00:00:00Whoever has a child first, either you or your sister will inherit the Benson Group.
00:00:23They're all ready for you.
00:00:25Welcome, Miss Benson.
00:00:27Sorry, Miss, why are you in such a rush?
00:00:31This whole inheritance thing was my grandfather's idea.
00:00:35I would rather die than let my sister run things.
00:00:39Not this one.
00:00:47Is this it?
00:00:48How am I supposed to trust that their genes are good enough for my child?
00:00:51I made sure they met the requirements.
00:00:53You are six foot two inches tall, no family history of genetic diseases, and Ivy League graduates.
00:01:00Miss Benson, I personally chose each one just for you.
00:01:17Sir, you had a little too much.
00:01:19Let me help you to your room.
00:01:20No, I can handle it myself.
00:01:21You can go.
00:01:22All right.
00:01:23Take care, sir.
00:01:30You over there in the corner, why weren't you lined up with the others?
00:01:46Bring him to my room.
00:01:47Yes, Miss Benson.
00:01:58Well, this isn't what I expected for today, but I'm sure you know who you're dealing with.
00:02:05You talk too much.
00:02:22If you're asking for trouble...
00:02:45You're awake already.
00:02:48You were great last night.
00:02:52What do you mean?
00:02:54What, you want me to give you a pat on the back?
00:02:57Don't get greedy.
00:02:59I've given you more than enough.
00:03:07You really have no idea who I am, do you?
00:03:09I don't need to.
00:03:11I'm not going to.
00:03:14Happy with last night?
00:03:19Not bad.
00:03:20Wow, if that comes out of your mouth, it's a really nice compliment.
00:03:28I'm going to bed, Miss Benson.
00:03:30I'm going to bed.
00:03:32I'm going to bed.
00:03:34Good night.
00:03:36Good night.
00:03:37Good night.
00:03:38Good night.
00:03:39Good night.
00:03:40Good night.
00:03:41Good night.
00:03:43The proposal for the bidding project has been submitted to the Palmer Group.
00:03:47But I hear there's quite a few submissions.
00:03:49Yeah, we need to land that project no matter what.
00:03:53We'll do whatever it takes.
00:03:54Elliot Palmer just returned to the country yesterday.
00:03:57It's said he'll personally oversee this project.
00:04:08Why does he look so familiar?
00:04:13Why does he look so familiar?
00:04:23Did you really think getting a project from the Palmer Group would be that easy?
00:04:27Kathleen?
00:04:29What are you doing here?
00:04:30Just here to wake you from your daydream.
00:04:33Oh, by the way, my fiancé Xander is going to introduce me to Mr. Elliot at the Palmer Group's bidding event.
00:04:41How does that sound?
00:04:44You and your good-for-nothing boyfriend?
00:04:46It sounds impossible.
00:04:48Don't forget, Xander is Mr. Palmer's nephew.
00:04:51And you're just a nobody, Sam.
00:04:56Unfortunately for you, Mr. Palmer's not so stupid, so I think I'll make the right decision.
00:05:02Just wait till I have this project secured.
00:05:05You'll be the first to know, sister.
00:05:18How are you feeling, sir?
00:05:20Have a few too many last night?
00:05:25Did you get...
00:05:28There are several companies interested in partnering on this project.
00:05:33Here are the proposals.
00:05:37Yeah, these are mediocre.
00:05:43This one from the Benson Group.
00:05:48Make sure they're invited to tomorrow's pre-bid conference.
00:05:58Mr. Palmer, I've sent the invite to the Benson Group upon your request.
00:06:01Their rep is Miss Claire Benson.
00:06:16It is her.
00:06:18It's her.
00:06:20It's her.
00:06:22It's her.
00:06:25It is her.
00:06:29What are you doing here?
00:06:31Oh, I pitched a project to the Palmer Group and got invited.
00:06:35Turns out Mr. Palmer's really interested in what I have to say.
00:06:41Don't get too confident. There's a lot that can still happen.
00:06:45Once I sit down with Mr. Palmer and go over the details, he'll choose me for sure.
00:06:49You'll love this. Just need to worry about looking pretty.
00:06:53Leave the business stuff to me?
00:06:56Claire!
00:06:57I don't know to get to you. She's just jealous.
00:07:01No. I'll find a way to get rid of her.
00:07:23Jesus, how are you so clumsy?
00:07:27What are you doing? Are you trying to ruin the conference or something?
00:07:31Who is that causing such a commotion at the Palmer Group bidding event?
00:07:35I heard she's the Benson family's eldest daughter. So irresponsible.
00:07:40You pushed me!
00:07:42Oh, Claire, don't make false accusations.
00:07:45If you're going to make such a scene, you might as well leave.
00:07:48Yeah, Claire, just go. We don't want to mess up the deal and upset the Palmer family.
00:07:54I was invited. Who are you to throw me out?
00:07:57Well, as a Palmer, we can do exactly as we please.
00:08:02Mr. Palmer has arrived.
00:08:09Mr. Palmer has arrived.
00:08:19I'm Charlie Wheeler, Mr. Palmer's secretary.
00:08:23Thank you all so much for attending the pre-bid conference.
00:08:26Mr. Palmer is tied up with some urgent matters and won't be attending.
00:08:30Thank you for your understanding.
00:08:32Well, Mr. Palmer is a bit of a mystery. It's tough to catch him.
00:08:36That's a shame. I was really looking forward to getting to know him.
00:08:39Everyone here is thinking the same thing. Did you really think you had a shot?
00:08:44Mr. Wheeler, I'm so sorry, but my sister was a bit clumsy and made a mess.
00:08:50I will have her leave right away.
00:08:55Miss Benson, we apologise for the complication.
00:08:58To make it right, Mr. Palmer has arranged some fresh clothes for you, if you'd like to follow me.
00:09:05Me?
00:09:06Yes. Please, come with me.
00:09:14Wow. Does this mean she might actually get to meet Mr. Palmer?
00:09:18What luck.
00:09:20If I'd have known that, I'd have made a scene, too.
00:09:26You just made things easier for Claire.
00:09:29Uncle Elliot doesn't usually miss things like this. I wonder what got into him.
00:09:35Sandra, help me figure out a way to sabotage Claire's proposal.
00:09:40If I get this project, I'll have more power in the company.
00:09:44I'll see what I can do.
00:09:53Charlie, can I ask you something?
00:09:55Sure thing. What's on your mind?
00:09:56Is it possible to have a chat with Mr. Palmer?
00:09:59I've done a deep dive into the Palmer Group's current bidding project,
00:10:02and I've put together a solid proposal. I'd like to speak to Mr. Palmer in person.
00:10:06According to protocol, you would need to speak with the project manager at Palmer Group first.
00:10:13But I'll check in with Mr. Palmer.
00:10:18Wait. Isn't that the escort from before?
00:10:22Has he found himself a sugar mama?
00:10:26Miss Benson?
00:10:29Mr. Palmer has left a spare change of clothes in there for you. I'll be right back, okay?
00:10:36Thank you, Charlie.
00:10:38You've been gone so long. Did you lose weight?
00:10:43Are you taking care of yourself?
00:10:46Now, Grandma keeps asking about you. Don't forget to visit her when you're free.
00:10:52I'll make sure I see her soon.
00:10:55You go on and keep Grandma company. I'll catch up to you once I've finished my work.
00:11:02Mr. Palmer?
00:11:03Miss Benson mentioned that she had a detailed proposal and wants to talk to you.
00:11:08She wants to see me?
00:11:10All right.
00:11:11Oh, by the way, I need you to run a background check on Claire.
00:11:16Consider it done, sir.
00:11:23Hmm. Mr. Palmer has a great taste.
00:11:26What are you doing here?
00:11:28Weren't you the one who wanted to see me?
00:11:33Weren't you the one who wanted to see me?
00:11:35What are you talking about?
00:11:40Not bad.
00:11:42That dress really suits you.
00:11:44This is a bidding event for the Palmer Group family. You need to leave, like, right now.
00:11:48It's her.
00:11:53How did you know I was her?
00:12:00How did you know you were around everything so well?
00:12:02I've been here a few times.
00:12:12I'm sorry.
00:12:14I'm sorry.
00:12:16I'm sorry.
00:12:26Do you treat every woman like this?
00:12:29What do you mean?
00:12:31Well, I just noticed.
00:12:32It seems you've attached yourself to a rich guest at the Palmer Group event.
00:12:36You must have some solid connections.
00:12:39I really think you've got the wrong idea.
00:12:41You don't need to explain.
00:12:42I know you're just trying to impress me with your tricks.
00:12:45I won't be coming back to you again.
00:12:47You don't need to waste your energy on me.
00:12:51Are you really sure you won't come looking for me later?
00:12:55You might end up regretting it.
00:12:58With all these options, why would I regret anything?
00:13:02Oh, Claire.
00:13:03I can't wait for you to see my true self.
00:13:10Charlie, did Mr Palmer agree to meet with me?
00:13:14I'm sorry, Mr Palmer isn't free today.
00:13:17When is he free?
00:13:18Can you set up a meeting?
00:13:20I shall let you know as soon as he's available to meet.
00:13:23Thank you for your help.
00:13:30Grandfather, are you okay?
00:13:33Why did you call a doctor?
00:13:34It's all your fault, Claire.
00:13:36Thankfully the doctor got here just in time.
00:13:40Claire, what happened at the banquet?
00:13:42The Palmer group phoned me directly.
00:13:46Postponing our cooperation with the Benson group.
00:13:51What? But why?
00:13:53Isn't it because you made a fool of yourself at the bidding event?
00:13:56It was such a scene.
00:13:58How can that be?
00:14:00Claire, you've really disappointed me.
00:14:07You know how everybody is relying on this project.
00:14:12Don't worry, Grandpa.
00:14:14Xander is going to talk to Mr Palmer for me.
00:14:17Well done.
00:14:18Xander will have to work very hard on the cooperation.
00:14:23That isn't needed.
00:14:25I'll take back the project myself.
00:14:37You don't have an appointment, so you can't go up.
00:14:41Okay, fine. Can I make an appointment right now?
00:14:44Unfortunately, Mr Palmer's schedule is packed for the next three months.
00:14:52So you can leave your contact info with us and we'll get back to you right away.
00:15:10Mr Palmer's office is on the top floor. Why can't I find it?
00:15:16Hey, didn't you guys finish up the repairs already?
00:15:19What are you still doing here?
00:15:20Yeah, yeah, we'll be right down.
00:15:23Hey, you, stop! Where are you going?
00:15:25Who are you?
00:15:26Security!
00:15:29Mr Palmer, I'm so sorry to intrude into your business.
00:15:33It's okay, it's okay.
00:15:34I'm sorry.
00:15:36Mr Palmer, I'm so sorry to intrude. My name's Claire. Claire Benson. I'm with...
00:15:45What?
00:15:52This would be a hot fit.
00:15:57Darling, I've got a table for us tonight.
00:16:03Why is there a plumber here?
00:16:05I don't know.
00:16:10Madam, I apologise. This is my mistake. I'll make sure to get on right away.
00:16:15Okay, let me go. I just wanted to speak to Mr Palmer.
00:16:21Do you know her?
00:16:23Yeah, we've crossed paths a few times.
00:16:29Alright, alright, I can walk myself.
00:16:31I've seen a lot of women like you come around here and try and get close to Mr Palmer.
00:16:36Let me assure you, that won't work.
00:16:39It's that lady in there, Mrs Margaret Palmer.
00:16:41If you think you're going to use her to get close to Mr Palmer, let me be clear, that won't work.
00:16:48Mrs Margaret Palmer having that kind of meeting in her son's office?
00:16:52That's a real shocker.
00:16:54How did the meeting go?
00:16:56I didn't even get to see Elliot Palmer. I need to find another way.
00:17:04Hello?
00:17:12Kathleen might be expecting.
00:17:15What?
00:17:17Kathleen might be expecting.
00:17:20Are you kidding?
00:17:22Kathleen and her fiancé went to the maternity clinic together today.
00:17:27This can't be happening. I need to figure this out immediately.
00:17:32Keep searching for someone. Don't hold back on the costs. I need this tonight.
00:17:37Okay.
00:17:47So, are you telling me Claire was looking for a male escort?
00:17:52Yes, sir.
00:17:53Her grandfather has made it clear that only those who can provide a third generation first will inherit the Benson family business.
00:18:00So she came up with this absurd plan and she thinks I'm one of them.
00:18:05I also heard that she's on the lookout for a male escort tonight.
00:18:09It seems she didn't have any luck last time around.
00:18:12I need to find out why she's meeting these escorts tonight.
00:18:25I've got loads of tricks up my sleeve. They'll definitely please you.
00:18:31Doubt that.
00:18:33Next.
00:18:34Next.
00:18:36Uh, Miss Brent, uh, I, uh, my name is, uh, uh...
00:18:43You can't even say your own name. Next.
00:18:47Oh, this one looks nice.
00:18:50Look at those biceps.
00:18:52Skipping leg day, though.
00:18:57Who are these people you're bringing to me?
00:19:00I just want someone who feels right.
00:19:03Do you have any specific requests?
00:19:18He was definitely the best.
00:19:21I shouldn't have been so tough on him.
00:19:24The one in black looks decent. Bring him to my room?
00:19:27Looks decent. Bring him to my room?
00:19:45Mr Palmer, what can I do for you?
00:19:48Quit.
00:19:50Why? Why would someone say no to my offer?
00:19:54He mentioned he had an emergency.
00:19:58Okay, so hire someone else then.
00:20:01I saw one of the other guys, like, a moment ago.
00:20:04He's not available either.
00:20:07What, he had an emergency as well?
00:20:09No, Miss Brent.
00:20:10No, Miss Brent.
00:20:11No, Miss Brent.
00:20:12No, Miss Brent.
00:20:13No, Miss Brent.
00:20:14No, Miss Brent.
00:20:15He has an emergency as well.
00:20:17No, Miss Benson. He's already been hired by someone else.
00:20:20What about the others?
00:20:22I just spoke to the manager and he said…
00:20:26He said what?
00:20:27There's only one escort left in the entire place.
00:20:31How is that possible?
00:20:33The manager said, a VIP booked out all the others.
00:20:38All hired by one person?
00:20:39One person.
00:20:44That is quite a craving.
00:20:47All right, let's just go with the one that's available.
00:20:59You again.
00:21:00Yeah, just wanted to be sure who the father of your baby was.
00:21:39I know it's itch.
00:21:43It's probably just the AC or something.
00:21:51Give me your phone.
00:22:05I'll call you when I'm ready again.
00:22:10Just don't book anyone else in, Thomas.
00:22:15Okay, well, I'll just be waiting for you here.
00:22:24I heard a VIP dropped a load of cash in here yesterday.
00:22:29You mean Mr. Palmer?
00:22:31Mr. Palmer?
00:22:33Elliot Palmer.
00:22:36Was in here last night.
00:22:39Oh, he was definitely here, if you know what I mean.
00:22:43You mean?
00:22:47You didn't hear it from me,
00:22:48but Mr. Palmer asked for all the male escorts.
00:22:53I can't believe Elliot would be into something like that.
00:22:56But I guess if Margaret is a wild card,
00:22:58why wouldn't her sons?
00:23:00No wonder they're related.
00:23:01Does Mr. Palmer come here often?
00:23:04That was his first visit.
00:23:06Please do let me know if he comes again.
00:23:09That might not be the best idea.
00:23:23No worries, Miss Benson, I'll handle it.
00:23:27No worries, Miss Benson, I'll handle it.
00:23:35Hello?
00:23:36Claire, do you even realise the trouble you've caused?
00:23:39Get home right now!
00:23:50Claire, do you see the mess you've created?
00:23:55Claire, do you see the mess you've created?
00:24:01Claire, even if you are looking for a guy,
00:24:04you shouldn't just settle for an escort.
00:24:06The gossip is already everywhere,
00:24:08saying your personal life is a disaster
00:24:11and it's hitting Benson's stock prices.
00:24:16Claire, I'm very disappointed.
00:24:20Grandfather, it's a misunderstanding, clearly.
00:24:23I was at the bar for business.
00:24:26I actually have a boyfriend.
00:24:30A boyfriend?
00:24:33How did I not know about that?
00:24:35Since when do you need to know my personal life?
00:24:40Why not have him come to Grandpa's birthday in a few days?
00:24:46Have him meet Grandpa.
00:24:49Kathleen's got a good point.
00:24:52I want to see if he's a good fit.
00:24:54If he is, we can get and handle things early,
00:24:58quiet the rumours and boost the stock prices.
00:25:05Yes, Grandpa.
00:25:14Here, this is for you.
00:25:22You're so generous.
00:25:31Sir, last night you...
00:25:33Thank you for your arrangements last night.
00:25:41Alright, see you.
00:25:46Miss Benson really is something else.
00:25:48It was just yesterday she was asking me about Mr Palmer.
00:25:52Look at them now, so close already.
00:25:57Isn't Alfred your boss?
00:25:59Why didn't he just call you sir?
00:26:01He did.
00:26:03He was always nice to us.
00:26:06Speaking of last night, I heard Mr Palmer
00:26:09rented out the whole place to male espers.
00:26:13You knew the mysterious Mr Palmer had such wild tastes.
00:26:16I wonder if he's around, he's probably too busy in bed.
00:26:20Is that why you wanted to see me?
00:26:22No.
00:26:25I want you to be my boyfriend.
00:26:30Are you for real?
00:26:33It's just an act to help me deal with my grandfather.
00:26:38Do you think this will work?
00:26:40Don't worry, I'll make sure that you're happy with the deal.
00:26:43Money alone won't cut it.
00:26:45Fine, what do you want?
00:26:48Don't be too greedy.
00:26:50I just want...
00:26:53You.
00:26:59From now on, you're a young entrepreneur
00:27:03just returning home from business.
00:27:06Right.
00:27:08Let's go find you an outfit.
00:27:11What?
00:27:13Are you saying Mike won't let me borrow the clothes?
00:27:16Yes, that's right.
00:27:18Mr Brown decided not to lend out anything.
00:27:22Borrow it? Why didn't he just buy it?
00:27:25Mike's design is the most exclusive in the country.
00:27:28Even celebrities from overseas have to book a year in advance
00:27:32to wear his clothing.
00:27:34It's not something you can just buy.
00:27:36We don't have a choice.
00:27:38It's not something you can just buy.
00:27:40We had a deal.
00:27:42Where is Mike? I want to speak with him personally.
00:27:45He's not here.
00:27:47Or he's just avoiding me?
00:27:50Enough!
00:27:54I can't lend you the outfits, my love.
00:27:58Why?
00:28:00With all this recent media attention around you,
00:28:03aligning my brand with you right now is not ideal.
00:28:07Especially considering I can't control who may end up in my designs.
00:28:12Oh, I hope you understand.
00:28:14It's nothing personal.
00:28:16I just have to prioritise what's best for me and my brand.
00:28:21What's the issue here?
00:28:23You!
00:28:25Mr Pike, is it?
00:28:27That's just me.
00:28:29So, I'm hearing that...
00:28:31I'm not worthy to wear your clothes.
00:28:33Oh, no, not at all.
00:28:35It would be an honour if you were to wear my designs.
00:28:39Sorry, is this how you treat all your customers?
00:28:43Oh, I'm so sorry, Miss Spencer.
00:28:46This is all my fault.
00:28:48Why the sudden change in attitudes?
00:28:50Well, this...
00:28:53gentleman's style and presence
00:28:56aligns perfectly with my brand's...
00:28:59Please, please, if I may...
00:29:01If I may, if I may...
00:29:05Who says that looks can't pay the bills?
00:29:26Woo!
00:29:27Fits you like a glove.
00:29:29Well, it was styled just right for this gentleman.
00:29:32Mm-hmm.
00:29:33Let's see what Kathleen has to say this time.
00:29:39Hey, just remember, this is a 1945 Chateau de Jean Rothschild.
00:29:43Just say that you bought it.
00:29:45I already told you, I have a gift.
00:29:47It's on its way.
00:29:49What could you have possibly gotten?
00:29:51I know your job is tough. Don't go crazy with it, okay?
00:29:53Just keep it short.
00:29:55Don't let anything slip.
00:29:59Bye.
00:30:07Hello, Miss Spencer.
00:30:09My name's Elliot. I'm Claire's boyfriend.
00:30:11Elliot?
00:30:13Mm.
00:30:14Please take a seat.
00:30:19Where on earth did Claire find a guy like him?
00:30:23And that's a monk design, isn't it?
00:30:25Don't worry.
00:30:27I heard Claire went to a bar the other day.
00:30:34She probably hired him.
00:30:36I'll expose her to sweet.
00:30:43So, Elliot, what do you do?
00:30:46Well, I work...
00:30:47He...
00:30:49Well, he just moved back to the country
00:30:51and started a construction company.
00:30:55Oh, isn't that something?
00:30:57The Benson Group's just getting into construction, too.
00:31:01Why not have Claire's new boyfriend share his future plans with Grandpa?
00:31:06Maybe even share some advice.
00:31:12Well, he's just starting out, you know.
00:31:14He's just figuring it out right now, learning the ropes.
00:31:16Claire, can your boyfriend not speak for himself?
00:31:21Claire, stop interrupting.
00:31:24I'd like to hear what Elliot thinks.
00:31:27Let's see what this escort can come up with.
00:31:35I'd like to hear what Elliot thinks.
00:31:44I want to shake up the building bit that's traditionally used
00:31:47and, um, agencies.
00:31:50Now, these won't be like regular branches.
00:31:52They'll produce everything themselves
00:31:54to keep higher profit margins on the overall projects.
00:32:02He really seems to know what he's talking about.
00:32:05It's just a coincidence.
00:32:08Elliot, our chat today has really given me a lot to think about.
00:32:13You know an awful lot for a man of your age.
00:32:16Thank you, sir.
00:32:18You must have really put an effort to memorise that.
00:32:20Oh, that was definitely needed.
00:32:23Oh, Grandpa.
00:32:24Elliot also bought you a gift.
00:32:29Is this a rare vintage wine?
00:32:31Yeah, we bought it as a sign of respect to you.
00:32:35We hope you enjoy it.
00:32:41Oh, I remember this bottle.
00:32:44It was auctioned off last month.
00:32:46The last name of the buyer was Benson, right?
00:32:50No, you must be wrong.
00:32:53I actually have the auction news right here, Grandpa.
00:32:56See?
00:32:57This bottle was definitely bought by Claire.
00:33:03Elliot, could you not afford a gift
00:33:05or did you just not care?
00:33:08Claire?
00:33:09Yes, I did buy it, but I...
00:33:11Claire bought this because she really cares.
00:33:13Claire bought this because she really cares.
00:33:15My gift is on its way.
00:33:19If you buy something random right now,
00:33:21it will actually make it worse.
00:33:22Just trust me.
00:33:24Seriously, Claire?
00:33:26What kind of boyfriend did you find?
00:33:29Did you just pick him up off the street?
00:33:32Mr. Benson,
00:33:33there's a rather fancy car parked outside
00:33:35and it seems to be blocking the front entrance.
00:33:41There's a rather fancy car parked outside
00:33:43and it seems to be blocking the front entrance.
00:33:46Is that Xander?
00:33:47It's definitely Xander.
00:33:49You must be here to bring presents for your Grandpa.
00:33:53Oh, Xander, I knew it was you.
00:33:55Oh, Xander, I knew it was you.
00:33:57Oh, Xander, I knew it was you.
00:33:59Oh, Xander, I knew it was you.
00:34:01Oh, Xander, I knew it was you.
00:34:12Happy birthday, Mr. Benson.
00:34:14Mr. Benson,
00:34:15this gift's for you.
00:34:23Is this the Hulk special watch
00:34:25which worth millions?
00:34:28I didn't know they made them anymore.
00:34:30Well, I happen to know the CEO very well
00:34:32and I got one from his private collection
00:34:35just for you.
00:34:39Oh, look at the colour of that gem.
00:34:41The clarity.
00:34:43You can't buy quality
00:34:45even if you've got a stash of money.
00:34:49Did you really get all these gifts?
00:34:51Yeah.
00:34:52Yeah, I did actually.
00:34:55Do you accept our gifts?
00:34:56I accept these gifts.
00:34:59Thank you very much.
00:35:03Didn't you say he was just an escort?
00:35:06How on earth could he afford anything?
00:35:09Is it possible that Claire has actually
00:35:11found herself a rich boyfriend?
00:35:14Seriously?
00:35:15Seriously, how did you afford these?
00:35:17They're all fake, of course.
00:35:20Had them made up special for
00:35:22a lot of money.
00:35:25Eight thousand?
00:35:26Eighty thousand.
00:35:28All this to make you look good.
00:35:30You should probably pay me back later.
00:35:36What's so special about that?
00:35:38Sander will be here soon
00:35:39and he's Mr. Elliot Palmer's nephew.
00:35:42The Palmer family's wealth and status
00:35:44is far superior to some flashy boyfriend.
00:35:49My nephew?
00:35:50If he shows up, won't everyone know
00:35:52who I really am?
00:35:53Hello, everyone.
00:35:58Hello, everyone.
00:36:01You look lovely.
00:36:02Darling.
00:36:08You must be Claire's boyfriend.
00:36:10Good to meet you.
00:36:11Yeah.
00:36:12I assume haircut wasn't
00:36:13at the top of your checklist, eh?
00:36:21You really have no idea who I am.
00:36:25Why would I?
00:36:26Why would I know you?
00:36:30This is Elliot.
00:36:32He's an entrepreneur that's
00:36:34just come back from abroad.
00:36:39Grandpa's really into this guy.
00:36:41Hurry up and give him your gift.
00:36:43Stop it.
00:36:46This is a vintage 1992 bottle of wine.
00:36:48I had my uncle set it up
00:36:50just for you.
00:36:521992.
00:36:53Never seen one of this nature?
00:36:55Or have you got something
00:36:56better to show me?
00:36:59Well, they say
00:37:00it's the thought that counts, right?
00:37:04I'm happy anyway.
00:37:06A rich family like the Palmers
00:37:07and you can't even get
00:37:08a decent bottle of wine.
00:37:10Sam is such a tightwad.
00:37:11I bet Elliot Palmer is worse.
00:37:13That's not fair.
00:37:15Maybe Elliot Palmer has no idea
00:37:18who I really am.
00:37:19Maybe Elliot Palmer has no idea
00:37:21who Xander even is.
00:37:24How could that be?
00:37:25It's his nephew.
00:37:27What's your last name?
00:37:35What's your last name?
00:37:40Never mind.
00:37:42You're just an escort.
00:37:43There's no way you could
00:37:44be linked to the Palmer family.
00:37:46Claire Kathleen.
00:37:47It's lovely to see
00:37:48you two settle down.
00:37:51It really makes me
00:37:52very happy.
00:37:54I'll take great care of Kathleen.
00:37:56And the family, of course.
00:37:59Claire,
00:38:01now that Kathleen's pregnant,
00:38:03you two
00:38:04will have to hurry up a bit.
00:38:06All in good time, Grandpa.
00:38:12You did really great today.
00:38:14Go ahead and head back first.
00:38:15I'll catch up later.
00:38:17Just remember
00:38:18to pay me back
00:38:19for the gifts
00:38:20and the car rental.
00:38:21Yeah, sure thing,
00:38:22money-waster.
00:38:36Boss,
00:38:37found out what you wanted?
00:38:38That Xander
00:38:39is just the son
00:38:40of the Palmer family.
00:38:41Changed his name
00:38:42a while back
00:38:43to trick people.
00:38:45I'm just curious
00:38:46as to where he came from.
00:38:48Looks like a fake.
00:38:50Should we file charges?
00:38:51I can get the legal team
00:38:52to whip up some papers.
00:38:53No.
00:38:55No, not at the moment.
00:38:56I want them to realise
00:38:57that the higher they climb,
00:38:58the higher they fall.
00:39:11Can you meet me tonight?
00:39:13You have an international
00:39:14meeting already set.
00:39:17Sorry,
00:39:18I can't do tonight.
00:39:20Guess I'll have to
00:39:21find somebody else.
00:39:22Lately,
00:39:23even booking an escort
00:39:24is a hassle.
00:39:29She's seriously
00:39:30going to find someone else?
00:39:31I'm afraid
00:39:32Miss Benson is set
00:39:33on her own.
00:39:34I'm sure
00:39:35she'll be fine.
00:39:36I'm sure
00:39:37she'll be fine.
00:39:38I'm sure
00:39:39she'll be fine.
00:39:40I'm sure
00:39:41Miss Benson
00:39:42is set on having a child.
00:39:43You need to put an end
00:39:44to this situation
00:39:45once and for all.
00:39:46I thought
00:39:47the Benson group
00:39:48were keen on working with us.
00:39:54So you're saying
00:39:55that the Palmer group
00:39:56not only wants to
00:39:57discuss the partnership
00:39:58but Mr Palmer
00:39:59wants to set up
00:40:00a meeting today?
00:40:01Yep.
00:40:02I just heard
00:40:03from his secretary.
00:40:04It's confirmed.
00:40:05Well,
00:40:06cancel the bar reservation
00:40:07then.
00:40:08Get a car ready.
00:40:09Thank you, Mr Palmer.
00:40:20Come in.
00:40:22Mr Palmer.
00:40:27Mr Palmer.
00:40:29I'm Claire.
00:40:30Claire Benson.
00:40:32This is the project proposal
00:40:33we've been meaning
00:40:34to share with you.
00:40:39You are Claire?
00:40:41Is this really
00:40:42Mr Palmer,
00:40:43the CEO?
00:40:44Why is he wearing
00:40:45that mask?
00:40:47Is he hiding something?
00:40:49You have five minutes.
00:40:51Wait.
00:40:52That voice
00:40:53sounds so familiar.
00:40:55Miss Benson.
00:40:57Sorry.
00:40:58The proposal
00:41:00tells you everything
00:41:01you need to know.
00:41:04The Benson group
00:41:05has a lot of experience
00:41:06with the Palmer group
00:41:08The Benson group
00:41:09has a lot of experience
00:41:10in this area.
00:41:11We can help your company
00:41:12grow in the property sector
00:41:13within two quarters.
00:41:14This is good.
00:41:16The Benson group
00:41:17has really been
00:41:18looking forward
00:41:19to working with you.
00:41:20But we have
00:41:21five other companies
00:41:22who are submitting
00:41:23similar proposals.
00:41:25Why should we
00:41:26choose yours?
00:41:27Whatever you need
00:41:28I can do it.
00:41:29I can make it happen.
00:41:32There's just
00:41:34one thing
00:41:35I'd like from you.
00:41:36Yes,
00:41:37of course.
00:41:38Whatever you need
00:41:39as long as it's within my power
00:41:40consider it done.
00:41:42I want you to be
00:41:43my secret lover.
00:41:49I want you to be
00:41:50my secret lover.
00:41:54What?
00:41:55Did you just say?
00:41:56From now on
00:41:57you are not permitted
00:41:58to see anyone else.
00:42:01Didn't you say
00:42:02you would do
00:42:03whatever it takes?
00:42:04But I...
00:42:05Never mind.
00:42:12Miss Palmer
00:42:14I accept
00:42:15your conditions.
00:42:18Are you certain about this?
00:42:20If this is what it takes
00:42:21to get the deal.
00:42:23Alright, fine.
00:42:24Charlie, give me contract.
00:42:26Why does he always
00:42:27put Miss Benson
00:42:28through this?
00:42:31This is a secret deal.
00:42:33Once you sign
00:42:34you will follow
00:42:35all the rules I make.
00:42:36Whenever I call
00:42:37you must answer.
00:42:39Partnership
00:42:40with your company
00:42:41will start right away.
00:42:43Are you ready for this?
00:42:51I didn't think
00:42:52Miss Benson would have
00:42:53even less pride
00:42:54than I thought.
00:42:55Pride doesn't pay
00:42:56the bills, does it?
00:42:57Mr. Palmer
00:42:59What is wrong
00:43:00about you?
00:43:04What are you doing?
00:43:05I just want to reveal
00:43:06the ugly truth
00:43:07behind the mask
00:43:08the one that you
00:43:09hide from everyone.
00:43:11Why was your head
00:43:12made of metal?
00:43:13Don't let this
00:43:14little bit of power
00:43:15go to your head.
00:43:16There are plenty
00:43:17of people
00:43:18that would love
00:43:19to go on a date with me.
00:43:20You should take
00:43:21a look in the mirror
00:43:22and ask if
00:43:23you even deserve me.
00:43:29Sir
00:43:30Don't let Miss Benson
00:43:31get to you.
00:43:32Don't let Miss Benson
00:43:33get to you.
00:43:34She's just
00:43:35trying to exploit
00:43:36her perceived weakness
00:43:37that's all.
00:43:43Clare
00:43:45You're even more
00:43:46fascinating than I thought.
00:43:50Elliot's finally
00:43:51back in town
00:43:53but I haven't seen him
00:43:54all day.
00:43:55I think Elliot
00:43:56might be in love.
00:43:59What?
00:44:00Last week
00:44:01out of nowhere
00:44:02he sent a ton
00:44:03of pricey gifts
00:44:04to Mr. Benson
00:44:05for his birthday.
00:44:06Have you ever
00:44:07seen him go
00:44:08out of his way
00:44:09for anyone like that?
00:44:11He's got to be
00:44:12interested in
00:44:13the Benson family's daughter.
00:44:17Elliot's already
00:44:18been to meet
00:44:19the head of the family.
00:44:22We must figure out
00:44:23how to meet
00:44:24the Bensons.
00:44:27Josh
00:44:29Yes ma'am
00:44:30What can I do for you?
00:44:31I need you to go over
00:44:32to the Benson family
00:44:33and ask them
00:44:34to dinner.
00:44:36And this is
00:44:37a gift
00:44:38for my daughter-in-law.
00:44:40Please make sure
00:44:41it gets delivered.
00:44:47Are you saying
00:44:48Mrs. Bernice
00:44:49Palmwell

00:44:53Well

00:45:11I apologise

00:45:14mistake.
00:45:15I hope you can

00:45:17The madam thinks

00:50:17I gave you too much credit
00:50:18Someone like you
00:50:19doesn't belong
00:50:20in the Benson family
00:50:21Having a
00:50:22fun artist
00:50:23like you
00:50:24in the family
00:50:26is a disgrace
00:50:27to our name
00:50:28Enough
00:50:31It's clear
00:50:32that you're the one
00:50:33who doesn't belong
00:50:34in the Palmer family
00:50:36Mrs Palmer
00:50:37Mrs
00:50:38Mrs Margaret Palmer
00:50:40Oh
00:50:42Well
00:50:43I'm really sorry
00:50:44We appear to
00:50:45have had a terrible mix up
00:50:46My eldest daughter
00:50:48brought the wrong people in
00:50:49and
00:50:50well
00:50:51Absolutely
00:50:52You two
00:50:54are the ones
00:50:55who should go
00:50:56This is
00:50:57the Palmer
00:50:58family's restaurant
00:50:59and you're not welcome here
00:51:01Mrs Palmer
00:51:02Are you sure
00:51:03you're not confused?
00:51:16Get out
00:51:17now
00:51:18Get out! Now!
00:51:38Oh, Elliot. I need to be clear today.
00:51:42I really don't like that Kathleen you're hanging about with.
00:51:46Exactly. With her attitude, even if she had a Palmer baby, I wouldn't let her into the family.
00:51:52Kathleen!
00:51:55You two definitely have the wrong idea.
00:51:59Kathleen isn't my girlfriend and her kid has nothing to do with me.
00:52:04Oh, I'm so glad to hear that. She and her mum don't seem like nice people.
00:52:11Claire.
00:52:14Claire seems familiar.
00:52:18Oh, wait a minute.
00:52:21She's the plumber.
00:52:23I think Claire is sweet.
00:52:26Claire, she's even more of a hassle.
00:52:29You seem to know her pretty well.
00:52:33Is there something between you two?
00:52:36Yeah, let's not talk about that now.
00:52:39Oh, Kathleen's fiancé, Xander, has been pretending to be part of the Palmer family.
00:52:51Mum, Mrs Palmer really hates me now. What am I going to do?
00:52:57Darling, it's fine. As long as Xander cares about you, that's all that matters.
00:53:03He'll say nice things to Mrs Palmer and she'll forgive us.
00:53:08It's the only way.
00:53:11It's all Claire's fault. She's trying to sabotage my marriage to the Palmer family on purpose.
00:53:18Don't worry, darling.
00:53:22I'll make sure she pays for this.
00:53:30It's all here.
00:53:33No need to worry.
00:53:35Every year on the anniversary of your mum's passing, you come to the flower field she planted,
00:53:41you pay your respects, you take care of the garden and you plant the flowers.
00:53:46I won't forget.
00:54:03This is the Benson family's property. Who told you you could just tear it apart?
00:54:08It was Mrs Amy Benson's orders.
00:54:13Amy.
00:54:16Who told you you could touch my mum's garden?
00:54:20Well, Kathleen's been having pregnancy cravings and she wanted oranges.
00:54:26I thought that spot there would be the best place to grow them there for her.
00:54:30That's my mum's space.
00:54:32And?
00:54:34She's got one.
00:54:37And those flowers are just sitting there. No one to enjoy them. What a waste.
00:54:42It's better to clear them away and grow orange trees for everyone.
00:54:45Yeah, sis. Homegrown oranges just taste way better.
00:54:52You're a homewrecker. Who told you you could touch any of the Benson family's stuff?
00:54:56Fix the garden now!
00:54:58That's enough. Let go of her.
00:55:02Amy's your mother too, so show a little respect for your elders.
00:55:09Grandpa, she destroyed the garden.
00:55:11No, I said it was fine. It's just a garden. It's our land. Don't interrupt.
00:55:26Kathleen is soon to become a palmer and Grandpa really cares about that.
00:55:33And when Kathleen marries Andrew and has a kid to inherit the Benson estate,
00:55:38you won't be part of this family anymore.
00:55:55Why the sudden invites? Did you miss me?
00:55:59Hey, what's wrong?
00:56:01Don't ask.
00:56:07Just let me stay closer.
00:56:09Okay. You don't need to say anything.
00:56:16Huh. Looks like the power's gone.
00:56:20I'll check it out, okay?
00:56:21No, please don't leave.
00:56:23Okay. I'll stick around.
00:56:50So, you're scared of the dark.
00:56:56My mum died when I was little, and my dad married my stepmum, Amy.
00:57:04And one day when Dad was away, she locked me in a tiny, dark closet for two years.
00:57:14She locked me in a tiny, dark closet for two whole days.
00:57:21Sorry, Grandpa. I didn't mean to take care of you.
00:57:24When Mum died, no one really looked after me.
00:57:30But eventually, I did learn how to protect myself.
00:57:36I had to get strong so no one could push me around.
00:57:40Well, from now on, I'll protect you.
00:57:43You don't trust me.
00:57:47Alright. I'll believe anything you say.
00:57:52How am I supposed to take an escort's promise seriously?
00:58:01It's coming. Don't worry. I'm all set.
00:58:04Why is there a crowd here?
00:58:06Oh, they're friends and relatives from my side of the family.
00:58:10We're here to get over the plans for Kathleen and Xander's wedding.
00:58:14A wedding?
00:58:16Oh, you haven't been told yet.
00:58:19Mrs Palmer's coming round soon to discuss the marriage.
00:58:28Clare, be sure to smile. Be polite.
00:58:31And don't say anything bad in front of Mrs Palmer.
00:58:35But, um, Mrs Palmer's coming round?
00:58:39Mrs Palmer's coming round?
00:58:41Yes, Xander. You spoke to Mrs Palmer.
00:58:44She forgave us and, well, she's offered to come over and talk about the wedding.
00:58:49She did mention that to you, right?
00:58:52Yeah. Yeah, of course.
00:58:54What the hell? When did I ever say anything nice?
00:58:57This doesn't matter.
00:58:58Mrs Palmer must really care about Xander.
00:59:00I mean, she's made time with her busy schedule to come here in person and discuss the wedding.
00:59:05It's wonderful.
00:59:06The Palmers are super exclusive.
00:59:08I mean, I'm so lucky to know Kathleen and to be able to meet Mrs Palmer in person.
00:59:14When Xander and I are married, I'll make sure that you go round to the Palmer residence all the time.
00:59:21Oh, Kathleen, I've just remembered there's something I've left unfinished in the office.
00:59:25I must go right away.
00:59:27Xander, you must make time for your own wedding.
00:59:33You must make time for your own wedding.
00:59:37Yeah, of course.
00:59:39On that note, actually, I have a small favour to ask you.
00:59:43My sister would really love an internship at Palmer Corp.
00:59:51Well...
00:59:53I'm sure there's something that Xander could do.
00:59:56Thank you so much, Kathleen.
00:59:59Yes, well, funny, actually, I've also got a little favour I'd love to discuss and we...
01:00:05Mrs Palmer has arrived.
01:00:11Mrs Palmer, you made it.
01:00:16That's him.
01:00:17I mean, you made it.
01:00:21That's him. Grab him.
01:00:26That's him. Grab him.
01:00:33Mrs Palmer, what's going on? What's the meaning of this?
01:00:38Xander is your grand-nephew.
01:00:40Grand-nephew? I'd really love to know when we got a relative like that.
01:00:48That's crazy. Are you saying he's not a Palmer?
01:00:55If he's not a Palmer, then who is he?
01:01:00Xander is the son of the Palmer family's driver.
01:01:09No.
01:01:12No.
01:01:15Oh, no.
01:01:16No, wait.
01:01:18Sorry you're being arrested for fraud and information. Come with us, please.
01:01:22Madam, I can explain. This is a misunderstanding.
01:01:25Kathleen, honey, do something.
01:01:26I don't even know who you are.
01:01:28Exactly. Our Kathleen would never be involved with a scammer.
01:01:34Listen, we thought you'd married into wealth, but clearly you're with a fraud and...
01:01:38I'm taking my jewellery back.
01:01:40Yeah, me too.
01:01:46Sorry, family has to stay out here.
01:01:52What? Can you not even handle a little hospice or smell?
01:01:57My period's late. Could it be?
01:02:00Congratulations, Claire. By the looks of this, you're about four weeks pregnant.
01:02:06I'm not pregnant.
01:02:07I'm not pregnant.
01:02:08I'm not pregnant.
01:02:09I'm not pregnant.
01:02:10I'm not pregnant.
01:02:11I'm not pregnant.
01:02:12I'm not pregnant.
01:02:13I'm not pregnant.
01:02:14I'm not pregnant.
01:02:16I'm having a baby.
01:02:17Yes.
01:02:20Should I let him know?
01:02:24It's just a fan donation. Don't make it a big deal.
01:02:30Kathleen, your grandpa is still in ER.
01:02:34Where did you leave?
01:02:36I was just in a bit of pain, so I just went for a check-up.
01:02:40What's wrong? Are you okay?
01:02:41Are you okay?
01:02:42This is our only shot at keeping the family legacy.
01:02:46I'm okay, yeah. Don't worry too much.
01:02:57How did you get out?
01:02:59My dad took out a loan and bailed me out.
01:03:01If I don't pay it back within a month, I'm looking for fraud charges.
01:03:05What's that got to do with me?
01:03:06Well, you spent the money as well.
01:03:07Don't act like you're not involved, Kathleen.
01:03:09What do you really want, Zonda?
01:03:12I need money.
01:03:14Three million Swiss francs.
01:03:16Well, that's all I'll pay you.
01:03:20How about myself, Zonda? Let's see.
01:03:22Be quiet.
01:03:28Take this for now.
01:03:30But if you tell anyone anything, you will regret it.
01:03:40The patient had a heart attack.
01:03:42His emotions are all over the place.
01:03:44As family, you have to keep him calm and avoid stressing him out.
01:03:52This is all Zonda's fault.
01:03:57I'm sorry, Kathleen.
01:03:59It's okay.
01:04:01It's okay.
01:04:03It's okay.
01:04:05It's okay.
01:04:07It's okay.
01:04:09Grandpa, are you all right?
01:04:11I'm okay.
01:04:13I thought if Kathleen married a palmer, they'd work with us.
01:04:18Everything would be, you know, okay.
01:04:22But now, it's nothing but doom.
01:04:26Tom, even if Kathleen didn't marry a palmer, we've still got other projects to focus on.
01:04:32Well, the company is not doing very well financially and we're running out of funds.
01:04:39How can that be, when the Benson Group is huge?
01:04:43How can it just fall apart?
01:04:45The company has been in trouble for quite a while.
01:04:49And I thought if we hurried it up and teamed with the palmers,
01:04:54then everything would be okay.
01:04:58Just get out of this mess.
01:05:03Elliot has money.
01:05:05Maybe, maybe he could help us.
01:05:10Grandpa, I'm so sorry. I wasn't completely honest.
01:05:15Elliot doesn't have money.
01:05:18What?
01:05:19Oh, you're a liar.
01:05:21I always knew he came from a poor background.
01:05:25Enough of this arguing.
01:05:28Another scenario.
01:05:32If we marry into the Jenkins family,
01:05:36Jenkins family?
01:05:39I heard that Liam Jenkins is a player and has a bunch of girlfriends.
01:05:45I don't want to marry someone like that.
01:05:48Well, okay, you don't have to marry him if you don't want to.
01:05:52Let Claire marry him.
01:06:01Alright, fine. Grandpa, I will marry him.
01:06:07I will marry him.
01:06:09The Benton Group is my mum's legacy.
01:06:11I can't let her efforts go to waste, no matter what it takes.
01:06:15You really married him?
01:06:19Well, you're doing a great thing for the family.
01:06:27It's tough on you.
01:06:37Why do you look so serious?
01:06:40Is there something on your mind?
01:06:44Check out this confidentiality agreement.
01:06:48Confidentiality agreement?
01:06:50Just some things to remember after we break up.
01:06:57You want to break up with me?
01:06:58Don't worry, I'll make sure that you're well taken care of.
01:07:01Do you think I care about that?
01:07:03Don't forget the deal.
01:07:04I'm the one backing you up.
01:07:06Well, at least tell me why.
01:07:07It's not a reason.
01:07:11I've always been the one running this relationship.
01:07:13I can end it whenever I feel like it.
01:07:18I thought we had something real.
01:07:24There's something wrong.
01:07:27There's something wrong.
01:07:47So, you're Claire.
01:07:49Hi.
01:07:50I didn't expect you to be so good looking.
01:07:52Perhaps this arranged marriage thing won't work out so bad after all.
01:07:55Aren't we here to discuss business?
01:07:57Please, I doubt you're interested in any of that.
01:08:00Let's focus on us.
01:08:01Sure, go on.
01:08:03Firstly, you should know that this marriage is an agreement between our families.
01:08:07Don't expect me to forfeit.
01:08:09That's not a concern.
01:08:11Secondly, once we are married, we agree to keep out of each other's business.
01:08:16That's fine by me.
01:08:18I won't interfere with your life.
01:08:20There's something you should know, Mr Jenkins.
01:08:23Go ahead.
01:08:24Go ahead.
01:08:28I'm pregnant.
01:08:31Relax, the father's not in the picture.
01:08:33And I'm guessing with all the kids you have running around, you wouldn't mind having another with me, would you?
01:08:39Miss Benson, you are as bold as the gossip says.
01:08:43Perhaps we will have some fun together down the line.
01:08:46Though I could never keep up with your wild side, Mr Jenkins.
01:08:49Let's just stick to our separate lives, hmm?
01:08:55So that's why you're leaving me.
01:09:04Boss, the engagement parties for the Jenkins and Benson families are scheduled for next week.
01:09:10Also, I've checked the hospital records.
01:09:13Miss Benson is four weeks pregnant.
01:09:19She's carrying my baby.
01:09:21She's carrying my baby.
01:09:23I need to marry someone else.
01:09:38Mr Jenkins and Miss Benson, you two are perfect together. Here's to you both.
01:09:43Thank you, Miss Reyes.
01:09:47Miss Flores, this is another one of your business contacts.
01:09:50She is. And more than just business.
01:09:54You really know how to take advantage of every opportunity.
01:09:58I've also invited Mr Palmer. You know him, right?
01:10:02Elliot Palmer. Yes, he's perfect.
01:10:05How can you say that? If he actually turns up, it won't just be an honour, it would make working with other companies a breeze.
01:10:12Don't get your hopes up. Elliot's the richest guy around. He doesn't show up to just any party.
01:10:17Kathleen, remind me. Who was it that upset Mrs Palmer and got thrown out of her restaurant?
01:10:23Oh, also pretended to be part of the family.
01:10:26If Elliot doesn't show up, it's because you upset Mrs Palmer.
01:10:30So what? Let me tell you something.
01:10:33If you think Elliot's showing up to this party, you're dreaming.
01:10:36If you think Elliot's showing up to this party, you're dreaming.
01:10:40Why don't you take a look at yourself and see if you're even worth it?
01:10:48Mr Jenkins, Miss Pinson, Mr Palmer is here.
01:11:07Mr Palmer, I didn't expect to see you.
01:11:11Elliot? Is he the Palmer Elliot?
01:11:17Don't be frozen, dear. Say hello to Mr Palmer.
01:11:20Mr Palmer, hello.
01:11:22Miss Pinson, I'm surprised to hear about your engagement.
01:11:28Mr Palmer, hello.
01:11:30Miss Pinson, I'm surprised to hear about your engagement.
01:11:36I had to see it for myself.
01:11:38Wait, wait. So, Mr Palmer, Claire, you two know each other?
01:11:41Well, that is great. Honey, where did you learn it?
01:11:44Honey, you're ready.
01:11:48We've run into each other a couple of times. For business. I wouldn't say we're close.
01:11:55Well, it is an honour to have you here, Mr Palmer. It really does mean a lot.
01:11:59Is the Palmer Group involved with the Jenkins family business?
01:12:03Yes. What a fantastic memory you have, Mr Palmer.
01:12:06Yes, that's a project we started working on eight months ago.
01:12:10And I'm managing that one personally.
01:12:12Okay, good.
01:12:15Well, how about we end that partnership here?
01:12:19Excuse me? What did you say?
01:12:22The Palmer Group is cutting ties with the Jenkins family immediately. No future deals.
01:12:27Can you at least tell me why? What did I do wrong? I can fix this.
01:12:31Wrong? Well, you should probably talk to your fiancé about that.
01:12:38What have you done to upset Mr Palmer? Apologise at once.
01:12:43I misunderstood the situation. I see that now. Please don't hold it against me.
01:12:48Don't hold it against you? But you think this sorry excuse for an apology will fix this?
01:12:55There's not one for words. Don't take it personally, Mr Palmer.
01:12:58If there's anything that we can do to set it right, just let us know. We'll do our best to fix this.
01:13:04Okay. Fine.
01:13:10If you're truly sorry...
01:13:16We'll drink these. Then maybe I'll consider forgiving you.
01:13:21Just do as Mr Palmer says.
01:13:24I'm pregnant. I can't drink.
01:13:27So what? You want to stop the Benson Group from going under, I need you to cooperate.
01:13:37Mr Palmer, I raise my glass to you.
01:13:44You'd risk your baby's life for this clown.
01:13:47How did you know? I wish I'd known sooner.
01:13:50What is going on here? What's happening between the two of you?
01:13:53No, nothing is going on.
01:13:55Then whose baby is it?
01:14:03Fine. If you won't say it, I will.
01:14:07Liam, your future is in my hands.
01:14:11Liam, your future wife is the mother of my child.
01:14:19Wow, can you believe it? The Benson's daughter is pregnant with Mr Palmer's baby.
01:14:23And is about to marry into the Jenkins family. This is such a disaster.
01:14:27Is Mr Palmer here to stop the wedding?
01:14:30What is the Benson family thinking?
01:14:32Anyone with any sense would pick the Palmers over the Jenkins.
01:14:42Claire, why are you always the lucky one?
01:14:49Wait, what do you really want? Is it fun for you to mess with me like this?
01:14:54Messing with you? You're the one messing with me.
01:14:58Can't I just say I was wrong and go, I mean, give me a break, just let me leave.
01:15:02Let you leave? Sorry, do you really think Liam will still marry you if you go back now?
01:15:06If you went out marrying Liam, do you think I'll just back off from the Jenkins and Benson families?
01:15:10I'm doing what I must, don't interfere.
01:15:13You won't marry Liam because you want to rescue the...
01:15:15Yes, so what if I am?
01:15:17Well, if it's about saving the Benson group, I can help with that.
01:15:20What do you mean by that?
01:15:22Claire, I can help rescue the Benson group from this mess, but you need to...
01:15:29I can help rescue the Benson group from this mess, but you need to...
01:15:35dump Liam and marry me.
01:15:41Marry you?
01:15:42You can't save the Benson group with Liam anymore. If you marry me, I can help you get through this whole mess.
01:15:51Elite, I want your help, but you have yet to show me your true colours.
01:15:55You just keep leading me on and now you want to marry me.
01:15:59What, am I supposed to just jump at whatever you say?
01:16:02No, that's not what I meant.
01:16:05But this child should have a father too.
01:16:08Let me tell you, I don't care who the dad is. I never wanted a father from the start.
01:16:12This is just a big misunderstanding and you know why I was choosing a guy for Hull.
01:16:17This is just a big misunderstanding and you know why I was choosing a guy for Hull.
01:16:20Don't flatter yourself!
01:16:28So everything we had meant nothing to you?
01:16:35Fine.
01:16:38Whatever.
01:16:41Why can't I just say what I feel? Why do I always end up fighting with him?
01:16:54Mrs Palmer!
01:16:56Claire.
01:16:58I know everything about you and Elliot.
01:17:01From the moment I first set eyes on you, I've been wishing that you were dead.
01:17:06From the moment I first set eyes on you, I've been wishing that you and Elliot would be together.
01:17:12And I...
01:17:16Did you two have an argument?
01:17:21If you're feeling upset, just tell me and I'll take care of it.
01:17:27I said some really horrible things.
01:17:30We all have our moments.
01:17:33Don't stress about it.
01:17:43It's not a big deal. Just go inside and apologise.
01:17:49The person is here now. Whatever needs to be said has been said.
01:17:52I knew she was in trouble straight away.
01:17:54She thinks just because she's pregnant, she can behave however she wants.
01:17:59Pregnant? Are they talking about me?
01:18:03Is this what you think of me, Elliot? I was just trying to apologise.
01:18:11What do you think our next move should be?
01:18:13I think we should keep it on the wraps for now and just tell Claire about it.
01:18:17You won't say it, but I know inside you're still cheering for Claire.
01:18:22You could cheer for her.
01:18:26Grandfather, I'm sorry for ruining the engagement party.
01:18:32There's no need to be sorry.
01:18:34I just want you to be happy and marry someone you truly love.
01:18:41Claire, you've been messing with us the whole time.
01:18:45Mr Palmer can totally save the Benson Group.
01:18:48You didn't need Liam for that.
01:18:51Elliot is already putting money into the Benson Group.
01:18:56When did that happen? He didn't tell me that.
01:18:59And he's also going to have a look at our financial details.
01:19:06Cathy, are you okay?
01:19:14I'm okay.
01:19:15Now you two are pregnant.
01:19:18I'm really looking forward to seeing my grandchildren.
01:19:33Claire, I know that we've had our misunderstandings,
01:19:38but I just really want to say today in front of Grandpa that I really am sorry.
01:19:48There you are, Claire.
01:19:50You two should be watching each other's backs.
01:19:55What did you do?
01:19:59There's something I need to show you.
01:20:02There you are, Claire.
01:20:04Have a look.
01:20:05There you are.
01:20:16Just tell me what you want to show me.
01:20:19What I need to show you is...
01:20:27Elliot! Elliot!
01:20:29Now it's your turn to pay.
01:20:36Grandma, where's Claire?
01:20:38Claire had something to do and went home.
01:20:42I'll go and look for her.
01:20:46Elliot still cares about Claire.
01:20:49Kathleen, what kind of crazy is this?
01:20:52I think it's all your fault, Claire.
01:20:55I was supposed to inherit the Benson family business,
01:20:59and I was meant to marry into the Palmer family.
01:21:03You've fucked up my whole life!
01:21:05Kathleen, you brought that on yourself.
01:21:07How is any of this my fault?
01:21:09If you hadn't gone in the way...
01:21:13Kathleen, let me out of here!
01:21:15You can't just keep me in here!
01:21:17What's the rush?
01:21:19We're just getting started.
01:21:21What?
01:21:27Open the door. Open the door. Open the door.
01:21:30Who'd have thought that the great Miss Benson would be scared of the dark?
01:21:35I'd love to see your face right now.
01:21:37He's shaking in fear.
01:21:41Kathleen, don't take this too far.
01:21:44If Grandpa finds out...
01:21:46Then I'll just make sure that he doesn't find out.
01:21:49Aren't you the one who's always so amazing?
01:21:52Don't you just love to be the centre of attention?
01:21:55Do people know that you can be this pathetic?
01:22:02There's no-one that will protect you.
01:22:09I will.
01:22:14Elliot!
01:22:17Stop dreaming!
01:22:19You still think he's coming to rescue you?
01:22:22Just give me the family inheritance and I'll think about letting you out.
01:22:36What's wrong with you?
01:22:40Eh, don't worry.
01:22:47Kathleen, if anything's happened to Claire or the baby, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
01:23:01Oh, my baby!
01:23:07What's going on here?
01:23:09Lee, what's happening?
01:23:12I was just trying to make up with my sister.
01:23:15She said that she's the only one that loves the inheritance.
01:23:20And then she knocked me down.
01:23:23How could you be so cruel?
01:23:25What if something happened to your sister and the baby?
01:23:27No, no, it wasn't my fault. It was her fault.
01:23:30Mum, Grandpa, is the baby going to be okay?
01:23:35Claire just really wants the family business.
01:23:38I'll love myself as long as she lets me and my baby be safe.
01:23:42Claire, when will this stop?
01:23:44Tom, you saw what happened.
01:23:46You have to stop this madness.
01:23:48I can't believe this.
01:23:50Steps out now.
01:23:57What is it you find so amusing, Mr Palmer?
01:24:00I'm just admiring Kathleen's little formance.
01:24:04How can you lose a baby when you're not even pregnant?
01:24:09What do you mean she's not pregnant?
01:24:13I'll give you proof.
01:24:15Sandra!
01:24:19What is this scammer doing here?
01:24:22Kathleen, there's only 30 grand left in this account.
01:24:24How do I possibly pay off my debts with only that?
01:24:27Sandra, what's going on?
01:24:30Kathleen says she's pregnant.
01:24:32Is that true?
01:24:34Having a baby? Kathleen can't even have kids.
01:24:36The whole pregnancy thing was just a bloody trick to grab control of the Benson Group.
01:24:40Sandra!
01:24:42Grandpa, how can you believe this liar?
01:24:45It was a trilogy.
01:24:47Exactly. Kathleen can't even have babies.
01:24:49And she knows exactly what's going on with the Benson family's money, don't you?
01:24:54What does the Benson Group have to do with Kathleen?
01:24:58Has it been Kathleen's plan all along?
01:25:00Tom, your beloved granddaughter,
01:25:02she's been trading money from the Benson Company all along.
01:25:05Kathleen?
01:25:07I'm disgusted at you.
01:25:10I can't have a child.
01:25:13You said that whoever had a child first would get the business.
01:25:18What am I supposed to do?
01:25:21That's enough.
01:25:24Miss Kathleen Burson, you're coming with us.
01:25:29Mommy, no!
01:25:31Mommy!
01:25:40Sweetheart, I've heard it all.
01:25:44How do you feel? Are you okay?
01:25:46Yeah, I feel shaken up, but I'm fine.
01:25:49Well, don't stress. Kathleen's already locked up.
01:25:53She can't hurt you anymore.
01:25:55I knew it. There's definitely something going on between Claire and Elliot.
01:26:00Yes. Yes, you were right.
01:26:03When Elliot turns up, if he doesn't treat you right, I'll make sure he does.
01:26:11What are you waiting for? An invitation?
01:26:14Look, I get that you're mad at me, and you don't want to hear my apology,
01:26:18but I need to say I'm sorry.
01:26:21Is that all? You have nothing else you want to say to me?
01:26:25Wait, do you mean to say I'm sorry?
01:26:29No.
01:26:31No?
01:26:33No.
01:26:35No.
01:26:37I need to leave.
01:26:39Wait, what do you mean?
01:26:41Well, I think every kid deserves a dad, so if you're not up for it...
01:26:44I'm going to be the best dad in the world.
01:27:01Hey, everyone, give her some space. Give her some space.
01:27:05How did you get engaged but then broke it off with Mr Jenkins? What's going on?
01:27:08Miss Benson, the Benson Group was on the verge of collapse but then bounced back overnight.
01:27:12How did that happen?
01:27:13There are rumours that your sister has been arrested. Do you have anything to say about that?
01:27:17Come on, guys, keep the questions relevant.
01:27:21I'm here today for one important announcement.
01:27:24Starting now, I am the CEO of the Benson Group.
01:27:27I'll work hard to restore the Benson Group's business to what it used to be.
01:27:30There are rumours that Mr Benson has really strict rules about his inheritance.
01:27:34How did you meet those requirements?
01:27:36What's your connection with Elliot Palmer, the CEO of Palmer Group?
01:27:39Oh, that's the other bit of information I wanted to share.
01:27:46Is that Elliot Palmer?
01:27:48The one who never shows up in public?
01:27:50Let me introduce you to him.
01:27:52This is my husband.
01:27:56And the father of my child.
01:28:05Elliot Palmer
01:28:23From now on, I'll protect you.
