00:00I now pronounce you, husband and wife, you may kiss the bride.
00:16Emma, you've had way too much.
00:18To you, bride.
00:20To love.
00:22And to my asshole ex, who dumped me via text today.
00:28Daniel is garbage. You deserve better.
00:32I'm fine. Go take care of your husband. Don't worry about me.
00:40Wow. You're really pretty. Are you an angel?
00:44You're drunk.
00:45You know what? Today, my best friend got married. And me got dumped.
00:5028, broke, single. My life sucks. I'm gonna do something crazy.
00:55You, come with me to that neon church.
00:58You're asking a stranger to marry you?
01:00So what? We'll divorce tomorrow. It's Vegas. Marriage here is like, like hotel breakfast buffet. Eat and leave.
01:05I now pronounce you, husband and wife, you may kiss the bride.
01:15Hmm?
01:20Can you stop screaming? My head is killing me.
01:25Who are you?
01:27What do we do?
01:29Marriage certificate.
01:31We got married last night.
01:33No, no, no, no.
01:34This can't be. I couldn't have...
01:42Oh my God, you're...
01:44You're that billionaire?
01:52Emma, are you insane?
01:54You married Alexander.
01:55It's all over the internet.
01:57You stole my wedding's trending spot.
01:59Rachel, I don't remember...
02:00I don't remember anything.
02:02Wait.
02:03Wait.
02:04You don't remember?
02:05That means you might not have consummated it.
02:07This marriage can be up real.
02:08Don't bother.
02:09Nevada marriage law doesn't require consummation.
02:11This certificate is completely legal.
02:13Then we divorce.
02:14Now.
02:15Immediately.
02:16Right away.
02:17You think I don't want that?
02:18James, prepare divorce papers.
02:20Yes, you heard me right.
02:21I need to be divorced within 48 hours.
02:24Alexander, I saw the news.
02:26Explain to me, who is this woman?
02:31I must inform you, since your wedding video has gone viral,
02:35the divorce process will be complicated.
02:37Media attention is too high.
02:39Any move will affect stock prices.
02:41So what?
02:42How long am I going to be trapped in this marriage?
02:45If we follow normal procedures, plus the cooling off period, roughly...
02:49Get out.
02:52Excuse me?
02:53You can't hear this call.
02:54Go wait outside.
03:00Grandmother, I can explain.
03:01No, it's not what you...
03:01Alexander, I gave you chances.
03:04Three years, you never brought any woman home.
03:06Now you got drunk and married in Vegas?
03:08Where does that leave the Gray family's reputation?
03:11It was just an accident.
03:12I don't care if it was an accident.
03:14The board has decided.
03:15In three months, I will hand over the company to the married heir.
03:18You or Victor, whoever has a stable marriage first, takes over.
03:23Eamesdropping isn't a good habit, sister-in-law.
03:25I'm Victor Gray, Alexander's cousin.
03:27Welcome to the Gray family.
03:28Who you are doesn't matter.
03:30What's between me and your cousin is none of your business.
03:32Though I'm curious how long you'll last.
03:34Careful, little editor.
03:35The Gray family waters are deeper than you think.
03:39We need to talk.
03:41So, let me get this straight.
03:43Your grandmother wants you to prove a stable marriage in three months,
03:46or she'll give the company to your obviously not-a-good-person cousin?
03:49Concise and accurate.
03:51What does that have to do with me?
03:53We divorce, you find someone else to fake marry?
03:55Problem solved.
03:56You think I haven't thought of that?
03:57Problem is, our wedding video has gone viral.
04:00If I divorce now and remarry immediately, what will the media write?
04:04Gray Aaron marries twice in one week?
04:06The stock will crash.
04:08So, I have a proposal.
04:10Pretend to be in love for three months.
04:11Help me stabilize the situation.
04:13After three months, we divorced peacefully.
04:14In return, $5 million, a clean divorce agreement, and a confidential clause.
04:18Are you insane?
04:19You want me to pretend to be your wife?
04:21With someone I don't even know?
04:22Do you have a better option?
04:23Your current identity is billionaire's mystery wife.
04:26The media is digging into you.
04:27Your little apartment near the publishing house is probably surrounded by paparazzi by now.
04:32Emma.
04:32Hello?
04:33The company just had a meeting about your situation.
04:35Given the media attention caused by your personal life,
04:38we feel you're no longer suitable to continue working here.
04:40Your position will be filled by someone else starting today.
04:43Please come handle your termination procedures.
04:45I got fired.
04:46Looks like you don't have many choices now.
04:49Sign.
04:51From now on, you are Emma Gray.
04:55Three months, not one day more.
04:57Welcome to the Gray family, Mrs. Gray.
05:00Calm down, Emma.
05:02It's just three months.
05:03You can do this.
05:09Howard, take her to the guest room.
05:11Have the stylist come tomorrow.
05:13Guest room?
05:13Aren't we supposed to pretend to be married?
05:16Pretending is for outsiders.
05:18There are no outsiders here.
05:19This way, madam.
05:24If you needed anything, press the call button by the bed.
05:26Dinner is at seven.
05:27Mr. Gray usually dines alone.
05:28I understand.
05:32Oh my god!
05:33This is your room?
05:34It's bigger than my entire apartment.
05:35Yeah, my prison cell.
05:37Deluxe edition.
05:38Come on, Emma.
05:39You married a billionaire.
05:41This is what so many girls dream of.
05:42A billionaire who won't even look at me properly.
05:44He just threw me a black card and a no-loud-talking public.
05:47I'm posting unapproved content on social media.
05:49Maintain appropriate physical distance from Mr. Gray.
05:52Am I a wife or an employee?
05:53Look on the bright side.
05:54At least you have five million.
05:57There's a family dinner tomorrow.
05:59Don't embarrass me.
06:02Three months.
06:04Only three months.
06:07Mrs. Emma Gray, I'm Vivian, Mr. Gray's personal etiquette consulter.
06:12Starting today, I'm in charge of your training.
06:15Now?
06:16What time is it?
06:176.30.
06:19Ladies of high society never oversleep.
06:21Please assemble in the living room in 10 minutes.
06:26The outmost is the appetizer fork, then fish fork, meat fork, salad fork, dessert fork.
06:32Remember, always work from outside in.
06:35Um, I have a question.
06:36What if I accidentally use the wrong one?
06:38Will I be executed?
06:40Let's begin practice.
06:47Mrs. Gray, I heard you used to be a little editor?
06:51Yes, I worked in publishing.
06:53It was a valuable experience.
06:55Can you tell me your thoughts on Proust in search of lost time?
06:57Of course.
06:58But I am more curious.
07:00Do you prefer the delicacy of Swan's love or the boldness of Sodom and Gomorrah?
07:04After all, not everyone has the patience to finish those 3,000 pages.
07:07I'm an editor, ma'am.
07:08Reading is my job.
07:09Mr. Gray, I must admit, her etiquette does need work.
07:12But...
07:13But?
07:13Her reaction speed and verbal ability exceeded my expectations.
07:17If anyone tries to humiliate her with knowledge, she can fight back.
07:20She's smarter than you think.
07:25Madam, the elder Mrs. Gray has arrived early.
07:28She's already in the elevator.
07:29What?
07:30Wasn't it supposed to be tomorrow?
07:32The elder Mrs. Gray likes...
07:34surprise inspections.
07:41Where is Alexander?
07:43Mr. Gray is in the study.
07:44I'll go...
07:45No need.
07:45I'll see my new granddaughter-in-law for first.
07:50Hello, grandmother.
07:51I'm Emma.
07:53I know who you are.
07:54The whole world knows who you are.
07:56The woman who married my grandson in a Vegas midnight chapel.
08:01Tell me, Emma, why did you marry Alexander?
08:05I...
08:05Don't say because of love.
08:06I've lived 78 years.
08:07I've heard too many lies.
08:08I only want the truth.
08:09The truth?
08:10The truth is, I was drunk.
08:11That night I had just been dumped.
08:13I drank too much tequila.
08:14Woke up married.
08:15I'm not some socialot.
08:16I was a bottom-level editor at a small publishing house in New York.
08:19Oh, was.
08:20My bank balance probably wouldn't cover your breakfast.
08:22So if you're asking what qualifies me to marry into the Gray family, probably nothing.
08:26Interesting.
08:27Come with me.
08:28This is me, 1968.
08:29My father was a postman from Brooklyn.
08:31When I married into the Gray family, everyone called me a fraud, a gold digger.
08:34I am watching you not because I don't trust you.
08:36It is because I know how cruel this family can be.
08:39Don't let them break you, Emma.
08:41Remember, talk less, smile more.
08:44You think I want to talk?
08:46I'm so nervous my smile is about to freeze.
08:52Sister-in-law, finally we meet.
08:55Victor.
08:56Christina.
08:58Emma, your dress is so unique.
09:02Where did you get it?
09:03I don't think I've seen this brand.
09:05Alexander's stylist recommended it.
09:07Oh, really?
09:08No wonder it looks a bit, how should I put it, like it's trying to imitate something.
09:11Everyone, let me introduce you.
09:13This is Alexander's new bride, Emma O'Gray now.
09:15She used to be an editor.
09:16Very talented.
09:17But I'm just curious, Sister Rudy, did you graduate from?
09:19Christina and I are both Harvard alumni.
09:21We always feel academic background is so important, don't you think?
09:23I graduated from State University of New York.
09:25English literature.
09:27Speaking of academics, Victor, I'm reminded of a saying, non scola det viva deceum.
09:32What?
09:32We learn not for school, but for life.
09:34Seneca said it.
09:36Harvard's motto should have taught this too.
09:38Sister-in-law is indeed well-read in.
09:41Excuse us.
09:44Seneca?
09:45I'm a literature editor.
09:47Latin quotes are basic skills.
09:52Emma!
09:53Welcome!
09:53Come sit next to me!
09:54I heard you used to work at a publishing house.
09:56That must have been hard, dealing with books all day.
09:58And the pay isn't great either, right?
10:00I heard an editor's annual salary couldn't even buy my bag.
10:03It wasn't.
10:03But I loved the job.
10:05So touching.
10:06But tell me, how did you meet Alexander?
10:08I heard it was at a bar in Vegas?
10:10At a wedding.
10:11A friend's wedding.
10:12Oh.
10:12And you just fell in love at first sight?
10:15Don't you think that story sounds a bit too fairy tale?
10:18What's wrong with fairy tales?
10:20At least Cinderella ended up better than the Wicked Stepsters.
10:23Well said.
10:24Here, a toast to you.
10:26Welcome to our circle.
10:28Ah!
10:30Oh my god, I'm so clumsy!
10:32It's okay.
10:33Accidents happen.
10:34Speaking of which, Blair, your makeup today is really exquisite.
10:38Oh!
10:38Oh my god!
10:40I'm so clumsy!
10:41Blair, I'm so sorry!
10:43You!
10:45Accidents happen.
10:46That's what you said, right?
10:47I'm so sorry.
10:52Madam, the elder Mrs. Gray requests your presence.
11:01Come in.
11:05Sit down, Emma.
11:09I heard about what happened at today's luncheon.
11:12Grandmother, I know I shouldn't have...
11:15Teramisu?
11:17You used Teramisu?
11:21Uh, yes.
11:22I used lobster bisque.
11:23My first year married into the Gray family.
11:26Those socialists used every trick to humiliate me.
11:28I endured for three whole months.
11:30Then what?
11:31Then I accidentally poured a whole bowl of scalding lobster bisque on her Chanel suit.
11:34She never said another word to me.
11:36Emma, listen to me.
11:37When I said I'd be watching, I meant it.
11:38But I'm not watching you.
11:39I'm watching those in this family who want to destroy you.
11:41Blair and her friends are Victor's people.
11:42They attack you to benefit Victor.
11:44Your counterattack today was good.
11:46Grandmother, I'll try my best.
11:51Keep up.
11:52Don't touch anything.
11:53I'm not a child.
12:03Mr. Gray, the 10 o'clock meeting is ready.
12:05Also, shall I prepare anything for Mrs. Gray?
12:09Find her somewhere to sit.
12:10Keep her out of the way.
12:20Please wait here, Mrs. Gray.
12:21The meeting will be about two hours.
12:26Miss Helen, how long have you worked at Gray Corp?
12:3015 years.
12:32Then you must know Alexander very well.
12:34Mr. Gray is the hardest working person I've ever seen.
12:36He works 16 hours a day, barely has a personal life.
12:39He doesn't mean to be cold to you, Mrs. Gray.
12:41He just doesn't know how to be close to people.
12:43But I've never seen him bring anyone to the office.
12:45You're the first.
13:00You're still awake?
13:02Can't sleep.
13:05Can't sleep.
13:14Why?
13:16Why what?
13:17Why are you always so cold?
13:18To everyone, like there's a wall.
13:21Because walls are safe.
13:28Do you know how my parents died?
13:30I was 12.
13:32They were going to my piano recital.
13:34There was a car accident on the way.
13:36The driver was bribed by Victor's father.
13:39You ask why I fight for this position?
13:41Why can't I let Victor win?
13:42Because if I lose, their deaths will have meant nothing.
13:48Alexander.
13:48You don't need to pity me.
13:49This is just a deal.
13:51After three months, you take your money.
13:52I take my company.
13:53We're even.
13:56Today, thanks for coming to the office.
14:01Remember, look loving.
14:02Hold hands, eye contact, smiles.
14:04Tomorrow's headline needs to be sweet date for the greys,
14:06not shotgun marriage couple like strangers.
14:14So, we're pretending to be on a date?
14:16Just think of it as acting.
14:18You should be good at this.
14:20Didn't you study literature?
14:21Studying literature doesn't mean I can act.
14:24Hold hands.
14:26Hold hands.
14:26Hold hands.
14:29What would you like?
14:31Latte.
14:32Double shot.
14:34Double?
14:36Since marrying you, I need more caffeine to survive.
14:40You're more interesting than I expected.
14:44Is that a compliment?
14:47Statement of fact.
14:48You really played piano as a kid?
14:50Yes.
14:51Before ten, I wanted to be a pianist.
14:53What happened?
14:53Then I realized dreams don't solve anything.
14:57Do you still play?
14:59Haven't touched it in a long time.
15:01Don't move.
15:02There's another one.
15:06Victor, I heard you're working on a big deal recently.
15:09Yes, grandmother.
15:10A port project in Southeast Asia.
15:12If successful, it could bring at least a billion to the company.
15:16Victor really has a business mind.
15:18He always sees opportunities others miss.
15:20Alexander, what do you think of this project?
15:22The project has potential, but from what I know, the local government is investigating corruption in the partner company.
15:28If the investigation proves true, the entire investment could be lost.
15:32Cousin is always so cautious, but business always has risks, doesn't it?
15:36Risk and foolishness are two different things.
15:39I heard you used to be an editor.
15:41You must have read a lot.
15:42What are you reading lately?
15:43Rereading Jane Austen lately.
15:45Oh, Jane Austen.
15:46I love her withering hovens.
15:48Christina, Weathering Heights was written by Emily Brontet.
15:51Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility.
15:55I know that, of course.
15:56I was just...
15:58Christina's too busy to read those old books.
16:00Yes.
16:00After all, shopping and beauty treatments take time, too.
16:03Tonight's dinner has been interesting.
16:05Emma, do you have any plans lately?
16:07I'm thinking of doing something meaningful.
16:10Maybe start writing again or get involved in some cultural projects.
16:14Good.
16:14A woman with ideas is worth much more than one who only knows how to spend money.
16:20Sister-in-law, so late, all alone?
16:26Victor, can I help you?
16:31I just wanted to talk privately.
16:34You know, sister-in-law, I've been wondering what you're really after.
16:37You're not the shallow type attracted to billionaires.
16:39Not the social climbing type, either.
16:41So, there must be a secret between you and Alexander.
16:44I don't know what you're talking about.
16:46Really?
16:46Then you should know.
16:47My people are everywhere.
16:48Every conversation, every glance between you, nothing escapes my eyes.
16:52I'll give you a chance, sister-in-law.
16:54Leave Alexander.
16:56I can give you double the money, ten million.
16:58Enough for the rest of your life.
17:01Never.
17:02Are you sure?
17:04Do you know what happens to people who cross me?
17:06Think about it, sister-in-law.
17:07My patience is limited.
17:11Hello?
17:12Mrs. Gray, I have some information about Victor Gray.
17:14You might be interested.
17:15Who is this?
17:16Who doesn't matter?
17:17What matters is Victor is more dangerous than you think.
17:19He doesn't just want the company.
17:20He has other secrets.
17:22What secrets?
17:23About Alexander's parents' car accident.
17:25It wasn't an accident.
17:26And Victor has the evidence.
17:28What's wrong?
17:31What happened?
17:32Tell me.
17:33I'll give you a chance, sister-in-law.
17:36Leave Alexander.
17:37I can give you double the money, ten million.
17:40Enough for the rest of your life.
17:43Never.
17:44Did Victor touch you?
17:46No.
17:48But...
17:49If he dares come near you, I'll make him pay.
17:54Alexander, what the caller said, is it true?
17:56Your parents' accident?
17:58I've investigated for years.
18:00The evidence chain is broken, never enough to convict.
18:02But I've always known Victor's father was involved.
18:04Now, Victor inherited everything from his father, including those secrets.
18:08You've been investigating this all along?
18:10It's one of the reasons I'm still alive.
18:13I don't know who made that call.
18:15Could be Victor's people testing you, or his enemies trying to use you.
18:18Either way, you're in danger now.
18:20What should I do?
18:22The safest way is to leave now.
18:24Take the money, disappear, forget all of this.
18:26You want me to go?
18:29I'm not leaving?
18:30I can't leave at a time like this.
18:31You know how dangerous this is.
18:32You said this was a deal, but it's not just about money.
18:35You helped me escape the paparazzi and unemployment.
18:37Now it's my turn to help you.
18:38We're in this together, at least for these three months.
18:40You're foolish.
18:41I know.
18:50Tonight, many people will test you.
18:51Stay calm.
18:54Don't worry.
18:55I'm used to it.
19:00Emma!
19:01Long time no see!
19:02I heard you've been busy?
19:03Yes.
19:04Learning how to be a proper Mrs. Gray.
19:06Speaking of which, there's a tradition tonight.
19:08At the annual gala, the matriarchs of each family give speeches about their charity projects.
19:13The Gray family is no exception, of course.
19:14Oh my, you didn't know?
19:16As Mrs. Gray, you should represent the family on stage.
19:21Unless you don't feel ready?
19:25Of course I'm ready.
19:27Good evening.
19:28I'm Emma Gray.
19:29I know what you're thinking.
19:30Who is this woman?
19:31Why is she standing here?
19:32Last month, she was just a nobody editor.
19:34You're right.
19:34I wasn't born with a silver spoon.
19:36I don't understand centuries-old family traditions.
19:38I don't know half the people in this room.
19:40But I know one thing.
19:41Charity isn't about competing who donates more, whose name is on a bigger plaque.
19:44It's about truly helping those who need help.
19:46Tonight, I pledge on behalf of the Gray family, we will build ten libraries in underprivileged areas.
19:51Not for fame, but because I believe a book can change a child's destiny.
19:55Just as books once changed mine.
19:57You didn't tell me about the libraries beforehand.
20:00Thought of it on the spot.
20:01It's your money anyway.
20:03Quite bold.
20:05Learned from you.
20:21What are you doing here?
20:23Couldn't sleep.
20:24You?
20:25Heard a sound.
20:29Is this the piano from your childhood?
20:31My mother taught me to play.
20:33She said music could heal everything.
20:40Will you play something for me?
20:54You play beautifully.
21:00Haven't played in a long time.
21:02Tonight, I suddenly wanted to.
21:05Why?
21:10Alexander.
21:16I shouldn't have done that.
21:18Neither should I.
21:22Shock.
21:22The Gray couple's marriage is in doubt.
21:24An insider revealed that the flat's actually a business deal.
21:26I don't want to comment on my cousin's personal affairs, but as a family member,
21:29I feel responsible to remind the public Gray Corp's leader should be someone with integrity,
21:34not someone who deceives the public with a fake marriage.
21:37Mr. Victor, do you have evidence?
21:38I'm just raising questions.
21:40I hope my cousin can respond personally.
21:43Emma!
21:43The news!
21:44Did you see it?
21:45I saw it.
21:47What do we do?
21:47This is Victor's doing, right?
21:50Does he have evidence?
21:59We need to talk.
22:01How did Victor find out?
22:02Did he plan to spy?
22:03Still investigating.
22:05But the biggest problem now is we need to prove this marriage is real.
22:11How?
22:12There's a live interview tonight.
22:14We're going on together.
22:17Live?
22:18Are you crazy?
22:19I can't act.
22:21What if we slip up?
22:22Then don't act.
22:27What do you mean?
22:28Last night, in the piano room, that wasn't acting.
22:33Everything between us doesn't need to be acted, because it's real.
22:37Are you saying?
22:39I'm saying maybe in this fake marriage, something has become real.
22:45Mr. Gray, Mrs. Gray, thank you for accepting this interview.
22:47Today's topic is sensitive.
22:49Some people question whether your marriage is a business arrangement rather than true love.
22:52How do you respond?
22:53Our marriage did come suddenly, but sudden doesn't mean unreal.
22:56Then tell us, how did you fall in love?
22:57A billionaire and an ordinary editor.
22:59Your world seemed completely different.
23:00You're right.
23:00Our worlds are completely different.
23:02In my world, everyone wants my money, my power, my status.
23:04Everyone who approaches me has an agenda.
23:06But Emma is different.
23:07When we first met, she was so drunk, she didn't even know who I was.
23:10She just was herself.
23:12Mrs. Gray, what about you?
23:13What did you think of Mr. Gray at the time?
23:15Honestly, at the time, I just thought he was good looking, like an angel.
23:19But later, I discovered he's not an angel.
23:21He works harder than anyone, is lonelier than anyone.
23:24He wraps up in coldness because he's afraid of losing again.
23:26I didn't marry him because he's a billionaire.
23:28It's because behind all his coldness, I saw someone who needs to be loved.
23:31It seems your feelings are real.
23:34So, what do you want to say to those who doubt you?
23:38I only want to say one thing.
23:40I love my wife.
23:42That's my only response.
23:44What you said just now, was it real?
23:47Or acting?
23:49What do you think?
23:54Answer me in three months.
24:13Mrs. Gray, your speech caused quite a response.
24:17Many employees are discussing the library project.
24:21Really?
24:22Some departments even organized book donation drives on their own.
24:25They said they want to contribute to your project.
24:29Come.
24:29There are some important people to meet.
24:36Sister-in-law.
24:37Long time no see.
24:39Congratulations.
24:39You acted so well.
24:41The whole world believed it.
24:42That wasn't acting.
24:43Is that so?
24:44Do you know why Alexander chose you?
24:45Because you're ordinary enough, plain enough, not a threat to him.
24:47You're just his tool, Emily.
24:49He'll throw you away when he's done.
24:50Are you done?
24:51I'm done.
24:51But remember my words.
24:52In three months, you'll know I was right.
25:03So, you're faking it till you make it now?
25:06I don't know.
25:09Come on.
25:09He said he loved you on TV.
25:13But that could have been acting.
25:14Maybe it was just to counter Victor.
25:16What about you?
25:17How do you feel about him?
25:20I...
25:20I'm not sure.
25:22Emma, listen to me.
25:23You've always protected yourself.
25:25Never trusting anyone easily.
25:27But sometimes, you need to take a risk.
25:30But what if I lose the bet?
25:31At least you'll have tried.
25:33That's better than hiding in your shell forever.
25:47So, you know, I was like, man, I'm going to get this thing fixed.
25:50Yeah, I'm going to get this thing fixed.
25:57You're back.
25:57Yes.
25:58Don't talk.
25:59Don't talk.
26:04The flowers.
26:06They're beautiful.
26:10Good night, Emma.
26:14Mrs. Gray, would you like some coffee?
26:16Thanks, but no.
26:17And just call me Emma.
26:21Mrs. Gray, thank you for coming.
26:27Who are you?
26:27What's the secret you mentioned?
26:30I can't tell you who I am.
26:32But this, you need to see.
26:36That accident wasn't an accident.
26:38Victor's father bribed the driver, but he wasn't the mastermind.
26:42The real person behind it is still inside the Gray family.
26:46What are you saying?
26:48That's all I can tell you.
26:50Be careful, Mrs. Gray.
26:51This family is more dangerous than you think.
26:58What are you doing here?
27:01Nothing.
27:02Just walking around.
27:05Let's go home.
27:12Not asleep yet.
27:15Can't sleep.
27:19Who did you meet in the parking lot today?
27:23How do you know?
27:26There are cameras in the parking lot.
27:28Someone gave me this.
27:30They said your parents' accident wasn't an accident.
27:33And the person behind it isn't just Victor's father.
27:39Why didn't you tell me first?
27:41I wasn't sure how to say it.
27:43You thought I'd suspect you?
27:45If there's no trust between us,
27:47this relationship has no meaning,
27:49whether it's fake or real.
27:50Alexander, wait!
27:51I don't distrust you.
27:52I'm just scared.
27:53Scared of what?
27:54Scared you think I'm using you.
27:56Scared you pushed me away after learning the truth.
27:58Scared my feelings for you are becoming real,
28:00and you only see me as a tool.
28:02Are you a fool?
28:02What?
28:03From now on, if anything happens, tell me first.
28:05We'll face it together.
28:09Mr. Gray.
28:10Mrs. Gray.
28:11Marcus, tell her everything you've found.
28:13Mr. Gray's parents died in a car accident 20 years ago.
28:15On the surface, it was an accident caused by the drunk driver.
28:18But my investigation shows the driver received a large transfer three days before the accident,
28:22from a secret account belonging to Victor's father.
28:24We already knew this.
28:25That mysterious woman said there was another mastermind.
28:27Correct. Victor's father was just the exec-executor,
28:31the person who truly planned everything.
28:33We still don't have solid evidence.
28:34But there is one suspect.
28:38Who?
28:40Impossible.
28:41She's Alexander's grandmother.
28:43I'm only saying she's a suspect, not a conclusion.
28:45When the accident happened, Mrs. Eleanor was fighting for control of the family.
28:49Alexander's father was her biggest competitor.
28:51After the accident, she smoothly became head of the family.
28:53Do you have evidence?
28:54It's only circumstantial evidence and speculation.
28:57To convict, we need more.
29:01Do you believe it?
29:04That your grandmother would...
29:06I don't know.
29:07But I have to find out.
29:09Whatever the truth is, I need to know.
29:14I'm with you.
29:19Alexander, how's the company been lately?
29:22Everything's going well.
29:24Victor's offensive has been blocked.
29:26Good.
29:28You're more capable than your father.
29:30Grandmother, you rarely mention my father.
29:33He was a good man, but too idealistic.
29:36In business, idealism is fatal.
29:39So his death, you think it was because he was too naive?
29:42What are you trying to say, Alexander?
29:45Nothing.
29:46Just suddenly remembered some old things.
29:49Let the past stay in the past.
29:51What matters most now is the future.
30:00Find anything interesting, child?
30:02I got lost and wandered in by accident.
30:05Is that so?
30:06You know, I most admire smart women.
30:09But smart women sometimes know too much, and that can bring them trouble.
30:17Some secrets are better buried forever.
30:19Do you understand what I mean?
30:22Good.
30:23Let's go.
30:24Alexandra is waiting.
30:39I'll go with you.
30:40No.
30:42She said she only wants to see me alone.
30:44If you show up, she might not talk.
30:46It's too dangerous.
30:47I'll be careful.
30:47Trust me.
30:48I'll wait nearby.
30:49If anything goes wrong, signal me immediately.
30:57Mrs. Gray, thank you for coming.
31:00Who are you?
31:01My name is Sophia.
31:02I'm Victor's half-sister.
31:05My father had many illegitimate children.
31:07I'm just one of them.
31:08Victor never acknowledged our existence.
31:10Why are you helping us?
31:12Because Victor ruined my life.
31:13My mother was abandoned by his father and died of a broken heart.
31:16I want revenge, and you're my best tools.
31:18This has records of Victor's secret accounts and evidence of his illegal dealings, enough
31:22to put him in prison.
31:23What about Eleanor?
31:23Was she really involved in planning the accident?
31:25I'm not sure.
31:26But I know one thing.
31:28Eleanor isn't as simple as she appears.
31:30For the family, she can sacrifice anyone, including her own son.
31:34Be careful, Mrs. Gray.
31:35The waters in this family are much deeper than you think.
31:43Everyone, today I'd like to show you some interesting materials.
31:48This is fabricated.
31:50This is slander.
31:52If it's fabricated, why are you so nervous?
31:57Mr. Victor Gray, we're from the FBI.
31:59You're suspected of money laundering and commercial fraud.
32:02Please cooperate with our investigation.
32:04You think you've won?
32:06This isn't over, Alexander.
32:08Eleanor won't let you go.
32:10Breaking news this afternoon.
32:11Former Mark Stone industry's CEO, Victor's been arrested by the FBI.
32:14What Victor said at the end, what do you think he meant?
32:16He's trying to drive a wedge between me and my grandmother.
32:21But if Eleanor really...
32:23I'll find out.
32:25But not now.
32:28Thank you for today.
32:31We're in this together, remember?
32:32Remember?
32:40Yes.
32:41Together.
32:47Alexander.
32:48You've won.
32:51Victor is finished.
32:53Grandmother, I have some questions for you.
32:55Ask.
32:56My parents' car accident.
32:59What do you know about it?
33:04You finally asked.
33:06I knew it was Victor's father who did it.
33:08But I didn't stop it because your father was going to sell the company to outsizers.
33:13He was too idealistic, not suited to lead this family.
33:17So you let my parents die?
33:19I didn't plan it.
33:19But I knew and didn't stop it.
33:22This is the greatest sin of my life.
33:25I thought I was doing it for the family.
33:27But I was wrong.
33:30I ruined your childhood, ruined your ability to trust.
33:35Alexander.
33:36I'm sorry.
33:49I'm sorry.
33:54Alexander.
34:00I always wanted to know the truth.
34:04But now that I know, I wish I'd never asked.
34:08One of my reasons for living was to avenge my parents.
34:11But now I find out the enemy is my grandmother.
34:14What am I supposed to do?
34:15Hate her?
34:16Forgive her?
34:22You don't have to decide now.
34:24Some wounds need time to heal.
34:32Emma.
34:34Three months are almost up.
34:37I know.
34:38Remember I said I'd have you answer me in three months?
34:42I remember.
34:44I've changed my mind.
34:46I don't want to wait three months.
34:48Emma Bennett, we started as an accident.
34:50An agreement.
34:51A deal.
34:51But now, I want to start over.
34:53Not because of the agreement.
34:55Not because of benefits.
34:56But because...
34:57I love you.
34:58Will you marry me?
34:59Really marry me?
35:00I already married you, idiot.
35:02You can make it.
35:05I'm not trying to make it.
35:06Influciousness.
35:06Ya, no you know, I don't know how much about it.
