00:00:02I've been this man's mistress for five years.
00:00:05I loved him, but he only saw me as a substitute.
00:00:08I don't regret it, because those five years of humility were the debt I owed him.
00:00:17Elena's back in the country. Just landed. You need to leave this villa.
00:00:22Now?
00:00:22Immediately. Clean up any trace of you having lived here. I don't want her to know you slept here.
00:00:28Okay.
00:00:30Elena is back. My days as the substitute are finally over. I'm finally free.
00:00:35In our freshman year, both Elena and I were poor students living on scholarships.
00:00:41But with that innocent face of hers, she became the goddess of every man on campus,
00:00:45including the heir to a top-tier family, Logan.
00:00:49Elena, come to the Grammy Awards with me. Seats like these aren't something you can just buy with money.
00:00:54Sorry, I need to go to the library to study. Mr. Logan,
00:00:57your money can buy everything, but it can't buy my respect.
00:01:05You're broke too, right? Help me win her over.
00:01:08If she falls for me, I'll fund you.
00:01:10I knew Elena was just playing hard to get, but my father was hospitalized,
00:01:12and I was even about to drop out of school because of it.
00:01:15So I desperately needed that money to save him. Deal.
00:01:18Elena got a top-clear university offer to Cambridge funded by Logan,
00:01:22and I, I became her substitute.
00:01:26Logan's caged canori.
00:01:31They think I've been discarded, that I'll become the laughing-ass dang of the world.
00:01:41Miss Ava, Lucas, the chief of Operation Liberty Finance,
00:01:43been waiting for you for three hours, ready to sign the contract with you.
00:02:09Ava, it's been five years, our CEO has been waiting for you to say yes.
00:02:14I'll book you a first-class ticket right now.
00:02:18All right, I'll head over now.
00:02:22Give me one more week. I still have some loose ends to tie up.
00:02:27You are a born queen of commerce.
00:02:29We await your leadership to make us a legend on Wall Street.
00:02:33Boss, great news. Ava signed.
00:02:36That genius girl who once ruled Wall Street is coming.
00:02:39Five years. I can finally see my light again.
00:02:49Ava, you're too slow.
00:02:50Can't you see Elena's hands are red from the shopping bags?
00:02:54Ava, I'm so sorry. These are just too heavy.
00:02:56I have to trouble you with them?
00:02:57It's no trouble at all. Happy to help.
00:03:00By the way, I found a woman's hair tie in Logan's bedroom.
00:03:03It wouldn't be yours, would it?
00:03:05Elena, don't talk nonsense.
00:03:07That was left by the cleaning staff.
00:03:09Ava moved out after you left.
00:03:11How could she possibly be in my bedroom?
00:03:13Just kidding. Look how nervous you are.
00:03:15Justing Remichin, Ava, go line up for that limited edition item for us. Hurry up.
00:03:20Ava, Elena is quite conservative.
00:03:23I don't want her to hear any gossip about these five years.
00:03:26Trying to boyfriend meaty so Aina won't suspect anything.
00:03:28Fine. I'll find a suitable divergent.
00:03:33His real princess has returned.
00:03:36It's time for this substitute to exit Eisrim, his world.
00:03:43Sorry, I just got off the phone with an international headhunter.
00:03:46All the big companies want to pojic me.
00:03:49Of course they do.
00:03:50Here, try this.
00:03:52It's all your favorites.
00:03:53Ava, why aren't you touching your cutlery?
00:03:56This seafood was flown in fresh.
00:03:57It's very expensive.
00:03:58I'm not hungry.
00:04:00Oh, I remember now.
00:04:01You're allergic to seafood?
00:04:03Logan, should we change restaurants?
00:04:04No need.
00:04:05She said she's not hungry.
00:04:07He knows perfectly well I'm allergic to seafood,
00:04:09and he knows Elena chose this place on purpose.
00:04:12It seems he doesn't care about my feelings at all.
00:04:14Ava, I invited a few old classmates tonight welcome Elena back.
00:04:18She missed your home-cooked meals.
00:04:19Go back to the villa tonight and prepare you a feast.
00:04:22All right.
00:04:23Logan, Ava is, after all, the group's executive president.
00:04:25Isn't it inappropriate to her cook like a maid?
00:04:27What's inappropriate about it?
00:04:29Everything she has today is thanks to my support.
00:04:31As long as I ask, she wouldn't dare say no.
00:04:34Right, Ava?
00:04:35Yes, Mr. Logan.
00:04:46Logan, are you serious?
00:04:49Ava's been with you for five years,
00:04:50and you're really going to kick her out?
00:04:52Who said I was in a relationship with her?
00:04:54She was just a stand-in for Elena.
00:04:57Don't show anything in front of Elena.
00:04:59She's proud.
00:05:00She knew I used Ava as a substitute.
00:05:01She did feel in salt.
00:05:02You're so devoted.
00:05:03You've had your eyes on Elena since college.
00:05:05But honestly, Ava is incredibly capable.
00:05:06Not only did she manage her company flawlessly,
00:05:08but she was also obedient in bed.
00:05:10Are you really willing to let her go?
00:05:11The passenger seat in my life is reserved only for a real princess.
00:05:15As for Ava, she's not worthy.
00:05:19Ava?
00:05:20What are you doing standing at the door with the fruit platter spacing out?
00:05:32Oh my god, was Ava at the door just now?
00:05:34Did she hear everything we said about her being cheap?
00:05:37So what if she did?
00:05:39Does she dare to get angry?
00:05:40Unless she wants to go back to the slums and beg for food.
00:05:45Mmm, so sweet.
00:05:46Logan, this personal assistant you keep really is better at cutting fruit than the hired help outside.
00:05:51Everyone thinks I'll break down, but I'm actually more cling-headed than anyone.
00:05:55In these five years, he never gave me love, and I, in turn, never truly gave him my heart.
00:06:01The fruit platter is ready. The main course will be served shortly.
00:06:05She clearly heard those words herds just now,
00:06:07wassting unless she have any reaction at all. Doesn't she care?
00:06:10Logan, we're partying here while the executive vice president is busy alone in the kitchen.
00:06:14Isn't that a bit too much?
00:06:16This is what she's supposed to do. Let's keep playing.
00:06:20Ava, you've worked hard. Come join us and eat.
00:06:25I'm not hungry. Enjoy yourselves.
00:06:29Don't mind her.
00:06:30Let's toast to celebrate Elena's return home.
00:06:33Elena, you're our goddess.
00:06:35This drink is to wish you a triumphant entry into the Vanderbilt Group upon your return and a brilliant future.
00:06:40I, I'm allergic to alcohol. I really can't drink something them strong.
00:06:44Old classmate, that's not very considerate, is it?
00:06:47You have to at least make a gesture.
00:06:49Elena is delicate and can't handle this kind of thing.
00:06:51Ava, come here and drink it for her.
00:06:54Fine.
00:07:03Logan, you're spoiling Elena too much.
00:07:06Anyone who toasts her, you make Ava take the hit?
00:07:09Ava has a high tolerance.
00:07:10A little of this strong liquor won't hurt her.
00:07:13Then I have to toast the goddess too.
00:07:14Ava, cheers?
00:07:15Everything is about to end.
00:07:17In these last few days with Logan, I won't refuse any requests you make.
00:07:24Ava, thank you for your hard work.
00:07:26I really wouldn't know what to do without you.
00:07:28So, even someone as arrogant and self-hortant as Logan can be tender-hearted.
00:07:32It's a pity that the one who helps in the proms will never be me.
00:07:40I don't like hearing those classmates linking you with Ava, even if she's just a substitute.
00:07:45Baby, my heart is yours.
00:07:47Ava is just our servant.
00:07:49You had a few glasses of champagne.
00:07:51Are you feeling dizzy?
00:07:53Don't be jealous for no reason.
00:07:54I've already declared to everyone that you are the future mistress of the group.
00:07:59I'll forgive you this time.
00:08:00Ava, you are really drunk.
00:08:02Let Logan drive you back to your apartment.
00:08:04No need.
00:08:05I can walk by myself.
00:08:06I have important business to attend to.
00:08:09Take a taxi yourself.
00:08:10Ava, don't make me think you can't even take care of yourself.
00:08:32Ava, didn't I tell you to find a man as a shield immediately?
00:08:35Why is there still no movement?
00:08:37I just finished being forced to drink by you, Mr. Logan.
00:08:40Don't play the victim with me.
00:08:44You're dragging your feet.
00:08:45Are you still holding on to some unrealistic fantasy about me?
00:08:52I didn't, Mr. Logan.
00:08:54Don't worry.
00:08:55I'll find one soon.
00:08:56Don't lie.
00:08:57Elena is starting to suspect us.
00:08:59I won't allow you to tarnish the pure love between her and me.
00:09:03Don't worry.
00:09:04One more week, and I'll disappear completely from your world.
00:09:08So eager to jump into someone else's arms.
00:09:11That shield better be a decent one.
00:09:13Don't embarrass me.
00:09:23You told me to find one?
00:09:25You're so obedient, it's disgusting.
00:09:29Logan, I miss you.
00:09:31Can I move into your villa tomorrow?
00:09:33Of course, baby.
00:09:34My room is always waiting for you.
00:09:39Pick me and Elena up at 8 tomorrow morning to go to the company.
00:09:45What are your plans after returning?
00:09:47Where do you want to go?
00:09:48I want to help you with the Vandeboe Group.
00:09:50I don't want to be just a freeloader.
00:09:52Good.
00:09:53I'll give you a surprise later.
00:09:56I want the whole world to know who the real mistress of this company is.
00:09:59Actually, I got a top-tier master's in finance abroad just to help you.
00:10:04We're here.
00:10:06Darling, it's my first day.
00:10:08We should keep our distance.
00:10:09I don't want people saying I got the job through connections.
00:10:11That wouldn't be noble.
00:10:12See?
00:10:13She's still as pure and independent as she was in college.
00:10:16Newman nowadays will do anything to climb the ladder.
00:10:18From assembled, Genro and her considered it.
00:10:21Maybe she's the only one.
00:10:22Notified the board.
00:10:23We're having an all-hands executive meeting in ten minutes.
00:10:26I have major per-personnel changes.
00:10:27All right.
00:10:28I'll take care of it right away.
00:10:33I heard there will be a major personnel announcement today.
00:10:36Ava doubled the company's performance,
00:10:37so she's definitely getting promoted to co-CEO at the headquarters.
00:10:40Naturally.
00:10:41Vanderbilt Group has relied entirely on Ava for the past five years.
00:10:44Based on merit, it has to be her.
00:10:45Ava, don't forget about us when you get promoted.
00:10:47Actually, I was just about to...
00:10:51Only one thing will be announced today.
00:10:54Regarding the appointment of the former executive vice president, Ava.
00:10:58Congratulations.
00:10:58Is Ava being transferred to the New York headquarters as CEO?
00:11:02No.
00:11:03I announce Ava is hereby relieved of her position as executive vice president
00:11:07and demoted to vice president's assistant.
00:11:11What?
00:11:11Demoted instead of promoted?
00:11:13To an assistant?
00:11:14Mr. Logan, Ava generated a billion dollars in profit for the company last year.
00:11:18And the person taking over the vice president position
00:11:20is a financial genius we just recruited from Cambridge, Miss Elena.
00:11:25Hello, everyone.
00:11:26Although I lack practical experience,
00:11:28I believe my international perspective is more suited to leading the company to a higher level.
00:11:32This is absurd.
00:11:33Replacing a meritorious vice president with an inexperienced rookie?
00:11:36Enough!
00:11:37Who is the master of this company?
00:11:38My word is the command.
00:11:40Ava,
00:11:41As an assistant,
00:11:43you'd better do your utmost to help Elena familiar herself with business.
00:11:46If she makes the slightest mistake,
00:11:48I'll hold you couple.
00:11:50Okay.
00:11:52Ava,
00:11:53are you crazy?
00:11:53This is too humiliating.
00:11:55I have never objected to Mr. Logan's decisions.
00:11:58Vice president Elena,
00:11:59please follow me to your office.
00:12:01Then I'll trouble you,
00:12:01assistant Ava.
00:12:03This is your office.
00:12:05Assistant Ava,
00:12:06there's a bit of dust on the tip of my shoe.
00:12:09Since you were so skilled at serving Logan before now,
00:12:12clean it for me too.
00:12:17Is Elena crazy?
00:12:18She's actually making Ava clean her shoes?
00:12:20This is a downright insult to her dignity.
00:12:22Don't be impulsive.
00:12:24Ava must have her reasons for doing this.
00:12:27Oh my god,
00:12:28Ava's really kneeling down to clean them?
00:12:30This is absurd.
00:12:32Ava,
00:12:32I'm warning you.
00:12:33Back then,
00:12:34it was because of me that Logan even gave you a second glance.
00:12:36Without me,
00:12:37you'd still be washing dishes in the slums.
00:12:39It's thanks to my face that you've climbed to where you are today.
00:12:42Does it hurt?
00:12:44Remember this feeling of lowiness.
00:12:45You're nothing but a dog I've graciously allowed to exist.
00:12:48Don't even think about overstepping your bounds,
00:12:50and don't you dare try to seduce my Logan.
00:12:53Don't worry,
00:12:54Elena.
00:12:55I'm very clear about my place in Mr. Logan's heart.
00:12:57I've never coveted things that don't belong to me.
00:12:59Stubborn words are useless.
00:13:02Honey,
00:13:02want to go see a movie tonight?
00:13:03There's a new project at Universal Studios.
00:13:05I'll wait for you.
00:13:06Okay,
00:13:07see you then.
00:13:08You,
00:13:08you already have a boyfriend?
00:13:09Logan,
00:13:10I have good news for you.
00:13:11Ava has a boyfriend.
00:13:12I thought she had a crush on you all along.
00:13:14It seems I was overthinking it.
00:13:15I think you've misunderstood.
00:13:16The relationship between me and President Logan
00:13:18is purely one of sponsorship and employment.
00:13:20I've never had any appropriate thoughts.
00:13:22For and over,
00:13:22I love my boyfriend very much.
00:13:24Damn it.
00:13:24I just told her last night to find a male companion,
00:13:26and she's already found one today.
00:13:28Is there really not an angle place for me in her heart?
00:13:30Perfect.
00:13:31In a few days,
00:13:32there's a company team building event
00:13:33to celebrate my appointment.
00:13:34Ava,
00:13:34bring your nonpoing along.
00:13:36Let's see you just talk stranding the man
00:13:37who chunker on an ore new jilling dren race.
00:13:39Yes,
00:13:40I'm also in curious.
00:13:41Ava,
00:13:41bring him long then.
00:13:42No problem.
00:13:43Mr. Logan,
00:13:44we have an appointment with Mr. Grant
00:13:45from Grant Financial Group
00:13:46to sign the contract.
00:13:47It's the most important order of the year.
00:13:49Elena,
00:13:49this deal is crucial for the company's IPO.
00:13:51We must secure it.
00:13:52Don't worry,
00:13:53darling.
00:13:53With my overseas background,
00:13:54I guarantee we'll nail the negotiation beautifully.
00:13:59Mr. Grant,
00:14:00this is Miss Elena.
00:14:00the company's new vice president.
00:14:02She is fully responsible
00:14:02for today's contract renewal negotiation.
00:14:04What?
00:14:05I remember Grant Financial's business
00:14:06has always been handled by you.
00:14:08Who is this administrative rookie?
00:14:09Mr. Grant,
00:14:10Ava is now just my assistant.
00:14:12The future of Vandert Group
00:14:13is controlled by elites like me
00:14:15with an international vision.
00:14:16Please sign.
00:14:17I hope your abilities are as impressive
00:14:19as your academic credentials.
00:14:20What are you looking at?
00:14:22Pervert!
00:14:22You're actually peeking at me!
00:14:24What nonsense are you talking about?
00:14:26I'm reading the 12th clause about compensating...
00:14:28Stop pretending!
00:14:29I've seen plenty of self-righteous men like you.
00:14:32It's disgusting!
00:14:33Don't think just because you're rich
00:14:34you can casually harass women.
00:14:36You dare hit me?
00:14:37I'm hitting you,
00:14:38you pervert!
00:14:39I'll use Logan's connections
00:14:40to ruin your reputation in New York!
00:14:41Vandert Group letting a paranoid lunark
00:14:43like this be vice president
00:14:44means bankruptcy is just around the corner.
00:14:46The deal is off
00:14:47and I will withdraw all funding
00:14:48from Grant Financial.
00:14:49Mr. Grant,
00:14:49this is a misunderstanding.
00:14:51Please let me explain.
00:14:52Ava, I pity you
00:14:53wasting your talent
00:14:54in this garbage dump.
00:14:55Vandert Group is finished.
00:14:58Elena,
00:14:58if you've destroyed
00:14:59companies most important changing...
00:15:01It's just some disgusting man
00:15:02who can't control his eyes.
00:15:03What's the big deal?
00:15:04Logan will handle it.
00:15:14Why are you dressed like this?
00:15:25Can you pretend to be my boyfriend
00:15:26for one night?
00:15:27The pay is $3,000.
00:15:32Don't worry, sis.
00:15:33I'm a professional.
00:15:34I guarantee
00:15:35I'll make your colleagues stare.
00:15:37Remember,
00:15:38talk less later.
00:15:39Don't give us away.
00:15:40Don't worry.
00:15:41I'm certified
00:15:41in playing the affectionate
00:15:42puppy dog type.
00:15:46Wow, Ava.
00:15:47This couldn't be your
00:15:48Mr. Right, could it?
00:15:50That outfit is terrifying.
00:15:51Little brother,
00:15:52what high position do you hold?
00:15:54Hello, sis.
00:15:54I'm the hottest face blogger
00:15:56on the entire internet.
00:15:57Search for Grits Aquos
00:15:58to find me,
00:15:58remember to follow
00:15:58and send me a sports car.
00:16:00Logan,
00:16:00your former vice president's
00:16:01taste is truly unique.
00:16:02But then again,
00:16:03this kind of influence
00:16:04influencer who lives
00:16:04off their looks
00:16:05is a perfect match
00:16:06for her status.
00:16:07Ava,
00:16:07I never thought
00:16:08your taste was this poor
00:16:09that you'd stoop so low
00:16:10as to hire such a cheap performer.
00:16:12Why not?
00:16:13In my heart,
00:16:14he's much more genuine
00:16:16than those hypocritical elites.
00:16:19True.
00:16:19Bottom feeders love
00:16:20this kind of influencer
00:16:21the most.
00:16:22By the way,
00:16:23all the guests have arrived.
00:16:24Didn't you say
00:16:25you had a special
00:16:25welcome back gift for me?
00:16:28Hey,
00:16:28I haven't even started
00:16:29showing off my acting skills yet.
00:16:30Why did they leave?
00:16:31Enough.
00:16:32Your job is done.
00:16:33The final payment
00:16:34has been sent.
00:16:35Go.
00:16:36Thanks, sponsor sis.
00:16:44Lena,
00:16:45this is a welcome gift
00:16:46to celebrate
00:16:46your official entry
00:16:47into the Vanderbilt Group.
00:16:49Oh!
00:16:51Darling,
00:16:51it's so beautiful.
00:16:52It's perfect.
00:16:57Ava,
00:16:57does this Rolex
00:16:58look good
00:16:59with my skin tone?
00:17:03It does.
00:17:06If it weren't
00:17:07for paying off
00:17:08that astronomical debt
00:17:09for my family,
00:17:10I wouldn't have
00:17:11sold myself to Logan.
00:17:12I could have had
00:17:13the purest love too,
00:17:15right?
00:17:25Miss Ava,
00:17:26tomorrow is the day
00:17:27you officially take over
00:17:28as CEO of Liberty Financial.
00:17:31Mr. Liam and I
00:17:32are both waiting for you.
00:17:33Don't worry.
00:17:33I'll be there
00:17:34on time tomorrow.
00:17:35The contract is signed
00:17:36and I won't break it.
00:17:38Excellent.
00:17:39We are very much
00:17:40looking forward
00:17:40to your leadership.
00:17:42The time for farewell
00:17:43has finally come.
00:17:44Logan,
00:17:44thank you for the
00:17:45financial support
00:17:46back then,
00:17:46for saving my
00:17:47critically ill mother
00:17:48and for giving me
00:17:49a foothold
00:17:49in this cold city.
00:17:51Thank you for giving
00:17:51me the dream
00:17:52of a rebirth,
00:17:53even though I knew
00:17:53that in your heart
00:17:54I would always be
00:17:55just a humble shadow.
00:17:56I heard you're
00:17:57the poorest student
00:17:58who needs money the most.
00:17:59Help me win over Elena
00:18:00and I'll fund you
00:18:01through college.
00:18:05Elena,
00:18:05don't leave me.
00:18:09For these five years,
00:18:10I've dutifully served
00:18:11as his substitute,
00:18:12accompanying him
00:18:13through his darkest hours.
00:18:15In my heart,
00:18:16you were once
00:18:16an unreachable star,
00:18:17but I'm tired.
00:18:18Goodbye,
00:18:19my former obsession.
00:18:20Goodbye,
00:18:21my shattered youth.
00:18:22Chairman Logan,
00:18:25this glass,
00:18:26I toast to you.
00:18:27Thank you for all
00:18:28your care over the years.
00:18:30Today,
00:18:30I'd like to talk to you
00:18:31about my-
00:18:31Chairman,
00:18:32it's terrible.
00:18:33Grant Financial
00:18:33just formally issued
00:18:34a legal letter
00:18:35announcing a complete
00:18:36withdrawal of investment
00:18:37and suing us
00:18:38for a breach of contract.
00:18:39The company's stock price
00:18:40has already hit the limit down.
00:18:45Chairman,
00:18:46something terrible
00:18:47has happened.
00:18:48Grant Financial
00:18:48has not only
00:18:49dominated all
00:18:50cooperation,
00:18:51but has also joined
00:18:52forces with the four
00:18:53major investment banks
00:18:54on Wall Street
00:18:54to launch a comprehensive
00:18:56blockade against us.
00:18:57How is that possible?
00:18:59Grant has been our
00:18:59staunch ally for five years.
00:19:01Why would they
00:19:02suddenly turn against us?
00:19:03On the day of the signing,
00:19:05Vice President Elena
00:19:05maliciously speculated
00:19:07that Chairman Grant
00:19:07was peeping at her
00:19:08and even slapped him
00:19:09in public.
00:19:10He insulted me first.
00:19:11He was staring at my chest.
00:19:13I was just defending
00:19:14my dignity as a woman.
00:19:15Ava,
00:19:16I told you to assist Elena.
00:19:17Are you dead?
00:19:18Grant Financial
00:19:19is the source
00:19:20of half of our
00:19:20company's funding.
00:19:21Don't you understand
00:19:22the consequences
00:19:22of offending such a giant?
00:19:24If you had stopped
00:19:25this foolish behavior
00:19:25in time,
00:19:26how could things
00:19:27have got this rotten?
00:19:28Sherdant,
00:19:29Miss Ava tried her best
00:19:30to stop it
00:19:30and even demanded
00:19:31Elena apologize immediately.
00:19:33It was Elena
00:19:33who wouldn't listen
00:19:34and even threatened
00:19:34Miss Ava.
00:19:35That's right.
00:19:36If Miss Ava
00:19:36hadn't intervened,
00:19:37Elena would have probably
00:19:38torn the other party
00:19:39to shreds right there
00:19:40in the conference room.
00:19:41Ava,
00:19:43even if she stopped you,
00:19:44couldn't you have
00:19:44called me directly?
00:19:45Where is your professionalism?
00:19:46You actually concealed
00:19:47such a catastrophic disaster
00:19:49and didn't report it.
00:19:49Chairman,
00:19:50President Amba
00:19:51was about to report it
00:19:52at the time,
00:19:52but Vice President Elena
00:19:54said she would communicate
00:19:55with you personally.
00:19:56It seems she didn't mention
00:19:57a single word.
00:19:58Honey,
00:19:58I just wanted to find
00:19:59the right time to explain.
00:20:00I didn't know that man
00:20:01would be so petty.
00:20:02Chairman,
00:20:02the board of directors
00:20:02at headquarters
00:20:03demands you return
00:20:04for a meeting immediately.
00:20:05They hope you gives
00:20:05a German a reasonable explanation.
00:20:09Ava,
00:20:09come with me.
00:20:18Elena just joined
00:20:19Vanderbilt Group.
00:20:20She is my chosen future wife
00:20:21and her record
00:20:22absolutely cannot
00:20:23have any blemish.
00:20:25So,
00:20:26you plan to make me
00:20:27the scapegoat?
00:20:28I will personally
00:20:28submit a report
00:20:29to the board.
00:20:30It will state
00:20:31that it was your
00:20:31overstepping and privation
00:20:33that angered Mr. Grant
00:20:34and led to the withdrawal
00:20:35of funds.
00:20:36Don't worry,
00:20:37once the dust settles,
00:20:38I'll find a way
00:20:38to bring you back.
00:20:39Making me take the bullet
00:20:40for him again.
00:20:41In these five years,
00:20:42how many messes
00:20:43have I cleaned up for him?
00:20:44How many times
00:20:45I've been the fall guy?
00:20:46Logan,
00:20:46how can you be so at ease
00:20:47without even a seal
00:20:48of quills?
00:20:50Logan,
00:20:51one should be responsible
00:20:52for one's own actions.
00:20:53If Ava isn't willing,
00:20:55just let me resign
00:20:55and take the blame.
00:20:57I don't want to see you
00:20:57in a difficult position
00:20:58because of me.
00:21:00Ava,
00:21:00do you really need me
00:21:01to beg you?
00:21:02You handled taking the fall
00:21:03so perfectly before.
00:21:04Why are you acting
00:21:05so unwilling
00:21:05in front of Elena?
00:21:06Don't you know
00:21:06your stubbornness now
00:21:07is destroying
00:21:08all our hard work?
00:21:16I'll take the bullet
00:21:17for you one last time.
00:21:19Why did she agree
00:21:20so readily?
00:21:21Why is she leaving
00:21:22so decisively this time?
00:21:24Could it be
00:21:24I really went too far?
00:21:26Darling,
00:21:26stop thinking about
00:21:27that assistant.
00:21:28She took your money.
00:21:29It's her honor
00:21:29to take the fall for me.
00:21:30Today is my first celebration
00:21:31after joining the company.
00:21:33Don't keep the executives waiting.
00:21:34What are you feeling
00:21:35guilty about?
00:21:36Ava is just a dog.
00:21:37Even if she occasionally
00:21:39gets upset
00:21:40long you give her
00:21:41some luxury goods,
00:21:42she like
00:21:43Logri Chen-ni
00:21:44at your foot
00:21:44that's your runt.
00:21:46Let's go.
00:21:47Tonight,
00:21:47you are the only star.
00:21:55What are you doing here?
00:21:56Mr. Grant,
00:21:57I am here on behalf
00:21:58of the group
00:21:58to formally apologize
00:21:59to you.
00:22:01To Vice President Elena
00:22:02and to the glory
00:22:03that awaits us.
00:22:05Congratulations, Elena.
00:22:06Cheers!
00:22:06Get out
00:22:07with your chief apology!
00:22:09Tell Logan
00:22:09to kneel before me
00:22:10himself
00:22:10or this isn't over!
00:22:16In New York,
00:22:17no one dares
00:22:17to touch Grant's face.
00:22:18You want to make peace?
00:22:20Dream on.
00:22:21Mr. Grant,
00:22:21I take full responsibility
00:22:23for this matter.
00:22:23As long as you can calm down,
00:22:25we are willing to bear
00:22:26all responsibility
00:22:26and provide compensation.
00:22:28To calm me down,
00:22:29sure.
00:22:29If you drink all of these,
00:22:31I'll consider withdrawing
00:22:32the lawyer's letter.
00:22:33Fine.
00:22:33Wait a minute.
00:22:34Since you're taking the blame
00:22:35for someone else,
00:22:36you should at least
00:22:37have the posture
00:22:37of begging, right?
00:22:39Drink on your knee.
00:22:40That's right.
00:22:40In this city of New York,
00:22:42no one who asks Grant
00:22:43for a favor
00:22:44does it standing up.
00:22:46What?
00:22:47Can't stand the humiliation?
00:22:49Then get out.
00:23:10Elena,
00:23:11the future of the Vanderbilt Group
00:23:12depends on you
00:23:13to lead us to new heights.
00:23:15Congratulations,
00:23:16Miss Elena,
00:23:17on securing your throne.
00:23:18Cheers.
00:23:23I wonder if that woman,
00:23:24Ava,
00:23:25can get Grant's
00:23:25letter of understanding.
00:23:49Oh my God!
00:23:51Ava just released
00:23:52a public statement.
00:23:53She announced
00:23:53she takes full responsibility
00:23:54for the grant withdrawal incident
00:23:56and is formally resigning.
00:24:00Resigning?
00:24:01She dares to resign?
00:24:04Ava,
00:24:05what the hell
00:24:06are you trying to do?
00:24:07Who gave you permission
00:24:08to leave me
00:24:08at a time like this?
00:24:10Why is Logan losing control
00:24:11like this
00:24:12just because Ava resigned?
00:24:13That look in his eyes.
00:24:14He's never shown it to me.
00:24:16Could it be
00:24:16he still loves Ava?
00:24:21Your funding back then
00:24:22allowed me to finish college.
00:24:24You truly were
00:24:25the only beam of light
00:24:26in the darkest night
00:24:27of my life.
00:24:28Over these five years,
00:24:29I've made you
00:24:30profits a hundredfold.
00:24:31All my savings
00:24:32are in this card.
00:24:33Enough to offset
00:24:34all your benevolency
00:24:35from back then.
00:24:36Goodbye forever, Logan.
00:24:42Ava,
00:24:42these reports
00:24:43must be redone
00:24:44before the end
00:24:44of the day today.
00:24:45Also,
00:24:46go to that
00:24:46Michelin-starred restaurant
00:24:47at Moon and queue up
00:24:48to make a reservation for me.
00:24:49Logan likes their truffles.
00:24:50You can keep this garbage
00:24:51and chew on it yourself.
00:24:53As for making a reservation,
00:24:54if you're not so useless
00:24:55that your legs are broken,
00:24:57go roll over there yourself.
00:24:59I'm no longer
00:24:59an employee here.
00:25:00You have no right
00:25:01to order me around.
00:25:02Ava,
00:25:02where do you get the nerve
00:25:03to talk to me like that?
00:25:04Without me,
00:25:05you're not even fit
00:25:06to shine Logan's shoes.
00:25:07Since you want to get lost,
00:25:08get lost far away.
00:25:09Disappear from New York
00:25:10completely and don't come back
00:25:11wagging your tail
00:25:12like a stray dog.
00:25:13Elena,
00:25:13you've played the part
00:25:14of that pure money
00:25:15disdaining white moonite
00:25:16very successfully.
00:25:17But remember,
00:25:18a play is just a play.
00:25:19When Logan discovers
00:25:20the rot beneath that skin of yours,
00:25:21I hope you can still smile
00:25:22so brightly.
00:25:34Chairman,
00:25:35the accounts are settled.
00:25:37Thank you for the hell
00:25:38you've given me
00:25:39all these years.
00:25:40It's made me invincible.
00:25:51Ava,
00:25:52you really left?
00:25:55How dare she leave
00:25:56without my permission?
00:26:00Ava,
00:26:01I'll use all my votes
00:26:02on the board
00:26:02to keep you.
00:26:03I haven't approved
00:26:04this resignation report yet.
00:26:05Get back to the company
00:26:06right now.
00:26:07Chairman Logan,
00:26:08there's no need.
00:26:09The nature of this withdrawal
00:26:10incident is extremely severe.
00:26:12Vanderbilt Group
00:26:13must give the other party
00:26:14an explanation
00:26:15and I am the best scapegoat.
00:26:16You make a good point.
00:26:18Let's ride out this storm first.
00:26:19Once those old guys
00:26:20calm down,
00:26:21I'll bring you back.
00:26:22Also,
00:26:23take that black card
00:26:24on the table.
00:26:24It's your compensation.
00:26:25I never intended for you
00:26:26to pay back that tuition money.
00:26:28Chairman,
00:26:28I don't like owing debts
00:26:29and I especially
00:26:30don't like owing favors.
00:26:32The money in that card
00:26:33was what you funded me
00:26:34with for university.
00:26:35I paid it all back to you.
00:26:36Ava,
00:26:37because I let Elena
00:26:37take your position
00:26:38and made you take the fall
00:26:39for her that you're unhappy?
00:26:41You have to understand
00:26:42my predicament.
00:26:42Elena just returned
00:26:43to the country.
00:26:44She needs a perfect resume
00:26:45to solidify her position
00:26:47in the company.
00:26:48Your abilities are known
00:26:49throughout New York.
00:26:50Even if you take this blame,
00:26:51it won't hurt
00:26:51your foundation at all.
00:26:53I'm not angry.
00:26:54In fact,
00:26:54I'm even grateful
00:26:55for taking this fall.
00:26:56It made me realize
00:26:57how liberating freedom feels.
00:26:59Where exactly
00:26:59are you planning to go?
00:27:00To a place
00:27:01where there's no more
00:27:02you and Elena.
00:27:03Isn't that what
00:27:04you've always wanted most?
00:27:05From now on,
00:27:06no one will stand
00:27:07in the way
00:27:08of your white mood line anymore.
00:27:10I...
00:27:10Ava,
00:27:11listen to me.
00:27:13The boarding announcement
00:27:14is on.
00:27:15Goodbye, Logan.
00:27:38Darling, I'm so happy today.
00:27:40We should celebrate
00:27:41being together.
00:27:42And why not invite Ava, too?
00:27:43All, she's worked so hard
00:27:44all these years.
00:27:45She see our happiness
00:27:46with her own eyes.
00:28:01Five years of waiting
00:28:02have finally borne fruit tonight.
00:28:04In this world,
00:28:05nothing is more precious

00:28:13to be together.
00:28:14The one Logan truly loves
00:28:16has always been
00:28:18only you.
00:28:19Congratulations!
00:28:20You are the only queen
00:28:22for Logan.
00:28:26Five years of waiting
00:28:28have finally borne fruit tonight.
00:28:29In this world,
00:28:30nothing is more precious
00:28:32than a love

00:28:33and found again.
00:28:34I love you, Logan.
00:28:36Congratulations!
00:28:37True lovers are destined
00:28:39to be together.
00:28:40The one Logan truly loves
00:28:42has always been
00:28:43only you.
00:28:44Congratulations!
00:28:45You are the only queen
00:28:47for Logan.
00:28:48The lovers can finally
00:28:49embrace each other

00:28:51Congratulations, Logan.
00:28:52You've finally waited
00:28:53for the white moonlight
00:28:54of your dreams.
00:28:55And I, too,
00:28:56have finally waited
00:28:57for my freedom.
00:29:04Welcome to Los Angeles.
00:29:06I'm also very happy
00:29:08to arrive in this
00:29:09new world.
00:29:16Welcome aboard.
00:29:17It's time to start
00:29:18your era.
00:29:20You are
00:29:21Liam?
00:29:26Five years of waiting
00:29:27have finally borne fruit
00:29:28tonight.
00:29:29In this world,
00:29:30nothing is more precious
00:29:31than a love
00:29:32that's been lost
00:29:32and found again.
00:29:33I love you, Logan.
00:29:35Congratulations!
00:29:36True lovers
00:29:37are destined
00:29:38to be together.
00:29:41Ava!
00:29:42You damn woman,
00:29:43not only did you
00:29:44reject me,
00:29:44but you actually
00:29:45dared to hang up on me.
00:29:47She's getting more
00:29:48in there, Goldinus.
00:29:49Sorry,
00:29:49the number you dialed
00:29:50is powered out.
00:29:52Darling,
00:29:53Ava must still
00:29:53be angry with me.
00:29:54It's all my fault.
00:29:56How about
00:29:56on our wedding day?
00:29:58I go and invite
00:29:59her personally.
00:30:01I believe she'll
00:30:02eventually bless us
00:30:03with tears in her eyes.
00:30:11Exactly.
00:30:12What right does she
00:30:13have to refuse me?
00:30:14Everything she has now
00:30:16was given by me.
00:30:18She's nothing but a dog
00:30:19I raised.
00:30:21It won't be long
00:30:22before she gets
00:30:22knocked around
00:30:23and bruised out there,
00:30:25and then obediently
00:30:26crawls back,
00:30:27begging me
00:30:28to take her in.
00:30:30But why
00:30:31did her tone
00:30:31sound so unfamiliar
00:30:32just now?
00:30:33This feeling
00:30:34of losing my grip,
00:30:35could it really
00:30:35be just an illusion?
00:30:36Why do I have
00:30:37this feeling
00:30:37that she's going
00:30:38to disappear
00:30:38from my side?
00:30:55Ava,
00:30:56welcome to
00:30:57Liberty Financial.
00:30:58From today on,
00:30:59this is your stage.
00:31:03Chairman,
00:31:04we have a major problem.
00:31:05Our merger negotiations
00:31:06with Everett Group
00:31:06have completely reached
00:31:07a deadlock.
00:31:08The other party's
00:31:08chief negotiator
00:31:09suddenly turned hostile,
00:31:10demanding an additional
00:31:1120% of equity shares
00:31:12on op of the original terms,
00:31:13or they'll terminate
00:31:14the cooperation immediately.
00:31:15What?
00:31:16We've been preparing
00:31:17for this project
00:31:17for five whole years,
00:31:19investing hundreds
00:31:20of millions of dollars
00:31:20in upfront capital.
00:31:21If it collapses now,
00:31:23the group's cash flow
00:31:23will dry up instantly.
00:31:24We won't be able
00:31:25to hold on.
00:31:26Are the people
00:31:27they sent that guy
00:31:28nicked him the Vulture Miller,
00:31:29and they notoriously
00:31:30greedy Harrison?
00:31:31Yes.
00:31:32It's them.
00:31:34These two are
00:31:34notoriously difficult
00:31:35to deal with on Wall Street.
00:31:37They don't play
00:31:38by any professional
00:31:39rules.
00:31:40What a coincidence.
00:31:42Back at the Vanderbilt Group,
00:31:44I almost drive
00:31:45those two into bankruptcy.
00:31:46They're my old rivals.
00:31:50Leave this project
00:31:51to me.
00:31:55Chairman,
00:31:56who is she?
00:31:56Isn't it too risky
00:31:57to hand over such
00:31:58a big project
00:31:59to a new face?
00:32:00Let me formally
00:32:01introduce to everyone.
00:32:02This is the company's
00:32:03newly assigned
00:32:04executive vice president
00:32:05and chief operating officer,
00:32:06Ava.
00:32:07Hello, everyone.
00:32:09I'm Ava.
00:32:10Transfer all the
00:32:10core materials
00:32:11and our tumbles
00:32:12to President Ava.
00:32:13She has the highest
00:32:14decisioning authority
00:32:14for the coming negotiations.
00:32:16Understood.
00:32:20Ava,
00:32:20I've waited five years
00:32:22just to be able
00:32:22to stand at the
00:32:23pinnacle of Wall Street
00:32:24with you side by side.
00:32:25I firmly believe
00:32:26you will never
00:32:27let me down.
00:32:28Ava,
00:32:29she is a top-class
00:32:30hunter on Wall Street.
00:32:32I believe
00:32:33she won't miss.
00:32:34Charent,
00:32:35is she really capable?
00:32:36The other kind
00:32:37is notoriously
00:32:38stingy on Wall Street.
00:32:39This President Ava
00:32:40is a war goddess,
00:32:42the chairman
00:32:42personally snatched
00:32:43from the hands
00:32:44of New York's
00:32:44top financial magnets.
00:32:46On Wall Street,
00:32:47no one wants to face
00:32:48her at the negotiation table.
00:32:49Open your eyes wide
00:32:50and see clearly.
00:32:51This is the true king
00:32:52of top-tier
00:32:53brussels negotiation.
00:33:02Miller Harrison,
00:33:03long time no see?
00:33:05Ava,
00:33:06what are you doing here?
00:33:08I'm now in charge
00:33:09of the acquisition
00:33:10for this Liberty
00:33:10financial project.
00:33:12I never imagined
00:33:13our opponent
00:33:13would be you.
00:33:15So what's the
00:33:15we're left to discuss?
00:33:17We've experienced
00:33:18your methods firsthand.
00:33:19All those underhanded
00:33:20negotiation tactics
00:33:21are just a waste
00:33:22of time in front of you.
00:33:24Then sign.
00:33:25No problem.
00:33:27You are the guarantee
00:33:28of industry credibility.
00:33:29We can drive
00:33:30a hard bargain
00:33:31with rookies.
00:33:31But with you,
00:33:32we value
00:33:33long-term cooperation more.
00:33:35Smart.
00:33:35Liberty Financial
00:33:36will provide you
00:33:37with top-tier
00:33:38investment banking
00:33:38support in return.
00:33:40Am I seeing things?
00:33:41That tough nut
00:33:42we've been trying
00:33:43to crack for five years
00:33:44and she got it signed
00:33:44in less than five minutes?
00:33:45This isn't a negotiation.
00:33:47It's a one-hide
00:33:47of domination.
00:33:48Incredible.
00:33:48Is this Ava's
00:33:49true power?
00:33:50Simply amazing.
00:33:51Our company's
00:33:52about to take off.
00:33:53Senior.
00:33:54You're still the queen
00:33:55everyone looks up to.
00:33:56With you,
00:33:57Liberty Financial
00:33:57is about to experience
00:33:58a dream-like leap forward.
00:34:02Pleasure doing business.
00:34:07Pleasure doing business.
00:34:08Ava,
00:34:09Logan is truly insane
00:34:11to let go
00:34:11of a partner
00:34:12of your caliber.
00:34:13You flatter me, Miller.
00:34:14That's not just politeness.
00:34:16If we had known earlier
00:34:18that you were leaving
00:34:18that troublesome company,
00:34:20we would have offered
00:34:21double the equity
00:34:21to poach you.
00:34:23Since you both
00:34:24trust me so much,
00:34:25we'll be allies
00:34:25in Los Angeles
00:34:26from now on.
00:34:27It's a deal.
00:34:28See you again.
00:34:32Miss Ava,
00:34:33how on earth
00:34:34did you do it?
00:34:35They're known
00:34:36as the devil's
00:34:37representatives
00:34:37who never concede.
00:34:39The essence of business
00:34:41is the equivalent
00:34:42exchange of resources.
00:34:45As long as you see
00:34:46through the other
00:34:47party's weakness
00:34:47and offer a bargaining chip
00:34:49they can't refuse,
00:34:50success is a matter
00:34:52of course.
00:34:57As expected of my senior,
00:34:59with you on board,
00:35:00Liberty Financial
00:35:01is destined to shine
00:35:02on Wall Street.
00:35:03I'm honored to join
00:35:04the Liberty Financial team.
00:35:09The terms of this
00:35:10offshore funds
00:35:11betting agreement
00:35:12are overwhelmingly
00:35:13in our favor.
00:35:14Is it really reliable?
00:35:16Of course.
00:35:17This is a project
00:35:18personally recommended
00:35:19by my classmate
00:35:20from Cambridge.
00:35:21There's absolutely
00:35:22no problem.
00:35:22Elena,
00:35:23with you by my side,
00:35:25I'm like a like wings.
00:35:26Once we sign this project,
00:35:28the market value
00:35:29of Vanderbilt Group
00:35:29can double this quarter
00:35:30and those old board members
00:35:32will have nothing to say.
00:35:34Am I better than that Ava
00:35:35who all knows
00:35:36how to bear your head
00:35:37and worker?
00:35:37Her.
00:35:38She's not worth
00:35:39one ten thousandth of you.
00:35:41As long as I help Logan
00:35:42secure these few
00:35:43more big deals
00:35:44and completely win
00:35:45his father's approval,
00:35:46I'll be the true mistress
00:35:47of the Vanderbilt family.
00:35:50So,
00:35:50how does it feel
00:35:51to be back
00:35:51at our alma mater?
00:35:52Much more relaxing
00:35:54than the office buildings
00:35:54in Manhattan, right?
00:35:56I never thought
00:35:57we'd reunite
00:35:58under these circumstances,
00:35:59but Liam,
00:36:00our meeting again,
00:36:01it probably wasn't
00:36:03a coincidence,
00:36:03was it?
00:36:06actually,
00:36:07I've been silently
00:36:08watching you
00:36:09all these years.
00:36:11It's just that
00:36:11you were too close
00:36:12to Logan
00:36:13and never had
00:36:14a chance
00:36:14to step in.
00:36:15To be honest,
00:36:16I fell for you
00:36:17at first sight.
00:36:18I watched you compete
00:36:19in speech contests
00:36:20and dominate in debates.
00:36:22After graduation,
00:36:23I wanted to invite you
00:36:24to start a business together,
00:36:25but then I heard you
00:36:26join Logan's family business
00:36:27to pay off your debt.
00:36:28From the day
00:36:28I entered Vanderbilt,
00:36:30I never planned to stay
00:36:30for a lifetime.
00:36:31I was just repaying a debt.
00:36:33Once it's paid off,
00:36:34it's time to leave.
00:36:35But I heard you were
00:36:36in a core position,
00:36:37holding all the lifelines
00:36:38of the company.
00:36:39How could that lunatic Logan
00:36:40bear to let you go?
00:36:41The world keeps turning
00:36:42without anyone.
00:36:43I'm not as indispensable
00:36:45as he thinks.
00:36:46I've done what needed
00:36:47to be done,
00:36:48repaid what needed
00:36:48to be repaid.
00:36:49We're even.
00:36:50I can disappear from his world
00:36:51with a clear conscience.
00:36:52Now that you've come
00:36:53to my side,
00:36:54I will never let go again.
00:36:58Chairman,
00:36:59something terrible
00:36:59has happened.
00:37:00Vice President Elena
00:37:01publicly fired our top
00:37:02salesperson Carter
00:37:03just because he was
00:37:0410 minutes late
00:37:04to the morning meeting.
00:37:05Carter was immediately
00:37:07poached by our arch rival
00:37:08Apex Capital.
00:37:10He took three of our
00:37:11core major clients
00:37:12with him.
00:37:14The company's losses
00:37:15are at least
00:37:15$200 million.
00:37:18Who gave her permission
00:37:19to touch Carter?
00:37:20He's the pillar
00:37:21of our company's performance.
00:37:27Chairman,
00:37:27it gets worse.
00:37:28We just wired
00:37:29the $50 million advance
00:37:30for that overseas project
00:37:31Elena signed off of
00:37:32and the recipient's account
00:37:33was instantly deactivated.
00:37:34We checked the FBI's blacklist.
00:37:36It's just a shell company
00:37:37for money laundering.
00:37:38We've been set up.
00:37:41What?
00:37:45Chairman,
00:37:46I personally
00:37:46half a month a month
00:37:47in Silicon Valley
00:37:48touched us
00:37:49as socials genius Carter.
00:37:51With Ham on board,
00:37:53no one can touch
00:37:53Vanderbeltsen
00:37:54with North Mayor's share.
00:37:55This man's background
00:37:56is indeed
00:37:57clean
00:37:58and formidable.
00:38:00And these offshore projects,
00:38:01I've been tracking them
00:38:02for two years.
00:38:03I've personally done
00:38:04all the risk assessments.
00:38:05As long as I'm here,
00:38:07none of your decisions
00:38:08will go wrong.
00:38:10Chairman,
00:38:11Elena just signed
00:38:11two $10 billion hedge agreements
00:38:13with European investment banks
00:38:14in your name.
00:38:15But according to our
00:38:16emergency due diligence,
00:38:17both companies are backed
00:38:18by nothing but shells.
00:38:19The risk is off the circus.
00:38:21Chairman,
00:38:21you have to make a decision
00:38:22or the company
00:38:23will be hollowed out.
00:38:37In such a short time,
00:38:39I've used my
00:38:39university connections
00:38:41to secure so many
00:38:42major projects for Logan.
00:38:44He must be looking at me
00:38:46in a new light now,
00:38:47finally realizing
00:38:49who his true partner
00:38:50in battle is.
00:38:55Investigate.
00:38:56The overseas parent companies
00:38:58of these two projects
00:38:59have no operational
00:39:00qualifications at all.
00:39:02They're all shell companies
00:39:03for money laundering.
00:39:05Chairman,
00:39:06the finance department
00:39:08just followed
00:39:08Miss Elena's urgent instructions
00:39:10and has already transferred
00:39:11all the down payments.
00:39:13All transferred?
00:39:15$500 million?
00:39:17How on earth
00:39:18did Elena vet
00:39:19their qualifications?
00:39:20Is her brain
00:39:21filled with mush?
00:39:22With this level
00:39:23of incompetence,
00:39:24she's not even worth
00:39:25one ten-thousandth
00:39:27of Ava.
00:39:32All of you,
00:39:33get out!
00:39:40If Ava were here,
00:39:41such a low-level mistake
00:39:43would never have happened.
00:39:46If Ava were here,
00:39:48such a low-level mistake
00:39:49would never have happened.
00:39:50But why?
00:39:51Elena is clearly
00:39:52my first love.
00:39:53So why do I have
00:39:54such absurd thoughts?
00:39:56Elena just returned
00:39:57to the country.
00:39:58It's inevitable
00:39:59there are slip-ups
00:39:59in business.
00:40:00As long as I bring
00:40:01Ava back to assist her,
00:40:03the company will quickly
00:40:04get back on track.
00:40:08Sorry,
00:40:09the number you have
00:40:10dialed is not in service.
00:40:12Not in service?
00:40:14Ava,
00:40:15you've gone this far?
00:40:16You even cut off
00:40:17the last means of contact?
00:40:31Ava!
00:40:33Open the door!
00:40:34I know you're in there!
00:40:35Don't play hide-and-souk
00:40:36with me!
00:40:46Ava?
00:41:02Logan,
00:41:03this is my final gift to you.
00:41:05Everything you casually
00:41:06handed down to me
00:41:07over the years
00:41:07is in this box.
00:41:13I didn't take
00:41:13a single piece
00:41:14of the trash
00:41:15in the closet
00:41:15that you look down upon.
00:41:17We're even now.
00:41:19Goodbye forever.
00:41:27What does she mean
00:41:28by this?
00:41:29These were my rewards
00:41:30to her.
00:41:31She never used
00:41:33a single one?
00:41:37This Rolex
00:41:38was originally bought
00:41:39for Elena,
00:41:40but I remembered wrong.
00:41:43She doesn't like
00:41:44this kind of rugged strap.
00:41:45It's yours now.
00:41:46Take it and wear.
00:42:04The tag is still on.
00:42:07She never wore
00:42:08any of the clothes
00:42:08I bought for her.
00:42:15The tag is still on.
00:42:17She never wore
00:42:18any of the clothes
00:42:19I bought for her.
00:42:20Darling,
00:42:21does this limited edition
00:42:22Chanel suit your complexion?
00:42:24Honey,
00:42:25I've long outgrown
00:42:25that old-fashioned style.
00:42:27I have other brands
00:42:28I prefer.
00:42:28got to go.
00:42:30Go on.
00:42:38Elena doesn't like it.
00:42:40This trash is yours now.
00:42:42Throw it away
00:42:43or wear it yourself.
00:42:46These jewels,
00:42:48these clothes,
00:42:49she hasn't even
00:42:50touched them.
00:42:51Every single thing
00:42:52she left here
00:42:52is a slap in my face.
00:42:54She's telling me
00:42:55she never valued
00:42:56anything I gave her.
00:43:06Ava,
00:43:07what gives you
00:43:08the right to draw
00:43:09a line with me?
00:43:10Are you trying
00:43:11to tell me
00:43:12you've won
00:43:12with all this garbage?
00:43:18Mobilize all our contacts,
00:43:20both legal and underworld.
00:43:21Seal off every exit port
00:43:23in New York.
00:43:24Track that woman down
00:43:25no matter where
00:43:26she's hiding.
00:43:27She doesn't even
00:43:28have the right
00:43:29to die without
00:43:29my permission.
00:43:32How dare she disappear?
00:43:35I'll make her regret
00:43:36ever being born.
00:43:42Ava,
00:43:43what gives you
00:43:44the right to draw
00:43:45a line with me?
00:43:46Are you trying
00:43:46to tell me
00:43:47you've won
00:43:47with all this garbage?
00:43:54Ava,
00:43:55even though
00:43:55you've been
00:43:56driven out
00:43:56of New York,
00:43:57Logan's heart
00:43:58is still
00:43:58completely filled
00:43:59with you.
00:44:00No,
00:44:01you're just
00:44:02my replacement.
00:44:03Logan can only
00:44:04be my prey.
00:44:08I'm going
00:44:09to let the
00:44:09whole world
00:44:10know who
00:44:11the future
00:44:11master
00:44:11of the Vanderbilt
00:44:12family is.
00:44:13Ava,
00:44:14you'll forever
00:44:15be stuck
00:44:15in the gutter.
00:44:26Have you
00:44:26found her?
00:44:27Chairman,
00:44:28we've searched
00:44:28all the private
00:44:29clinics and
00:44:29apartments in
00:44:30Manhattan and
00:44:30Queens.
00:44:31There's absolutely
00:44:32no trace of
00:44:33Miss Ava.
00:44:36Damn it!
00:44:37Ava,
00:44:38where the hell
00:44:39are you hiding?
00:44:43Damn it!
00:44:44Ava,
00:44:45where the hell
00:44:45are you hiding?
00:44:46Where exactly
00:44:47are you planning
00:44:47to go?
00:44:48To a place
00:44:49where there's
00:44:49no more
00:44:49you and
00:44:50Elena.
00:44:50She paid
00:44:51off all
00:44:51her debts
00:44:52just to
00:44:52escape me
00:44:53completely.
00:44:54Ava,
00:44:54who gave
00:44:54you the
00:44:55nerve to
00:44:55vanish from
00:44:56my world?
00:44:59Buddy,
00:45:00you're way
00:45:00too low-key.
00:45:01You're about
00:45:02to get married
00:45:03and you
00:45:03didn't even
00:45:03invite us
00:45:04for a drink?
00:45:05Elena's
00:45:05the one
00:45:05with scents.
00:45:06The photos
00:45:06she posted
00:45:07have set
00:45:07all of
00:45:07Wall Street
00:45:08on fire.
00:45:09What wedding?
00:45:10What the hell
00:45:10are you talking
00:45:10about?
00:45:11Stop pretending.
00:45:12Check your
00:45:12social media feed.
00:45:13You guys are
00:45:14really going
00:45:14all out.
00:45:15Was that right
00:45:15after you got
00:45:16out of bed?
00:45:23Darling,
00:45:24why are you
00:45:25here so
00:45:25early?
00:45:26Did you
00:45:26miss me?
00:45:30Delete that
00:45:30disgusting post
00:45:31right now,
00:45:32Elena.
00:45:32I brought you
00:45:33back to play
00:45:34the part of
00:45:34the perfect
00:45:34white moonlight
00:45:35not to
00:45:36scheme here.
00:45:38Elena,
00:45:39when did
00:45:40you become
00:45:40so scheming?
00:45:41Logan,
00:45:42I'm your
00:45:43fiance.
00:45:44Is posting
00:45:44an intimate
00:45:45photo of you
00:45:45some kind
00:45:46of capital
00:45:46crime?
00:45:47Phone.
00:45:48Unlock it.
00:45:49If you
00:45:50want our
00:45:50relationship
00:45:51to end
00:45:51right here,
00:45:52you can
00:45:52keep holding
00:45:52on to it.
00:46:02From now
00:46:02on,
00:46:03you are not
00:46:03to post
00:46:03anything about
00:46:04my private
00:46:04life without
00:46:04permission.
00:46:06Elena,
00:46:06trying to
00:46:07force marriage
00:46:07with such
00:46:07a low-level
00:46:08technic is
00:46:08too childish.
00:46:09This is
00:46:09the first
00:46:10and last
00:46:10time.
00:46:11If it
00:46:11were Ava,
00:46:12she would
00:46:12never do
00:46:12something so
00:46:13stupid.
00:46:13She always
00:46:14knows where
00:46:14the line
00:46:15is.
00:46:15Logan,
00:46:16I did
00:46:17this because
00:46:17I love
00:46:17you too
00:46:18much.
00:46:19I'm scared
00:46:20every day.
00:46:21Scared you'll
00:46:22get tired
00:46:22of me.
00:46:23Scared you'll
00:46:24realize I'm
00:46:24not as capable
00:46:25as Ava.
00:46:26What I fear
00:46:27most is that
00:46:27Ava will
00:46:28come back
00:46:28and take
00:46:28you away
00:46:29from me.
00:46:32Please,
00:46:33don't do
00:46:34this.
00:46:35Logan,
00:46:35please don't
00:46:36go.
00:46:37I'll be
00:46:37good.
00:46:38I'll become
00:46:38the person
00:46:39you want
00:46:39me to be.
00:46:40I'm just
00:46:41so afraid
00:46:41of losing
00:46:42you.
00:46:43Afraid
00:46:43of losing?
00:46:44I admit
00:46:45I made
00:46:45the stupidest
00:46:46decision,
00:46:47but you're
00:46:47the only
00:46:48one in
00:46:48my heart.
00:46:49I really
00:46:50care about
00:46:50you too
00:46:51much.
00:46:53I didn't,
00:46:53Mr. Logan.
00:46:54Don't worry,
00:46:55I'll find
00:46:55one soon.
00:46:56Don't lie.
00:46:57Elena is
00:46:58starting to
00:46:58suspect us.
00:46:59I won't
00:47:00allow you to
00:47:00tarnish the
00:47:01pure love
00:47:01between her
00:47:02and me.
00:47:03I shared a
00:47:03bed with
00:47:04Ava for
00:47:04five whole
00:47:04years.
00:47:05I honestly
00:47:05thought she
00:47:06would have
00:47:06some shred
00:47:06of attachment,
00:47:07but now
00:47:07she managed
00:47:08to vanish
00:47:08into thin air
00:47:09without a
00:47:09second thought.
00:47:10Turns out,
00:47:11the one who
00:47:11truly cares
00:47:12never leaves.
00:47:13and the one
00:47:14who never
00:47:14really cared
00:47:14about me
00:47:15walks away
00:47:16with zero
00:47:16regrets.
00:47:17Ava,
00:47:18you may.
00:47:26Do you
00:47:26do
00:47:27quality
00:47:27issues,
00:47:27the
00:47:28foundation
00:47:28has
00:47:28collapsed.
00:47:29The other
00:47:29party has
00:47:30officially filed
00:47:31a lawsuit
00:47:31with a
00:47:31federal court
00:47:32demanding
00:47:32that we
00:47:33pay
00:47:33one
00:47:33billion
00:47:33U.S.
00:47:34dollars.
00:47:36What did
00:47:37you say?
00:47:40Darling,
00:47:41look at
00:47:41this.
00:47:41I'm going
00:47:42going to
00:47:42replace
00:47:42all those
00:47:43outdated
00:47:44suppliers
00:47:44Ava
00:47:45left
00:47:45behind.
00:47:48Why
00:47:48change
00:47:49them?
00:47:49Those
00:47:50companies
00:47:50have
00:47:50worked
00:47:51with
00:47:51us
00:47:51for
00:47:5110
00:47:51years
00:47:52without
00:47:52a
00:47:52single
00:47:52mistake.
00:47:53Because
00:47:54they're
00:47:54too
00:47:54expensive.
00:47:55The
00:47:56batch I
00:47:56found
00:47:56is
00:47:56half
00:47:57the
00:47:57price.
00:47:58That
00:47:58woman,
00:47:59I
00:47:59treated
00:47:59her
00:47:59so
00:47:59well,
00:48:00and
00:48:00she
00:48:00betrayed
00:48:01me?
00:48:01You're
00:48:02the

00:48:35I

00:48:50bitch?
00:48:52You
00:48:52actually

00:48:54You're

00:48:58trash

00:49:03Chairman,
00:49:04if we
00:49:04can't
00:49:04come up
00:49:04with a
00:49:05solution
00:49:05before
00:49:05the
00:49:05market
00:49:06opens
00:49:06tomorrow,
00:49:07Vanderbilt's
00:49:07stock will
00:49:08be wiped
00:49:08out
00:49:08instantly.
00:49:09We're
00:49:09going
00:49:09bankrupt.
00:49:10Bankrupt?
00:49:12Vanderbilt's
00:49:12century-old
00:49:13legacy is
00:49:13going to be
00:49:14destroyed
00:49:14by me?
00:49:15If
00:49:15Ava were
00:49:16here,
00:49:16none of
00:49:17this would
00:49:17have
00:49:17happened.
00:49:18It's
00:49:18all my
00:49:19fault.
00:49:19How
00:49:20could I
00:49:20have been
00:49:20so blind
00:49:21to let
00:49:21a fool
00:49:22like
00:49:22Elena
00:49:22take
00:49:22the
00:49:23vice

00:54:51I heard
00:54:52Liam has

00:54:55in his
00:54:56eyes
00:54:56is
00:54:56impossible

00:55:15I can't

00:55:19This
00:55:19woman was
00:55:20my shadow

00:55:22That
00:55:22ingrained
00:55:22sense of
00:55:23inferiority
00:55:24can't be
00:55:24changed.

00:55:26doesn't
00:55:26dare to
00:55:27defy

00:56:45Liam,
00:56:46you're
00:56:46too
00:56:46kind.
00:56:47Without

00:56:48round-the-clock
00:56:49cooperation,
00:56:50I alone

00:56:51off an
00:56:52operation
00:56:52of this
00:56:52scale.
00:56:53Ava,
00:56:53to be
00:56:54honest,
00:56:54before

00:56:55we
00:56:55were
00:56:56just

00:56:57day,
00:56:58almost
00:56:58hitting
00:56:58rock
00:56:59bottom.
00:56:59Yeah,
00:56:59if Ava hadn't
00:57:00joined and led
00:57:01us to this
00:57:01turnaround victory,
00:57:02this dinner
00:57:03tonight would
00:57:03probably be our
00:57:04farewell party.
00:57:04Don't talk
00:57:05nonsense.
00:57:06With Ava,
00:57:07our blueprint
00:57:07has just
00:57:08begun.
00:57:08To the
00:57:09future
00:57:09queen of
00:57:09Wall
00:57:10Street,
00:57:10bottoms
00:57:11up.
00:57:13Ava,
00:57:13haven't you
00:57:14noticed?
00:57:14You and
00:57:15our chairman
00:57:15Liam standing
00:57:16together are
00:57:17practically the
00:57:17textbook example
00:57:18of a top-tier
00:57:19Chibon couple.
00:57:20Exactly.
00:57:21Ever since
00:57:22Ava joined,
00:57:22I've never seen
00:57:23Chairman Liam sober.
00:57:24His eyes are
00:57:25always full of
00:57:26pink bubbles.
00:57:26Can't all this
00:57:27premium steak
00:57:28shut you up?
00:57:29We agreed
00:57:30tonight,
00:57:31no one leaves
00:57:32until we're
00:57:33drunk,
00:57:33and whoever
00:57:34leaves first
00:57:34pays the
00:57:34bill.
00:57:40Oh,
00:57:41Ava,
00:57:41I can't go
00:57:42on.
00:57:43I'm seeing
00:57:43double.
00:57:45Chairman Liam
00:57:46is in your
00:57:46capable hands
00:57:47now.
00:57:47Right,
00:57:48right,
00:57:48my mom told
00:57:48me to go
00:57:49home for a
00:57:49late-night
00:57:49snack.
00:57:50If I'm
00:57:50late,
00:57:51she'll
00:57:51confiscate my
00:57:51credit card.
00:57:52The sacred
00:57:52mission of
00:57:53Escortijon
00:57:53falls to
00:57:54you.
00:57:55Hey,
00:57:57you bunch
00:57:57of traitors.
00:58:09Take it
00:58:09easy.
00:58:10You really
00:58:11should lose
00:58:11some weight,
00:58:12big guy.
00:58:14Okay.
00:58:26This is a
00:58:27photo of me
00:58:28from my
00:58:28university
00:58:29days?
00:58:32Damn it.
00:58:33I forgot to
00:58:34hide this
00:58:34incriminate
00:58:35evidence.
00:58:43Weren't
00:58:43you so drunk
00:58:44you could
00:58:44barely walk?
00:58:46I was a
00:58:46bit dizzy
00:58:47just now,
00:58:48but seeing
00:58:48this photo,
00:58:50I suddenly
00:58:50sobered up.
00:58:52How do you
00:58:53have a photo
00:58:53of me from
00:58:54my junior
00:58:54year?
00:58:55Back then,
00:58:56you were the
00:58:56star of the
00:58:56Yale football
00:58:57team,
00:58:57and I was
00:58:58just a
00:58:58part-time
00:58:58working
00:58:59student,
00:58:59practically
00:59:00invisible.
00:59:01Because long
00:59:02before that
00:59:02football game,
00:59:03I had already
00:59:04been watching
00:59:04you.
00:59:11Too expensive.
00:59:12That's enough
00:59:12for two months
00:59:13of my living
00:59:13expenses.
00:59:17I knew
00:59:17your family
00:59:18had gone
00:59:18bankrupt,
00:59:19and you
00:59:19were burdened
00:59:20with huge
00:59:20student loans.
00:59:21You could
00:59:21only save
00:59:22every penny
00:59:22to buy
00:59:23those obscure
00:59:23professional
00:59:24books.
00:59:37back then,
00:59:38you only
00:59:38had eyes
00:59:39for Logan,
00:59:40the one
00:59:40who took
00:59:41you out
00:59:41of the
00:59:42slums.
00:59:43I was
00:59:43afraid of
00:59:44disturbing
00:59:44your happiness,
00:59:45so I could
00:59:46only hide
00:59:47my identity
00:59:47and silently
00:59:48help you
00:59:49in this
00:59:49clumsy
00:59:49way.
00:59:50After
00:59:51graduating
00:59:51from
00:59:51university,
00:59:52I knew
00:59:53you went
00:59:53to Logan's
00:59:53company
00:59:54out of
00:59:54gratitude.
00:59:55I watched
00:59:55you choose
00:59:56a path
00:59:56you didn't
00:59:57like,
00:59:57watched
00:59:58you step
00:59:58back for
00:59:59his ambitions,
00:59:59and grow
01:00:00into the
01:00:00top elite
01:00:01step by
01:00:02step.
01:00:02No one
01:00:03knows how
01:00:03much you
01:00:04sacrificed,
01:00:04but I do.
01:00:06I know
01:00:07your heart
01:00:07was just
01:00:07broken by
01:00:08Logan.
01:00:09Five years
01:00:09of youth
01:00:09traded for
01:00:10betrayal.
01:00:14I know
01:00:15you can't
01:00:15fall in love
01:00:16with someone
01:00:16else right
01:00:17away,
01:00:17but I'm
01:00:17willing to
01:00:18wait.
01:00:20As long
01:00:21as you can
01:00:21walk out
01:00:22of that
01:00:22darkness,
01:00:23even if
01:00:24you treat
01:00:24me as
01:00:24Tiet for
01:00:25Logan,
01:00:25I'm
01:00:25willing.
01:00:27Liam,
01:00:28I'm sorry,
01:00:29I can't
01:00:29agree to
01:00:30that.
01:00:43Liam,
01:00:44I'm sorry,
01:00:45I can't
01:00:45agree to
01:00:45your proposal
01:00:46just now.
01:00:48I was
01:00:49too impatient,
01:00:50Ava.
01:00:50If you feel
01:00:51pressured,
01:00:51we can just
01:00:52be business
01:00:53partners.
01:00:54Long as I
01:00:54can be by
01:00:54your side,
01:00:55I'm willing
01:00:55to do
01:00:56anything.
01:00:57I mean
01:00:58this shit,
01:00:58I don't
01:00:59need you
01:00:59to be
01:00:59anyone
01:01:00T-tight.
01:01:01Liam,
01:01:02you are
01:01:02you,
01:01:02the one
01:01:03and only
01:01:03bright spot
01:01:04in my
01:01:04life.
01:01:05I'm no
01:01:06longer
01:01:06that
01:01:06humble
01:01:07Steeter.
01:01:08Start a
01:01:08day,
01:01:09we'll
01:01:09need to
01:01:09forget
01:01:10someone
01:01:10to
01:01:10Kaishin
01:01:11solution.
01:01:13So,
01:01:13does that
01:01:14mean we...
01:01:17Of course.

01:02:05deal isn't

01:02:26for no
01:02:27complicated
01:02:27reason,
01:02:28simply
01:02:29because I've
01:02:30also been
01:02:31hopelessly in
01:02:32love with
01:02:32you for a
01:02:32long time.
01:02:33I'm so
01:02:34happy,
01:02:34Ava.
01:02:35I feel like
01:02:35all the
01:02:36sunline in
01:02:37the world
01:02:37has brightened
01:02:38at this
01:02:38moment.
01:02:55See you

01:02:56Ava.
01:02:56Have a
01:02:57pleasant evening.
01:02:58See you
01:02:58tomorrow.
01:03:07Where are
01:03:08you going?
01:03:08Get in
01:03:09the car,
01:03:09I'll give
01:03:09you a
01:03:09ride.
01:03:10Logan,
01:03:11who
01:03:11exactly are
01:03:12you performing
01:03:12these childish
01:03:13tricks for?
01:03:14Ava,
01:03:15I didn't
01:03:16handle things
01:03:16properly back
01:03:17then.
01:03:18I shouldn't
01:03:19have let you
01:03:19take the fall
01:03:20for that damn
01:03:20charge to
01:03:21protect Elena's
01:03:22reputation,
01:03:22forcing you to
01:03:23resign and
01:03:24leave the
01:03:24company.
01:03:25the position of
01:03:25vice president
01:03:26at the
01:03:26Vanderbilt Group.
01:03:27I've kept it
01:03:28for you.
01:03:29The room that
01:03:30belongs to you
01:03:30at home,
01:03:31I've had it
01:03:31cleaned.
01:03:32Just say the
01:03:33word, and you
01:03:34can come back
01:03:35anytime.
01:03:36We can start
01:03:36over.
01:03:39Logan, I'm
01:03:40curious.
01:03:41Who gave you the
01:03:41confidence to think
01:03:42that I would give
01:03:43up my position as a
01:03:44global partner at
01:03:45Liberty Financial to
01:03:46return to your
01:03:47nearly-brancropped
01:03:48Vanderbilt Group,
01:03:48just to be a vice
01:03:50vectricer you can
01:03:50summon and dismiss
01:03:51at will?
01:03:54What are you
01:03:55talking about?
01:03:58And what makes
01:03:59you think that
01:04:00keeping that dark,
01:04:01damp, uninhabitable
01:04:02servants room in
01:04:03your house for me is
01:04:05some great favor?
01:04:08Logan, stop wasting
01:04:09your time on me.
01:04:10Your persistence
01:04:11only makes me think
01:04:12less of you.
01:04:17Ava, since you
01:04:18have no feelings
01:04:18for me, I've
01:04:20prepared a better
01:04:21gift for you.
01:04:22I'm sure you'll
01:04:23like it.
01:04:30This is the
01:04:31place.
01:04:32Who exactly is
01:04:33this mysterious
01:04:34investor?
01:04:39Miss Ava, I
01:04:40presume?
01:04:41This way, please.
01:04:42Your table is
01:04:42ready.
01:04:43Is there a
01:04:43proposal happening
01:04:44here today?
01:04:44Something like
01:04:45that.
01:04:45A gentleman is
01:04:46preparing the most
01:04:47romantic surprise for
01:04:48you.
01:04:48Miss Ava, please
01:04:49take a seat first.
01:04:56So it's Ava that
01:04:57Logan wants to
01:04:58confess to.
01:04:58I'll mix that
01:04:59disfigurating potent
01:05:00patient into the
01:05:01red wine.
01:05:01Ava, this is what
01:05:02you get for stealing
01:05:03my man.
01:05:05Ava, you've really
01:05:06come to your end.
01:05:12It's you!
01:05:21So, the mysterious
01:05:22investor, who
01:05:23anonymously requested a
01:05:24meeting for
01:05:24cooperation, is you.
01:05:25To be precise, it's
01:05:26the who wants to beg on
01:05:27his knees to cooperate.
01:05:28Ava, don't go.
01:05:29Give me five minutes.
01:05:29I said the wrong thing
01:05:30at the summit entrance
01:05:31noon.
01:05:31That wasn't what I
01:05:32truly meant.
01:05:36Just say yes, and you'll be
01:05:37the Vanderbilt Group's sole
01:05:38representative in North
01:05:39America.
01:05:40The $50 million mansion in
01:05:41Manhattan, all the trust funds
01:05:43in my name, they'll all have
01:05:44your signature on them.
01:05:45Let's go back to how we were
01:05:46before.
01:05:47Back to when I only had you,
01:05:48okay?
01:05:50Ever since you left, everything
01:05:52has spiraled out of control
01:05:53for me.
01:05:54Why do those difficult
01:05:55shareholders and partners
01:05:56only recognize you?
01:05:58Ava, where are you?
01:05:59Only now do I realize that all
01:06:01my external success was because
01:06:03of you.
01:06:04It was only after the day you
01:06:06left me that I realized just
01:06:07how important you were to me.
01:06:08Ava, pour me a cup of coffee.
01:06:11I got used to working late
01:06:12nights with the coffee you
01:06:13brought me.
01:06:14Used to you handling all my
01:06:15troubles.
01:06:16Without you, my world is just
01:06:17gray.
01:06:22Ava, I really can't live
01:06:23without you.
01:06:24For God's sake, come back
01:06:25to me.
01:06:26Logan, I've been by your
01:06:27side for so long.
01:06:28Have you ever respected me?
01:06:30Have you ever cared about
01:06:31me?
01:06:32I admit, I owe you a debt of
01:06:34gratitude.
01:06:34But these past five years,
01:06:36I've already repaid it.
01:06:37You don't need to put on this
01:06:38act of deep affection for the
01:06:39sake of your pathetic
01:06:40possessiveness.
01:06:41Don't be so distant with me,
01:06:43Ava.
01:06:44Let's start over, like before.
01:06:46Let me spoil you again,
01:06:47okay?
01:06:47Don't you think you look like a
01:06:49child right now?
01:06:50Ava, listen to me.
01:06:51I'm not angry that you left
01:06:52Vanderbilt five years ago,
01:06:53really.
01:06:53I just think those unpleasant
01:06:55things are in the past now.
01:06:56Since it's all in the past,
01:06:57Chapman Logan, there's no need
01:06:59to lower yourself by bringing up
01:07:00old debts.
01:07:01The current distance is good
01:07:02for both of us.
01:07:03I've already humbled myself and
01:07:05apologized to you.
01:07:06Isn't that enough for you?
01:07:07I don't need your apology,
01:07:08and I have no interest
01:07:09playing hard to get with you.
01:07:11You should be more worried
01:07:12about your white moonlight.
01:07:13Won't Elena go crazy if she
01:07:14finds out you came to see me
01:07:16so publicly today?
01:07:17Don't mention her.
01:07:18We, we've broken up.
01:07:22Ava, you bitch.
01:07:24If it weren't for you setting me
01:07:25up and making me lose my
01:07:26vice president position,
01:07:27if it weren't for you,
01:07:28I would have long secured my
01:07:29place as Mrs. Vanderbilt.
01:07:30Look at what I've been reduced
01:07:31to now.
01:07:32I will make you pay a hundred
01:07:34fold.
01:07:35I've broken up and gotten
01:07:36back together with her
01:07:37countless times this past year,
01:07:38and I finally realized she's
01:07:39not the innocent girl I fell
01:07:40in love with at Yale back
01:07:41then.
01:07:41She's like a lunadeck.
01:07:43Every time I neglect her,
01:07:44she tries everything to hurt
01:07:45herself, even resorting to
01:07:46using her body.
01:07:47Such a cheap way to win me
01:07:48back.
01:07:49I'm really tired.
01:07:50Logan, I have zero interest
01:07:51in the low-level love-hate
01:07:52drama between you two.
01:07:54If you ask me out just to vent
01:07:55these emotional grievance,
01:07:56then I'm afraid I must excuse
01:07:57myself.
01:07:58Ava, stop acting like a
01:07:59child.
01:08:00Since we're both single,
01:08:01why don't we give a proper
01:08:02relationship a try?
01:08:03I only used to see her as a
01:08:05substitute, but if I really
01:08:06make her my official
01:08:07girlfriend, a queen of
01:08:09finance like her, she would
01:08:10be overwhelmed with
01:08:11gratitude and accept me.
01:08:13Give me a chance.
01:08:14Be my girlfriend.
01:08:16I'm sorry, Chairman Logan.
01:08:18I have a husband, and what he
01:08:20gives me is always the best.
01:08:22What?
01:08:23What did you say?
01:08:27Ava, this is impossible.
01:08:28All of New York knows you
01:08:29used to be madly in love with
01:08:30me.
01:08:31How could you possibly love
01:08:32someone else?
01:08:32This must be your way of
01:08:33getting back at me.
01:08:34The ring is fake?
01:08:35Your marriage is fake, right?
01:08:37Logan, your arrogance is as
01:08:38nauseating as ever.
01:08:40Put it there and get out, Ava.
01:08:42Don't think doing something will
01:08:44earn you my love.
01:08:45You're just a well-behaved
01:08:46bitch I keep, understand?
01:08:48So he always knew.
01:08:50He always knew how much the old
01:08:51Ava loved him, yet he took
01:08:53everything I gave for granted.
01:08:54Just because of that
01:08:55sponsorship back then, he treated
01:08:57me like a lowly slave, summoning
01:08:58and dismissed me at Willie.
01:09:03Alright, I know you're still
01:09:04angry with me.
01:09:06Is it because I made you take
01:09:07the blame for Elena's mistake
01:09:08all those years ago?
01:09:10Or because I made you move
01:09:11out of the villa?
01:09:12I'm not angry with you.
01:09:13It's just that all of that is
01:09:15in the past now.
01:09:16Listen, you can drop the act
01:09:17with that so-called contract
01:09:18boyfriend.
01:09:19I've completely broken things
01:09:20off with Elena.
01:09:21My patience is limited, Ava.
01:09:22Stop making a scene.
01:09:23I can give you a proper title.
01:09:25We can officially be boyfriend
01:09:26and girlfriend.
01:09:27Breaking up?
01:09:28Logan?
01:09:29You wanna dump me for this bitch?
01:09:31If I can't have you,
01:09:33no one will.
01:09:34Logan, take back your cheap charity.
01:09:37I've already told you,
01:09:39I have a husband,
01:09:40and he's 10,000 times
01:09:42better than you.
01:09:43There will never be a place
01:09:44for you in my world again.
01:09:46Tomorrow, I'm leaving New York
01:09:48for Los Angeles.
01:09:49We won't be seeing
01:09:51each other again.
01:09:52Leaving?
01:09:53You can't possibly refuse me.
01:09:55I know it.
01:09:57You must have found
01:09:58another so-called boyfriend
01:09:59to trick me again,
01:10:00just like before.
01:10:13It's you?
01:10:15Ava!
01:10:15You're still trying
01:10:16to seduce my husband?
01:10:18You vicious woman!
01:10:19Won't you be satisfied
01:10:20until you've driven me
01:10:21to my death?
01:10:23Me seducing your husband?
01:10:25What a joke.
01:10:26Everyone,
01:10:27come and look at this bitch.
01:10:28She used to cling
01:10:29to me and my husband
01:10:30like a stubborn piece of gum
01:10:31that wouldn't come off.
01:10:32Later, to climb the ladder,
01:10:34she shamelessly became
01:10:35Logan's secret mistress
01:10:36for five years,
01:10:37stubbornly staying in the villa
01:10:38and refusing to leave
01:10:39no matter what.
01:10:40Now Logan and I
01:10:41are about to get married,
01:10:42and she actually comes back
01:10:43to harass us
01:10:44like a persistent,
01:10:45low-class woman.
01:10:46Do you have any shame left?
01:10:48She looks so well-dressed,
01:10:51actually professional
01:10:52homewrecker.
01:10:53You really see
01:10:53all kinds of people
01:10:54these days.
01:10:55Women who get ahead
01:10:56through improper means
01:10:57have hearts
01:10:58as black as can be.
01:10:59You all be the judge.
01:11:01It's this woman
01:11:03who stole my
01:11:04vice president position
01:11:05and took everything
01:11:07from me.
01:11:07Now that I'm down and out,
01:11:09she comes back
01:11:09flaunting her designer clothes?
01:11:12Ava,
01:11:12why don't you just die,
01:11:13you evil woman?
01:11:15Let him go.
01:11:28You,
01:11:29you bitch,
01:11:30how dare you hit me?
01:11:31Since you love
01:11:31smearing me with dirt so much,
01:11:33this slap is what you deserve.
01:11:36Say one more word,
01:11:37and I'll make you
01:11:38suffer a terrible death.
01:11:42Elena,
01:11:43I don't care what kind
01:11:44of dirty entanglement
01:11:45you still have with Logan.
01:11:46That's your business.
01:11:48Stay away from me
01:11:49from now on.
01:11:51Ava,
01:11:52since you've Aldi
01:11:53rolled out of New York
01:11:53and out of my sight,
01:11:54why do you have to come
01:11:55like a haunting ghost?
01:11:57Elena,
01:11:58don't assume everyone
01:11:59is like you,
01:11:59only capable of
01:12:00clinging to a man.
01:12:01Stop pretending.
01:12:02You came back
01:12:03because you still love Logan
01:12:04and can't let go
01:12:05of his power and influence,
01:12:06right?
01:12:07So now you want to come
01:12:08and humbly be
01:12:08his secret mistress again,
01:12:10just like before,
01:12:11don't you?
01:12:11I won't accept
01:12:12a single word
01:12:12of your slander.
01:12:13I'm here for work.
01:12:14I have my own family
01:12:15and life.
01:12:16As for you,
01:12:17Elena,
01:12:18that pure,
01:12:19selfless,
01:12:19and above-worldy
01:12:20desires white moonlight
01:12:21persona you've
01:12:22meticulously built
01:12:23in for five years
01:12:23has completely crumbled
01:12:24to dust in front of Logan.
01:12:27Since you messed
01:12:28it up yourself,
01:12:29you should figure out
01:12:30a way to beg
01:12:31for his forgiveness
01:12:32yourself.
01:12:33Why come to take it
01:12:35out on an innocent me?
01:12:36I have no obligation
01:12:38to help a woman
01:12:39like you keep a man
01:12:40who's changed his heart.
01:12:43You bitch!
01:12:44Shut up!
01:12:53Logan!
01:12:54Why are you so cold to me?
01:12:56You won't even answer
01:12:57my calls?
01:12:58Is it all because
01:12:58of this woman?
01:13:00It's Ava who ruined
01:13:01the future we were
01:13:01supposed to have,
01:13:02isn't it?
01:13:03Elena, wake up.
01:13:04Ava never clung to me.
01:13:05She even finds the thought
01:13:07of seeing me repulsive.
01:13:08Everyone listen up.
01:13:10Elena and I
01:13:10are completely over.
01:13:12So they broke up
01:13:12a long time ago?
01:13:14Then what's this woman
01:13:15doing here
01:13:15pretending to be
01:13:16the rightful wife?
01:13:17No.
01:13:18Impossible.
01:13:19Why?
01:13:20Logan, you loved me
01:13:21so much back at Yale.
01:13:23You were even willing
01:13:23to defy your entire
01:13:24family for me.
01:13:25Why don't you love me
01:13:26anymore?
01:13:27Back then,
01:13:28funding you,
01:13:29even putting you
01:13:30in a high position,
01:13:32perhaps is all because
01:13:33I too arrogant.
01:13:35Perhaps what I loved
01:13:36before was just
01:13:36an illusion,
01:13:37a shadow I thought
01:13:39was real.
01:13:41After leaving Ava
01:13:42during countless
01:13:43sleepless nights,
01:13:45I realized
01:13:46that if I truly love
01:13:47is actually...
01:13:49Logan, you can't leave.
01:13:51You can't just kick me
01:13:52out like this.
01:13:53Get out of my sight
01:13:53immediately.
01:13:54Otherwise, I won't mind
01:13:55making you disappear
01:13:55from all of New York.
01:13:56Security, drag this
01:13:57crazy woman out.
01:13:58No, Logan, Ava,
01:14:00you bitch.
01:14:00I won't let you
01:14:01get away with this.
01:14:01I am the only one
01:14:02fit to be Mrs. Vanderbilt.
01:14:04Ava, I'm sorry.
01:14:07Logan, we're even now.
01:14:08There's no one
01:14:09who owes anyone
01:14:09an apology.
01:14:10No, Ava.
01:14:11I want to tell you
01:14:12I love you.
01:14:14It wasn't until
01:14:15you disappeared
01:14:16from my sight
01:14:17that I realized
01:14:17you're the one
01:14:18I love most
01:14:18in this life.
01:14:20Really?
01:14:21Back then,
01:14:22you liked Elena.
01:14:22You always took
01:14:23my efforts for granted,
01:14:25treated me like
01:14:25your slave.
01:14:26It's only now,
01:14:27after you've been together
01:14:28and grown tired
01:14:28of her despicable tricks,
01:14:30that you remember
01:14:30my good points.
01:14:31That's not true.
01:14:32Ava, it wasn't until
01:14:33I officially dated her
01:14:34that I realized
01:14:35how good you are.
01:14:36I started thinking
01:14:37about you like crazy,
01:14:39remembering every late night
01:14:40you stayed up with me,
01:14:41remembering that only
01:14:42you understood
01:14:42my ambitions.
01:14:43I couldn't see
01:14:44my own heart
01:14:44clearly before.
01:14:45It wasn't until
01:14:46I lost you
01:14:47that I understood
01:14:47the one I truly love
01:14:48is you.
01:14:49Ava, let's start over.
01:14:50Give us a real try,
01:14:51okay?
01:14:53Logan, I'm telling you
01:14:54for the last time,
01:14:55I'm already married.
01:14:58Married?
01:14:59Ava, you must be
01:15:00lying to me.
01:15:01Just like when you
01:15:02found a fake boyfriend
01:15:03in college to make
01:15:04me jealous, right?
01:15:05You must still have
01:15:06feelings for me.
01:15:07Otherwise, why would
01:15:07you go through all
01:15:08this trouble to make up
01:15:09such an absurd lie
01:15:10to deceive me?
01:15:12Logan, if you lay
01:15:14another hand on my wife,
01:15:15don't blame me
01:15:15for being polite.
01:15:16Let me introduce you.
01:15:18This is my husband,
01:15:19Liam, the global
01:15:21chairman of Liberty
01:15:21Financial.
01:15:22Husband, Liam, this
01:15:26can't be.
01:15:27How could this happen?
01:15:28Honey, this is
01:15:29Mr. Logan, the
01:15:30benefactor I mentioned
01:15:31before who supported
01:15:32me at Yale University
01:15:33and also my former
01:15:34friend.
01:15:35Mr. Logan, I've
01:15:36heard so much about
01:15:36you.
01:15:37My wife mentions you
01:15:38often.
01:15:41Enough!
01:15:43Ava, you're quite
01:15:44the actress to make
01:15:45me give up completely
01:15:46you even hired a
01:15:47stand-in, didn't you?
01:15:48Stop lying to me!
01:15:50You can only marry
01:15:51me!
01:15:51How could you marry
01:15:52someone else?
01:15:53Logan, I really want
01:15:54to thank you for your
01:15:54past support of Ava.
01:15:56Without your generosity
01:15:57back then, I wouldn't
01:15:58have had the chance to
01:15:59meet such a perfect
01:16:00wife.
01:16:00If the Vanderbilt
01:16:01group ever needs
01:16:02anything from me in
01:16:03the future, I'll be
01:16:04your service, as a
01:16:05way for my wife to
01:16:06repay your kindness.
01:16:07Logan, although I'm
01:16:09grateful for your
01:16:09support, it's really
01:16:10getting late.
01:16:11We have to catch our
01:16:12private jet back to
01:16:13Harbor City tomorrow, so
01:16:14we won't keep you
01:16:15any longer.
01:16:16Honey, let's go.
01:16:18Ava, are you really
01:16:21leaving tomorrow?
01:16:22Are you really going
01:16:23to leave my world
01:16:24completely?
01:16:25Yes.
01:16:25Goodbye, Mr. Logan.
01:16:44and I have to do and
01:16:45Goodbye, Mr. Robin.
01:16:45This is my story, sir.
01:16:47If you have no WiFi,
01:16:47How did you take it?
01:16:47Or do you see?
01:16:47Do you see?
01:16:51I'll be like,
01:16:51if you see.
01:16:51Give usora.
01:16:51Oh, sorry.
01:16:56How did you see that?
01:16:56I realize.
01:16:56We have a reallyheen.
01:17:01Honey, it's so early. Where are you going?
01:17:03Did I wake you?
01:17:06Be good, I'm going to get you breakfast.
01:17:12So diligent?
01:17:13Didn't you keep saying yesterday how much you liked the burgers here?
01:17:17Today's our last day here.
01:17:19I can't let you go back to Los Angeles with regrets, right?
01:17:23Thank you, honey. Come back soon.
01:17:30Honey, I'll personally take care of ending your troubles for you.
01:17:41So, what do you want to see me about?
01:17:4830 million dollars.
01:17:51Take this money and leave Ava for good.
01:17:54A woman at the pinnacle of finance like her is not someone an ordinary man like you, who relies on
01:17:59his looks, can aspire to.
01:18:00This money is enough for you to squagger for the rest of your life. Name your price, and stay away
01:18:05from her.
01:18:10You're telling me to leave Ava.
01:18:14What, not enough?
01:18:16Liam, don't play the top-tier tycoon in front of me. I've looked into you.
01:18:21Back at Yale University, you were just a poor student, barely scraping by on scholarships and part-time works.
01:18:27That ingrained poverty-straken air about you, you can't wash it off no matter how many suits you change into.
01:18:37For someone like you, who's already bankrupt and can't even afford the liquidation bills,
01:18:42these 30 million dollars are indeed enough for you to live like a nouveau riche in the slums for the
01:18:47rest of your life.
01:18:49You still only know how to measure everything with this filthy money.
01:18:54Ava choosing you is truly blind.
01:19:00Talking to me about money?
01:19:03Logan, back then you treated Ava as a substitute for Elena,
01:19:07summoning her at will and dismissing her just as easily.
01:19:10With those pitiful so-called funding resources and a few charity black cards,
01:19:14you actually thought you could buy out her entire five years of use and dignity.
01:19:19The moment you pushed her out to take the fall for that woman and left her to fend for herself
01:19:24in the rain,
01:19:25you completely lost the right to stand here and talk about her in that tone with me.
01:19:39What are you doing?
01:19:40Who gave you permission to touch my things?
01:19:43This is the Vanderbilt Group!
01:19:44Mr. Logan, we're finished.
01:19:46Because of those Shell Company guarantee slips Elena signed,
01:19:48plus the FBI case against her for selling sub-bedroom construction equipment privately,
01:19:52the court declared us officially bankrupt an hour ago.
01:19:54Bankrupt's impossible.
01:19:55When Ava was here, we were still the financial leader of Manhattan.
01:19:57How long has it been?
01:19:58How could we possibly go bankrupt?
01:20:00Get out!
01:20:01Don't touch my assets!
01:20:02This is my empire!
01:20:03Mr. Logan, please keep your distance.
01:20:05The liquidation process has already begun.
01:20:07If you continue to interfere with official duties,
01:20:09we will be forced to take action.
01:20:15I'm such a fool.
01:20:17Ava was clearly the one holding up the empire,
01:20:19and I kicked her out of the company to protect that useless waste, Elena.
01:20:32Elena just joined Vanderbilt Group.
01:20:34She is my chosen future wife,
01:20:35and her record absolutely cannot have any blemish.
01:20:44Fine.
01:20:46This one last time.
01:20:48I'll take the bullet for you one last time.
01:20:51If Ava were still here,
01:20:53the company wouldn't have collapsed.
01:20:55I'd still be that arrogant CEO.
01:20:57Now it's all gone.
01:20:59Logan, I have no interest in that position anymore.
01:21:02I spent five years by your side as a substitute,
01:21:04handling countless shady bad debts for you,
01:21:06and even took a bullet for Elena.
01:21:08The debts I owed have long been paid off.
01:21:09We are even now.
01:21:10I always felt that she owed me something,
01:21:11and that all the sacrifices she made were deserved.
01:21:14I was wrong.
01:21:14Ridiculously wrong.
01:21:20Chairman,
01:21:21I personally spent half a month in Silicon Valley
01:21:23to coach this sales genius, Carter.
01:21:26With him on board,
01:21:27no one can touch Vanderbilt's market share in North America.
01:21:31This man's background is indeed clean and formidable.
01:21:36And these offshore projects,
01:21:38I've been tracking them for two years.
01:21:40I've pinzily done all the risk assessments.
01:21:42As long as I'm here,
01:21:44none of your decisions will go wrong.
01:21:46If Ava were still by my side,
01:21:48I'd still be that top heir surrounded by admirers.
01:21:51She would have handled all the trouble.
01:21:56It wasn't until today that I realized
01:21:58the person who loved me most in this world
01:22:00was actually destroyed by my own hands.
01:22:07What is Elena?
01:22:08She's not even one ten thousandths of Ava.
01:22:10I've lost the most precious treasure in the world.
01:22:13No, I can't give up like this.
01:22:15I believe Ava still loves me.
01:22:16I have to find her,
01:22:18win her back.
01:22:19Ava!
01:22:20Don't go!
01:22:21Ava!
01:22:22Young man,
01:22:23you've got some nerve blocking my car.
01:22:24But you are quite a looker.
01:22:26I just got rid of my last boy toy, you know.
01:22:28If you behave,
01:22:29I might just take you under my wing.
01:22:31Get away from me!
01:22:33Don't you dare touch me with your filthy hands!
01:22:35Get lost!
01:22:36A down-and-out loser putting on airs?
01:22:39You don't know what's good for you.
01:22:47What's wrong?
01:22:50Nothing.
01:22:50I just remembered a really good restaurant.
01:22:52Let me take you there.
01:22:54Sure.
01:22:55Sure.
01:22:59You order first.
01:23:01I'm going to the restroom.
01:23:03Okay.
01:23:18Hello.
01:23:19This is the chairman of Vanderbilt.
01:23:21Who is this?
01:23:22This is Liam,
01:23:23chairman of Liberty Financial.
01:23:24Mr. Liam,
01:23:26what can I do for you with this sudden call?
01:23:28I think you should discipline your son Logan properly.
01:23:32Ava is my wife now,
01:23:33my beloved.
01:23:34And your son has been acting like a madman
01:23:36these past few days,
01:23:37severely disrupting our family life,
01:23:40even daring to challenge my bottom line.
01:23:43I understand what you mean.
01:23:45I'll handle it.
01:23:57Hey, Dad.
01:23:57You bastard.
01:23:58Do you have any idea who you're messing with?
01:24:00Ava is now the wife of Liam,
01:24:02the founder of the global financial giant Liberty Financial,
01:24:05a chairman worth hundreds of billions.
01:24:08What?
01:24:09Listen,
01:24:09if you want to keep your life,
01:24:11get your ass home right now.
01:24:12Otherwise,
01:24:13I'll announce today
01:24:14that I'm stripping you of all your inheritance rights
01:24:16and you're out of the Vanderbilt family for good.
01:24:21What?
01:24:22Liam?
01:24:23Is that mysterious mastermind behind Liberty?
01:24:26Impossible.
01:24:27Absolutely impossible.
01:24:28That man who just seemed to buy breakfast
01:24:29and take care of kids for Ava
01:24:31is actually the titan
01:24:32who holds the global financial lifeline
01:24:34worth hundreds of billions?
01:24:35I actually,
01:24:36I actually dared to think I could
01:24:37with a mere 30 million dollars.
01:24:39What the hell have I done?
01:24:48What the hell have I done?
01:24:55Elena,
01:24:56if that loser Logan knew you were keeping a man in his marital bed,
01:25:00wouldn't he go crazy on the spot?
01:25:03He's busy dealing with the FBI's bankruptcy investigation right now.
01:25:06How could he have the time to care about me?
01:25:09You're really ruthless.
01:25:10You emptied his overseas accounts,
01:25:12brought down his Vanderbilt group,
01:25:13and yet you secured a 50 million dollar escape proof for yourself.
01:25:16I do love this foolish man,
01:25:18but I only love his money.
01:25:19Now that he has no more use value,
01:25:21of course I need to find someone younger and more obedient.
01:25:23Elena!
01:25:24What are you doing?
01:25:27Have you no shame?
01:25:29Messing around in my villa,
01:25:31on my bed?
01:25:32You heartless woman!
01:25:33I was truly blind back then,
01:25:35to have abandoned ABBA for someone like you.
01:25:40Logan,
01:25:41have you lost your mind?
01:25:43I just brought a friend back to have some fun.
01:25:45Is it worth getting so worked up over?
01:25:47You're my fiancé!
01:25:49You're using my money to support other men,
01:25:50and you expect me not to be angry?
01:25:52Stop pretending to be so devoted.
01:25:54Back at Yale,
01:25:55I changed men every day,
01:25:56all funded by the money you gave me.
01:25:58Did you really think I loved you?
01:25:59I loved the Vanderbilt family behind you,
01:26:01the one that could buy me her mess,
01:26:02and get me to the Grammy Awards.
01:26:04Logan,
01:26:04this guy's a broke,
01:26:05debt-rended bankrupt up now.
01:26:06There's no need for us to waste words on him.
01:26:07You swindled all my money,
01:26:09and ruined the company!
01:26:10I'm going to send you to prison!
01:26:12Black has already helped me transfer the money out.
01:26:14He's my true love now,
01:26:16your history.
01:26:21I used to fawn over you like a dog,
01:26:23because you were supporting me.
01:26:25Now you're not even as good as a stray dog.
01:26:28What do you think you are?
01:26:32I paid for your college.
01:26:33I paid for you to come back and be vice president.
01:26:36For you,
01:26:37Ava left.
01:26:37My company is gone.
01:26:39How could you do this to me?
01:26:40That's because you were willing to be the sucker.
01:26:43Who's to blame for your stupidity?
01:26:45Now you don't have a single penny left.
01:26:47What gives you the right to tell me what to do?
01:26:49Black,
01:26:49let's go.
01:26:50This place reeks of sour failure.
01:26:52Let's find another hotel to continue.
01:26:54You got it.
01:26:55I'll make sure to serve my queen well today.
01:26:58Stop!
01:26:59Give back all the money you swindled from me,
01:27:01every single cent I ever spent on you.
01:27:04Dream on.
01:27:05That's the compensation you owe me for my youth.
01:27:07Get lost.
01:27:08Ava,
01:27:09I was wrong.
01:27:10It turns out you were the only one in this world
01:27:12who truly cared for me,
01:27:12and I lost the woman who loved me most in life.
01:27:15Elena,
01:27:16you ruined me.
01:27:18And I swear I won't let you get away with it.
01:27:32Ava,
01:27:33I just received news from Hei Cheng.
01:27:34The Vanderbilt Group has been completely liquidated
01:27:37due to the failure of several fatal gambling agreements,
01:27:39plus the major engineering accident
01:27:41caused by the batch of construction equipment
01:27:42Elena was responsible for.
01:27:44Hmm.
01:27:45Aren't you the least bit curious?
01:27:48Without you,
01:27:48the anchor that held everything together,
01:27:50that empire once hailed as unsinkable,
01:27:52has collapsed so quickly.
01:27:54It's not surprising at all.
01:27:56From the moment I walked out of that office,
01:27:59Logan and his company have been nothing
01:28:00but a moldy old debt in my life.
01:28:02If it's trash,
01:28:03it's only a matter of time before it gets cleaned up.
01:28:06There's something even more interesting.
01:28:08Logan,
01:28:09driven by extreme hatred
01:28:10because Elena took his last life string
01:28:12and publicly humiliated him,
01:28:14killed Elena on the streets of Manhattan.
01:28:16He's facing the most severe charges.
01:28:20He has only himself to blame for falling to the state,
01:28:23for loving a poison he shouldn't have.
01:28:25But the people and things in that ruin
01:28:27have nothing to do with me anymore.
01:28:29All I want now is to build our life well.
01:28:31Right.
01:28:34But tonight,
01:28:35we have an important topic to discuss.
01:28:38I haven't heard about any meeting tonight.
01:28:41The topic I'm talking about
01:28:43is how many lively and adorable little babies
01:28:46we're going to have.
