00:00:00I'll give you the life of the moon
00:00:07And a ship to sail across the ocean
00:00:09Come join me soon, I'll be waiting
00:00:12I'm waiting, but don't make me wait too long
00:00:16I'll give you the colors of the rainbow
00:00:31Again?
00:00:33Ms. Montgomery, we've fallen on hard times at Montgomery Group and I can't shoulder the load alone.
00:00:37We really need you to come back as CEO and take control of everything again.
00:00:41Please come back, Ms. Montgomery. The company needs you.
00:00:44I'm sure you are more than capable of riding the ship on your own.
00:00:48Right now I'm focused on being Milo's wife.
00:00:51And he doesn't know who I am yet.
00:00:54I need to sit here and help him fulfill his entrepreneurial dreams.
00:00:59Why not just personally invest a billion dollars in your husband's company? That would solve everything.
00:01:04No. He's too proud for that.
00:01:07He'll feel inferior if I reveal my identity.
00:01:11That reminds me. Are you guys all ready for the gala tonight?
00:01:15Yes, ma'am. Ecologic CEO Kane Hudson will be there to announce his billion dollar investment in your husband's research.
00:01:23Good. Oh, and don't ask me again.
00:01:27Oh.
00:01:56She must be the bride from find a wife dot com.
00:01:58If I can just marry her, Grandpa will finally stop trying to play matchmaker for me.
00:02:06It's nice to meet you.
00:02:08Kane Hudson.
00:02:10You know the deets. Stanford grad.
00:02:13Founder of the new energy tech company Ecologics.
00:02:16Thirty billion dollar net worth.
00:02:18Wait. That's Kane?
00:02:21He's actually kind of hot.
00:02:23There. No degree. Front desk reception at this hotel.
00:02:27Sixteen dollars an hour.
00:02:29You work at the front desk here?
00:02:32Is there something wrong with that?
00:02:34Whatever. As long as it stops my grandpa from nagging.
00:02:38I'll marry anything with a heart.
00:02:40Oh, come on. Let's go tie the knot.
00:02:43Tie the knot?
00:02:45As in you and me?
00:02:49Well, if we go right now to the clerk's office, I should be able to make it for tonight's gala.
00:02:55Look, whatever this is, it's not happening.
00:02:59I'm married.
00:03:01Happily, I might add.
00:03:04Wait. Am I not paying you enough?
00:03:07Fine. If you promise to marry me, I'll transfer a million dollars into your bank account right now.
00:03:14That kind of money means nothing to me.
00:03:18Boss, we're in deep shit.
00:03:20A war just broke out overseas, and one of our top suppliers has cut off all our exports.
00:03:25There will be huge losses if we can't deliver our new energy products on time.
00:03:29Okay, I want you to resell all of our current money-making projects at a low price.
00:03:33And I want you to buy all the materials at a high cost from other companies.
00:03:36Even if we don't make any money, we have to deliver on time.
00:03:40Hold up.
00:03:43I just got word that in about ten minutes, multiple countries will be announcing the discovery of new first-class raw materials.
00:03:52Soon you'll have both cheap and high-quality materials to use.
00:03:56And where would a hotel receptionist get their hands on this highly classified information?
00:04:02Well, I guess we'll just have to wait ten minutes and find out.
00:04:06Scratch what I just said. We'll reassess in ten minutes.
00:04:11If I lose money on this, you're going to wish you kept that mouth shut.
00:04:15Well, then it's a good thing I need something from you.
00:04:17Otherwise, I'd just laugh at your company's downfall.
00:04:28Claire, oh my god. I have some good news for you.
00:04:30Hit me.
00:04:31Milo booked the most expensive suite in the entire hotel.
00:04:34He asked me to decorate the floor with roses and decorate the entire room with candles.
00:04:39I'm telling you, you have a surprise waiting.
00:04:42He remembered our three-year anniversary?
00:04:44What's the room number?
00:04:52The check-out time on this room is 11.30.
00:04:59Why didn't he invite me up soon?
00:05:01Maybe he's still asleep?
00:05:04I'll go check.
00:05:09Okay.
00:05:25Milo, is this that receptionist wife of yours?
00:05:29She could learn a thing or two about skincare. She looks all saggy and gross.
00:05:33Of course she can't compare to you, my dear.
00:05:35She's basically a free housemaid.
00:05:37Skincare would be above her pay grade.
00:05:39Come on. Let's go.
00:05:43You owe me an explanation.
00:05:48Just look at the facts, Claire.
00:05:50I'm a VIP guest here and you're nothing but a lowly receptionist.
00:05:52Need I say more?
00:05:54You really booked a room with this woman on our three-year anniversary?
00:06:00Do our wedding vows mean nothing to you?
00:06:04That's just some shit we said three years ago.
00:06:06I never would have married you if you hadn't promised to take care of me when I was dead broke.
00:06:09Milo, only an idiot like you would fall for someone so repulsive.
00:06:13Look, I was young and naive.
00:06:15Plus, I'll be divorced soon.
00:06:19Did you just say divorced?
00:06:21You heard me. I'm over you.
00:06:23I get depressed just thinking about coming home to your wrinkly face.
00:06:26Now that I've made it big, I can bag any town I want.
00:06:29Why would I waste my time with a four like you?
00:06:36Tony, talk to me.
00:06:38Boss, several countries have just discovered a rich supply of first-class raw materials
00:06:42and are going to export them overseas. We're saved.
00:06:45In minutes, just like she said.
00:06:47How the hell did she know this?
00:06:49Okay, Tony, I need you to look into somebody.
00:06:53I gave up a comfortable life for you.
00:06:56I sacrificed so much and this...
00:07:00This is how you repay me?
00:07:02I'm the only reason you live in a luxury apartment.
00:07:05Without me, you'd be scraping by in some shithole slum.
00:07:08Milo is a giant in the medical world.
00:07:10His blood testing for cancer is nearing a breakthrough.
00:07:13And once he succeeds, he'll be saving millions of lives.
00:07:16A desk worker like you doesn't belong in his circle.
00:07:19Yeah, you hear that? Peasants don't mingle with the social elite.
00:07:23Stella, however, is perfectly good at my status.
00:07:26Seriously?
00:07:28I paid for all of your daily expenses so that you could finish your research.
00:07:33I ran around finding you investments and networking.
00:07:38To this day, all of your achievements are due to my generosity.
00:07:44I mean, if anything, the real peasant is you.
00:07:48You think you can take credit for everything?
00:07:50I got to where I am on my own talent and perseverance.
00:07:53The only thing you helped me with was housework.
00:08:00Milo, watch what you say to her.
00:08:02Do you really enjoy spending your time with these lowlifes?
00:08:05Stella over here is on good terms with top employee Tony at Ecologics.
00:08:10She secured me a billion dollar investment.
00:08:12It's more than you could ever dream of doing for me.
00:08:14I am the one who told Mr. Hudson to give you that money.
00:08:19I am the one who planned the gala for tonight where he will be announcing his investment.
00:08:25Otherwise, Cain would have never given you the time of day.
00:08:30Are we talking about the same Cain Hudson here?
00:08:32The man's a god in the new energy industry.
00:08:34He makes more in ten minutes than you do in ten lifetimes.
00:08:37Why the hell would he listen to you?
00:08:40Miles, if you would have let me, I could have turned you into a god of your own.
00:08:46This is your loss.
00:08:49Why are you so bitter?
00:08:51Let me guess, you're after my money?
00:08:55Here, there's 50,000 on this bank card.
00:09:00Consider it your salary for the last three years of housekeeping.
00:09:04And from this day on, you're no longer my wife.
00:09:1150 grand.
00:09:13Everything that I've done for you is only worth 50 grand.
00:09:18If you're going to get greedy and try to negotiate, I won't give you anything.
00:09:22I only did it because I pity you.
00:09:24I'm sorry.
00:09:26I only did it because I pity you.
00:09:28I make more money than this in my sleep.
00:09:39You crazy bitch.
00:09:41Yeah, I am crazy. Crazy for wasting my time with you.
00:09:48Milo, I am taking back everything that I've given you.
00:09:51Which, if I do remember correctly, is literally everything you have.
00:09:56Your empty threats aren't going to make me stay with you.
00:10:03This is yours now.
00:10:08I'll tell you the full truth at the gala.
00:10:10I hope you won't regret anything.
00:10:13Regrets?
00:10:15Divorcing you is the greatest decision I ever made in my whole life.
00:10:18There we are.
00:10:19Enough chit-chatting with this blue collar trash.
00:10:22Let's go buy you a new outfit for the gala.
00:10:25That's a great idea. Let's go.
00:10:30Claire, forget about those assholes.
00:10:33Yeah, no, I'm fine.
00:10:36Go ahead and get back to work.
00:10:44If you want, I can cancel the gala and ruin your ex's night.
00:10:49You've worked really, really hard to accomplish this.
00:10:54I would hate to cancel the gala because of my relationship drama.
00:10:59Collaborating with Montgomery Group was a big dream of mine.
00:11:03But you helped me out of a serious pickle. Like it or not, I owe you one.
00:11:08Milo is one of Montgomery's key investments.
00:11:12Canceling the gala will not sit well with him.
00:11:15I researched his so-called blood test for cancer.
00:11:19He's lacking reliable scientific data.
00:11:22Seems like a well-programmed pseudoscience.
00:11:26I suspect that he's going to use this to swindle investment funds.
00:11:31And what exactly do you plan to do about that?
00:11:35I want you to marry me.
00:11:37Then we can announce publicly in the gala.
00:11:40And you can tell everyone about Montgomery.
00:11:43And you can tell everyone about Montgomery.
00:11:45And how they're not going to invest with Milo anymore.
00:11:48I'm sure he'd love that. And his mistress.
00:11:55You're not going to sweep me off my feet by proposing like that.
00:12:00Oh, and for tonight's gala, I'm the one calling the shots.
00:12:08How about this? You stick by my side at the gala. Follow my orders.
00:12:14If you do a good job, I might help you.
00:12:17Do you know who I am? If anything, I should be helping you out.
00:12:21Well, you are very impressive. But you and I are not on the same level.
00:12:26Well, let's see then. I'm curious what kind of help you want to give me.
00:12:32You want to give me.
00:12:46Hey, come on. I can take you home.
00:12:49Thank you, but I'm okay. I have some private matters to attend to.
00:12:53You know, you'll be my passenger princess sooner or later.
00:13:03Didn't my son dump you? If you're here trying to get him back, don't bother.
00:13:10I just came to grab a few things.
00:13:13Here.
00:13:16While we're at it, you can have Milo sign those.
00:13:18You're just in time. You're about to throw your crap in the trash.
00:13:33There.
00:13:37The agreement's signed and you have your stuff.
00:13:40Now get out and never come back.
00:13:51Yep. Yeah, there's 20. Bye-bye.
00:13:56Boss, I found some information on that woman. Her name's Claire Montgomery.
00:14:01Montgomery?
00:14:02Yeah. She's not with the Montgomery group. Just happens to have the same last name.
00:14:07An ordinary receptionist is going up against Milo Preston?
00:14:11She's got some guts, I'll give her that.
00:14:13Get the car. We're going to see her.
00:14:16If you break my things, then you're going to break your bank too trying to pay me back.
00:14:23It's just a bunch of cheap stuff anyway. Who cares if it breaks?
00:14:32Give me the necklace. Fat chance. It looks way better on me.
00:14:38And someone in your line of business can't afford such expensive things.
00:14:43You must have stolen from us who have bought it.
00:14:46I bought that necklace with my own money.
00:14:48Oh, the hell you did.
00:14:51I could spend your entire monthly salary just in the hair salon.
00:14:56There's no way that you bought it.
00:14:58There's no way that you bought it.
00:15:00Tell me, do you really take our money, Claire?
00:15:04Wouldn't you like to know? Look, just give me back the necklace.
00:15:08I will not ask nicely next time.
00:15:14If you want it, take it.
00:15:20Take your hands off my sister, you human villain.
00:15:29Claire.
00:15:43If anybody hurts her, I'll break their wrist.
00:15:47Wow. Well, look what Claire found. I guess this explains her newfound confidence.
00:15:53But then again, once a whore, always a whore.
00:15:56Tony, shut her up.
00:15:57Open your mouth one more time and I'll shut it for you.
00:16:01You're banging this guy in exchange for protection? Gross.
00:16:07I need my necklace.
00:16:39Thank you for driving me home.
00:16:42I'll see you tonight.
00:16:43Wait.
00:16:49Oh, I could do it.
00:16:52Don't move.
00:16:56Don't move.
00:17:04Let me drive you to the gala tonight.
00:17:07I have a ride.
00:17:17Boss, you know I can't find any other information on her.
00:17:22I make more money than this in my sleep.
00:17:25I just got word that in about ten minutes...
00:17:28Ten minutes, just like she said.
00:17:30I need my necklace.
00:17:32If she's wearing jewelry like that and she's able to predict the discovery of new raw materials, she's not just an ordinary woman.
00:17:37Keep looking.
00:17:39I gotta know who she is.
00:17:41Got it, boss.
00:17:43What?
00:17:54It's good to see you, Ms. Montgomery.
00:17:56From this day forward, I'll be retaking control of Montgomery.
00:18:01Then should we cancel the gala?
00:18:03No. I want to see the look on Milo's face when he realizes what he's done.
00:18:09I wasted too much time on that greasy bitch.
00:18:13It's time for me to become Claire Montgomery.
00:18:18And of course, the scuba diving is lovely there, but I'm not gonna vacation in the same place twice.
00:18:22Mr. Preston, congrats on the investment from Ecologic. This will be a game changer for your cancer testing research.
00:18:27Yeah. I mean, Ecologics is the world's leading new energy company.
00:18:31What's their output? Ten billion a year?
00:18:34With Mr. Hudson's backing, you've got a bright future ahead of you.
00:18:38I appreciate your support.
00:18:40Everyone here played a role in this achievement. We celebrate together.
00:18:45Hey, is it true that you got divorced?
00:18:49It is. And if his ex-wife hadn't been holding him back for three years, this day would have come a whole lot sooner.
00:18:57Not coming anywhere in her life? She wasn't worth a second of my love.
00:19:00I consider divorcing her a step in the direction of success.
00:19:05Now you got me curious about her. What does she look like?
00:19:09Don't get your hopes up.
00:19:11It's actually hilarious how ugly she is.
00:19:16Smilo.
00:19:19Wait!
00:19:35Hello, skank. This is a private gala. And guess what? You're not allowed.
00:19:41Excuse me? And where does it say that I can't be here?
00:19:45Claire, we're over. Just leave me alone.
00:19:48If you had any self-awareness, you would know how sad it looks trying to get me back.
00:19:52The only thing sad is you, naked with the light on.
00:19:56I'm here to show these people what a fucking fraud you are.
00:20:04How dare you insult my son?
00:20:09Milo is well packaged.
00:20:17You absolute link of poverty.
00:20:23That weak little slap is nothing compared to the pain and agony you feel.
00:20:30Your threats mean nothing to us.
00:20:32And the people here, we're movers and shakers.
00:20:35That guy that you're banging ain't gonna give you any help.
00:20:39Are you trying to get slapped too?
00:20:43Where's your sugar daddy, Claire?
00:20:46I bet you thought he was gonna come here and save you.
00:20:49I could take you both on my own.
00:20:52You think my power comes from a man?
00:20:55If only you knew.
00:20:56Man, I'm glad I divorced you.
00:20:58I knew you were stupid. But I didn't realize how easy you were.
00:21:01I don't even want to know your body count now that we've split up.
00:21:04Oh, that's rich coming from you.
00:21:07You're the one who cheated on me when we were still married.
00:21:10That's different.
00:21:11Stella has taken my career to new heights.
00:21:14You're a useless housewife.
00:21:16I'd be crazy not to choose her over you.
00:21:18The real you is an asshole.
00:21:22I never should have spent so much time getting you investments and paving your way to the top.
00:21:27I wasted three years.
00:21:32You're a liar.
00:21:37I was the one slaving away to get Milo these opportunities.
00:21:39You did nothing for him.
00:21:41Yeah, Stella's uncle is the CFO of Montgomery Group.
00:21:44Only she can get the support that Milo deserves.
00:21:47True that. Claire's just lashing out out of jealousy.
00:21:53I was the one who secured all of your investments and research opportunities over the past few years.
00:21:58Including the investment on Ecologix.
00:22:00Don't fall for her bullshit.
00:22:02Relax. I was with her long enough to know how useless she is.
00:22:05As long as I can play my uncle as the CFO card, no one's going to get me.
00:22:11I'll say this once. Leave the gala before things get messy.
00:22:16You're the one who has no business here.
00:22:19I already told King to cancel the investment.
00:22:22You're not getting another cent, Ecologix.
00:22:25Sorry for the wait.
00:22:31Evening, folks. I'm Gideon Ford, Executive Assistant of Ecologix.
00:22:36I'm here on our CEO's account to present this agreement with the gala's host.
00:22:43Hear that?
00:22:45And you thought he canceled the investment.
00:22:47Not on my watch, bitch.
00:22:49And what makes you think he's going to cancel the investment?
00:22:52Not on my watch, bitch.
00:22:54And what makes you so sure that this agreement is for you?
00:23:00Boss, we just got a complaint about our investigation into Claire.
00:23:04We have no choice but to shut it down.
00:23:07Interesting. She's definitely piqued my interest.
00:23:10Has she arrived at the gala?
00:23:12She's there. Gideon's about to deliver the agreement.
00:23:15Should we trust Claire?
00:23:17With our lives.
00:23:19Who else would it be for?
00:23:21Not some minimum wage hotel worker.
00:23:25Mr. Ford, just to confirm, that's Mr. Hudson's investment agreement you got there?
00:23:31That's right.
00:23:32Well, that settles it.
00:23:34Your cute little games are over.
00:23:36I'm heading to the top.
00:23:39I'm so proud of you, babe.
00:23:42Don't get too excited.
00:23:44This agreement was invalidated ten minutes ago.
00:23:50Do you really think you can influence Kane's decisions?
00:23:54Get real.
00:23:56You'd only be let through the doors at Ecologics as a janitor.
00:23:59Mr. Ford, please, read us the contents of the agreement.
00:24:03Sir, you are not authorized to view the agreement's terms.
00:24:07I'm the host of the gala.
00:24:09If anyone's authorized, it's me.
00:24:15Miss Montgomery?
00:24:17Miss Montgomery?
00:24:19The fate of that agreement is for you to decide.
00:24:22Gideon.
00:24:24She's not involved in the Montgomery Group.
00:24:26She just happens to have the same last name as the CEO.
00:24:29Don't involve her in this.
00:24:32No, he meant what he said.
00:24:33Whether this agreement will be voided or not, isn't.
00:24:37Do you know how important this is?
00:24:39If I sign that paper, I'll be one of the most successful entrepreneurs overnight.
00:24:43It's gonna change my life.
00:24:45You really need to think about this.
00:24:49Stop!
00:24:53What are you doing?
00:25:03I told you I would take back everything.
00:25:05This is just the beginning.
00:25:09You're the executive assistant at Ecologix.
00:25:11You should know how important that agreement was.
00:25:16Like I said, the fate of that agreement lies on Miss Montgomery's hands.
00:25:20It's not yours to decide.
00:25:22So you slept with this guy too, huh?
00:25:25Jesus, Claire, nothing's broken here.
00:25:32You've got some nerve talking to Miss Montgomery like that.
00:25:35You've got some nerve talking to Miss Montgomery like that.
00:25:37Okay, now I'm really ticked off.
00:25:41Guys, get these two out of here.
00:25:51Come on.
00:25:53Come on, try me!
00:26:06Come on.
00:26:13Hey, listen.
00:26:14Your CEO is the one that organized this whole gala for me.
00:26:17And now you're teaming up with Claire and letting her tear up my agreement?
00:26:21When Mr. Hudson gets here, I'm gonna tell him everything.
00:26:24Wow, you really don't get it yet, do you?
00:26:27Shut your mouth and go back to your hotel desk.
00:26:31Leave my agreements alone.
00:26:35Ah!
00:26:45Mr. Hudson's here.
00:26:47Now you're finished.
00:26:49Speak for yourself.
00:26:51Waging a war on my turf?
00:26:53You're gonna wish you were dead.
00:27:06Mr. Hudson's here.
00:27:13Milo, doesn't that guy look familiar?
00:27:17Oh, that's right, it's Claire's little sugar daddy.
00:27:20Yep, that's him.
00:27:22Calling in your new fling to impersonate Mr. Hudson?
00:27:25Nice try, Claire.
00:27:27You fool.
00:27:29Mr. Hudson's the energy king.
00:27:31This guy you brought with you is some kind of lawless barbarian.
00:27:35Ah!
00:27:37Oh, no.
00:27:39You figured me out.
00:27:42What am I gonna do?
00:27:44What's an asshole like you doing in a place like this?
00:27:46As if trespassing on our property isn't enough.
00:27:49Fine, stay.
00:27:52We're gonna teach you a lesson.
00:27:55Yeah, I'd love to see you try.
00:27:57Do they really not know what Mr. Hudson looks like?
00:28:00The Preston family are a bunch of idiots.
00:28:02They don't even recognize the energy king.
00:28:06Hey, people!
00:28:09Are we going to greet my boss or not?
00:28:18Welcome, Mr. Hudson.
00:28:19It's great to see you.
00:28:20Thanks for coming, boss.
00:28:26What's going on here?
00:28:28Wait.
00:28:29Is that guy really Mr. Hudson?
00:28:31That's right.
00:28:32You are looking at the CEO of Ecologics.
00:28:38Kane Hudson.
00:28:44You're right.
00:28:45She's just a glorified servant.
00:28:46No way does she know Kane Hudson.
00:28:47What are you muttering about?
00:28:49You asked to see my boss.
00:28:50Here he is.
00:28:53Mr. Hudson is a trusted partner with the Preston family.
00:28:56Today, when he stooped so low as to join forces with my shitty ex-wife.
00:29:01Milo, you dipshit.
00:29:03That guy literally is Kane Hudson.
00:29:06What?
00:29:07No.
00:29:13Are you really Mr. Hudson?
00:29:16Oh my god.
00:29:20Mr. Hudson, please forgive my ignorance.
00:29:23And on behalf of the entire Preston family, please accept our sincerest apologies.
00:29:27I'm not the one you owe an apology.
00:29:33Go on.
00:29:34I'd love to hear what you have to apologize for.
00:29:38Sorry.
00:29:40You're going to have to do much better than that.
00:29:45Effective immediately.
00:29:46Ecologics is withdrawing its billion dollar investment with Milo's research.
00:29:50And officially ending our business relationship with the Preston family.
00:29:54He's withdrawing the investment without my consent?
00:29:57Shouldn't he be afraid of stirring up trouble with the Montgomery group?
00:30:00I'm sorry to be mysterious, Ms. Montgomery.
00:30:02I'll explain everything later.
00:30:04Wait.
00:30:05We're making a mistake here.
00:30:07Let's talk this over.
00:30:09A little late for negotiating, don't you think?
00:30:12God, you just never quit.
00:30:14What kind of spell do you have this guy under?
00:30:21You scumbag.
00:30:23You know Claire's the one that asked me to invest a billion dollars with you.
00:30:26But since you divorced her, I have no reason to help.
00:30:29Wait.
00:30:30You knew that I requested Milo's investment?
00:30:34Shh.
00:30:35I'm just pulling his leg.
00:30:36Trust me.
00:30:37It'll make you look good.
00:30:38Fine.
00:30:40You're not wrong anyway.
00:30:41I don't understand why you're helping her.
00:30:44You're the energy king.
00:30:46You can score with the sexiest babes in the world.
00:30:48Why settle for a throwaway like her?
00:30:52Mr. Hudson, this chick has you hoodwinked.
00:30:54She's just a poor, uneducated laborer.
00:30:57Stella's right.
00:30:58And I hope you're not just in it for the ass.
00:31:02I'd rather fuck a sex doll.
00:31:06A sex doll is the only action a short, scrawny loser like you will ever get.
00:31:12Don't get a big head, Claire.
00:31:13He's clearly just using you.
00:31:15Is that jealousy that I'm sensing?
00:31:27I should thank you.
00:31:28If it wasn't for you, I might have missed my chance with Claire.
00:31:33It's a shame you couldn't appreciate her.
00:31:35I'm sorry.
00:31:36I'm sorry.
00:31:37I'm sorry.
00:31:38I'm sorry.
00:31:39I'm sorry.
00:31:40It's a shame you couldn't appreciate her strengths.
00:31:43Thanks for divorcing me, Milo.
00:31:45Otherwise, I never would have met someone so much more talented, handsome, and loving than you ever were.
00:31:54Don't be so naive, Claire.
00:31:55He's only with you to hit it and quit it.
00:31:57A high flyer like that would never look at you as marriage material.
00:32:00Yeah.
00:32:01Guys from rich families can't just take home any old bitch.
00:32:04Imagine the look on his mother's face if he tried to ask for his hand.
00:32:08Actually, I think my mother would approve.
00:32:12Claire, if you want to marry me, I'm all yours.
00:32:20Mr. Hudson, she's just in it for your money.
00:32:23It doesn't matter to me.
00:32:24You need to think this over.
00:32:26This woman is going to scam you out of your money, sabotage your work projects, and take down your entire business.
00:32:31I don't need to think anything over.
00:32:33I know Claire way better than you do.
00:32:35Way better than you do.
00:32:46You can trust me, Mr. Hudson.
00:32:47If you invest in me, I'll complete my groundbreaking cancer testing research, and I'll repay you generously for your support.
00:32:53Wake up, Milo.
00:32:55You're not going to be the guy that cures cancer.
00:33:03Shut your mouth!
00:33:04What the hell do you know?
00:33:05You didn't even go to college.
00:33:06You're just jealous because Milo's a genius.
00:33:09Right.
00:33:10Because needing my help to get investments for three years makes him a genius.
00:33:14Your help.
00:33:15You might know how to seduce guys, but when it comes to networking and connections, you are no match for me.
00:33:20Oh.
00:33:21Well then, I cannot wait to see how you get Milo out of this mess.
00:33:27And I can't wait to see what other cheap tricks you have up your sleeve.
00:33:34Yes, this is Milo.
00:33:36What?
00:33:37You're withdrawing your investment funds?
00:33:41No, no, no.
00:33:42Please.
00:33:43Please don't do that.
00:33:44Okay, no, I'm begging you.
00:33:46These funds are important to my re-
00:33:48What?
00:33:49What happened?
00:33:51My investment money.
00:33:53It's all gone.
00:33:54Impossible.
00:33:55Those investors are friends of my uncle.
00:33:57What did you do?
00:34:00Claire.
00:34:02Let's get out of here.
00:34:03You don't leave until I say so.
00:34:08If you hurt Claire, you're gonna regret it.
00:34:22Claire.
00:34:24I'm so sorry.
00:34:25I've been terrible to you.
00:34:27Remember those three happy years we shared?
00:34:31Please.
00:34:32Just forgive me.
00:34:34Milo, what are you doing?
00:34:35You look pathetic.
00:34:37Don't touch me.
00:34:39You and that uncle of yours have ruined my career.
00:34:43Claire.
00:34:46If you can get the investors to reverse their decision,
00:34:50I'll break up with Stella.
00:34:54I still love you.
00:34:56I mean it.
00:34:57Really?
00:34:58Really?
00:35:01Claire.
00:35:03It's Bluffy.
00:35:04I knew you'd not listen.
00:35:08You can't fool me with your last minute begging.
00:35:11Milo, I don't believe a word that comes out of your mouth.
00:35:18Let's go.
00:35:24Oh, you petty bitch.
00:35:25You think you can take on me?
00:35:28Just wait and see.
00:35:34Great acting back there.
00:35:36You know, for a second, I almost believed you actually loved me.
00:35:41I wasn't acting.
00:35:43I meant everything I said in there.
00:35:47I fell for Milo's lies.
00:35:49I'm sure as hell not gonna fall for yours.
00:35:53Goodnight, Kate.
00:35:59You were right to end things with Milo.
00:36:02Now you can start fresh.
00:36:04I gave the green light to Kate for everything you did today.
00:36:07This doesn't change where he stands with us.
00:36:09Understood.
00:36:11Also,
00:36:13in three days, I'll be holding an event to announce my return to Montgomery Group.
00:36:20God damn it!
00:36:21How did this happen?
00:36:23Even my mom left!
00:36:29Milo, don't worry. We'll find a way out of this.
00:36:32I'm sorry, Stella.
00:36:35You know I would never leave you.
00:36:37I just wanted my investment money back.
00:36:44Kane Hudson!
00:36:46You get over here now!
00:36:51Wait.
00:36:52Aren't you Eliza Reed?
00:36:54The Reed family heiress?
00:36:55I am indeed the Reed family heiress.
00:36:58And Kane Hudson's fiancé.
00:37:03Milo, go introduce yourself.
00:37:04She's loaded. Right up there with Miss Montgomery.
00:37:11Miss Reed.
00:37:12It's an absolute pleasure.
00:37:14I'm Milo Preston.
00:37:16You mean the genius behind the cutting-edge cancer testing research?
00:37:21That's me.
00:37:22He's backed by the Montgomery Group.
00:37:25Partnering with him might be my shot at finally landing that collaboration with the Montgomery's.
00:37:30Well, I've heard very impressive things about you.
00:37:32I would love to explore potential collaboration.
00:37:36I've been looking forward to meeting you.
00:37:38And did you say Kane was your fiancé?
00:37:41Yes.
00:37:42Have you guys seen him?
00:37:44Why, yes.
00:37:45He has a unique relationship with my ex-wife.
00:37:49He recently canceled a one billion dollar investment because of her.
00:37:53What did you just say?
00:37:55He canceled an investment because of your ex-wife?
00:38:02Yes.
00:38:03He even said he's going to marry her.
00:38:06I don't know what kind of spell that witch put on him.
00:38:09You two have been taken for fools.
00:38:13What?
00:38:15Miss Reed, what do you mean we've been taken for fools?
00:38:17That investment was not from Kane at all.
00:38:20Kane's the one that organized this whole gala for me.
00:38:22It's not his money.
00:38:23It's insider information.
00:38:25For the past three years, your research has been all fast tracked
00:38:28thanks to the quiet backing of the Montgomery Group.
00:38:32What? The Montgomery Group has been behind me the whole time?
00:38:35Exactly.
00:38:37The galas, the billion dollar investments, all Montgomery Group.
00:38:42Oh, I knew it!
00:38:44A genius like me can't go unnoticed.
00:38:46So Kane and that conniving bitch Claire have been playing us this whole time.
00:38:49Fine. I won't let Kane call off our engagement that easily.
00:38:53Miss Reed, if there's any way we can help, please just say the word.
00:38:57You want your investment money back?
00:38:58Of course.
00:39:02How?
00:39:03Go straight to the Montgomery Group and expose Kane's lies.
00:39:13Boss, canceling Milo's investment like that?
00:39:15You sure the Montgomery Group is going to let this slide?
00:39:17Look, I know what I'm doing, okay?
00:39:19I'll talk to their CEO myself.
00:39:26Mr. Hudson, I just heard about your move at the gala.
00:39:28Look, Mr. Duncan, let me explain.
00:39:30No need.
00:39:31I'm fully behind you.
00:39:33Oh, you are?
00:39:35Of course.
00:39:36That is our CEO's decision.
00:39:38In fact, they want you to come by headquarters.
00:39:40They have a gift for you.
00:39:42I'll be there. Thank you.
00:39:43Miss Montgomery, I've invited Kane to headquarters as you requested.
00:39:47Kane, don't be startled when you learn my real identity.
00:39:54Well, look at that.
00:39:55Now we don't have to deal with any backlash from the Montgomery Group.
00:40:00Are you really going to toss me aside for some nobody?
00:40:06Eliza, we're done here.
00:40:08Don't you forget.
00:40:09Our engagement was a ruse.
00:40:11Don't you forget.
00:40:12Our engagement was arranged by your grandfather.
00:40:15I can marry whoever I want.
00:40:17Well, that may be true for ordinary people.
00:40:20But you and I both know how this game is played.
00:40:22Our lives have been planned for us since birth.
00:40:26Why are you even hesitating?
00:40:28Am I not as good as that front desk receptionist that you've become so smitten with?
00:40:34She has nothing to do with this.
00:40:36Are you defending her?
00:40:37Ecologic's current success is entirely attributed to the Reed family's support.
00:40:42So, are you refusing me for some lowly hotel receptionist?
00:40:48I'm thankful for everything that you did for me.
00:40:51Oh, go to hell!
00:40:53Your company would have gone bankrupt long ago if I wasn't there to support it.
00:41:01You know, just why won't you leave that woman?
00:41:05Why won't you leave that woman?
00:41:07I'm your fiance.
00:41:09And I'm what's best for you.
00:41:14You're not very convincing.
00:41:20You will be mine.
00:41:29Wow.
00:41:31This place really screams money.
00:41:33Thank you for getting me in here, Stella.
00:41:35Without you, I never would have been able to be here.
00:41:38Thanks to my uncle, you can come anytime.
00:41:41I'm glad to have you by my side.
00:41:44Let me tell you some good news.
00:41:46Ms. Montgomery's returning to headquarters today.
00:41:48Maybe we can get my uncle to introduce us.
00:41:50That would be amazing.
00:41:52You've done more for me than Claire ever did.
00:41:54That bitch wouldn't even be able to get you these opportunities.
00:42:06Here, Klein.
00:42:08Your CFO heard about your return and has prepared an expensive gift.
00:42:10He'd like to see you at once.
00:42:12I don't have time.
00:42:14Please decline.
00:42:15Understood.
00:42:17Is the five billion dollar investment ready for Kane?
00:42:19It's ready.
00:42:20Go get it.
00:42:21I'll be right in.
00:42:23Kane, your loyalty is applicable.
00:42:25You have my unwavering support.
00:42:31Mr. Duncan, did Ms. Montgomery agree to meet me?
00:42:33She just got back and she's got a lot on her plate.
00:42:35Try some other time.
00:42:37Ms. Montgomery asked me to get the investor agreement.
00:42:40If you grab it yourself, you might be able to meet her.
00:42:42I'd be happy to.
00:42:44Don't make any mistakes.
00:42:46It's a very important document.
00:42:53Uncle Harry, I'm here.
00:42:55You two are in luck.
00:42:57Our CEO has just set up a five billion dollar investment agreement.
00:43:00It seems they're trying to make a deal.
00:43:02It seems they're trying to make up for the little incident last night with Milo.
00:43:05Five billion dollars?
00:43:07For me? Is this real?
00:43:09For three years Montgomery Group has been silently supporting you.
00:43:12This time, it's no different.
00:43:14Claire had to get involved.
00:43:16That bitch doesn't realize her little stunt got us even more investment money.
00:43:19Now that our CEO is back, you get a chance to meet them.
00:43:21Be polite. Make a good impression.
00:43:23Absolutely.
00:43:25Thank you for all your help.
00:43:27You know, when I'm successful, I won't forget your support.
00:43:29Okay. You two, wait here.
00:43:31I'm going to go get the investment agreement.
00:43:37So what if that bitch found another man?
00:43:40I'm going to be so rich, she's going to be begging to come back to me.
00:43:43A slut who sleeps her way to the top will never be a worthy opponent.
00:43:51Look what the cat dragged in.
00:43:53Still playing dress up, Claire?
00:43:55Well, at least I don't need a man to get me in the door.
00:43:58Stop bragging.
00:44:00This isn't ecologics.
00:44:02Your new boy toy won't be able to save you here.
00:44:04I'm sorry, are you forgetting that you're the one who cheated with my husband?
00:44:07Milo.
00:44:09You took time out of your day to come here?
00:44:11Are you trying to get back with me?
00:44:13It's not going to work.
00:44:15Don't be so self-centered.
00:44:17I'm here because I have work to do.
00:44:19Oh, are you having an affair with a security guard?
00:44:25You're disgusting.
00:44:27I'm VIP.
00:44:29Don't you dare touch me.
00:44:31You bitch. My Uncle Harry is CFO of Montgomery Group.
00:44:33I might just talk to him about you and you'll be fired.
00:44:35Wait. Harry Klein is your uncle?
00:44:38Yes. Are you scared?
00:44:41If Harry knew how you two have been treating me, you might actually fear him.
00:44:45Don't be ridiculous. We see through your lies.
00:44:48Didn't Cain humiliate you enough?
00:44:50We already know the truth.
00:44:51The real investor backing Milo is not Cain.
00:44:53It's the CEO of Montgomery Group.
00:44:55By the way, Miss Montgomery already reinvested five billion dollars in my cancer testing research
00:45:00to make up for last night's loss.
00:45:02Really? I wasn't aware of that.
00:45:05Nobody cares about your lowly opinion.
00:45:07Milo, you're too stupid to deserve that investment.
00:45:09Once my research test results are out, I'm going to be a billionaire.
00:45:13And you'll realize how foolish you were to doubt me.
00:45:15Well, I heard that investment isn't even for you.
00:45:18The cancer testing research is cutting-edge technology.
00:45:21Milo deserves the five billion dollar investment.
00:45:24The five billion dollar investment is mine.
00:45:27I can give that money to whoever I want.
00:45:29You're saying it's yours?
00:45:31Are you trying to impersonate Miss Montgomery?
00:45:33I don't need to impersonate her.
00:45:35I am her.
00:45:37Once my uncle arrives, we'll see if you're still willing to lie about who you are.
00:45:40Harry is my subordinate. He has to listen to what I have to say.
00:45:43Are you brain dead?
00:45:45No one is dumb enough to pretend to be the Montgomery Group CEO while at headquarters.
00:45:48I didn't realize you started lying after our divorce.
00:45:51Do you know how ridiculous you look?
00:45:53Let me let you in on a little secret.
00:45:55That five billion dollar investment is a gift from the Montgomery Group to Kane.
00:46:00It has nothing to do with you.
00:46:02Stop lying.
00:46:04All my progress over the years has been thanks to the Montgomery Group's unwavering support.
00:46:08Why would they stop now?
00:46:10Especially for someone like Kane.
00:46:12Joke's on you.
00:46:14Because guess what? I'm Claire Montgomery.
00:46:15And I've been pulling the strings.
00:46:17All along.
00:46:20Yeah.
00:46:22Just because you have the same last name as her doesn't mean you're even in the same class.
00:46:26Keep dreaming.
00:46:28I've already investigated you.
00:46:30You have no connection to the Montgomery Group.
00:46:32You're just a hotel receptionist.
00:46:34Security, kick her out.
00:46:40If you touch her again, you'll have to answer to me.
00:46:46Beat it.
00:46:48Understood?
00:46:51Who let you in here?
00:46:53This is Montgomery Group headquarters.
00:46:55Did you get permission?
00:46:57Get your filthy hands off me!
00:46:59Hey, I'm a major investment here at the Montgomery Group, alright?
00:47:01You can't touch me!
00:47:03Are you okay?
00:47:05Of course.
00:47:07This is my turf.
00:47:09Milo, your cancer testing research is a complete farce.
00:47:11Montgomery Group has already stopped investing in you.
00:47:13You don't understand the science behind it.
00:47:15The CFO is about to arrive.
00:47:17If you try and sabotage my agreement, I'll file a police report.
00:47:20Don't be naive.
00:47:22Montgomery Group has already canceled all their investments in you.
00:47:24You're not going to fool me again.
00:47:26I secured the five billion dollar investment.
00:47:28And I'm going to use that money to bankrupt Ecologics.
00:47:31What's all the fuss?
00:47:34Just in time.
00:47:37My investment agreement arrives.
00:47:44Uncle Harry, what's that?
00:47:46Well, this is the investment agreement that Ms. Montgomery ordered for Milo.
00:47:49This is all the evidence I need.
00:47:51That agreement is not for Milo.
00:47:53What are you two doing here? Who invited you?
00:47:55I was invited by Mr. Duncan.
00:47:57So now you're lying to get more investment opportunities?
00:47:59He's not lying. I invited him.
00:48:01Under what authority do you have to invite him?
00:48:03Harry, she's just my ex-wife.
00:48:05She's been trying to sabotage my career because she's angry.
00:48:07She even said that this investment agreement is for Cain and not me.
00:48:09This investment agreement was prepared by our CEO's executive assistant.
00:48:12It's honestly none of your business.
00:48:14You don't have to believe me.
00:48:16Just let Cain open it.
00:48:18See?
00:48:20If this doesn't work, we're screwed.
00:48:22Don't worry.
00:48:24You can open it.
00:48:26Oh, and Ben.
00:48:28I don't want anyone but Cain to have access to this agreement.
00:48:31I used the fingerprint scanner we have on file,
00:48:33so he's the only one who can unlock the documents.
00:48:36I'll give you guys one chance.
00:48:37If you can't,
00:48:39then I'll report you to the cops.
00:48:41What are you waiting for?
00:48:43Open it.
00:48:45I don't know how to open it.
00:48:48What if it doesn't open?
00:48:50This is Montgomery Group's gift to you.
00:48:52You can open it.
00:48:54He can't open it.
00:48:56Only someone supported by the Montgomery Group can open the briefcase.
00:48:59Watch.
00:49:01I can open it.
00:49:03You can try.
00:49:05You can try.
00:49:10All notifications denied.
00:49:15Impossible.
00:49:17Harry, what's going on?
00:49:19It must be broken.
00:49:21Now let's have Cain try.
00:49:23He can't open it.
00:49:26Trust me, Cain.
00:49:28You can open it.
00:49:30Okay.
00:49:31Okay.
00:49:33It's nothing.
00:49:47For three years, Milo has been the protege of the Montgomery Group's CEO.
00:49:52This investment agreement was meant for him.
00:49:55No one else can open the briefcase.
00:49:57And what if Cain can't open it?
00:49:59Then I'll resign.
00:50:01I wouldn't be so sure if I were you.
00:50:04Cain, go ahead.
00:50:15Authentication successful.
00:50:23How did this happen?
00:50:25Impossible.
00:50:27It's been tampered with.
00:50:29Ben set this password.
00:50:31How did Cain open it?
00:50:33Take a look inside.
00:50:40Milo, it seems this agreement doesn't mention you anywhere.
00:50:45I guess Montgomery Group had no intention of investing in you after all.
00:50:51Harry, what's going on?
00:50:57The fingerprint scanner must be broken.
00:51:02Return that immediately. That is my gift to Cain.
00:51:05I don't care how you opened the briefcase.
00:51:07You clearly have no authority to take the agreement.
00:51:10What is this ruckus in my building?
00:51:15What is this ruckus in my building?
00:51:21This is Montgomery Group headquarters, not a nightclub.
00:51:23Sorry, Mr. Duncan. I don't know how Clarence Cain managed to open the briefcase.
00:51:27Mr. Duncan, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Milo Preston.
00:51:31You're the kid who developed the new cancer testing research.
00:51:34Yes. Yes. All thanks to the support of the Montgomery Group.
00:51:38And you're aware of all of the backing the Montgomery Group has provided for you.
00:51:41Yes. Yes. And can I say what an honor it is to be supported by such a prestigious company.
00:51:47Did you hear that, bitch?
00:51:49Mr. Duncan just acknowledged that Milo Preston
00:51:51Mr. Duncan just acknowledged that Milo is a favorite around here.
00:51:56Cain, go call your team and inform them of this investment.
00:52:01Are you sure?
00:52:03I can handle this.
00:52:05I'll be back.
00:52:09Milo, take this.
00:52:12This is a gift from the Montgomery Group.
00:52:15I can't believe it.
00:52:17I've never received a five billion dollar investment agreement before.
00:52:21Mr. Duncan, please, thank the Montgomery's for me.
00:52:25And I promise I'll finish my cancer testing research.
00:52:32Montgomery Group resources are not meant for lowlifes like you to do as you please.
00:52:37What the hell?
00:52:39I'm sorry. Here is the five billion dollar agreement you asked me to prepare.
00:52:43Ms. Montgomery.
00:52:45Ms. Montgomery?
00:52:47No, Mr. Duncan, you don't understand.
00:52:50This is just a disgruntled ex-wife.
00:52:54Idiot.
00:52:57I gave you a chance to meet Ms. Montgomery and this is how you treat her with such disrespect?
00:53:01What are you talking about?
00:53:03Are you...
00:53:05Ben, I don't ever want to see this person again.
00:53:12Escort him out.
00:53:13Wait, Ms. Montgomery, I didn't know. I'm sorry.
00:53:18You little shit, you ruined me.
00:53:25Mr. Duncan, I think there's a misunderstanding here.
00:53:28This bitch,
00:53:31this woman,
00:53:33is just a regular hotel worker.
00:53:36Alright, she has no authority here.
00:53:38You are so dense.
00:53:39The five billion dollar investment money was given to me by the CEO of the Montgomery Group.
00:53:43Are you really going to go against their will for Claire?
00:53:46I'm not going against their will and I will remind you that your ex-wife is a public figure,
00:53:51so I would warn you to be very careful.
00:53:53No, she's not.
00:53:55She's an ordinary woman that nobody wants.
00:53:59Piss off.
00:54:01Claire,
00:54:03who are you?
00:54:05I've already told you who I am.
00:54:07I've already told you.
00:54:10Ben, please see our guest out.
00:54:15Don't touch me!
00:54:18We'll see ourselves out.
00:54:21Don't regret this.
00:54:30What's going on here?
00:54:33Well,
00:54:35this is a gift from Ben.
00:54:40A gift from Ben?
00:54:43Yes, originally the investment was intended for Milo.
00:54:50However,
00:54:52my CEO thought that his cancer testing research might be fake.
00:54:57So I took it upon myself to discuss with Ms. Montgomery about Milo's
00:55:02research.
00:55:04There's no way to detect blood cancer from a single drop of blood,
00:55:09so I recommended your renewable energy projects to Ben for investment.
00:55:14I am grateful to Montgomery Group for your trust in me.
00:55:17You won't regret it.
00:55:26Ben,
00:55:28are you forgetting something?
00:55:32Yes.
00:55:34This is an invitation to a gala celebrating the return of our mystery CEO.
00:55:39For me?
00:55:41Sure, absolutely. It's out of our CEO's request.
00:55:45Please thank the CEO for this.
00:55:49Claire,
00:55:51would you like to be my plus one to the gala?
00:55:54Sure, why not?
00:55:56Ms. Montgomery, why have you not revealed your true identity to Kane?
00:56:00I need to make sure he doesn't have any red flags first.
00:56:03I can't handle another Milo.
00:56:06Why is Ben helping her so much?
00:56:09Did Claire give him something?
00:56:11He listened to her like she had authority over him.
00:56:14Don't forget how manipulative she can be.
00:56:16You think she's manipulating him?
00:56:18She must be.
00:56:20Otherwise, why would Ben be cooperating with her so much?
00:56:22Yeah, maybe you're right.
00:56:28So, did you get the investment?
00:56:31No. Kane took it before I could.
00:56:35You're an idiot!
00:56:37It's fine.
00:56:39We still have a chance.
00:56:41The Montgomery Group CEO is hosting our gala the day after tomorrow night.
00:56:45And I have secured our entry.
00:56:48So, when the time comes,
00:56:49you will cooperate with me.
00:56:51I want Kane to understand that leaving me
00:56:54was a mistake.
00:56:57Well, how?
00:57:02I want to see what happens.
00:57:14Why is that chair so different?
00:57:16It's the Montgomery throne.
00:57:17Whoever sits there will influence America's economy for the next 30 years.
00:57:20We'll never have that kind of power.
00:57:22I heard the CEO's in their 20s.
00:57:24Do they really have what it takes to lead Montgomery Group?
00:57:27If company success is all they're doing,
00:57:29no one can replace them.
00:57:31Meeting the CEO is actually on my bucket list.
00:57:33Today's a rare opportunity.
00:57:35I have to leave a good impression.
00:57:48Who is she?
00:57:59I can't believe we're at such a high-end party
00:58:01to watch Milo's ex-wife show off.
00:58:03Stella, I could bankrupt you in a night.
00:58:06I'll kick you out.
00:58:08The Montgomery CEO is about to sit upon their throne
00:58:10and Milo will expose your scheme to embezzle the investment money.
00:58:14You'll go to jail.
00:58:15I've already told you.
00:58:17I am Ms. Montgomery.
00:58:21You're a joke.
00:58:23Just a loser living in your own little fantasy world.
00:58:28Someone get this slut out of here.
00:58:30She's not invited.
00:58:32I agree. The CEO is arriving soon.
00:58:34Don't let this trash ruin the event.
00:58:36Get her out.
00:58:38Well, if I leave, then you all have no reason to be here.
00:58:40Someone get this bitch out of here.
00:58:42She's not invited.
00:58:44Who said she's not invited?
00:58:54Who said Claire doesn't have an invite?
00:58:56I have it right here.
00:58:59Let me guess.
00:59:01Ben gave you that invite?
00:59:05It's a genuine invite.
00:59:07I don't doubt that it's real.
00:59:09The question is,
00:59:11how does a broke loser like Claire
00:59:13convince Ben to customize one for her?
00:59:16Let me answer that for you.
00:59:18It's because Claire is Ben's little plaything.
00:59:23Claire, don't let him rob you.
00:59:26I'm a genius.
00:59:28The Montgomery's Analyzer both believe in me
00:59:30and my revolutionary cancer testing research.
00:59:33I have millions in patents.
00:59:35I'm going to be so wealthy, you can't even imagine.
00:59:39You can't compete.
00:59:41You care for what type of men you choose, Claire.
00:59:44You can't count on Cain and Ben
00:59:46to save your real CEO lives.
00:59:48Instead of worrying about me,
00:59:52you should focus on yourself.
00:59:54Your little game is finished
00:59:57and your days of prosperity
00:59:59are coming to an end.
01:00:01Well, at least I won't have to look at
01:00:03your own wrinkly face every day.
01:00:04You disgust me.
01:00:06Then you better not beg for my forgiveness
01:00:08once you find out who I really am.
01:00:13Let me be straight with you.
01:00:15Eliza's connected me
01:00:17with two of the major shareholders
01:00:19of the Montgomery Group.
01:00:21They're partners with the CEO.
01:00:23So even Ben, reckless as he is,
01:00:25can't disobey their orders.
01:00:27And now that I have both the CEO
01:00:29and the two shareholders on my side,
01:00:31how long do you think
01:00:32Cain and Ben can protect you?
01:00:35You'll be begging me to take you back.
01:00:38You know what your biggest problem is?
01:00:40You take yourself way too seriously.
01:00:43Eliza's meeting with the shareholders
01:00:45as we speak.
01:00:47You and old man Ben's embezzlement
01:00:49of my investment funds
01:00:51is going to face justice.
01:00:53What did you say?
01:00:55Ben embezzled the $5 billion investment?
01:00:57Exactly.
01:00:59Ben already handed over the funds
01:01:00to Cain.
01:01:02Has Ben lost his mind?
01:01:04How dare he misappropriate the funds
01:01:06while our CEO is away.
01:01:08Derek, we need a clean house
01:01:10for our CEO's return.
01:01:12Cain, you think your business is safe?
01:01:15If you want ecologics to keep running,
01:01:17you'll have to marry me.
01:01:22Claire, what do you have
01:01:24hiding up your sleeve?
01:01:26What's wrong, Cain?
01:01:28Starting to doubt the Montgomery Group
01:01:30and you.
01:01:34If you admit your mistake,
01:01:36tear up the agreement Claire gave you,
01:01:38I'd be willing to tell the authorities
01:01:40you were coerced.
01:01:42God, you will say anything, won't you?
01:01:44This is your last chance, Cain.
01:01:52I trust Claire.
01:01:56Cain, don't you ever
01:01:58think about what you are doing.
01:02:00You are an idiot!
01:02:03You are just a pawn
01:02:05in Claire's sick little game.
01:02:07Do you really think
01:02:09that you're going to get that investment?
01:02:12Hey, my business is none of your concern.
01:02:15Wake up!
01:02:17Claire seduced you
01:02:19into accepting that $5 billion
01:02:21just so that she could
01:02:23drain it and disappear.
01:02:25But, Cain, don't worry.
01:02:27I will clean this whole mess up.
01:02:30Just as long as you promise
01:02:32to leave that woman.
01:02:34Don't insult Claire again
01:02:36or you'll regret it.
01:02:38Fine, if that's how
01:02:40you want to do this.
01:02:42But don't blame me
01:02:44when I pull all of my investments.
01:02:46And when Ecologics is in crisis,
01:02:48don't come begging.
01:02:50Well, there's no need
01:02:52to worry about that.
01:02:54Cain has already received
01:02:56a $5 billion investment
01:02:58from the Montgomery Group.
01:03:01So, you're Claire.
01:03:04You think you can steal Cain from me?
01:03:07Over my dead body.
01:03:09Cain and I have the freedom
01:03:11to marry whoever we want.
01:03:13You are just a hotel receptionist.
01:03:17Cain is way out of your league.
01:03:19As am I.
01:03:25Whether I'm a hotel receptionist
01:03:27or a CEO,
01:03:29I have the freedom to do
01:03:31what makes me happy.
01:03:33What? What are you doing?
01:03:35Get away! Get away from there!
01:03:37You are going to get your filth
01:03:39all over the Montgomery throne.
01:03:46This throne
01:03:50is mine.
01:03:53She lost it!
01:03:55She actually sat on the Montgomery throne!
01:03:57Get down from there right now!
01:03:59Please, this is the CEO's seat.
01:04:02We're going to get in trouble.
01:04:05Relax.
01:04:07I've got you covered.
01:04:09No one will mess with you here.
01:04:12You all heard that, right?
01:04:16This is who your energy king admires.
01:04:20Not only did she convince Cain
01:04:23to embezzle funds,
01:04:24but now she's impersonating Miss Montgomery.
01:04:28She's got some nerve
01:04:30on the day of our CEO's gala, no less.
01:04:32You are such a fraud.
01:04:35You know, impersonating Miss Montgomery
01:04:37and embezzling funds
01:04:39are both very serious crimes.
01:04:41I have the shareholders on their way
01:04:43right now to expose you.
01:04:45You know,
01:04:47in the five years
01:04:49since I founded the Montgomery Group,
01:04:51I've faced thousands of challenges.
01:04:52You're a little chased.
01:04:54Hey!
01:04:56Who's causing all this noise?
01:04:58Gentlemen,
01:05:00there is a woman here
01:05:02who is impersonating Miss Montgomery.
01:05:04But don't worry,
01:05:06I'm about to have her kicked out.
01:05:08Who's impersonating Miss Montgomery?
01:05:10Hi, Sam.
01:05:12Hi, Derek.
01:05:15Long time no see.
01:05:18Eliza?
01:05:20Is she the one you're claiming
01:05:22to be impersonating Miss Montgomery?
01:05:24Uh, yes.
01:05:26Somehow she convinced Ben
01:05:28to embezzle the five billion
01:05:30that was spent for Milo.
01:05:32Please, help me
01:05:34get my investment back
01:05:36and punish her.
01:05:38Shut up.
01:05:40There's got to be
01:05:42some kind of mistake here.
01:05:44She's the imposter.
01:05:46I know exactly who she is.
01:05:48Greetings, Miss Montgomery.
01:05:52What?
01:05:55Claire
01:05:57is Miss Montgomery.
01:05:59Listen up.
01:06:01This
01:06:03is Miss Montgomery
01:06:05of Montgomery Group.
01:06:07The richest person
01:06:09on the continent.
01:06:11Disrespect her
01:06:13and you're going against
01:06:15the entire company.
01:06:17Claire, what's going on?
01:06:19Are you really the CEO?
01:06:20I wish you sooner had came,
01:06:22but past experiences
01:06:24made me cautious.
01:06:26But now I can
01:06:28confidently say to you
01:06:30I am Claire Montgomery,
01:06:32CEO of Montgomery Group.
01:06:36Impossible.
01:06:38She can't be the CEO.
01:06:40She's just a hotel worker,
01:06:42a woman I left behind.
01:06:44Watch your mouth.
01:06:46I won't hesitate to bury you myself.
01:06:51Can you tell me
01:06:53you're the CEO?
01:06:55I told you
01:06:57the funds were for me,
01:06:59that your success was built
01:07:01on my resources.
01:07:03Did you believe me?
01:07:05No.
01:07:07I don't want to see this person anymore.
01:07:09I'm sorry.
01:07:12Okay, I was wrong.
01:07:14Please take me back.
01:07:16Let's start over.
01:07:18Milo, you're choosing her over me?
01:07:21Shut up!
01:07:23You've ruined me.
01:07:25This is all your fault.
01:07:27Claire,
01:07:29my cancer testing research
01:07:30is just about to launch.
01:07:31Please, please,
01:07:32there's going to be huge returns.
01:07:33Please take me back.
01:07:41Here's the feasibility report
01:07:42for your research.
01:07:46It's a scam.
01:07:47A dream you've slept for yourself.
01:07:52It's over.
01:07:54Milo Preston,
01:07:57you're under arrest
01:07:58for fraud and illegally obtaining funds.
01:08:02You've been a renowned entrepreneur with Claire.
01:08:06I threw it all away.
01:08:08Yeah, you two are going to wait
01:08:09for a really long time.
01:08:10Come on.
01:08:18I thought that you were willing
01:08:19to throw it all away
01:08:20for your so-called freedom.
01:08:24But turns out
01:08:25you were just in it for the money.
01:08:30Your understanding of love is
01:08:32shallow.
01:08:34Wealth is the least
01:08:36of Claire's qualities.
01:08:38She's kind, optimistic.
01:08:40She treats everyone equal
01:08:42regardless of their status
01:08:43and their wealth.
01:08:45That's what I love
01:08:46most about her.
01:08:48So you're saying
01:08:50I don't have any
01:08:51redeeming qualities?
01:08:52Everyone has
01:08:53redeeming qualities,
01:08:54including you.
01:08:56But love is to surrender
01:08:57your free will.
01:09:00Love is
01:09:05simply love.
01:09:07Cain,
01:09:08I've never heard you
01:09:09talk that way about anybody.
01:09:11Oh, well,
01:09:13I give up.
01:09:15Love is the most
01:09:16important thing in a marriage
01:09:17and it's obvious
01:09:19that you two have that.
01:09:26Allow me to reintroduce myself.
01:09:29Cain Hudson,
01:09:31Stanford grad,
01:09:33founder of Ecologics.
01:09:36Claire Montgomery,
01:09:38CEO of Montgomery Group.
01:09:41Divorced.
01:09:43Well, time is of the essence.
01:09:45I never wanted to go along
01:09:46with the arranged marriage
01:09:47my grandfather and I had.
01:09:50I choose to marry the woman
01:09:51I truly love,
01:09:53Miss Montgomery.
01:09:56Will you marry me?
01:09:58Well, Mr. Hudson,
01:10:00only there were roses here.
01:10:03I might actually consider it.
01:10:11Hmm.
01:10:12Surprise!
01:10:14I made it happen.
01:10:21You may now kiss your bride.
