00:00:00Mom!
00:00:02Now where's my future daughter-in-law? I can't wait to meet her.
00:00:05We'll meet her soon enough.
00:00:06I have some gifts. I hope they'll be up to her taste.
00:00:09Mom, your taste is timeless.
00:00:13If I find that bitch, I am going to kill her.
00:00:18Noah, I deserve an explanation and I'm getting it today.
00:00:22How dare you sleep with my fiancée on our wedding day?
00:00:27I'm Noah's mother, your mother-in-law!
00:00:30Everyone, meet Noah Harper's mistress.
00:00:33Why does she get to have this?
00:00:35I'm the one marrying Noah. I'm supposed to have it all!
00:00:38Stone, you've crossed the line for the last time.
00:00:40You want this on your son.
00:00:42Your engagement is over.
00:00:44Where did you get this from?
00:00:45From your mistress!
00:00:46Do you think your precious Noah Harper is going to save you?
00:00:50Who did this? Who hurt my mother?
00:00:53His mother? My mother-in-law?
00:01:11Answer me. Are you his mistress?
00:01:17On my son's engagement day, his fiancée mistook me for a mistress and humiliated me.
00:01:22In every possible way.
00:01:25ONE YEAR LATER
00:01:50You surprised me.
00:01:52Ah, I didn't think you'd make it.
00:01:54I've been abroad for two years and suddenly you're engaged.
00:01:57I'm not missing your wedding.
00:01:59Now, where's my future daughter-in-law?
00:02:01I can't wait to meet her.
00:02:02Well, she's just upstairs getting ready.
00:02:03But here, come on, we'll meet her soon enough.
00:02:05Oh, well, I have some gifts.
00:02:07I hope they'll be up to her taste.
00:02:08Mom, your taste is timeless.
00:02:10Flattery will get you everywhere.
00:02:12I've missed you so much.
00:02:14I've missed you too.
00:02:22Oh, my dream come true.
00:02:27Oh, don't I look gorgeous?
00:02:28So gorgeous.
00:02:29You're stunning.
00:02:30I know.
00:02:32Um, Mia, I think you're going to want to see this.
00:02:36Unbelievable!
00:02:39It's our wedding day and he's flaunting some woman
00:02:42like she's the one in this dress?
00:02:44Huh?
00:02:51Hey, uh.
00:02:54Uh.
00:02:57Mia, what are you talking about?
00:03:03Mia, what are you talking about?
00:03:05Don't even try to deny it, Noah.
00:03:07Your photos are all over the tabloids.
00:03:09Photos, what?
00:03:10Uh, denying what?
00:03:12It's our wedding day and you're out there making a fool of me!
00:03:15You better give me an explanation now!
00:03:19Listen, Mia, I don't know what you're talking about,
00:03:20so maybe stop leaving every piece of trash you see online.
00:03:23I don't know.
00:03:23Mom!
00:03:26What?
00:03:29If I find that bitch, I am going to kill her.
00:03:34Mia, just let it go.
00:03:36You know how it is.
00:03:37All wealthy guys have someone on the side.
00:03:40I've busted my ass to lock down my place in the Harper family.
00:03:44No way I'm letting some nobody steal Noah.
00:03:49Mia.
00:03:52Noah, what's wrong?
00:03:54I'm just-
00:03:54Fight with Mia.
00:03:55No, I'm not fighting with her.
00:03:57I'm not fighting with her.
00:03:58I'm not fighting with her.
00:03:59I'm not fighting with her.
00:04:00I'm not fighting with her.
00:04:02Fight with Mia.
00:04:03You know, she saw something online and sort of lost it,
00:04:07but maybe that was not the best time to meet her,
00:04:09but let's get you inside, get you rested up, get a big day.
00:04:18Miss Victoria, you're actually marrying the homeless guy from New York.
00:04:23Oh, sweetheart.
00:04:25This is just beautiful.
00:04:26It's not too bad for a couple of melons.
00:04:29Let's get you upstairs.
00:04:32Oh, my God.
00:04:34That's the woman from the tabloids.
00:04:36Noah's mistress.
00:04:40And?
00:04:41So where?
00:04:52Shameless slut.
00:04:54Who does she think she is cozying up to my fiance?
00:04:58Girls, let's go.
00:04:59Oh, we're putting this so-called mistress in her place.
00:05:09I'm going to go smooth things out with Mia.
00:05:10Just stay up here, relax for a little bit,
00:05:13and just come downstairs and I'll finally introduce you to her.
00:05:16You go take care of business.
00:05:19Thanks.
00:05:20Mm-hmm.
00:05:29I hope Mia sees the love behind this pearl bracelet.
00:05:32It's been in our family for generations.
00:05:35And this estate, the first thing Noah ever designed.
00:05:38He was so proud of it.
00:05:50Oh, look at him all smug.
00:05:55I guess she knows how to keep him happy in bed.
00:05:57This bitch thinks she's going to steal Noah from me?
00:06:00Over my dead body.
00:06:11Back so soon?
00:06:15You slut!
00:06:16How dare you sleep with my fiance on our wedding day?
00:06:21You think I'm going to let you humiliate me?
00:06:23Me, the future Mrs. Harper?
00:06:31Hold her down.
00:06:32What?
00:06:33What is this all about?
00:06:34What do you people want from me?
00:06:37How dare you seduce my fiance?
00:06:41Do you know who I am?
00:06:42I am the future Mrs. Harper.
00:06:45You're messing with the wrong woman.
00:06:50Wait.
00:06:52Mia?
00:06:54No, Mia?
00:06:55You know who I am?
00:06:57You know who I am and you still dare to go after my man?
00:07:01My daughter-in-law thinks I'm Noah's mistress?
00:07:04Mia, you got it all wrong.
00:07:06Wrong?
00:07:07So Noah told you my name?
00:07:08Oh, you must feel so special.
00:07:11Please listen.
00:07:12No, no, no, no, no.
00:07:14You knew damn well he was my fiance and you still went ahead with this?
00:07:20You're disgusting.
00:07:26She thought that she could talk her way out of this.
00:07:29Pathetic.
00:07:30Messing with Noah Harper's fiance?
00:07:32She's lucky this is all she's getting.
00:07:34Please, let me just call him.
00:07:35We'll get this all situated.
00:07:37I'm just, listen to me.
00:07:39Texting Noah to save you?
00:07:41You're intentionally flaunting with him in public.
00:07:45Getting your picture taken by the media.
00:07:47Pictures?
00:07:48This is all because of those misleading tabloids.
00:07:50Listen.
00:07:51Stop acting innocent.
00:07:52You think Noah's just gonna come running to save you?
00:07:55Well, too bad he's busy preparing for our wedding.
00:07:58Please listen.
00:08:00Strip her.
00:08:03I want to see if she still has one single ounce of dignity left in her.
00:08:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:23Let's wash the filth off you, shall we?
00:08:31No, please.
00:08:41Mia, you got it all wrong.
00:08:47I'm Noah's mother, your mother-in-law.
00:08:54What?
00:08:54His mother?
00:08:55My mother-in-law?
00:09:00You?
00:09:03My mother-in-law?
00:09:04Don't make me laugh.
00:09:09Mia, what if we're wrong?
00:09:11I mean, should we double check?
00:09:12I mean, what if she really is?
00:09:13Seriously?
00:09:15My fiancé would tell me if his own mother was coming to my wedding.
00:09:18He tells me everything.
00:09:19You're full of shit.
00:09:21She's lying through her teeth.
00:09:23Let's make her pay for messing with you.
00:09:26Hold her down.
00:09:27We're not done with you yet.
00:09:28No, get off me.
00:09:30Get off of me.
00:09:32Let's get this on camera.
00:09:35Here, Mia.
00:09:38Smile.
00:09:39Should I call you Mom?
00:09:44I'll make sure that everyone knows the truth.
00:09:47No one deserves to be Mrs. Harper except for me.
00:09:55Oh, hi, honey, what's up?
00:09:58Hey, I've been looking all over for you.
00:10:00You finished getting ready?
00:10:01Anyways, head down to the banquet hall.
00:10:03You can finally meet Mom.
00:10:04She's surprised us by coming to the wedding.
00:10:05Oh, yes, I'm just wrapping something up here.
00:10:09I'll be there soon.
00:10:10Noah, son, please help me!
00:10:16Wait, that voice.
00:10:17Why does it sound so familiar?
00:10:21Did she just call him son?
00:10:24No way this bitch is Noah's mother.
00:10:27Anyways, just get down to wherever you can.
00:10:30She rarely visits.
00:10:32Don't worry, your mom is going to love me.
00:10:36Mom!
00:10:37You hear that, bitch?
00:10:39My future mother-in-law, the chairwoman of Harper Corporation,
00:10:42one of the richest women in the world,
00:10:44has flown from abroad for my wedding with Noah.
00:10:48I wonder what she would do to a mistress like you.
00:10:53Take her to the banquet hall.
00:10:54I want my mother-in-law to deal with her.
00:10:56You must be so proud, Mia, marrying into the Harper family.
00:11:00This is next-level success.
00:11:02The stones are about to hit the jackpot.
00:11:04The Harpers are not only rich, but they are powerful.
00:11:06Well, Mia is a smart and sensible girl.
00:11:09She's worked very hard for everything she's got.
00:11:11It's only natural.
00:11:13Mia is the perfect match for Noah Harper.
00:11:16There's none better.
00:11:18I'm so glad you're here, Mia.
00:11:20I'm so glad you're here, Mia.
00:11:22I'm so glad you're here, Mia.
00:11:24I'm so glad you're here, Mia.
00:11:26I'm so glad you're here, Mia.
00:11:28Do you really have to marry Noah Harper?
00:11:30What about our plans?
00:11:32Once I marry Noah, I'll have everything I've ever wanted.
00:11:35Money, status, power.
00:11:41And you, you'll get your cut, but only if you stay quiet.
00:11:48I'll do what you ask, but don't forget what you promised me, Mia.
00:11:56Mia, you're here.
00:12:04What's going on?
00:12:13Everyone, meet Noah Harper's mistress.
00:12:17You shameless slut.
00:12:30How dare you?
00:12:32Did you think your little tricks would help you climb the social ladder?
00:12:38What's this?
00:12:41Mia, Lena, come take a look at this.
00:12:43The Elysium Estate?
00:12:46And the keys?
00:12:49That place has got to be worth 50 million, easy.
00:12:55Did Noah give you this?
00:12:57Is this where you've been hiding?
00:12:59No, it's not like that.
00:13:01That's the first design Noah did, his dream project.
00:13:04I haven't taken anything from him.
00:13:06Funny.
00:13:08Noah's mentioned the estate to me before.
00:13:10Noah's mentioned the estate to me before.
00:13:13But he said it didn't live up to his standards.
00:13:15He never took me there, and now it makes sense.
00:13:18He was hiding his dirty secret there.
00:13:20Don't let her take this away from you.
00:13:22If she's been living off Noah, she owes you.
00:13:25I don't want somebody else's leftovers.
00:13:28But you don't deserve to have this either.
00:13:30No, no, no.
00:13:33No, no, no, okay.
00:13:34Jacob, that property, that estate is not just some property.
00:13:42Let's see what else you're hiding.
00:13:49That's stunning.
00:13:50Must be worth a fortune.
00:13:52That's no ordinary pearl.
00:13:53It's top-tier shape, flawless clarity.
00:13:58Something this expensive?
00:13:59Could she really be Noah's mother?
00:14:04If she's some random woman,
00:14:06then why would Noah give her something this valuable?
00:14:08He's never treated her like this.
00:14:11Why?
00:14:12Why does she get to have this?
00:14:13I'm the one marrying Noah.
00:14:15I'm supposed to have it all.
00:14:18If I can't have this, neither can you.
00:14:21No.
00:14:24You can't.
00:14:27No.
00:14:28Oh.
00:14:34That's the Harper family heirloom, that bracelet.
00:14:37You have no right to anything in the Harper family.
00:14:44Can you believe this?
00:14:46Noah gave that kind of bracelet to his mistress?
00:14:49No wonder Mia's losing it.
00:14:52Mia, I give countless chances.
00:14:56This, this is too much.
00:15:02This time, you've gone too far.
00:15:06I'll make you pay for this.
00:15:09You dare slap me on my special day?
00:15:13You're nothing but a pathetic mistress.
00:15:15You don't get to lecture me.
00:15:18Everyone take a look at this.
00:15:20This is what happens when you mess with me.
00:15:23I've never meddled in Noah's life before,
00:15:26but this is the woman he chose?
00:15:28Arrogant, unreasonable,
00:15:30flaunting her power to humiliate me in front of everyone.
00:15:33How could she fool Noah?
00:15:41Give it back.
00:15:43Oh, that's cute.
00:15:45Wait a second.
00:15:47Doesn't that guy look a little like Noah?
00:15:49Could she be Noah's mother?
00:15:55That's the only photo I have of my late husband.
00:15:57Please, Mia.
00:15:58Oh, you were married.
00:16:00God, that makes this even worse.
00:16:06I'm so sorry.
00:16:07I'm so sorry.
00:16:09I'm so sorry.
00:16:11I'm so sorry.
00:16:14Admit in front of everyone that you're a low-life mistress,
00:16:17and maybe, just maybe, I'll give it back to you.
00:16:22If you give it back,
00:16:23I will pretend like none of this ever happened.
00:16:25I guess you don't want it that badly.
00:16:27No, wait.
00:16:29Say it.
00:16:30Say that you're a low-life mistress.
00:16:34I'm a mistress.
00:16:36Louder, so everyone can hear you.
00:16:38I'm nothing but a low-life mistress.
00:16:50I did what you said.
00:16:52Please, give it back.
00:17:02That's the only photo I have of my husband.
00:17:08Oh, God.
00:17:10Oh, God.
00:17:12Oh, God.
00:17:14Oh, God.
00:17:16Oh, God.
00:17:18Oh, God.
00:17:20Oh, God.
00:17:23It's the day, sir.
00:17:24Are you nervous?
00:17:25Do you still want to have Mia as my mom yet?
00:17:29That's the only photo I have of my husband.
00:17:33You should have caught it.
00:17:34It's not my fault you're so slow.
00:17:38It'll be a stone you've crossed the line for the last time.
00:17:50You hit me!
00:17:57Ah!
00:18:09She's not moving.
00:18:11Is she dead?
00:18:14She's dead. We're screwed.
00:18:16She's fine. Just drag her out of here before somebody important sees.
00:18:19The last thing we need is the Harper family backing out on this.
00:18:23Right?
00:18:24Yeah.
00:18:25Okay.
00:18:29Mr. Harper is here.
00:18:32What the hell is going on?
00:18:52Noah Harper. He's, like, straight from the magazine. Rich, handsome, the whole package.
00:18:58Too bad he's stuck with Mia. She just climbed her way up with that whole roller car accident stunt.
00:19:03Dumped Jonathan and snagged Noah overnight.
00:19:05Look, we all know that she doesn't deserve him, but keep your voice down.
00:19:08She's not someone you can mess with anymore.
00:19:10Go greet your husband.
00:19:12Why? Just so that he could pretend he's the perfect fiancée in front of everyone?
00:19:17Noah, you made it.
00:19:20Mr. and Mrs. Stone. Mia, have you had a chance to meet my mom yet?
00:19:23Your mom never showed up. We've been waiting for hours.
00:19:26Is there something wrong here, Mia?
00:19:28Something wrong? Do you want me to spell it out? Don't act like you don't know what you did.
00:19:33I don't know what you're talking about.
00:19:36Listen, son. Mia's the pride and joy of our family.
00:19:39If you're cheating on her, it's just not disrespectful to her.
00:19:42You're showing us all disrespect.
00:19:44And Mia is smart and beautiful, and she is totally devoted to you.
00:19:49Dear, if you have someone else, just end it now.
00:19:52Is this what you all really think of me?
00:19:55Oh, don't act clueless.
00:19:58Everyone here knows that you have someone else.
00:20:02Mia, I already told you, that's not true.
00:20:04There's only two women in my life. That's you and that's my mom.
00:20:06My dad died and she raised me on my own.
00:20:08After you saved me from that car wreck, why would I ever want to betray that?
00:20:11Don't drag your mom into this. And don't play the victim.
00:20:15You want proof? Fine.
00:20:17That other woman, I caught her in the act.
00:20:20Wait, caught who? What proof?
00:20:24I don't know what you're talking about, but you must have the wrong person here.
00:20:27Oh, the wrong person? You're still playing dumb?
00:20:30Everyone here saw it.
00:20:32Look, son, just admit it.
00:20:34It's one of those mistakes all men make.
00:20:37Own up to it. Apologize and move on.
00:20:40No need to drag this out.
00:20:42Listen, sir, I'm trying to...
00:20:43Don't apologize to Mia. Save yourself a headache.
00:20:48Listen, I'm not going to apologize for something that I haven't even done.
00:20:51You told me I was the only woman you've ever loved.
00:20:55I'm such a fool.
00:20:58I shouldn't have saved you that day.
00:21:00Don't rewrite history, Mia.
00:21:02Now, if you have proof, show it.
00:21:04You want proof?
00:21:09Here. Here is that pearl bracelet you gave that whore.
00:21:14What pearl bracelet? I never even bought one of these before.
00:21:17Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:21:19That is not just some cheap trinket that you find at a mall kiosk.
00:21:22A bracelet like that is worth hundreds of thousands.
00:21:24You can't just exactly give that away by accident.
00:21:27This can't be right. A piece like this isn't just expensive.
00:21:30It's unique. The only one I've ever seen like it belonged to my mother.
00:21:34Where did you get this from?
00:21:37I'm your mistress.
00:21:39Our family is not wealthy like yours,
00:21:42but that doesn't give you the right to humiliate me like this.
00:21:45I've given you my heart, my loyalty, and this is how you repay me?
00:21:50Enough, Mia. Stop making a spectacle in front of everyone.
00:21:53You're making up lies. You're dragging us through the mud.
00:21:55Is this your endgame to just ruin the wedding?
00:22:06Don't even think about escaping.
00:22:10Shut up.
00:22:12You think your precious Noah Harper is going to save you?
00:22:17What is so special about that Harper that you two are both so eager to sleep?
00:22:28Maybe I should leave you something memorable.
00:22:32Let's see if Harper recognizes you after this.
00:22:41What was that?
00:22:48Oh, that, um, that was, that was just a clueless relative of ours
00:22:56that thought it would be fun to bring their dog.
00:22:59So we lofted in the back.
00:23:01Enough of this nonsense. Today is a very important day.
00:23:05Let's get this wedding back on track and put all this mistress business aside until later.
00:23:11Mia, don't ruin everything. Noah's going to leave.
00:23:15Noah, she's just all worked up because she loves you so much.
00:23:19My mom should be here by now.
00:23:21Yeah, I can't wait for her to get here so she can clear up this mess for me.
00:23:26Really, Mia? You sound ridiculous.
00:23:28I don't care, Noah. I deserve an explanation and I'm getting it today.
00:23:35This, this blueprint, it's from the Elysium estate.
00:23:40You gave this to your mistress, didn't you?
00:23:48This is the first blueprint that I ever designed.
00:23:51How did this get here?
00:23:54How did this get here?
00:23:56I asked you for a mansion and instead you're giving a multi-million dollar estate to some other woman?
00:24:00I never gave it to anyone.
00:24:03So that estate has been abandoned for years.
00:24:06Your mother is the one that kept it under her care.
00:24:09Miss Stone, this is for sure a misunderstanding.
00:24:13You want me to believe that this is a misunderstanding? Do you think I'm stupid?
00:24:18My mom handles all my properties. I have not given anything to anyone.
00:24:22Don't lie to me, Noah. Whether it's the estate or the bracelet.
00:24:27I don't care if they're not mine, but you sure as hell better not be giving them to anyone else.
00:24:31Fine, if you don't believe me, let's call my mom. She'll clear everything up.
00:24:52Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system.
00:25:05My darling. First son? Now darling?
00:25:10You're full of surprises.
00:25:14She's on the X-ray. Have someone go check her hotel room.
00:25:21No.
00:25:28You really thought she could get away?
00:25:31If she was here, we'd see her by now.
00:25:33Let's check outside.
00:25:35Call some people to check the entire city if we have to.
00:25:52Where is she? Where is the woman in this picture?
00:26:01You didn't know your little homewrecker was married?
00:26:05I'm going to ask you again. Where is she?
00:26:09You're losing it over a homewrecker? Seriously?
00:26:12I'm going to ask you one more time. Where is she?
00:26:16Noah, I...
00:26:19Help me!
00:26:37Mom! Mom!
00:26:40Pick off, you son of a bitch.
00:26:55I can't help it. It's me. I'm sorry I wasn't used to it, right?
00:26:59Noah.
00:27:02Son, you finally came.
00:27:11I'm going to make them pay for this.
00:27:15I need a doctor now!
00:27:18Yes, sir.
00:27:28Noah, are you serious? You're Mia's fiancé?
00:27:32Yes, I am.
00:27:35I'm going to make them pay for this.
00:27:39Noah, are you serious?
00:27:42You're Mia's fiancé and you have the nerves to walk out of here with that woman in front of everyone?
00:27:49Noah, what do I even mean to you?
00:27:52After everything we've been through, you'd rather choose her over me?
00:27:56Can you believe it? The Great Harper heir turns out to be nothing but a lying cheater.
00:28:00This is crazy. If I were you, Mia, I would walk out right now.
00:28:04She's not my mistress.
00:28:07She's my mother.
00:28:16She's actually Noah's mother? My future mother-in-law?
00:28:20Oh, God, it's over! I'm done for!
00:28:23Does anyone else have any more questions?
00:28:26Because I have one.
00:28:28Who did this? Who hurt my mother?
00:28:33Nobody?
00:28:36Louden?
00:28:39So, I'll ask again.
00:28:42Who broke my mother's necklace?
00:28:45Who hit her?
00:28:48Who else other than this piece of shit laid hands on my mother?
00:28:52No, we didn't know she was your mother.
00:28:55It was you, wasn't it?
00:28:59I didn't know.
00:29:02You didn't know? You didn't know that she's the last person I have on this earth?
00:29:06You didn't know that without her, I wouldn't even be here today?
00:29:11Unless a man would take his anger out on you.
00:29:15But I'm not going to do that.
00:29:18That's on you for raising her to be like this.
00:29:21I really didn't know.
00:29:24That's on you for raising her to be like this.
00:29:27I really didn't know.
00:29:29You didn't know!
00:29:31If she wasn't someone important, does that make it right that you treat her like trash?
00:29:34No, I'm so sorry. I only acted that way because of those photos.
00:29:38I misunderstood. I thought she was your mistress.
00:29:40You misunderstood. That's the best you've got, that you've misunderstood.
00:29:43This is just a misunderstanding within the family.
00:29:47A family? No, she's not part of the Harper family.
00:29:51No, don't say that. Mina saved your life.
00:29:55Yes, she saved my life because of that.
00:29:57I've indulged every little demand that you people have thrown at me, but hitting my mother?
00:30:01No, that crosses the line.
00:30:04You better pray that she's all right.
00:30:06If she's not, I'm going to make sure everybody wishes that they were dead.
00:30:16We just came here for a show. Not to be involved.
00:30:23We already apologized. What more do you want?
00:30:27I didn't even do anything that backstabbing you with.
00:30:30You think money makes you untouchable, huh?
00:30:33Look at him. Acting like he's better than us just because he's rich.
00:30:41I'm going to tell you what you did to my mom. I'm going to pay you back a thousand times.
00:30:55Who's next?
00:31:01Mia, help me. Don't forget you have my kid in there, please.
00:31:07I'll tell everyone your dirty little secret.
00:31:12No, please. I'm begging you, please forgive me.
00:31:17Forgive you? I will never forgive you.
00:31:21You think my mom will ever forgive you?
00:31:24Vivian's nice. She'll probably let it slide.
00:31:28Please, just give me a chance.
00:31:44I will never forgive you.
00:31:49I will never forgive you.
00:31:52Mom, are you okay? Did they take care of all your injuries?
00:31:56Maybe you should just head home, Mom. I can take care of this.
00:31:59Anybody that hurt you is going to pay.
00:32:01No, no. This is something I need to handle myself.
00:32:11Vivian, Vivian, I'm so sorry. It's my fault. Please forgive me.
00:32:18Really? Who said we were close enough for you to call me that?
00:32:23I didn't know you were Noah's mom. I thought you were his mistress. I'm so sorry, please.
00:32:29I only did that because I love him so much. Please, I'll do anything to make this right.
00:32:34I'll do anything. I'll treat you right. I'll take care of you. I'll even treat you like my own mother.
00:32:40Please, I won't ever hurt you. Please forgive me.
00:32:45What about everything that happened to me today? Every slap? Every humiliation?
00:32:50Tell me, Mia. How are we going to make up for all of that?
00:32:54If I had known that you were Noah's mom, I wouldn't have dared.
00:32:58Please forgive me, Vivian. For Noah's sake, please.
00:33:03Vivian, I'm so sorry. I was wrong. I hear it. Please, hit me again if that's what's going to make things right.
00:33:11If Noah hadn't found me today, I probably wouldn't have made it out alive.
00:33:15I told you I wasn't a mistress, but you wouldn't listen.
00:33:19You don't deserve to marry Noah, and you have lost your chance of ever being a part of the Harper family.
00:33:30Do you really think that there's a future between us? We're done.
00:33:35At one point, I was really grateful because you saved Noah's life.
00:33:39I even went out of my way to find you a special gift.
00:33:43A gift?
00:33:44Yeah. The keys to the mansion that you threw in the trash. The bracelet that you smashed.
00:33:49Those were for you. It's too bad. You destroyed them all.
00:33:53What? Those were for me?
00:33:59It was their idea. They did it. I didn't do anything. They set me up.
00:34:04Vivian, please. Please, Vivian. Give me another chance. And maybe, maybe another set of gifts, too.
00:34:12Wow. Wow, Mia. You are unbelievable. Let me make this clear.
00:34:17Those gifts were mine. They were only yours if I was going to give them to you.
00:34:22Do you understand?
00:34:23Vivian, please.
00:34:27You brought this on yourself. That mansion? Noah designed it.
00:34:32Someone once offered me over 300 million. The bracelet? Priceless Harper family heirloom worth two million.
00:34:42But that locket? That was the last photo of my husband.
00:34:48Do you have any idea what you're destroying?
00:34:53Tell me, Mia. How are you going to pay me back for all this?
00:34:58Noah, all these years we've been together, this is my last chance.
00:35:03No. We've been together for so long. You can't do this to me, please.
00:35:09I love you so much. I've done so much for you. Please, please, just give me one more chance.
00:35:19There is nothing left between us, Mia. We're done.
00:35:23Sir, here's the surveillance footage from the hotel and banquet hall.
00:35:37You did this to my mother.
00:35:41I can't believe that I was ever stupid enough to fall for you just because you saved my life.
00:35:46This wedding is the only reason that you are not gone. This wedding's off.
00:35:51From now on, you are nothing to me and my family.
00:35:55No, no, no, no, no, Noah. Please don't call this off just because of your mother.
00:36:00Yeah, Mia, she messed up. You gotta give her a chance to fix it.
00:36:05Mia, you will never, ever be a part of the Harper family.
00:36:12This wedding is officially cancelled. Take them out of here. Turn them over to the police.
00:36:18No, wait. Wait. You can't call off the wedding. I'm pregnant. It's Noah's baby.
00:36:34You're pregnant.
00:36:39Noah, you can't walk out on this. There's a life at stake.
00:36:44Yeah, and even if you don't get married, you can't ignore the kid.
00:36:48I mean, think about what this will do to the Harper family's reputation.
00:36:52Why didn't you tell me that you were pregnant?
00:36:54I have the pregnancy report right here.
00:37:02Are you really going to deny your own baby?
00:37:05Please, Noah, it's legit.
00:37:07Noah, please don't call off the wedding. Please.
00:37:10Please, for the baby's sake, please forgive me.
00:37:14Mother, please. Please don't do this. Do this for the baby. Please. Please forgive me. Please.
00:37:21I'm going to need more than your word and a piece of paper.
00:37:24You need a doctor's confirmation, DNA test included. That is the only proof that I will accept.
00:37:30Family doctor will run the test. If this is true, we'll accept full responsibility.
00:37:37For the baby, and for you.
00:37:59Doctor, what are the results?
00:38:03Mia's pregnant.
00:38:06See? Noah, I wasn't lying.
00:38:10We will still need a DNA test to prove that the baby is Noah's.
00:38:14You still don't trust me, do you? Why do you keep denying me?
00:38:18If the baby is Noah's, why are you scared of taking a test?
00:38:22Unless you have something that you're not telling us.
00:38:25I'm not scared.
00:38:28Doctor, when can we run the test?
00:38:30The baby is still early term. I recommend waiting a month for the most reliable results.
00:38:37Fine. We'll wait.
00:38:40If the baby is mine, then I'll take full responsibility for you and the child.
00:38:44If this doesn't cover up what you did, I'll still pay for it.
00:38:48I dodged the bullet this time, but what about next month?
00:38:52I need to find a way to protect myself and this baby, no matter what it takes.
00:39:05Vivian, I brought you some tea.
00:39:08Oh, thank you. I'm not much of a tea drinker.
00:39:11How about we go shopping for baby clothes together? I thought it'd be a nice way for us to bond.
00:39:17Can I have Anna go with you? I have work to do.
00:39:21Well, let me make one thing clear. Your engagement is over.
00:39:25I'm not your mother-in-law, and you will be gone in a month.
00:39:28What about Noah's baby? Does this child not mean anything to you? I mean, you're a mother, too.
00:39:33We'll talk about this next month after the test.
00:39:36Ma'am.
00:39:39Catherine's calling.
00:39:43Catherine?
00:39:45She's Mr. Harper's grandmother. She lives in Florida.
00:39:48Her birthday is coming up, and Miss Harper's planning a big celebration.
00:39:53Noah's always talked about how much he loves his grandma. This could be it.
00:39:57If I can get Noah's grandmother on my side at the party, I might still secure my place in the Harper family.
00:40:06Vivian's impossible! She does not respond to kindness, and trying to win her over is a waste of time.
00:40:13We really did mess up that day. If we had known who she was, maybe things would have been different.
00:40:18Well, I heard that the real power of the Harper family isn't Vivian. It's Noah's grandmother, Catherine.
00:40:25She's the one in charge, but she stays in Florida and lets Vivian manage things.
00:40:29Honestly, you don't need to take her seriously.
00:40:31Exactly. She's just some middle-aged woman trying to act tough. There's no way she's running a whole empire.
00:40:38Your only leverage is this baby, and if anything happens to it, we're screwed.
00:40:43Did you hear about Jonathan? He's dumb. He can't even show his face in L.A.
00:40:48I guess Mia hasn't told them who the baby's father really is.
00:40:52So, Mia, what's the plan?
00:40:54Don't worry about it. I've got everything under control.
00:40:59So, what should I get Noah's grandmother?
00:41:04LAUGHTER
00:41:10Catherine, how have you been feeling lately?
00:41:13Oh, I've been in the sun so much, I'm practically glowing. How is the wedding ceremony coming along for Noah?
00:41:22Well, the engagement? It's been delayed.
00:41:26Delayed? Why? Is Noah okay?
00:41:29You know, Vivian, you know I'm not getting any younger. I'm turning 80 next week, and I just want to be a grandma before it's too late.
00:41:40You know, the Harper family just seems so distant lately. I just want us to feel like a real family again.
00:41:52No, the Harper family is fine. Nothing bad has happened.
00:42:00Vivian's nothing but a puppet. Looks like Noah's grandmother is the one calling the shots.
00:42:06Her birthday's next week. This is my last chance. If I can get on her good side, I'll secure my spot in the Harper family.
00:42:15Are the gifts ready for Catherine?
00:42:17Yes, ma'am. Mr. George double-checked everything. It's all set.
00:42:30Why'd we take the long way, ma'am?
00:42:31The media's already running wild with stories about Noah and some mysterious lady. I do not need to stir up things even more.
00:42:36You've always kept a low profile. Who'd have thought it'd cause this much trouble?
00:42:39You just got back to the U.S., so no one in L.A. knows that you're the one actually running the business association, and if they did...
00:42:45Enough, Anna. Listen, let's just get inside.
00:42:50Invitation, please.
00:42:52Oh, I don't have one.
00:42:53I'm so sorry, ma'am. I forgot to set one aside for you.
00:42:57No invitation, no entry. Who do you think you are showing up here without one?
00:43:02Excuse me, do you even know who you're talking to?
00:43:05I don't care who you are. This is a private event for the Harper family. Who could possibly outrank them?
00:43:10Seriously, who shows up to an event like this without a car?
00:43:15What are you, lost or something? Step aside and let the guest through.
00:43:20I...
00:43:23Watch your mouth! This is Miss Harper, Mr. Harper's mother.
00:43:27Mrs. Harper, you're right. And I'm the CEO of Harper Group.
00:43:32Get Edward now. Our family butler and event manager. Tell him I need to see him, please.
00:43:37She knows Edward?
00:43:42Wow, you've really done your research. I can't believe you even know who Mr. Edward is.
00:43:46Enough! Get Edward now.
00:43:48Like Edward would ever waste his time on someone like you. Get out of here before this gets embarrassing.
00:43:54Welcome, Mrs. Harper.
00:43:56Here's our invitation. Want to double check it?
00:43:59Of course not. Mr. Edward already told us you were coming. Especially with the baby on the way.
00:44:05Miss Mia, you're Mr. Harper's fiancé. Why don't you tell them who we are?
00:44:11I'm too worn out for all this commotion.
00:44:14Don't worry, Mrs. Harper. We'll take care of it.
00:44:17We'll take care of it.
00:44:24Get out now before I throw you out myself.
00:44:29What exactly are you planning on throwing out?
00:44:35What's going on?
00:44:37This woman claimed to be your mother and disrespected Mrs. Sullivan.
00:44:40Well, when teaching her a lesson, it was the right move.
00:44:42Edward! So this is how you're training them now?
00:44:45You! Idiot!
00:44:47Do you have any idea who this is? Have you lost your mind?
00:44:52This is Mrs. Harper, Mr. Harper's mother!
00:44:58My deepest apologies, sir.
00:45:00Matt, I should have done a better job at keeping my subordinates in line.
00:45:05They not only embarrassed me, they also humiliated my mother.
00:45:08You're absolutely right, sir. And whatever punishment you see fit, I will humbly accept.
00:45:13Moron!
00:45:16Apologize to Mr. Harper and his mother right now!
00:45:20We apologize. We didn't know who you were.
00:45:23Please forgive us.
00:45:24Enough. Get up.
00:45:29Edward, if this happens again, you're done as head steward.
00:45:32Understood, sir. Please.
00:45:44Okay. Well, Mom, everything's set up exactly how Grandma likes it.
00:45:49You're so thoughtful. So nice.
00:45:52Is that no secret mistress? And he brought her here?
00:45:56Man, only rich people pull stunts like this.
00:45:58Watch what you're saying. This is Mrs. Katherine Harper's birthday.
00:46:01Show some respect.
00:46:03That's her daughter-in-law. She just got back from overseas.
00:46:06I gotta go pick up Grandma now, but let me know if anything comes up.
00:46:09Of course. I will be fine.
00:46:15Showing up to a huge birthday party like this empty-handed? That's pretty bold.
00:46:20Mia, I'm sure the gift you got Mr. Harper's grandmother will blow her away.
00:46:24She'll be so proud of her thoughtful granddaughter-in-law.
00:46:27Nothing makes a grandmother happier than a newlywed.
00:46:30Once the little one comes, it'll be the best gift of all.
00:46:33Exactly what this family needs.
00:46:36Let's toast, Vivian.
00:46:43It's a very special day today.
00:46:47Why did you push me?
00:46:49How could you push her, Mrs. Harper? She's carrying the Harper family bloodline.
00:46:59A mother-in-law pushing her pregnant daughter-in-law?
00:47:02I don't know what you're talking about, Vivian.
00:47:04I don't know what you're talking about.
00:47:06I don't know what you're talking about.
00:47:08I don't know what you're talking about.
00:47:10I don't know what you're talking about.
00:47:13A mother-in-law pushing her pregnant daughter-in-law?
00:47:16That is brutal. Way over the line.
00:47:19Wow! I guess Mia was right. You never liked her.
00:47:23I guess she proves it to everyone here.
00:47:26Mia, your performances are getting better and better.
00:47:29Too bad I didn't touch you.
00:47:31I wasn't trying to cause any trouble. I just wanted us to be closer.
00:47:36I know you don't want...
00:47:37Closer? Are you kidding me?
00:47:40You refuse to believe this baby is Noah's and now this?
00:47:43I know you don't like me, but why deny your own grandchild?
00:47:49Whether this is Noah's baby or isn't, it's not up to you.
00:47:54The DNA test will tell the truth.
00:47:56You're just jealous.
00:47:58You have this strange relationship with your son.
00:48:01You can't stand that I'm the most important woman in his life now.
00:48:05You just want control over Noah.
00:48:07For someone like you, Mrs. Harper, it's pitiful.
00:48:11The security footage will tell the truth.
00:48:14Mia, if I wanted to hurt your baby, why would I wait until now?
00:48:19Stop lying all that, Mia.
00:48:25I just wanted a happy family.
00:48:28I don't know why you hate me so much.
00:48:32Everyone saw it. You pushed me.
00:48:35That's right. We all saw it.
00:48:38She shot Mia.
00:48:40If this hurts Mia or the baby, who will take responsibility?
00:48:44Two lives are at stake.
00:48:46Mia, I never thought you would stoop this low, hurting yourself to play the victim.
00:48:52But listen carefully.
00:48:54No matter how low you go, no matter what stunt you pull,
00:48:58you will never be a part of this family.
00:49:03This is who the real Vivian Harper is.
00:49:08She hides behind her power and money, but she's heartless.
00:49:13She's pregnant. Should we get her to a hospital or something?
00:49:16This party is over. It was over before it started.
00:49:19These two are going to tear the family apart.
00:49:21You don't deserve to be her mother-in-law.
00:49:24Everyone, we should kick her out.
00:49:26Yeah, yeah, kick her out.
00:49:29Exactly. And if anything happens to Mia's baby, Vivian Harper is a murderer.
00:49:34Are we just going to let her get away with this?
00:49:36Hell no. Kick her out of here already.
00:49:38Yeah, get out.
00:49:39I'd like to see anyone try.
00:49:47Catherine.
00:49:48Ma'am.
00:49:51Ma'am, Vivian pushed me.
00:49:54Thank you all for coming to celebrate an old lady's birthday.
00:50:00All the noise. Vivian, you planned a lovely party.
00:50:06But the theatrics are unnecessary.
00:50:11Let me be clear.
00:50:14If anyone wants to stir up any trouble tonight,
00:50:19you will answer to me.
00:50:23I'm Noah's fiance.
00:50:26I don't mean to make a scene or anything.
00:50:29It's just that Vivian accidentally pushed me earlier.
00:50:34I know Vivian very well.
00:50:37And if you didn't provoke her,
00:50:40And if you didn't provoke her,
00:50:43she's not the type of person who acts without reason.
00:50:50I never touched her.
00:50:51You can check the security footage for proof.
00:50:54Mom, you don't need to defend yourself.
00:50:56It's something that she wouldn't do.
00:50:58Mia.
00:51:01What are you up to?
00:51:03Ma'am, I'm so sorry.
00:51:05I must have been overwhelmed, nervous about the baby.
00:51:09I panicked and lost my balance.
00:51:12Maybe I overreacted a little bit.
00:51:15But I was just nervous.
00:51:16I was so worried about the baby.
00:51:18You're pregnant?
00:51:23Yes.
00:51:25I'm carrying Noah's baby.
00:51:29This is great news for our family.
00:51:32Why didn't you tell me on the phone earlier?
00:51:35We had to wait a week back then.
00:51:37But we just got the DNA test today to confirm.
00:51:40DNA results?
00:51:42From the moment I saved him from that accident,
00:51:45I've given everything for Noah.
00:51:50I wasn't able to recognize Vivian, and I disrespected her.
00:51:54And I am sorry.
00:51:58If Noah and Vivian can't forgive me, I'll leave.
00:52:04If it makes things easier, I'll end this pregnancy.
00:52:10Oh, sweetheart.
00:52:12Don't even think about that.
00:52:16Why are you considering DNA testing?
00:52:20That could be dangerous for the baby.
00:52:22This is absurd.
00:52:24Grandma, it's not what you think.
00:52:25It's...
00:52:26She's...
00:52:27Mia, you're expecting.
00:52:30And your health is priority.
00:52:33And if anything happens, you come to me directly.
00:52:39Vivian, you're her mother-in-law.
00:52:43Show some compassion.
00:52:46You should know better than anyone as a father,
00:52:50it's family first.
00:52:53Yes, I do.
00:52:54Oh, please don't be upset with her.
00:52:56I promise no matter what happens, I'll take care of this baby.
00:53:00You are so thoughtful.
00:53:03For your birthday, I prepared something very special.
00:53:10Bring in the gift!
00:53:13I hear you're a fan of rare collectibles,
00:53:16so I found this royal tiara worn by the former Queen of England just for you.
00:53:22It's priceless and it's over a century old.
00:53:26This tiara is a symbol of your timeless elegance and grace.
00:53:31A true tiara.
00:53:33Priceless, timeless, and utterly exquisite.
00:53:36She put real thought into this gift.
00:53:38What an impressive gift.
00:53:40Oh, Mia, you've outdone yourself.
00:53:44Hearing of your love of art,
00:53:46I tracked down this wonderful treasure.
00:53:50Whispers of the Morning Light by Amelia Winter.
00:53:53It's crafted with rare pigments and precision techniques,
00:53:57making it at least ten million dollars.
00:54:01Amelia Winter, her works are legendary.
00:54:04Honestly, that could be worth way more than ten million.
00:54:08Oh, I love anyone who appreciates fine art.
00:54:14Mia, you certainly do know how to butter people up.
00:54:18What do you mean?
00:54:19I've worked hard to find meaningful gifts for Miss Catherine.
00:54:24Are you saying you can do better?
00:54:26In due time, you will see the difference between us.
00:54:31In due time, you will see the difference between us.
00:54:34Difference?
00:54:35I'm not finished yet, then.
00:54:38Ma'am, my third gift to you,
00:54:45a beachfront mansion in Malibu!
00:54:50In the exclusive Crimson Beach area.
00:54:54Oh, good.
00:54:56Malibu? That's prime real estate.
00:54:58But Crimson Beach?
00:55:01It's a gesture of goodwill from my family to the Harper's.
00:55:06All I ask is just your blessing for me and my child to stay
00:55:11and for my marriage to Noah.
00:55:14Grandma, these gifts don't mean anything.
00:55:16I will take responsibility for the baby, but I'm not going to marry Mia.
00:55:22Really? It looks like the Stones hardly tried.
00:55:26They just threw in some random mansion to appease Catherine.
00:55:29Ma'am, the mansion is worth fifty million.
00:55:32We had to pull a lot of strings to get that.
00:55:35And who are you to question us?
00:55:37I bet you couldn't even manage to get a property on Crimson Beach.
00:55:41That mansion is one of the most exclusive in L.A.,
00:55:44and she has the nerve to call it trash?
00:55:47Are you sure that mansion is in the middle of Crimson Beach?
00:55:50How does she know it isn't?
00:55:52Because I've owned Wave Song Villa,
00:55:55the most expensive beachfront property in L.A., for a while now.
00:56:02Vivian, when did you get Wave Song Villa?
00:56:06Mia, admit it. That house is not in the center of Crimson Beach.
00:56:09Fine. It's not in the center,
00:56:12but it's only because when I tried to buy that place,
00:56:15Wave Song Villa was already taken,
00:56:17so I had to settle for Sunset Villa over in the northeast.
00:56:21Wait, so Ms. Stone's mansion isn't even prime real estate?
00:56:24Wow, Vivian bought Wave Song Villa? What a bold move.
00:56:29So, Mia, now that Catherine's around, are you done sucking up?
00:56:32I have someone monitoring all the money that flows in and out of Harper Corp.
00:56:35If she bought Wave Song Villa, I'd be the first to know.
00:56:38This doesn't prove that Wave Song Villa is yours.
00:56:41Mia's right. Wave Songs work more than twice as much as Sunset Villa.
00:56:45If anyone snatched it up, everyone would know.
00:56:48Mom, did you really buy Wave Song Villa? I mean, that's quite the purchase.
00:56:52I have someone on their way right now with a deed to the property.
00:56:57Vivian, you're bluffing.
00:56:59Just to make me look bad,
00:57:02There's no way you could ever afford a place like that on your own.
00:57:06Let's see if you think I'm still bluffing in five minutes.
00:57:13Vivian, Mia's gifts are genuine and heartfelt,
00:57:17and nothing you can say can change that.
00:57:21I just wanted to make Grandma Catherine happy,
00:57:25so that us Harpers could be a big, happy family.
00:57:31But I guess you're never satisfied.
00:57:35Mia.
00:57:36Stop causing trouble.
00:57:39If people knew you were competing with your daughter-in-law,
00:57:43you'd be the joke of the city.
00:57:45I'm not trying to compete with Mia.
00:57:47It's just that her cheap gifts are an insult to the Harper family.
00:57:51Are you calling my carefully chosen gifts cheap?
00:57:56Am I wrong?
00:57:58These gifts are nice.
00:58:00Maybe not more than $20 million.
00:58:03Extravagant, maybe, even to the untrained eye.
00:58:07But you have to do a lot more than that to impress me.
00:58:11What the hell, Vivian?
00:58:18What the hell, Vivian?
00:58:21Mom, you need to calm down.
00:58:23Vivian, you ruined the Stone family gifts.
00:58:27You are seriously evil.
00:58:29Geez, Catherine looks furious.
00:58:31Vivian's in trouble now.
00:58:34Ma'am, you have to get back at her.
00:58:36The Harpers want nothing from you.
00:58:39Ma'am, she keeps trashing on my birthday gifts
00:58:41when she can't even do better herself.
00:58:42I mean, come on.
00:58:44She showed up empty-handed.
00:58:47George should be here by now.
00:58:49I can so do better than her.
00:58:51I can easily do better than her.
00:58:54I can do better than her.
00:58:56I can do better than her.
00:58:58I can do better than her.
00:59:00I can do better than her.
00:59:02I can easily do better than her.
00:59:05Everybody knows that Vivian is masquerading
00:59:07as this fake, strong, independent woman
00:59:09living off her family's money.
00:59:11If she wasn't a Harper, she'd be a broke nobody.
00:59:14Vivian's got a point.
00:59:15Harpers wants to thank Catherine and Noah, not Vivian.
00:59:18Vivian talks big game, but can she actually back it up?
00:59:25Stop! What are you doing?
00:59:27No! That's the deed!
00:59:33No!
00:59:39The tiara, the mansion, the painting.
00:59:41I'll pay you back double for it.
00:59:43Ma'am, she's out of control.
00:59:45Please do something!
00:59:54Isn't that George Jones,
00:59:56president of the L.A. Chamber of Commerce?
00:59:58The man who controls the internal operations
01:00:00of Harper Corp. and every major business in the city?
01:00:03You know, I heard that he's just a figurehead,
01:00:06but how does he know Mrs. Harper?
01:00:08Who the hell is Vivian Harper, anyway?
01:00:11I present a Cartier brooch,
01:00:13once belonging to a former first lady of the United States.
01:00:16Wait, wasn't that sold at an auction recently
01:00:19for $100 million?
01:00:21How'd it get here?
01:00:23The title, to a 200-foot superyacht.
01:00:26A superyacht? That's the pinnacle of luxury!
01:00:29A portrait of Mrs. Catherine Harper,
01:00:32painted by the one and only Amelia Winter.
01:00:37Wait, Amelia Winter retired ages ago.
01:00:41I can't believe she would come out of retirement
01:00:43to paint a portrait for someone.
01:00:45If Vivian really persuaded her to come out of retirement,
01:00:47this portrait is worth way more than $100 million.
01:00:50If Vivian really persuaded her to come out of retirement,
01:00:52this portrait is worth way more than a painting that Mia brought.
01:00:55The deed to Wavesong Villa,
01:00:58located in the heart of Crimson Beach.
01:01:01So Mrs. Harper really did get Wavesong.
01:01:04You know, I've heard rumors of her clout,
01:01:06but this is on a whole other level.
01:01:09And security will bring along royal jewelry,
01:01:11watches, and handbags from the 18th century.
01:01:14All absolute masterpieces.
01:01:16Vivian could have started a museum with all those rare artifacts,
01:01:19or gave them as gifts instead.
01:01:23These aren't just gifts.
01:01:24She gave the lady a goddamn treasure chest.
01:01:27This can't be all from one person.
01:01:30This is unthinkable.
01:01:32Harper is a widow. Where would she get all the money for this?
01:01:35There's a rumor that she's the CEO of Harper Corp
01:01:37and the richest woman in L.A.
01:01:39Must be true.
01:01:40Her wealth is unmatched.
01:01:42God, I way underestimated her.
01:01:45I mean, I took on some crazy debt to afford all those gifts.
01:01:48Trying to one-up her was the wrong move.
01:01:51Mr. Jones!
01:01:53It's so nice to see you in person.
01:01:55Had I known you'd be here,
01:01:57I would have rolled out the red carpet.
01:02:00Please excuse our lack of preparedness.
01:02:04Ma'am, you flatter me.
01:02:05Vivian, where on earth did you get the funds?
01:02:09I mean, this is practically worth half the Harper fortune.
01:02:14Mrs. Harper, I brought everything you asked for.
01:02:17I hope you find it to be sufficient.
01:02:20Vivian, what's this all about?
01:02:23I'm sorry that I didn't tell you sooner.
01:02:26I'm behind the L.A. Chamber of Commerce.
01:02:29I've used my extensive connections and networks abroad
01:02:32to curate these items for the last few years.
01:02:35So, Mom, you're the one that's calling all the shots behind the scenes?
01:02:38My God, the elusive Chamber of Commerce president is Mrs. Harper herself.
01:02:44No wonder she's so loaded.
01:02:46Ma'am, Vivian spent years collecting all these items for you.
01:02:50Oh, Vivian, you're the sweetest daughter-in-law and so generous.
01:02:56No! I don't believe it.
01:02:59She couldn't have done this all on her own.
01:03:01Where did you get these gifts?
01:03:04I know they didn't come from her.
01:03:06Shut your mouth.
01:03:09How dare you insult my daughter-in-law?
01:03:14Leah, I know those gifts were your way of securing your place in the Harper family.
01:03:19It was a nice try, really.
01:03:21It's too bad they're all terrible fakes.
01:03:26You're lying! This is slander!
01:03:30If this tiara is real, the royal family's markings would be inside.
01:03:35These markings are fake.
01:03:37Liar! I paid a collector half a million for that.
01:03:40Shall we check?
01:03:42Come look.
01:03:43What are you doing?
01:03:46The markings inside of this are from a second-rate jeweler.
01:03:49No queen has ever worn this.
01:03:53It's nothing but a second-rate cheap copy.
01:04:06That collector pulled a fast one on me!
01:04:09The collector, was it?
01:04:10What about the Whispers of the Morning Light painting?
01:04:12Same collector, right?
01:04:14The painting's fake, too? Holy shit!
01:04:16I thought it was signed by the painter herself.
01:04:20Catherine, Mia is nothing but a schema with no morals.
01:04:27She cannot marry Noah.
01:04:30There's no reason for us to believe that she's being honest about carrying Noah's child.
01:04:36Grandma, I took Mia to get her DNA tested last week.
01:04:41I'm expecting the results back today.
01:04:44Like I said before, I'll take care of the kid if it's mine.
01:04:48I'm not marrying Mia.
01:04:52Ma'am, I've devoted years to the Harper family and to Noah.
01:04:56I, I, please, please, I, I want to be part of this family.
01:05:02Enough! You've been nothing but chaos to the Harper family.
01:05:08You'll never be a Harper.
01:05:13She could lie to the head of the Harper family. She'd lie to anyone.
01:05:17This chick is getting what she deserves.
01:05:19Ma'am, but think about, think about the baby.
01:05:22You wouldn't want the baby to grow up without a father.
01:05:26After tonight, you're dead to us.
01:05:43Mia, Mia, snap out of it.
01:05:45What am I going to do?
01:05:46I stole the Sunset Villa deed from my dad.
01:05:49If he finds out it's missing, I am finished.
01:05:52Mia, you have to fix this.
01:05:53I'm already finished.
01:05:54And it's all because of that Vivian Harper.
01:05:58She's pushed me this far.
01:06:01So don't blame me for what happens next.
01:06:10Vivian, I opened a new tea business recently.
01:06:15And I had a special peppermint blend made just for you.
01:06:23Try some.
01:06:25Thank you, Catherine.
01:06:26I know you've been a tea connoisseur for years, so I know it will be top of the line.
01:06:33Madam.
01:06:35Enjoy.
01:06:40Fresh tea's got a kick to it.
01:06:42But this has no smell at all.
01:06:44Something's off.
01:06:46You know, I think Mia should have some too.
01:06:49Peppermint tea is known to relieve nausea symptoms in expectant mothers.
01:06:53Oh, no, I'm good.
01:06:55Thanks.
01:06:56I wouldn't want to deny you Catherine's tea.
01:07:00Nonsense.
01:07:02We can't let word getting out that the Harpers are a bad host.
01:07:05You make a good point.
01:07:07By the way, Edward?
01:07:19What's wrong, Mia?
01:07:21Are you refusing Catherine's tea?
01:07:23No.
01:07:25No, nothing's wrong.
01:07:33Okay, what's wrong?
01:07:35Did you poison it?
01:07:36Is it poisoned?
01:07:46What are you freaking out about?
01:07:49You were looking so confident when you brought the gifts in.
01:07:53Why does it look like there's something mixed in with the tea?
01:07:56The tea's been tampered with.
01:07:59Ryan.
01:08:01Check the security cameras, especially the ones in the kitchen.
01:08:05Speak up.
01:08:07Why did you do it?
01:08:15Noah's grandmother still wants the baby, but Mrs. Harper is standing in her way.
01:08:19You know, I heard that the old lady had a special peppermint tea blend made especially for Miss Harper.
01:08:31This must be it.
01:08:42If I can't stay in the Harper family, then Vivian can't stay on this earth.
01:08:56Come on, tell us.
01:08:58Why did you try to poison me?
01:09:01I don't know what you're talking about.
01:09:08This is attempted murder.
01:09:11I didn't touch the tea, it wasn't me.
01:09:15Boss, I found traces of cyanide powder on the kitchen floor.
01:09:19There's surveillance footage too.
01:09:24I didn't do anything.
01:09:26Noah was hungry, so we went into the kitchen to get food.
01:09:29Noah, you know me.
01:09:31I wouldn't even know how to poison somebody.
01:09:35It couldn't have been me.
01:09:36It's true.
01:09:37I just went with Mia to get something to eat.
01:09:39Assault and kidnapping.
01:09:42That's going to get you a couple years in prison.
01:09:45But now you try to poison me?
01:09:47You're going to be locked away for life.
01:09:49Guards.
01:09:51Take them away.
01:09:55Mia, you can't abandon me.
01:09:58I did this as a favor to you.
01:10:00It was Bella.
01:10:01She did it.
01:10:02I'm innocent.
01:10:04Really, Mia?
01:10:06You're the mastermind behind all of this.
01:10:08It was you who told us to strip Vivian and beat her up.
01:10:11It was you who filmed that explicit video that went viral.
01:10:13You only have the deed to Sunset Village because I gave it to you.
01:10:16And you're the one who told us to poison Mia.
01:10:18That's everything.
01:10:20That's everything.
01:10:21It has nothing to do with me.
01:10:22Please, I don't want to go to jail.
01:10:24Shut up!
01:10:27If you guys hadn't convinced me that Noah was cheating on me,
01:10:30I wouldn't have jumped to conclusions about Vivian.
01:10:33And if you hadn't given me the cyanide powder and told me about the deed,
01:10:37I wouldn't have been tricked into poisoning it.
01:10:39She's been the one who has been manipulating me this whole time.
01:10:43Enough.
01:10:46Take them both away.
01:10:48Wait, Mr. Harper.
01:10:51I know Mia's secrets.
01:10:52I will tell you all of them if you spare me.
01:10:55Your secrets?
01:10:58No, I don't have any secrets.
01:11:00She's just lying.
01:11:02Mr. Harper, if you agree not to press charges against me,
01:11:05I will tell you everything that I know.
01:11:08It depends what these secrets are.
01:11:11Bella, seriously, shut up.
01:11:13Mia, you sold me out.
01:11:14I am just returning the favor.
01:11:16Stop yapping,
01:11:18or I'll rip your goddamn tongue out.
01:11:21Go on.
01:11:23Talk.
01:11:26She's been scamming you since day one.
01:11:30Remember the car accident?
01:11:34She and her lover planned it to get your money.
01:11:41It is no coincidence that you were saved that day.
01:11:45The car accident was staged by her and her lover.
01:11:49The whole plan was to get your sympathy,
01:11:52get you to shower her with money,
01:11:54and then eventually marry her.
01:11:55But that entire time that you two have been together,
01:11:58she's never lost touch with Jonathan.
01:12:00She's lying.
01:12:01She's making everything up.
01:12:03You don't even need to take a DNA test,
01:12:05because that child that she is carrying is not yours.
01:12:09It's her lover's, Jonathan.
01:12:11And the original plan with all of that
01:12:14was to have her have your child and then murder you
01:12:18so the child could inherit the Harper Corporation.
01:12:21Mia, you plotted to kill my son?
01:12:27You make me sick, Mia.
01:12:29Thank God I solved your act before it was too late.
01:12:32No, no.
01:12:33She's just jealous.
01:12:34She's lying.
01:12:35She's jealous because I'm the one that's going to marry you
01:12:38and have your baby.
01:12:40It is not jealousy.
01:12:41It is fact.
01:12:42Look, I have proof.
01:12:43Give it to me!
01:12:44No!
01:12:51That Harper boy is a total idiot.
01:12:55I had Jonathan drive right towards him,
01:12:58and then I jumped right in front and acted like I saved him.
01:13:02He totally bought it.
01:13:04Geez, Mia.
01:13:05I can't believe you pulled this off.
01:13:06I know.
01:13:07It was so easy.
01:13:08Now he's eating out of my hand.
01:13:13And you know, I'm pregnant.
01:13:15It's Jonathan's.
01:13:17But that idiot Noah will have no clue.
01:13:21And Jonathan's on board with this?
01:13:23Absolutely.
01:13:24Once the baby's born,
01:13:26Noah just has to have a little accident.
01:13:29And then the Harper fortune will be all ours.
01:13:39You are disgusting.
01:13:44Shameless.
01:13:47Scheming.
01:13:50Murderous.
01:13:53No, it's not what you think.
01:13:57Vivian, Noah, please don't believe her.
01:14:00That recording is fake.
01:14:01That recording is 100% legit.
01:14:03You have to trust me, Mr. Harper.
01:14:05How can he trust you?
01:14:06I'm the one he's marrying.
01:14:08We'll get in touch with that lover of yours
01:14:11and see if he corroborates what Bella has said.
01:14:16We'll remove anyone.
01:14:18You'll never set foot in L.A. again.
01:14:21We did nothing wrong.
01:14:24To anyone who thinks I won't have them kicked out of L.A.,
01:14:32I won't have them kicked out of L.A.
01:14:36Watch me.
01:14:39Noah?
01:14:45I want all the Smith operations in L.A. shut down.
01:14:48Wipe them off the face of the earth.
01:14:55Dad?
01:14:57What?
01:14:58Our company went under?
01:15:00Uncles, too?
01:15:05Everything's ruined.
01:15:08Mr. Harper, all of you, please, please spare my family.
01:15:13I promise the Smiths will cut ties with the Stones family right now.
01:15:19Okay.
01:15:21Everybody, one last chance.
01:15:24Cut ties with the Stones and you can leave right now.
01:15:29If it turns out that Mia's baby is not mine,
01:15:32I promise you to more than just to kick you out of this city.
01:15:35No, don't cut ties with us.
01:15:37I am certain that Mia's baby is a Harper child.
01:15:42Well, it looks like even your friends don't trust you.
01:15:45Anything else to say, Mia?
01:15:49Noah, you're the only man in my life.
01:15:53I know I've made mistakes,
01:15:55but I've been taking care of you, making up for it this whole time.
01:15:58I haven't talked to Jonathan in forever.
01:16:01Really?
01:16:03I think he probably misses you.
01:16:05Mr. Harper, I want to show you a video that Jonathan sent me.
01:16:10What video?
01:16:19Well?
01:16:21So I'm the father?
01:16:23You don't believe me.
01:16:25Yeah, I believe you.
01:16:28What's the plan with Noah?
01:16:30Our kid is going to be the Harper heir.
01:16:35I just have to get Noah out of the way and you'll be a billionaire.
01:16:41That's such a moron.
01:16:43I don't know how they let a loser like that get so rich.
01:16:52You've been lying to me for three goddamn years?
01:16:55No, no.
01:16:58Please, I haven't lied to you.
01:17:00I don't even know Jonathan.
01:17:02Bullshit!
01:17:03Noah, he's the guy that you beat up at the wedding.
01:17:06Fuck you!
01:17:08Noah, I love you so much.
01:17:10I can't live without you.
01:17:14Mia, even now, you still can't admit it.
01:17:17Vivian, I'm as confused as you are.
01:17:19The recordings are fake.
01:17:21What these people are saying is false.
01:17:23I promise this baby is Noah's.
01:17:27Bring the DNA results.
01:17:30Yes, Ms. Harper.
01:17:34These DNA test results came back today.
01:17:37They prove that the child that Mia is carrying is not Noah's.
01:17:44No, she's lying!
01:17:46The report is vague!
01:17:48Get off me!
01:17:50You despicable little whore!
01:17:54I did not raise you to be like this!
01:17:57Mr. Harper, please.
01:18:00Give me another chance.
01:18:02Take them away.
01:18:04No, no, no!
01:18:06You can't do this to me!
01:18:08No!
01:18:09And that goes for everyone else here as well.
01:18:11You can either leave now or be taken away by the police like them.
01:18:21I'm sorry, Mom.
01:18:23You fit this trip home into your busy schedule and it just turned out to be a total mess.
01:18:28I should have protected you.
01:18:31Grandma, it's my fault.
01:18:34I let the stone slip underneath the radar and spoiled your big day.
01:18:38Don't be so hard on yourself.
01:18:41If this had not happened, we wouldn't have seen the Stone family's true colors.
01:18:46I share the blame, too.
01:18:48I was just so obsessed to have a great-grandchild.
01:18:53Guys, I know I've been preoccupied lately with business matters,
01:18:59but I promise I'm going to pay more attention to the family in the future.
01:19:04Well, it's too bad all the drama put a damper on the festivities.
01:19:07It was going to be such a nice party.
01:19:09Oh, it was fine.
01:19:12Well, I did arrange a little surprise at a Michelin-style restaurant.
01:19:16I was supposed to go later, but what the hell, let's go now.
01:19:22Wonderful.
01:19:24I have such a good plan, son, and we'll be a family again.
01:19:29Just the three of us.
01:19:31Oh, you guys like spicy, right?
