00:00:00Cheers. May it be full of surprises.
00:00:06Ho, ho, ho. I have a gift for you. Jessica, you have inherited this mansion, along with
00:00:12your father's business empire and assets worth over a billion dollars. I just need a signature
00:00:17from you. Oh, and a hundred and five million dollars in cash.
00:00:21We're rich! Let me hold on to you.
00:00:28You know, my whole life, I grew up in foster care, moving from place to place, and now
00:00:38I finally have a place that I can call home. Well, it's real great to win the jackpot.
00:00:43No, my only wish is to reunite with my mother. You bastard child! You will never reunite
00:00:51with your mother. We made sure that that whore is gone forever.
00:00:55My mother is gone because of you? Well, we had a little help from James Thornton,
00:01:01the most powerful man in the Thornton family. Time for you to go back to your poor little
00:01:06country, sis. Yes, mother. USCIS. Your visa was expired
00:01:11years ago. You're being deported. What? No, there must be some mistake here. Adrian,
00:01:16didn't you help me file my immigration paperwork? Whoops. I guess I screwed up.
00:01:22What? Hey, baby. Adrian, are you cheating on me? With her?
00:01:30Choose the right side, babe. You'll never win against them.
00:01:33That's true. According to the terms of the will, non-citizens
00:01:37are not eligible to inherit the estate. Everything will pass through your next of kin, Lisa Ann
00:01:43Kristen Miller. You thought you could get rich overnight?
00:01:49Dreaming. Seriously?
00:01:51Bon voyage, have sis.
00:02:00The boss is urging. They're about to deport a woman named Jessica Miller.
00:02:05Jessica Miller? It's her.
00:02:09Oh, thank God you're alive. She's so beautiful and kind. The girl I've
00:02:20always dreamed of. She saved my life once. I owe her.
00:02:29Wait, wait, wait. Jessica?
00:02:31Do I know you? She doesn't remember me.
00:02:39I'm Daniel. You're a lawyer. Just pretend we know each other.
00:02:43If I can get you out of here. I've spoken to the judge, and Miss Miller
00:02:47should be released immediately. We can't deport her. She is about to marry
00:02:53a U.S. citizen. Who's the lucky guy?
00:02:57I am. I'll marry her.
00:03:05A fake marriage won't save her. Our marriage is real.
00:03:08Yeah. A hundred percent real.
00:03:10Prove it then.
00:03:18That's it? You call that a kiss?
00:03:32Need more proof, officer? Look, this guy was a lawyer to some of the most
00:03:37important families in town. And if you don't let her go?
00:03:41Then he'll make sure you lose your damn job. Fine, you can have her.
00:03:45Thank you, officer.
00:03:50Guys, I think we're good.
00:03:53It's not over.
00:03:57We'll be checking your marital status and conducting interviews.
00:04:00And there are a few very specific requirements you should know.
00:04:03Make sure you two are staying in the same house and sleeping in the same bed.
00:04:07Or it's game over.
00:04:12Well, thank you for the rescue.
00:04:19Oh, it's no problem.
00:04:21But, um, Daniel, would you, would you marry me?
00:04:28Oh, Jessica, I've waited for this moment for five years.
00:04:31I mean, it would only be a contract marriage.
00:04:35But once I get my green card, I'll inherit my father's business empire
00:04:40and I'll share half of it with you.
00:04:43Even your misunderstanding looks so cute. I only want you, Jessica.
00:04:48But before I get my green card,
00:04:51you're gonna have to help me deal with my stepsister and her mom.
00:04:55They're trying to get rid of me. And they've already stolen my fortune.
00:05:00And they made my mother disappear.
00:05:04Deal.
00:05:06What? That's it?
00:05:11This lily stands for loyalties and new beginnings.
00:05:15Something that I want with you.
00:05:17Now I know it's rushed.
00:05:20But I promise you, I will buy you a proper ring soon.
00:05:30Baby.
00:05:33From now on, let's make every Christmas our own.
00:05:36Filled with memories.
00:05:50You, you can't do this!
00:05:52Jess, it's okay. Just wait here. I'll handle it.
00:06:00What?
00:06:02Why are you helping that girl?
00:06:04Kristen Miller is our ally.
00:06:06And she wants her the hell out of this picture.
00:06:08Too late, Dad. We already got married.
00:06:11Are you insane?
00:06:13Did you forget you're supposed to marry Ashley?
00:06:18Daniel Thornton.
00:06:21My mother is gone because of you?
00:06:23Well, we had a little help from James Thornton.
00:06:26The most powerful man in the Thornton family.
00:06:30Boy, I recognize that face.
00:06:33From the newspaper, that was James Thornton.
00:06:36From the Thornton family. The family responsible for my mother's disappearance.
00:06:44Stop telling me what I can and cannot do.
00:06:46She saved my life. I owe it to her.
00:06:48Blow the hell up, Daniel.
00:06:50You need to remember your position as the heir to our family.
00:06:54And you need to divorce that girl.
00:06:56Now.
00:06:57I'm doing this to clean your mess up.
00:06:59Just leave us alone.
00:07:08Sorry about that.
00:07:10Is your name Daniel Thornton?
00:07:14Yeah.
00:07:16The Thornton family are responsible for the disappearance of my mother.
00:07:21I have been searching for her my entire life.
00:07:25Yes.
00:07:26I can explain.
00:07:27I'm not married.
00:07:28Wait, wait, wait. Jess, Jess.
00:07:30I'm not who you think I am.
00:07:32I have nothing to do with that family.
00:07:34Oh, really? Because your name is right here on the marriage certificate.
00:07:39I share the last name as Thornton, but I am not one of them.
00:07:42Thornton is a common name. Just an ordinary guy.
00:07:45Really? Well, I don't believe you.
00:07:46I saw you talking to James Thornton.
00:07:49Is he your father?
00:07:53Is he your father?
00:07:55No, he's not my father.
00:07:56He was threatening to drive you out of the country and I was not going to have anything to do with it.
00:08:00Jess, I'm on your side.
00:08:03You're not one of them.
00:08:06I'm sorry.
00:08:08It's okay.
00:08:10Don't worry about it.
00:08:15Well, you have a nice apartment.
00:08:18Welcome.
00:08:20Is that your Labrador?
00:08:22It looks exactly like mine.
00:08:23I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine.
00:08:26No way. I got mine as a Christmas present when I was nine.
00:08:29That's crazy.
00:08:34Jess, we're going to have to sleep in the same room together just in case immigration ambush us.
00:08:38Yeah, but are you sure you're okay sleeping on the carpet?
00:08:42I mean, you've done so much for me already and I just...
00:08:45Jess, please. I insist.
00:08:47We made a deal, remember?
00:08:49I also want to thank you for giving me the chance to get rich.
00:08:54It's okay, Daniel.
00:09:24Jess?
00:09:27What are you spying on me?
00:09:30No.
00:09:31No, no, no, no.
00:09:32I was just passing by and just...
00:09:36Do you need anything?
00:09:38I was joking.
00:09:39Yeah, could you pass me the towel?
00:09:42It's just hanging up next to the door.
00:09:45Yeah, sure, sure.
00:09:50Thanks.
00:09:54Bye.
00:10:01Oh my God.
00:10:02What?
00:10:03I just got fired.
00:10:04What?
00:10:07Wait, Jess, let me go with you.
00:10:10What?
00:10:12Yeah.
00:10:13Sam, please, don't fire me.
00:10:15I'm sorry, Jess, but your immigration issue put us in a tough spot.
00:10:21I've worked for this company for years.
00:10:24I'm sorry, Jess. There's nothing I can do.
00:10:29I'm sorry.
00:10:34I'm sorry.
00:10:36I'm sorry.
00:10:38I'm sorry.
00:10:40I'm sorry.
00:10:42I'm sorry.
00:10:46Look who's here.
00:10:47Someone who just got fired.
00:10:51This suits you.
00:10:55It was you.
00:10:57I should have known you were behind this.
00:10:59I'm not going to let you stay here and ruin things.
00:11:01I'm going to take away everything you have, sister.
00:11:09You just made a big mistake, sir.
00:11:10Who are you?
00:11:11My name is Daniel Thornton, son of James Thornton, chairman of Thornton Enterprise.
00:11:18Oh, Mr. Thornton, welcome.
00:11:23What brings you here?
00:11:26Well, I have some good news for you.
00:11:29Jessica Miller, she's just closed a billion dollar deal.
00:11:34Take a look.
00:11:35Take a look.
00:11:46Oh, my God.
00:11:51It's real.
00:11:53Absolutely.
00:11:55With her hard work and dedication, she's made this possible.
00:11:58It's a real shame you're going to lose such a valuable employee.
00:12:01Oh, Mr. Thornton, I have made a huge mistake.
00:12:08Jessica will stay.
00:12:11Good.
00:12:13And make sure nobody knows we have this conversation.
00:12:21Jessica, you should have told me.
00:12:28What are you talking about, Sam?
00:12:29Jessica, you secured a huge deal for the company.
00:12:35Did you not just fire her?
00:12:37I changed my mind.
00:12:39Jessica's staying.
00:12:41Actually, she's being promoted to sales manager.
00:12:46Can't afford to lose someone as valuable as like her.
00:12:49Great.
00:12:51Thanks, Sam.
00:12:53This is not over.
00:12:59I can't believe it.
00:13:01Jessica kept her job and she gets promoted.
00:13:03Don't worry, Lisa.
00:13:05I just spoke with James Thornton
00:13:07and he had the lawyer change the will in our favor.
00:13:10Jessica will get nothing.
00:13:12Oh, my God.
00:13:14That's fantastic.
00:13:26No way.
00:13:29No way.
00:13:34Jessica, how's work?
00:13:36Did you get your job back?
00:13:38Daniel, I need a lawyer.
00:13:47Wow, look who decided to show up.
00:13:50Too bad for you, Jess.
00:13:52Turns out daddy's will left you nothing.
00:13:55I knew all along Robert wouldn't leave anything
00:13:57for this little pathetic bastard child.
00:14:01You are out of luck.
00:14:03Well, that's a lie.
00:14:05You showed me the will
00:14:07and I signed the documents.
00:14:09I'm sorry, Jessica.
00:14:11I've just discovered a revised will
00:14:13that supports Kristen and Lisa's claims.
00:14:18Mr. Thornton.
00:14:20Who is this?
00:14:22He's my lawyer and a damn good one.
00:14:24Oh.
00:14:26You know, Jess, I didn't realize
00:14:28you had enough money to pay for a fancy little lawyer.
00:14:30You sleep with him?
00:14:33Patrick, can I have a word with you outside?
00:14:36Talk all you want.
00:14:38It won't change anything.
00:14:47All right, Patrick.
00:14:49I'm gonna keep this short and sweet.
00:14:51I know you changed the will to favor Kristen and Lisa.
00:14:53I know what you're talking about, Mr. Thornton.
00:14:54The revised will's solid.
00:14:56Ted found an email exchange with my father.
00:14:58Here, take a look.
00:15:00You've been caught, Patrick.
00:15:02Honor of the will,
00:15:04I'll report you to the Bar Association.
00:15:06You'll lose your license
00:15:08and any chance of practicing law or gain.
00:15:10That goes against your father's wishes.
00:15:12You don't understand the position he put me in.
00:15:14I'll deal with my father.
00:15:16Don't you worry about that.
00:15:18You just worry about doing the right thing.
00:15:19Um,
00:15:21this revised will's a fake.
00:15:23The original will's stamped.
00:15:25What the hell are you doing?
00:15:27He's doing the right thing.
00:15:30Jessica,
00:15:32you've gotten your inheritance back.
00:15:34Congratulations.
00:15:36Oh, my
00:15:38God.
00:15:39Patrick,
00:15:41do what you are supposed to do
00:15:43or James will make sure
00:15:45you face the consequences.
00:15:46Don't listen to her, Patrick.
00:15:48I'll deal with James Thornton.
00:15:50Who the hell do you think you are?
00:15:52James Thornton is one of the most
00:15:54powerful men in this town.
00:15:56I sure can.
00:15:58Isn't that right, Patrick?
00:16:00Yes.
00:16:01The original will stands.
00:16:03No, you are crazy.
00:16:05No, I'm not.
00:16:07According to the original will,
00:16:09Jessica stands to inherit this mansion.
00:16:11Kristen,
00:16:13you're out.
00:16:14I think you two should leave.
00:16:16You homewrecker.
00:16:18Just like your mother.
00:16:20I will not allow violence.
00:16:22I didn't come here
00:16:24to argue over a house
00:16:26and assets.
00:16:28I came here to be recognized
00:16:30as an actual member of this family.
00:16:32Yeah, well, it's easy for you
00:16:34to say you're getting everything.
00:16:36You don't know how lucky you are, Lisa.
00:16:38You grew up with a father who loved you.
00:16:40I had none.
00:16:42And you took my mother away.
00:16:44You took her away from me
00:16:46and I still don't know where she is.
00:16:48You two don't deserve this mansion.
00:16:50And I would rather
00:16:52give it away to charity
00:16:54than to see the two of you living in it.
00:17:02You two should pack your things up.
00:17:04You have one week to leave this house.
00:17:14What the hell were you thinking?
00:17:16Sabotaging my plan?
00:17:18I was just doing the right thing.
00:17:20The right thing?
00:17:22Going against me?
00:17:24Kristen Miller has got no power anymore.
00:17:26Her game is over.
00:17:28I'm sure you didn't come all this way
00:17:30just to argue with me.
00:17:32So what do you want?
00:17:34I just want Jessica to get her mom back.
00:17:37Interesting.
00:17:41What's in it for me?
00:17:42Once Jessica gets her mom back
00:17:44I'll do whatever you want.
00:17:46Whatever I want?
00:17:48Like what exactly?
00:17:50I'll marry Ashley.
00:17:53You'll marry Ashley?
00:17:55Yeah.
00:17:57You're willing to do that?
00:17:59Yeah, I am.
00:18:01But only if she's reunited with her mother.
00:18:05Okay.
00:18:07Deal.
00:18:09I'll make the arrangements.
00:18:11So you're really in love with this one, huh?
00:18:13Yeah.
00:18:15I am.
00:18:17Okay, good.
00:18:19I sure hope she's good.
00:18:21She isn't.
00:18:26What's wrong?
00:18:28We have...
00:18:30a guest.
00:18:32Mrs. Thornton.
00:18:34Good to see you again.
00:18:36Interview time.
00:18:38Great.
00:18:39When did you two meet?
00:18:41Uh, we met at a friend's party two years ago.
00:18:45What do you say, Jessica?
00:18:47Huh?
00:18:49Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:18:51Interesting.
00:18:53And when did you decide to get married?
00:18:55Eight months ago.
00:18:57Six months or eight months, which one is it?
00:18:59Yeah, eight months ago.
00:19:01Sorry, I just...
00:19:03Sorry, I'm always getting mixed up.
00:19:05Sure.
00:19:07Easy mistake to make.
00:19:09And what's your anniversary date?
00:19:11March 15th.
00:19:13March 15th?
00:19:15All right.
00:19:20Uh, that's it?
00:19:22Yes, Mr. Thornton.
00:19:24I have everything I need.
00:19:26I'll report back to the judges.
00:19:30Oh, wait.
00:19:32This.
00:19:34How did we do in there?
00:19:35It was pretty bad.
00:19:38Look,
00:19:41I'm the son of James Thornton.
00:19:43I know who you are.
00:19:46Okay.
00:19:49You want to bribe me?
00:19:51Yes.
00:19:53I can't be bribed.
00:19:55Here's one million dollars.
00:20:01Two million dollars.
00:20:02Two million dollars.
00:20:04Right.
00:20:08Three million dollars.
00:20:10It's tempting,
00:20:12but like I said, you can't bribe me.
00:20:14Please.
00:20:16Can you just give us one more week to prepare?
00:20:18I really want to be with this woman.
00:20:20She means the world to me.
00:20:22She saved my life.
00:20:24I'm not going to take your money,
00:20:26but I'll give you one week.
00:20:28Make it count.
00:20:30Next time,
00:20:32I want to see some genuine affection between you two.
00:20:34If anything seems a bit off,
00:20:36your game's up.
00:20:38Of course.
00:20:40And one more thing,
00:20:42I can tell you two haven't had sex yet.
00:20:44I'm that good, Mr. Daniel.
00:20:46Don't try and fool me.
00:20:52She gave us another chance.
00:20:54Oh, my God.
00:20:56We have one week to get our story straight.
00:21:00Daniel, you've been
00:21:02very, very helpful today.
00:21:20Now,
00:21:22I wanted to make our first Christmas special,
00:21:24so I did a little digging,
00:21:26and I found this.
00:21:28This tree is amazing.
00:21:30What happened?
00:21:32Let me have a look.
00:22:00Um,
00:22:02I have
00:22:04a
00:22:06festive gift
00:22:08for you two.
00:22:15Wow.
00:22:17Jess,
00:22:18you look
00:22:20gorgeous.
00:22:25And then,
00:22:26I told you
00:22:27that's not how you negotiate.
00:22:29You did it.
00:22:31You did it.
00:22:57This could be wrong.
00:22:59Maybe.
00:23:01Maybe not.
00:23:02This could be wrong.
00:23:04Maybe.
00:23:06Maybe not.
00:23:32And that
00:23:34is how you
00:23:36negotiate.
00:23:38You're not a fan.
00:23:53Stop.
00:23:55Hold on.
00:23:56I've got this.
00:23:58Oh.
00:24:02Oh.
00:24:04Oh.
00:24:06Oh.
00:24:08Oh.
00:24:10Oh.
00:24:12Oh.
00:24:14Oh.
00:24:16Oh.
00:24:18Oh.
00:24:20Oh.
00:24:22Oh.
00:24:24Oh.
00:24:26Oh.
00:24:28Oh.
00:24:30Oh.
00:24:32Oh.
00:24:34Oh.
00:24:36Oh.
00:24:38Oh.
00:24:40Oh.
00:24:42Oh.
00:24:44Oh.
00:24:46Oh.
00:24:48Oh.
00:24:50Oh.
00:24:52Oh.
00:24:54Oh.
00:24:56Oh.
00:24:58Oh.
00:25:00Oh.
00:25:02I've seen this before
00:25:04in a magazine,
00:25:05and it looks like one of those
00:25:08Thornton family
00:25:11watches.
00:25:13Is it real?
00:25:15No.
00:25:21You wear a fake watch?
00:25:23Yeah.
00:25:31I'm so happy, Jess.
00:25:40There's also something I need to tell you about your mom.
00:25:59Oh my god.
00:26:00Did I just sleep with Daniel last night?
00:26:02I told him it would only be a contract marriage.
00:26:14Morning.
00:26:15This is the most beautiful morning that I've ever had.
00:26:18Daniel, I'm...
00:26:20I'm so sorry about last night.
00:26:23It was...
00:26:24It wasn't supposed to happen and I promise it will never happen again.
00:26:30She didn't mean it.
00:26:32Oh, Jessica.
00:26:33Last night was amazing.
00:26:38Yeah, Jess.
00:26:40I get it.
00:26:41It was...
00:26:44It was a one-time thing.
00:26:46Yeah, just like...
00:26:47Just a one-time thing.
00:26:49Yeah.
00:26:51Anyway, it's your big day today.
00:26:55You're the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:27:00Thank you for the reminder.
00:27:04Now that you mention it, I'm really scared.
00:27:07Oh, no, Jess.
00:27:09I didn't mean it like that.
00:27:12What I was meant to say is...
00:27:15I'm gonna help.
00:27:22I don't know what to do, Mother.
00:27:23That bitch is kicking us out.
00:27:25We still have a chance.
00:27:27That bastard child needs a unanimous vote from the board
00:27:30to be chosen as the next CEO.
00:27:33So we just need a board member to back us up.
00:27:36I will call Richard.
00:27:37Everyone respects Richard's vote.
00:27:39And I will make sure he doesn't vote for her.
00:27:42And I'll dig up all the dirt I can find on her.
00:27:45You go, girl.
00:27:47Hi.
00:27:56These clothes are beautiful,
00:27:59but, uh, very expensive.
00:28:03Like this one.
00:28:05That is...
00:28:07$9,000.
00:28:08Jess, don't worry about it.
00:28:11It's on me.
00:28:12Look at it as, uh, my first gift to my wife.
00:28:17Daniel, I can't let you pay for this.
00:28:19Look, Jess, you're gonna be a CEO,
00:28:22which means you've gotta look the part.
00:28:24Trust me.
00:28:25It's an investment.
00:28:28Mr. Thornton, welcome back.
00:28:30How can I assist you today?
00:28:32You come here a lot?
00:28:33Uh, no.
00:28:34Well, of course.
00:28:35Mr. Thornton owns this store.
00:28:37Uh, Jess, why don't you try this one on?
00:28:41You'll look great in it.
00:28:45Wow, Jess, you look...
00:28:48amazing.
00:28:50You think so?
00:28:51Yeah.
00:28:53This is exactly what a CEO would wear.
00:28:55Absolutely.
00:28:56Great choice.
00:28:58We'll take this one.
00:29:00Something on your mind?
00:29:02Well, it's probably nothing,
00:29:04but it's just...
00:29:05that clerk seemed very...
00:29:07fond of you.
00:29:08Oh, uh...
00:29:10being friendly is a part of my job.
00:29:12Okay.
00:29:14So that's how you got your lawyer, huh?
00:29:18Now that you mention it,
00:29:20maybe she was a little friendly.
00:29:22But we got a discount.
00:29:24Show-off.
00:29:34What a slut.
00:29:37Trust me, Jess.
00:29:38You can do this.
00:29:39Yeah, but what if they don't accept me?
00:29:41They will.
00:29:42Trust me.
00:29:43Just speak from the heart.
00:29:44Show your true self.
00:29:46Look at you two little lovebirds.
00:29:51Pathetic.
00:29:54Ted, we're gonna talk about this later.
00:29:56Okay?
00:29:57Okay.
00:29:58Okay.
00:29:59Okay.
00:30:00Okay.
00:30:01Okay.
00:30:02Okay.
00:30:03Okay.
00:30:04Okay.
00:30:05Okay.
00:30:06You go in.
00:30:08I'll meet you in there soon, okay?
00:30:16Good luck in there, sis.
00:30:18You're gonna need it.
00:30:20You don't have the votes.
00:30:25I know my background doesn't seem
00:30:27very typical of a CEO,
00:30:29but I built myself from the bottom up here.
00:30:32Miller Corporation is a leader
00:30:36in tech and services,
00:30:39reaching industries from health care to energy.
00:30:42We have over 10,000 employees worldwide
00:30:47who have worked hard to build this company
00:30:50from the ground up, and I was one of them.
00:30:52I know them.
00:30:54And I believe that I can help lead this company
00:30:57to become everyone's company.
00:30:59Let's proceed to the vote.
00:31:01All in favor?
00:31:06Robert lost his damn mind.
00:31:08He picked his secret child to be the CEO
00:31:11only because of his guilty conscience.
00:31:13Richard, if I may...
00:31:15I'm not done talking.
00:31:17You can't lead us.
00:31:19And you're not getting my vote.
00:31:22Richard, if I may speak...
00:31:24Go ahead.
00:31:25But I won't change my mind.
00:31:30Sorry for interrupting everyone.
00:31:32But I have something important to share with you all today.
00:31:35Who the hell are you?
00:31:36Well, Richard, I'm the person who's going to expose you.
00:31:39What did you just say?
00:31:42How do I say this?
00:31:44You're a sex pervert.
00:31:46What?
00:31:50You see, everyone, this file
00:31:53contains multiple sexual harassment lawsuits
00:31:56against Richard over the past 30 years.
00:32:00Some of them also have ongoing lawsuits.
00:32:04They're all just allegations, and they've all been settled.
00:32:07I'm innocent.
00:32:08We've also got in contact with some of the victims,
00:32:10and they're willing to come forward and testify.
00:32:12Actually, I have not finished yet.
00:32:14You're also stealing money from the company.
00:32:17And we have the financial records to prove it.
00:32:25The evidence is clear.
00:32:27He's guilty.
00:32:29Okay, then, let's all vote
00:32:31for Richard Donnell's immediate suspension.
00:32:34All in favor?
00:32:40We have 15 votes.
00:32:42The board has decided
00:32:44Richard Donnell is officially removed from his position.
00:32:47Security, escort him out immediately.
00:32:50I know my way.
00:32:56And all in favor of appointing
00:33:00Daniella as the new CEO.
00:33:17I'm sorry I was late.
00:33:19I had to make sure I had enough evidence to mail.
00:33:21No, don't be sorry, Daniel.
00:33:23That was so worth the wait.
00:33:25Good.
00:33:27This is not over.
00:33:30How's packing going, Lisa?
00:33:32You're about to be evicted soon.
00:33:34Bye-bye.
00:33:39She won again, that bitch.
00:33:41I know, it's so unfair.
00:33:43Do we have a guest?
00:33:45Lisa, honey, I've been trying to reach you.
00:33:48Why haven't you returned my calls?
00:33:50I've been busy.
00:33:52Busy?
00:33:54Dealing with Jessica?
00:33:56How did you know?
00:33:58Again.
00:34:00No use to me anymore, Adrian.
00:34:02I only needed you to help me get rid of Jessica.
00:34:05To the new CEO of the Miller Empire.
00:34:10Well, I couldn't have done it without you, Daniel.
00:34:13I also have another Christmas surprise for you.
00:34:17Who are you calling?
00:34:21Is it?
00:34:23Yes, Jess. It's your mother, Clara.
00:34:25Oh, my God, Mom.
00:34:28Oh, Jessica, you're a grown woman now.
00:34:31The Miller family threatened to kill you, Jess.
00:34:34I had no option but to vanish.
00:34:38Oh, Mom, it's okay.
00:34:40You didn't do anything wrong.
00:34:42I'll bring you back into the country, I promise.
00:34:46Daniel, how did you find her?
00:34:48I have a few powerful friends.
00:34:50They did me a favor.
00:34:52But I'll leave you two alone.
00:34:58Two more, please.
00:35:02Daniel.
00:35:04Adrian.
00:35:06Long time no see, buddy.
00:35:08Oh, my God. How long has it been?
00:35:10Ten years.
00:35:12Ten years. Oh, my God.
00:35:14The last time I must have seen you was, uh, law school.
00:35:18Yep.
00:35:20Go Reds.
00:35:22Go Reds.
00:35:24Go Reds.
00:35:26Go Reds.
00:35:28What are you doing here?
00:35:30Just in town to run some errands.
00:35:32Just thought I'd come here for a quick bite.
00:35:34Nice, man, nice.
00:35:36I saw your date earlier.
00:35:38She looks pretty.
00:35:40Yeah, my wife.
00:35:42Your wife? Yeah, Jess.
00:35:44You're married? Yes.
00:35:46Yeah, you have to introduce me to her.
00:35:48Come on, let's go say hi.
00:35:50Come and say hello. It's good to see you, bud.
00:35:53I wanted you to meet an old friend of mine.
00:35:55Adrian, this is Jess. Jess, this is Adrian.
00:35:57We went to law school together.
00:36:03I...
00:36:05I don't want to see him.
00:36:09I... I don't want to see him.
00:36:13You two know each other?
00:36:15Yes, Daniel.
00:36:17I was her first boyfriend.
00:36:19Come on, Jess.
00:36:21Don't you miss me?
00:36:23I don't want to see you anymore.
00:36:25You know you still love me, Jess.
00:36:27No, I don't.
00:36:33I think you should leave, Adrian.
00:36:35Okay, Daniel? Relax.
00:36:37Now.
00:36:43I'm leaving.
00:36:49She knows you're lying.
00:36:55Boss, Adrian Westley now represents
00:36:57the Eastside Christian Media.
00:36:59They wanted to test the weapon.
00:37:01I should have known.
00:37:03What else?
00:37:05Adrian also introduced me to Jessica.
00:37:07Actually, he's the one who sabotaged
00:37:09Jessica's immigration paperwork.
00:37:11It caused all this trouble.
00:37:15That son of a bitch.
00:37:18I'll win this war.
00:37:20Do whatever it takes.
00:37:30Daniel?
00:37:32Sorry. Did I wake you?
00:37:34No, can...
00:37:36Can you join me in bed, please?
00:37:42You sure?
00:37:44I just...
00:37:46I wanted to apologize
00:37:48for earlier.
00:37:50The restaurant.
00:37:54I got a bit carried away.
00:37:56Jess, you don't need to apologize.
00:37:58Adrian's an asshole.
00:38:00He's just trying to do it to get under your skin.
00:38:02I did care for Adrian once.
00:38:06But he just destroyed everything we had.
00:38:10I want you to know
00:38:13that I'm here
00:38:15because of you.
00:38:17And you're
00:38:19the only one
00:38:21who I love.
00:38:23No one else.
00:38:35I love you too, Jess.
00:38:37And I'm not going anywhere.
00:38:43Good morning, husband.
00:38:45Good morning, wife.
00:38:47Are you ready for your big day
00:38:49as the new CEO?
00:38:51If only you were with me.
00:38:54Good morning, wife.
00:38:56Are you ready for your big day
00:38:58as the new CEO?
00:39:00If only you were with me.
00:39:20You're going to do great today.
00:39:24You're going to do great today.
00:39:30Jess,
00:39:32here's your coffee.
00:39:36What's wrong?
00:39:38It's just this job.
00:39:40It's all so new to me.
00:39:42Okay, calm down.
00:39:44Remember, you're the CEO.
00:39:46Which means you're the boss.
00:39:48Yeah, but I don't know
00:39:50how to be a boss.
00:39:52Jess, look at you
00:39:54sitting in the big chair now.
00:39:56I am so
00:39:58happy you're here.
00:40:02You must be Daniel.
00:40:04Jessica's been talking about you
00:40:06for days.
00:40:08I'm flattered.
00:40:10I really wish you could be here with me,
00:40:12it's exhausting.
00:40:14At least you have a job, Jess.
00:40:16I've been looking for work for the past two months.
00:40:18Jess,
00:40:21do you like
00:40:23Deanna being here?
00:40:25Of course.
00:40:27We've been besties since
00:40:29forever.
00:40:31Yeah, what kind of question is that?
00:40:33Well, why don't you use your CEO
00:40:35power and
00:40:37hire Deanna?
00:40:39Oh, I know what you mean.
00:40:41I don't understand.
00:40:43How would you
00:40:45like to
00:40:47come work for me?
00:40:49Of course.
00:40:51Okay then.
00:40:53My first order as a CEO,
00:40:55Gianna,
00:40:57you are hired
00:40:59as my personal assistant.
00:41:01Oh my god, Jess, thank you
00:41:03so much.
00:41:05See, being a boss is easy.
00:41:07You can do whatever you want.
00:41:10Oh my god.
00:41:12What's wrong?
00:41:14The company's stock prices are
00:41:16dropping like crazy.
00:41:18What is happening?
00:41:20This isn't good.
00:41:22The stock's going down.
00:41:24Well, well, well.
00:41:26Looks like things aren't
00:41:28going so well.
00:41:30What did you do, Lisa?
00:41:32I asked Richard and some of the other investors
00:41:34to sell their stock
00:41:36to me.
00:41:38To sell their stocks?
00:41:40The board members are not going to be happy
00:41:42about the stock prices, Jessica.
00:41:44What do you want?
00:41:46Resign as CEO
00:41:48or I will destroy this company.
00:41:50No way.
00:41:52Okay.
00:41:54Then I will destroy this company.
00:41:56Jessica, the board members are asking
00:41:58to meet with you. They're angry.
00:42:05What are you going to do, Jess?
00:42:08Okay, I'll meet with the board.
00:42:10Wait, Jess.
00:42:12Don't go. Take a seat.
00:42:14What is it?
00:42:16Lisa,
00:42:18are you sure the stock prices are going down?
00:42:20Because to me,
00:42:22they seem to be going up and up.
00:42:24That's impossible. You would need
00:42:26at least a billion dollars.
00:42:28I guess anything's possible
00:42:30these days.
00:42:32Goddammit!
00:42:34God, she's annoying.
00:42:38You must be
00:42:40my lucky star.
00:42:48Daniel?
00:42:50Gianna?
00:42:52I know who you are, Daniel.
00:42:54You're the son of James Thornton.
00:42:56How'd you find out?
00:42:58My identity's meant to be a secret.
00:43:00I used to work for your father.
00:43:02Please don't tell Jess.
00:43:04I'll pay you. How much do you want?
00:43:07I don't want your money.
00:43:09I care for my friend.
00:43:11Actually, your father fired me
00:43:13because I tried to help Jessica.
00:43:15I'm sorry, Gianna.
00:43:17It's okay.
00:43:19I just want to know why.
00:43:21She hates my family.
00:43:23I have to lie to her.
00:43:25She hates your family, but
00:43:27she loves you.
00:43:29I can see that.
00:43:31You really think so?
00:43:33Yes.
00:43:35She's the best thing
00:43:37that's ever happened to me.
00:43:39That's good to hear.
00:43:41Please protect her.
00:43:49Daniel.
00:43:51It's my mom.
00:43:53Adrian threatened her.
00:43:59Adrian threatened my mom
00:44:01on the phone.
00:44:04I can't block her from entering the country.
00:44:06What should we do?
00:44:08Jess,
00:44:10I don't want you to worry about it.
00:44:12I'm going to make sure your mom gets here safely.
00:44:30Ted,
00:44:32make sure your mom gets here safely.
00:44:34Book her on the first flight out tomorrow.
00:44:36Got it, boss.
00:44:38She'll be here in town
00:44:40the day after tomorrow.
00:44:42Good.
00:44:46Jess has been taken care of.
00:44:48Your mom's going to be here
00:44:50the day after tomorrow.
00:44:52Thank you, Daniel.
00:44:54But I'm...
00:44:56I'm still scared.
00:44:58I just...
00:45:01I love the sound of that.
00:45:03What did you have in mind?
00:45:05I was thinking...
00:45:09I want to buy a house.
00:45:19So?
00:45:21Do you like this place?
00:45:23It's amazing.
00:45:25But, Jess,
00:45:27I appreciate the gesture.
00:45:29You don't need to buy me a house.
00:45:31No, no.
00:45:33I insist.
00:45:35You've done so much
00:45:37to help me.
00:45:39Besides, we can live together
00:45:41here.
00:45:43Hi.
00:45:45Your father is here.
00:45:47Are you meeting him here?
00:45:51Well,
00:45:53I've never met your parents,
00:45:55so I'm pretty excited
00:45:58to meet an in-law.
00:46:00Oh, is...
00:46:02Is that him?
00:46:04Come on, let's go say hi.
00:46:06Jess, wait.
00:46:08Wait, wait, wait.
00:46:12I might not have told my dad
00:46:14about you and our marriage.
00:46:16Why?
00:46:18Because he has a heart condition.
00:46:22I think it's best you stay here.
00:46:24Okay.
00:46:26Dad?
00:46:28Come on.
00:46:30Daniel, what the hell?
00:46:32Jessica's here.
00:46:34She can't see her face.
00:46:36Don't take them off.
00:46:38I want to talk to you
00:46:40about Ashley, Daniel.
00:46:44Why hasn't Daniel told his father
00:46:46about me and our wedding?
00:46:48Ashley?
00:46:50Really?
00:46:52Not today.
00:46:55And what is this shirt
00:46:57you're wearing?
00:46:59Mother insisted I wear it
00:47:01in this charity event
00:47:03in New England.
00:47:05Said it makes me look more grounded
00:47:07and approachable.
00:47:11And don't go changing our subject.
00:47:13I want to discuss our agreement.
00:47:15I give you Clara
00:47:17and you marry Ashley.
00:47:20Why does he look
00:47:22so nervous?
00:47:24Am I not good enough?
00:47:28Do we have to talk
00:47:30about this right now?
00:47:32I held up my end of the bargain, Daniel.
00:47:34I want this deal
00:47:36done now.
00:47:38Actually, Clara isn't safe yet.
00:47:40Lisa Miller might try to sabotage
00:47:42everything.
00:47:44This is why you don't mess
00:47:46with the Miller family.
00:47:48You should have left it alone.
00:47:50All I'm asking is just a few more days.
00:47:52Ashley is coming to town
00:47:54in a few days.
00:47:56What?
00:47:58Jess.
00:48:00Jess.
00:48:08Dad, this is Jess.
00:48:10Jess, this is Dad.
00:48:12You can call him Jimmy.
00:48:14Jimmy?
00:48:17I'm Jimmy,
00:48:19sweetie.
00:48:21It's lovely to meet you, Jimmy.
00:48:23And can I just say
00:48:25that is a lovely Hawaiian shirt.
00:48:27It really, really suits you.
00:48:29Well, thank you, Jessica.
00:48:31It's one I'm
00:48:33fond of.
00:48:35So, who is
00:48:37Ashley? I heard you guys talking
00:48:39about her earlier.
00:48:41Oh, she's just
00:48:43an old family friend.
00:48:45They grew up and went to law school together.
00:48:47Oh.
00:48:49And she had Daniel's first kiss.
00:48:51Oh.
00:48:53Her wedding is
00:48:55approaching soon and
00:48:57I'd like Daniel to attend.
00:48:59I'm reminiscing about
00:49:01the good old days. No, it's fine.
00:49:03Honestly, it's lovely to hear about Daniel's
00:49:05childhood and more about his life.
00:49:07You bastard child.
00:49:10Well, well.
00:49:12What do we have here?
00:49:14You think you can afford
00:49:16this place?
00:49:18You're about to lose this battle
00:49:20and be out on the streets
00:49:22soon.
00:49:24Who's this clown?
00:49:28Looks like he belongs in a circus.
00:49:30How dare you, Kristen?
00:49:32How do you know my name?
00:49:34And don't you dare call me
00:49:36by my first name.
00:49:38That's enough.
00:49:40Don't talk
00:49:42to my father like that.
00:49:46He's your father.
00:49:48How does it feel
00:49:50to be a father of such a loser?
00:49:52Don't talk
00:49:54to my family like that.
00:49:56Your family?
00:49:58Your family suck, Jessica.
00:50:00Especially your mother.
00:50:02The home-wrecking
00:50:04tramp. A whore.
00:50:07Your family
00:50:09suck, Jessica.
00:50:11Especially your mother.
00:50:13The home-wrecking
00:50:15tramp. A whore.
00:50:19Damn!
00:50:23How dare
00:50:25you slap me?
00:50:27That is enough,
00:50:29Kristen.
00:50:31Ladies, you need to leave.
00:50:33Now.
00:50:35You can't throw us out. We're buyers.
00:50:37We're not going anywhere.
00:50:39The owner of this property has banned you
00:50:41from coming here. You need to leave now
00:50:43or I will call security.
00:50:45You
00:50:47will regret this.
00:50:49I've heard that a thousand times.
00:50:51You will regret this.
00:50:53You will regret this.
00:50:55You will regret this.
00:50:57You will regret this.
00:51:00Now leave.
00:51:12Thank you, Jessica.
00:51:14You stood up for me.
00:51:16Well, we're family, Jimmy.
00:51:18It's what I'm supposed to do.
00:51:24I appreciate it.
00:51:26You're a nice girl.
00:51:29You found a good wife, Sam.
00:51:33Dad, about
00:51:35Ashy's wedding, I don't think I'm going to be able
00:51:37to make it. I'll look into it.
00:51:39I'll speak to her about it.
00:51:41Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:51:43Daniel can still attend. It's not a problem.
00:51:45Jess, I just want to focus
00:51:47on you and I.
00:51:49I'm not the jealous type.
00:51:51Plus, I don't want you to miss your first crush's wedding.
00:51:55Well, you decide, Daniel.
00:51:57Oh, there's a lawn party.
00:51:59You two want to come?
00:52:01It's in three hours.
00:52:03Yeah.
00:52:05Dad, we'll go.
00:52:07Great.
00:52:09I'll see you there.
00:52:21Well, this place is extremely high class.
00:52:24Well,
00:52:26my dad has a few
00:52:28rich friends.
00:52:32And James Thornton is here.
00:52:36I know you don't want to see him.
00:52:38But Jess, my dad's here.
00:52:40He's going to join us later.
00:52:42Okay.
00:52:44The bidding's about to start.
00:52:50Oh, the bitch is here!
00:52:52I know. Don't worry.
00:52:54We can teach him a lesson.
00:52:56Yeah, how?
00:52:58Let's see if Daniel can handle
00:53:00a little humiliation with money.
00:53:02Here with money? What money?
00:53:04I haven't gotten my inheritance back yet.
00:53:06Yeah, I know.
00:53:08Your mother spoke to Richard.
00:53:10He said he's willing to donate us some cash
00:53:12if we make Jessica look ugly.
00:53:14You're the best.
00:53:16I know.

00:53:51Where did they get that money from?
00:53:53I don't know, but they're definitely
00:53:55trying to humiliate you here.
00:53:57Really?
00:53:59But I don't even care about this bid.

00:54:54Well?
00:54:56Do you remember me telling you about
00:54:58I have a powerful friend?
00:55:00Yeah, the one who helped me
00:55:02find my mother.
00:55:04Jessica?
00:55:06James Thornton.
00:55:08In the flesh.
00:55:10Or Mrs. Thornton.
00:55:13I am truly sorry for everything
00:55:15I did to you and your mother.
00:55:17But I'm trying my best
00:55:19to make amends.
00:55:21Well, I don't know
00:55:23what to say.
00:55:25Jess, I know it's a lot to handle.
00:55:27You've just got to trust me.
00:55:29Yeah, but why didn't you just tell me in the first place, Daniel?
00:55:31Jess!
00:55:33Jessica!
00:55:35Don't follow me!
00:55:39Oh.
00:55:41Uh-huh.
00:55:51Oh.
00:55:53Look who's alone.
00:55:55No, just leave.
00:55:57Just leave me alone.
00:55:59You're never gonna win against James Thornton.
00:56:01He's my mother's best friend.
00:56:03You're gonna lose everything.
00:56:05Poor babe, still played by the big boys.
00:56:07James Thornton and his son
00:56:10I've been playing you all along.
00:56:12What did you just say?
00:56:14James Thornton and his son?
00:56:16Wait, Jess, you didn't know?
00:56:18Daniel Thornton is his son.
00:56:22Oh, my God.
00:56:24I didn't know that.
00:56:26Now that I do.
00:56:28That's enough!
00:56:30Oh, excuse me, Mr. Thornton.
00:56:32Crown Prince said
00:56:34the Thornton family.
00:56:40This man has been lying
00:56:42to you all along.
00:56:44Poor little girl's got no one to trust.
00:56:46Both of you, get out of here.
00:56:48Okay.
00:57:00Jess, I've been trying to tell you.
00:57:02Am I a joke to you?
00:57:04No.
00:57:06What do you mean?
00:57:08And your father.
00:57:10You've been playing me this whole time.
00:57:12No, I've been standing by your side
00:57:14all the time, Jess.
00:57:16I can't trust you.
00:57:18You're lying to me.
00:57:20You're right.
00:57:22You're right.
00:57:26I have been hiding things from you.
00:57:30You know what I haven't told you yet?
00:57:32Another big secret.
00:57:35Are you sure you want to hear this?
00:57:43The other big secret is
00:57:45the first time we met isn't exactly this.
00:57:47It was five years ago.
00:57:49Five years ago?
00:57:51Yes.
00:57:53At a party.
00:57:55I was drunk and I fell in a pool.
00:58:05Oh, thank God you're alive.
00:58:11I was drowning and you saved my life.
00:58:13But you won't remember that.
00:58:17But I will forever be grateful
00:58:19for what you did for me that day.
00:58:23That was you?
00:58:25Yes.
00:58:27My father forbid me from seeing you.
00:58:29But I didn't care.
00:58:31I confronted him.
00:58:33You can't tell me what to do, Dad.
00:58:35You can't stop me from seeing her.
00:58:37I'm doing what's best for you, Daniel.
00:58:39That girl and all her family
00:58:41are nothing but trouble.
00:58:43And then he decided to tell me
00:58:45about everything he did to you and your mom.
00:58:47And I felt so guilty.
00:58:49It's okay.
00:58:53I was ashamed to approach you.
00:58:55I just didn't know how to face you
00:58:57without making things worse.
00:58:59And I thought the best thing to do
00:59:02And then I heard about you being deported
00:59:04and I just couldn't let that happen.
00:59:06Well,
00:59:08I saved you.
00:59:10And you saved me.
00:59:14Because we just belong together.
00:59:20Ew, corny.
00:59:24But just
00:59:26no more secrets.
00:59:28Okay.
00:59:30I promise.
00:59:32No more secrets.
00:59:50You're up early.
00:59:52Yeah.
00:59:54I'm gonna go pick your mom up from the airport.
00:59:57I'll see you a little later.
01:00:01Gianna's just fixed me.
01:00:03She said that I have my first
01:00:05weekly exec meeting this morning.
01:00:07I should postpone it.
01:00:09No.
01:00:11You should definitely go to that.
01:00:13You need to look good in front of your board.
01:00:15Really?
01:00:17Yeah.
01:00:19I'm gonna go pick your mom up from the airport
01:00:21and I'll bring her straight to the office.
01:00:23Thanks.
01:00:26You look better than I thought.
01:00:28Don't underestimate yourself, Jess.
01:00:30You did great.
01:00:34Heya, Jess.
01:00:36What are you doing here?
01:00:42What are you doing here?
01:00:44I just wanted to share with you some interesting facts
01:00:46about your dear husband, Daniel Thornton.
01:00:50Gianna, can you wait outside a moment?
01:00:54Okay.
01:00:56I'm telling you now.
01:00:58Whatever bad made-up facts
01:01:00that you've come to tell me about Daniel
01:01:02is not going to work
01:01:04because Daniel already told me everything.
01:01:06Everything?
01:01:08Are you so sure?
01:01:10Yeah. Him and his father came clean about everything.
01:01:12There's nothing more to hide.
01:01:14Did they also tell you Daniel's supposed to marry his childhood sweetheart?
01:01:16What?
01:01:18Ashley Wimbledon.
01:01:21Who's the Ashley Wimbledon family?
01:01:23Ring any bells?
01:01:25Ashley.
01:01:27Ashley.
01:01:31Who is Ashley?
01:01:33I heard you guys talking about her earlier.
01:01:35Oh, she's just an
01:01:37old childhood friend.
01:01:39They grew up and went to law school together.
01:01:41Oh.
01:01:43And she had Daniel's first kiss.
01:01:45He did mention Ashley.
01:01:51He did?
01:01:53Yeah, but he's not going to marry her.
01:01:55I remember that conversation.
01:02:01Daniel's picking my mother up from the airport himself.
01:02:03I'll be seeing her soon.
01:02:07What are you laughing about?
01:02:10Daniel wants to bring her back, right?
01:02:12You're not going to see her.
01:02:18After years of separation with your mother,
01:02:20Daniel didn't let you go along with him to meet with her?
01:02:22And what kind of a husband does that?
01:02:24I had an early meeting this morning
01:02:26and Daniel didn't want me to worry.
01:02:28So easily manipulated, Jess.
01:02:32Just like old times.
01:02:34You don't have to worry.
01:02:36Just like old times.
01:02:40I don't believe a word you say.
01:02:44Daniel isn't going to bring her back.
01:02:46Care to find out together?
01:02:56Are you sure everything is taken care of?
01:02:58Yes. You're free to live in this country.
01:03:02Clara, I also want to apologize for everything you went through years ago.
01:03:05I'm deeply sorry.
01:03:07Well, you did bring me back here.
01:03:09But now I just want to see my daughter.
01:03:11We'll go through it.
01:03:13Not so fast, Danny boy.
01:03:19You're too late, Lisa.
01:03:21Clara's here to claim Robert's inheritance back.
01:03:23Oh, I don't think so.
01:03:25Agents, do your thing.
01:03:27Wait. This is a mistake.
01:03:29Clara's got past customs. She can stay.
01:03:31Sweetheart, you really think those little documents
01:03:33can stop this?
01:03:35I don't think so.
01:03:37Back off, Lisa.
01:03:39Watch it, pretty boy.
01:03:41Jess! Jess! Mom! Mom!
01:03:43What are you doing?
01:03:45Where are they taking my mother?
01:03:47Mom, I will bring her back. I promise. Just stay strong.
01:03:49Sis, it looks like you've been screwed by the Thorntons again.
01:03:51Adrienne, you sabotaged this.
01:03:53You'll pay for this.
01:03:55See, babe? I told you he's not bringing her back.
01:03:57You said everything was taken care of.
01:03:59Jess, it's not me. It's them.
01:04:02You're lying, Daniel.
01:04:04Why don't you ask him about that thing we talked about?
01:04:06Jess?
01:04:08Jess?
01:04:10He said that you were gonna marry Ashley.
01:04:12Okay, so it's true.
01:04:14Jess, can we just talk about this?
01:04:16No. No, no, no, no, no.
01:04:18Thing is, Daniel, you promised me
01:04:20no more secrets.
01:04:22I can't trust you anymore.
01:04:24Jess! It's just...
01:04:26It looks like you lost, Daniel.
01:04:28You're never getting her back.
01:04:32You're never getting her back.
01:04:50Oh, thank God you're alive.
01:05:02Fuck.
01:05:17Dad, what's the problem with Clara?
01:05:20I paid for almost four hours.
01:05:22You're right, boss.
01:05:24I checked with customers in the U.S.CIS.
01:05:26The label confirms that she legally entered the country,
01:05:28and, uh, that isn't up.
