00:00:00Someone went wild last night.
00:00:29Not too bad, as far as the last night of being single goes.
00:00:32I don't get it, man. Why'd she leave without saying goodbye?
00:00:35Maybe she's on the way to the marriage registry to marry you.
00:00:38Yeah, maybe.
00:00:40So, according to your mother's will, as soon as you get married, you'll receive the share she left for you.
00:00:44So I've arranged for someone for you to have a fake marriage with.
00:00:47I trust your taste.
00:00:53Oh, look at that. The woman who agreed to your fake marriage is already on her way.
00:00:57Whoever she is, with that marriage license, the normal group officially becomes mine.
00:01:01So why didn't you go with what your grandfathers arranged for marriage?
00:01:04Man, I'd much rather be that girl from last night, but I don't know if I'm gonna ever see her again.
00:01:17It's you.
00:01:47If I had known that you were the person I was gonna marry, we could have shared a ride from the hotel.
00:01:51Well, I am short on cash these days, so...
00:01:54Same. I had to borrow the suit.
00:01:57It's a good suit.
00:01:59This is all that I have today. Thank you for coming, and you'll get the rest when we divorce in one year.
00:02:11I guess I deserve an Oscar for my performance today.
00:02:15With the shares from your mother's will, you now own 50% of Laura Group.
00:02:24Inform the whole company. A new era starts today.
00:02:28Sure thing.
00:02:30You murderers, better watch your backs. I'm coming for you.
00:02:36I'm gonna avenge you.
00:02:43With the shares from your mother's will, you now own 50% of Laura Group.
00:02:48I guess it's time to show them who's boss.
00:02:51Yes, boss.
00:03:08What? New presents here?
00:03:24Now?
00:03:25Yes.
00:03:48Renee! Looks like my stepsister decided to crawl back out of hell.
00:03:52Unfortunately for you, I'm here to kick you two out of my mother's company.
00:03:55Your mother's?
00:03:56You know her name means nothing. Now it belongs to my mom.
00:04:00Speaking of her, great job selling off all the company's shares. I'm sure the new president will reward you for that.
00:04:05How did... how did you...
00:04:08That's ridiculous.
00:04:09I think we should settle this in front of everyone.
00:04:14Here they come.
00:04:18As office manager, it is my pleasure to welcome the new president...
00:04:32As office manager, it is my pleasure to welcome the new president...
00:04:38Miss Mara Brown!
00:04:40Who, me?
00:04:41No doubt. Mrs. Brown was the plan B to take over.
00:04:45Are you sure she's the new president of the company?
00:04:48Who else would it be? Your mother from six feet under?
00:04:55Well then you must have the invitation from Norman.
00:04:58What invitation?
00:04:59For the party tonight. They've invited all their business partners, including Laura Group.
00:05:07Of course I do.
00:05:08Great. Then I will see you there.
00:05:13Let's see how long you can keep up the act.
00:05:38Excuse me? How dare you? I'm the president of the Laura Group.
00:05:42I'm sorry, ma'am. I can only accept invitations.
00:05:49Oh, looks like I forgot it at home. Can I speak with your manager?
00:05:54Just admit it, Mara. You're not the president. You don't have an invitation.
00:05:57Where's your invitation then?
00:06:04Damon, help!
00:06:07This skank is trying to bully me because I didn't have an invitation.
00:06:12Don't worry, honeypuff. As the host of this party, I can guarantee no one's going to mess with you.
00:06:19The whole Norman family doesn't welcome someone like you.
00:06:22The host? So that means you're the heir to the Norman family?
00:06:27Yes, I have a lot going on lately.
00:06:33What the fuck are you doing? Get her out of here.
00:06:35Mr. Norman, is that any way to treat a guest?
00:06:42How did you... No, that has to be a fake!
00:06:52May I?
00:07:01I'm sorry.
00:07:02I'm sorry.
00:07:03I'm sorry.
00:07:04I'm sorry.
00:07:05I'm sorry.
00:07:06I'm sorry.
00:07:07I'm sorry.
00:07:08I'm sorry.
00:07:10Damon! Stop her!
00:07:17Really?
00:07:25Dorothy, can you look up Damon Norman for me and top the head of the charity group in here?
00:07:40Are you all right, my dear wife?
00:07:44What are you doing here?
00:07:47You're working.
00:07:50What about you?
00:07:51I'm...
00:07:54someone's escort.
00:07:57And you're not?
00:07:58I'm not.
00:07:59I'm not.
00:08:00I'm not.
00:08:01I'm not.
00:08:02I'm not.
00:08:03I'm not.
00:08:04I'm not.
00:08:05I'm not.
00:08:06I'm not.
00:08:07I'm not.
00:08:08I'm not an escort.
00:08:10You do know you're married, right?
00:08:13Of course.
00:08:14I can't just rely on my husband's tips.
00:08:18Your husband sounds like a real jerk.
00:08:19He's the worst.
00:08:21Well, I didn't know this party for dirty rats.
00:08:24Neither did I...
00:08:26till you showed up.
00:08:36Clean that up.
00:08:38Are you really asking me?
00:08:48Are you really asking me?
00:08:49Well, of course I am.
00:08:50I'm the fiance of the heir to the Norman family.
00:08:51How could you do that?
00:08:52Do you know how much that costs?
00:08:53Well, with the price of the champagne that's on it, I would say your fur just increased
00:09:11in value.
00:09:22It's my step-sister.
00:09:23Sorry that you had to see that.
00:09:26No worries.
00:09:27All families have issues.
00:09:28You should have let me deal with her.
00:09:31Well, I couldn't let you get in trouble.
00:09:35In return, you could have a little authentic husband experience with me.
00:09:44I couldn't afford that.
00:09:53Get the necklace from the safe.
00:09:55Someone deserves a gift.
00:10:04Here's a gift for Ms. Brown.
00:10:15Oh, that's me!
00:10:18Oh, it's beautiful!
00:10:21I bet Damon got this for me.
00:10:23Much better than an invitation, if I do say so myself.
00:10:27Mara, is that the only way you can make yourself feel valuable?
00:10:31Wait, this is for Ms. Renee Brown?
00:10:35I'm Renee Brown.
00:10:39May I ask who sent this?
00:10:41Sorry, I don't know.
00:10:46You bitch!
00:10:47You set this entire thing up with a fake necklace and everything just to embarrass me!
00:10:52Mara, the only person embarrassing you here is yourself.
00:10:56No one has ever given you a gift because you are an unwanted loser!
00:11:01Unwanted?
00:11:04Says who?
00:11:12She's with me.
00:11:13Oh, a skank and a server.
00:11:16How fitting.
00:11:17But you know what, sister?
00:11:18I did think you would go with someone more of like a washed up, in his 80s type.
00:11:23No, thank you.
00:11:24But, speaking of losers, you should probably go check in with your fiancé.
00:11:28My fiancé is the heir to the Norman Group.
00:11:32One word and he'll have both of you two out on your asses.
00:11:35Okay.
00:11:37Hey, what's going on?
00:11:39Hello, Damon.
00:11:41So you're her fiancé?
00:11:43The heir to the Norman Group?
00:11:45Yes.
00:11:46Speak with some respect.
00:11:48He's full of lies.
00:11:51He's not the real heir.
00:11:57He's not the real heir.
00:11:59Are you accusing him?
00:12:01Why don't you let him speak for himself?
00:12:05Enough.
00:12:06I'll make a scene.
00:12:08Let's go.
00:12:09Come on.
00:12:10Let me spell it out for you two.
00:12:12He's the cousin to the heir, who likes to use the family name to scare people.
00:12:18He's the cousin to the heir.
00:12:21He's the cousin to the heir, who likes to use the family name to scare people.
00:12:27How do you know that?
00:12:29Because I'm the real heir.
00:12:31Heir's assistant.
00:12:34Right, Damon?
00:12:37And you know the cost of lying.
00:12:40Right, Damon?
00:12:43Yes.
00:12:46Oh!
00:12:49Just...
00:12:51Just let me go.
00:12:52Please.
00:12:58Damon may have been lying, Mara Brown, but you're not fooling me.
00:13:06Damon may have been lying, Mara Brown, but you're not fooling me.
00:13:09It is not your time to speak, so I would shut it if I were you.
00:13:15Can you tell him to meet me at the ballroom?
00:13:19May I speak to the president of the Laura Group?
00:13:22That's me.
00:13:23What do you want?
00:13:24Such an honor to finally meet you.
00:13:26Thank you and your company for the generous donation.
00:13:29It will benefit so many children.
00:13:31Oh, yeah, don't worry about it.
00:13:33It's nothing.
00:13:34Would you prefer the five million as a check or a bank transfer?
00:13:38Five million.
00:13:40What?
00:13:41Your assistant asked me to meet you here.
00:13:43Or you could just sign your name on this contract.
00:13:50You framed me.
00:13:52Well, it's not framing if you're the real president.
00:13:55Unless you're lying.
00:14:02You framed me.
00:14:04Well, it's not framing if you're the real president.
00:14:07Unless you're lying.
00:14:14You know what?
00:14:15I don't feel so well.
00:14:17I don't even think I could pick up that pen.
00:14:19You'll have to find me another day.
00:14:25Mara's a fake.
00:14:26I'm such a fool.
00:14:27Don't be too hard on yourself.
00:14:29Well, where's the real president?
00:14:34I know.
00:14:37The real president...
00:14:40is in the office.
00:14:55Can I have a dance with you?
00:15:02Seems like everyone has trust issues tonight.
00:15:05Do you?
00:15:09Like what?
00:15:10Are you really just an assistant?
00:15:18What about you?
00:15:20Are you really an escort?
00:15:22Where's your client?
00:15:27Seems like everyone has secrets.
00:15:31Sometimes the best solution is to just ignore the problem.
00:15:35At least for tonight.
00:15:37I agree.
00:15:39But I have to admit it'll probably be difficult for me going to suppress my curiosity.
00:15:43Then I guess I'll have to keep you busy.
00:15:46How so?
00:16:07I'm sorry.
00:16:09I'm sorry.
00:16:35How generous.
00:16:40Dude.
00:16:42Laura Group is dumping our shares.
00:16:44Our stock price is crashing.
00:16:46What?
00:16:54Do we know who the president is yet?
00:16:56I checked every news source.
00:16:57I can't find anything on who the president is.
00:17:03That's impossible.
00:17:05What is it?
00:17:07Laura Brown?
00:17:09The founder of Laura Group?
00:17:11Didn't she pass away like five years ago?
00:17:13I'm going to get to the bottom of this.
00:17:15Phase one completed.
00:17:17Mara and her mother had heavily invested in Norman Group,
00:17:20so now it's time to watch their assets shrink.
00:17:22By the way, I made the donation in your mother's name.
00:17:25Thank you, Dotty.
00:17:27But I've been meaning to ask,
00:17:29won't doing this also affect Laura Group's assets?
00:17:32Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
00:17:35Don't worry. I have a plan.
00:17:38I trust you, but don't overdo it.
00:17:42I have a feeling I'll be meeting the heir of Norman Group very soon.
00:17:46Dear President,
00:17:48it's time to teach you a lesson.
00:17:58The informant says the president of Laura Group will be here tonight.
00:18:01I'll flush out this rat.
00:18:03I swear.
00:18:09Renee?
00:18:10Parrot, what are you doing here?
00:18:12I'm here to meet with the real president of the Laura Group.
00:18:16Have you seen...
00:18:20Damn, Paul.
00:18:23I forgot my wallet in the car.
00:18:25Why don't you order your drink?
00:18:27It's on me.
00:18:34Are you the one messing with the stocks?
00:18:37You're the president. Shouldn't you be asking yourself that?
00:18:40Well, I just wanted to let you know that we'll be selling off some art pieces to cover the losses.
00:18:46And yeah, that's your mom's last piece.
00:18:49The bid goes for one dollar.
00:18:57And yeah, that's your mom's last piece.
00:19:00The bid goes for one dollar.
00:19:04I hope you have your invitation for the auction.
00:19:09You crazy bitch!
00:19:13Things are different now, sister.
00:19:15I'm going to get every single one of her pieces back.
00:19:17This isn't over!
00:19:23Mom, I'm going to protect your artwork and your company.
00:19:27I promise.
00:19:30Hey, what's got you so down, chica?
00:19:33Leave me alone.
00:19:35You need my company.
00:19:41Leave her alone!
00:19:49Who the fuck?
00:19:51I'm her husband.
00:19:52I get it. Someone's unsatisfied.
00:19:55Fuck!
00:20:01Are you alright?
00:20:03Fine. Thank you.
00:20:10You feeling confident?
00:20:12Let's see.
00:20:16Let us go. Unless you want to see some blood.
00:20:21Run.
00:20:30Fuck.
00:20:41They're not there now.
00:20:44Alright. Let's go.
00:20:53They're gone.
00:20:56Just to be safe, I think I should hold your hands a little longer.
00:21:01Is just holding my hands enough?
00:21:04Not really.
00:21:07What else do you want?
00:21:30I want his belongings, starting at one dollar.
00:21:35They're trying to humiliate her.
00:21:37And we can't let them get away with this.
00:21:39Yeah, but Mara's definitely going to have some tricks up her sleeve.
00:21:42Then we need a white knight.
00:21:48Norman!
00:21:51Norman!
00:21:59Are you okay? You sounded urgent on the phone.
00:22:02I need to ask you a favor.
00:22:04As long as I can make it happen.
00:22:06I need you to pretend to be the heir of Norman Group.
00:22:14You want me to impersonate the heir of Norman?
00:22:17I'm the heir's assistant. There's no one better for the job.
00:22:21I can ask him for real.
00:22:23These items were supposed to be my mother's legacy.
00:22:25And then she was kicked out of the group that she founded by Mara's mother.
00:22:29And now they're trying to cash in on her belongings.
00:22:32I need the heir to back you at the auction.
00:22:35You're my only choice.
00:22:42Since you're Laura's daughter, do you know who the new president is?
00:22:48Of course.
00:22:50Who is it?
00:22:56Me.
00:23:02Who is it?
00:23:06Me.
00:23:12I'm sorry, that was a bad joke.
00:23:16Thank goodness that you're not a stand-up comedian.
00:23:21Enough said. I can help you to get those things back.
00:23:42Are you being watched?
00:23:44Not yet. I really have to dress like a secret agent.
00:23:48Mara's met you already. She might recognize you.
00:23:51No way.
00:23:53In this outfit, I barely even recognize myself.
00:24:07Renee.
00:24:15Renee.
00:24:17It's been a long time.
00:24:19Oh, not long enough.
00:24:21Did you even think about saying hello when you got back?
00:24:23Well, I don't exactly fit in with the family of thieves and liars.
00:24:27Isn't that right, Miss President?
00:24:29Oh, sharp tongue just like your mother.
00:24:31I wonder how many auction items you're going to get to buy before you deplete your pocketbook.
00:24:36I wonder what the value of a useless dead body would bring to you tonight.
00:24:40Don't worry. The only thing you can steal from my mother and I is this coward.
00:24:48Welcome to today's auction.
00:24:50Up first, we have a painting by Laura Brown.
00:24:53And we will start the bidding at...
00:24:57One dollar.
00:25:04One hundred thousand dollars.
00:25:07One hundred thousand.
00:25:09One hundred and one thousand.
00:25:11Two hundred thousand.
00:25:12Two hundred and one thousand.
00:25:16Five hundred thousand.
00:25:23Sold! Congratulations, guest number eight, who is the heir of the Norman Group.
00:25:31Sold! Congratulations, Mr. Norman, on securing all the items thus far.
00:25:37Mom, I have to go for him.
00:25:39Oh, dear. Don't rush it. You've got to play hard to get.
00:25:42For the final item this evening, we have a set of matching rings.
00:25:47My mother's wedding rings.
00:25:49They will start at...
00:25:51One dollar.
00:25:53One hundred thousand.
00:25:55One hundred and one thousand.
00:25:57Two hundred and one thousand.
00:25:59They will start at just one dollar.
00:26:04One hundred thousand.
00:26:09Do I hear another bid?
00:26:12Sold! Congratulations on securing yet another item.
00:26:22Before you start talking big, you might want to check your bank account.
00:26:26Yeah, you're screwed. Even Norman's heir is on our side.
00:26:30I wouldn't be so sure about that.
00:26:32Congratulations, Ms. Brown. Mr. Norman has transferred all the items in your name.
00:26:37Here's the transfer document.
00:26:41Who's screwed now?
00:26:51Have you met this heir in person?
00:26:53Yeah, why would Mr. Norman help you?
00:26:55Mr. Norman!
00:26:59Wait a second.
00:27:01I knew it! You're the assistant!
00:27:04Assistant? How is the assistant going to pay for all this?
00:27:08About that. According to my mother's will, these items were always mine.
00:27:13And now they're finally back where they belong.
00:27:15I see that.
00:27:18Chloe, I have to thank you for holding this auction.
00:27:21Otherwise, I never would have known where you'd hidden them.
00:27:24I would have just taught you quite a bit, haven't I?
00:27:33All the items today will go to Renee Brown.
00:27:51Thank you. I wouldn't have gotten these back so quickly if it wasn't for you.
00:27:56I was just doing my job, as your husband.
00:28:01I have something for you.
00:28:04Even though this is a marriage of convenience, we should still have rings.
00:28:10Are you sure? It was your mom's.
00:28:13More than ever.
00:28:21Renee Brown, will you marry me?
00:28:30You're too late.
00:28:33I'm already taken.
00:28:37By you.
00:28:44By you.
00:29:03I love you.
00:29:34Hello?
00:29:36Wake up, Renee. Norman Group is fighting back.
00:29:39They're buying up our stock in large quantities.
00:29:41What?
00:29:44Are you sure about that?
00:29:46I'm done lying to her.
00:29:48I'm ready to tell her that I'm the one in charge of the Norman Group.
00:29:58Something urgent?
00:30:00Yeah, it's... I'll explain later.
00:30:09Maybe next time.
00:30:16I didn't see your reservation, Grandpa.
00:30:19I didn't know I needed permission to come to my old office.
00:30:23How's Florida?
00:30:25Not bad.
00:30:27Not bad?
00:30:29Until I found out that you're married to somebody I don't even know?
00:30:34Yep.
00:30:35My ship has sailed.
00:30:37Nothing you can do about it.
00:30:39Is that so?
00:30:41I've already called Fiona back from Europe.
00:30:44Get ready for your marriage with her.
00:30:46I'm already the head of the Norman Group.
00:30:49Not even you can interfere with my life anymore.
00:30:53You don't know what I'm capable of, young man.
00:31:02It's a good thing we reacted quickly.
00:31:04Damage wasn't too severe.
00:31:07How come we're meeting here and not at your house?
00:31:10Barrett's there.
00:31:12Wait, are you two living together?
00:31:14No, not yet.
00:31:16Still haven't told him.
00:31:23Hello?
00:31:24Are you available tonight?
00:31:26I have something to tell you.
00:31:36What happened?
00:31:37Nothing. Just some family issues.
00:31:39Well, I'm an expert in that.
00:31:44If you are having family issues, you could always come stay at my place.
00:31:50Are you asking me to move in with you?
00:31:52Will you?
00:31:56Barry, I missed you so much.
00:31:59Fiona?
00:32:08It's been so long. You still like black coffee?
00:32:11No, thank you.
00:32:13I admire your devotion.
00:32:15And who is she?
00:32:17This is Renee. She's my...
00:32:19This blind date.
00:32:21Really?
00:32:22Yeah.
00:32:23But I have to think twice about whether to continue.
00:32:26Well, I guess I've been gone for too long.
00:32:29But I came back to marry Barrett.
00:32:32Isn't that right?
00:32:35Fiona, I'm already married and Renee...
00:32:37I know.
00:32:38But Benjamin told me that you're willing to divorce her anytime for me.
00:32:43Is that so? Good to know.
00:32:45Excuse me for a moment. You two can wrap it up.
00:32:50Renee, let me explain first.
00:32:52Explain what?
00:32:54You have a gravely ill grandfather, you have to marry a wealthy woman to pay for his treatment?
00:32:59That is such a cliche, even for a soap opera.
00:33:02Wait! It's not true.
00:33:06Oh, what's going on? You two had a fight?
00:33:09None of your business.
00:33:11Barry, I haven't had time to book a hotel yet.
00:33:14Why don't I stay at your place?
00:33:18Such a gentleman would never say no.
00:33:20Sweet dreams, both of you.
00:33:26Enough! I'm not going to divorce you.
00:33:28I'm not going to divorce you.
00:33:30I'm not going to divorce you.
00:33:32I'm not going to divorce you.
00:33:34I'm not going to divorce Renee and I'm certainly not going to get married to you.
00:33:37So she's your quickie wife?
00:33:39Now I know why Benjamin called me.
00:33:42She's not a quickie.
00:33:44She's the love of my life.
00:34:05You invited me.
00:34:07No taking backsies.
00:34:35I thought you were going to leave me.
00:34:38No chance.
00:34:45The thing I fear the most is deceit and betrayal.
00:34:50I know.
00:34:52And I won't do either of those things.
00:34:55Do you promise?
00:34:57I promise.
00:34:59I promise.
00:35:03No one kisses me right now.
00:35:17I don't recall ever seeing any jokes in there.
00:35:20No, man.
00:35:21I moved in with Renee.
00:35:23Oh yeah.
00:35:24Totally normal thing to do.
00:35:26For a married couple.
00:35:28Okay, look, I'm just waiting for the right time to properly propose.
00:35:31What do you think about me purchasing the Laura group as a gift for her?
00:35:35You think she'll like it?
00:35:37Oh my god, I hate rich people.
00:35:40Come on, man.
00:35:41I mean it.
00:35:42Look, it was founded by her mom, right?
00:35:45I know that we still don't know who the president is,
00:35:47but the company deserves to be back in the hands of its rightful owner.
00:35:50Alright, Romeo.
00:35:54The front desk handed this to me.
00:35:56Said it was from someone anonymous.
00:36:01Wait a second.
00:36:03Isn't this the room that me and Renee first met?
00:36:06Don't tell me she's planning on proposing officially as well.
00:36:10We'll see.
00:36:13Oh my god.
00:36:25Renee?
00:36:27Oh, hi.
00:36:35Nice.
00:36:43I love you.
00:36:49I just keep loving you more.
00:36:52Yeah, me too.
00:36:54What the hell?
00:36:56I can take you there.
00:36:58Don't worry.
00:37:00What happens here stays here.
00:37:02No.
00:37:03You're psychotic.
00:37:05Does she know who you really are?
00:37:08You two are from completely different worlds.
00:37:10There's no future for you and her.
00:37:12Thanks for your input.
00:37:14If you leave, you're gonna regret it.
00:37:16If I stay, I'll regret it.
00:37:18Don't think about pulling any more tricks.
00:37:20I can pull all of your company's investments in a second.
00:37:41You have something for me?
00:37:43I'm sorry, but you deserve to know.
00:37:49I know you're married to him, and I said no at first,
00:37:53but as you know, his passion is unstoppable.
00:37:59Don't be sad over a man who doesn't love you.
00:38:05Is that it?
00:38:07Is that it?
00:38:09What do you mean?
00:38:11Are you okay with your husband cheating on you?
00:38:13Why not?
00:38:15I already told Renee everything.
00:38:18Your plan failed.
00:38:26Better luck next time.
00:38:29No, stop.
00:38:31That won't work on me.
00:38:33You could make some real money on OnlyFans, though.
00:38:35Go back to Europe, Fiona.
00:38:37And don't ever come back.
00:38:40Renee, do you really trust your husband?
00:38:44Don't bother.
00:38:46I know he has his secrets.
00:38:49And I've got mine.
00:38:51We've promised to give each other space.
00:38:54Enjoy your flight, Fiona.
00:39:05I love you.
00:39:23Finally.
00:39:27What's got you so happy?
00:39:31You don't have to wait for tonight.
00:39:33You can't tell me now.
00:39:35Gotta keep some level of surprise and suspense in our relationship.
00:39:38Okay, drama queen.
00:39:44Renee, Norman Group just became our largest shareholder.
00:39:46I need you at the office now.
00:39:50Norman.
00:39:58Norman.
00:40:03What's wrong? Something happen?
00:40:05Something urgent just came up. I gotta go.
00:40:08Don't forget to be back by seven.
00:40:10I've got something important planned.
00:40:16What's going on?
00:40:18How did Norman Group buy into our company?
00:40:20Mara and Chloe sold their shares to Norman Group to cash out.
00:40:23Plus the other shares that Norman bought at high prices.
00:40:27Norman Group now owns 50% of the company.
00:40:30Well, do we know who's behind this?
00:40:33The company is now expecting their president out there.
00:40:36Are you sure about this?
00:40:39What are you doing here?
00:40:48What are you doing here?
00:40:50I've been meaning to introduce myself properly.
00:40:53I'm the president of Laura Group.
00:40:56Even if you are the president,
00:40:58I know that you don't have any power because of the Norman Group.
00:41:01What a shame.
00:41:02The Norman Group is well on its way to taking over this company.
00:41:06I wonder how long your struggle will be before your defeat.
00:41:09Security, kick her out.
00:41:11I don't want her going anywhere near the office.
00:41:13Don't let her even take a picture.
00:41:15No, until Norman Group holds their shareholder meeting,
00:41:18I still have control of this company. Let me go.
00:41:20Are you really gonna let them steal from my mom again?
00:41:23It still belongs to our family.
00:41:25Family? How can you use that word, you coward?
00:41:29Well, it looks like the wild child is lacking etiquette.
00:41:33I think you need a lesson.
00:41:37Don't you dare!
00:41:38What?
00:41:45Don't you dare!
00:41:46What?
00:41:51This is my final warning.
00:41:54This is a Brown family matter. You need not get involved.
00:41:57Funny, I don't see myself standing in the Brown family household.
00:42:00Is the heir's assistant always so audacious?
00:42:03Actually, I'm here on behalf of Mr. Norman
00:42:06to appoint Renee as the new president of the Laura Group.
00:42:11Are you serious?
00:42:13You heard me right.
00:42:14Now, I assume you would like to clear out these three?
00:42:17I am so sorry, but since you've traded away all of your shares,
00:42:20you no longer have any stake in the Laura Group.
00:42:24Please leave.
00:42:26Let's go, ladies. Let's go.
00:42:34Let me get this straight.
00:42:35Norman Group, as the largest shareholder of Laura Group,
00:42:38wants me to be president?
00:42:40Indeed.
00:42:41Well, I don't understand why they would do that.
00:42:43I don't have any connection to them.
00:42:46Except...
00:42:55I don't have any connection to them.
00:42:58Except...
00:43:00Well, I was going to tell you tonight. Actually, I...
00:43:03Are you really just Mr. Norman's assistant?
00:43:05Huh?
00:43:06My relationship to him is through you.
00:43:08How did you convince him to do it?
00:43:10Does he know I've been opposing him the whole time?
00:43:12Opposing him? What do you mean?
00:43:14I should have told you sooner.
00:43:19I've been president of Laura Group all along.
00:43:21Wait, so you're the reason for the stock drop?
00:43:26Well, let's take it as a happy coincidence.
00:43:33It must have taken you a lot to make this happen.
00:43:35You have to let me meet Mr. Norman.
00:43:39Sure. Sure.
00:43:42What are you waiting for?
00:43:52THE NEXT DAY
00:43:57Dude.
00:43:58Why didn't you come clean back there?
00:44:00It's too much for her to process today.
00:44:02I'll take it to her another day.
00:44:03What are you hesitating for, man?
00:44:05Isn't it a good thing for the husband to be loaded eye candy?
00:44:10Renee isn't shallow like that.
00:44:12If she finds out that she lost to me in this business arrangement,
00:44:15she's not going to be happy.
00:44:17Well, you played the game and you won.
00:44:19She needs to accept that.
00:44:21She can lose, okay?
00:44:23But not to me in disguise.
00:44:25It's different.
00:44:28I guess marriage is hard.
00:44:30Can't wait to see your wedding day.
00:44:36The thing I fear most is deceit and betrayal.
00:44:41THE NEXT DAY
00:44:44THE NEXT DAY
00:44:48Congrats, Renee.
00:44:49I always knew you were something special.
00:44:51Really?
00:44:52Then who was it that mistook Mara for the president?
00:44:55Well, everyone makes mistakes.
00:44:58But that won't happen again now that you're in charge.
00:45:01Whoa, that necklace is gorgeous.
00:45:04Only someone like you could pull it off.
00:45:06What, this?
00:45:07No, this is a knock-off.
00:45:08Barrett gave it to me at a party to show off and I wear it for fun.
00:45:12No way.
00:45:13I've never made mistakes in luxury.
00:45:16There's no chance that's a knock-off.
00:45:18Alright, I'm not going to hold you accountable for the past.
00:45:20You can stop with the flattery.
00:45:22For short, stop sucking up.
00:45:25Don't you have work to be doing?
00:45:26Yeah, yeah, I'm on it.
00:45:28But seriously, that necklace is real.
00:45:31No flattery, just facts.
00:45:39That necklace is real.
00:45:41No flattery, just facts.
00:45:47What if Carl's right?
00:45:48How much would that cost?
00:45:49No.
00:45:50Even though he works for Norman Group, something like this would still be a stretch.
00:45:55Unless...
00:45:56Because I'm the real heir.
00:45:58Assistant.
00:45:59I came back to marry Barrett.
00:46:01I was going to tell you tonight, actually.
00:46:06No.
00:46:07Barrett is nothing like those trust fund kids.
00:46:12Hold on.
00:46:15The necklace is real.
00:46:17Look.
00:46:18Your Barrett is Barrett Norman.
00:46:21The heir to the Norman Group.
00:46:26Dude, don't bother confessing.
00:46:28Looks like someone already did it for you.
00:46:31What?
00:46:32Who did this?
00:46:33Who did this?
00:46:40Get the PR team in here.
00:46:41I want this article redacted and any rumors squashed immediately.
00:46:47Uh, you have a visitor.
00:46:49Not now!
00:46:54So the article was true.
00:46:58Let me explain.
00:46:59I was going to tell you earlier, but then I found out that you were the...
00:47:02You found out that I was the president of the company you acquired?
00:47:04You're defeated opponent, right?
00:47:06Not true.
00:47:07Then what is the truth?
00:47:09Were you afraid to hurt my pride?
00:47:11Or was it just fun for you to watch me be fooled?
00:47:13You don't get it, Renee.
00:47:15I acquired the lower group for you as a gift.
00:47:17I know how important it is to you and your mom.
00:47:19Hey, don't talk about my mother.
00:47:21I don't get it.
00:47:22You were so excited about this before you knew who I was, so why not now?
00:47:25Because I don't need your mercy.
00:47:27I had a plan.
00:47:28I was capable of doing it myself.
00:47:30I was your husband.
00:47:31I wanted to help you to carry the burden.
00:47:33Is that so wrong?
00:47:35No.
00:47:37Not anymore.
00:47:40What's that supposed to mean?
00:47:46Have your lawyer contact mine.
00:47:48We're getting a divorce.
00:47:50Renee.
00:47:51Renee.
00:47:58Did you really mean it about the divorce?
00:48:00Shouldn't you two talk things over?
00:48:02What is there to talk about?
00:48:04We're just different kinds of people.
00:48:06Pretty much the same to me.
00:48:08Both executives, both enjoy identity games.
00:48:10I thought that you were supposed to be on my side.
00:48:12I am.
00:48:16I feel like you're being a little too impulsive.
00:48:18If Barrett had known you as the president, maybe he wouldn't have acted like this.
00:48:21Maybe he would have assisted you in a different way.
00:48:23Maybe that's my issue.
00:48:27The Browns think money can solve anything.
00:48:29Including love and dignity.
00:48:33I don't know if Barrett's like that too.
00:48:37You do.
00:48:38You know deep down Barrett isn't like that.
00:48:48Should I trust you, Barrett?
00:48:59Renee.
00:49:00What do I have to do to get you back?
00:49:18Hey.
00:49:22Hey.
00:49:23Renee.
00:49:24You're back.
00:49:26I'm sorry. I did it out of love for you.
00:49:29Please forgive me.
00:49:31It's okay.
00:49:32I have my faults too.
00:49:34So you're not divorcing me?
00:49:36Why should I?
00:49:38I'm not dreaming, am I?
00:49:44No.
00:49:45This is real.
00:49:49Let's get you to bed.
00:49:58Relax.
00:50:00Come here, Renee.
00:50:18I'm sorry.
00:50:30Fiona.
00:50:32What the hell are you doing here?
00:50:38What the hell are you doing here?
00:50:41Don't you remember?
00:50:43It was you who suggested we get together last night.
00:50:45What?
00:50:46No way. Last night it was Renee.
00:50:50It was you.
00:50:52Don't get close to me.
00:50:56And keep your mouth shut.
00:50:58If you don't, I won't let you live it down.
00:51:17Where are the photos?
00:51:23You seem not mad.
00:51:25He made his decision.
00:51:27Aren't you guys getting a divorce?
00:51:29You seem well informed.
00:51:31Regardless, Barrett is still a shareholder in my company,
00:51:34and it's my job to protect our reputation from people like you.
00:51:39Well.
00:51:41I admire your sanity.
00:51:43Have a drink with me,
00:51:45and I'll give you all the photos.
00:51:47And I'll leave Barrett alone.
00:52:00Did you drug me?
00:52:03Yes.
00:52:05I did.
00:52:07Did you drug me?
00:52:10Yes.
00:52:12I did.
00:52:14And by the way,
00:52:16I was the one who wrote the article revealing Barrett's identity.
00:52:32Renee?
00:52:38Remember to sign these papers.
00:52:41The company rightfully belongs to you.
00:52:44That was my promise.
00:52:47Maybe my last one.
00:53:02I love you.
00:53:08Mr. Norman?
00:53:10What are you doing here? Where's Renee?
00:53:12I need your help. Renee's missing.
00:53:14Missing?
00:53:30Do we really have to?
00:53:32She's still my daughter.
00:53:34Zip it.
00:53:36Do you want the money or not?
00:53:38Dad, as long as he's willing to sign, we'll let her live.
00:53:50You must be starving.
00:53:53You know I'm allergic to nuts, right?
00:54:00Look, Renee.
00:54:02Just sign the documents.
00:54:04Sign your shares over to Chloe and I guarantee she'll let you go.
00:54:09Let me go?
00:54:11Did you give my mom that choice?
00:54:13Just kill me, if you dare.
00:54:26My detectives are still searching,
00:54:28but her last location update was 12 hours ago.
00:54:31All right, keep me in the loop.
00:54:40What are you doing here?
00:54:42Barry, why do you look so stressed?
00:54:45How did you get in?
00:54:47I just walked in, as your fiancé.
00:54:49Get out.
00:54:51You're the last person I want to see right now.
00:54:55Kick me out, and you'll never see her again.
00:55:01Where is she?
00:55:03She's alive, for now.
00:55:06But only if you agree to one condition.
00:55:10What do you want?
00:55:13Marry me.
00:55:21What do you want?
00:55:23What do you want?
00:55:26Marry me.
00:55:29You're sick.
00:55:31You kidnapped Renee just so that you could marry me?
00:55:34Don't flatter yourself.
00:55:37It was never you that I wanted.
00:55:39What do you mean?
00:55:41Well, ever since I was born,
00:55:43everyone swore to me that I was going to be the future Mrs. Norman.
00:55:47So this is all just about power.
00:55:49Exactly.
00:55:51From being the head of the Norman Company,
00:55:53you were always destined to be my husband.
00:56:00Take your time to think about it.
00:56:02But not too long.
00:56:04She's got a lot of enemies.
00:56:12Enemies?
00:56:16Paul, find Damon for me, right now.
00:56:21No!
00:56:25Go after him!
00:56:31Just give me three days, and I'll get your money back, I promise.
00:56:35Where is Maura Brown?
00:56:37I wouldn't know. She broke up with me a long time ago.
00:56:42So you want me to call your creditors over here?
00:56:45Okay, okay. But I swear I had nothing to do with the kidnapping.
00:56:49How much do you know?
00:56:51Maura asked me to help, but I didn't.
00:56:54Wait. Then how could you know where she is?
00:56:57I have Maura's GPS.
00:57:00This is her location.
00:57:14We can't tip them off until we make our move.
00:57:19I agree to get engaged with you.
00:57:24Paul, you need a new suit.
00:57:49Didn't Miss Norman just get married?
00:57:52Why is he getting engaged again?
00:57:54It's a business marriage. It's pretty common.
00:57:58If you're going to act, do it right.
00:58:02I'm not as fake as you. I can't pull it off.
00:58:06Make me happy, and that woman might stay alive.
00:58:11Excuse me, Your Majesty. I have a very important phone call to make.
00:58:15I'll be back.
00:58:26I need her dead. Now.
00:58:41I have a very important phone call to make. I'll be back.
00:58:50Here's the keys to your rental. It'll keep them from spotting you.
00:58:53Thanks, man. I really appreciate you coming through for this.
00:58:56You gotta hurry. Okay? I don't want to be here for too long.
00:59:00Go.
00:59:02Thanks, buddy.
00:59:04Okay. Go. Hurry.
00:59:10Go kill her. Fiona will hand the company over to us.
00:59:13Do it fast, Dad. We'll meet you outside.
00:59:20I'm so sorry, Renee.
00:59:32I'm so sorry, Renee.
00:59:35Sorry? Did you ever feel sorry for my mother?
00:59:38It wasn't my fault. I had no choice.
00:59:41But you did. And you chose to sacrifice her.
00:59:45Just do it. I'm ready.
01:00:04Renee. Oh, my God. Are you all right?
01:00:08Let's get you out of here.
01:00:10Not so fast.
01:00:13Toodle-oo, lovebirds.
01:00:23What took you so long?
01:00:34Where's Barrett?
01:00:37I'm here.
01:00:49Not so fast.
01:00:52Toodle-oo, lovebirds.
01:01:01Game over.
01:01:04Game over.
01:01:09You're alive?
01:01:11You seem surprised.
01:01:14What happened to you?
01:01:16Why don't you ask Fiona?
01:01:17I didn't do anything.
01:01:18This was a setup.
01:01:19Maybe you should ask them instead.
01:01:31Uncle Ben. Help me.
01:01:33Weren't you always on my side?
01:01:36Well, I'm no longer your head of the family.
01:01:40Do whatever you need to do.
01:01:43Hey, let go of me.
01:01:50This isn't over.
01:01:59Till death do us part.
01:02:01Till death do us part.
01:02:19Look.
01:02:20Our stock just hit an all-time high.
01:02:22Nice. Double that and it might be worth half our price.
01:02:26Well, give me a year and I'll definitely surpass you.
01:02:30Sure thing.
01:02:36Miss Brown, about the divorce application you submitted a few months ago...
01:02:39We won't need it.
01:02:44What do you say, Miss Brown?
01:02:46Shall we do this thing?
