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?
00:06:57I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
00:06:59I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:07:01I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:07:03I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:07:05I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:07:07I'm sorry, I'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?
00:07:40I'm sorry.
00:07:52Are you alright, my dear wife?
00:07:56What are you doing here?
00:07:59You're working.
00:08:02What about you?
00:08:04I'm...
00:08:06Someone's escort.
00:08:10You do know you're married, right?
00:08:13Of course. I 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.
00:08:25Neither did I, until you showed up.
00:08:36Clean that up.
00:08:42Are you really asking me?
00:08:47Are you really asking me?
00:08:48Well, of course I am. I'm the fiance of the heir to the Norman family.
00:08:53How could you do that? Do you know how much that costs?
00:08:56Well, with the price of the champagne that's on it, I would say your fur just increased in value.
00:09:14It's my son.
00:09:16I'm sorry.
00:09:18It's my stepsister. Sorry that you had to see that.
00:09:22No worries. All families have issues. You should have let me deal with her.
00:09:27Well, I couldn't let you get in trouble.
00:09:34In return, you could have a little authentic husband experience with me.
00:09:40I couldn't afford that.
00:09:43Get the necklace from the safe. Someone deserves a gift.
00:09:54Here's a gift for Ms. Brown.
00:10:13Oh, that's me. Oh, it's beautiful. I bet Damon got this for me.
00:10:20Much better than an invitation, if I do say so myself.
00:10:24Mara, is that the only way you can make yourself feel valuable?
00:10:28Wait, this is for Ms. Renee Brown?
00:10:32I'm Renee Brown.
00:10:36May I ask who sent this?
00:10:38Sorry, I don't know.
00:10:39You bitch. You set this entire thing up with a fake necklace and everything just to embarrass me.
00:10:46Mara, the only person embarrassing you here is yourself.
00:10:50No one has ever given you a gift because you are an unwanted loser.
00:10:55Unwanted? Says who?
00:11:10Unwanted? Says who?
00:11:16She's with me.
00:11:18Oh, a skank and a server. How fitting.
00:11:22But you know what, sister? I did think you would go with someone more of like a washed up, in his 80s type.
00:11:27No, thank you. But speaking of losers, you should probably go check in with your fiancé.
00:11:32My fiancé is the heir to the Norman Group. One word and he'll have both of you two out on your asses.
00:11:40I would like to see him try.
00:11:43Damon, come to my rescue please.
00:11:46What's going on?
00:11:48Hello, Damon. So you're her fiancé? The heir to the Norman Group?
00:11:54Yes, speak with some respect.
00:11:56He's full of lies. He's not the real heir.
00:12:00He's not the real heir.
00:12:07He's not the real heir.
00:12:09Are you accusing him?
00:12:11Why don't you let him speak for himself?
00:12:14Enough. I'll make a scene. Let's go.
00:12:19Let me spell it out for you two. He's the cousin to the heir who likes to use the family name to scam people.
00:12:27How do you know that?
00:12:28Because I'm the real heir. Heir's assistant. Right, Damon?
00:12:37And you know the cost of lying. Right, Damon?
00:12:43Yes.
00:12:48Just, just let me go. Please.
00:12:52Please.
00:12:57Damon 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? Thank you.
00:13:18May I speak to the president of the Laura Group?
00:13:22That's me. What do you want?
00:13:24Such an honor to finally meet you. Thank you and your company for the generous donation. It will benefit so many children.
00:13:31Oh, yeah. Don't worry about it. It's nothing.
00:13:34Would you prefer the five million as a check or a bank transfer?
00:13:38Five million. What?
00:13:41Your assistant asked me to meet you here. Or you could just sign your name on this contract.
00:13:48You framed me.
00:13:51Well, it's not framing if you're the real president. Unless you're lying.
00:14:01You framed me.
00:14:04Well, it's not framing if you're the real president. Unless you're lying.
00:14:10You know what? I don't feel so well. I don't even think I could pick up that pen. You'll have to find me another day.
00:14:21Mara's a fake. I'm such a fool.
00:14:24Don't be too hard on yourself.
00:14:26Well, where's the real president?
00:14:31I know.
00:14:33The real president?
00:14:40He's in the office.
00:14:54Can I have a dance with you?
00:15:01Seems like everyone has trust issues tonight.
00:15:04Do you?
00:15:07Like what?
00:15:10Are you really just an assistant?
00:15:18What about you? Are you really an escort? Where's your client?
00:15:27Seems like everyone has secrets.
00:15:30Sometimes the best solution is to just ignore the problem. At least for tonight.
00:15:36I agree. But I have to admit it'll probably be difficult for me to suppress my curiosity.
00:15:42Then I guess I'll have to keep you busy.
00:15:45I hope so.
00:16:06How generous.
00:16:37Dude, Lord Group is dumping our shares. Our stock price is crashing.
00:16:46What?
00:16:54Do we know who the president is yet?
00:16:56I checked every news source. I can't find anything on who the president is.
00:17:03That's impossible.
00:17:04What is it?
00:17:07Laura Brown? The founder of Laura Group? Didn't she pass away like five years ago?
00:17:12I'm going to get to the bottom of this.
00:17:15Phase one completed. Mara and her mother had heavily invested in Norman Group, so 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, won't doing this also affect Laura Group's assets?
00:17:32Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
00:17:34Don't worry. I have a plan.
00:17:37I trust you, but don't overdo it.
00:17:41I have a feeling I'll be meeting the heir of Norman Group very soon.
00:17:45Dear President, it's time to teach you a lesson.
00:17:57The informant says the president of Laura Group will be here tonight.
00:18:01I'll flush out this rat. I swear.
00:18:05Renee?
00:18:07Parrot, what are you doing here?
00:18:10I'm here to meet with the real president of the Laura Group.
00:18:13Have you seen...
00:18:17Damn, Paul.
00:18:20I forgot my wallet in the car.
00:18:22Um, why don't you order your drink? It's on me.
00:18:35Are 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. I'm going to get every single one of her pieces back.
00:19:18This isn't over!
00:19:23Mom, I'm going to protect your artwork and your company. I promise.
00:19:30Hey, what's got you so down, chica?
00:19:32Leave me alone.
00:19:34You need my company.
00:19:40Leave her alone!
00:19:48Who the fuck?
00:19:50I'm her husband.
00:19:52I get it. Someone's unsatisfied.
00:20:03Are you alright?
00:20:05Fine. Thank you.
00:20:12You feeling confident?
00:20:14Let's see.
00:20:18Let us go. Unless you want to see some blood.
00:20:23Run.
00:20:32Run.
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.
00:20:59Is just holding my hands enough?
00:21:03Not really.
00:21:05What else do you want?
00:21:2880% of the items are your mother's belongings, starting at $1.
00:21:34They're trying to humiliate her. And we can't let them get away with this.
00:21:38Yeah, but Mara's definitely going to have some tricks up her sleeve.
00:21:41Then we need a white knight.
00:21:47Norman!
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?
00:22:17The heir's assistant. There's no one better for the job.
00:22:20I can ask him for real.
00:22:22These items were supposed to be my mother's legacy.
00:22:24And then she was kicked out of the group that she founded by Mara's mother.
00:22:28And now they're trying to cash in on her belongings.
00:22:31I need the heir to back you at the auction.
00:22:34You're my only choice.
00:22:41Since you're Laura's daughter, do you know who the new president is?
00:22:47Of course.
00:22:49Who is it?
00:22:55Me.
00:23:01Who is it?
00:23:05Me.
00:23:11I'm sorry, that was a bad joke.
00:23:15Thank goodness that you're not a stand-up comedian.
00:23:18Enough said.
00:23:20I can help you to get those things back.
00:23:39Are you being watched?
00:23:41Not yet.
00:23:43Do I really have to dress like a secret agent?
00:23:44Mara's met you already.
00:23:46She might recognize you.
00:23:48No way.
00:23:50In this outfit?
00:23:52I barely even recognize myself.
00:24:04Renee.
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?
00:24:24Well, 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.
00:24:32I wonder how many auction items you're going to get to buy before you deplete your pocketbook.
00:24:37I wonder what the value of a useless dead body would bring to you tonight.
00:24:40Don't worry.
00:24:42The 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.
00:24:54And we will start the bidding at...
00:24:57One dollar.
00:25:05One hundred thousand.
00:25:07One hundred thousand.
00:25:10One hundred and one thousand.
00:25:12Two hundred thousand.
00:25:14Two hundred and one thousand.
00:25:18Five hundred thousand.
00:25:24Sold!
00:25:26Congratulations, guest number eight, who is the heir of the Norman Group.
00:25:37Sold!
00:25:39Congratulations, Mr. Norman, on securing all the items thus far.
00:25:44Mom, I have to go for him.
00:25:46Oh dear, don't rush it.
00:25:48You've got to play hard to get.
00:25:50For the final item this evening, we have a set of matching rings.
00:25:54My mother's wedding rings.
00:25:56They will start at just one dollar.
00:26:00One hundred thousand.
00:26:03One hundred thousand.
00:26:04Sold!
00:26:08Do I hear another bid?
00:26:11Sold!
00:26:13Congratulations on securing yet another item.
00:26:21Before you start talking big, you might want to check your bank account.
00:26:25Yeah, you're screwed.
00:26:27Even Norman's heir is on our side.
00:26:29I wouldn't be so sure about that.
00:26:31Congratulations, Miss Brown.
00:26:32Mr. Norman has transferred all the items in your name.
00:26:36Here's the transfer document.
00:26:40Who's screwed now?
00:26:50Have you met this heir in person?
00:26:52Why would Mr. Norman help you?
00:26:54Mr. Norman!
00:26:58Wait a second.
00:27:00I knew it!
00:27:02I'm the assistant!
00:27:04Assistant?
00:27:06How is the assistant going to pay for all this?
00:27:08About that.
00:27:10According 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.
00:27:24That orphanage has taught you quite a bit, hasn't it?
00:27:33All the items today will go to Renee Brown.
00:27:53I wouldn't have gotten these back so quickly if it wasn't for you.
00:27:55I was just doing my job, as your husband.
00:28:00I have something for you.
00:28:03Even though this is a marriage of convenience, we should still have rings.
00:28:08Are you sure?
00:28:10It was your mom's.
00:28:12More than ever.
00:28:20Renee Brown.
00:28:23Will you marry me?
00:28:29You're too late.
00:28:32I'm already taken.
00:28:37By you.
00:28:44By you.
00:29:02I love you.
00:29:33Hello?
00:29:34Wake up, Renee.
00:29:36Norman Group is fighting back.
00:29:38They're buying up our stock in large quantities.
00:29:40What?
00:29:43Are you sure about that?
00:29:45I'm done lying to her.
00:29:47I'm ready to tell her that I'm the one in charge of the Norman Group.
00:29:57Something urgent?
00:29:59Yeah, it's...
00:30:00I'll explain later.
00:30:08Maybe next time.
00:30:15I didn't see your reservation, Grandpa.
00:30:18I didn't know I needed permission to come to my old office.
00:30:23How's Florida?
00:30:25Not bad.
00:30:26Until I found out that you're married to somebody I don't even know?
00:30:31Yep.
00:30:33My ship has sailed.
00:30:35Nothing you can do about it.
00:30:37Is that so?
00:30:39I've already called Fiona back from Europe.
00:30:42Get ready for your marriage with her.
00:30:44I'm already the head of the Norman Group.
00:30:47Not even you can interfere with my life anymore.
00:30:53You don't know what I'm talking about.
00:30:56What are you capable of, young man?
00:31:03It's a good thing we reacted quickly.
00:31:06Damage wasn't too severe.
00:31:08How come we're meeting here and not at your house?
00:31:12Barrett's there.
00:31:14Wait, are you two living together?
00:31:16No, not yet.
00:31:18But still 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?
00:31:38Nothing. Just some family issues.
00:31:40Well, 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?
00:31:55Barry, I missed you so much.
00:31:59Fiona?
00:32:07It'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...
00:32:19His blind date.
00:32:21Really?
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. Isn't that right?
00:32:34Fiona, I'm already married and Renee...
00:32:37I know. But Benjamin told me that you're willing to divorce her anytime for me.
00:32:42Is that so? Good to know.
00:32:46Excuse me for a moment. You two can wrap it up.
00:32:52Renee, let me explain first.
00:32:54Explain what?
00:32:56You have a gravely ill grandfather. You have to marry a wealthy woman to pay for his treatment.
00:33:01That is such a cliche, even for a soap opera.
00:33:04Wait! It's not true.
00:33:14Oh, what's going on? You two had a fight?
00:33:17None of your business.
00:33:18Barry, I haven't had time to book a hotel yet. Why don't I stay at your place?
00:33:25Such a gentleman would never say no.
00:33:28Sweet dreams, both of you.
00:33:33Enough! I'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? Now I know why Benjamin called me.
00:33:42She's not a quickie. She's the love of my life.
00:33:48I'm sorry.
00:34:10You invited me. Now take it back, she's...
00:34:18I'm sorry.
00:34:36I thought you were going to leave me.
00:34:38No chance.
00:34:40No.
00:34:45The thing I fear the most is deceit and betrayal.
00:34:50I know. And I won't do either of those things.
00:34:55Do you promise?
00:34:57I promise.
00:35:02No one kisses me right now.
00:35:10I don't recall ever seeing any jokes in there.
00:35:13No, man. I moved in with Renee.
00:35:16Oh, yeah. Totally normal thing to do. For a married couple.
00:35:21Okay, look, I'm just waiting for the right time to properly propose.
00:35:25What do you think about me purchasing the Laura group as a gift for her?
00:35:29You think she'll like it?
00:35:31Oh my God, I hate rich people.
00:35:33Come on, man. I mean it. Look, it was founded by her mom, right?
00:35:37I know that we still don't know who the president is,
00:35:40but the company deserves to be back in the hands of its rightful owner.
00:35:43All right, Romeo.
00:35:47The front desk handed this to me. Said it was from someone anonymous.
00:35:54Wait a second.
00:35:57I don't understand.
00:35:59Wait a second.
00:36:02Isn't this the room that me and Renee first met?
00:36:05Don't tell me she's planning on proposing officially as well.
00:36:09We'll see.
00:36:23Renee?
00:36:25Oh, hi.
00:36:26Oh, hi.
00:36:48I just keep loving you more.
00:36:51Yeah, me too.
00:36:53What the hell?
00:36:55I can take you there.
00:36:57Hey, don't worry.
00:36:59What happens here stays here.
00:37:02No, you're psychotic.
00:37:04Does she know who you really are?
00:37:07You 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.
00:37:25Hey!
00:37:46You have something for me?
00:37:48I'm sorry, but you deserve to know.
00:37:50I know you're married to him, and I said no at first,
00:37:54but as you know, his passion is unstoppable.
00:38:00Don't be sad over a man who doesn't love you.
00:38:06Is that it?
00:38:08What do you mean?
00:38:10Are you okay with your husband cheating on you?
00:38:13No, why not?
00:38:15I'd have told Renee everything.
00:38:17I'd have told Renee everything.
00:38:20Your plan failed.
00:38:28Better luck next time.
00:38:31No, stop.
00:38:33That won't work on me.
00:38:35You could make some real money on OnlyFans, though.
00:38:37Go back to Europe, Fiona.
00:38:39And don't ever come back.
00:38:42Renee, do you really trust your husband?
00:38:46Don't bother.
00:38:48I know he has his secrets.
00:38:51And I've got mine.
00:38:53We've promised to give each other space.
00:38:56Enjoy your flight, Fiona.
00:39:17Finally.
00:39:21What's got you so happy?
00:39:25You don't have to wait for tonight.
00:39:27You can't tell me no.
00:39:29We've got to keep some level of surprise and suspense in our relationship.
00:39:32Drama queen.
00:39:37Renee, Norman Group just became our largest shareholder.
00:39:40I need your help.
00:39:42Okay.
00:39:43Renee, Norman Group just became our largest shareholder.
00:39:46I need you at the office now.
00:39:49Norman.
00:39:57Norman.
00:40:02What's wrong? Something happen?
00:40:04Something urgent just came up.
00:40:06I gotta go.
00:40:08Don't forget to be back by seven.
00:40:10I've got something important planned.
00:40:14What's going on?
00:40:16How did Norman Group buy into our company?
00:40:18Mara and Chloe sold their shares to Norman Group to cash out.
00:40:21Plus the other shares that Norman bought at high prices.
00:40:25Norman Group now owns 50% of the company.
00:40:28Well, do we know who's behind this?
00:40:31The company is now expecting their president out there.
00:40:34Are you sure about this?
00:40:37What are you doing here?
00:40:44I've been meaning to introduce myself properly.
00:40:47I'm the president of Laura Group.
00:40:50Even if you are the president,
00:40:52I know that you don't have any power because of the Norman Group.
00:40:55What a shame.
00:40:57The Norman Group is well on its way to taking over this company.
00:41:00I wonder how long your struggle will be before your defeat.
00:41:03Security!
00:41:05Kick her out.
00:41:07I don't want her going anywhere near the office.
00:41:09Don't let her get away with this.
00:41:10I don't want her going anywhere near the office.
00:41:12Don't let her even take a picture.
00:41:14No, until Norman Group holds their shareholder meeting,
00:41:17I still have control of this company.
00:41:19Let me go.
00:41:21Are you really going to let them steal from my mom again?
00:41:23It still belongs to our family.
00:41:25Family.
00:41:27How can you use that word, you coward?
00:41:29Well, it looks like the wild child is lacking etiquette.
00:41:32I think you need a lesson.
00:41:36Don't you dare!
00:41:38What?
00:41:41This is my final warning.
00:41:44This is a Brown family matter.
00:41:46You need not get involved.
00:41:48Funny, I don't see myself standing in the Brown family household.
00:41:51Is the heir's assistant always so audacious?
00:41:54Actually, I'm here on behalf of Mr. Norman
00:41:57to appoint Renee as the new president of the Laurie Group.
00:42:01What?
00:42:03What?
00:42:05What?
00:42:07What?
00:42:08Renee is the new president of the Laurie Group.
00:42:10Are you serious?
00:42:12You 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 Laurie Group.
00:42:23Please leave.
00:42:25Let's go, ladies, let's go.
00:42:34Let me get this straight.
00:42:35Mr. Norman Group, as the largest shareholder of Laurie Group,
00:42:38wants me to be president?
00:42:40Indeed.
00:42:42Well, I don't understand why they would do that.
00:42:44I don't have any connection to them.
00:42:46Except...
00:42:54I don't have any connection to them.
00:42:57Except...
00:43:00Well, I was going to tell you tonight.
00:43:02Actually, I...
00:43:03Are you really just Mr. Norman's assistant?
00:43:05Huh?
00:43:07My relationship to him is through you.
00:43:09How did you convince him to do it?
00:43:11Does he know I've been opposing him the whole time?
00:43:13Opposing him? What do you mean?
00:43:15I should have told you sooner.
00:43:19I've been president of Laurie Group all along.
00:43:22Wait, so you're the reason for the stock drop?
00:43:26Well, let's take it as a happy coincidence.
00:43:32It must have taken you a lot to make this happen.
00:43:34You have to let me meet Mr. Norman.
00:43:37Um, sure.
00:43:39Sure.
00:43:41What are you waiting for?
00:43:55Dude.
00:43:57Why didn't you come clean back there?
00:43:59It's too much for her to process today.
00:44:01I'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?
00:44:09Renee isn't shallow like that.
00:44:11If 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.
00:44:27I guess marriage is hard.
00:44:29Can't wait to see your wedding day.
00:44:35The thing I fear most is deceit and betrayal.
00:44:47Congrats, Renee.
00:44:49I always knew you were something special.
00:44:51Really? Then who was it that mistook Mara for the president?
00:44:55Well, everyone makes mistakes.
00:44:57But that won't happen again now that you're in charge.
00:45:00Whoa, that necklace is gorgeous.
00:45:03Only someone like you could pull it off.
00:45:05What, this?
00:45:07No, this is a knockoff.
00:45:09Barrett gave it to me at a party to show off and I wear it for fun.
00:45:12No way.
00:45:14I've never made mistakes in luxury.
00:45:16There's no chance that's a knockoff.
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.
00:45:24Don't you have work to be doing?
00:45:25Yeah, yeah, I'm on it.
00:45:27But seriously, that necklace is real.
00:45:30No flattery, just facts.
00:45:37That necklace is real.
00:45:40No flattery, just facts.
00:45:45What if curls are right?
00:45:47How much would that cost?
00:45:49No, even though he works for Norman Group,
00:45:51something like this would still be a stretch.
00:45:53You must.
00:45:55Because I'm the real heir.
00:45:57Assistant.
00:45:59I came back to marry Barrett.
00:46:01I was going to tell you tonight, actually.
00:46:05No, Barrett is nothing like those trust fund kids.
00:46:10Hold on.
00:46:13The necklace is real.
00:46:15Look, your Barrett is Barrett Norman,
00:46:19the heir to the Norman Group.
00:46:21Norman, the heir to the Norman Group.
00:46:26Dude, don't bother confessing.
00:46:28Looks like someone already did it for you.
00:46:30What?
00:46:32Who did this?
00:46:39Get the PR team in here.
00:46:41I want this article redacted and any rumors squashed immediately.
00:46:46Uh, you have a visitor.
00:46:48Not now!
00:46:51So the article was true.
00:46:55Let me explain.
00:46:57I was going to tell you earlier,
00:46:59but then I found out that you were the...
00:47:01Well, I found out that I was the president of the company you acquired.
00:47:03Your defeated opponent, right?
00:47:05Not 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 Lord Group for you as a gift.
00:47:17I know how important it is to you and your mom.
00:47:18Hey, don't talk about my mother!
00:47:20I don't get it.
00:47:22You were so excited about this before you knew who I was,
00:47:24so why not now?
00:47:26Because I don't need your mercy!
00:47:28I had a plan. I was capable of doing it myself.
00:47:30As your husband, I wanted to help you to carry the burden.
00:47:32Is that so wrong?
00:47:34No.
00:47:36Not anymore.
00:47:39What's that supposed to mean?
00:47:45Have your lawyer contact mine.
00:47:46We're getting a divorce.
00:47:48Renee.
00:47:56Did you really mean it about the divorce?
00:47:58Shouldn't you two talk things over?
00:48:00What is there to talk about?
00:48:02We're just different kinds of people.
00:48:04Pretty much the same to me.
00:48:06Both executives, both enjoy identity games.
00:48:08I thought that you were supposed to be on my side.
00:48:10I am.
00:48:13I feel like you're being a little too hard on yourself.
00:48:14I feel like you're being a little too impulsive.
00:48:16If Barrett had known you as the president,
00:48:18maybe he wouldn't have acted like this.
00:48:20Maybe he would have assisted you in a different way.
00:48:22Maybe that's my issue.
00:48:25The Browns think money can solve anything,
00:48:27including love and dignity.
00:48:31I don't know if Barrett's like that, too.
00:48:35You do.
00:48:37You know deep down Barrett isn't like that.
00:48:45Should I trust you, Barrett?
00:48:57Renee, what do I have to do to get you back?
00:49:15Oh.
00:49:21Hey.
00:49:23You're back.
00:49:25I'm sorry.
00:49:27I did it out of love for you.
00:49:29Please forgive me.
00:49:31It's okay.
00:49:33I have my faults, too.
00:49:35So you're not divorcing me?
00:49:37Why should I?
00:49:39I'm not dreaming, am I?
00:49:41No.
00:49:43This is real.
00:49:47Let's get you to bed.
00:49:56Relax.
00:49:58Come here, Renee.
00:50:10What the hell are you doing here?
00:50:29Fiona!
00:50:31What the hell are you doing here?
00:50:37What the hell are you doing here?
00:50:40Don't you remember?
00:50:42It was you who suggested we get together last night.
00:50:44What?
00:50:46No way. Last night it was...
00:50:48It 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.
00:51:11Where are the photos?
00:51:16You seem... not mad.
00:51:18He made his decision.
00:51:20Aren't you guys getting a divorce?
00:51:22You seem well-informed.
00:51:24Regardless, Barrett is still a shareholder in my company,
00:51:27and it's my job to protect our reputation from people like you.
00:51:30I'm sorry.
00:51:32I'm sorry.
00:51:34I'm sorry.
00:51:36I'm sorry.
00:51:38I'm sorry.
00:51:41Well...
00:51:44I admire your sanity.
00:51:47Have a drink with me,
00:51:49and I'll give you all the photos.
00:51:51And I'll leave Barrett alone.
00:52:06Did you drug me?
00:52:07Did you drug me?
00:52:09Yes.
00:52:11I did.
00:52:13And by the way,
00:52:15I was the one who wrote the article revealing Barrett's identity.
00:52:31Renee?
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. Do you want the money or not?
00:53:36Dad, as long as he's willing to sign, we'll let her live.
00:53:49You must be starving.
00:53:52You know I'm allergic to nuts, right?
00:53:59Look, Renee.
00:54:01Just sign the documents.
00:54:02Sign your shares over to Chloe and I guarantee you she'll let you go.
00:54:07Let me go?
00:54:09Did you give my mom that choice?
00:54:11Just kill me.
00:54:13If you dare.
00:54:24My detectives are still searching.
00:54:26But her last location update was 12 hours ago.
00:54:29Alright.
00:54:30Alright.
00:54:32Keep me in the loop.
00:54:39What are you doing here?
00:54:41Barry.
00:54:43Why do you look so stressed?
00:54:45How did you get in?
00:54:47I just walked in.
00:54:49As your fiancé.
00:54:51Get out.
00:54:53You'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.
00:55:05For now.
00:55:07But only if you agree to one condition.
00:55:10What do you want?
00:55:13Marry me.
00:55:21What do you want?
00:55:22What do you want?
00:55:25Marry me.
00:55:28You're sick.
00:55:30You kidnapped Renee just so that you could marry me?
00:55:33Don't flatter yourself.
00:55:35It was never you that I wanted.
00:55:38What do you mean?
00:55:40Well, ever since I was born, everyone swore to me that I was going to be the future Mrs. Norman.
00:55:46So this is all just about power.
00:55:48Exactly.
00:55:49Blame it on being the head of the Norman Company.
00:55:52You were always destined to be my husband.
00:55:59Take your time to think about it.
00:56:01But not too long.
00:56:04She's got a lot of enemies.
00:56:11Enemies?
00:56:15Paul, find Damon for me.
00:56:17Right now.
00:56:24Go after him!
00:56:30Just give me three days and I'll get your money back, I promise.
00:56:34Where is Maura Brown?
00:56:36I wouldn't know. She broke up with me a long time ago.
00:56:41Do you want me to call your creditors over here?
00:56:43Okay, okay, but I swear I had nothing to do with the kidnapping.
00:56:48How would you know?
00:56:50Maura asked me to help, but I didn't.
00:56:53Wait, then how could you know where she is?
00:56:56I have Maura's GPS. This is her location.
00:57:13We can't tip them off until we make our move.
00:57:21I agree to get engaged with you.
00:57:25Paul, you need a new suit.
00:57:44Didn't Miss Norman just get married?
00:57:47Why is he getting engaged again?
00:57:49It's a business marriage. It's pretty common.
00:57:54If you're going to act, do it right.
00:57:58I'm not as fake as you. I can't pull it off.
00:58:02Make me happy and that woman might stay alive.
00:58:14Excuse me, Your Majesty. I have a very important phone call to make. I'll be back.
00:58:30I need her dead. Now.
00:58:34I have a very important phone call to make. I'll be back.
00:58:42Here's the keys to your rental. It'll keep them from spotting you.
00:58:46Thanks, man. I really appreciate you coming through for this.
00:58:50You gotta hurry. Okay? I don't want to be here for too long.
00:58:53Go.
00:58:55Thanks, buddy.
00:58:57Okay. Go.
00:58:59I'll be back.
00:59:03Go. Hurry.
00:59:09Go kill her. The owner 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.
00:59:21I'm so sorry, Renee.
00:59:31I'm so sorry, Renee.
00:59:36Sorry? Did you ever feel sorry for my mother?
00:59:39It wasn't my fault. I had no choice.
00:59:42But you did. And you chose to sacrifice her.
00:59:46Just do it. I'm ready.
00:59:52Renee.
01:00:03Renee.
01:00:05Oh, my God. Are you all right?
01:00:08Let's get you out of here.
01:00:10Not so fast.
01:00:13Toodaloo, lovebirds.
01:00:22What took you so long?
01:00:32Where's Barrett?
01:00:36I'm here.
01:00:47Not so fast.
01:00:51Toodaloo, lovebirds.
01:01:00Game over.
01:01:08You're alive?
01:01:10You seem surprised.
01:01:13What happened to you?
01:01:15Why don't you ask Fiona?
01:01:17I didn't do anything. This was a setup.
01:01:19Maybe you should ask them instead.
01:01:22Toodaloo, lovebirds.
01:01:30Uncle Ben, help me.
01:01:32Weren't you always on my side?
01:01:35Well, I'm no longer your head of the family.
01:01:39Do whatever you need to do.
01:01:42Hey, let go of me.
01:01:49This isn't over.
01:01:52No.
01:01:58Till death do us part.
01:02:00Till death do us part.
01:02:18Look.
01:02:19Our stock just hit an all-time high.
01:02:21Nice.
01:02:23Double that and it might be worth half of our price.
01:02:25Well, give me a year and I'll definitely surpass you.
01:02:29Sure thing.
01:02:35Miss Brown, about the divorce application you submitted a few months ago...
01:02:39We won't need it.
01:02:43What do you say, Miss Brown?
01:02:45Shall we do this thing?
01:02:49Let's do it.
