00:00:00Let Leon go. I'm marrying Vincent like you asked.
00:00:09Patience is a virtue. Besides, the groom isn't even here yet.
00:00:13Stay back.
00:00:15Leon?
00:00:17Your brother only breathes because I allow it.
00:00:21Don't test me, Bella Miller.
00:00:23Don't hurt him!
00:00:25That's not up to you.
00:00:29I can't wait to meet the Vincent Owens.
00:00:32Phil played with Phil. There won't be a more fitting match.
00:00:36Rumor has it that he's a booze hound.
00:00:38He's squandering money like he made it himself.
00:00:41He doesn't even care about his family.
00:00:44He's worthless. Not fit to shine Reginald's shoes.
00:00:48Rightful heir.
00:00:50I heard he likes to hang with common gangster scum.
00:00:54I'm so scared.
00:00:55Don't worry, babe. I got this.
00:00:59V, where are you?
00:01:02I don't want to marry a stranger.
00:01:06Do you know who I am?
00:01:08I work for Reginald Owens.
00:01:11You're dead.
00:01:12Dead!
00:01:13Quit your yapping.
00:01:16Lapdog.
00:01:17Vincent Owens?
00:01:18How dare you defy your brother Reginald?
00:01:21He's your brother. The true heir.
00:01:27That bastard child.
00:01:28Doesn't matter anymore.
00:01:29Mrs. Owens bit the dust ten years ago.
00:01:32All for the family.
00:01:33Your dad doesn't seem to mind though.
00:01:35That might be true.
00:01:37But he and his mother murdered mine.
00:01:41How is that possible?
00:01:42That is none of your concern.
00:01:44What?
00:01:47You either listen to me, the true heir, or you die.
00:01:52Sir, the wedding's about to start.
00:02:00The bride's waiting.
00:02:02Wedding.
00:02:04The engagement arranged by Mr. Harold.
00:02:07The young lady from the Miller family.
00:02:09You promised.
00:02:11Still, appearances must be kept, yes?
00:02:15Typical.
00:02:16He's late.
00:02:17I'm sorry.
00:02:18Um.
00:02:19Uh, Bella Miller?
00:02:20Uh, sorry.
00:02:21It's business.
00:02:22You understand.
00:02:23It's okay.
00:02:24I'm leaving here.
00:02:25Isn't that a good thing?
00:02:26But I...
00:02:27I'm leaving here.
00:02:28Isn't that a good thing?
00:02:29I'm leaving here.
00:02:30I'm leaving here.
00:02:32I'm leaving here.
00:02:35Isn't that a good thing?
00:02:36But I...
00:02:37I'm leaving here.
00:02:38I'm leaving here.
00:02:43It's not a good thing.
00:02:44But I...
00:02:45What about you?
00:02:49Here.
00:02:58For when we meet again.
00:03:01It's so beautiful.
00:03:03I'm gonna become the best designer in the world.
00:03:06And design the best necklace.
00:03:09Why are you here, Serena?
00:03:11And how did you become Bella Miller?
00:03:21Mr. Owens.
00:03:23I'm...
00:03:24Sorry.
00:03:25Um...
00:03:26Shall we proceed?
00:03:27We are all gathered before God here today.
00:03:30Vincent.
00:03:31Do you take Miss Miller as your wife?
00:03:33I do.
00:03:35Bella.
00:03:36Do you take Mr. Owens as your husband?
00:03:37I do.
00:03:38Bella.
00:03:39Do you take Mr. Owens as your husband?
00:03:40I do.
00:03:41Aww.
00:03:42Match made in heaven.
00:03:43Bravo.
00:03:44I did what you said.
00:03:45Now honor our agreement.
00:03:46Agreement?
00:03:47Mom, do you know anything about an agreement with Mrs. Owens?
00:03:56Of course.
00:03:57Serena said when she marries him to the Owens family, she will pay us back for our kindness
00:04:12tenfolds.
00:04:13What?
00:04:14I never said that.
00:04:15Serena, you are so selfish.
00:04:19If we hadn't picked you out of that orphanage, you would never be enjoying the wonderful life
00:04:24that you are today.
00:04:25What do you want?
00:04:26500,000?
00:04:27500,000?
00:04:28Have some self-worth, Serena.
00:04:32You kept me in a basement for ten years.
00:04:37Leon and I had to feed off of table scraps.
00:04:39What more could you take from me?
00:04:41I'm sorry, is something the matter?
00:04:48Oh, the dashing husband now, are we?
00:04:51We were just discussing the debt of gratitude heroes.
00:04:55Well, how much is it?
00:04:56I'll take care of him.
00:04:58You?
00:05:01Can you afford it?
00:05:05Five million, is that enough?
00:05:06No.
00:05:07Sounds good.
00:05:08That's great.
00:05:10You think your grandpa's table scraps is enough?
00:05:15Okay, well, what do you want?
00:05:16All of it.
00:05:18I want you out of this family.
00:05:23No bark and no bite.
00:05:25As per the usual.
00:05:27Just let this be a warning.
00:05:29Don't come near me or mine ever again.
00:05:32No, for excuses.
00:05:34Let go of me.
00:05:35Why do you care?
00:05:36I'm helping you.
00:05:37You think money can solve everything?
00:05:39They are keeping my brother prisoner.
00:05:41I'm sorry.
00:05:42I didn't know that.
00:05:43Let me make this clear.
00:05:44You are not the man that I wish to marry.
00:05:47And that five million, I will pay you back as soon as I can.
00:05:50Money is not that...
00:05:51Okay, look.
00:05:52I know that you don't see us as a real couple, but we need to look the part for grandpa.
00:05:56And once that's over, if you want a divorce, I can accept that.
00:06:01Okay.
00:06:02But whatever that was today, that can never happen again.
00:06:06I don't need you saving me.
00:06:18Well...
00:06:20He's quite convinced now, sir.
00:06:22Just don't tell grandpa.
00:06:25Old Mr. Owens clearly knows about your mother.
00:06:28Becoming the heir is the only true way to avenge my mother.
00:06:31That's all that matters.
00:06:33Also...
00:06:35Look into my new wife for me.
00:06:37Bella Miller.
00:06:38No.
00:06:39The real Bella Miller was standing next to Reginald.
00:06:43I wanna know what those bastards did to her.
00:06:58Sorry.
00:06:59I was just, uh...
00:07:01Intrigued by your designs.
00:07:06Hm?
00:07:07What are they for?
00:07:08Just some freelance work.
00:07:09I mean, you've got some serious skills.
00:07:12You could secure some high-level work with this.
00:07:14Inevar Architects is the best design company in the country.
00:07:17I mean, you should give them a shot.
00:07:28Hey.
00:07:29Um...
00:07:30You got a job interview?
00:07:31I have an interview at Inevar.
00:07:33Oh, alright.
00:07:34Well, uh...
00:07:35Good luck.
00:07:36Thanks.
00:07:40Um...
00:07:41I wanted three, but I guess I'll toast another...
00:07:44Okay, she's gone.
00:07:51Introduce yourself, please.
00:07:53I'm Serena Collins.
00:07:54I have extensive experience in design,
00:07:57and I really hope to join this company.
00:08:00Do you have any actual experience in corporate design?
00:08:03These are my designs.
00:08:08Impressive.
00:08:11Did you design these yourself?
00:08:13Or...
00:08:14Can you prove you actually designed these?
00:08:16I mean, everyone can...
00:08:18Trace a design.
00:08:20Pick any of these and I will explain them in great detail.
00:08:23No need.
00:08:25You don't even meet our basic requirements.
00:08:27It's over.
00:08:28But I...
00:08:29Sorry.
00:08:30You've just indeed lacked work experience.
00:08:32It's just not a match price right now.
00:08:40Those designs were so unique.
00:08:41I feel like I've seen them somewhere.
00:08:42I've seen people like her before.
00:08:44Copying other people's work.
00:08:48How could her designs resemble our style more than mine?
00:08:51Mine.
00:08:56How did Serena's interview go?
00:08:58She didn't pass.
00:09:00Sorry, brother.
00:09:02The interviewer was Bella Miller.
00:09:04She was promoted to be the manager of the design department.
00:09:07No.
00:09:10I've seen Serena's designs.
00:09:12Hers are obviously more impressive than this.
00:09:14Let's find out how Bella got in.
00:09:16And while you're at it, keep an eye on the election.
00:09:19Understood.
00:09:21By the way, I found out that the Millers bought them from the orphanage.
00:09:25Though I can't find a trace of this, Leon.
00:09:29And...
00:09:30Just...
00:09:31Keep looking.
00:09:37Hey.
00:09:38Hey.
00:09:39Are you okay?
00:09:41Why are you here?
00:09:43I'm here to pick you up.
00:09:45Thanks.
00:09:46But...
00:09:47Unfortunately, I didn't pass.
00:09:49Don't worry.
00:09:50A diamond always shines through no matter what.
00:09:53Come on.
00:09:54Let's go.
00:09:56Guess who I interviewed today?
00:09:58Serena Collins.
00:10:00Fake Bella?
00:10:02Did you let her pass?
00:10:03Do you even need to ask?
00:10:05You should come around to the office more often.
00:10:08My darling CEO.
00:10:10Everyone knows you're the future wife of the chairman.
00:10:13No need to show off.
00:10:16Okay.
00:10:23What do you think?
00:10:24It's...
00:10:25Wonderful.
00:10:27I didn't think you'd be such a good cook.
00:10:28Everyone says that...
00:10:29That I'm a loser.
00:10:31Sorry.
00:10:32No.
00:10:33You shouldn't care about what others say.
00:10:35Thank you for today.
00:10:37I didn't expect to come home to such a nice meal.
00:10:40If Inovar doesn't want me, there are plenty of other companies.
00:10:44Serena, I don't think today was your fault.
00:10:45She's always hated me.
00:10:48I know you're not the real Bella Miller.
00:10:51She's your sister, right?
00:10:53What?
00:10:55Who told you that?
00:10:57You said your brother is being held captive and I don't think anybody would imprison their own child.
00:11:02Please don't tell anyone.
00:11:03Don't worry.
00:11:05Your secret is safe with me.
00:11:07Oh.
00:11:09Sorry, I should probably...
00:11:11You do your thing.
00:11:14Yeah.
00:11:16The lady's foster parents are still being difficult about Leon.
00:11:18Don't they own a design company?
00:11:21I mean, just apply some pressure.
00:11:23What?
00:11:25I passed the interview?
00:11:28Okay.
00:11:30I got the job.
00:11:32Oh my gosh.
00:11:33Come here.
00:11:34I'll be here.
00:11:35I'll be here.
00:11:42Hey babe.
00:11:44What are you doing here?
00:11:46I thought I told you you weren't qualified.
00:11:49This is my offer.
00:11:54So you pulled strings?
00:11:56Bella's our manager.
00:11:57If she says you aren't good, you aren't.
00:12:00I don't think she takes kindly to being spoken for, miss.
00:12:05How dare you talk like that?
00:12:07Don't you know Bella is the future wife of the CEO of Inovar?
00:12:12The future heir of the Owens.
00:12:13Have you been living under a rock?
00:12:15Okay.
00:12:16I don't know who you had to sleep with to get here.
00:12:19But this is my house.
00:12:21And my rules.
00:12:24You can either...
00:12:26revise these before you leave today.
00:12:29Or get out.
00:12:33Just...
00:12:35Just bear with her.
00:12:36Hey.
00:12:43It's so late and you're still not done with this?
00:12:46Thanks.
00:12:48Yeah, it was the first day and she's already giving me a hard time.
00:12:54Bella Miller could be trouble.
00:12:57I need to pay her a visit.
00:13:07These are the design drafts we buys yesterday and the one based on the motion brief.
00:13:13Please take a look.
00:13:15I told you if you can't do it on time, you might as well not do it at all.
00:13:18You can look at the drafts I made. They've all been approved by the client.
00:13:23Not good enough.
00:13:25What? At least tell me what the problem is.
00:13:28Bella's your line manager. If she says it's not enough, it's not enough.
00:13:31I'm willing to fix any mistakes that I made, but I can't do anything if you don't tell me what the problem is.
00:13:38You think this is just about revising?
00:13:41The client will be here any minute.
00:13:43What are we supposed to present?
00:13:47Hi.
00:13:49You're downstairs.
00:13:51Okay, perfect. I'll be down in just a minute.
00:13:54Conference room two. Now.
00:13:56Good job. We have the shares now.
00:14:03Reginald's still in the dark.
00:14:06Most time to surprise him then.
00:14:14I'm really glad that you're here.
00:14:16Serena, fetch us some coffee.
00:14:18How good it's been so long.
00:14:20I didn't expect for us to collaborate again so soon.
00:14:23Well, take a look at this draft.
00:14:24Sure.
00:14:26How are the projections looking?
00:14:27We've added 20 new brand partners, and we're expecting 3 billion in profits this quarter.
00:14:31That's good. And how is our collaboration with Motion going?
00:14:34The representative of Motion's already meeting with them in conference room two.
00:14:37Okay. By the way, Bella was here.
00:14:38By the way, Bella was here.
00:14:39Oh, wait.
00:14:48Um, what are you doing here?
00:14:51Uh, business?
00:14:53What are you doing here?
00:14:54I have a meeting.
00:14:55I have a meeting.
00:14:56A few.
00:14:57If this one doesn't work, I can always pin it on Serena.
00:15:10These designs are really not what we're looking for.
00:15:11You know what? You're right. I had a rookie who started yesterday design these. I wanted her to practice.
00:15:25Bella, what are you talking about?
00:15:26Why don't you try these ones?
00:15:33These are top notch.
00:15:38Bella, how did you come up with these designs?
00:15:41I designed it this way because...
00:15:43Motion is our biggest brand partner. Don't speak out of turn.
00:15:46But I designed this, not Bella Miller.
00:15:48What?
00:15:49Are you trying to steal my work?
00:15:50Only Bella and the company can do such high level work.
00:15:53I'm not lying. I drew this. I know these front to back.
00:15:56Stop.
00:15:57Are you trying to ruin this collaboration?
00:15:58I'm just telling the truth.
00:16:01How am I supposed to trust you guys with someone like this on your team?
00:16:05Who's arguing right here?
00:16:06Sweetie, what brings you up here?
00:16:08President, this woman is trying to steal Bella's work.
00:16:11You need to change your hiring policies.
00:16:13Ethics is very important to us.
00:16:18Inovera takes ethics very seriously as well.
00:16:20What's going on?
00:16:21I was just trying to give Serena a chance to practice.
00:16:24She's the one speaking out of turn.
00:16:27It's my work.
00:16:29You deserve to be fired for daring to claim my work as yours.
00:16:33I'm sorry, who's thinking about firing Serena?
00:16:37Well, well, well.
00:16:38The prodigal son returns.
00:16:39Turning over a new leaf?
00:16:40What do you want?
00:16:41A job?
00:16:42Oh, well, if you're offering, I will take the position of CEO.
00:16:45Aw, the filth couple shares their grandeur of delusion.
00:16:48You and your trash wife make a great trash couple.
00:16:51Why don't you go back to your trash heap and get out of here?
00:16:54Oh, okay, well, I'll take up recycling later.
00:16:55Let me see the designs.
00:16:56Wow.
00:16:57You really do think you're CEO.
00:16:58Okay, these are clearly Serena's.
00:16:59What are you talking about?
00:17:00This is the work of a senior designer.
00:17:01You and your trash wife make a great trash couple.
00:17:03Why don't you go back to your trash heap and get out of here?
00:17:06Oh, okay, well, I'll take up recycling later.
00:17:10Let me see the designs.
00:17:13Wow.
00:17:14You really do think you're CEO.
00:17:17Okay, these are clearly Serena's.
00:17:20What are you talking about?
00:17:22This is the work of a senior designer.
00:17:24No, I saw Serena drawing those last night.
00:17:26Serena, when did you draw those?
00:17:27Covering for someone you sleep with?
00:17:30That's low, even for you.
00:17:31And why should anyone believe you?
00:17:33Well, I own the controlling shares here.
00:17:37I do own 50% of the company.
00:17:39Reginald is director and president here.
00:17:42Not anymore.
00:17:43What are you talking about?
00:17:44Oh, you didn't get the notice?
00:17:45I bought 50% of Inovar.
00:17:48What? That's impossible.
00:17:50The next board meeting?
00:17:51It's already over.
00:17:53Damon, what are you doing here?
00:17:55You betrayed me?
00:17:57I only serve the true heir of the Owens family.
00:17:59Oh, hey, no, no.
00:18:03Reggie, just do your job as director
00:18:05and take up recycling.
00:18:07Don't think you've won.
00:18:09As director, I can still fire anyone who plagiarized.
00:18:12Well, Serena never plagiarized.
00:18:15The company computers keep a record.
00:18:17Who logs in and does what works?
00:18:19It's pretty easy to check.
00:18:21Say anything and your brother gets it.
00:18:24No need.
00:18:24No need.
00:18:29Serena, what are you talking about?
00:18:32It's the truth.
00:18:35Just drop it, please.
00:18:37Well, okay.
00:18:39How about a competition, then?
00:18:41To see who's the real deal.
00:18:43Works for me.
00:18:45Good.
00:18:45And Inovar is hosting the IF design competition, so that should do.
00:18:55You won't win so easily again.
00:18:58Okay.
00:18:59I was, um, really shocked when you said that you own the company.
00:19:08Right.
00:19:08Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about that first.
00:19:10I, uh, wanted everything to be settled.
00:19:14You helped me again.
00:19:15I mean, um, but aren't you a little worried that your brother's gonna seek revenge?
00:19:21No.
00:19:22No, it's the Owen family way.
00:19:25It's been that way since my grandpa brought me back from the orphanage ten years ago.
00:19:36I'm sorry, I gotta take this.
00:19:38Hello?
00:19:40Where are you now?
00:19:42Reginald's been here for a while.
00:19:43Yeah, okay.
00:19:44Yeah, I'll do this.
00:19:49I'm sorry about that.
00:19:50I, I've gotta go.
00:19:51It's family stuff.
00:19:52Uh, of course.
00:19:54Enjoy the wine.
00:20:04And I told him, you call this caviar?
00:20:07Like, are you serious?
00:20:09Hey, grandpa, I'm so sorry I'm here now.
00:20:12Where have you been?
00:20:13Don't be angry.
00:20:14He must have been busy with the wife.
00:20:17Always revolving around a woman.
00:20:20No time for your old granddad.
00:20:22Vincent probably didn't intentionally sneak to the board meeting.
00:20:24I'm sure he'll manage the company quite well.
00:20:27You guys are trying to kill me sooner.
00:20:29Well, how about this?
00:20:30How about a competition between me and Reginald, then?
00:20:33You do understand your brother.
00:20:36But the Owen family is a family built off of design and capabilities.
00:20:41The IF design competition is in a week.
00:20:44If one of us can sign the best designer, then that's a clear show of superior skill.
00:20:50All right.
00:20:50It's settled then.
00:20:54Oh, I don't think I have much time.
00:20:56Grandfather.
00:20:57Take care of yourself.
00:20:59I'll come see you tomorrow.
00:21:00Vincent, can you stay for a moment?
00:21:04I need to speak with you.
00:21:05Yes, of course.
00:21:06You are both my grandsons.
00:21:09And I remember, family is everything.
00:21:21I can't believe I actually won.
00:21:24Orr's designs are finally being recognized.
00:21:27I always knew it.
00:21:28Now everybody else does too.
00:21:32A famous designer?
00:21:34You're going to be swamped with work.
00:21:36No, I need to focus on the IF design competition next week.
00:21:40Why?
00:21:41With your fame, you can easily get a lot of money without it.
00:21:45I made a bet with Bella Miller.
00:21:49That's crazy.
00:21:52Let me guess.
00:21:53This has something to do with your husband, Vincent.
00:21:58Okay.
00:21:59I see.
00:22:01You two seem to be getting along quite well.
00:22:03Well, he's good to me.
00:22:06He feels familiar, like an old friend.
00:22:09The news has been buzzing.
00:22:11They got a dark horse this year.
00:22:13I'll contact Aura and send her an invite to collab with us.
00:22:16No.
00:22:16I will send her an invite personally.
00:22:25Who is this Aura?
00:22:27And how come I've never heard of her?
00:22:29Well, she wasn't very famous before.
00:22:30She mainly deals in high tech.
00:22:33Rumor is she is young.
00:22:34Contact her now.
00:22:35She won't refuse an invite from someone as esteemed as me.
00:22:40Yes, President.
00:22:40So, how is the preparation for the contest going?
00:22:48Grandpa, I'm basically ready.
00:22:50My people have already sent an invite to Aura.
00:22:52Well, I felt that respect needs to be shown on a personal level, and so I'm sending one
00:22:58to Aura personally.
00:23:00You also sent her an invitation?
00:23:01Good job, Vincent.
00:23:04You just want another pretty tale to change, don't you?
00:23:06Now, now, now, enough squabbling.
00:23:08Look, I expect much out of both of you.
00:23:10So, just sign her, show me you've got what it takes.
00:23:19Wow.
00:23:20Somebody's getting good news.
00:23:23No, not really.
00:23:26Reginald Owens just sent me an invitation to be a judge.
00:23:29I wonder what he would say if he knew you were Aura.
00:23:36More invites?
00:23:38Show me, show me.
00:23:40Vincent just sent me an invitation, too.
00:23:43Aren't you popular?
00:23:45Two guys fighting over you at the same time?
00:23:47No, it's not like that.
00:23:49He's the new chairman, and we've both been really busy.
00:23:52We've really not talked at all.
00:23:54Are you going to kick Bella Miller's ass as yourself?
00:23:57Mm-hmm.
00:24:00Oh.
00:24:04That looks amazing.
00:24:15Almost done.
00:24:16Just need a few adjustments.
00:24:18That looks so good.
00:24:20Do you want me to get you a cup of coffee?
00:24:22No worries.
00:24:23I'll go with you.
00:24:23Yeah.
00:24:24She's Aura.
00:24:49Yeah, I'm happy I went with blue design.
00:24:51I don't pay you to slack off.
00:24:54Back to work.
00:24:56You know it.
00:24:57I won't lose to you this time.
00:25:06I have something to tell you.
00:25:08I know who the Aura is.
00:25:11Serena Collins.
00:25:13You serious?
00:25:14Absolutely.
00:25:16I wanted to see what she was preparing for the contest, and I found this.
00:25:21I can't believe the Aura, my idol in design school, is that disgusting leech.
00:25:26I even copied her style for my thesis.
00:25:28No matter.
00:25:29I must sign her first.
00:25:31You know, I could be Aura.
00:25:34With these unpublished designs, we could live good for ages.
00:25:38Not feasible.
00:25:39Vincent might already know.
00:25:40He isn't as dumb as he looks.
00:25:43Besides, grandfather isn't as easy to fool.
00:25:46And you are no Aura.
00:25:49So, what's your plan?
00:25:51I wanted to sign with us willingly.
00:25:55Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
00:25:57You still can't find Leon?
00:25:58They've been quite greedy.
00:26:00Asking for money all the time.
00:26:01Okay, I know this isn't your fault, but I've had enough of this.
00:26:04You need to tell Bruce to find him by whatever means.
00:26:08But...
00:26:09Cautiously.
00:26:12Copy that.
00:26:12Why haven't you released Leon yet?
00:26:27What the hell do you want from me?
00:26:29Ten million for ten years.
00:26:31That's a fair price, no?
00:26:33Time is worth its weight in gold, after all.
00:26:36You thieving bastards.
00:26:39Contributing to the family is what you should have been doing.
00:26:41Be grateful to be letting you off this easy.
00:26:43Where am I supposed to get that much money?
00:26:45I have a solution.
00:26:47One big happy ending for everybody.
00:26:49Go on, I'll handle this.
00:26:51Save your mockeries for another day.
00:26:58What do you want?
00:26:59I'm in no mood for your game.
00:27:01I always hated how stupid the two of them were.
00:27:05All they see is money.
00:27:07Not talent.
00:27:09Aura.
00:27:09What are you talking about?
00:27:10My Reginald is so resourceful.
00:27:14Nothing is hidden from his eagle eyes.
00:27:18If you're just gonna spew your lovey-dovey crap, I'm leaving.
00:27:23Sign an exclusive contract with Reginald.
00:27:26And I'll shoo away the vultures.
00:27:28And why aren't you signing me?
00:27:34Really?
00:27:34All that firecracker spirit and still not an ounce of brain in there.
00:27:39We're accessories to the men.
00:27:40Surely Vincent bought you for the same reason.
00:27:42Vincent is not like that.
00:27:44He didn't buy me.
00:27:45Oh, don't be so naive.
00:27:48Love can be bought, like anything in this world.
00:27:51And Reginald can offer you twice what he can.
00:27:55He didn't bribe me.
00:27:56And why would he be so nice to you?
00:27:58Unless he knew who you were.
00:28:01No.
00:28:03I didn't tell him I was Aura.
00:28:05Well, I mean, if Reginald can figure it out with just a little bit of digging, I'm sure Vincent can too.
00:28:10Oh, you still think he's your white knight.
00:28:12Well, if he is, why hasn't he found your brother yet?
00:28:16Or maybe he'll dangle it over your head to use your help.
00:28:20Stop.
00:28:21Play for the winning side, my darling sister.
00:28:24It's the only way to be free and do what you want.
00:28:26And who knows what the notorious Vincent will do to your brother once he gets his hands on him.
00:28:31At least with us.
00:28:32You know where you stand.
00:28:33You have three days to decide.
00:28:41If you join us, your brother goes free and you'll be rewarded handsomely.
00:28:46Is he helping me just to use me?
00:28:49Can I really trust him?
00:28:58Hey.
00:29:01How's your day?
00:29:03Are these the, uh, designs that you're submitting to the competition?
00:29:07What do you think?
00:29:08I mean, these are gonna win, surely.
00:29:11You're gonna do great.
00:29:12But, hey, um, afterwards, would you be willing to sign with me?
00:29:16But I'm already a designer at Inovar.
00:29:19I know, but I think we can make a lot of money with these.
00:29:23Is this why you've been helping me?
00:29:25Look, Serena, I can't lie.
00:29:27I mean, having these designs would help me, but I also care about you and what's best for you.
00:29:31And I want you to be happy.
00:29:33Hey, look, I appreciate you.
00:29:37Are my designs all that you're after?
00:29:40Is this all that there is to us?
00:29:48Serena, I...
00:29:48Okay, you are an incredibly talented designer.
00:29:53Am I just a designer to you?
00:29:55I mean, don't you want to be the most talented designer?
00:29:59Maybe.
00:30:00I don't know.
00:30:04Wait, hey, hey.
00:30:07I'll accompany you to the awards tomorrow.
00:30:09How about that?
00:30:10Sfora still hasn't responded to the invite.
00:30:16That's all right, because I actually have a better candidate in mind.
00:30:20My wife, Serena Collins.
00:30:23Is the contract going to be exclusive?
00:30:25No, look, I've seen her work.
00:30:27And interestingly enough, it's similar, but somehow better.
00:30:33Well, there isn't much to worry about then.
00:30:34I trust your judgment.
00:30:36Good.
00:30:37Drop some paperwork then.
00:30:39Give her the voting shares and promote her to the gold tier designer position.
00:30:44Good?
00:30:45All right.
00:30:54Sfora, what should I do?
00:30:56I can't stop thinking about what Bella said.
00:30:59Is that all there is?
00:31:00Am I just profit margins on a checklist?
00:31:02Does he like me or just my skills?
00:31:06Marriage itself is an exchange of interests.
00:31:10But that doesn't mean that you should settle without loving someone or liking them at least.
00:31:15The way he looks at me.
00:31:25Oh my gosh, it's just non-
00:31:27Listen, forget about that.
00:31:31If you don't live your life for yourself, nobody will.
00:31:36What does your heart say?
00:31:41Leon is my only family.
00:31:45And Vincent, he's just...
00:31:48I just can't make the same mistake again.
00:31:50I got to.
00:32:03Wait.
00:32:06Why did he do this?
00:32:08Now I look like just some trophy wife like Bella.
00:32:11No.
00:32:13I gotta respond.
00:32:15It's just gossip, honey.
00:32:16The vultures have no idea what they're talking about.
00:32:20It's okay.
00:32:22They have no idea.
00:32:35You're gonna win for sure.
00:32:36I think Serena is the dark horse here.
00:32:39She may not have the experience, but she absolutely has the skill.
00:32:42Aura's going to be here too.
00:32:44I want to see if I can get an autograph.
00:32:45We meet again.
00:32:47May the best woman win.
00:32:49Maybe you should ask for mercy now and spare yourself the embarrassment.
00:32:53Why do you always have to be like this?
00:32:56I heard Aura's going to be one of the judges today.
00:32:58The mysterious designer who came out of nowhere.
00:33:01What fun.
00:33:02Isn't it obvious?
00:33:04I'm looking forward to it.
00:33:07Thank you all for coming to the IF Design Competition.
00:33:10Let's welcome our judges.
00:33:11Welcome Dorothy, the president of the Royal Design Academy.
00:33:19Last but not least, let's give a warm welcome to our guest judge.
00:33:23The amazing Aura.
00:33:35Wow.
00:33:36Maybe the great and mighty Aura is looking down on us all right now.
00:33:40Will she grace us with her presence?
00:33:43Or are we not showing up?
00:33:44Aura never shows her face in public.
00:33:47It's not that irregular.
00:33:48Let's just go ahead and move this along.
00:33:52I will now officially announce today's winner.
00:33:55The third place goes to Melody Swede.
00:34:04The second place goes to Bella Miller.
00:34:12Second place is also good, Bella.
00:34:15The winner of this competition.
00:34:19Hurry up, who is it?
00:34:21The first place goes to Serena Collins.
00:34:27You are amazing.
00:34:32Look, there's your design draft.
00:34:35Oh my God.
00:34:36Look at the signature.
00:34:43Oh my God.
00:34:44Look at the signature.
00:34:46Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:34:48Aura graces with her presence after all.
00:34:50Um, congratulations on winning first place, Serena.
00:34:52I'm really happy for you.
00:34:54But why didn't you-
00:34:55Oh, genius designer.
00:34:56May I invite you to talk by the sky bar?
00:34:58Serena, I-
00:34:59You both want me to sign a contract with you?
00:35:02I value talent.
00:35:04Business is business, no?
00:35:06And you?
00:35:08Serena, it's your choice.
00:35:09Whatever you choose, I just-
00:35:11I want you to be happy.
00:35:13You want me to be happy?
00:35:14Are you helping me or are you helping yourself?
00:35:17Ms. Collins, I believe actions speak louder than words.
00:35:22Therefore, I'm willing to pay you this check of $10 million as a signing bonus.
00:35:27And I can pay you double for whatever price you ask for.
00:35:30That's not a deal you can get anywhere else.
00:35:32Serena, hey, look.
00:35:33Look at me.
00:35:34It's me.
00:35:34Let's just talk about this.
00:35:36Money is no object.
00:35:38Whatever he can offer, I can double it.
00:35:41I won't sign with the both of you.
00:35:43I'm tired.
00:35:44Stop following me.
00:35:46Serena, hey, no-
00:35:47See?
00:35:51This is all they want.
00:35:52And you can have everything you want, too.
00:35:55Money, power, even love.
00:35:58All in exchange for each other's desires.
00:36:01If you're going to be a tool, you might as well get paid for it.
00:36:05Can you stop talking?
00:36:07Serena, don't listen to her.
00:36:09Tool?
00:36:10And don't forget about your brother, too.
00:36:12Okay.
00:36:31If I sign this, will you release my brother?
00:36:35Of course.
00:36:36All debts will be erased.
00:36:38I'm a man of my word.
00:36:47This contract will be presented to my grandfather.
00:36:50I can't wait to savor the look on Vincent's face.
00:36:53No.
00:36:55I won't help you anymore.
00:36:56And besides, why do I have to meet your grandfather?
00:36:59My grandfather loves your work.
00:37:02I won't be involved with this anymore.
00:37:04You already are involved.
00:37:06This is how the game is played.
00:37:15Here's a check.
00:37:22Your brother means nothing to me.
00:37:24At least you had the decency to cultivate a useful talent.
00:37:27The most significance he can achieve in this life is leverage.
00:37:34Sister?
00:37:35Leon.
00:37:38Hey, sister, buddy.
00:37:39I'll take it.
00:37:40Okay.
00:37:40Wherever you are, I will find you.
00:37:43See?
00:37:44Isn't it good playing for the winning side?
00:37:46What?
00:37:46I'm sorry, Vinny.
00:38:04It was a new guy from Legal.
00:38:07He's fired now and taken care of.
00:38:10He didn't know much anyway.
00:38:12Some of the staff heard the news and thought speeding up the hiring policy would please you.
00:38:23I have to explain this to Serena.
00:38:25I just, I can't, I can't lose her this way.
00:38:28Hey, brother, want to visit our grandfather?
00:38:46Okay, yeah, I'll be right there.
00:38:50Grandfather, I have good news.
00:38:52I think I found the one.
00:38:54So soon, who is it?
00:38:56Indulge me a little.
00:38:58The suspense is good for the soul.
00:39:00Oh, you and your theatrics.
00:39:03Vincent, are you prepared also?
00:39:05Yes, I have a candidate in mind, but I'm still working on it.
00:39:09Okay, we'll hear it from Reginald then.
00:39:11I sign the one and only Ora.
00:39:14This is impressive.
00:39:22She's quite talented, Reginald.
00:39:24Yes.
00:39:25I remember you mentioning admiring her work and I thought, who better than someone like that?
00:39:30When did Ora agree to sign with you?
00:39:31I mean, did you do something to her?
00:39:34Trade secrets.
00:39:35All I can say is, she was more than happy to sign once she saw the zeros on the check.
00:39:40No, no, Serena's not the type to be moved by money.
00:39:43What did you do to her?
00:39:44So, you both know her?
00:39:46That's interesting.
00:39:47I'd like to meet this woman.
00:39:49Grandpa, you can meet her now.
00:39:51Genius Designer, come in!
00:39:54Serena, what are you doing here?
00:39:57I mean, did he do something to you?
00:40:05Hello, I'm Ora, the creator of the Xur Nebula.
00:40:09I didn't expect you to be so young.
00:40:12Reginald, you did well.
00:40:14Grandpa, our previous agreement?
00:40:16No, there's one week left.
00:40:19If you could match his offer.
00:40:21Yes, Grandpa.
00:40:22Yes, Grandpa.
00:40:24Hey, wait, Serena, Serena.
00:40:26Come on, hey.
00:40:28Is what he said in there true?
00:40:30Why did you sign with him?
00:40:31I mean, did he do something to you?
00:40:37Why did you sign with him?
00:40:38It's none of your business.
00:40:40I am not your property.
00:40:41I don't need to respond to anything.
00:40:43That's not what I meant.
00:40:45He doesn't care about you.
00:40:46He just wants you through your designs.
00:40:48He appreciates my work.
00:40:50I also appreciate your work and you.
00:40:53Or is it because I'm Ora?
00:40:54Or is it because you're so set on winning some pissing contest with your brother?
00:40:59Do you really think I would only sign you because of Ora?
00:41:02Enough with your gains.
00:41:04At least Reginald is honest about why he wants my work.
00:41:07You, you can't even be honest with me.
00:41:09Do you really not know my feelings for you?
00:41:11Look, I don't care about the money or who you sign with.
00:41:16I, why didn't you at least talk to me about this first?
00:41:19I am just your wife on paper.
00:41:21I'm not even the real Bella Miller.
00:41:23Why do you care so much?
00:41:25Because they're deceiving you.
00:41:29Do you really think I don't care about you?
00:41:32Serena, Serena, Serena, wait.
00:41:41Where is my brother?
00:41:44How can someone draw such pretty designs yet be as dumb as a sack of rocks?
00:41:49The game isn't over yet.
00:41:51Your brother stays until Reginald inherits.
00:41:53What does any of this have to do with me?
00:41:56He who signs the best designer shall inherit the house.
00:42:00And that right now, is you.
00:42:04Reginald thinks he won't buck, but I know better than to count my chickens before they hatch.
00:42:10See?
00:42:13All of this over an inheritance.
00:42:22See?
00:42:23You actually can think.
00:42:26And I'm just a pawn in your game, right?
00:42:30You, Vincent, Reginald, you are all the same.
00:42:35How can you be so good at drawing yet so thick when it comes to people?
00:42:39I can't believe you would betray the only man who loves you for your useless flesh, brother.
00:42:44Don't talk about my brother like that.
00:42:46You're doing the same thing for your family.
00:42:49Blood is thicker than water.
00:42:51Actually, it's the blood of the Covenant that is thicker than the water of the womb.
00:42:57Common mistake amongst feeble-minded fools.
00:43:00I'm not doing this for family.
00:43:02Then why?
00:43:04Why are you doing this?
00:43:06Survival.
00:43:08I'm a survivor.
00:43:09I've learned a long time ago that if you're not taking, you'll be taken from.
00:43:13All I wanted was to design jewelry and they didn't ask for any of this.
00:43:28And they just are all the same.
00:43:30All of them.
00:43:30They uprooted my life for stupid bets.
00:43:37It fell in their hands like a damn fiddle.
00:43:40I really don't think that's the case.
00:43:41You just met him, right?
00:43:43If you were a tool, he would have made you do every single thing that he wanted.
00:43:48I really don't think that he knew.
00:43:50I know that I don't know your husband very well, but he seemed genuinely happy for you when you won.
00:43:56I just, I don't know.
00:43:58I know that this is a game that rich people play, but at least he never hurt you.
00:44:03I didn't know the stakes were going to be this high.
00:44:06It feels like his family or mine, and maybe, maybe I am just like them.
00:44:20Hey, Blake.
00:44:23Look, Serena wasn't home last night.
00:44:24Just make sure she's okay.
00:44:28Right, I'll bring her back ASAP.
00:44:30No, don't do that.
00:44:32Just make sure she's safe.
00:44:36Thanks.
00:44:37How have you been?
00:44:43Have you found the designer yet?
00:44:46Not yet.
00:44:48You better hurry up.
00:44:50Only three days left.
00:44:51Now remember, the designer you found must present the best draft.
00:44:56That was the bet.
00:44:57Oh, you'll definitely be impressed, Grandpa.
00:45:01Sir, Miss Tracy's back in town.
00:45:09She'd like to have dinner with you.
00:45:11Miss Tracy said she can help you.
00:45:13What do you want from me this time?
00:45:30I need your best work.
00:45:32Give us Azura Nebula.
00:45:33I've done everything you've asked me to do.
00:45:36Azura Nebula was completed before the contract was signed.
00:45:39I need your approval to use it.
00:45:41Is this another one of your petty squabbles for the inheritance?
00:45:45I won't do it.
00:45:46I will not be a pawn for you.
00:45:48Then your brother is worm food.
00:45:50I will get you for this.
00:46:00Bring the designs to swap for your brother tomorrow.
00:46:07There's less than three days left.
00:46:10Sir, you gotta do something.
00:46:13How's Serena doing?
00:46:15Well, she got pretty drunk and went to meet up with Bella.
00:46:19Sir, you need to worry about yourself first.
00:46:21By now, they might have squeezed a better design out of her,
00:46:23so we need to do something.
00:46:25Well, if we can't find somebody, then I'm going to have to do it myself.
00:46:31What, you don't believe me?
00:46:32No, I'm just worried about the time.
00:46:35Their trump card must be Azura Nebula.
00:46:37I don't know if we can beat that.
00:46:41Yeah, come in.
00:46:43Are you busy?
00:46:56No, of course not, Serena.
00:46:57Yeah, yeah, please.
00:47:00I have something to...
00:47:01I have something to...
00:47:02Tell you.
00:47:03You go first.
00:47:05Okay.
00:47:05I came here to tell you that I had no idea it would affect your inheritance.
00:47:10I'm so sorry, but I don't have another choice.
00:47:13Don't sweat it.
00:47:14It's not over until the fat lady sings anyway, right?
00:47:17You might need to find a new designer.
00:47:21Don't worry about it.
00:47:23Here.
00:47:24Thanks.
00:47:26Also, um...
00:47:27Look, I wanted to tell you, I'm not helping you because you're a part of some sort of scheme
00:47:34to get my father's inheritance or anything like that.
00:47:37When I saw your designs, I was truly inspired.
00:47:40I thought you'd be a better designer than Aura.
00:47:42That's why I signed you.
00:47:44You didn't know I was Aura?
00:47:46I didn't.
00:47:47No.
00:47:48I was wondering if she would show up.
00:47:50I just had no clue that...
00:47:51She would be you.
00:47:53Also, one more thing.
00:47:57I'm so sorry about all of this drama with the media people.
00:48:00I wasn't trying to pressure you into signing with me.
00:48:04It's...
00:48:04Some elite information.
00:48:08Listen.
00:48:10I'm sorry that it has come to this.
00:48:12No, look.
00:48:13It's okay.
00:48:13You don't need to apologize.
00:48:15I respect your decisions.
00:48:16I just wish I could have explained myself a little bit soon.
00:48:21Sorry.
00:48:21It's okay.
00:48:23Yeah.
00:48:27You found Leon?
00:48:35You found Leon?
00:48:39Yeah.
00:48:39Yeah, okay.
00:48:40I'll call you back.
00:48:42Bruce just got Bella's video that she sent.
00:48:45He traced it to somewhere in the North District.
00:48:47They might be able to find Leon soon.
00:48:49Then I can go see my brother?
00:48:50Yes.
00:48:51Hey.
00:48:52Hey.
00:48:53Why are you helping me so much?
00:48:56Serena, what kind of a question is that?
00:48:58You are my wife.
00:48:59I will protect you.
00:49:01Always.
00:49:01I'm sorry, Vincent.
00:49:03I really thought I...
00:49:05Stop apologizing.
00:49:06I didn't explain myself well.
00:49:09As well.
00:49:09What should we do?
00:49:13Well, um...
00:49:15I do have a plan B.
00:49:17Do you need my...
00:49:18And what plan is that?
00:49:20Oh, Tracy, don't you ever knock?
00:49:23I'll be lucky I didn't come through the window.
00:49:24Okay, okay, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, what are you doing here?
00:49:30Oh, don't you remember?
00:49:31I'm plan B.
00:49:32Just...
00:49:33Wait outside.
00:49:40No, no, Serena, it's not what it looks like.
00:49:42It's not...
00:49:42No.
00:49:43Okay, Tracy, can you please let go of me?
00:49:46Who is the woman?
00:49:48What are you playing dumb?
00:49:49That's your sister-in-law.
00:49:50You said you would marry me!
00:49:53Oh, how could you?
00:49:55Okay, what do you want this time?
00:49:58Did you see how jealous she looked?
00:50:00Yeah.
00:50:01Oh, she looked like she wanted to curse me with a voodoo doll.
00:50:03You guys need to cut this sad love story thing and just kiss already.
00:50:08You guys are practically, I mean, heck you're literally already married.
00:50:11Yeah, please get to the point.
00:50:14Ten million and these are yours.
00:50:20I thought I got the friends and family discount.
00:50:24That is the friends and family discount.
00:50:28These are pretty good.
00:50:30Pretty good?
00:50:32I will have you know I am one of, if not the best in the business.
00:50:36Am I on that list?
00:50:38You still draw?
00:50:41Is that a yes?
00:50:43I'll consider it.
00:50:45Okay, take your time.
00:50:47I'm gonna go talk to your new wife.
00:50:49Maybe I'll tell her your bed wedding story.
00:50:51But no, please, please don't do that.
00:50:52Don't.
00:50:53Oh, no promises.
00:50:54We'll go, no...
00:50:55I'll pretend to know her.
00:50:56Oh, no.
00:50:57I don't know what we want to do.
00:50:59I'm gonna do it again.
00:51:00I don't know what we're talking about.
00:51:01You know, I'm gonna make the new rooms.
00:51:02I'll be in the room.
00:51:03I don't know what we're talking about.
00:51:04I'm gonna do the room.
00:51:05I'm gonna get the new room.
00:51:06I never thought that one day I might be able to give this to you.
00:51:27I always thought, would you like it?
00:51:31Who was that woman who just waltzed into the chairman's office?
00:51:37Could she be a suitor? Or maybe a lover?
00:51:41Well, she did barge in without being scolded.
00:51:44Maybe she's his someone.
00:51:46She was wearing all designer bling, too.
00:51:49Clearly some rich girl.
00:51:50Also, she was carrying a sketchbook.
00:51:54Aura, the great designer, are you pretending you aren't curious?
00:51:57What should I be curious about?
00:51:59She wasn't carrying a design sketch, was she?
00:52:03She's coming over.
00:52:09Your aura?
00:52:12Huh.
00:52:13Your designs are pretty good.
00:52:15Hey, you're a designer, too.
00:52:17Can we see some of your sketches?
00:52:20Google Tracy Winston.
00:52:26Oh, my gosh.
00:52:27So she's their aura, huh?
00:52:30Not bad.
00:52:32Look at this.
00:52:33Not bad at all.
00:52:34She's the heiress to the Winston legacy.
00:52:37Jealous?
00:52:38I would be.
00:52:39I don't even think the great aura can compare to that.
00:52:42But how did he know my dream is to be the best designer?
00:52:58No, I already cost him so much.
00:53:00I can't presume I am his anything.
00:53:03Who is Tracy Winston?
00:53:05Seems like they have a close relationship.
00:53:07The sand is running out in your brother's hourglass.
00:53:14I've told you, I won't do it.
00:53:16Kitty getting her claws out.
00:53:18Well, I can scratch it, too.
00:53:21Leon?
00:53:23Stop!
00:53:23What has she gotten herself into?
00:53:29It's funny, isn't it?
00:53:31Even the most useless family member can be the move that checkmates.
00:53:35Tell me where Leon is, and I'll give you the design draft.
00:53:38Ten o'clock.
00:53:39Come to the warehouse.
00:53:40And don't be late.
00:53:42I'm not selling any sand for your brother's hourglass.
00:53:45I'll send you the coordinates.
00:53:47The South warehouse?
00:53:49Call the cops, and I'll make sure his funeral is a closed casket one-two.
00:53:54Call the cops, and I'll make sure your brother's funeral is a closed casket.
00:54:17I don't like this.
00:54:19We're looking desperate.
00:54:21We're not the ones that are desperate.
00:54:23She is.
00:54:24And you didn't tell anyone where we kept her, right?
00:54:30I didn't.
00:54:33I didn't.
00:54:34I swear.
00:54:36What would I gain from telling her?
00:54:44Well, if it wasn't you, then it could only be him.
00:54:47A few people were found in the North warehouse.
00:54:49Maybe G-13.
00:54:50If you could be hiring them to find the boy, this could ruin me.
00:54:55Did he find us?
00:54:57What if he comes for us?
00:55:00Don't worry about us.
00:55:02That woman is my bargaining chip.
00:55:04I can't believe he cares so much about her.
00:55:08I can't believe he cares so much about her.
00:55:09Then their weakness for each other will be their downfall.
00:55:13Would I be your weakness, then?
00:55:14should I tell Vincent?
00:55:28Should I tell Vincent?
00:55:31Hey, is um, is Tracy still with Serena?
00:56:01Uh, seems they left the office already.
00:56:06Serena should be home by now.
00:56:10No, no, something's wrong.
00:56:12Hey, just look after the business while I go look for her, okay?
00:56:15Yeah.
00:56:16You're the best, thank you.
00:56:19Serena!
00:56:20Serena!
00:56:22Hey!
00:56:23Yeah, hey, hey, Bruce, um, Serena is in here, she took all of her stuff.
00:56:30We need all hands on deck for this, okay?
00:56:40I think you've died.
00:56:42Here, here, here!
00:56:47Hello?
00:56:48Vincent?
00:56:49You're not gonna like this.
00:56:53Serena is in trouble.
00:56:54Tracy?
00:56:55What?
00:56:56Where are you now?
00:56:58I don't know, I just, I saw her go into this warehouse.
00:56:59These guys took her and just hurry.
00:57:03Just hurry.
00:57:04What?
00:57:05What?
00:57:06All alone?
00:57:07Where's your shining white knight husband?
00:57:08I don't know.
00:57:09I don't know, I just, I saw her go into this warehouse.
00:57:10These guys took her and just hurry.
00:57:13What?
00:57:14What?
00:57:15All alone?
00:57:16Where's your shining white knight husband now?
00:57:18I could say the same for you.
00:57:19Don't get cute with me.
00:57:20Where are the designs?
00:57:21I'm not giving you anything until I see my brother.
00:57:22What?
00:57:23What?
00:57:24What?
00:57:25What are the designs?
00:57:26I'm not giving you anything until I see my brother.
00:57:28What?
00:57:29What?
00:57:30What?
00:57:31What?
00:57:32What is this?
00:57:33Where are the designs?
00:57:34Fool me twice.
00:57:35Shame on me, right?
00:57:36I won't be fooled the same way again.
00:57:37Let my brother go first and then I'll tell you where the design is.
00:57:39Ah!
00:57:40Ah!
00:57:41Ah!
00:57:42Ah!
00:57:43Ah!
00:57:44Ah!
00:57:45Ah!
00:57:46Ah!
00:57:47Ah!
00:57:48Ah!
00:57:49Ah!
00:57:50Ah!
00:57:51Ah!
00:57:52Ah!
00:57:53Ah!
00:57:54Ah!
00:57:55Ah!
00:57:57Ah!
00:57:58Ah!
00:57:59Ah!
00:58:00Ah!
00:58:01Ah!
00:58:02Ah!
00:58:03Ah!
00:58:04Let me go see my brother!
00:58:05I know he isn't here!
00:58:06I know- I know you wouldn't tell me the correct location!
00:58:08Who told you?
00:58:09Vincent Owens?
00:58:13Start talking, or I will take these little designer fingers away!
00:58:28Tell me what I want to know!
00:58:30Not until you let my brother go!
00:58:32You'd have gave Vincent the designs, didn't you?
00:58:36Smart move.
00:58:38Holding your designs ransom for your brother and your rescue?
00:58:42I wouldn't understand.
00:58:44Then why?
00:58:45Oh, for love.
00:58:48Don't make me laugh.
00:58:49And aren't you doing this for your precious Reginald?
00:58:53It is not the same.
00:58:56In this game, winner takes all.
00:58:58You think if the roles were reversed,
00:59:00it wouldn't be me in this chair tied up and Vincent holding a knife?
00:59:04Vincent is Vincent.
00:59:05He isn't like you, and you aren't like me.
00:59:06You fight for nothing but yourself.
00:59:10You think you are so special.
00:59:14As soon as you age,
00:59:16I'll trade up.
00:59:18There will always be another pretty face
00:59:21with big puppy dog eyes calling for him to save her.
00:59:26Compared to his inheritance, his wealth, his power?
00:59:28You're nothing.
00:59:32And what about you, huh?
00:59:34Where is your precious Reginald now?
00:59:37You think he's gonna keep you because you're so useful?
00:59:41He has hung you out to dry.
00:59:43If he did care, he would be here.
00:59:45You deal with that woman first.
00:59:48I have business to take care of.
00:59:50But what if Serena refuses to give us the designs?
00:59:54Me?
00:59:55You mean if she refuses to give me the designs?
00:59:58Well, if that's the case,
00:59:59make yourself useful and make her talk.
01:00:01What if she really gets hurt?
01:00:02I can use the designs as leverage.
01:00:14Wake up!
01:00:15He's gonna drop you after the meeting.
01:00:17You'll be just like me.
01:00:19Stop!
01:00:19You can stop this!
01:00:20You still have time!
01:00:22Honey!
01:00:23What's going on?
01:00:24She gave me blank designs.
01:00:36I did what you asked.
01:00:38What are you doing?
01:00:40I told you to talk to her properly.
01:00:43I apologize if my Bella seems a little overzealous.
01:00:48She tends to be passionate when it comes to me.
01:00:51You know what I mean?
01:00:52Perhaps you've gone from the wrong foot.
01:00:55My interest is you.
01:00:56It's only in the Owens family.
01:00:59I can let your brother go first.
01:01:03What's the catch?
01:01:04No catch.
01:01:06Just an earnest attempt to bend fences.
01:01:10Then take me to see Leon.
01:01:12Leon?
01:01:21Leon?
01:01:25Where are you now?
01:01:30I don't know.
01:01:30They should let me out.
01:01:31I'm getting a mover.
01:01:34Go to 168 Queens Boulevard and find Vincent Owens.
01:01:38You see?
01:01:40I held my word.
01:01:40Put the design under blacklight.
01:01:46You'll be able to see it.
01:01:53Clever.
01:01:55Serena!
01:01:55Serena!
01:01:56Hey!
01:01:57Serena!
01:01:57What the hell?
01:01:58That's it!
01:02:06That's it!
01:02:08About time you showed up.
01:02:09Serena, are you okay?
01:02:11Okay, both of you get in touch with our people.
01:02:13Tell them to come to the South Warehouse.
01:02:15Yes, sir.
01:02:16Everyone to South Warehouse stat.
01:02:18Hello?
01:02:19Boss, we found the boy in the North Warehouse.
01:02:22Is he safe?
01:02:23We got an Uber that's driven by Reginald's men.
01:02:26The stupid boy actually jumped out halfway through.
01:02:28We took care of him.
01:02:29He came with us to the hospital after we dropped him.
01:02:30Okay, fine.
01:02:31Just take care of him and tell everybody to come to the South Warehouse when you're done.
01:02:35Sir, that's Tracy's car.
01:02:38Okay, fine.
01:02:39Go find her.
01:02:39Go, go, go.
01:02:42Vincent, what are you doing here?
01:02:44It's dangerous.
01:02:45I can't want to talk.
01:02:46I mean, you came here alone.
01:02:47I don't want to be a burden anymore.
01:02:50Let's cut the lovey-dovey crap before I puke.
01:02:53Please.
01:02:54Reginald.
01:02:56What?
01:02:56I didn't do anything.
01:02:58Tell me.
01:03:00What do you want?
01:03:02I want my inheritance.
01:03:03I want what's rightfully mine.
01:03:06A million you would be a bonus, too.
01:03:07Don't, don't listen to him.
01:03:16Two more people left.
01:03:17Find them.
01:03:19See?
01:03:20They're all the same.
01:03:22He's hesitating.
01:03:24Gratitude only goes so far until the next skink walks by.
01:03:28Serena, I care about you very much.
01:03:32And here comes the part.
01:03:35It's okay, Vincent.
01:03:36You've risked everything to save me.
01:03:39Ugh, I grow bored of this.
01:03:41How about we up the stakes?
01:03:42The woman or the inheritance?
01:03:45Decide.
01:03:46Now.
01:03:54Is this your trump card?
01:03:56Hey, I couldn't decide which one you like more, so why not both?
01:04:00If you didn't bring this woman all the way around the world for you, we wouldn't be here.
01:04:04If you think about it, it's really your fault.
01:04:06This is what you were doing all this time.
01:04:08Come on.
01:04:09It's two for the price of one.
01:04:12Limited time only.
01:04:13Fine.
01:04:14Fine.
01:04:16You win.
01:04:18Let Tracy go.
01:04:20Vincent, whatever choice you make, I'm with you.
01:04:24Ugh.
01:04:25Fawn for a woman.
01:04:26What weakness.
01:04:27See, that's where you and I differ.
01:04:28There's nothing I want to do in this world for that inheritance, and that's why I won.
01:04:34In fact, I can't wait to tell Grandpa who's in the ICU right now.
01:04:39I trust in his dosage.
01:04:41It's always in such pain, you know, I can't bear to lose myself.
01:04:44What are you, insane?
01:04:45You're killing your own family?
01:04:47Family?
01:04:48What do you know of family, orphan boy?
01:04:50I've sacrificed everything for this family.
01:04:52Reginald, you need to stop this madness before it's too late, okay?
01:04:55Oh, brother.
01:04:58This isn't madness.
01:05:00This is what winning looks like.
01:05:04And you, you're just someone who can't protect his mother.
01:05:07He can't protect his wife.
01:05:08He can't protect his mistress.
01:05:11What a joke.
01:05:12Fine.
01:05:15I promise you.
01:05:23I promise you.
01:05:25I didn't kiss him.
01:05:27Say it again.
01:05:28I said, I promise you.
01:05:36The Owens family is ours.
01:05:37You mean the Owens family is mine?
01:05:40Sir, everything's taken care of.
01:05:43Everything is mine.
01:05:45You're just like your mother.
01:05:47Never enough balls to crack some eggs to make an omelet.
01:05:50Who do you think you are?
01:05:53No.
01:05:55No.
01:05:55Kneel.
01:05:56Kneel before me and I might let you live.
01:06:02Still, a woman poisons your mind.
01:06:05You disappoint me, brother.
01:06:08Let them go.
01:06:12Still playing the hero, are we?
01:06:15Guards!
01:06:16Today's your last day!
01:06:24James?
01:06:26Adam?
01:06:27What's going on?
01:06:29We found everyone.
01:06:31And we found Miss Tracy, too.
01:06:32The police are outside.
01:06:33Good work.
01:06:34Nice.
01:06:36You think you got me?
01:06:37I still have an ace up my sleeve.
01:06:39Anything happens to me,
01:06:41then Grandpa gets it.
01:06:42You think Grandpa wouldn't see through your petty tricks?
01:06:45You think he can get the design in our time?
01:06:47Yeah, yeah.
01:06:47I'm working on it.
01:06:48But also, I wanted to tell you something.
01:06:52I mean, um...
01:06:54Aura is my wife.
01:07:02Your brother signed a contract with your wife.
01:07:06Well, that's interesting.
01:07:07Well, no, no, no.
01:07:08It's not that kind of interesting, Grandpa.
01:07:11Look, I think he might try to hurt her because of me.
01:07:16I mean, just keep an eye out.
01:07:20I, uh...
01:07:22I think he's going to try to do something.
01:07:23Impossible!
01:07:24There's no way you could have seen through my plan.
01:07:26I was always his favorite.
01:07:27And her...
01:07:28Her brother is still in my hands.
01:07:30It's not over yet.
01:07:31You've got no cards left to play, Reggie.
01:07:33What did you say?
01:07:35Leon is safe, isn't he?
01:07:36He's safe.
01:07:37He's okay.
01:07:38He's in the hospital, and it's nothing serious.
01:07:40Impossible.
01:07:41Impossible!
01:07:43Oh!
01:07:44What did I play that game scum for?
01:07:46Well, I'm surrounded by idiots!
01:07:48And you, who do you think you are?
01:08:06You...
01:08:06You paid off the H game?
01:08:08You never trust a man who can be bought.
01:08:10I mean, don't you remember Grandpa's teachings?
01:08:13Boss, let's take you care of.
01:08:14Someone betrayed us.
01:08:16One of my men took money from them.
01:08:18It's not my fault!
01:08:19What?
01:08:20This is me, Chris.
01:08:22This is not possible.
01:08:24This, I...
01:08:24I refuse!
01:08:26Ah!
01:08:27Hey, wait down!
01:08:28Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:08:29Hey, hey!
01:08:30Hey!
01:08:30Hey!
01:08:30Oh!
01:08:33Get away, you!
01:08:35This is your fault, not mine!
01:08:36You did this!
01:08:37You!
01:08:38Reggie, you're a quick...
01:08:39Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
01:08:40No!
01:08:41Hey!
01:08:41Go take drinks!
01:08:42I'm okay!
01:08:43No, you're not.
01:08:44Serena, come here!
01:08:44Come here!
01:08:45All right.
01:08:46Okay.
01:08:47Okay.
01:08:47Leon?
01:08:49You're awake.
01:08:49Are you awake?
01:09:02No, you're awake.
01:09:04Leon?
01:09:15You're awake.
01:09:16Are you hurt?
01:09:18No, no, I'm fine.
01:09:20I'm sorry.
01:09:22It's my fault. I didn't take care of you.
01:09:24No, it's not. It's not your fault.
01:09:26I'm just so glad that you're safe.
01:09:29So this husband of yours doesn't need a brotherly talk?
01:09:34No, stop it, Leon.
01:09:37I might be important, but I'm not that important.
01:09:42Come in.
01:09:48Mr. Owens.
01:09:49Oh, no, no, no, no.
01:09:51No, get up.
01:09:52Please, sit down.
01:09:54Oh, thank you.
01:09:58Look, I'm just here to apologize for my family and my grandson.
01:10:03I am just so very sorry you had to go through all this.
01:10:08Reginald has been arrested.
01:10:10It's time he's learned his lesson.
01:10:13And Vincent has told me everything.
01:10:16He's much like his mother.
01:10:20Kind, pure of heart, thinking of others.
01:10:24His father concentrated on business.
01:10:28He didn't pay much attention at home.
01:10:30If he had, maybe we wouldn't all be in so much trouble.
01:10:35That's why he grew up in the orphanage.
01:10:41Hey.
01:10:43Grandpa.
01:10:44Vincent.
01:10:44You're here.
01:10:45I am.
01:10:46Hi.
01:10:47I'm really sorry for signing with them.
01:10:58I should have known better.
01:10:59It's okay.
01:11:00Don't apologize.
01:11:01You did nothing wrong.
01:11:03I should be apologizing.
01:11:04I mean, I put what I thought was important over everything.
01:11:09I mean, over you.
01:11:10And it caught you in danger.
01:11:13I just wish I could have explained everything to you a little bit sooner so that we could
01:11:17have avoided a lot of this.
01:11:20By the way, Mr. Owens told me that Reginald is in jail.
01:11:24Do you know if Bella's there too?
01:11:27Unfortunately, yes.
01:11:28That rat Reginald blames Bella for everything and she might be in trouble.
01:11:35Serena, look, I was so consumed by vengeance for a time that all I could think about was
01:11:41avenging my mother, taking back the family.
01:11:46When I found out that you were in danger, nothing else mattered anymore.
01:11:51All I could think about was you.
01:11:53I know what you mean.
01:11:57When I was at the warehouse yesterday, I thought about trading my life for my brothers.
01:12:06I'm with you.
01:12:11You mentioned that Tracy called?
01:12:14Yeah, she saw you having coffee and followed you, called us.
01:12:20She's a big girl.
01:12:21I wouldn't worry about her.
01:12:22She's tougher than she looks and she'll be fine.
01:12:24Well, aren't you going to go see her?
01:12:28She's got family there.
01:12:29What am I going to do?
01:12:31Oh, okay.
01:12:35We kind of grew up together.
01:12:36She's like an annoying little sister to me.
01:12:39She wasn't my plan B, if that's what you were thinking.
01:12:44So what was your plan B?
01:12:46You want to see it?
01:12:52Do you like it?
01:12:57It's a gift for you.
01:13:00It's not quite there yet.
01:13:03We're still improving on the design.
01:13:05Do you know who designed this?
01:13:07Right in front of you.
01:13:08Yeah, I know.
01:13:10I'm not just a pretty face that you know.
01:13:13I've had the idea drawn up for a long time, but you were the primary inspiration.
01:13:20Because without you, no jewelry would ever shine.
01:13:25And I want to do this one together.
01:13:29Because now that you're here, by my side,
01:13:33my world is complete.
01:13:39Consent.
01:13:39Wait, try this one.
01:13:56Perfect.
01:13:58It's good?
01:13:59Yeah.
01:13:59All right.
01:13:59It's great.
01:14:00It's good.
01:14:01And then at the top, you need to probably work on that.
01:14:07It's good.
01:14:07It's good.
01:14:08It's all there.
01:14:14It's fantastic there.
01:14:16There it is.
01:14:21Let's give it a name.
01:14:23Okay.
01:14:26Eternal love.
01:14:28You know, um, the past 10 years,
01:14:34I've waited and have dreamt of this moment.
01:14:40Every single day.
01:14:41Me?
01:14:55It's you?
01:14:57I kept you waiting.
01:14:59No.
01:15:00No.
01:15:00No.
01:15:02Here.
01:15:06Oh, sorry.
01:15:08Let it be a safe place.
01:15:11Because we do have a bit of a replacement for you.
01:15:13Okay.
01:15:14All right.
01:15:14Here.
01:15:15Here.
01:15:19Here we go.
01:15:20I finally found you.
01:15:34Grandpa.
01:15:36Vincent!
01:15:37Serena!
01:15:37Oh, you guys are okay!
01:15:39Oh my gosh, I was so worried.
01:15:40Maybe there was Tracy Skye and then we're okay.
01:15:42We're okay, we're okay, really.
01:15:44Tracy.
01:15:46Tracy, take a breath.
01:15:47You're doing that chipmunk squeal again.
01:15:53In front of Grandfather.
01:15:55Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:15:55Get it out of here.
01:15:56That's it.
01:15:57This is the necklace that we designed.
01:16:04Oh, eternal love.
01:16:11I like it very much.
01:16:14Well, looks like you two have won the bet.
01:16:19Well, since that business is out of the way, there is one more thing.
01:16:22When am I going to seek some grandkids?
01:16:25I'm not going to live forever, right?
01:16:26Not yet, Grandpa.
01:16:27Not yet.
01:16:28There's one thing that I want to do first.
01:16:31I would like to give Serena here a proper wedding.
01:16:37Thank you for being in my life.
01:17:04For it is now brighter than ever before.
01:17:09Thank you for everything.
01:17:13My home is now wherever you are.
01:17:29Why are you two here?
01:17:31Is that how you greet your mother?
01:17:33I don't have time for this.
01:17:34I will call the police if I have to.
01:17:36You have to help Bella.
01:17:38You can't just leave her in there to die.
01:17:40What kind of mother wishes death upon her own flesh and blood?
01:17:44You don't know.
01:17:46Police told us that Bella tried to commit suicide.
01:17:49That bastard Rector and Owens.
01:17:52He blamed everything on her.
01:17:53Even took her money.
01:17:55Just look at us.
01:17:55He can't live like this.
01:17:56That money wasn't yours to spend in the first place.
01:18:00I'm...
01:18:01Please.
01:18:04I'm...
01:18:05Bella.
01:18:07You know she doesn't have many friends.
01:18:09She needs your help.
01:18:11All right.
01:18:12We'll go and see her.
01:18:14Go.
01:18:15That's my girl.
01:18:16Get out of here.
01:18:17Let me guess.
01:18:43Mom cried her crocodile tears.
01:18:46She cares about you.
01:18:48You know that.
01:18:49If you had said dad, I would have believed you.
01:18:52That harlot only cares about money.
01:18:54So are you just gonna sit there and take this?
01:18:57That's not the Bella that I know.
01:18:59The Bella that I know doesn't roll over for anyone.
01:19:02Not any woman.
01:19:03And certainly not a man.
01:19:05You think I don't...
01:19:06Nice try.
01:19:11I lost.
01:19:13Remember?
01:19:14But I won't be anyone's pawn again.
01:19:17I clawed my way across the board to become queen.
01:19:19But I was thrown away like a pawn anyway.
01:19:22Reginald has taken everything from you.
01:19:25Are you gonna let him win?
01:19:27Are you gonna let him take your life too?
01:19:30No, you're right.
01:19:31If I don't fight back, I'll just be another piece of trash he used and dumped.
01:19:52I hate to admit it, but I'm...
01:19:57I kind of liked seeing you again.
