00:00:00Answer me. Are you his mistress?
00:00:03Mom!
00:00:05Now where is my future daughter-in-law? I can't wait to meet her.
00:00:08Meet her soon enough.
00:00:09I have some gifts. I hope they'll be up to her taste.
00:00:12Mom, your taste is timeless.
00:00:16If I find that bitch, I am going to kill her.
00:00:21Noah, I deserve an explanation and I'm getting it today.
00:00:25How dare you sleep with my fiancée on our wedding day?
00:00:30I'm Noah's mother, your mother-in-law.
00:00:33Everyone, meet Noah Harper's mistress.
00:00:36Why does she get to have this?
00:00:37I'm the one marrying Noah. I'm supposed to have it all.
00:00:41Stone, you've crossed the line for the last time.
00:00:43You won't as long as soon.
00:00:45Your engagement is over.
00:00:46Where did you get this from?
00:00:47From your mistress.
00:00:49Do you think your precious Noah Harper is going to save you?
00:00:52Who did this? Who hurt my mother?
00:00:55What? His mother? My mother-in-law?
00:01:00No.
00:01:14Answer me.
00:01:16Were you his mistress?
00:01:20On my son's engagement day,
00:01:22his fiancée mistook me for a mistress and humiliated me
00:01:25in every possible way.
00:01:31I'm sorry.
00:01:53I'm surprised.
00:01:56I didn't think you'd make it.
00:01:57I've been abroad for two years
00:01:59and suddenly you're engaged.
00:02:00I'm not missing your wedding.
00:02:02Now, where's my future daughter-in-law?
00:02:04I can't wait to meet her.
00:02:05Oh, she's just upstairs getting ready, but here.
00:02:07Come on, we'll meet her soon enough.
00:02:09I have some gifts. I hope they'll be up to her taste.
00:02:11Mom, your taste is timeless.
00:02:13Flattery will get you everywhere.
00:02:15I've missed you so much.
00:02:17I've missed you too.
00:02:19I dream come true.
00:02:22Don't I look gorgeous?
00:02:23So gorgeous.
00:02:24Beautiful. You're stunning.
00:02:25I know.
00:02:27Mia, I think you're going to want to see this.
00:02:31Unbelievable!
00:02:34It's our wedding day and he's flaunting some woman
00:02:36like she's the one in this dress?
00:02:40I can't believe it.
00:02:41I can't believe it.
00:02:42I can't believe it.
00:02:43I can't believe it.
00:02:44I can't believe it.
00:02:45I can't believe it.
00:02:46He's in this dress?
00:02:55Hey, uh...
00:02:58Uh...
00:03:01Mia, what are you talking about?
00:03:07Mia, what are you talking about?
00:03:09Don't even try to deny it, Noah.
00:03:11Your photos are all over the tabloids.
00:03:13You promise?
00:03:14Denying what?
00:03:16It's our wedding day and you're out there making a fool of me!
00:03:19You better give me an explanation now!
00:03:23Listen, Mia, I don't know what you're talking about,
00:03:25so maybe stop believing every piece of trash you see online.
00:03:30Noah?
00:03:34If I find that bitch, I am going to kill her.
00:03:38Mia?
00:03:39Just let it go.
00:03:40You know how it is.
00:03:41All wealthy guys have someone on the side.
00:03:44I've busted my ass to walk down my place in the Harper family.
00:03:48No way I'm letting some nobody steal Noah.
00:03:52Give me that.
00:03:56Noah, what's wrong?
00:03:57I'm just...
00:03:58Fight with Mia?
00:03:59Get out.
00:04:00Get out.
00:04:01Get out.
00:04:02Get out.
00:04:03Get out.
00:04:04Get out.
00:04:05Get out.
00:04:06Get out.
00:04:07She saw something online and sort of lost it,
00:04:10but maybe that was not the best time to meet her,
00:04:12but let's get you inside, get you rested up,
00:04:16and get a big day.
00:04:21Miss Victoria, you're actually marrying the homeless guy from New York.
00:04:26Oh, sweetheart.
00:04:28This is just beautiful.
00:04:29It's not too bad for a couple of melons.
00:04:32Let's get you upstairs.
00:04:36Oh, my God.
00:04:37That's the woman from the tabloids.
00:04:39Noah's mistress.
00:04:43And?
00:04:44Shall we?
00:04:56Shameless slut.
00:04:57Who does she think she is, cozying up to my fiancé?
00:05:01Girls, let's go.
00:05:04We're putting this so-called mistress in her place.
00:05:12I'm going to go smooth things out with Mia.
00:05:14Just stay up here, relax for a little bit,
00:05:17and just come downstairs and I'll finally introduce you two.
00:05:20You go take care of business.
00:05:22Thanks.
00:05:23Mm-hmm.
00:05:32I hope Mia sees the love behind this pearl bracelet.
00:05:35It's been in our family for generations.
00:05:38And this estate, the first thing Noah ever designed.
00:05:41He was so proud of it.
00:05:54Ah, look at him all smug.
00:05:57I guess she knows how to keep him happy in bed.
00:06:00This bitch thinks she's going to steal Noah from me,
00:06:03or from my dead body.
00:06:14Back so soon?
00:06:17You slut!
00:06:19How dare you sleep with my fiancé on our wedding day?
00:06:23You think I'm going to let you humiliate me?
00:06:26Me, the future Mrs. Harper?
00:06:34Hold her down.
00:06:35What is this all about?
00:06:37Where do you people think you're going with me?
00:06:40How dare you seduce my fiancé?
00:06:44Do you know who I am?
00:06:45I am the future Mrs. Harper.
00:06:48You're messing with the wrong woman.
00:06:54Wait.
00:06:55Mia?
00:06:57No, Mia?
00:06:58You know who I am?
00:07:01You know who I am and you still dare to go after my man?
00:07:04My daughter-in-law thinks I'm Noah's mistress?
00:07:07Mia, you've got it all wrong.
00:07:09Wrong?
00:07:10So Noah told you my name?
00:07:12Oh, you must feel so special.
00:07:14Please listen.
00:07:16No, no, no, no, no.
00:07:17You knew damn well he was my fiancé.
00:07:20Can you still wind ahead with this?
00:07:22You're disgusting.
00:07:29She thought that she could talk her way out of this.
00:07:32Pathetic.
00:07:33Messing with Noah Harper's fiancé?
00:07:35She's lucky this is all she's getting.
00:07:37Please, let me just call him.
00:07:38We'll get this all situated.
00:07:40Just listen to me.
00:07:42Texting Noah to save you?
00:07:45You're intentionally flaunting with him in public.
00:07:49Getting your picture taken by the media.
00:07:51Pictures?
00:07:52This is all because of those misleading tabloids.
00:07:54Stop acting innocent.
00:07:56You think Noah's just going to come running to save you?
00:07:59Well, too bad he's busy preparing for our wedding.
00:08:02Please listen.
00:08:04Strip her.
00:08:07I want to see if she still has one single ounce of dignity left in her.
00:08:19Get her!
00:08:26Let's wash the filth off you, shall we?
00:08:35You're all clean.
00:08:38You're all clean.
00:08:48Mia, you got it all wrong.
00:08:50I'm Noah's mother, your mother-in-law.
00:08:57What? His mother?
00:08:59My mother-in-law?
00:09:04You?
00:09:06My mother-in-law?
00:09:07Don't make me laugh.
00:09:12Mia, what if we're wrong?
00:09:14I mean, should we double check? I mean, what if she really is?
00:09:16Seriously?
00:09:18My fiancé would tell me if his own mother was coming to my wedding.
00:09:21He tells me everything.
00:09:23You're full of shit.
00:09:24She's lying through her teeth.
00:09:26Let's make her pay for messing with you.
00:09:29Hold her down.
00:09:30We're not done with you yet.
00:09:32Get off of me! Get off of me!
00:09:35Let's get this on camera.
00:09:38Here, Mia.
00:09:41Smile.
00:09:42Should I call you Mom?
00:09:47I'll make sure that everyone knows the truth.
00:09:50No one deserves to be Mrs. Harper except for me.
00:09:58Oh, hi. Honey, what's up?
00:10:02Hey, I've been looking all over for you. You finished getting ready?
00:10:05Anyways, head down to the banquet hall. We can finally meet Mom.
00:10:07She's surprised us by coming to the wedding.
00:10:09Oh, yes. I'm just wrapping something up here.
00:10:12I'll be there soon.
00:10:14Noah, son, please help me!
00:10:20Wait, that voice. Why does it sound so familiar?
00:10:25Did she just call him son?
00:10:27No way this bitch is Noah's mother.
00:10:31Anyways, just get down to wherever you can. She rarely visits.
00:10:35Don't worry. Your mom is going to love me.
00:10:41You hear that, bitch?
00:10:42My future mother-in-law, the chairwoman of Harper Corporation,
00:10:46one of the richest women in the world,
00:10:48has flown from abroad for my wedding with Noah.
00:10:52I wonder what she would do to a mistress like you.
00:10:56Take her to the banquet hall. I want my mother-in-law to deal with her.
00:11:01I want my mother-in-law to deal with her.
00:11:06You must be so proud, Mia, marrying into the Harper family.
00:11:10This is next-level success.
00:11:12The stones are about to hit the jackpot.
00:11:14The Harpers are not only rich, but they are powerful.
00:11:16Well, Mia is a smart and sensible girl.
00:11:19She's worked very hard for everything she's got.
00:11:21It's only natural. Mia is the perfect match for Noah Harper.
00:11:26There's none better.
00:11:31Do you really have to marry Noah Harper?
00:11:33What about our plans?
00:11:34Grow up!
00:11:35Once I marry Noah, I'll have everything I've ever wanted.
00:11:38Money, status, power.
00:11:45And you, you'll get your cut, but only if you stay quiet.
00:11:52I'll do what you ask.
00:11:54But don't forget what you promised me, Mia.
00:12:01Mia, you're here.
00:12:07What's going on?
00:12:16Everyone, meet Noah Harper's mistress.
00:12:20You shameless slut.
00:12:26How dare you!
00:12:28Did you think your little tricks would help you climb the social ladder?
00:12:34What's this?
00:12:37Mia, Lena, come and take a look at this.
00:12:42The Elysium is taking over the world.
00:12:45Mia, Lena, come and take a look at this.
00:12:49The Elysium estate?
00:12:52And the keys?
00:12:55That place has got to be worth 50 million, easy.
00:13:01Did Noah give you this?
00:13:03Is this where you've been hiding?
00:13:05No, it's not like that.
00:13:07As the first design, Noah did his dream project.
00:13:10I haven't taken anything from him.
00:13:12Honey, Noah's mentioned the estate to me before.
00:13:16But he said it didn't live up to his standards.
00:13:19He never took me there, and now it makes sense.
00:13:21He was hiding his dirty secret there.
00:13:24Don't let her take this away from you.
00:13:26If she's been living off Noah, she owes you.
00:13:29I don't want somebody else's leftovers.
00:13:31But you don't deserve to have this either.
00:13:34No, no, no.
00:13:37No, no, no.
00:13:38No.
00:13:41That property, that estate is not just some property.
00:13:46Let's see what else you're hiding.
00:13:53That's stunning.
00:13:54Must be worth a fortune.
00:13:56That's no ordinary pearl.
00:13:57This top-tier shape follows clarity.
00:14:01Something this expensive?
00:14:03Could she really be Noah's mother?
00:14:08If she's some random woman, then why would Noah give her something this valuable?
00:14:12He's never treated her like this.
00:14:14Why?
00:14:15Why does she get to have this?
00:14:17I'm the one marrying Noah.
00:14:18I'm supposed to have it all.
00:14:21If I can't have this, neither can you.
00:14:25No.
00:14:27You can't.
00:14:30No.
00:14:31No.
00:14:37That's the Harper family heirloom, that bracelet.
00:14:41You have no right to anything in the Harper family.
00:14:48Can you believe this?
00:14:49Noah gave that kind of bracelet to his mistress?
00:14:52No wonder Mia's losing it.
00:14:55Mia, I give countless chances.
00:14:59This...
00:15:00This is too much.
00:15:05This time, you've gone too far.
00:15:09I'll make you pay for this.
00:15:12You dare slap me on my special day?
00:15:16You're nothing but a pathetic mistress.
00:15:18You don't get to lecture me.
00:15:21Everyone take a look at this.
00:15:23This...
00:15:27This is what happens when you mess with me.
00:15:30I've never meddled in Noah's life before,
00:15:33but this is the woman he chose?
00:15:35Arrogant, unreasonable,
00:15:37flaunting her power to humiliate me in front of everyone.
00:15:40How could she fool Noah?
00:15:49Give it back.
00:15:50Oh, that's cute.
00:15:53Wait a second.
00:15:55Doesn't that guy look a little like Noah?
00:15:58Could she be Noah's mother?
00:16:03That's the only photo I have of my late husband.
00:16:06Please, Mia.
00:16:07Oh, you were married.
00:16:09God, that makes this even worse.
00:16:13Admit in front of everyone that you're a low-life mistress,
00:16:16and maybe, just maybe,
00:16:19I'll give it back to you.
00:16:21If you give it back,
00:16:22I will pretend like none of this ever happened.
00:16:24I guess you don't want it that badly.
00:16:26No, wait.
00:16:28Say it.
00:16:29Say that you're a low-life mistress.
00:16:33I'm a mistress.
00:16:34Louder!
00:16:35So everyone can hear you.
00:16:37I'm a low-life mistress.
00:16:39Louder!
00:16:40So everyone can hear you.
00:16:45I'm nothing but a low-life mistress.
00:16:53I did what you said.
00:16:55Please, give it back.
00:17:05That's the only photo I have of my husband.
00:17:09Please.
00:17:27Today's the day, sir.
00:17:28Are you nervous?
00:17:29Just wonder if Mia's my mom yet.
00:17:33That's the only photo I have of my husband.
00:17:36You should have caught it.
00:17:38It's not my fault you're so slow.
00:17:47You'll be a stone you've crossed the line for the last time.
00:17:53You hit me!
00:18:09Harper?
00:18:12She's not moving.
00:18:14Is she dead?
00:18:18She's dead. We're screwed.
00:18:19She's fine. Just drag her out of here before somebody important sees.
00:18:22The last thing we need is the Harper family backing out on us.
00:18:26Right? You okay? Yeah. Okay.
00:18:32Mr. Harper is here.
00:18:35What the hell is going on?
00:18:38I don't know.
00:18:55No Harper. He's like straight from the magazine.
00:18:58Rich, handsome, the whole package.
00:19:01Too bad he's stuck with Mia.
00:19:03She just climbed her way up with that horrid car accident stunt.
00:19:06Dumped Jonathan and snagged Noah overnight.
00:19:08Look, we all know that she doesn't deserve him, but keep your voice down.
00:19:11She's not someone you can mess with anymore.
00:19:13Go greet your husband.
00:19:15Why? Just so that he could pretend he's the perfect fiance in front of everyone?
00:19:20Noah, you made it.
00:19:22Mr. and Mrs. Stone. Mia, have you had a chance to meet my mom yet?
00:19:26Your mom never showed up. We've been waiting for hours.
00:19:29Is there something wrong here, Mia?
00:19:31Something wrong? Do you want me to spell it out?
00:19:34Don't act like you don't know what you did.
00:19:36I don't know what you're talking about.
00:19:38Listen, son. Mia's the pride and joy of our family.
00:19:42If you're cheating on her, it's just not disrespectful to her.
00:19:45You're showing us all disrespect.
00:19:47Mia is smart and beautiful, and she is totally devoted to you.
00:19:51Dear, if you have someone else, just end it now.
00:19:55Is this what you all really think of me?
00:19:58Oh, don't act clueless.
00:20:00Everyone here knows that you have someone else.
00:20:03Mia, I already told you, that's not true.
00:20:05There's only two women in my life. That's you, and that's my mom.
00:20:07My dad died, and she raised me on my own.
00:20:09After you saved me from that car wreck, why would I ever want to betray that?
00:20:12Don't drag your mom into this. And don't play the victim.
00:20:15You want proof? Fine.
00:20:18Your other woman, I caught her in the act.
00:20:21Wait, caught who? What proof?
00:20:24I don't know what you're talking about, but you must have the wrong person.
00:20:28Oh, the wrong person? You're still playing.
00:20:31Everyone here saw it.
00:20:33Look, son, just admit it. It's one of those mistakes all men make.
00:20:37Own up to it. Apologize and move on.
00:20:40No need to drag this out.
00:20:42Listen, sir, I'm trying to...
00:20:44Apologize to Mia? Save yourself a headache.
00:20:48Listen, I'm not going to apologize for something that I haven't even done.
00:20:51You told me I was the only woman you've ever loved.
00:20:55I'm such a fool.
00:20:58I'm such a fool.
00:21:00I shouldn't have saved you that day.
00:21:03Don't rewrite history, Mia.
00:21:05Now, if you have proof, show it.
00:21:07You want proof?
00:21:12Here. Here is that pearl bracelet you gave that whore.
00:21:17What pearl bracelet? I never even bought one of these before.
00:21:20Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:21:22That is not just some cheap trinket that you find at a mall kiosk.
00:21:25A bracelet like that is worth hundreds of thousands.
00:21:27You can't just exactly give that away by accident.
00:21:30This can't be right. A piece like this isn't just expensive.
00:21:33It's unique. The only one I've ever seen like it belonged to my mother.
00:21:37Where did you get this from?
00:21:39From your mistress!
00:21:42Our family is not wealthy like yours,
00:21:45but that doesn't give you the right to humiliate me like this.
00:21:48I've given you my heart, my loyalty, and this is how you repay me?
00:21:53Enough, Mia. Stop making a spectacle in front of everyone.
00:21:56You're making up lies. You're dragging us through the mud.
00:21:58Is this your endgame to just ruin the wedding?
00:22:09Don't even think about escaping.
00:22:13Shh. Shut up.
00:22:15You think your precious Noah Harper is going to save you?
00:22:17I want to go home.
00:22:20What is so special about that Harper that you two are both so eager to sleep?
00:22:31Maybe I should leave you something memorable.
00:22:35Let's see if Harper recognizes you after this.
00:22:44What was that?
00:22:46Oh, that, um, that was, that was just a clueless relative of ours
00:22:59that thought it would be fun to bring their dog.
00:23:02So we locked it in the back.
00:23:04Enough of this nonsense. Today is a very important day.
00:23:08Let's get this wedding back on track and put all this mistress business aside until later.
00:23:14Mia, don't ruin everything. Noah's going to leave.
00:23:17Noah, she just all worked up because she loves you so much.
00:23:22My mom should be here by now.
00:23:24Yeah? I can't wait for her to get here so she can clear up this mess for me.
00:23:29Really, Mia? You sound ridiculous.
00:23:31I don't care, Noah. I deserve an explanation and I'm getting it today.
00:23:38This? This blueprint? It's from the Elysium Estate.
00:23:43You gave this to your mistress, didn't you?
00:23:51This is the first blueprint that I ever designed.
00:23:54How did this get here? How did this get here?
00:23:59I asked you for a mansion and instead you're giving a multi-million dollar estate to some other woman?
00:24:04I never gave it to anyone.
00:24:06So that estate has been abandoned for years.
00:24:09Your mother is the one who kept it under her care.
00:24:12Estone, this is for sure a misunderstanding.
00:24:15You want me to believe that this is a misunderstanding? Do you think I'm stupid?
00:24:20My mom handles all my properties. I have not given anything to anyone.
00:24:25Don't lie to me, Noah. Whether it's the estate or the bracelet.
00:24:29I don't care if they're not mine, but you sure as hell better not be giving them to anyone else.
00:24:34Fine, if you don't believe me, let's call my mom. She'll clear everything up.
00:24:40No...
00:24:42No...
00:24:44No...
00:24:49No...
00:24:51No...
00:24:54No...
00:25:01Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system.
00:25:06My darling. First son, and now darling?
00:25:11Lady, you're full of surprises.
00:25:15She's not answering. Have someone go check her hotel room.
00:25:30You really thought she could get away?
00:25:34She's here. We'll see her by now. Let's check outside.
00:25:38I'll send people to check the entire city if we have to.
00:25:42Where is she? Where is the woman in this picture?
00:26:02You didn't know your little homewrecker was married?
00:26:09I'm going to ask you again. Where is she?
00:26:13You're losing it over a homewrecker? Seriously?
00:26:16I'm going to ask you one more time. Where is she?
00:26:20Noah, I...
00:26:22Help me!
00:26:40Paul!
00:26:42Paul!
00:26:48I'm going to go for you, son of a bitch.
00:26:58Okay, that was me. I'm sorry it was you. Sorry.
00:27:02Noah.
00:27:05Son, you finally came.
00:27:14I'm going to make them pay for this.
00:27:18I need a doctor now!
00:27:21Yes, sir.
00:27:31Noah, are you serious? You're Mia's husband?
00:27:35Yes, I am.
00:27:38I'm going to make them pay for this.
00:27:41I'm going to make them pay.
00:27:44Noah, are you serious?
00:27:46You're Mia's fiance and you have the nerve to walk out of here with that woman in front of everyone?
00:27:53Noah, what do I even mean to you?
00:27:56After everything we've been through, you'd rather choose her over me?
00:28:00Can you believe it? The great Harper Ayrton's out to be nothing but a lying cheater.
00:28:04This is crazy. If I were you, Mia, I would walk out right now.
00:28:08She's not my mistress.
00:28:11She's my mother.
00:28:20She's actually Noah's mother? My future mother-in-law?
00:28:24Oh, God, it's over. I'm done for.
00:28:27Does anyone else have any more questions?
00:28:30Because I have one.
00:28:32Who did this? Who hurt my mother?
00:28:37Nobody?
00:28:40Loudon?
00:28:43So, I'll ask again.
00:28:46Who broke my mother's necklace?
00:28:49Who hit her?
00:28:52Who else other than this piece of shit laid hands on my mother?
00:28:56Noah, we didn't know she was your mother.
00:28:59Was you, was I?
00:29:02No, I was not.
00:29:09I didn't know.
00:29:12You didn't know? You didn't know that she's the last person I have on this earth?
00:29:16You didn't know that without her, I wouldn't even be here today?
00:29:21Unless a man would take his anger out on you.
00:29:25But I'm not going to do that.
00:29:28That's on you for raising her to be like this.
00:29:31I really didn't know.
00:29:32You didn't know?
00:29:34If she wasn't someone important, does that make it right that you treat her like trash?
00:29:38Noah, I'm so sorry. I only acted that way because of those photos.
00:29:42I misunderstood. I thought she was your mistress.
00:29:44You misunderstood. That's the best you've got, that you've misunderstood.
00:29:47This is just a misunderstanding within the family.
00:29:51A family? No, she's not part of the Harper family.
00:29:55Don't say that. Mia saved your life.
00:29:58Yes, she saved my life because of that.
00:30:00I've indulged every little demand that you people have thrown at me, but hitting my mother?
00:30:04No, that, that crosses the line.
00:30:07You better pray that she's all right.
00:30:09If she's not, I'm going to make sure everybody wishes that they were dead.
00:30:19We just came here for a show.
00:30:22Not to be involved.
00:30:26We already apologized. What more do you want?
00:30:30I didn't even do anything in that back school anyway.
00:30:33You think money makes you untouchable, huh?
00:30:36Look at him. Acting like he's better than us just because he's rich.
00:30:44I still don't give a damn what you did to my mom.
00:30:47I'm going to pay you back a thousand times.
00:30:56Who's next?
00:31:03Mia, Mia, help me.
00:31:06Don't forget you have my kid in there, please.
00:31:09Save him, or I'll tell everyone your dirty little secret.
00:31:13Don't.
00:31:15Noah, please.
00:31:18I'm begging you, please forgive me.
00:31:20Forgive you? I will never forgive you.
00:31:24Do you think my mom will ever forgive you?
00:31:27Vivian's nice.
00:31:29She'll probably let it slide.
00:31:32Please, Noah, please just give me, just give me a chance.
00:31:48I will never forgive you.
00:31:52I will never forgive you.
00:31:55Mom, are you okay? Did they take care of all your injuries?
00:31:59Maybe you should just head home, Mom. I can take care of this.
00:32:02Anybody that hurt you is going to pay.
00:32:04No, no. This is something I need to handle myself.
00:32:14Vivian, Vivian, I'm so sorry. It's my fault. Please forgive me.
00:32:21Really? Who said we were close enough for you to call me that?
00:32:26I didn't know you were Noah's mom.
00:32:29I thought you were his mistress. I'm so sorry.
00:32:32I only did that because I love him so much.
00:32:36Please, I'll do anything to make this right. I'll do anything.
00:32:39I'll treat you right. I'll take care of you.
00:32:41I'll even treat you like my own mother.
00:32:44Please, I won't ever hurt you. Please forgive me.
00:32:48What about everything that happened to me today?
00:32:51Every slap? Every humiliation?
00:32:54Tell me, Mia, how are we going to make up for all of that?
00:32:57If I had known that you were Noah's mom, I wouldn't have dared.
00:33:02Please forgive me, Vivian. For Noah's sake, please.
00:33:06Vivian, I'm so sorry. I was wrong.
00:33:10I hear it. Please hit me again if that's what's going to make things right.
00:33:14If Noah hadn't found me today, I probably wouldn't have made it out alive.
00:33:18I told you I wasn't a mistress, but you wouldn't listen.
00:33:22You don't deserve to marry Noah.
00:33:24And you have lost your chance of ever being a part of the Harper family.
00:33:33Do you really think that there's a future between us?
00:33:36We're done.
00:33:38At one point, I was really grateful because you saved Noah's life.
00:33:42I even went out of my way to find you a special gift.
00:33:46A gift?
00:33:47Yeah. The keys to the mansion that you threw in the trash.
00:33:50The bracelet that you smashed. Those were for you.
00:33:54It's too bad. You destroyed them all.
00:33:56What?
00:33:59Those were for me?
00:34:02It was their idea. They did it. I didn't do anything. They set me up.
00:34:07Vivian, please. Please, Vivian. Give me another chance.
00:34:11And maybe another set of gifts, too.
00:34:15Wow. Wow, Mia. You are unbelievable.
00:34:19Let me make this clear. Those gifts were mine.
00:34:22They were only yours if I was going to give them to you.
00:34:25Do you understand?
00:34:26Vivian, please.
00:34:30You brought this on yourself.
00:34:32That mansion? Noah designed it.
00:34:35Someone once offered me over $300 million.
00:34:38The bracelet?
00:34:39Priceless Harper family gear worth $2 million.
00:34:45But that locket?
00:34:47That was the last photo of my husband.
00:34:51Do you have any idea what you destroyed?
00:34:56So tell me, Mia.
00:34:58How are you going to pay me back for all of this?
00:35:01Noah, all these years we've been together, this is my last chance.
00:35:06No. We've been together for so long.
00:35:09You can't do this to me, please.
00:35:12I love you so much. I've done so much for you.
00:35:15Please, please, just give me one more chance.
00:35:22There is nothing left between us, Mia.
00:35:25We're done.
00:35:27Sir, here's the surveillance footage from the hotel and banquet hall.
00:35:35You did this to my mother?
00:35:45I can't believe that I was ever stupid enough to fall for you.
00:35:48Just because you saved my life, that is the only reason that you are not gone.
00:35:52This wedding's off.
00:35:54From now on, you are nothing to me and my family.
00:35:58No, no, no, no, Noah.
00:36:00Please don't call this off just because of your mother.
00:36:03Yeah, Mia, she messed up.
00:36:06You gotta give her a chance to fix it.
00:36:08Mia, you will never, ever be a part of the Harper family.
00:36:15This wedding is officially cancelled.
00:36:18Take them out of here, turn them over to the police.
00:36:21No, wait. Wait.
00:36:24You can't call off the wedding.
00:36:26I'm pregnant. It's Noah's baby.
00:36:34You're pregnant.
00:36:37A baby?
00:36:40Noah, you can't walk out on this.
00:36:43There's a life at stake.
00:36:45Yeah, and even if you don't get married, you can't ignore the kid.
00:36:49I mean, think about what this will do to the Harper family's reputation.
00:36:53Why didn't you tell me that you were pregnant?
00:36:55I have the pregnancy report right here.
00:37:01Are you really going to deny your own baby?
00:37:04Please, Noah, it's legit.
00:37:07No, please don't call off the wedding.
00:37:10Please, for the baby's sake, please forgive me.
00:37:14Mother, please, please don't do this.
00:37:16Do this for the baby, please.
00:37:18Please forgive me, please.
00:37:20I'm going to need more than your word and a piece of paper.
00:37:24You need a doctor's confirmation, DNA,
00:37:28You need a doctor's confirmation, DNA test included.
00:37:31That is the only proof that I will accept.
00:37:34Family doctor will run the test.
00:37:36If this is true, I'll accept full responsibility.
00:37:41For the baby and for you.
00:37:58Doctor, what are the results?
00:38:01Mia's pregnant.
00:38:04See, Noah, I wasn't lying.
00:38:09We will still need a DNA test to prove that the baby is Noah's.
00:38:13You still don't trust me, do you?
00:38:15Why do you keep denying me?
00:38:17If the baby is Noah's, why are you scared of taking a test?
00:38:21Unless you have something to show me.
00:38:24I'm not scared.
00:38:26Doctor, when can we run the test?
00:38:28The baby is still early term.
00:38:30I recommend waiting a month for the most reliable results.
00:38:34Fine.
00:38:36We'll wait.
00:38:38If the baby is mine, then I'll take full responsibility for you and the child.
00:38:42If this doesn't cover up what you did, I'll still pay for it.
00:38:46I dodged the bullet this time.
00:38:48What about now?
00:38:50Still pay for it.
00:38:52I dodged the bullet this time.
00:38:54What about next month?
00:38:56I need to find a way to protect myself and this baby, no matter what it takes.
00:39:08Vivian, I brought you some tea.
00:39:11No, thank you. I'm not much of a tea drinker.
00:39:14How about we go shopping for baby clothes together?
00:39:18I thought it'd be a nice way for us to bond.
00:39:21Can I have Anna go with you? I have work to do.
00:39:24Well, let me make one thing clear.
00:39:27Your engagement is over. I'm not your mother-in-law.
00:39:30And you will be gone in a month.
00:39:32What about Noah's baby? Does this child not mean anything to you?
00:39:35I mean, you're a mother too.
00:39:37We'll talk about this next month after the test.
00:39:40Ma'am.
00:39:42Catherine's calling.
00:39:45Catherine?
00:39:47She's Mr. Harper's grandmother. She lives in Florida.
00:39:50Her 80th birthday is coming up, and Miss Harper's planning a big celebration.
00:39:54Oh. Noah's always talked about how much he loves his grandma.
00:39:58This could be it. If I can get Noah's grandmother on my side at the party,
00:40:02I might still secure my place in the Harper family.
00:40:08Ugh! Vivian's impossible!
00:40:10She does not respond to kindness.
00:40:13And trying to win her over is a waste of time.
00:40:16We really did mess up that day.
00:40:19If we had known who she was, maybe things would have been different.
00:40:22Well, I heard that the real power of the Harper family isn't Vivian.
00:40:26It's Noah's grandmother, Catherine.
00:40:28She's the one in charge, but she stays in Florida and lets Vivian manage things.
00:40:32Honestly, you don't need to take her seriously.
00:40:34Exactly. She's just some middle-aged woman trying to act tough.
00:40:38There's no way she's running a whole empire.
00:40:41Your only leverage is this baby, and if anything happens to it, we're screwed.
00:40:46Did you hear about Jonathan? He's dumb. He can't even show his face in L.A.
00:40:51I guess Mia hasn't told them who the baby's father really is.
00:40:55So, Mia, what's the plan?
00:40:57Don't worry about it. I've got everything under control.
00:41:02So, what should I get Noah's grandmother?
00:41:07LAUGHTER
00:41:13Catherine, how have you been feeling lately?
00:41:16Oh, I've been in the sun so much I'm practically glowing.
00:41:21How is the wedding ceremony coming along for Noah?
00:41:25Well, the engagement?
00:41:27It's been delayed.
00:41:29Delayed? Why? Is Noah okay?
00:41:32You know, Vivian, you know I'm not getting any younger.
00:41:36I'm turning 80 next week, and I just want to be a grandma before it's too late.
00:41:44You know, the Harper family just seems so distant lately.
00:41:50I just want us to feel like a real family again.
00:41:55No, the Harper family is fine. Nothing bad has happened.
00:42:03Vivian's nothing but a puppet.
00:42:06Looks like Noah's grandmother is the one calling the shots.
00:42:09Her birthday's next week. This is my last chance.
00:42:12If I can get on her good side, I'll secure my spot in the Harper family.
00:42:18Are the gifts ready for Catherine?
00:42:20Yes, ma'am. Mr. George double-checked everything. It's all set.
00:42:33Why'd we take the long way, ma'am?
00:42:35The media's already running wild with stories about Noah and some mysterious lady.
00:42:38I do not need to stir up things even more.
00:42:40You've always kept a low profile. Who'd have thought it'd cause this much trouble?
00:42:43You just got back to the U.S., so no one in L.A. knows that you're the one actually running the business association.
00:42:48And if they did...
00:42:49Enough, Anna. Listen, let's just get inside.
00:42:54Invitation, please.
00:42:56Oh, I don't have one.
00:42:57I'm so sorry, ma'am. I forgot to set one aside for you.
00:43:01No invitation, no entry.
00:43:03Who do you think you are showing up here without one?
00:43:06Excuse me, do you even know who you're talking to?
00:43:09I don't care who you are. This is a private event for the Harper family.
00:43:12Who could possibly outrank them?
00:43:14Seriously, who shows up to an event like this without a car?
00:43:18What are you, lost or something?
00:43:20Step aside and let the guest through.
00:43:26Watch your mouth!
00:43:28This is Miss Harper, Mr. Harper's mother.
00:43:31Mrs. Harper, you're right. And I'm the CEO of Harper Group.
00:43:35Get Edward now. Our family butler and event manager. Tell him I need to see him, please.
00:43:41She knows Edward?
00:43:45Wow, you've really done your research. I can't believe you even know who Mr. Edward is.
00:43:49Enough! Get Edward now.
00:43:52Like Edward would ever waste his time on someone like you.
00:43:54Get out of here before this gets embarrassing.
00:43:58Welcome, Mrs. Harper.
00:44:00Here's our invitation. Want to double check it?
00:44:02Of course not. Mr. Edward already told us you were coming. Especially with the baby on the way.
00:44:09Miss Mia, you're Mr. Harper's fiance. Why don't you tell them who we are?
00:44:15I'm too worn out for all this commotion.
00:44:18Don't worry, Mrs. Harper. We'll take care of it.
00:44:22Get out now before I throw you out myself.
00:44:27Who exactly are you planning on throwing out?
00:44:33What's going on?
00:44:35This woman claimed to be your mother and disrespected Mrs. Song.
00:44:38The woman teaching her lesson was the right move.
00:44:40Edward! Is this how you're training them now?
00:44:43You! Idiot!
00:44:45Oh, do you have any idea what you're talking about?
00:44:48You! Idiot!
00:44:50Oh, do you have any idea who this is? Have you lost your mind?
00:44:55This is Mrs. Harper. Mr. Harper's mother!
00:45:01My deepest apologies, sir.
00:45:03Madam, I should have done a better job at keeping my subordinates in line.
00:45:08They not only embarrassed me, they also humiliated my mother.
00:45:11You're absolutely right, sir. And whatever punishment you see fit, I will humbly accept.
00:45:16You moron!
00:45:19Apologize to Mr. Harper and his mother right now!
00:45:23We apologize. We didn't know who you were.
00:45:26Please forgive us.
00:45:27No. Get up.
00:45:32Edward, if this happens again, you're done as head steward.
00:45:35Understood, sir.
00:45:37Please.
00:45:47Okay. Well, Mom, everything's set up exactly how Grandma likes it.
00:45:52You're so thoughtful. So nice.
00:45:55Is that your secret mistress? And he brought her here?
00:45:59Man, only rich people pull stunts like this.
00:46:01Watch what you're saying. This is Mrs. Katherine Harper's birthday.
00:46:04Show some respect.
00:46:06That's her daughter-in-law. She just got back from overseas.
00:46:09She's a real beauty.
00:46:11Show some respect.
00:46:13That's her daughter-in-law. She just got back from overseas.
00:46:16I gotta go pick up Grandma now, but let me know if anything else happens.
00:46:20Of course. I will be fine.
00:46:25Showing up to a huge birthday party like this empty-handed? That's pretty bold.
00:46:30Mia, I'm sure the gift you got Mr. Harper's grandmother will blow her away.
00:46:34She'll be so proud of her thoughtful granddaughter-in-law.
00:46:37Nothing makes a grandmother happier than a new baby.
00:46:40Once the little one comes, it'll be the best gift of all.
00:46:44Exactly what this family needs.
00:46:48Let's toast, Vivian.
00:46:54It's a very special day today.
00:47:05Why did you push me?
00:47:06How could you push her, Mrs. Harper?
00:47:08She's carrying the Harper family bloodline.
00:47:16A mother-in-law pushing her pregnant daughter-in-law?
00:47:19That is brutal. Way over the line.
00:47:22Wow. I guess Mia was right. You never liked her.
00:47:26I guess you proved it to everyone here.
00:47:29Mia, your performances are getting better and better.
00:47:32Too bad I didn't touch you.
00:47:34I wasn't trying to cause any trouble. I just wanted us to be closer.
00:47:39I know you don't want...
00:47:40Closer? Are you kidding me?
00:47:43You refuse to believe this baby is Noah's and now this?
00:47:46I know you don't like me, but why deny your own grandchild?
00:47:53Whether this is Noah's baby or isn't, it's not up to you.
00:47:57The DNA test will tell the truth.
00:47:59You're just jealous. You have this strange relationship with your son.
00:48:04You can't stand that I'm the most important woman in his life now.
00:48:08You just want control over Noah.
00:48:10For someone like you, Mrs. Harper, it's pitiful.
00:48:14The security footage will tell the truth.
00:48:17Mia, if I wanted to hurt your baby, why would I wait until now?
00:48:22Stop lying all that, Mia.
00:48:29I just wanted a happy family. I don't know why you hate me so much.
00:48:36Everyone saw it. You pushed me.
00:48:39That's right. We all saw it.
00:48:42She shot Mia.
00:48:44If this hurts Mia or the baby, who will take responsibility?
00:48:48Two lives are at stake.
00:48:51Mia, I never thought you would stoop this low.
00:48:54Hurting yourself to play the victim?
00:48:57Look, listen carefully.
00:48:59No matter how low you go, no matter what stunt you pull,
00:49:03you will never be a part of this family.
00:49:07This is who the real Vivian Harper is.
00:49:12She hides behind her power and money, but she's heartless!
00:49:16She's pregnant. Shouldn't we get her to a hospital or something?
00:49:19This party is over. It was over before it started.
00:49:22These two are going to tear the family apart.
00:49:25You don't deserve to be her mother-in-law.
00:49:27Everyone, we should kick her out.
00:49:29Yeah, yeah, kick her out!
00:49:31Exactly! And if anything happens to Mia's baby, Vivian Harper is a murderer.
00:49:37Are we just going to let her get away with this?
00:49:39Hell no. Kick her out of here already.
00:49:41Yeah, get out!
00:49:42I'd like to see anyone try.
00:49:50Catherine!
00:49:51Ma'am!
00:49:53Ma'am, Vivian pushed me!
00:50:00Thank you all for coming to celebrate an old lady's birthday.
00:50:06All the noise. Vivian, you planned a lovely party.
00:50:11But the theatrics are unnecessary.
00:50:16Let me be clear.
00:50:18If anyone wants to stir up any trouble tonight, you will answer to me.
00:50:26I'm Noah's fiancee. I don't mean to make a scene or anything.
00:50:32It's just that Vivian accidentally pushed me earlier.
00:50:37I know Vivian very well.
00:50:40I know Vivian very well.
00:50:43And if you didn't provoke her, she's not the type of person who acts without reason.
00:50:53I never touched her. You can check the security footage for proof.
00:50:57Mom, you don't need to defend yourself. It's something that she wouldn't do.
00:51:00Mia?
00:51:04What are you up to?
00:51:06Ma'am, I'm so sorry. I must have been overwhelmed.
00:51:10Nervous about the baby. I panicked and lost my balance.
00:51:15Maybe I overreacted a little bit.
00:51:18But I was just nervous. I was so worried about the baby.
00:51:22You're pregnant?
00:51:26Yes. I'm carrying Noah's baby.
00:51:31This is great news for our family. Why didn't you tell me on the phone earlier?
00:51:38We had to wait a week back then, but we just got the DNA test today to confirm.
00:51:43DNA results?
00:51:45From the moment I saved him from that accident, I've given everything for Noah.
00:51:53I wasn't able to recognize Vivian, and I disrespected her, and I am sorry.
00:52:00If Noah and Vivian can't forgive me, I'll leave.
00:52:07If it makes things easier, I'll end this pregnancy.
00:52:13Oh, sweetheart. Don't even think about that.
00:52:19Why are you considering DNA testing?
00:52:23That could be dangerous for the baby. This is absurd.
00:52:27Grandma, it's not what you think. It's...
00:52:30Mia, you're expecting, and your health is priority.
00:52:36And if anything happens, you come to me directly.
00:52:42Vivian, you're her mother-in-law. Show some compassion.
00:52:49You should know better than anyone as a Harper, it's family first.
00:52:56Yes, I do.
00:52:57Oh, please don't be upset with her. I promise, no matter what happens, I'll take care of this baby.
00:53:04You are so thoughtful.
00:53:07For your birthday, I prepared something very special.
00:53:13Bring in the gifts!
00:53:17I hear you're a fan of red collectibles, so I found this royal tiara worn by the former Queen of England just for you.
00:53:25It's priceless, and it's over a century old.
00:53:29This tiara is a symbol of your timeless elegance and grace.
00:53:34A true tiara. Priceless, timeless, and utterly exquisite.
00:53:39She put real thought into this gift. What an impressive gift.
00:53:43Oh, Mia, you've outdone yourself.
00:53:47Hearing of your love of art, I tracked down this wonderful treasure.
00:53:53Whispers of the Morning Light by Amelia Winter.
00:53:56It's crafted with rare pigments and precision techniques, making it at least $10 million.
00:54:04Amelia Winter? Her works are legendary.
00:54:07Honestly, that could be worth way more than $10 million.
00:54:12I love anyone who appreciates fine art.
00:54:17Mia, you certainly do know how to butter people up.
00:54:21What do you mean?
00:54:22I've worked hard to find meaningful gifts for Miss Catherine.
00:54:27Are you saying you can do better?
00:54:29In due time, you will see the difference between us.
00:54:34In due time, you will see the difference between us.
00:54:37Difference? I'm not finished yet, but...
00:54:41Ma'am, my third gift to you...
00:54:47A beachfront mansion in Malibu!
00:54:53In the exclusive Crimson Beach area.
00:54:56Oh, good.
00:54:59Malibu? That's high real estate, but Crimson Beach?
00:55:03It's a gesture of goodwill from my family to the Harpers.
00:55:08All I ask is just your blessing for me and my child to stay, and for my marriage to Noah.
00:55:17Grandma, these gifts don't mean anything.
00:55:19I will take responsibility for the baby, but I'm not going to marry Mia.
00:55:25Really? It looks like the Stones hardly tried.
00:55:29They just threw in some random mansion to appease Catherine.
00:55:32Ma'am, the mansion is worth $50 million.
00:55:35We had to pull a lot of strings to get that.
00:55:37And who are you to question us?
00:55:40I bet you couldn't even manage to get a property on Crimson Beach.
00:55:44That mansion is one of the most exclusive in L.A., and she has the nerve to call it trash?
00:55:50Are you sure that mansion is in the middle of Crimson Beach?
00:55:53How does she know it isn't?
00:55:55Because I've owned Wavesong Villa, the most expensive beachfront property in L.A., for a while now.
00:56:05Vivian, when did you get Wavesong Villa?
00:56:09Mia, admit it. That house is not in the center of Crimson Beach.
00:56:12Fine. It's not in the center, but it's only because when I tried to buy that place,
00:56:18Wavesong Villa was already taken, so I had to settle for Sunset Villa over in the northeast.
00:56:24Wait, so Ms. Stone's mansion isn't even prime real estate?
00:56:27Wow, Vivian bought Wavesong Villa? What a bold move.
00:56:31So, Mia, now that Catherine's around, are you done sucking up?
00:56:35I have someone monitoring all the money that flows in and out of Harper Court.
00:56:39If she bought Wavesong Villa, I'd be the first to know.
00:56:42This doesn't prove that Wavesong Villa is yours.
00:56:45Mia's right. Wavesong's worth more than twice as much as Sunset Villa.
00:56:49If anyone snatched it up, everyone would know.
00:56:52Mom, did you really buy Wavesong Villa? I mean, that's quite the purchase.
00:56:56I have someone on their way right now with a deed to the property.
00:57:01Vivian, you're bluffing.
00:57:03Just to make me look bad. There's no way you could ever afford a place like that on your own.
00:57:09Let's see if you think I'm still bluffing in five minutes.
00:57:16Vivian, Mia's gifts are genuine and heartfelt, and nothing you can say can change that.
00:57:24I just wanted to make Grandma Catherine happy so that us Harpers could be a big, happy family.
00:57:33But I guess you're never satisfied.
00:57:38Mia, stop causing trouble.
00:57:41If people knew you were competing with your daughter-in-law, you'd be the joke of the city.
00:57:48I'm not trying to compete with Mia. It's just that her cheap gifts are an insult to the Harper family.
00:57:54Are you calling my carefully chosen gifts cheap?
00:57:59Am I wrong?
00:58:01These gifts are nice.
00:58:03Maybe not more than $20 million.
00:58:06Extravagant, maybe, even to the untrained eye.
00:58:10But you have to do a lot more than that to impress me.
00:58:19What the hell, Vivian?
00:58:29What the hell, Vivian?
00:58:31Mom, you need to calm down.
00:58:33Vivian, you ruined the Stone family gifts. You are seriously evil.
00:58:39Geez, Catherine looks furious. Vivian's in trouble now.
00:58:43They're all ruined! God!
00:58:47Ma'am, you have to get back at her.
00:58:49The Harpers want nothing from you.
00:58:52Ma'am, she keeps trashing on my birthday gifts when she can't even do better herself.
00:58:56I mean, come on! She showed up empty-handed.
00:59:00George should be here by now.
00:59:02I can so do better than her. I can easily do better than her.
00:59:08Everybody knows that Vivian is masquerading as this fake, strong, independent woman living off her family's money.
00:59:14If she wasn't a Harper, she'd be a broke nobody.
00:59:17Mia's got a point. Harpers wants to thank Catherine and Noah, not Vivian.
00:59:21Vivian talks a big game, but can she actually back it up?
00:59:28Stop! What are you doing?
00:59:30No! That's the deed!
00:59:33Huh?
00:59:42The tiara, the mansion, the painting. I'll pay you back double for it.
00:59:46Ma'am, she's out of control! Please do something!
00:59:57Isn't that George Jones, president of the L.A. Chamber of Commerce?
01:00:01The man who controls the internal operations of Harper Corp. and every major business in the city?
01:00:06You know, I heard that he's just a figurehead, but how does he know Mrs. Harper?
01:00:11Who the hell is Vivian Harper, anyway?
01:00:14I present a Cartier brooch, once belonging to a former First Lady of the United States.
01:00:19Wait, wasn't that sold at an auction recently for $100 million? How'd it get here?
01:00:26The title, to a 200-foot superyacht.
01:00:30Superyacht? That's the pinnacle of luxury!
01:00:33A portrait of Mrs. Catherine Harper, painted by the one and only Amelia Winter.
01:00:41Wait, Amelia Winter retired ages ago.
01:00:45I can't believe she would come out of retirement to paint a portrait for someone.
01:00:48If Vivian really persuaded her to come out of retirement, this portrait is worth way too much.
01:00:53If Vivian really persuaded her to come out of retirement, this portrait is worth way more than a painting that Mia brought.
01:00:58The deed, to Wave Song Villa, located in the heart of Crimson Beach.
01:01:03So Mrs. Harper really did get Wave Song.
01:01:07You know, I've heard rumors of her clout, but this is on a whole other level.
01:01:12And security will bring along royal jewelry, watches, and handbags from the 18th century.
01:01:17All absolute masterpieces.
01:01:19Vivian could have started a museum with all those rare artifacts, but gave them as gifts instead.
01:01:26These aren't just gifts. She gave the lady a goddamn treasure chest.
01:01:30This can't be all from one person. This is unthinkable.
01:01:35Mrs. Harper is a widow. Where would she get all the money for this?
01:01:38There's a rumor that she's the CEO of Harper Corp. and the richest woman in L.A.
01:01:42Must be true. Her wealth is unmatched.
01:01:45God, I way underestimated her.
01:01:48I mean, I took on some crazy debt to afford all those gifts.
01:01:52Trying to one-up her was the wrong move.
01:01:54Mr. Jones! It's so nice to see you in person.
01:01:59Had I known you'd be here, I would have rolled out the red carpet.
01:02:03Please excuse our lack of preparedness.
01:02:07Ma'am, you flatter me.
01:02:09Vivian, where on earth did you get the funds?
01:02:13I mean, this is practically worth half the Harper fortune.
01:02:17Mrs. Harper, I brought everything you asked for. I hope you find it to be sufficient.
01:02:22Vivian, what's this all about?
01:02:26I'm sorry that I didn't tell you sooner.
01:02:29I'm behind the L.A. Chamber of Commerce.
01:02:32I've used my extensive connections and networks abroad to curate these items for the last few years.
01:02:38So, Mom, you're the one that's calling all the shots behind the scenes?
01:02:42My God, the elusive Chamber of Commerce president is Mrs. Harper herself.
01:02:47No wonder she's so loaded.
01:02:49Ma'am, Vivian spent years collecting all these items for you.
01:02:53Oh, Vivian, you're the sweetest daughter-in-law and so generous.
01:02:59No! I don't believe it!
01:03:02She couldn't have done this all on her own.
01:03:04Where did you get these gifts?
01:03:07I know they didn't come from her!
01:03:09Shut your mouth!
01:03:11How dare you insult my daughter-in-law!
01:03:15Mia, I know those gifts were your way of securing a place in the Harper family.
01:03:21It was a nice try, really.
01:03:23It's too bad they're all terrible fakes.
01:03:26You're lying! This is slander!
01:03:31If this tiara is real, the royal family's markings would be inside.
01:03:36These markings are fake.
01:03:38Liar! I paid a collector half a million for that!
01:03:41Shall we check?
01:03:43Come look.
01:03:44What are you doing?
01:03:47The markings inside of this are from a second-rate jeweler.
01:03:50No queen has ever worn this.
01:03:54It's nothing but a second-rate cheap copy.
01:04:04Copy.
01:04:10That collector pulled a fast one on me!
01:04:12The collector, was it?
01:04:14What about the Whispers of the Morning Light painting?
01:04:16Same collector, right?
01:04:18The painting's fake, too? Holy shit!
01:04:20I thought it was signed by the painter herself.
01:04:23Catherine, Mia is nothing but a schema with no morals.
01:04:31I will not marry Noah.
01:04:34There's no reason for us to believe that she's being honest about carrying Noah's child.
01:04:39Grandma, I took Mia to get her DNA tested last week.
01:04:44I'm expecting the results back today.
01:04:48Like I said before, I'll take care of the kid if it's mine, but I'm not marrying Mia.
01:04:55Ma'am, I've devoted years to the Harper family and to Noah.
01:04:59I, I, please, please, I, I want to be part of this family.
01:05:04Oh, enough.
01:05:06You've been nothing but chaos to the Harper family.
01:05:11You'll never be a Harper.
01:05:16If she could lie to the head of the Harper family, she'd lie to anyone.
01:05:19This chick is getting what she deserves.
01:05:22Ma'am, but think about, think about the baby.
01:05:25You wouldn't want the baby to grow up without a father.
01:05:29After tonight, you're dead to us.
01:05:46Mia, Mia, snap out of it.
01:05:48What am I going to do?
01:05:50I got a sunset billet deed from my dad.
01:05:53If he finds out it's missing, be finished.
01:05:55Mia, you have to fix this.
01:05:57I'm already finished.
01:05:58And it's all because of that Vivian Harper.
01:06:01She's pushed me this far.
01:06:04So don't blame me for what happens next.
01:06:14Vivian, I opened a new tea business recently.
01:06:19I had a special peppermint blend.
01:06:24Made just for you.
01:06:27Try some.
01:06:29Thank you, Catherine.
01:06:30I know you've been a tea connoisseur for years, so I know it will be top of the line.
01:06:37Madam.
01:06:39Enjoy.
01:06:44Fresh tea's got a kick to it.
01:06:46This has no smell at all.
01:06:48Something's off.
01:06:50You know, I think Mia should have some, too.
01:06:53Peppermint tea is known to relieve nausea symptoms in expectant mothers.
01:06:57Oh, no, I'm good, thanks.
01:07:00I wouldn't want to deny you Catherine's tea.
01:07:04Nonsense.
01:07:06We can't let word getting out that the Harpers are a bad host.
01:07:09You make a good point.
01:07:11Edward?
01:07:22What's wrong, Mia?
01:07:24Are you refusing Catherine's tea?
01:07:26No.
01:07:28No, nothing's wrong.
01:07:36Okay, what's wrong?
01:07:38Did you poison it?
01:07:39Is it poisoned?
01:07:49What are you freaking out about?
01:07:52You were looking so confident when you brought the gifts in.
01:07:56Why does it look like there's something mixed in with the tea?
01:07:59The tea's been tampered with.
01:08:02Ryan.
01:08:04Check the security cameras, especially the ones in the kitchen.
01:08:08Speak up.
01:08:10Why did you do it?
01:08:18Noah's grandmother still wants the baby, but Mrs. Harper is standing in her way.
01:08:22You know, I heard that the old lady had a special peppermint tea blend made especially for Mrs. Harper.
01:08:34This must be it.
01:08:46If I can't stay in the Harper family, then Vivian can't stay on this earth.
01:09:00Come on, tell us.
01:09:02You tried to poison me.
01:09:04I don't know what you're talking about.
01:09:11This is attempted murder.
01:09:15I didn't touch the tea.
01:09:17It wasn't me.
01:09:19Boss, I found traces of cyanide powder on the kitchen floor.
01:09:22There's surveillance footage, too.
01:09:27I didn't do anything.
01:09:29Bella was hungry, so we went into the kitchen to get food.
01:09:32Noah, you know me.
01:09:34I wouldn't even know how to poison somebody.
01:09:38It couldn't have been me.
01:09:39It's true.
01:09:40I just went with Mia to get something to eat.
01:09:42Assault and kidnapping.
01:09:45That's going to get you a couple years in prison.
01:09:48But now you try to poison me?
01:09:50You're going to be locked away for life.
01:09:52Guards.
01:09:54Take them away.
01:09:57No, no.
01:09:58Let go of me.
01:09:59I don't want to go to jail.
01:10:00Mia, you can't abandon me.
01:10:02I did this as a favor to you.
01:10:04It was Bella.
01:10:05She did it.
01:10:06I'm innocent.
01:10:08Really, Mia?
01:10:10You're the mastermind behind all of this.
01:10:12It was you who told us to strip Vivian and beat her up.
01:10:15It was you who filmed that explicit video that went viral.
01:10:17You only have the deed to Sunset Village because I gave it to you.
01:10:20And you're the one who told us to poison Mia.
01:10:23That's everything.
01:10:24That's everything.
01:10:25It has nothing to do with me.
01:10:26I don't want to go to jail.
01:10:28Shut up.
01:10:31If you guys hadn't convinced me that Noah was cheating on me,
01:10:34I wouldn't have jumped to conclusions about Vivian.
01:10:37And if you hadn't given me the cyanide powder and told me about the deed,
01:10:41I wouldn't have been tricked into poisoning it.
01:10:44She's been the one who has been manipulating me this whole time.
01:10:49Enough.
01:10:50Take them both away.
01:10:53Wait.
01:10:54Mr. Harper, I know Mia's secrets.
01:10:55I will tell you all of them if you spare me.
01:10:58Your secrets?
01:11:01No, I don't have any secrets.
01:11:03She's just lying.
01:11:05Mr. Harper, if you agree not to press charges against me,
01:11:08I will tell you everything that I know.
01:11:11Depends what these secrets are.
01:11:14Bella, seriously, shut up.
01:11:16Mia, you sold me out.
01:11:17I am just returning the favor.
01:11:19Stop yapping or I'll rip your goddamn tongue out.
01:11:24Go on.
01:11:26Talk.
01:11:29She's been scanning you since day one.
01:11:33Remember the car accident?
01:11:37She and her lover planned it to get your money.
01:11:44It is no coincidence that you were saved that day.
01:11:48The car accident was staged by her and her lover.
01:11:52The whole plan was to get your sympathy,
01:11:55get you to shower her with money,
01:11:57and then eventually marry her.
01:11:58But that entire time that you two have been together,
01:12:01she's never lost touch with Jonathan.
01:12:03She's lying.
01:12:04She's making everything up.
01:12:06You don't even need to take a DNA test because that child that she is carrying is not yours.
01:12:12It's her lover's, Jonathan.
01:12:14And the original plan with all of that was to have her have your child and then murder you
01:12:21so the child could inherit the Harper Corporation.
01:12:24Mia, you plotted to kill my son?
01:12:30You make me sick, Mia.
01:12:32Thank God I solved your act before it was too late.
01:12:35No, no.
01:12:36She's just jealous.
01:12:37She's lying.
01:12:38She's jealous because I'm the one that's going to marry you and have your baby.
01:12:43It is not jealousy.
01:12:44It is fact.
01:12:45Look, I have proof.
01:12:46Give it to me.
01:12:47No.
01:12:48Look.
01:12:54That Harper boy is a total idiot.
01:12:58I had Jonathan drive right towards him, and then I jumped right in front and acted like I saved him.
01:13:05He totally bought it.
01:13:07Geez, Mia.
01:13:08I can't believe you pulled this off.
01:13:09I know.
01:13:10It was so easy.
01:13:11Just a couple of tricks and now he's eating out of my hand.
01:13:16And you know, I'm pregnant.
01:13:18It's Jonathan's.
01:13:20But that idiot Noah will have no clue.
01:13:24And Jonathan's on board with this?
01:13:26Absolutely.
01:13:27Once the baby's born, Noah just has to have a little accident.
01:13:32And then the Harper fortune will be all ours.
01:13:47You are disgusting.
01:13:51Shameless.
01:13:54Scheming.
01:13:57Murderer.
01:14:00No, it's not what you think.
01:14:03Vivian, Noah, please don't believe her.
01:14:06That recording is fake.
01:14:07That recording is 100% legit.
01:14:09You have to trust me, Mr. Harper.
01:14:11How can he trust you?
01:14:12I'm the one he's marrying.
01:14:14We'll get in touch with that lover of yours and see if he corroborates what
01:14:19Bella has said.
01:14:22We'll remove anyone.
01:14:24You'll never set foot in L.A. again.
01:14:28We did nothing wrong.
01:14:31To anyone who thinks I won't have them kicked out of L.A., watch me.
01:14:42Noah?
01:14:48I want all Smith operations in L.A. shut down.
01:14:51Wipe them off the face of the earth.
01:14:58Dad?
01:15:00What?
01:15:01Our company went under?
01:15:03Uncle's too?
01:15:05Oh, oh.
01:15:08Everything's ruined.
01:15:11Mr. Harper, all of you, please, please spare my family.
01:15:16I promise the Smiths will cut ties with the Stones family right now.
01:15:22Okay.
01:15:24Everybody, one last chance.
01:15:27Cut ties with the Stones and you can leave right now.
01:15:32But if it turns out that Mia's baby is not mine, I promise to do more than just to
01:15:36kick you out of this city.
01:15:38No, don't cut ties with us.
01:15:40I am certain that Mia's baby is a Harper child.
01:15:45Well, it looks like even your friends don't trust you.
01:15:48Anything else to say, Mia?
01:15:52Noah, you're the only man in my life.
01:15:56I know I've made mistakes, but I've been taking care of you, making up for it this
01:16:00whole time.
01:16:01I haven't talked to Jonathan in forever.
01:16:04Really?
01:16:06I think Bradley misses you.
01:16:08Mr. Harper, I want to show you a video that Jonathan sent me.
01:16:13What video?
01:16:21Well?
01:16:24So I'm the father?
01:16:26You don't believe me.
01:16:28I believe you.
01:16:31What's the plan with Noah?
01:16:33Our kid is going to be the Harper heir.
01:16:38I just have to get Noah out of the way and you'll be a billionaire.
01:16:44You're such a moron.
01:16:45I don't know how they let a loser like that get so rich.
01:16:55You've been lying to me for three goddamn years?
01:16:58No, no.
01:17:00Please, I haven't lied to you.
01:17:02I don't even know Jonathan.
01:17:04Bullshit!
01:17:05Noah, he's the guy that you beat up at the wedding.
01:17:08Fuck you!
01:17:10Noah, I love you so much.
01:17:12I can't live without you.
01:17:16Mia, even now, you still can't admit it.
01:17:19Vivian, I'm as confused as you are.
01:17:21The recordings are fake.
01:17:23Everything these people are saying is false.
01:17:26I promise this baby is Noah's.
01:17:30Bring the DNA results.
01:17:32Yes, Ms. Harper.
01:17:36These DNA test results came back today.
01:17:39They prove that the child that Mia is carrying is not Noah's.
01:17:47No, she's lying!
01:17:48The report is vague!
01:17:50Get off me!
01:17:53You despicable little whore!
01:17:57I did not raise you to be like this!
01:18:00Mr. Harper, please.
01:18:03Give Mia another chance.
01:18:05Take them away.
01:18:07No, no, no, no!
01:18:09You can't do this to me!
01:18:11No!
01:18:12And that goes for everyone else here as well.
01:18:14You can either leave now or be taken away by the police like them.
01:18:24I'm sorry, Mom.
01:18:26You fit this trip home into your busy schedule and it just turned out to be a total mess.
01:18:31I should have protected you.
01:18:34Grandma, it's my fault.
01:18:37I let the stone slip underneath the radar and I spoiled your big day.
01:18:41Don't be so hard on yourself.
01:18:44If this had not happened, we wouldn't have seen the Stone family's true colors.
01:18:49I share the blame, too.
01:18:51I was just so obsessed to have a great-grandchild.
01:18:57Guys, I know I've been preoccupied lately with business matters, but I promise I'm going to pay more attention to the family in the future.
01:19:07Well, it's too bad all the drama put a damper on the festivities.
01:19:10It was going to be such a nice party.
01:19:12Oh, it was fine.
01:19:15Well, I did arrange a little surprise at a Michelin-star restaurant.
01:19:19It was supposed to go later, but what the hell, let's go now.
01:19:25Wonderful.
01:19:27I have such a good son and we'll be a family again.
01:19:32Just the three of us.
01:19:35Oh, you guys like spicy, right?
