Wait. Get out of the way. Old man, get out now.
How dare you push an elder. The elevator overloaded when you entered. You should be the one leaving.
Who do you think you are? To tell me to leave? Do you know who I am? Or my connection with Chairman Thompson? I don’t care who you are. Apologize to him now. Is this woman blind? To dare confront Sister Sophia? She’s here for the interview.
She’ll fail after offending Sophia. Not worth my breath. Sir, are you okay? I’m fine.
Thank you, miss. Glad you’re all right. What’s your name? Emily Carter.
Do you work at Thompson Enterprises? I’m here for an interview. I believe in you. You’ll pass for sure.
I appreciate that. The elevator’s here. Wonder if I’ll meet Mr. Thompson.
Why would he attend interviews? We’re just small fries. If I could join the executive office, might get chances to interact with Chairman Thompson. Is Emily Carter here? Me.
Come in for the interview. Mr. Thompson, our staff wasn’t at the airport to pick up Grandpa. The old residence? No sign there either.
You brat. Grandpa? You’re still recovering? Why sneak back to USA? You have the nerve to ask. It’s been a whole year.
Where’s my granddaughter-in-law? Did you even get married? I showed you the marriage certificate. Just the cover. Think I’m senile? I don’t care.
I want to meet her. If I don’t see her, I’ll end my life. Fine, fine.
If you promise to recover properly, I’ll take you to meet her. Okay, one month. That’s all you get.
Oh, and a girl named Emily Carter interviewed at your company today. Hire her. Grandpa, our company hires based on merit.
She made it to interview. That shows capability. That’s Emily Carter girl.
Kind and beautiful. I like her. All right, I’ll hire her.
Let’s go, Grandpa. I’ll take you home. No need.
I’ll go alone. Emily Carter. Good morning, panel.
Here’s my resume. Ew. What a coincidence.
I’m doomed. Get out. You haven’t seen my resume.
Don’t need to. Trash like you don’t belong here. Take your resume and scram.
Oh my god, Mr. Thompson. So handsome. You’re just retaliating because I offended you.
So what if I am? You bullied an elder earlier. That was wrong. Given another chance, I’d do it again.
With interviewers like you, I quit this process. Suit yourself. Who needs this anyway? Why do you look familiar? Who is Emily Carter? That’s me.
Majored in design? Does your design department still need more people? Mr. Thompson, our department is fully staffed now. You can join secretarial as an intern. Alex Johnson, handle her onboarding.
Yes, sir. Let’s go. This woman’s already hitting on Mr. Thompson.
You’ll pay for this. You’re the new office hottie? What are you doing? You dare hit me? You harassed me. A slap was mercy.
Weren’t you chasing Mr. Thompson? What’s wrong with a little touch? Stop playing the innocent saint. Mr. Thompson. Mark my words.
Don’t you move. Let go of me. What happened? He harassed me.
Touched me. Mr. Thompson. I didn’t.
She’s- She’s using me to climb up. Came on to me. Who let this scheming woman into our company? Fire her immediately.
Mr. Thompson. I hired her. What the- Mr. Thompson, I’m so sorry.
I spoke out of turn. I apologize, but you must believe me. She was the one hitting on me.
He’s lying. Mr. Thompson. After all these years at the company, I’ve always been diligent.
You have to trust me. Get out. You hear me? Get out.
It was clearly him harassing me. Why fire me instead? I meant him. Not you.
Idiot. Mr. Thompson. I know I messed up.
I have an 80-year-old mother and a child on the way. If you fire me, they’ll starve. Mr. Thompson, I beg you.
Please give me another chance. Mr. Thompson. Three.
Mr. Thompson. Two. Thank you, Mr. Thompson.
Have I seen her somewhere? Alex Johnson. Mr. Thompson, bring me my marriage certificate. Okay.
By the way, last year, what’s the name of the person you found for me to marry? Olivia Bennett. Are you sure? I’m sure. Must I have remembered wrong? Emily Carter, I’ll get you some materials to review.
Okay. I’ll take care of it. Take these documents back and study them.
Okay. Mr. Thompson, I’m sorry. Any luck finding it? Not yet.
I remember leaving it here, right in this spot. But it vanished. Assistant Alex, what are you looking for? Marriage certificate.
Let me help you search. No need. Go get the product ingredient list.
For Mr. Thompson’s signature. Ingredient list? Yes. Okay.
Mr. Thompson, I sincerely regret my actions. Please don’t fire me. I can keep you employed.
Miss, and… You must help me this time. I can’t lose my position at Thompson Enterprises. I’ll assist you.
If you handle something for me. What is it? Make Emily Carter. Leave Thompson Enterprises.
Emily Carter. She’s the reason I got fired by Mr. Thompson. Don’t worry.
I’ll make sure she’s gone. Proceed. Michael Thompson.
I’ll remove every woman who dares to covet you. You’re mine alone. Who let you in here? Mr. Thompson.
I lost an earring here. Right here. Without my permission, don’t enter my office.
Okay, Mr. Thompson. What are you doing here? Flaunting yourself for Mr. Thompson again? I’m delivering the ingredient list. What are you doing? You dared to tamper with the formula
Adding mercury to it? If this goes into production, the entire batch will be ruined. You’re trying to destroy Thompson Enterprises. I didn’t do it.
I never touched this document. I just got it from R&D. How dare you lie? Adding this is illegal.
Come with me to HR. I won’t go. I didn’t do it.
Let me go. Let me go. What’s going on? Mr. Thompson, Emily Carter tampered with the formula, damaging our reputation.
I didn’t. I never touched it. Stop lying.
Where’s the original formula? Did you sell it to competitors? Emily Carter, any explanations? I swear I didn’t touch it. Taylor Green told me to retrieve this document. I didn’t even look at it.
How could I possibly… Enough with the act. Let’s go to HR. I told you I didn’t.
I’m not going. Let me go. Enough.
Did you go anywhere else? The pantry. I went to the pantry. It must have been swapped there.
Check the security footage. A thief crying, stop thief. Everyone knows.
The pantry cameras were broken. Mr. Thompson, the surveillance cameras were repaired long ago. It’s him? Wasn’t he fired? Why is he still here? Bring Ryan Patel here? Yes, sir.
Let go of me. Release me. And why are you arresting me? Still making excuses.
The surveillance footage is right here. Why did you swap the files to frame me? Yes. It’s… How dare you lie in front of Mr. Thompson? You’d better think carefully before acting.
I… I just couldn’t accept it. I wanted Emily Carter to get fired too. Mr. Thompson, I never meant to… harm the Thompson Corporation.
Save that story for the police. Take him away now. Let go, I can walk myself.
Emily Carter, you failed your duties. You’re fired. Why? Wasn’t this already investigated? It wasn’t me.
Mr. Thompson, did you find it? It’s my negligence. I lost your marriage certificate. Not sure if Mrs. Thompson still has hers.
I checked. One certificate is enough for divorce. Fine, I understand.
Marriage certificate? He’s married? Get out. Let’s go. Let go? Stop dragging me.
I’m sorry. Mysterious husband. You and I have no connection.
Stop calling me your husband. This is a misunderstanding. I’m… Get out.
Mr. Thompson, the matter has… I said get out. Wasn’t this already investigated? Hello? I’m sorry. I left early this morning.
Are you crying? No. Did you call about the divorce matter? About the divorce. Let’s delay it by a month.
I need you to act as my wife, to meet my grandfather. Don’t worry. I’ll compensate you for this month.
That’s unnecessary. The money you gave me last time saved the life of my only family. You’re my benefactor now.
I can’t take more money. Rest assured. I’m good with elderly people.
We’ll proceed with divorce soon. Oh, and our marriage certificate. I accidentally lost mine.
Do you still have yours? Yours is missing too. I lost your marriage certificate. Taylor Green just mentioned Mr. Thompson’s marriage certificate is missing.
What a coincidence. Two. Your marriage certificate is also missing.
If that’s the case, it’s a problem. It’s okay. A colleague of mine today also lost their marriage certificate.
What was I thinking? How could my mysterious husband be Mr. Thompson? You… Are you facing some difficulties? I heard you crying earlier, even though this is a sham marriage. But tell me if you need help. I’ll do my best to assist you.
Mr. Thompson, Mr. Davis, and his team have arrived. Bring the contract. I’m fine.
Right before you called me, I got fired from the company. I just lost control of my emotions. Work at your company.
No need. Don’t worry. I won’t be easily defeated.
Your boss firing you shows his poor judgment. Hmm. He really is blind.
Never speak ill of others behind their backs. Speak of the devil. Here he comes.
I need to go. Something came up. We’ll text about the details later.
Got it. Emily Carter, you’re Mr. Thompson’s assistant. Do you know who is Mr. Thompson’s mysterious wife? I always thought Mr. Thompson was the city’s most eligible bachelor.
Never imagined he’s married. Even if Mr. Thompson were single, you’d still have no chance. Hey, rumor says Mr. Thompson’s planning to divorce his secret wife.
Is that true? Seems plausible. Does that mean I still have a shot? Too much free time on your hands? Pack your belongings and leave the company immediately. What’s happening? No idea.
Taylor Green. Do you know Mr. Thompson’s schedule? His schedule is confidential. Only Sophia and Taylor Green have access.
Do you know who is Mr. Thompson’s meeting with today? Probably CEO Davis from Celestial Group. Mr. Davis. Hey, where are you going? Going to intercept him.
Hand over the medicine. What are you doing here? How did you track me down? I did my research. I found out our collaboration partner is Mr. Davis from Celestial Group.
This is his favorite restaurant. If we’re discussing cooperation, he’ll definitely choose this place. What you need now is a hangover cure.
What’s your motive for approaching me? I just want to prove I can be a competent assistant. Ryan Patel was the one who messed up. Why fire me instead? I don’t explain things to idiots.
You. Emily Carter. I’m sorry.
That wasn’t intentional. Let me clean that for you. Mr. Thompson.
Maybe I should leave now. Taylor Green. Get back here.
Mr. Thompson. How long will you stay on my lap? I slipped. Move.
I genuinely want to know why. Fine. I’ll tell you why.
As an assistant, you didn’t notice the documents were swapped. Not only are you careless, you lack basic responsibility. Dare to make a bet with me.
Give me one month. If I can prove myself as a competent assistant, let me stay and work in the design department. It’s you? That Emily Carter girl.
Kind and capable. I see potential in her. Fine.
Out of respect for grandpa, I’ll give her another chance. Okay. You’ve got one month.
And if you fail… I’ll pay you six months salary. Fine. Give me the deposit.
Why does this card look familiar? I was just joking. Your petty cash means nothing to me. One month.
Succeed and stay. Fail and get lost. I’ll start work tomorrow.
Idiot. See you tomorrow. Morning, Sophia.
Good morning, Sophia. Morning, Sister Sophia. Emily Carter.
Weren’t you fired by Mr. Thompson? Mr. Thompson’s got a sharp eye for talent. He kept me again. How’s that? Annoyed? You… Michael Thompson’s making exceptions for her again.
Still no leads on the mystery wife. Another rival joins the fray. Sophia, I’ve got tissues here.
Get lost. Mr. Thompson. Your coffee, Mr. Thompson.
No milk, sugar, or ice, right? Leave it there. Something else? Won’t you try it? Get out. Oh.
Not bad at all. What do you think you’re doing? Emily Carter. Don’t tell me you’re Mr. Thompson’s mystery wife.
Are you insane? How could I be Mr. Thompson’s secret wife? You better not be. Or else I’ll… You lunatic. Got it.
On my way. Emily Carter. You’ve got what you wanted.
Where’s the money? I asked you to investigate. Michael Thompson’s secret wife. Not this woman.
Dig deeper. You dare trick me, bitch? Where’s your promised return to Thompson Enterprises? Want to hit me? Come on. Aim right here.
Coward. Emily Carter is our common enemy. Only when she’s gone.
Can I bring you back? Emily Carter. What’s your next move? Fine. This time I’ll make her suffer properly.
About CEO Thompson’s divorce from his wife. What’s your take? Not my business. Aren’t you into Mr. Thompson? If you like Mr. Thompson, go chase him.
Stop harassing me all day. If you don’t like Mr. Thompson, why keep clinging to him? I want to join the design department. You keep blocking me.
Besides, I’m already married. You’re married? When did this happen? It’s on my resume. So can you please stop targeting me? Michael Thompson would never go for a married woman.
I should focus on finding that mysterious lady first. Fine. By the way, you go to Redwood International to pick up Mr. Wilson
Mr. Wilson? Mr. Wilson is a key client. Treat him with care. Got it.
I’ll go. She’s already gone. Get ready.
That’s Emily Carter. It’s her. Perfect.
Leaving post during work hours. Let’s see where she’s really going. Mr. Wilson, are you awake? I’m here to pick you up.
Mr. Wilson, stay back. Open the door. Get the key card at the front desk.
Yes, Mr. Thompson. Emily Carter, I know you’re in there. Help
What’s Mr. Thompson doing here? Emily Carter, look at yourself. What kind of state is this? What’s wrong with you? You smell amazing. Emily Carter, you.
It’s so hot. Emily Carter, calm down. Set the AC to 16 degrees.
Mr. Thompson, this… She was probably drugged. I’ll take her to the hospital. Find out who was in that room.
Yes, Mr. Thompson. You’re awake. Why am I in a hospital? If I hadn’t brought you here, you’d have torn me apart.
Never thought you’d be so wild behind that innocent face. What do you mean? You smell nice. What have I done? I actually forced a kiss on my boss.
Yesterday you swore to win our bet, then sneaked out during work to hook up with someone. No. I went to pick up Mr. Wilson… Oh no, Mr. Wilson.
Mr. Wilson? I don’t recall. Any client named Mr. Wilson in our records? Nice try making up stories. I’m not lying.
Then why was there a creep in the room? I must have gone to the wrong room. Who told you to meet Mr. Wilson? Sophia. Alex Johnson, bring Sophia to the hospital.
What? You incompetent idiot. This wasn’t my fault, miss. And Mr. Thompson wants to see you at the hospital.
Mr. Thompson, the hospital is too dry. Could you pass me that? Your hands are dirty. Let me do it.
Come here. Let me see your face. You seem to really like this.
Our company’s products are just that good. Don’t think a few compliments. We’ll get you a permanent position.
Cheapskate. Mr. Thompson, I’ve brought them. Mr. Thompson, you wanted to see me? Did you send Emily Carter to Redwood International Room 206? Huh? I think that did happen.
How come I haven’t heard that? There is a client named Mr. Wilson in our company. Mr. Lee? I thought I told her to pick up Mr. Wilson. Oh no.
Am I getting fired again? Really? Then why wasn’t Mr. Wilson in the room? There was a pervert inside. About what I asked you to check. Mr. Thompson, the front desk records show the name as Ryan Patel.
Ryan Patel? That can’t be right. I’ll call Mr. Wilson immediately. What? You already left? Sir.
I didn’t know Mr. Wilson had already left. So the person Emily Carter went to meet was actually that Ryan Patel, that bastard. You can go.
Emmy. Grandma, what are you doing here? Isn’t this the person from Emmy’s red book? Grandma, what brings you here? Are you feeling unwell? I’m fine. I came to refill my prescription.
Young man, you’re Emmy’s husband? Emily Carter, you told your family I’m your husband? It’s not me. Grandma, there’s a misunderstanding. Misunderstanding for what? Your marriage certificate? He’s my boss.
Not my husband. Boss? Must be my old memory failing. Grandma’s getting old.
Made a mistake. Emily Carter, come here for a second. Boss.
Let me make this clear. I don’t like you. Nor will I ever.
And office romances are off limits. Whatever lies you’ve been spreading, you need to clarify this mess. Otherwise, you’ll only embarrass yourself.
Who’d even like you? Crazy. This is absurd. Let’s go change and head home, Grandma.
This outfit. Why is it identical to my mystery husband’s? But the same outfit looks much better on my mysterious husband. Newbie, do you know why President Thompson sent Ryan Patel? To Denver for President Wilson? Ryan Patel was already fired, wasn’t he? He’s being specially assigned.
From now on, he won’t be that dignified manager. He anymore. He’ll be stuck dealing with President Wilson.
President Wilson. Is he difficult to deal with? You’re new here. President Wilson loves extreme sports.
Every year, the company picks brave staff from secretarial depth to handle him. That pervert, Ryan Patel, is such a coward. He’ll probably wet his pants daily now.
Serves him right. He shouldn’t harass female colleagues. Bring coffee to my office.
Yes, sir. Come in. Your coffee, President Thompson.
So she is this obsessed with me? Where’s my notebook? Forget it. I’ll organize it digitally. I made myself perfectly clear yesterday.
Why won’t she give up? He’s got bad luck in love. Just reject them outright. Say you already have someone you like.
If all else fails, say you’re into guys. Mr. Thompson, so it’s here with you. Actually, I already have someone special.
When Mr. Thompson sees this notebook, he’ll see how dedicated I am. That radiant smile. Yes, it didn’t work.
You… Can you tone it down a bit? Stop being so obvious. Ah. Why is she still here? Mr. Thompson.
What’s happening to me? Why is my heart racing? I’m into guys. Why is he telling me this? Am I his trusted confidant now? But Mr. Thompson is married. This must be why they divorced.
Don’t worry, Mr. Thompson. I’ll take your secret to the grave. Mr. Thompson.
Wait, that’s not right. She’s the one who likes me. Why should I avoid her? Two people come with me.
To dine with Mr. Anderson from Hangtong. Sophia, you’re with me. You come too.
Your coffee, Mr. Thompson. She just started working here. She can already go out to discuss matters with Mr. Thompson.
Who knows if she’s using underhanded tactics to seduce Mr. Thompson. Mr. Thompson has a wife. Is she trying to be his mistress? Sophia’s still here.
Emily Carter, you’ll pay for this. Mr. Anderson. Long time no see, Mr. Thompson.
Please, come in. Excuse me, may I have a menu? That’s all, thank you. What did she just order? Replace longjing shrimp with spiced peanuts.
Swap mu tie for beer. Understood. Mr. Anderson is allergic to peanuts.
Emily Carter, let’s see how you handle this. Why did you order beer? I requested bijiu. I’ll fix this immediately.
Mr. Thompson, what’s the meaning of this? You knew about my peanut allergy, yet ordered so many peanuts? Emily Carter, explain this menu choice. Aren’t you aware of Mr. Anderson’s allergy? Seems Thompson Enterprises isn’t serious about partnership. We might as well call off the contract.
Mr. Anderson, she’s an intern. New hire, still learning the ropes. I’ll have these dishes removed at once.
Is that acceptable? Our apologies. Wrong dishes were served. What’s going on here? Remove them immediately.
All dishes are served. Please enjoy your meal. Mr. Anderson.
Let’s conclude for today. We’ll discuss the contract another time. Hi, honey.
About the anniversary gift. Oh, I’ll come home early. Mr. Thompson, my wife’s gift.
Was that your arrangement? She absolutely adored it. Could I take some extra for her? Mr. Anderson, I’m aware of your deep bond with Mrs. Anderson. That’s why I took the liberty to gift her a set.
You’re welcome to take this set home. Since my wife has such faith in your company, I’m willing to collaborate. Glad you approve.
Mr. Anderson, a toast to you. Here’s to you, Mr. Anderson. To our successful collaboration.
Mr. Thompson, I’ll head out first. Pleasure working with you. Pleasure working with you.
Mr. Anderson, drive safely. Sophia, what’s wrong with you today? Exposing company flaws in front of clients? No, Mr. Thompson. I was just in a hurry.
Enough excuses. Get back to work. Submit a 1,000-word report to Alex Johnson.
Understood. How did you do it? Come closer and I’ll tell you. Not telling.
Emily Carter, are you asking for trouble? You dummy. There’s a courier. Can’t hold your liquor but drank so much? Mr. Thompson, returning to the villa? Not yet.
Take her home first. Got it. Emily Carter, wake up.
Where do you live? Where do you live? Sorry, Mr. Thompson, there’s a stray cat. Hello? Emmy, why aren’t you back yet? Grandma, I’m Emily Carter’s boss. She’s had too much to drink.
Could you give me your address? I’ll take her home. What’s wrong with Emmy? Grandma, please show us the way. Go.
Go straight ahead. Marriage certificate. Emily Carter is married.
Young man, here, wipe your sweat. Thanks for your hard work. Grandma, Emily Carter got married.
Yes, she said it was a whirlwind marriage. That husband of hers, after they got married, he hasn’t come back all year. Look at this one.
This man right here. Why can’t I see the face clearly? It’s me. Used it to prop up the table leg.
I’ll head back first. You’re married, yet you flirt with me? Take care. Morning, Mr. Thompson.
Got the cold shoulder, huh? Some think they’re irresistibly charming. Pathetic. Emily Carter, Mr. Thompson is a married man.
Have some self-respect. You’ve all misunderstood. There’s nothing between us.
Seems he treats you specially. I swear. Our relationship is purely professional.
Nothing could ever happen. Besides, Mr. Thompson prefers men. At least you know your place.
Mr. Thompson. Here’s Director Anderson’s file. You’ll handle the collaboration in three days.
Close this deal and you’ll get a permanent position. Consider it done. Stop laughing.
Huh? You’re married already. Why smile at me? Are those related? Absolutely. Fine, I’ll stop.
I’ll make you coffee. Don’t bother. Sophia, you’ll handle my coffee from now on.
Yes, sir. Your coffee’s ready, Mr. Thompson. Mr. Thompson, I… I have a document here that needs Mr. Thompson’s signature.
Mr. Thompson is intoxicated, resting at Champs Hotel. Understood. Emily Carter is already on her way.
I’ll take Mr. Thompson’s phone soon to message his wife. When she arrives, lead her to catch them in the act. Remember, you must act before the medication takes effect.
Ensure Emily meets the wife face to face. This way, Mr. Thompson’s divorce proceedings will accelerate. Emily will be branded a homewrecker and lose Mr. Thompson’s favor.
Emily Carter. Oh, Emily Carter. You just wait to be caught having an affair by his wife.
Why is it so hot? What’s going on? Assistant Emily. Mr. Thompson’s inside. Open the door.
Mr. Thompson. Emily Carter. What’s wrong? You’re burning up.
Do you have a fever? Let me take you to the hospital. What? You said Madam Thompson didn’t go? Then Michael Thompson and Emily Carter must have… Ah. I actually slept with President Thompson.
Does this count as cheating? President Thompson’s condition yesterday. He seemed drugged. Wait.
A woman texted me last night. But room 506 was President Thompson’s. Is President Thompson my secret husband? A simple phone call will confirm it.
Hello? Woman’s voice. Hello? This is my husband’s phone. Why do you have it? Because your husband’s in my bed.
Mrs. Thompson won’t tolerate this. She’ll definitely speed up the divorce process with Mr. Thompson. Thank goodness.
It seems Mr. Thompson and my secret husband aren’t the same person. What a relief. I’ve been bad-mouthing Mr. Thompson to my secret husband.
If they were the same, I’d rather die than face that. Sleeping again? That’s all you do? Excuse me. Why is my phone here? Mr. Thompson, where were you yesterday? Your phone was off.
I was drugged. Find out who did this. On it right away.
By the way, where’s Emily Carter? She wasn’t at the office today. She claimed to be unwell and took sick leave. Unwell, you say? Mr. Thompson, where are you going? I’ve been thinking you should know something.
A woman called me yesterday. Claiming you’re cheating. Can’t talk now.
Someone’s at my door. You’re the boss who sent Emmy to her home last time, right? That’s me. Heard she’s not feeling well.
Came to check on her. Who is it? What brings the big boss here? This kid. Please come in first.
Sure, Grandma. Here, have some fruits. Thanks, Grandma.
How old are you? Are you married? I’m 26 years old. Already married. Married? But you two look perfect for each other.
Too bad you’re married. Grandma, I was- To be honest, I’m getting divorced. Divorce? Divorce is good.
Emmy’s husband hasn’t come back once in their whole marriage. He’s clearly no good. I’ll make sure Emmy divorces him.
You and Emmy would be great together. So Emily Carter’s husband treats her badly? Then I should take responsibility. Grandma? Enough about that.
You two talk. Why are you here? Heard you weren’t feeling well. Is this about yesterday? Stop.
What happened was just an accident. I know you were drugged. Let’s pretend nothing happened, okay? I’ll take responsibility.
What can you do to take responsibility for me? Through divorce? I’ll get divorced. No need. I’m fine.
Just leave. You’re not well. I’ll stay to take care of you.
I need to call my husband. Want to listen? Oh, really? Perfect. I’ve never met him.
Go ahead. I’ll stay quiet. Do you have some kind of fetish? Besides, it’s not a video call anyway.
You can’t even see his face. It’s fine. Just listening is okay.
We’re about to discuss some… …intimate matters. Still want to listen? Didn’t her grandmother say that her husband treated her badly? Are they actually loving after all? Fine. You insist on hearing this? I’ll let you listen.
Don’t bother. Get some rest. Why so interested in my personal life? Could it be… …he liked me? Hey.
You said someone used my phone to message you about cheating, but there’s no trace on my phone. Probably deleted it. When I called back later, a woman answered, said you were in her bed.
She acted all smug about it. Then went to claim ownership with my wife. I get it now.
By the way, do you mind if I’m with someone else? Of course not. Our marriage was a big deal. It was just for convenience.
Besides, you should have your own life and relationships. Does that bother you? Here’s the thing. I slept with someone yesterday too.
Like you said, this is a marriage of convenience. I won’t interfere with your life or judge who you’re with. Good.
Just being nosy, was that girl someone special? Not sure, but she’s really into me. So we should finalize the divorce soon. Fine.
Pick a date then. Seven days from now, we’ll get divorced after we meet. In seven days, I’ll be single again.
So, sure enough, it was his sweetheart who was asserting her sovereignty over me that day. But she sent the wrong address with the same room number as Mr. Thompson. Hello? Emily Carter.
Mr. Anderson’s project. When will you follow up? Quit now if you can’t handle it. You’ll handle it first thing tomorrow.
Mr. Thompson’s direct order. Understood. You claim to know who’s having an affair with my husband? I also know they’re meeting tomorrow.
I’ll send you their meetup location. Go see for yourself. See it with your own eyes.
How dare her seduce my husband? I’ll tear her apart. Rip that hussy’s mouth off. Where is she? Didn’t you assign her to Mr. Anderson? I never said to go today.
Is she avoiding me? Give me the address. I’m confronting her. Mr. Anderson, I heard you’re a coffee connoisseur.
What do you think of this blend? Not bad. About the project details, I’ve reviewed everything. Let’s sign the contract.
Okay. Mr. Anderson, please review the contract. Any issues with the terms? How dare you seduce my man? This isn’t what it looks like.
We were discussing business. Shut your trap. Don’t think I don’t know.
Your dirty little secret. I saw everything between you two. Mrs. Anderson, this is a misunderstanding.
I work for Thompson Enterprises. Still lying through your teeth. I’ll teach you a lesson today.
Everyone, come see this homewrecker. This sly fox seduced my husband. Homewrecker, you love being the other woman.
Put on a show for everyone. I didn’t. Let go of me.
Enough. Who do you think you are? Mind your own business? Trying to play the hero? Shut your mouth. Mr. Thompson, what brings you here? This minor project doesn’t require your personal attention.
What Mr. Thompson? I’m warning you. Don’t stop me from beating this homewrecker. Just shut up.
Are you trying to get me killed? Mr. Thompson, let’s sign the contract now. We can sign immediately. There’s no problem, really.
You let this harpy bully my Thompson Enterprises employee? Our collaboration ends here. Starting today, Thompson Enterprises will impose a business blockade on the Anderson family. Mr. Thompson, over this nobody employee, surely you’re overreacting.
We’ll compensate her if needed. Let’s not ruin our partnership. Enjoy your bankruptcy.
Ridiculous. The Anderson family empire won’t collapse at your whim. Wishful thinking? I’m fine.
Focus on the deal. You matter more than any deal. Emily Carter, your Thompson Enterprises’s employee.
Never compromise your dignity. I’ve got your back. Hello? What? Our funding chain is broken.
Impossible. Mr. Thompson, so you’re Mr. Thompson? Mr. Thompson, I was blind earlier. Please forgive me.
Mr. Thompson. Why did you have to provoke them? This is your fault. You cheated.
Don’t move. Sorry, I messed up. Does this mean I won’t get full-time status? Who said that? You passed the trial.
You’re keeping me. Is it because you want to take responsibility? Moron. You’re overthinking it.
You passed my test. But that doesn’t mean you’ll join the design department yet. To transfer there, you must pass their challenge.
Sophia already dislikes me. Will she let me pass? Like this. I’ll arrange a test tomorrow.
Pass it, and I’ll approve your transfer. Dare to accept? Well? Attention, everyone. Our R&D team has upgraded our flagship product, Kafuse Serum.
It has been optimized and upgraded. We need new packaging designs. The company hereby announces an internal design competition open to all departments
Is this limited to design department? This packaging design contest is open company-wide. Three-day deadline. The winner may make one request.
Wow, that’s generous. Can winners join design department? If you can win, certainly. Emily Carter, do you even understand design? How dare you boast here.
Shameless. Know your place. Save your concerns.
Results will speak in three days. Sophia, I’ve checked. When Emily Carter was at school, she won numerous awards in design competitions.
If she wins, our department loses face. I have a plan. Done at last.
Just final tweaks tomorrow. Pack up. Emily Carter, after I win this contest, I’ll have you expelled from Thompson Enterprises
Let’s go. I’ll take you home. Thank you, Mr. Thompson.
Water. Ripples. I’ve got an idea.
Mr. Thompson, you go ahead first. I’ll revise the draft. Come back.
It’s late. Go home. This is the design for our second-gen product with an overall white theme, pure and minimalist, emphasizing formula purity and product integrity and the product itself.
This is my original design. Wow. This competition is pointless.
Let’s declare Sister Sophia the winner. Exactly. This is my design.
Emily Carter, have some shame. I worked three days and nights on this masterpiece. Don’t think your secretary position lets you steal my work.
Emily Carter, a design thief like you, is a cancer in this industry. Get out of Thompson Enterprises. I agree.
Expel Emily Carter immediately. Enough. Emily Carter, you claim this is your design? Where’s your proof? My initial design used white for purity and simplicity, pure and minimalist.
Stop parroting my words. Like our products eliminating toxins, we use natural ingredients. Choose natural ingredients.
Sweet Talk won’t make this your design. Since women are made of water, hydration comes first in skincare. Our second-gen product has better moisturization with lightweight texture.
Therefore, I made it transparent with water ripple patterns. This does seem like Emily Carter has a better design. Bullshit.
Sophia’s design is clearly superior. This woman. How dare you go behind my back and secretly make a second version? Who’s better? I trust everyone can judge for themselves.
Emily Carter, you’re now full-time. Starting tomorrow, you’ll be the new designer in our department. Thank you, Mr. Thompson.
Meeting adjourned. Everyone, I have an announcement to make. Based on Sophia and Emily Carter’s performances, the company has decided Emily Carter will serve as leader of design team two, overseeing new product development.
Former design director Sophia is demoted to team three leader. Let’s give them a round of applause. She actually won.
What’s there to be proud of? She just slept your way up. First with manager Anderson, got beaten by his wife when caught. Emily Carter, you used your body to reach my level.
How dare you act superior? You’re nothing special. I recorded everything you said. Mr. Thompson hates gossipers.
If he sees this, you’ll all be fired. Sophia, look at her. Apologize now and I’ll let this slide.
Three, two. I’m sorry. You too.
Sorry. What? Speak louder. I’m sorry.
That’s better. I’m going to Seattle on business tomorrow. Emily Carter, prepare to accompany me.
Mr. Thompson always took Sophia on business trips before. Why take Emily Carter now? Stop. What did you do to make him choose you? Why you instead of me? Because I’m better than you.
Lies. You slept with Mr. Thompson. How did you know? You gave me Mr. Thompson’s location that day.
You spiked Mr. Thompson’s drink. What nonsense are you talking? I have acquaintance there. She witnessed it firsthand.
What acquaintance? The waiter who locked me in the room? What waiter? I have no idea what you’re saying. Stop framing me. Mr. Thompson, the documents for going to Seattle are all prepared.
Hmm. Do you found who drugged you last time? We identified one suspect, but there’s likely… someone behind him. Could it be Sophia? She sent me the hotel location? Moreover, she seems aware of what happened.
Mr. Thompson, your coffee is ready. I’ll investigate this matter. Go pack your things first.
Understood. Hey, gorgeous. Let me show you something special.
Pervert. There’s a pervert near you. Be careful.
I’m coming now. Sweetheart. Stop her.
Don’t let her escape. What do you think you’re doing? Do you like her? If you like her, she’s yours to keep. Do whatever you want with her.
Stop. Don’t hurt him. Watch out.
Let’s go. You just let them escape? We agreed to make money together. I warned you not to touch Michael Thompson.
Next time, I’ll end you. Does it hurt? Let me blow on it for you. One last time.
I feel much better now. Okay, that’s enough. Uh, thanks for yesterday.
You’re my employee. It’s my duty to protect you. Just an employee? Mr. Thompson, Emily Carter told me you were attacked.
Are you okay? If something had happened to me, could I still be standing in front of you? I said you needed bodyguards. You refused. So eager for alone time with Emily Carter? Having your private moment? Alone time? What nonsense.
Don’t you have feelings for Emily Carter? You like me. What do you mean I like you? You were the one who liked me first. When did I ever like you? Then why did you tell your grandma that I’m your husband? You even wrote down all my preferences in your little notebook.
If this isn’t love, what is? My grandma misunderstood. Beside, that notebook contains work-related notes only. I note down details for you, Director Anderson, Taylor, and Lee too.
Moreover, aren’t you into men? That was just an excuse to reject you. Who needs your rejection? Narcissist. Dare to say you don’t like me? Think whatever you want.
You clearly like me but won’t admit it. Director Thompson, do you like her? I… Of course not. I prefer gentle and caring types, not someone who’s loud and chatty all day.
Director Thompson, the reason she likes you is you fell for her first. Therefore, you’re obviously the one crushing on Emily Carter. Are you saying… I’m… secretly pining for Emily Carter? If you dare spill this, you’re dead.
I brought food for both of you. Have some first. Isn’t this the gift Director Thompson asked me to prepare for his wife that day? Is there a problem? My husband gave me this.
Seems your husband isn’t that great. This bracelet looks cheap. Mr. Thompson, this bracelet is expensive.
When you asked me to choose a gift from Adam, this bracelet was an option. Mr. Thompson, you don’t even remember what you gave your wife? Mm-mm. All men are the same.
Hey, what’s wrong with Mr. Thompson? You know exactly why. You know I like Emily Carter, yet you mention gifts from Adam. You’re more trouble than help.
But your marriage is a sham, and you’re divorcing soon. But she doesn’t know that. Should I explain it to her? Stay out of it.
I’ll talk to her myself. By the way, her birthday is in two days. Prepare a decent birthday gift.
Something better than that trashy bracelet her ex gave. Understood. Wait.
Never mind. With those ugly glasses, your taste is clearly terrible. I’ll choose it myself.
What’s going on here? Cut the act. Don’t play dumb. This birthday gift is from Mr. Thompson.
She’s just showing off. Some people stole Sophia’s position through shady means, even schemed, to get such expensive gifts from Mr. Thompson. Mr. Thompson’s divorcing his wife must be her doing too.
Michael Thompson, you’re setting me up. You’re so good at gossip. Why not spread it to Mr. Thompson? Let me state again, these are Mr. Thompson’s gifts for his wife, nothing to do with me.
Mr. Thompson’s divorcing his wife. Why would he buy her all these gifts? Exactly. She’s making excuses out of guilt.
Mr. Thompson’s divorcing his wife for her. Soon she’ll be the future Mrs. Thompson of Thompson Enterprises. I have a wild theory.
Could it be that Emily Carter is Mr. Thompson’s secret wife? Impossible. Are you serious? Emily Carter? She’s unworthy. This is my husband’s phone.
Why do you have it? Because your husband’s in my bed. The voice on the phone sounds just like Emily Carter’s. I sent Mrs. Thompson to catch Emily Carter, but she never showed.
If Emily Carter is Mrs. Thompson, everything makes sense. Fine. I’ll test this again.
Let me see if you’re really Mrs. Thompson. Mr. Thompson, was the gift on my desk from you? Well, isn’t it better than that tacky bracelet your husband gave you? Listen, these gifts were carefully chosen just for you. I don’t want them.
Take them back. Why not? Don’t you like them? If you don’t, I’ll get you new ones. What are you trying to do? I said I like you.
Don’t you feel anything for me? You smell amazing. Stop it. Do I like him? Maybe.
But I won’t be the other woman breaking up a family. You’re married, Mr. Thompson. And I have a husband.
We’re not single and available. Let’s keep our distance. As for the gifts… Give them to your wife.
She rejected your gifts? Yeah. Told me to pass them to you. She’s obviously jealous.
Did you tell her we’re fake married? I don’t know how. By the way, if you want those gifts, come to Thompson Enterprises. No need.
You’ve given me enough already. I can’t accept more. Besides, these are for her.
Wait. Thompson Enterprises? What a coincidence. What are you sneaking around here for? Nothing much.
What are you up to? Hi. Just doing what you wanted. Chatting warmly with my wife.
What broken door? Cheapskate. What’s wrong? What happened? Why did you hang up suddenly? It’s nothing. Got scolded by my stingy boss.
Seems like every time we talk, you end up mentioning him. If you really hate him that much, come work at my company. Actually, I don’t hate him that much.
So you like him? Well, maybe a little. Looks like we’ve both fallen for someone we shouldn’t. President Thompson, the money tree.
I’ve got something to handle. Gotta go. President Thompson, the leaves on that expensive money tree you bought.
Emily Carter is almost plucking all the leaves off. Emily Carter. Looking forward to meeting you, Madam Thompson.
I’ll find out soon. The mysterious wife of Mr. Thompson. Is it really you? Emily Carter.
Didn’t we agree to divorce in seven days? There’s still three days left. Why the rush? You invited me to the cafe. Let’s just meet and talk face to face.
Hello? Hello. Was someone at the door earlier? There’s a lady on the phone outside. Wasn’t it you who arranged this? Then who… Oh.
That mistress from last time. In three days, we’ll meet at number six Xingyang Road. First accompany me to see Grandpa.
After explaining the situation to him, we’ll go to the County Clerk’s Office to divorce. Fine. See you in three days.
I’m still curious about what his mistress looks like. Should we go take a look? No way. Last time I was mistaken for a homewrecker.
They beat me up pretty bad. Maybe next time. She still managed to get away.
In three days, I’ll be single again. Emmy. What is it, Grandma? That boss who brought you home last time.
He seems to be downstairs now. Maybe he needs something from you. Mr. Thompson is downstairs.
Grandma, please go back inside. I’ll go check on him. What are you doing here? How did you know I was here? Obviously, my grandma saw you from upstairs.
What do you really want from me? Emily Carter. I love you. I know you feel the same.
Why can’t we be together? We’re both married already. I won’t become a homewrecker who destroys families. You’re not breaking up my family.
My marriage is fake. I only did it to appease my grandfather and secure the family inheritance. Found a contractual spouse.
We only met on our wedding registration day. I don’t even remember her face. A sham marriage? That’s exactly my situation.
Give me three days, okay? I’ll finalize the divorce with her. Wait, hold on. This is too much to process.
My husband and I are in a sham marriage, too. Did you used to be called Olivia Bennett? Did you change your name before? I never changed my name. I’ve always been Emily Carter.
At least now I know. We’re both in fake marriages after we both get divorced. Let’s be together.
Hell must be freezing over. What is it? Mr. Thompson, you asked me to investigate the drugging incident. It was indeed Sophia’s doing.
Bring her to my office. Understood? You wanted to see me, Mr. Thompson? You’re the one who drugged me, aren’t you? It wasn’t me. I didn’t do it.
Did that Emily Carter poison your mind against me? I called you here not to listen to your excuses. I overheard everything.
You’re fired. Pack your things and leave immediately. Mr. Thompson, I’ve served you for so many years. Don’t I deserve some credit? Now you want to drive me away because of Emily Carter? Not pressing charges is me being generous. Or would you prefer legal consequences? Oh, and find me a lawyer tomorrow.
Have them draft divorce papers. I’ll be officially divorced in two days. Mr. Thompson, are you planning to be with Emily Carter after divorcing? We both entered sham marriages.
We agreed that after ending these marriages, we’d officially be together. Mr. Thompson and his wife have a fake marriage. No wonder she’s so indifferent toward him.
This won’t do. I must stop Mr. Thompson from being with Emily Carter. What are you doing here? Alex Johnson, please beg Mr. Thompson for me.
I was just confused for a moment. I can’t help you with this. You should pack your things quickly and leave the company.
What’s there to be proud of? Once I’m with Mr. Thompson, you’ll be the first to go. What are you looking for? Can’t I just pick up a pen? Marriage certificate? It can’t be. No.
It’s Mr. Thompson’s marriage certificate. This is my personal item. I don’t believe you.
Show me. Why should I show you? This is my private property. Seems Mr. Thompson and Emily Carter don’t know who their sham marriage partner really is.
If Mr. Thompson finds out Emily Carter is actually his wife, we must keep them from finding out. Something’s fishy. She claimed to look for a pen but found a marriage certificate instead.
You won’t show me? I’ll see it anyway. What are you doing? You scared me. This is the certificate Sophia just found.
She says it’s hers. But I suspect it might actually be yours. Let’s check and find out.
Makes sense. Emily Carter, what are you doing? Why is this empty? Emily Carter, how dare you go through my stuff? This is utterly disrespectful. I thought this was Mr. Thompson’s marriage certificate.
Why is it blank? This is my friend’s discarded marriage certificate. Of course it’s blank. I’m apologies.
I misunderstood you. You’re no match for me, Emily Carter. Michael Thompson belongs to me alone.
I’ll never let you be together. When they finalize their divorce, they’ll have to meet in person. The truth will come out then.
Miss Rodriguez, I discovered Mr. Thompson arranged a sham marriage with someone named Olivia Bennett. But somehow they never officially registered it. Here’s Olivia Bennett’s photo.
Miss Rodriguez, is this information satisfactory? Very satisfactory. Thank you, Miss Rodriguez. Call me again for future jobs.
Olivia Bennett. So you’re the one looking for me? Let me make this clear up front. I don’t take jobs under 100k.
This card has a million in it. Do me a favor. Emmy
You dressed up so fancy. Got a hot date? Not a date. It’s a divorce.
Fine. Grandma. Divorce is good. After you split up, snatch that boss of yours back.
Grandma’s quite fond of him. I’ll do my best. Don’t wait dinner for me.
Be safe out there. Emily Carter. Emily Carter.
Husband. Who are you? I’m Olivia Bennett, your wife. Weren’t we supposed to meet here today? She’s Mrs. Thompson.
The CEO’s wife. You’re nothing like I imagined. Maybe I had some minor cosmetic work.
So you’re the mistress. Waiting to steal my husband once we divorce? Shameless homewrecker. Olivia Bennett.
Watch your language. Our marriage is a sham. This is only our second meeting.
I have no feelings for you. You’re mistaken. Mr. Thompson and I are merely superior and subordinate.
I just happened to pass by today. Then get the hell away from here. You’re an eyesore.
I have things to do. You two talk. Emily Carter.
Don’t you dare. Her behavior and the person in the phone don’t match at all. The person in our chats is nothing like you.
Are you even Olivia Bennett? This is my ID. People change. Women especially.
Let’s get this over with. Why did you hang up? We agreed on 10 o’clock, right? Did something happen? What’s wrong? You broke my phone. If the phone wasn’t broken, how’d you mistake my identity? It’s just a phone.
You can afford a new one. Let’s go. Eat first.
I need to fix my phone first. How long will repairs take? About an hour. I’ll bring it over once fixed.
Okay. I’ll be in the private room. Understood.
You don’t want this phone repaired. You get what I mean? Are you crazy? Forget it. I’m done waiting.
Here’s the divorce papers I drafted. As of today, our one-year sham marriage is terminated. I won’t leave.
Olivia Bennett, what exactly do you want? I don’t want a divorce. Didn’t we already agree on this? How can you go back on your word? Didn’t you say you had someone else too? I lied to you. I only care about money.
Aren’t you divorcing me just to be with Emily Carter? I refuse. If I divorce you, I’ll get nothing at all. I’ll add 10 million in compensation.
Not enough. I want 100 million. That’s impossible.
You’re the prestigious Thompson Enterprises. Can’t afford 100 million? Yuko, before meeting you, I thought you were an intelligent woman. Never expected this greedy side of you.
Let me make this clear. This divorce will happen whether you agree or not. If you keep causing trouble, you’ll get nothing.
What’s going on here? Grandpa. Arguing? Not at all. You’re here, Grandpa.
I’m Olivia Bennett, your grandson’s wife. Good, pretty, and graceful. That brat kept hiding you from me.
Meeting you for the first time. You’re so distinguished. Now I know where Michael gets his looks.
He takes after you. Of course. I raised this boy since he was a child.
Olivia, come here. This 3 million is my welcome gift for you. Take it.
Thank you, Grandpa. What are you doing, brat? This is for your wife. Grandpa, she’s not your granddaughter-in-law.
I’m divorcing her. What? You want a divorce? No way, I disagree. Why divorce when things are fine? She’s such a good granddaughter-in-law.
Grandpa, we never really had any real connection. We only got married to appease you. I won’t allow this divorce.
Feelings can grow with time. Trust me. I won’t let you divorce.
Grandpa, she’s just a gold digger. You don’t know what she demanded for the divorce. 100 million.
What? No, Grandpa, that’s not true. I just don’t want a divorce. Liar.
Enough arguing. I’ll settle this. No divorce between you two.
Grandpa, I just brewed this tea. Smells wonderful. Try some.
Grandpa, I want to work at Thompson Enterprises. First, to bond with Michael. Second, I can learn the company operation.
I could support Michael too. That’s perfect. I object.
What’s your problem, punk? I’m the one who decides. Start at Thompson Enterprises tomorrow. Thank you, Grandpa.
Your phone’s fixed. What’s wrong with it? I dropped it earlier. Oh no, how could I forget? Wasn’t she here? Is she an imposter? Take care, Grandpa.
You’re not the person I should marry. Who are you, really? I’m your wife. You saw my ID, didn’t you? If you’re my spouse, who sent me this message? My phone was stolen on the way here.
This is clearly a scam. Really? If you don’t believe me, call them yourself. You’re rich anyway.
Scams won’t hurt you. Save my new number. No need.
Other than divorce, I want no connection with you. Hey, it’s done. Come over.
He completely believes now that I’m his wife. I deleted Emily Carter’s number from his phone, but Emily Carter still has his contact info. That’s still a risk.
I’ll handle it. Her phone will disappear. Good.
You want him, I want money. Pleasure doing business. Likewise.
I heard Mrs. Thompson is joining the company. Seriously? Aren’t they getting divorced? Our intel was wrong. The Thompsons’ marriage is rock solid.
Some scheming women spread rumors. The wife and the mistress under one roof? How dramatic. Some people will get schooled by the real wife.
She promised to divorce her. Was that all lies? Mrs. Thompson’s here. True CEO’s wife.
Elegance, flawless beauty, and glowing skin. Right? Such regal presence. Miles above us commoners.
Enough with the flattery. You’re making me blush. Emily Carter.
Thanks for keeping my husband company. Now that I’m back, your services won’t be needed. Well said.
Some people. Dressing fancy doesn’t make you human. Playing homewrecker.
Shame on our gender. With such a stunning wife, why would Mr. Thompson settle for trash? Just his plaything. Summoned and dismissed at will.
Ha ha ha. Finished? Touched a nerve? If by some miracle, you become Mrs. Thompson. We’re all doomed.
Her? If that gold digger wins, I’ll kneel and call her grandpa. Not very popular, are we? Perfect timing. I don’t tolerate snakes in my garden.
Starting today, you’re demoted to market team support. No slacking. I said let go of me.
Work hard. No leaving until it’s done. Emily Carter.
Get the car ready. Right away, Mr. Thompson. Put me down.
No. Let me down. I’ll take you to the hospital.
I said put me down. What’s wrong with you? What’s wrong with me? Answer me. Did you get divorced? There’s been a delay.
Just give me more time. I’ll divorce her as soon as possible. Are you playing me? The whole company now says I’m being the other woman.
That I ruined your marriage. Who said that? Tell me. They’ll regret spreading rumors.
That doesn’t matter. Neither of us is divorced yet. Keep your distance from now on.
No more contact. You’re not divorced either. Why? Is he unwilling? Or are you reluctant? I don’t owe you an explanation.
Where are you going? I’m in marketing now. I need to work. Who transferred you to marketing? No one.
I asked for it myself. Anything else? I’m leaving. I’ll take you to the hospital for a checkup.
No need. I can go myself. Mr. Thompson, find out who Emily Carter’s husband is.
Warn him. Tell him to stay away from Emily Carter. Mr. Thompson, is this appropriate? Just do as I say.
Understood. Also, transfer Emily Carter back to the design department and investigate. When the company is spreading rumors, fire them all.
Yes, sir. Didn’t you promise to teach her a lesson? Why is she still unharmed? I did confront Emily Carter for you. But Michael Thompson keeps desperately protecting her.
He even fires employees who bullied her. If the old man hadn’t protected me, I’d have been expelled. What’s so special about Emily Carter? Men are a dime a dozen.
If you have money, you can have as many as you want. Why be so obsessed? You don’t understand. He’s different from other men.
I’ve made arrangements. This time I’ll make her pay. I said don’t follow me.
I’ll go to the hospital alone. Hey, beautiful. Not feeling well? Let us check you out.
You wanted money, right? I have money. I’ll give you as much as you want. Did I say we’d let you go for money? That chump change of yours won’t even cover our pocket change.
Boss, aren’t you just after money? My place is right up ahead. Let me go get it for you. No need for that.
Just keep us entertained and we’ll let you go. Right? You’re choosing the hard way, huh? I’ll take care of you right now. What are you doing? Let her go.
Sister Na doesn’t allow us to touch him. Fall back. What took you so long? I was terrified.
I’m sorry. I should have come sooner. Let’s go.
I’ll take you to and from work from now on. Why did you come here today? Didn’t you faint this morning? I came to check on you. Sorry for being harsh earlier.
It’s fine. It’s about Olivia Bennett, isn’t it? I didn’t divorce her today because she demanded 100 million in compensation. 100 million? She’s being outrageous.
My mistake was not signing a pre-nup when we married. Now we’re headed for court. Why didn’t you divorce then? Is it because you can’t bear to part with it? Are you insane? I’ve tried reaching him.
But his phone’s dead. Maybe something came up. Give me your phone.
Let me try contacting him. Those guys just snatched my phone. It’s okay.
I’ll get you a new one. A brand new phone. Ten of them.
Do you still remember his number? I remember. Never mind. I’ll contact him myself.
Fair enough. I should head home now. It’s getting late.
Sure is late. Wait a second. Your hair’s messy.
If you go home looking like this, grandma will worry. Why can’t I move my hand? Good night. I should really go now.
Emmy, your bag? Is this what sweet love feels like? No way. I need to divorce my secret husband ASAP. Honey, I made this chicken soup for you myself.
Try some. Get out. What’s wrong? You’re not my wife at all.
Why is he doubting me again? What nonsense are you talking? If I’m not your wife, then who is? Are you sure? If you’re really my wife, then who sent me messages asking to file for divorce? I already told you. My phone was stolen. This is clearly a scam message.
Look carefully. The number they used is completely different from yours. Fine.
Since you claim to be my wife, what’s the phone number I used to contact you? Recite it now. Isn’t your number the one ending with 8128? Wrong. That’s my work phone.
Not the private number I use with you. You have so many private numbers. How could I remember them all? Then I’m calling the police.
Explain this to the officers. In this day and age, scammers dare target me? Waited so long. Why hasn’t she shown up? Hello? That’s the same voice from before.
Olivia Bennett is definitely an imposter, Penang. I’m sorry. I mistook someone else for you.
Didn’t mean to stand you up. It’s fine. Let’s just reschedule.
How about tomorrow? Hmm. We’ll do as you said. Wear purple rosemary flowers.
After the divorce tomorrow, we’ll settle accounts with Olivia Bennett. Purple rosemary? Want to settle scores with me? You’re bound to be disappointed. Help me put on a show tomorrow.
You’ll be rewarded. Purple rosemary. Why are you here? We just met yesterday.
And you’ve already forgotten me? Why are you wearing rosemary? Didn’t you say we’d meet today? Each of us wears a purple rosemary. I’ll be wearing it. To meet him at the registry office.
To cover up this lie. But Emily Carter must disappear. Okay.
I’ll handle Emily Carter. And make her vanish completely. How could it be you? It’s always been me.
I’ve always been your wife. But you never trust me. So I played a little game with you.
Fun, isn’t it? So that message yesterday was also from you? Yes. I sent that message. Oh, that’s my new number.
Save it as wife. In your dreams. Let go of me
What are you doing? Let go of me. What are you doing? All right, since you’re here. Go file for divorce now.
Divorce? Fine. But prepare a hundred million now. Or… Two hundred million.
You, uh… Hello? Mr. Thompson Emily Carter’s grandma is at the office. She can’t reach Carter. Understood.
I am coming now. Grandma. Emmy is in trouble.
Grandma, tell us what happened. This morning, she went to file for divorce. Shortly after she left, I called her.
I told her to buy me two pounds of braised pork on her way back. But during the call, it suddenly went silent. The line went dead
Just static. She must be in danger. That awful husband of hers must have done something.
Who’s Emily Carter’s husband? Any leads? Not yet. Call the company-issued phone number. We tried that.
No answer. Try her personal. Grandma, call Emmy again.
I’ll try. Grandma, give me the number. I’ll dial it.
It’s 165 ending with 1306. What’s the full number? Are you deaf at such a young age? The one with number 165 ending with 1306? Emily Carter, where are you? Say something. It’s you, Mr. Thompson.
Who are you? Is Emily Carter with you? Name your demands. Any demand will do. Then I want you.
Listen carefully. Fine. I’ll make you hear clearly.
Emmy, are you okay? If you want her safe, trade yourself for her. I’m at the Westside Abandoned Warehouse. Don’t be late.
Okay, I agree. Hello? How’s Emmy? Grandma, it’s fine. Just a prank.
Someone pulled. You should go home and wait. I’ll bring Emily Carter back.
Alex Johnson, escort Grandma home. Ma’am, come with me. Bring Emmy back safely.
Understood. Mr. Thompson, we found him. Where is she? The signal’s very weak.
Southside Warehouse. Police are already on their way. Southside.
Nicole told me to go West. Probably trying to mislead us. Weak signal.
She’s not on ground level. But underground. Mr. Thompson? Tell me.
How many scars? Would these three cigarettes leave on your face? Would your face be riddled with holes? We have no grudge. Why are you doing this? No grudge? How can you say that? Look closely. Who am I? Sophia.
You stole everything from me. Took what mattered most. Don’t you deserve to die? Emmy.
I’ll destroy you right now. I never meant to hurt you. Why did you take her place? I’m fine.
Let me see. It doesn’t hurt. Why so much blood? Michael Thompson.
What a useless man. Can’t even protect the one you love. What’s wrong? Why are you crying? Do I have a terminal illness? Doctor, how is she? The abdominal trauma from the impact caused an accidental miscarriage.
Miscarriage? Are you saying… She was pregnant? You didn’t know. Almost two months along. As the father-to-be, you should have been more careful.
Miscarriage causes both physical and psychological trauma. This is my fault. Doctor.
She didn’t know about the pregnancy. Can we keep this from her? Don’t talk nonsense. The doctor said you have food poisoning.
You need months of proper rest. You scared me to death. I thought I was dying.
I’m sorry. I failed to protect you. Silly.
You did your best. They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. See? I’m perfectly fine.
By the way. Have they found Sophia? Sophia. She’s the one who kidnapped you.
She’s the one who hit me with a stick. Sophia. I need to handle something.
Get some rest first. I’ll be right back. Mr. Thompson.
How’s assistant Emily? Nothing serious. Did they catch the culprit? They almost had the suspect. When some thugs barged in and blocked the police.
They told police Sophia’s the killer. Sophia? How could it be her? I’ll offer 30 million to help capture Sophia. Anyone who provides leads will be rewarded.
Understood. Good. Sophia, you hurt my family.
You’ll pay for this. I told you not to buy anything. I can’t finish all this food.
What are you doing here? Heard you were hospitalized. Came to check on you. These fruits.
Just throw them away if you can’t eat them. I just picked them up from the trash. Thought they matched your vibe.
You’re not welcome here. Take your trash and get out. I really envy you.
Lost your child. Yet still so carefree. What child? This time it’s lotus root and pork rib soup.
Grandma taught me how to make it. You’ll love it. Call grandma after you finish eating.
Don’t make her worry. Are you hiding something from me? How could that be? What’s wrong? Our baby? Where’s our child? Did we lose our baby? Say something. Say something.
It’s my fault for not protecting him. It’s all my fault. I failed to protect him.
I should have protected him. It’s okay. This is my fault.
We can have another child. Olivia Bennett claimed you didn’t want the baby. You told the doctor to terminate it.
Olivia Bennett is lying. I know. Sophia caused our baby’s death.
It was Sophia. She’s already wanted by police. She’ll face justice.
Open up for another one. Mr. Thompson, I found something. Uh, maybe I should leave first.
This better be important. It’s crucial. It concerns Olivia Bennett.
Since when is Olivia Bennett important? I swear. I have no feelings for Olivia Bennett. We’re completely unrelated.
Mr. Thompson, you and Olivia Bennett were never married. My investigation shows her marital status is listed as unmarried. There was a mistake in the paperwork years ago.
You and Olivia Bennett were never legally married. Your legal wife is someone else. What? Mr. Thompson is truly something.
Can’t even recognize his own wife. You even fell into someone else’s trap. This is pretty common, right? You don’t even know who your own husband is.
I’m not like you. I definitely know who my husband is. Grandma told me you’re clueless.
Why does she tell you everything? Can’t be helped. Grandma simply adores me. Your top priority now isn’t finding the real wife and getting divorced.
Let’s make a bet. Whoever gets divorced first loses and moves in with the winner. If you lose, you’ll be moving into my place.
Okay. As Thompson Enterprises’s CEO, finding someone will be a breeze. Oh, really? I have my mystery husband’s number.
One call will prove it. What’s going on? Assistant Emily, your situation usually means you’ve been blocked. Why would he block me? Actually, I gave her a black card, checking the bank records.
We’ll locate her instantly. Don’t cry when you lose. Pack Mrs. Thompson’s belongings.
Right away, Mr. Thompson. How dare he block me? Make a call for me. All right.
What’s the number? 56583. Say that again. 1565836.
Is this really your husband’s number? This is Mr. Thompson’s number. No way. I know this isn’t his phone number.
This is Mr. Thompson’s private number. Only a handful of people have access. Then check this card for me.
This card also belongs to Mr. Thompson. So? Michael Thompson is my husband. I’m that mysterious wife.
That seems to be the case. Oh my god. I won’t get fired for knowing too much, will I? I’ll inform Mr. Thompson right now.
Wait a second. I need to take this call. Hello? Tomorrow morning? Divorce.
Fine. Michael Thompson wants me at 10 a.m. tomorrow. Wear the rosemary and finalize the divorce.
Must be Mr. Thompson. Should I notify him now? No need. I’ll surprise him myself.
Understood. Mr. Thompson, you’re on your own now. Waiting for someone? Emmy.
Why aren’t you resting at the hospital? What brings you here? Are you feeling better? You’re here to get divorced. Exactly. I’m finalizing this divorce today.
You’re my wife. The stingy boss you mentioned is actually me. The clumsy subordinate you mentioned? That’s me.
Let’s go and get divorced. Good thing it’s you. So are we still getting divorced? I won’t get divorced.
Mr. Thompson, Mr. Thompson. Our company’s funds were embezzled by Olivia Bennett. What? How did she get authorization? The old man approved her.
How could I forget about that? Did you call the police? We’ve already called the police. They’re already on their way to arrest her. Understood.
Mr. Thompson, the police have intercepted Olivia Bennett at the airport. They want us there immediately. All right, let’s uh, let’s head over now.
Hello? Your secretary said you’re sick. Which hospital room are you in? Grandpa, I’m not sick. Who said I was hospitalized? Your secretary, Sophia, told me.
Sophia? Grandpa, she’s a wanted criminal now, don’t you? Hello? Hello? Hello? What’s wrong? Grandpa is with Sophia. Taylor Green, take Emmy to the police station. I’ll send you the location later.
I’m coming with you. Okay, let’s go together then. Michael, why aren’t you here yet? I’ve been waiting forever.
If you don’t come soon, this old man will kick the bucket. What did you do to my grandpa? I didn’t do anything. He got sick on his own.
Where the hell are you? You really don’t get me. I love you so much. It’s obviously 520.
-
I love you too. Just come already.
I’m waiting for you. You’re insane. Grandpa.
Do you believe it? I’ll make this old man bleed out right here. Sophia, take your grudge out on me. Don’t hurt grandpa.
How could I bear to treat you like that? I adore you too much for that. What do you really want? I want you, Zaram. Okay, I’ll trade places for grandpa
Michael, let’s swap then. It’ll be fine. Well played, Michael Thompson.
Guess who I really am, and I’ll let you switch. What’s there to guess? You’re Sophia. Can we trade now? Wrong guess.
You don’t remember me at all. But I’m hopelessly in love. Come closer.
Time to make the trade. Naturally. By the way, friendly reminder.
If that old man doesn’t get treated, he’ll die soon. Emmy, take grandpa to the hospital first. Okay, wait for me.
I’ll come back to save you. Let’s go, grandpa. The nuisances are gone
Now it’s just us two. You know what I want, don’t you? You want us to die together. You guessed right.
You really do understand me best. Since I can’t have you in life, I’ll claim you in death. In death? You’ll finally be mine.
Go over there. Whoa, Michael. You’re awake.
Are you feeling any pain? My head hurts. The doctor said you have a mild concussion. Some rest should help.
Good thing I alerted Taylor Green and the police. That was the fifth floor. You just jumped off like that? If anything happened to you, I wouldn’t want to live either.
Don’t talk nonsense. Even if I die, you must keep living well. Ugh, trying to make me angry again? Fine, I’ll stop talking.
Where’s grandpa? Grandpa’s fine. He’s in the next room. Oh, right.
Sophia’s been sent to a mental institution. Mental institution? The police investigation shows the real Sophia lives abroad. The Sophia we knew is actually Ava.
She’s a psychiatric patient escaped after being abused at the institution. Then she stole Sophia’s identity to join Thompson Enterprises. Ava.
Where did this beggar come from? Dare to steal my food? This beggar’s kind of pretty. Want some? Take off your clothes if you want it. I’ll buy you more.
Enjoying the food, okay? Hey. Mind your own business, punk. I suggest you scram right now or I’ll call the cops.
A young lady like you should stay away from drunkards. Got it? Hungry. Food? Wait here.
I’ll be right back. Okay, grandpa. I understand.
I’ll be back soon. Go that way. There’s a police station 500 meters ahead.
Ask the police for help there. Understood? I’m Ava. What’s your name? Michael Thompson.
Michael. Ava. Now I remember.
So it was her. So that’s how it is. No wonder she kept making you say her name.
Grandma. What brings you here? Brought you some homemade snacks. Made them myself.
Healthy and hygienic. Grandma. Your cooking is simply amazing.
Even better than restaurant food. Look at this kid. Always know how to sweet talk.
Really? Heard you fell from the building. Trying to save grandpa. Such a filial child.
Unlike Emmy’s husband. Never comes home all year. I’m sure he has… a mistress outside.
What a scoundrel. Grandma? What affair? That’s nonsense. Non-existent.
Who told you that? The son-in-law next door. From Aunt Guo’s family. He never comes home all year.
Out of nowhere. They say he’s having an affair. Her daughter cries daily.
Heartbroken. Grandma? I believe… Emmy’s husband… wouldn’t do such things. What do you know? He’s nothing like you.
By the way, aren’t you two planning… to be together after divorcing? Hurry up. I want great-grandkids. Grandma.
Actually… He’s the one who never comes home. He… He’s your husband of one year. I must be… getting senile.
Need more sleep. I’ll sleep properly at home. Reset my sleep.
Sleep again? Grandma’s still confused. Let me explain. Grandma? Is Emmy awake? Grandma? What is it? Is Emmy up yet? Still asleep, probably.
Grandma? Breakfast’s ready. Eat first. I’ll wake her.
Get up. Five more minutes. Wake up.
Today’s Ethan and Lucas’s kindergarten sports day. Can’t be late. Grandma will go on my behalf.
Not going. I’m meeting Grandpa Thompson. For Tai Chi.
I’m leaving now. Emily Carter, if you don’t get up… I’ll use extreme measures. Rise and shine.
Michael Thompson. I can’t take this anymore. I want a divorce.
Emily Carter, are you looking for a spanking? You… You are… Just kidding with you. I’m mad at you. Michael Thompson.
Don’t be angry, okay? Not angry. Then I’ll ask you two questions. Answer right and I’ll forgive you.
Go ahead. First one. When did we first meet? Month and date? May 21st.
When did you start liking me? I… Can’t answer, huh? Now I’m really angry. Not angry anymore. From the moment I first saw you.
I already liked you. Blame your ridiculously handsome face. I was totally smitten by your looks.
Mr. Handsome. Mr. Perfect. You’re forgiven.
Let’s get breakfast. Let’s go. Five years.
Ava missed you so much. I know. You don’t like this face of mine.
So this time… I’ll become the person you love. And come back to you.
