Original subtitles

Three years ago, I quit for love and

gained a seemingly perfect fiance.

>> Get some rest. I'll run your bath.

>> Okay,

>> be good.

>> But right before our wedding, I

uncovered his secret.

>> Don't wait, Casey.

What? Scared she'll find out about us?

If you keep rejecting me, the baby will

be upset.

>> You're getting married tomorrow, so

tonight. Satisfy me properly.

>> Fine.

Casey, now you'll give up, right? Once

you're gone, me and this baby can take

our rightful place.

>> So, my perfect fianceé was cheating all

along.

Stupid me. I used all my resources to

promote this mistress just because he

asked.

Ma'am, you've waited here for over an

hour. We're closing soon. Still no

answer from him.

>> Hello,

>> Casey. Melinda got injured during new

staff training. I need to handle this.

We'll reschedule our registration.

>> Reschedule? Lark and White, you think

I'd marry you now? I'm only here to tell

you this. I'll make sure you and Melinda

James pay. Ma'am, are you okay?

I'm fine. This marriage, I'm calling it

off.

Mr. King still can't reach Miss Miller.

Should we send someone? Unnecessary. I

won't wait for a tardy bride.

>> But the chairman insists the wedding

must happen today or he will be held

responsible.

You have 20 minutes to bring me any

woman you can find.

>> Yes,

>> Mr. King.

Mr. King, if you can't find a suitable

candidate, why not consider me? I'm

Casey Young. Let's get acquainted.

It's her Casey. Three years ago, you

gave up your successful career because

of the young heir of Glory

Entertainment. Larkin White, you

completely disappeared. You work for

Lark and White.

>> No, I have no connection with him now.

Mr. King,

please look at my resume first.

Mason King and Larkin White are business

rivals. If I marry him, it'll be a slap

in Larkin's face.

But will he agree?

>> The time Grandpa gave me is running out.

Besides, Casey.

Fine. She's the one. You're the one.

Wait, it's settled.

Mr. King, she's from our competitor.

Enough.

Leave now.

Move closer.

Look here. Ready,

>> Mr. King? Miss Young, congratulations.

>> So, marriage is this simple?

Hey, Mr. Jen.

I have something to discuss.

We're legally married now, but I want

to keep it private.

>> Why?

>> There's something I must handle. It

won't take long.

>> I'll give you 3 months.

Someone will pick you up tomorrow.

>> Pick me up. As husband and wife,

shouldn't we live together? Mrs. Jang,

you've been single for over 30 years,

yet you suddenly got hitched to a hasb

been actress. This is straight out of a

CEO romance novel, coming to life.

Now you can finally report to the

chairman.

You just got married today and the

chairman already knows. He even sent me

a red envelope.

Dig into Casey Young's recent

activities. See if anything's happened

on it.

>> All set. Contact me anytime tomorrow.

>> Okay.

Casey. Oh, Casey. You've really outdone

yourself. Marrying a stranger you

cornered at the registry office. This is

madness. But

>> you'll do.

>> This might work out.

>> Casey, it's Larkin. Open up.

>> Incorrect password entered. Please try

again.

>> Why did Casey change the password? Does

she know about me and Melinda James?

Open the door. Casey,

>> what are you doing here?

>> Belinda's injured. Audition for her role

tomorrow.

Lark and White, you want me to be Jang

Yuming's standin?

>> Casey, Linda got injured all that

training for your staff. She got hurt

for you, yet you won't clean up her

mess. How heartless is that?

>> 3 years ago, I already gave her my

position

and plenty of resources. Now you want me

as her standin? That's too much.

All right. All right, Sith.

I know you're upset. After all, you'll

be Glory Entertainment's future lady.

Caring for your staff is part of your

duties.

>> Right. Your care reached your bed.

I'm considering our future together.

>> Fine, I'll go. I knew you'd agree. I'll

make arrangements.

I was foolish before because I cared too

much about our relationship.

Now I'll make sure you pay for your

betrayal.

Lark and white. Rest assured

this show I'll perform it perfectly.

Hello directors. I'm actress Melinda

James.

Wasn't Melinda supposed to be injured?

Why is she here?

She looks familiar.

>> Casey's acting is decent, right?

>> Of course, Mrs. King's skills outshine

Melinda's tenfold.

Besides, Melinda's acting was taught by

Mrs. King.

That can't be.

>> Though we're legally married, I need to

resolve something. It won't take long.

>> How dare you, Larkin? Using our lady as

a mistress double, I'll expose them.

>> Wait.

Let me see how this act plays out.

>> Why is Manson here? He didn't recognize

me, did he?

After you step on stage, pretend to

faint. That's your mission done.

Then this role goes to Melinda.

>> Naturally.

>> Why hasn't she started acting yet?

>> She can't act for squat. Melinda's just

a pretty puppet. Got roles through

bedroom deals.

>> Mr. King, is madam really capable

enough?

>> My role today is third lead Jane.

action.

How could you abandon me?

Don't be afraid. I'll join you in death.

>> [applause]

>> Melinda actually can act like this.

>> Though only her eyes are visible, you

can clearly see her masterful crying

skills. She's practically Jane in the

flesh.

>> Right. She's the Jane I envisioned.

>> Thank you all. Melinda doing emotional

scenes. That's the joke of the century.

I'm certain you're not the real Raina

Jong.

>> You're her standin, right?

>> Miss James, care to explain?

>> Director, what's the plan? So many

reporters here. What if

>> Judy, watch your accusations. I'll sue

you for slander. slander charges.

>> Go ahead, then have her remove the mask.

Let everyone confirm if she's really

Melinda.

>> Melinda's unwell today. The mask isn't

coming off that easily.

>> Miss James, have you been secretly

honing your craft? Miss James, how

severe is your condition? Why hide

behind a mask?

>> The press is watching.

That mask should be taken off now.

I admit it. I'm not Melinda.

I'm sorry.

to disappoint you all.

>> Casey, didn't you leave the industry?

Casey, why audition as Melinda's proxy?

Do you grasp the breach of ethics?

>> Casey, you planned this to steal

Melinda's role. Is this your comeback

scheme,

>> Mr. King?

>> Casey, who do you think you are

auditioning without authorization?

This industry has no place for you. Get

out.

>> By what right do you expel me?

>> Mr. Leewi Casey hasn't acted in years.

She just wanted a quick thrill. Someone

like her dare replace.

>> Her qualifications

aren't yours to judge.

Is that Mason King? What's he doing

here?

>> I heard their company also invested in

this film. This will be interesting.

>> Stand up.

In my opinion, her acting skills are

remarkable.

What do you think,

>> Director Cruz?

Miss Casey's performance is naturally

impeccable. Her talent was evident to

everyone here. However,

her stepping in as replacement was truly

voluntary.

>> Am I hearing this right? Mr. King

supports Casey. What's their

relationship?

>> Mr. King, what's your implication? Are

you suggesting she was forced into this?

I apologize to everyone though. I've

retired.

I shouldn't be here. But Melinda isn't

well

and this role is crucial. That's why she

asked me.

>> Melinda

contacted Casey herself.

>> Casey.

>> Casey's talent speaks for itself. She

took this role unwillingly. This role

suits her perfectly.

The third female lead was preassigned to

Melinda.

Grand Entertainment invested heavily,

too. Melinda can't portray the

character's essence.

Casey, however, is ideal.

>> We'll proceed as Mr. King suggests.

Thank you, Mr. King. Thank you, Director

Cruz. I want everyone to know that I

am back.

Casey,

did you collude with Judy to expose

yourself? How could you do this to

Melinda?

you.

Okay, I'm leaving now.

>> Thank you. If I caused trouble for

grand,

>> if I feared trouble, would I have

married you? Mrs. King,

>> where are we going?

home.

>> Don't tell me wedding night plans.

>> Feel free to look around first. I'm

going to take a shower.

>> Okay.

>> What are you thinking about, Casey?

This is normal between spouses.

Everything's arranged, Casey. Soon,

everyone will see online Melinda and

Larkin exposing their role buying

scandal.

>> Thank you, Judy.

Recognizing that scumbag and focusing on

your career is good.

But I should warn you, Melinda is

reportedly pregnant. Now that she's

pregnant, her status has skyrocketed.

She'll definitely make Larkin come after

you.

>> She's pregnant.

[music]

When you said you had plans, you meant

revenge against Larkin.

>> You You heard everything.

So when you proposed to me,

that was also to get back at him.

>> I

Yes,

>> Casey.

No one has ever dared to use me so

blatantly before.

>> I'm sorry. If you want a divorce, I

>> divorce.

If we divorce now, your revenge plan

against that scumbag will fall apart.

Don't worry,

I don't enjoy forcing others.

until you're fully prepared.

No coercion. I acted on my own will. I

admit I was the one who proposed

marriage to get back at Lark and White,

but I only wanted to provoke him. Never

thought to exploit your power for

revenge.

From the moment I decided to marry you,

I became yours completely.

If you doubt me, I can.

>> [laughter]

[music]

>> Casey, after tonight, there's no turning

back.

>> I trust you.

Won't make me regret this.

Casey exposed how you bought my role and

posted it online. She's spreading lies

about me. Are you just going to ignore

this?

>> Not necessarily Casey. Casey loves me

too much. If she knew about us, she

would have confronted me.

Who else but her?

>> I'll get to the bottom of this. Won't

let you and our child suffer injustice.

>> You'll pay for this, Casey.

last night.

>> What's wrong?

>> Is this your first time?

>> I never slept with him.

>> Did I do something to make you

unsatisfied?

Don't overthink it. I just don't want to

hurt you.

>> Mason is nothing like what I imagined.

Even after last night, he still didn't

touch me.

[snorts]

>> Hey,

>> Casey. Where were you these days? You

didn't come home or answer calls? I'm

going crazy, you know.

>> Calm down.

I'm coming now.

>> She's here.

>> There she is.

>> Throw things at her. Hit her. That's the

>> Shameless.

Disgusting.

>> Casey, you second rate actress dare

steal Melinda's spotlight? Get lost.

You're just jealous of Melinda and

leaked those scandals trying to climb

over our queen. Drop dead. Die. Casey.

>> Go to hell.

>> Brought in hell.

>> You step back. Let her go. Back off now.

Why is CEO Jang from Grand here again?

What's his deal with Casey? Obviously,

they're sleeping together. She slept her

way to the top, found a new sugar daddy

to make a comeback.

>> Clear them all out. Sue every

troublemaker here. Not a single one

escapes.

See?

Oh no. What a coincidence.

>> Larkin, perfect timing. Speak up for

Melinda now.

>> Rumor says Director Cruz decided to give

Casey the role. How could you let her

steal Melinda's part like this?

>> Everyone remain calm. Our PR team is

already addressing the false claims

online. Evidence will be gathered soon

to dispel rumors from Melinda Casey.

Come here immediately.

Mr. King, thank you for your help. Thank

you.

>> Thanks for earlier, Mr. King.

>> Don't mention it.

>> He's angry.

>> Casey,

how do you know Mason King? Why does he

keep helping you?

Why summon me to the company?

>> You've been gone two days. No, I'd worry

about you.

>> You saw it yourself. Melinda's fans want

to tear me apart. How could I show up?

>> My fault this happened. Your birthday's

approaching. Let's have dinner tonight.

An early celebration.

Melinda's still hospitalized, yet he's

still focused on celebrating my

birthday.

Let's see what tricks you have planned.

Fine,

>> Mr. King. Director Cruz is waiting.

Oh no. What a coincidence.

>> Crap. What are the odds?

Mr. King, we meet again. I heard

Director Cruz wants to discuss casting

with you. Congratulations. Grand

Entertainment will sweep all roles again

>> after you resolve your casting crisis.

Director Cruz might assign roles to your

artists.

>> Fine. I don't believe you. Mason will

overshadow me forever.

>> Enough. Let's go. Let's leave.

Madam is after all the pampered ays of

the young family. Now she's married to

you. Why should she keep dealing with

Larkin and his games?

Perhaps she wants more than just

exposing his true colors.

>> After you.

>> You've been so busy lately yet found

time to prepare all this for me. I'm

your fiance. Caring for you is only

natural. Besides, 3 years ago, you chose

me over your family. I vowed then to

take our company public and marry you

properly.

We're so close to going public now. I

need you to cooperate fully with me.

>> Cooperate. How?

If you just clarify the standin thing,

Melinda isn't involved in this.

We can save her role in the project.

>> So, you came to me today just for her

sake.

>> Larkin, have you forgotten I'm your

fianceé?

>> Casey, our company has poured resources

into Melinda's career. If she gets

cancelled, everything goes down the

drain. If the company fails, how could I

face your parents at the Young Estate?

You dare mention my parents? If they

knew how you're treating their daughter,

guess what they'd do to you.

Casey, I'm out of options here. You saw

it yourself. Mason and Director Cruz are

discussing replacements. We're drowning

in bad publicity. Your statement could

fix everything overnight. Okay.

>> I won't do it.

Where are you going? Restroom.

[music]

>> Casey,

know what I think when I see my wife

having romantic dinner with someone?

Care to guess my thoughts?

I had no idea he planned all this. I

agreed to meet him just to see what he

was up to.

>> My guess, he wants you to take the fall

for the stunt double scam.

>> What's so funny?

>> Larkin's pathetic. No wonder his company

always loses to yours. You caught on

quick.

So, what's your move?

>> I

might play along,

>> Casey.

As Mrs. King. Crushing them is easy. Why

the long game?

>> I know that, but I'll do this my own

way. Agree to be their double. This is

my first step. The second step is

returning to the spotlight.

>> You're using the press conference.

Exactly.

Taking them down is not easy. I need

public visibility again, even through

controversy.

Public opinion is dangerous. Once said,

it sticks. This plan's too risky.

>> Trust me, I've calculated every move.

Their victory won't last.

I should go back. Been away too long.

He'll get suspicious.

>> Mrs. King,

>> are we sneaking around?

>> Mr. King, what honor do I have to

deserve Mason King's secret affection?

Casey, Casey,

where are you?

Casey. Casey, where are you?

Did Casey run away? No, she has to help

me.

Casey. Close [music]

call.

>> Miss Yan, are you seriously treating me

like a secret lover?

>> I just think it's not the right time to

go public.

>> What's there to fear? You're the

rightful Mrs. King.

A small punishment. I don't like my

woman getting cozy with others.

Mrs. King

Casey,

what's so funny?

Where were you just now?

>> I was in the restroom.

>> Wait.

How did your lip get hurt?

>> I think I'm a little stressed.

>> What? You don't think I'm cheating, do

you? Of

course not. I'm just worried about you.

Oh, and Casey about that thing.

>> What have you decided?

>> Let's talk inside.

I can agree to your terms. Tomorrow's

press conference. I'll be there on time.

But I have one condition.

The company shares. When are you

planning to return them?

Casey, there's no need for us to keep

things so separate.

Your investment in me. I remember it.

Once we're married, forget shares. The

whole company is yours.

Okay. After this is all over, I promise

we'll get married right away.

>> I know you'll marry me, but you

understand. After my falling out with my

family, you're all I have. I feel so

insecure.

I just want money to feel safe. As for

the company, I won't interfere. I trust

you. You'll work hard for our future.

[snorts]

>> Okay. I promise you, as long as you

clarify at the standin press conference,

I'll transfer 10% of the company shares

to you.

>> Okay, it's a deal.

>> Thank you all for coming to Glory

Entertainment's press conference. Our

conference will begin shortly.

Casey,

today I've also invited all the

Chronicles of Youth Investors. Yum is

counting on this show to win the Golden

Dagger Award. You have to completely

distance her. Got it.

>> Does that mean Mason will be here?

All

right, we'll now begin the Q&A session.

Casey Young, may I ask why you were

present at the theater rehearsal venue?

Was this motivated by jealousy toward

Melinda or a staged comeback?

Neither. This incident was entirely

accidental. I never intended to replace

Melinda's position. Regarding my

actions, I apologized to Director Cruz

and the public. The false claims

circulating online were my misguided

attempt at publicity. No one else was

involved.

I regret wasting public attention

and accept full responsibility for all

consequences.

Due to Miss Young's personal conduct,

the company has decided to suspend her

activities for 6 months.

Casey, let this incident serve as a

valuable lesson.

>> Casey's clearly envious of Melinda. She

tried to steal her position. What a

schemer.

>> Obviously total white tea She

deserves

>> enough. In light of this, today's press

conference is hereby concluded.

Look, it's Lurk and White with Vivian

Jang.

Who played this? Shut it off now.

>> No [music] way. Isn't Larkin engaged to

Casey Young?

>> So, he's been cheating and made Casey

take the blame. This is explosive. Stop

filming. Turn it off. Turn it off.

>> Lark and White.

>> Is this what you call a model employee?

Casey, let me explain.

>> What's left to explain?

The evidence is right here. 3 years ago,

you made me quit acting, become your

assistant,

promising to marry me after the IPO.

Yet, you slept with the star I created,

betraying me.

This is your gratitude.

>> No wonder Casey quit at her prime. She

fell for a scumbag's lies, then got

cheated on.

>> Mr. King, Casey's completely done with

Glory Entertainment. She's an

award-winning actress. Let's sign her to

Grand Entertainment.

>> True.

Her acting's impeccable.

>> Lark and White,

how could you do this? Disgracing the

Young Family.

>> Casey, this video, it's AI generated.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this footage

is completely fake. Someone is

sabotaging Glory Entertainment. This is

character assassination. We're being

framed. Fake scandals happen all the

time. Don't jump to conclusions over

fake evidence.

>> I can prove

this video is authentic.

Shayla, isn't that Casey Young's agent?

Why is she here?

>> Sis Shayla, what's going on here? I'm

sorry, Casey. I never wanted to reveal

this, but someone wants to harm you, and

I won't allow it.

>> So, you leaked the video?

>> It was me.

To all reporters, I formally accuse Lark

and White, CEO of Glory Entertainment,

of long-term adultery with artist

Melinda,

exploiting Casey's connections to boost

his mistress's career and deceiving

Casey into signing an unfair contract.

I possess evidence of Larkin and

Melinda's affair, as well as the full

terms

of Casey's exploitative contract

agreement.

Look at this. Why was this shared with

me?

>> Base salary 10,000. Termination penalty

1 billion.

>> Unconditional resource provision. This

is worse than sweat shops.

>> Shayla, are you insane?

>> Try me. I've endured you long enough.

you,

>> Lark and White,

you've lied to me all along.

>> In that case,

our engagement is over.

I apologize.

This press conference is now concluded.

Casey, wait for me.

Move aside.

>> What a spectacular show.

>> Lark and White, this is just the

beginning. What you owe me will be

repaid 100fold.

Thanks, Shayla. Glad you're helping me.

Now you and Larkin are officially at

war. What's your next move? I'm taking

back my shares and resources. All of

them.

>> This won't be easy.

>> No worries. I've got you helping me. And

>> Mrs. King

>> sir is here to pick you up.

>> Mrs. King, you've got the wrong person.

>> All right,

Casey. Since when did you become

someone's wife? Wait, even if you want

to crush Larkin and Melinda, don't go

down this path. You're still young. with

a bright future ahead.

>> Shayla, I never told you I'm actually

married.

>> Casey, you.

>> Mr. King.

I'm Mason King. May I take my wife back

now?

>> Damn it. Your husband is Mason King.

>> Mrs. King,

let's go.

Was

everything today?

Part of your plan?

>> Yes.

>> You're bolder than I imagined.

I stored our memories in the church for

3 years. Now I need to end this

completely.

Mr. King got a light.

From today onward,

I'm living for myself.

satisfied with revenge.

>> No, this is just the beginning.

But after this press conference,

I've offended Director Cruz and multiple

investors. My reputation's ruined.

We'll deal with the fallout. Let's go.

Casey,

do you still want to act?

Even though you left the industry, your

acting skills remain exceptional.

Director Cruz is interested in having

you reprise Jane's role.

You should consider accepting.

>> Why are you helping me so much?

Because

>> Because

>> you're the best fit.

>> Is that the only reason

Sis Melinda, isn't this too flashy right

after discharge? Not very appropriate.

[music]

You don't understand.

Larkin must have reclaimed my role for

me by now. I'll face the press looking

my absolute most stunning.

Let's [music] go. They'll get impatient.

Look, Melinda's coming out.

>> This spectacle. No one in showbiz can

rival me.

>> Wow, she's gorgeous.

>> Hello, everyone. Be careful, everyone.

Watch your steps.

>> My Miss James, when did your affair with

President B begin?

>> How do you explain the leaked video

circulating online?

[music]

>> How did you get this video?

So, you admit to being the other woman?

>> I admired you so much, but you're just a

home wrecker stealing fiance.

Seems the scumbag is panicking. He

called dozens of times.

Wants your PR cooperation.

Melinda's pregnancy isn't public yet.

This is just the appetizer. Epic move.

>> Enough work talk. You're such a

workaholic. But today's your birthday.

Take a proper break.

>> Birthday.

Why no messages?

Chairman Young might still be angry.

You're the Young family's soul aires. He

must adore you.

Even when furious before he celebrated

my birthday,

but this year,

no, I'll reclaim what's mine. Won't

disappoint father again.

Casey Young, I'll make her pay.

>> Oh ho, what's wrong? Looking miserable.

>> You dare mock me? Do you realize how

humiliated I was before the press?

>> Relax.

The company's handling the crisis

urgently. As for the role, I'll secure

it for you.

>> The film Youth has top tier creators.

Landing that role would boost my best

actress bid.

You promised, Lurin, before I deliver,

you'd get me the Golden Blade award.

Don't worry. Once we find Casey, I'll

make her fix this scandal. We'll claim

we broke up long ago. They'll blame her,

not you.

Want Casey's location? Come to East

Silver Cafe now.

>> Fine, I'll handle it. Wait here.

Thought you invited me just for company.

Not for another man.

I invited you to watch drama unfold. Got

a problem?

>> How should I assist?

>> No assistance needed.

Actually, I need to discuss something

regarding last night's conversation.

I've decided my decision is made. I'll

return to player.

>> Mrs. King, this is your wisest decision

yet.

He should be here soon.

>> Let's go.

>> Not staying.

Hello. The number is unreachable.

No.

Fine.

Accompany me somewhere.

How dare you trick me?

>> Sir, are you Mr. White?

>> What is it?

>> Ms. Young asked me to give this to you.

>> Within 3 days, withdraw Melinda from

Golden Blade best actress race. In

exchange, I'll assist your PR campaign.

>> Conc.

[music]

>> In my name, blacklist her industrywide.

>> How did you know today is my birthday?

>> Of course, I know my wife's birthday.

So beautiful.

>> Give me your hand.

>> It's gorgeous.

>> This is too expensive.

>> Trying to save me money. To be honest,

I have more money than I need.

>> So, I married a tycoon.

>> This amount is nothing to your family.

It's trivial.

>> Are you mocking me?

>> I was thinking

now that you see Bafon clearly,

why not return to your family?

Be the AIS again?

>> I cut ties with my family three years

ago.

gave all my savings to Larkin for his

company.

If I can't recover the money,

how can I face going back?

Enough. Let's drop this. It's your

birthday.

Happy birthday, Mrs. King.

like it.

>> You're different from rumors. They

weren't wrong.

>> What do they say about me,

arrogant,

tyrannical, or heartless?

>> Do you?

>> I'm no saint.

But their perception isn't the real me.

Then today I want to see the real you.

Are you sure you're ready?

>> Just one request.

Be gentle.

I'm delicate.

>> [snorts]

>> You're awake.

Time to get up. I have something for

you.

All these are for me.

Since you're returning to showbiz, these

essentials are necessary.

Madame King, this is just the beginning.

Mr. King instructed us to prepare a

walk-in closet filled with clothes and

jewelry exclusively for you.

Director King, we have a problem. Larkin

declared last night that he'll blacklist

Madam industrywide investors are causing

trouble demanding to remove Madam from

her role.

Mr. White, Time of Youth starts filming

soon. Banning Casey now? Where can I

find a better Jane than Casey?

Casey left the industry 3 years ago.

She's lost her touch.

Melinda is the only Jane we need.

>> He's right, Director Cruz. Casey's been

irrelevant for years. She brings zero

buzz. I'll give this film the impact it

deserves.

Casey's washed up. Even if we cast her,

she'd bomb it.

>> What if I say I can?

Sorry to

>> disappoint you. I'm perfect for Jane. No

doubts.

>> You've got nerves showing up.

>> Keep your distance. Let's avoid rumors,

right, Melinda?

Casey, how dare you? Larkin's your boss.

Show some respect.

>> Know your place.

>> You hit me.

>> Casey, where have you been? Causing

chaos. Get out.

>> Fine.

Return my shares and I'm gone. Deal.

>> What shares?

>> Here's news.

Your sugar daddy's

startup cash. That was mine.

>> Do the press conference.

>> You promised if I cleared Melinda's

name, you'd return my shares. Where's

your honor?

Keeping your word.

>> Mr. White rode a woman's coattails.

>> Larkin, what's she implying? Say

something.

>> Casey, you're really burning bridges.

What if I am?

>> Fine. Remember this.

Hear this. Anyone who hires Casey Young

crosses brilliant entertainment.

I, Larkin White, will crush them.

Bold threats. Mr. White.

Mr. White has quite the nerve.

Mason King.

>> Why is Mr. King here? He never gets

involved in these matters. Shut it. Mr.

King's the top dog in the entertainment

industry. Keep talking and you'll regret

it.

>> Him again.

>> Miss Young, we meet again.

>> Mr. King.

>> Apologies everyone. A meeting ran late.

No problem. Mr. King, we're discussing

Jane's casting, but there's a

disagreement.

Mr. King, Miss Young you endorsed is now

blacklisted, Mr. White suggests,

reverting to Miss Melinda. Ms. James

never auditioned. How does that hold up?

>> Mr. King, she took my spot while I was

hospitalized. Stole my identity. That's

why I missed the audition.

>> Is that so?

Very well. We'll proceed Mr. White's

way.

As for Miss Young,

>> I'd like to invite you to star in Years

of Passion as the lead. What do you say,

>> Mr. King? Casting the lead actress is

crucial. We can't choose someone out of

mere spite.

>> Director Cruz Casey is a triple crown

winning actress. Her acting skills are

impeccable. She's fully qualified for

the lead role. But our CEO, Mr. King,

has high hopes for youth. We're

investing 500 million more.

With this 500 million investment, Mason

gets full casting authority. If he's

investing this heavily, could it be for

Casey?

>> This decision seems rather abrupt.

>> Your talent is undeniable. [music]

You're perfect for this role.

Mr. King Casey's just a washed up

actress. She can't be the lead.

>> When I won three major awards, you were

still a nobody. I'm unworthy. You're

>> That was then. You're irrelevant now.

How dare you challenge me?

>> Your current fan base. Can't match

Casey's prime following.

Mr. King, are you opposing me

deliberately?

Mr. White, few dare oppose Grand

Entertainment.

You're not one of them.

>> Accept this role, Casey, and you'll lose

everything at Glory Entertainment.

>> Then know this. I'm here today to make

it clear. I'll take the shares and the

lead in youth.

Mr. King,

I'll play this role.

Mr. White,

this isn't over.

>> Lurin, are you letting Casey bully me

like this? You promised to make me best

actress.

Promised me and our baby the best life.

>> Mr. White, this isn't over.

>> No.

How could Casey do this to me?

>> Larkin. Larkin.

>> Is this the power of money?

>> Your husband's power.

>> Madam, you should know. When Mr. King

heard you were mistreated, he rushed

here immediately.

Meeting adjourned. I'll handle this.

Since you love acting so much, I'll get

you a proper role.

Casey, come with me. We need to talk.

>> Larkin White, unless it's about repaying

debts, we have nothing to discuss.

>> Mr. White, she has nothing to say to

you.

>> Mason, don't think I don't know what

you're plotting with Casey. She's the

Yan family erys and my fiance. Do you

think she's your pet canary?

>> Lark and White, don't assume everyone's

like Melinda, sleeping their way up.

Final warning. We're no longer engaged.

Stop spreading lies.

>> Fine, explain this.

>> Why would he help you?

>> Why should I tell you move?

>> Mr. White,

what you've discarded

>> isn't worth reclaiming.

Last warning, stay away from Casey.

>> [music]

>> Miss Casey, your features are absolutely

stunning. No wonder they call you the

most gorgeous face in showbiz.

>> Thank you.

>> Oh, right.

>> Mr. King sent this dress for you. The

premiere ceremony is about to start. You

should get changed now. Call me if you

need anything. [music]

>> Mason sent me this.

I picked this gown for you. Hope you

like it.

You look breathtaking today.

>> What brings you here?

>> I couldn't wait to see how you look in

it.

3 years off the stage. nervous

>> a little.

>> I'm having second thoughts

>> about what?

>> That I didn't go public with us sooner.

>> We can announce it whenever you want.

>> Let's wait till the film wraps up. When

I'm fully back in the spotlight,

then I can proudly become your Mrs. Jang

openly.

Casey, Casey's here. Hurry,

>> Casey. After a three-year hiatus, you're

back. Is this related to your breakup

with Lin?

>> Miss Casey, are you wearing Judy's

exclusive Fantasia collection piece? How

did you acquire this?

>> I had no idea this dress is so precious.

I'd prefer if everyone focused on my

work rather than my personal life. Thank

you.

>> All right, everyone. We're starting

filming now. Interviews will resume

later. Thanks for your hard work.

>> Good day, director.

Mr. King,

why would you buy me such an expensive

gown?

>> Your satisfaction is enough.

>> That Judy gown's custom made for elite

clients. How did she get it? Rumors say

a gentleman purchased it. Is Casey being

someone's mistress?

>> Exactly.

After that dress was bought, Judy

terminated our company's sponsorship

deal.

Could it be Casey and her sugar daddy

are behind this?

Investigate immediately. Find out who

purchased that dress.

After leaving me, you're sinking so low.

>> Casey,

this is your comeback series. Make it

count.

>> Thank you for this opportunity,

director. I'll dedicate myself to

perfecting this role. My gratitude to

Mr. King too.

>> Mason King bought that dress.

>> It was him.

>> Casey.

Casey.

So, this explains why Judy suddenly

canled Glory Entertainment's

sponsorship. So, it's your doing all

along. Casey, how could you stoop so

low?

Aren't you always flaunting your moral

superiority? How come you're stooping to

prostituting yourself for fame?

Casey, you're still technically under

contract with our agency, conspiring

with outsiders against us. What's your

game?

>> Have you lost your mind? None of your

accusations have anything to do with me.

>> Mr. White, I'd advise you to watch your

words.

>> Mason, stop playing the virtuous saint.

Can you honestly claim you didn't buy

her this dress?

>> That's my personal business.

The press is watching. Let's keep this

civil.

>> Glory Entertainment's contribution to

Judy has always been marginal. The only

reason they sponsored was out of respect

for Casey. You'd never have gotten their

support.

As for this gown, yes, I bought it. I

can afford it and I choose to. That's my

prerogative. Mr. White, does that

satisfy you?

>> Mr. Jang, you've certainly gone all out

for Casey.

But does your precious darling?

I know.

She used to cling to me. Just last

month, she begged me to marry her. You

dare hit me?

>> Need to knock some sense into your

blabbering nonsense again?

>> Am I wrong? Huh? It's barely been a

month. He's already splurging millions

on you. Now he's teamed up against me. I

bet you two have been sleeping together

all along.

>> With your nasty scheming ways, you've

only brought this on yourself.

>> You

lay a finger on her again. I dare you.

>> Larkin, are you okay?

>> I'm holding all the cards here. Don't

test my limits. Don't make me go nuclear

on you.

>> You all right?

Enough everyone. Let's take the set

ceremony photos.

>> How did that Casey even snag Mr. King's

favor?

>> Use any means necessary. Casey must be

kicked off the set.

Get security to Shadow Yangi discreetly.

Keep her safe at all costs.

>> Understood.

Boss King was so cool at the scene

yesterday. Watching that jerk and his

floozy loose face. So satisfying.

Given their personalities, we'll

probably see this drama repeat many

times.

Y'all,

>> if it isn't washed up star Casey Young

here to cause more trouble for

production. That standin incident caused

enough scandal already. If I were you,

I'd quit voluntarily. Stop burdening the

crew. [music]

>> So, you're saying our Casey doesn't

belong here?

If anyone doubts my ability, [music]

I'll prove myself through my acting

skills.

If your acting sucks, get out of here.

[music]

>> Deal.

>> Fine. If your acting passes muster,

we'll apologize.

>> Done.

[snorts]

Where's Melinda?

>> Right here.

Director, my apologies.

Just got discharged. Health's been poor.

Hope you'll understand.

Everyone to first scene. Jane confronts

lead at pool.

>> Thanks for your support. I won't let you

down.

>> Ms. James' current acting skills. I

won't comment, but her daily performance

is quite impressive.

better than it has been like you.

>> Casey,

I'll make you feel inadequate.

>> Then I'm truly

looking forward to it.

>> All right, first scene set up.

>> Scene one. One, all departments ready.

>> Standby. Rolling. 3 2 1. Scene one, take

one.

Ann, you promised overseas 3 years ago

that you'd marry me. I've waited all

these years. How could you betray me?

[music]

>> Melinda's acting. How is it getting

worse?

>> Oh my goodness, your delivery is way too

over the top. Jane is heartbroken, but

not like this. Less is more. Understand?

>> Let me try again.

>> Again,

>> you promised to marry me.

>> Cut.

>> An

>> cut.

>> An

>> for goodness sake. Cut.

>> An

>> cut.

>> An

>> Melinda, your lifeless breath and

wandering gaze. Who taught you this? Do

you even know how to act?

>> I learned everything from Casey Young.

>> I never taught you that.

>> Director Cruz, I just can't get into

character. How about this? Let Casey

demonstrate this scene.

>> Yes, director.

Since she's an award-winning actress,

show us your skills.

>> Yeah, teach us how it's done.

Well,

>> don't blame me if I embarrass myself.

>> Quick, get ready. Casey's taking the

stage.

Let's see how you'll embarrass yourself.

an

3 years ago you promised to marry me.

I waited year after year

only to be betrayed by you.

>> Jane, it's not what you think. They're

just colleagues. Annne Lewis, do you

think I'm naive?

These three years,

I've dreamt every day of being a good

wife,

but received endless heartache

and humiliation.

>> Let her continue.

>> I heard

you're married now.

In that case, let's

end this completely.

This is

what real acting looks like. This is

moan.

>> Mason,

>> good job.

>> Thanks. What brings you here? I was

passing through on business. Thought I'd

check on my handpicked lead. See if

you're living up to my expectations.

>> Is this Melinda?

>> Didn't you say Casey's

>> acting was terrible and completely

untalented?

This doesn't match your story at all.

>> Exactly. And she seems close with Mr.

King. What if he retaliates for how we

treated her?

>> Relax. I'll handle any fallout.

Casey, we're sorry we misjudged you

before.

Surviving this industry isn't as easy as

you think. Don't let others manipulate

you.

>> We won't repeat this mistake.

>> Let's go.

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> Coastal City is 80 km away. That's your

idea of on the way.

>> Problem, Mrs. King. don't want me around

or just hiding our relationship.

>> Not this [music] again.

>> Just checking if everything's going

smoothly.

[music]

Casey,

what's wrong? Shayla.

What happened? While you were filming, I

noticed this dress was missing. Searched

everywhere and found it in the trash.

Such an expensive dress has several cuts

from scissors.

Seems like work isn't going smoothly,

but [music] don't worry, I'll handle it.

Let's go.

>> Miss James,

>> care to explain.

>> Isn't this your Judy Coutur? Why is it

damaged now?

>> Drop the act. I checked surveillance

after you entered the dressing room. My

dress got slashed and trashed. Shouldn't

I question you?

>> Many people went in there. Why accuse me

specifically?

>> Don't think Mr. Jang's protection lets

you slander me freely.

>> You deny even this?

>> I didn't do it. Why should I admit?

Slandering brings karma. Casey,

dear live stream viewers, you all

witnessed Casey bullies newcomers. It's

exactly like the exposed video.

Now she's framing me for ruining her

dress. Justice for me, please.

>> You're live streaming.

>> These three actresses had already been

kicked off the set by Casey Young. We're

all from the same company. Who would

have thought she wouldn't even spare me?

>> Look at this, Casey.

We're publicly exposing.

>> K's bullying us on set.

>> Forcing us to bow and apologize.

>> Surviving in this industry isn't as

simple as you might think. Don't let

others manipulate you.

I wondered why they'd provoke me for no

reason, then suddenly came to apologize.

You orchestrated this.

>> I don't know what you mean. Darlings, I

need to clear things up with Casey about

this. I'll go live when I'm free.

>> Casey Young, the whole crew knows you're

bullying actors. How can you still show

your face here?

>> So, these two are your spies.

>> That's irrelevant. What matters is you

falsely accuse me during my live stream.

Casey, if you don't clarify this,

cyber bullying will destroy you.

>> Whether it's false, let's check security

footage. Mr. King, could you please

Mr. King, why are you here?

>> I rented this villa to the crew. Why

shouldn't I be here?

>> This has nothing to do with me.

>> Was this you're doing? The truth will

come out soon.

This is my assistant. My assistant did

everything. How about this? I apologize

on their behalf.

>> Melinda Jing. I knew you'd lack courage

to own your actions. Now I'll have to

let your fans identify

the real culprit. When did you start

streaming?

>> When did you start the live stream?

>> Just now. I should thank you for giving

me this convenient opportunity to

clarify.

Casey sure is brilliant.

>> Miss James, the evidence is right here.

Won't you admit it now?

>> I

>> I did it all. Melinda had nothing to do

with it.

>> Joy, how could you do such a thing?

>> Ms. young. I couldn't bear seeing you

bully Miss James, so I cut your dress.

She's completely innocent. Blame me if

you must.

>> Then please recall exactly when and

where you supposedly discarded the dress

and where it ended up.

>> I I

>> Melinda, the truth is undeniable.

Stop scheming already.

>> You've overwhelmed her with questions.

How about this? Mr. King, I apologize on

behalf of my assistant to Miss Young.

We'll compensate you accordingly.

Melinda, I underestimated your audacity.

Mr. King, this dress belongs to you. How

would you like to handle this?

>> Given the circumstances,

this is the only solution.

This dress costs 30 million.

Out of respect for President White's

reputation, we'll discount it, too. 20

million. Transfer it to Casey's account.

>> How is this dress so expensive?

>> What? Can't afford it?

>> President White, surely he can produce

20 million UN.

>> Casey,

here's an idea. I'll have the dress

professionally repaired. Would that

work?

>> Your apology. Miss James is unworthy of

acceptance. Moreover, your live stream

slander demands separate accountability.

I haven't forgotten that. Here's a

proposal. I'll kneel an apology.

>> Save your theatrics. Since you've

confessed, let the police handle it.

>> Casey, this isn't over yet.

>> Melinda.

Melinda.

Casey. Melinda is pregnant. How could

you push her? which I saw me push her.

>> Sir White, they slandered Casey first.

If you want to blame her, investigate

properly first.

>> Mr. White.

>> She kept interrogating Melinda about

cutting her dress. She even demanded we

kneel and apologize. When Melinda

refused, she pushed her to the ground.

>> You.

>> Unbelievable. How shameless can you be?

The whole process was live streamed.

Want to see the replay? She fell on her

own. Casey did nothing wrong.

>> Don't argue with them. It's not worth

it. I didn't I didn't

>> I only believe what I saw.

>> Then compare your eyesight with

surveillance footage. Which is more

reliable?

>> My stomach hurts.

>> So much blood.

>> Quick, call an ambulance.

Casey Melinda feud escalates again.

Insider reveals Melinda miscarried after

assault. Mastermind is Casey Young.

>> Shocking twist. Evidence suggests Casey

Young powerful backers intervened. All

posts about Casey removed online.

Casey, we released the pool surveillance

footage. You didn't push Jang Melinda,

but her sudden miscarriage. Apart from

online trolls calling her shameless,

many fans are calling to boycott you.

>> Public opinion favors, those who play

victim.

If you hadn't left acting and lost fan

support, they couldn't control the

narrative like this. Online backlash

doesn't bother me much. My main concern

is Time of Youth's production and

release. I've poured my heart into this.

Can't let them ruin it.

>> What's your next move?

Should we shift focus to their

infidelity?

[snorts]

>> No need. I'll confront them directly.

>> Don't go.

Public rage is at its peak going out

now. Risks mob attacks from her fans.

Let me handle this.

Let me handle this.

>> Mason, this is between me and those two.

I need to settle it myself.

You've done enough already.

I'll be careful. Wait for me.

>> I'm sorry. We couldn't save the baby.

Sex in first trimester causes uterine

contractions and miscarriage. Couldn't

you control yourself?

>> Sex?

Since she got pregnant, we haven't sleep

together.

Larkin,

you doubt me? Casey pushed me. The shot

killed our baby. It's her fault.

>> Actually, strenuous activity can also

cause miscarriage. If there's nothing

else, I'll take my leave.

>> I just wanted Casey off the production,

but she killed my child. Now, even you

question me.

Calm down, Melinda.

I believe you. Here's what we'll do.

I'll make Casey kneel and apologize to

you.

>> Save your energy.

I'm already here.

>> You're only apologizing now? A bit too

late, don't you think,

>> Casey? I never imagined you could be so

heartless. You even targeted my unborn

child. How could you go that far?

>> Who said you can't act? You're putting

on quite a show.

>> Casey, you caused Melinda's miscarriage.

And now you're here to torment her.

What's your game?

>> I was wrong. Wrong to ever spare your

dignity.

I warned you not to push me. Don't blame

me if we end up in mutually assured

destruction.

These documents, this is enough to put

you away for years.

You dared to secretly check the

company's financial records.

>> Oh, there's more.

>> Records of you exploiting female artists

to provide services for your business

partners.

>> What do you want?

>> Clear my name online. Fire Melinda from

the crew. And let me finish filming Time

and Tide undisturbed. No way. Who gave

you that right?

>> That's all.

>> That's all.

>> Larkin, don't listen to her.

You can't take her side.

>> Think carefully. Give me your answer

today or else this offer expires.

Melinda, lay low for a while. I'll pave

the way for you to become the highest

paid star.

>> I refuse. This can't happen. Do you know

how hard I work to get where I am? Why

should I retreat just because she says

so? Why me?

>> Not a real retreat. We're just dealing

with Casey first. She's our biggest

threat. I'm doing this for our future

together.

>> You're saying

>> I can't handle her myself, but there's

someone who can teach her a brutal

lesson.

>> You're back.

>> I'm exhausted.

>> How did it go?

It's up to them.

Truth is, unless absolutely necessary,

I'd rather not expose all that dirty

laundry. All these years, Larkin's been

running the company.

But I still feel connected to it. Can't

let it get destroyed by them.

>> It's all right. Take your time. You'll

get what you deserve.

>> Why aren't you back in bingching? Not

busy. eager to get rid of me?

>> Not at all. Tell you what, after I

finish filming, dinner's on me.

>> Trying to buy me off with food.

>> Mrs. King, I require more convincing.

>> What's on your mind? I I just

need me to show you how.

up so early.

It's been a whole day, but no word from

Larkin yet. Seems like he's determined

to stand his ground.

>> It's fine. Do whatever you want. I've

got your back,

>> Mr. King. Spoiling me like this, you'll

make me depend on you.

>> Then never leave me.

I'm heading back to Coastal City today.

Stay safe on set while I'm away. Contact

me if anything happens.

>> Okay.

>> My body feels like falling apart.

>> Casey,

all the irregular accounts at Glory

Entertainment and violation evidence

have been compiled. When will you

release them?

>> After filming Youth wraps up. Let them

bask in glory a bit longer.

Why would dad suddenly call me? Did

something happen at home?

>> Dad, what's wrong?

>> Quzy young, get home immediately.

>> Alert, Mr. King. The madam is missing.

Casey,

Casey, you're finally in my grasp.

Casey, you're finally in my clutches.

>> Who the hell are you? I don't even know

you.

>> Don't know me. Remember this arm you

destroyed

3 years ago? I was just drunk and

brushed against you at the bar. Yet you

sent thugs to crush my arm. Made me a

Sweetheart, alone tonight. Come here.

Give me a kiss. You're mine tonight.

>> Let go of me.

>> Kiss. Kiss.

Watch your hands,

Mr. Scott.

>> Lan,

aren't women just meant to be laid?

>> You're drunk, Mr. Scott.

>> Get lost.

>> You,

>> Larkin, forget it. We're here for

sponsorships. Don't start conflicts.

>> I'll eventually make you mine.

This is the hand that touched her. Who

are you?

all these years. Ly and shielded you

well. If you two hadn't fallen out

recently, he'd never have revealed your

whereabouts.

Did Boofan send you?

>> No need to know. Bring it on.

I'll rip your arm off so you taste my

agony from years ago.

>> Wait,

what trick are you pulling now? I I

still want to act. You can't my

arm.

I was ungrateful back then. Now I I just

want to sincerely apologize to you. I'll

accept whatever you decide.

>> Mr. Scott Larkin says she's the most

cunning. Maybe we should.

>> With so many of you here, I can't

possibly escape.

>> Mr. Scott, my apology comes from the

heart.

>> Casey, I told you years ago you can't

escape my grasp.

>> Mr. Scott, stand down.

Come on. Show me how you plan to

apologize.

Mr. Scott,

by taking what matters most.

You dare to touch me in your next life.

>> [music]

>> gods.

[music]

Casey,

you're not getting away.

how dare you trick me?

Go ahead and kill me if you dare. The

Youngs will make you pay.

>> The Young family? Do you really think

you're still the spoiled princess of the

Young family?

>> Breaking news. Young Corporation has

announced Chairman Ewan Young is cutting

ties with his daughter Casey. Effective

today.

Face reality. Casey. You're not the

privileged Aerys anymore.

>> Impossible.

Larkin, it's you. Did you tell my father

something?

>> I I just showed him proof you sold

yourself to Mason. Never thought he'd

disown you. He completely lost it and

cut you off without hesitation.

>> Casey, without the young family's

protection, let's see how long your

smuggness lasts.

>> Larkin,

aren't you afraid I'll expose the

evidence against you?

>> Go ahead and try at this point. Do you

really think anyone would believe you?

>> Casey, Mr. Scott, everything has been

set up.

>> You'll be staying here tonight to

entertain our host properly.

>> This slot is Mason's mistress.

>> Yes, Mr. Scott. She acts all prim and

proper, but after Larkin dumped her, she

immediately slept her way to the top.

That mason acts all cold. But this

must have special tricks to get into his

bed. Tonight, I'll

find out exactly what she's got to

offer.

>> Get off, touch me, and

>> Mason will make you pay.

>> You think Jang Mochin's some saint? He's

been investigating you for 5 years.

>> What are you implying?

What do you mean?

>> Want to know? Then serve me well tonight

and I'll tell you.

>> Get lost. I won't believe your lies.

>> Suit yourself. Investigate and you'll

see the truth. Such a charming face you

have. No wonder Mr. White fell for you

and kept Mr. King obsessed.

>> Enough, Director Scott. She's in your

hands now before the Golden Thorn Awards

voting keep her confined.

>> Don't worry. During this period, I'll

take good care of her.

>> Casey, victory will be mine this time.

Let's go, Lurin. The Golden Thorn judges

are waiting.

>> Stop resisting, Casey. Mason is no saint

either. Just come with me. In your

dreams, lunatic, you're insane.

>> Step aside,

>> Casey.

Casey.

>> Mason.

>> I'm late. Casey.

>> Who gave you the guts

>> to touch my woman?

>> She's just your mistress, Mr. King. No

need to get so worked up.

Let me show you a joke, too.

Hope you don't mind.

Compile all the dirty deeds of Scott

Corporation and hand them over to the

police. I'll make Scott Corporation

disappear from binching. [music]

>> Yes, sir. Mr. King, please don't. It was

It was Lark and White made me do this. I

didn't know Miss Casey was with you,

>> Scott. Bastard. You're just seeking

revenge

>> for that severed arm 3 years ago.

>> How dare you bite the hand that fed you?

>> Let me make this clear. Your severed arm

has nothing to do with me.

>> Why won't you admit it now?

>> I didn't do it. Why should I admit?

>> Who else could it be?

>> Larkin was a pathetic worm back then.

He'd never stand up for you.

>> Larkin wouldn't.

But I will.

>> Your arm.

>> I did it.

>> It's you. Why? We've never had enmity.

Why would you do this?

>> So 3 years ago, you two were together

behind my back.

>> Lin, do you think everyone's as petty as

you?

Mason,

what's really going on here?

We didn't even know each other 3 years

ago.

Are you sure we didn't know each other 5

years ago when you debuted at Golden

Thorn Film Festival?

We met.

Excuse

me. Could you take a photo for me? It's

my first time at a film festival. Want a

keepsake?

These photos are amazing. Are you a

professional photographer? Starting your

career? Want to sign with my agency?

>> If I join your company,

will you make me an award-winning

actress?

>> Casey, where have you been? My agent's

looking for me. Thanks. Got to go.

>> Casey Young rings a bell. That name, the

Young family shares your name. Ladies

and gentlemen,

let's celebrate Casey Young for winning

the 32nd Golden Thorn Best Newcomer

award.

[applause]

Congratulations, Mr. White.

You're that photographer guy from

before.

Mason King, no wonder you've been

undermining me at every turn. You

targeted Casey from the start.

Mason King, I didn't expect this. So,

you used to be a mistress.

>> The one who has no right to speak here

is you.

I do like Casey,

but I never thought of having her.

Besides, over the years, countless

actresses have been harassed by director

Scott Breaking. That arm is letting you

off easy.

Within 3 days, I want to see this person

brought to justice. Take him away.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Director King,

>> go.

>> Spare me, Director King.

>> As for them,

it's up to you. Casey, for the sake of

our relationship,

please spare me and Melinda.

>> Melinda,

you just killed my baby. Do you still

want to kill me? Your lives are

worthless in my eyes. What I want to see

is you slowly being destroyed.

>> I will in my name issue a statement

effective immediately.

All brands under the Grand Group.

We'll remove all works of Gloria

Entertainment

and permanently ban them.

>> Larkin, what do we do?

>> Wait, Casey, I can help you terminate

your labor contract

as long as you spare Glory

Entertainment.

That way, I'll not only help terminate

your contract, but also wave the 1

billion UN penalty if you just have him

withdraw his decision.

>> Larkin, give me my freedom now. Is this

admitting defeat?

>> I never thought of going against you.

You forced me to do all of this.

>> I forced you.

What did I force you to do?

>> Did I force you to cheat on me? Did I

force you to take my shares? Or did I

force you to team up with others to get

revenge

within 2 days?

Return my shares to me. Otherwise, I

will make you go down

>> with Glory Entertainment.

>> Are you trying to force me to death?

Are you okay?

Law, are you all right?

I'll call the doctor to address your

wounds.

>> Don't you have anything to say?

>> Leave the rest to me. I'll handle

everything.

>> Mason, I'm seriously upset now.

After all this time together, you never

told me. We've actually met before.

But more than that,

I feel fortunate

that even back then,

someone cared for me so deeply.

Thank you.

It's just

I feel like I can't live without you.

>> Just can't live without me.

Casey, answer me

>> then. I

shall answer with actions.

Lark in the plan for my best actress

title.

>> Best actress. Best actress.

If you were more capable, would I need

to get it for you?

>> What do you mean? The Golden Thorn

Awards ceremony is in 2 months. Do you

want that Casey to steal my spot again?

No, I can't just sit back.

Before Casey reclaims Glory

Entertainment,

>> I must transfer all assets.

>> Right.

>> Let's do it.

>> Larkin. Larkin White.

>> Hello. Contact Director Walker for me.

If they can get me the best actress

title, [music] I'll pay any price.

Since you can't give me what I want,

I have no choice but to betray you.

Casey, Sister Shayla,

>> are you okay?

I should have protected you better.

>> I'm fine. What's that in your hand?

>> From Larkin, your termination agreement.

I've reviewed it. Everything's in order.

Sign this and you'll be free.

>> Wait,

let me see that.

>> No issues. Sign it.

Casey, Mr. King's being so attentive.

You finally seen the light.

Until the stock shares are returned,

anything could happen.

Right. We must get those shares back.

They're your life's work. Don't let

others profit from it.

>> You're right.

Yes,

understood.

>> Casey, attended dinner with me.

>> Who's coming?

>> Your father.

>> When did you contact my dad?

>> Relax. This was inevitable.

Dad.

>> Mr. Yan.

>> Don't call me Dad. I don't deserve that

title.

>> Just say what you want. I have things to

do.

>> Mr. Young. Casey and I are married.

>> You You'd rather spend the rest of your

life sold to Mason King than come home

and admit defeat.

>> Dad, it's not what you think. Let me

explain.

>> Casey,

5 years ago, you insisted on joining

Showbiz. I didn't stop you. Later, you

cut ties with the family for Larkin. You

cut ties with the family for Bouanon. I

didn't stop you either. But now

you've sunk so low as to sell yourself

for profit.

Looks like we have nothing to discuss.

>> Dad, please hear me out.

>> I have nothing to say.

>> Mr. Young, since you agreed to come, it

proves you still care about her. Then

why don't you let her explain herself?

>> I heard you took down the Scott family

overnight. If I hadn't come, who knows

if you would target the Youngs. Dad,

Mason wouldn't do that.

>> Do you know the day you announced you

were downing Casey that day? Larkin and

Ethan kidnapped Casey together.

You almost lost Casey forever.

>> What? This

those two animals.

>> Dad, it's not that I didn't want to come

home. I was afraid to come home. After

Larkin cheated, he took over Glory

Entertainment. If I don't take back what

belongs to me, how could I face you?

>> What? That kid dared to do that?

>> So, this is our second reason for

inviting you. I heard recently by law

has been consulting about transferring

assets.

The Youngs have connections in finance.

So, I'd like to ask you to do us a

favor. Don't worry.

Anyone who dares touch my daughter will

regret it.

Casey, don't think I'm done being angry

yet. Until Larkin is completely ruined,

I won't forgive you.

>> Understood, Dad.

That's Melinda James.

Why is she with another man at a hotel

together?

>> Dad, Mason, wait for me in the car. I

need to handle something.

>> Got it.

>> My sweetheart, I told you Larkin

couldn't be trusted. If you'd agreed to

be with me sooner, you wouldn't have

suffered like this.

>> But I'm here now, aren't I? Just promise

me the best actress title, and I'll be

yours forever.

>> Don't worry. The Golden Thorn Awards

organizers are under my control.

If you I won't let you down.

>> Then take it easy this time. Last time

was too rough. I lost the baby. Lin

almost suspected me.

>> I'll just get you pregnant again.

>> You're terrible.

So cheerful. Saw something interesting.

>> Not telling.

>> Where's dad? He left.

>> My father-in-law is ready to show his

skills back home. [music]

>> Hello.

>> Equity transfer document. I've prepared

it already. Get over here and sign.

I'll go up with you. No need. Just wait

here for me.

>> Where's the equity contract?

This is 41% of Glory Entertainment's

equity. Total value 1.4 million. Sign it

now.

>> Larkin, are you kidding me? Even at its

worst, Glory makes over 100 men yearly.

41% equity can't possibly be worth 1.4

million.

>> Didn't you claim to know our finances

inside out? Check yourself if you don't

believe.

signing or not. If you refuse,

this chance won't come again.

>> I didn't say no.

>> The money will be wired to your account.

Now get lost.

>> Watch your language. Someday you might

come begging me.

>> Beg you? Never.

Why aren't you with Jang Yang today?

>> Why do you ask?

>> Don't look at me like that. I just

realized with Golden Thorn Festival

approaching, will she stay calm

>> or panic and do something reckless?

>> Casey M's not like you. She's innocent

and kind. Keep slandering her and I

won't hold back.

>> Oh, really? Don't regret it later.

The number you dialed is off.

>> How did the talk go? As you suspected,

he's transferred his assets, but my

father should be able to intercept the

transfer process. When that happens,

he'll have to cough it up.

>> After all, he's only capable of these

petty tricks.

>> Mr. King, what's your angle here?

I get it now. You're the kind who looks

harmless but secretly swallows people

whole. Wolf in sheep's clothing.

How dare you kiss me in public?

>> You're such a scoundrel.

>> We've been married 2 months, still in

secret. Who's the real scoundrel?

Let's go to Angie Maul.

>> What's there?

>> You'll see soon.

finally caught Mason and Casey together.

This scoop will make me rich.

>> Mr. King, the outfits are ready.

>> Why bring me shopping again? We have

unworn clothes at home.

>> Because I can afford it,

>> Mrs. King. Mr. King commissioned these

custom outfits a month ago. Please take

a look.

>> This What's

>> The Golden Thorn Festival is next month.

This will be your first red carpet since

returning. You need to shine brightly.

Go on. Try it on.

>> Yes.

>> Is it confirmed?

Understood.

>> What's wrong? Company trouble.

>> The festival's been moved up. Happening

next week.

>> Next week.

>> This year's Golden Thorn Awards require

submissions from the past three years

only. Melinda is currently nominated

among five actresses in total. Thorne

missed the premier deadline, making

Casey ineligible for consideration.

Latest notice. The Golden Thorn Film

Festival will implement attendance

restrictions. Only those with official

invitations will be permitted entry.

>> They're clearly targeting me.

>> Get the car ready.

>> We're going to BK Entertainment to meet

with the festival organizers.

>> Mosen, don't go.

>> You've worked tirelessly to reclaim your

place on that stage to take back what's

rightfully yours. I won't let your

dreams go unfulfilled.

Relax. Getting them to adjust the rules

is well within Grandp's power.

>> I'm not giving up on attending the

festival, but I have alternative plans.

>> Casey, don't take unnecessary risks.

>> Don't worry, I'll use a method they'd

never anticipate.

>> What?

The festival's opening has been moved

up.

Rest assured, Casey's nomination has

already been secured. Her winning best

actress isn't the priority.

What matters is this festival will be

broadcasted worldwide. If Casey says

anything during the ceremony, it'll be

disastrous. Enough. I need to act

quickly.

I've checked the guest list. Casey isn't

on it.

>> What do you mean?

It's confirmed. Not only is Casey

ineligible for awards consideration, she

can't even attend. How is this possible?

>> With Jang Mochin's backing, she

shouldn't be excluded.

>> Larkin, what are you doing here? Why

aren't the lights on?

>> Weren't you supposed to be busy?

>> I made a special trip back here to share

some exciting news.

the invitation.

Even Casey couldn't secure this

invitation. Not only did you get it, but

also a best actress nomination.

>> What do you mean by that? You're not

happy about my best actress win?

>> Of course, I'm happy. But don't you

think something's off about this?

This industry is treacherous. We both

know that. Better not make moves that'll

upset people.

Why so harsh?

You know exactly who I am.

Melinda, you better not be lying to me.

You've been avoiding home lately. Yet,

when you betrayed Casey and seduced me,

you weren't this cold.

>> I've been swamped with work, Larkin.

Besides, Casey and Mason are suppressing

you now.

If I win best actress,

our company will be on equal footing

with theirs.

I have festival rehearsals tonight.

I'll come see you after I'm done.

Hey, put someone on Melinda's tail.

I abandoned Casey for you. Don't let me

catch you scheming.

>> Casey, you've shown me again your

formidable power. If I can't handle

this, my career has been for nothing.

>> If they discover the real identity

you're using at the festival, they'll

blow their tops.

>> Long time no see,

Casey.

in such a hurry. Off to work.

>> Exactly.

>> You didn't even get the film festival

invite no projects lately either. Are

you running to your sugar daddy for a

red carpet ride?

>> Melinda, does your mouth connect to a

septic tank? It reeks. Your tongue's

been pickled in sewage.

>> Sharp tongue won't save you. You'll

still lose to me. You'd better show some

respect.

I'm tomorrow's best actress.

Focus on your own mess. In this

industry, secrets don't stay buried.

>> How dare a mut look down on us?

>> Casey, enjoy your last day of glory.

After tomorrow night, you're done in

Hollywood.

>> Solved it with ease. Impressive skills,

Mrs. King,

>> stop teasing me

tonight. Will you stay till the end?

I'll stay if you need me.

>> Casey, time to change.

Enough. PDA. [music] Got everything you

requested. Save it for tonight.

>> What's my surprise?

>> It's secret. [music]

You'll see tonight.

>> Can't wait. I'm off then.

[music]

Happy now.

[music]

You're even more beautiful than I

imagined.

>> Shall we? The main event is about to

start

>> after you.

>> Welcome to the Golden Thorn Film Awards.

Let's welcome our renowned film

director, Mr. Michael.

Next up is director Baker.

Get the shot.

>> Now, please welcome Miss Melinda James

with her dashing escort and rumored

boyfriend, CEO of Glory Entertainment,

Mr. Larkin White. What a picture perfect

couple. Even their entrance radiates

romance.

Congratulations to Miss James on her

best actress nomination.

>> Thank you all. My gratitude to the

organizers for this honor. May this film

festival be a tremendous success.

>> Melinda and Larkin are such a power

couple. Way better than washed up Casey

could ever be.

>> Exactly. That has been Casey didn't even

make the guest list. Watch how Melinda

completely eclipses her.

>> Look who's that arriving.

>> Please welcome tonight's special guest,

CEO of Grand Entertainment, Mr. Mason

King. A round of applause, please.

OMG, Mason King is actually here.

>> Isn't Mason King supposed to be on

hiatus for 3 years? I didn't expect him

to come this year. I'm even more excited

now.

I knew it. Casey definitely couldn't

make it.

>> Mr. King, after 3 years, you've returned

to the Golden Thorn Film Fest. What made

you decide to attend this year?

>> Because this year there's someone I want

to see.

>> Mr. King, would you mind revealing who's

the lucky one?

>> Stay tuned, everyone.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have another

very important guest with us tonight.

She is internationally renowned Chinese

singer, one of the top 10 most

influential singers in the world, Julia.

Let's give her a warm welcome.

Reportedly, Julia has achieved great

success, but is very mysterious. She has

never publicly attended events. Tonight

marks her global debut.

She's so beautiful. So gorgeous.

>> She has a great figure. So beautiful.

>> She's so fair skinned.

>> Take a picture. Take a picture. So

pretty. So lovely.

Look at this photo I took.

Everyone, long time no see.

>> Why is Casey Young here?

>> How could she possibly be Ulia?

>> Casey, are you really Ulia? How can you

prove it?

>> There are rumors an industry big shot is

backing you.

>> Are you impersonating Ulia through

connections? This championship bracelet

should prove my identity.

>> This is from the Global Masked Singer

Grand Prix. Only champions receive this

bracelet. There's only one person who

has this. Julia, what if I said this

bracelet is counterfeit?

Casey, we've been together 3 years. You

can't possibly be Ulia. You're just

putting on an act, trying to scare us.

Exactly.

>> That's right.

If you were truly Ulia, why has there

been no evidence all these years?

That bracelet must be fake.

>> This isn't a place for your antics.

Casey,

I know you too well. You could never be

her.

>> That just proves

you never truly knew me. The champion's

ring encrypts the winner's name into a

code engraved inside.

For those who doubt, examine this

bracelet closely. Inside this bracelet,

you'll find the name Casey Young.

>> We can't verify this. Mr. King, you've

attended the Masked Singer events. Can

you authenticate it?

>> It's genuine. This bracelet belongs to

Casey Young.

>> We've decoded the encrypted code. It

reads Casey Young.

>> Now, will you finally believe me?

Distinguished

guests and leaders, welcome to the

Golden Blade Awards ceremony.

>> The ceremony is about to begin.

>> Mrs. King never expected you had this

secret identity.

>> You don't know half of it. I'll tell you

everything later.

>> Who knew Casey Young had another trick

up her sleeve?

What's the point of her coming? Her

career's already over. The best actress

award is mine. Why embarrass herself

publicly?

Larkin, why aren't you saying anything?

Lurin,

>> what did you just say?

>> Nothing important. Forget it if you

won't listen. Since Casey arrived,

you've been acting strange.

What's going on with you?

Next, we're presenting the best actress

award. We've selected five nominees.

Let's welcome Julia Miss Young to the

stage to announce the winner.

[applause]

>> Casey's presenting the award.

>> It's pointless. Her efforts won't change

anything.

[applause]

>> I now announce this year's Golden Thorn

Best Actress goes to

Please check the screen.

This

look why are they together?

>> Turn them all off.

>> Melinda, taking it slow makes it more

fun.

Apologies everyone. Our equipment

malfunctioned. We accidentally leaked

the nominated series stills.

>> The stills?

Yes, only the stills. Now I hereby

announce the Golden Blade Award for best

actress goes to Miss Melinda James.

Please welcome Miss James.

Hold on. Wait a moment. There's an issue

with the selection.

>> Miss James, I'm afraid we cannot award

you this honor.

>> This award was fairly earned. How dare

you nullify this decision?

We've just received new evidence showing

M. James had an improper relationship

with a judge. She tampered with the

voting panel. Therefore, the committee

nullifies this award.

That's impossible.

Someone's framing me maliciously.

Are you settling personal scores?

>> M. James, don't slander me. The

organizers are verifying claims. The

truth will come out soon. We'll know

shortly.

Drop dead.

>> Fine. If you have no evidence, Casey,

I'll sue you for defamation.

>> If you dispute this, Miss James, report

to the committee. Go ahead.

>> Melinda's acting skills could never win

best actress. She slept her way up.

>> Best actress? Hardly.

>> This is That's me in the video.

Casey, why would you leak mine and

Melinda's private footage? What's your

game?

>> Exactly. Larkin and I are dating. Hotel

visits are normal for couples. I'm suing

you for privacy violation.

>> Larkin,

what did they pay you

to play the fool like this?

Why bother, Mr. White?

>> I know about you and Melinda. Cooperate

with me or share her downfall. Choose

wisely.

>> Go public then. Let everyone see how you

got cheated on.

>> Name your price. Melinda's disposable.

Keep her. Just ruin Casey's

ceremony moment tonight.

Stop these accusations. Keep pushing.

I'll call the police.

>> Larkin White, you're a saint wearing the

green hat and raising another's child.

>> What did you say? J

>> Larkin, that's not true. She's

slandering me. She caused the death of

our baby. Now she's defaming me here.

Melinda, are you sure your miscarriage

was my fault?

>> Absolutely. My personal doctor confirmed

you pushed me into the water that day.

That's why I lost the baby.

>> How convenient. Your attending physician

is sitting right there. Shall we hear

the real reason for your miscarriage?

>> Miss James' miscarriage resulted from

violent uterine contractions during

sexual intercourse. I warned Mr. White.

>> Intimacy.

If you weren't with her that night,

then who else

was she being intimate with? Larkin, let

me explain.

>> Please listen to me.

>> You wish I should have never left Casey

for you. This was all a mistake.

>> You hit me,

Larkin White.

I've invested years of my life in you.

Why do you always choose Casey over me?

You heartless bastard. Traitor. Traitor.

Traitor.

Mark my words.

The best actress award is mine. It

belongs to me. I will claim that trophy.

>> Too bad for you. One minute ago. You got

blacklisted industrywide Melinda James.

Your acting career is over.

>> I won't give up. This isn't over.

>> Who here is Larkin White?

>> You called the police. I did.

I did.

>> Dad, why did you come personally?

>> Mr. Y was worried. He insisted on coming

himself.

Officer,

this man illegally seized my daughter's

assets, committed tax evasion, and

conducted illegal deals.

>> Officer, I'm completely innocent.

They're slandering me.

>> Slander.

Everyone knows you built your fortune

through my daughter, cheated with your

mistress, and stole her assets.

>> Casey loaned me 60 million, which I

converted into company shares years ago.

We're square.

>> Square. The 1.4 million left after your

asset transfers was pure luck.

>> Lies.

>> Fine. If you don't believe me, check the

company accounts.

>> No need. Your asset transfer request has

been blocked. Here's the evidence.

>> Trying to sneak this past me. You

underestimate me.

>> The evidence is clear. You're under

investigation.

Casey, I'll return every scent. Just let

me go.

>> Let you go.

>> You kept hurting me. Did you ever spare

me?

>> You don't deserve to ask for

forgiveness. Minutes ago, you tried to

ruin her.

>> Move.

>> This controls the LED screen. One press

and the screen crashes down.

>> Larkin White made me do it. you,

>> Casey. After all we've shared, can't you

show mercy?

>> Begging won't help. Face the court.

>> Irrefutable evidence. Larken White,

you're under arrest.

Jason Walker for attempted murder. Take

him, too.

Both of you, come with us for a

statement. Let's go.

Hold on, please.

Our ceremony just had a minor

interruption, but the main ceremony will

now proceed. Let's welcome Mr. Mason

King to present today's final award.

The outstanding contribution award goes

to Julia Casey Young.

[music] Congratulations,

[applause]

Casey. The floor is yours. [music]

Thank you to the judges for honoring me

with this award. I'd like to take this

moment

to share some good news.

Two months ago, I got married. Now, I

want to share this trophy with my

husband, Mr. Mason King.

>> Mason,

>> is this your surprise?

>> Mhm. This is my first award since

returning to work.

Without your support, none of this would

exist.

So, this belongs to us both. Thank you

for everything. Thank you, Casey.

Mason.

So online so many people are shipping

us.

Wait,

how did they get these photos?

No one was taking pictures then.

[music]

>> All right, Mr. King, go ahead.

>> I just wanted to prepare for announcing

our engagement.

You deserve punishment.

>> Thanks for making me official, Mrs.

King.

Tell me what reward you want.

>> Anything I want.

>> Absolutely.

>> I want

the man before me

to stay with me for life.

You wasted your wish.

This man already belongs to you.

>> No way. No.

>> You're awake.

>> Hugh.

Why are you here?

>> Mr. Ba is under investigation. You're

his only hope now.

>> You're the only one who can help him

now.

>> Me and Larkin are completely over

and I've completely lost to Casey Young.

>> Not yet. How can you be content to leave

the entertainment industry?

Besides, Mr. White still cares deeply

about you.

He wouldn't have left Casey for you

otherwise. Casey is the real enemy you

both share.

>> Then tell me,

what should I do now?

>> You look stunning in that outfit today,

>> Mr. King.

Look what you've done.

>> What are you doing?

>> Adding these seals.

>> I'm going to Hiang Group today for asset

liquidation. If you add more, I can't

face anyone like this.

>> [music]

>> Come home early.

>> All right.

>> The appraisers have arrived. We'll send

the valuation to the court tomorrow for

Larkin's sentencing.

>> Good. I trust your efficiency.

Casey, will you shut down G or take

charge personally?

Melinda, you're still here.

>> I told you this isn't over now. Leave my

company immediately.

Get out of my company.

Lin actually transferred his 51%

controlling stake entirely to you. More

than that, I've acquired all the

scattered shares of Glory Entertainment.

Now I'm Glory Entertainment's largest

shareholder. The entire company answers

to me now.

>> Melinda James, aren't you feeling smug?

This sinking ship of Glory, nobody else

would touch it. Only you see it as a hot

cake.

>> My decisions aren't up for debate. Now

all of you get out.

I'm holding 41% of Glory Entertainment's

shares. This trash isn't worth keeping.

Since Miss James is so wealthy, why not

buy mine, too?

>> Melinda, this could be a trap.

>> Company meeting at 10:00 a.m. sharp.

Don't be late.

>> Good luck trying to save this dumpster

fire.

This is real power.

Keep Gloria afloat until CEO White

returns and you remain in charge.

>> Larkin's fate doesn't concern me. My

comeback journey, that's what matters.

This is all my capital. Prepare to

acquire Casey Young's shares. Secure new

projects and she won't stand a chance

against me.

>> You can count on me.

With this much money, I'm set for life.

>> Casey, you called it again.

Hugh's up to no good, just as we

thought.

>> Melinda's desperate and making rash

moves. How could she miss such an

obvious trap?

>> So, will you still sell your shares to

them?

>> Absolutely. Since Melinda refuses to

admit defeat, I'll crush her completely

this time.

>> Hugh, do you think tomorrow's investor

will be male or female? Should I wear

something more revealing?

>> Belinda, your charm works in any outfit.

No man could possibly resist you.

>> Obviously, it's those blind nizens

claiming Casey's prettier than me.

Are the contracts ready?

We absolutely can't afford any mistakes

this time. Once we reclaim all of

Casey's shares and take control, I'll be

the undisputed head of Glory

Entertainment.

>> Don't worry, everything's set.

Hugh,

you touched my funds.

All funds must stay in company accounts.

Didn't Director White teach you the

basics?

>> Is that true?

>> Check the finance system. The money's

already there.

>> Fine, then. Stay loyal to me when I

become Glory's true leader and expand

the empire. You'll be richly rewarded.

>> Thanks for the opportunity, Melinda.

>> Dismissed.

Sign it now. I have another business

meeting.

The contract is sound.

When will you pay me?

>> Once you sign this, you'll get the

money.

>> That won't work. I need payment upfront.

Is this the young family ays? Future

Mrs. King, where's your backbone?

Why aren't you answering?

>> Wait,

don't bother calling. Last night, Hugh

fled with the money.

>> Impossible.

>> Hugh's opportunist. Larkin's fallen.

He'd abandon ship, not stick around.

>> Casey,

this was your doing.

>> Do you really think there's anything

left worth my attention? The evidence is

clear. Believe it or not,

>> I don't believe you. This can't be

happening.

>> Melinda, when are you repaying us?

>> Melinda, when are you paying us back?

>> Who are you? I don't even know you,

>> Miss Bigshot. Not paying what you owe,

huh? Then maybe you should pay with your

body.

>> Wait, what debt? I never borrowed from

you.

>> Debt dodger. Take a good look, kid.

Black on white, it says Melinda James

owes us 30 million.

>> That's not my signature. Hugh forged

this.

>> Don't care about Hugh. Not paying up.

Come with me then.

>> Wait, I have the money.

Casey, I'll give you my shares. Just get

me cash now.

>> Melinda,

still think

>> your assets are real. Larkens under

investigation. No visitors allowed.

How'd he transfer shares?

>> Impossible.

Hugh showed me contracts with Larkin's

real signature.

>> Hughes worked for Larkin for years.

Copying a signature and seal easy for

him.

It's all fake.

>> Why?

>> Let me tell you something. Do you know

why you failed? In this world, no one is

reliable except yourself,

>> Casey.

Why? Why is it that everything I lose is

to you except Larkin's love? You take

everything from me. How can you believe

a heartless man like Larkin would ever

love you sincerely,

>> Casey?

Let me make this clear.

On your bachelorette night, Larkin and I

were in your bedroom all night long.

Oh, and he took me to the luxury mall

and bought me jewelry and designer bags.

>> Aren't you two broken up now?

>> I don't want to hear your lies.

Fine, since you won't listen, then hear

what Larkin has to say.

>> Melinda's useless now. Do whatever you

want with her.

>> Why?

Why would he do this to me? Why does

everyone betray me?

This is all your fault, Casey. You and

Larkin did this.

You killed me.

>> You killed yourself. Your choices led

you here. And Larkin's the one.

>> Stop crying, you lying Pay up or

else. I'll cut your hands off today.

>> Wait. Help me.

>> Time to teach you a lesson.

>> Hold it.

>> Wait.

I remember she's your enemy, isn't she?

Yet you're helping her.

>> This office was personally decorated by

me. I just don't want blood stains here.

>> Fair enough. I'll take her outside.

>> Don't touch me. Casey. Casey, please

save me. I swear I'll never bother you

again. Help me.

>> Help.

>> Silence.

>> Lark and White. Lark and White. I'll

kill you all.

>> Let her go.

How much? I'll pay it.

This card has 1,000,000 when to buy her

life.

>> That's all.

>> It's all I have. Take it or leave it.

>> We'll spare her today. Let's go.

Casey.

Why did you save me?

>> I didn't save you.

I just kept my conscience intact.

After all, I'm not like you.

[snorts]

>> Mason, why are you here?

I sensed someone missing me, so I came

up. I'll be your driver today.

Mason,

what happened to your hand?

What happened to your hand?

It's only been half a day. What's wrong

with your hand?

>> I'm fine. Just a scratch.

>> All right. Where are we going now?

>> To pick wedding dresses.

>> This way, please.

>> These dresses are gorgeous. I can't

choose.

>> Buy this entire row. of dresses. Let

Mrs. King try them all.

>> Yes, Mr. King.

>> Mr. King, you really spare no expense.

>> Buying things for my wife is my

pleasure.

>> Stop messing around. My father said

anyone who marries me will get double

the dowy from the young family.

>> If I transfer all my assets to your

name, your father would have to

surrender the young family to me.

You're bold to think that.

>> Doesn't matter. I've already taken the

young family's treasure.

Bad timing.

This better be important. Sir Law's

trial verdict was rejected by him. He

demands to see Madam

>> Casey, you finally came to see me.

>> Say what you need to say quickly.

>> I'll give you glory entertainment.

Just let me go, please.

What are you laughing at?

I realized you and Melinda are quite a

match. This morning, she told me the

same thing.

>> What do you mean?

>> Your assistant, Hugh, forged your

signature to deceive Melinda, making her

believe the company's shares had been

transferred to her name. Never imagined

it's all Hugh's scheme.

>> What about my company? What's happening

to my company now?

>> In the next few days, it'll undergo

bankruptcy liquidation. If there's

nothing else, I'm leaving. My fianceé is

waiting to try wedding dresses with me.

>> You're getting married?

>> Forgot to mention you were already in

prison then.

>> Impossible.

How could this be?

Who dares marry you?

>> Is that any of your business?

>> We were almost married.

Now tell me who's marrying you. Is it

Is it It's me.

Casey,

we broke up just two months ago. Seems

you did betray me after all.

>> You really betrayed me.

>> That's how the real world works. The two

of us were already together.

>> Let's reschedule the registration.

>> Actually, I should thank you for pushing

Casey to my side. Since you've been

married for ages, why didn't you

>> make it public? Is that right? If we

went public, how else could I enjoy

playing with you?

>> I was wrong from the very beginning.

>> Between you and me, there's nothing left

to say. We need to settle this

completely.

Now, it's time to face legal

consequences.

This court hereby pronounces judgment.

The defendant is convicted on five

charges, including tax evasion. Larkin

White is sentenced to 6 years and 7

months. All assets under his name are to

be seized.

>> Larkin.

>> Melinda.

>> Go to hell.

Stop her.

>> Why?

>> It's all your fault. You ruined my life.

I'll kill you.

Breaking news. Larkin White, CEO of

Glory Entertainment.

Suspected perpetrator James sustained

multiple stab wounds, succumbed to

injuries.

>> Why aren't you asleep yet?

>> It's all in the past. Don't let them

affect you.

>> Mason, thank you for staying by my side

through this.

>> Every moment with you has been my

choice.

I want you to find your path forward. No

matter what happens, I'll always be

here.

Get some rest.

Mason, what incredible fortune led me to

you?

[snorts]

Auntie Wood.

>> Mom, it's late. Shouldn't you be

resting?

>> Mason injured his hand. What's he been

doing at home?

>> Well,

he's at it again. Preparing a surprise

for you. Working himself too hard. Keep

your voice down, sir. Wants this kept

secret for Madam.

>> He's been sawing wood.

Swood.

>> Yes, ma'am. I'll retire for the night.

You should rest, too.

Mrs. Jong, you're the most gorgeous

bride I've ever seen.

>> Thank you.

>> Mr. Jong has purchased our entire

collection of wedding gowns. If you're

not satisfied, we can keep trying more.

>> That's enough. I'll take this one.

>> Shy

Mr. Jen trying wedding outfits and still

working.

>> This document is for you.

>> What document? There's only one copy.

>> Read it yourself.

During the marriage, the husband shall

cherish his wife. remain faithful and

maintain honesty.

All wife's requests must be fulfilled.

Her wishes take priority.

Any violation

will result in the husband forfeiting

all assets to the wife permanently.

He leaves with nothing and cannot

reclaim them.

>> Mh. This wasn't necessary. We don't need

I trust you.

>> You must accept this. I want to give you

everything precious I possess. Casey,

before meeting you, my life felt barren.

Rich in wealth, poor in soul. This

document isn't to chain our marriage,

but to show you that losing you

would make losing everything

meaningless.

Done, [music]

Mr. King. Now you must obey me

completely.

>> Yes, ma'am. Mrs. Jang.

[music]

Grandpa,

what are you doing here?

>> Grandpa.

>> Grandpa, why didn't you call before

coming?

>> You rascal. You told me you got your

marriage license.

It's been over two months now. Why

haven't you brought your

granddaughter-in-law home for me to see?

What is the meaning of this?

>> Grandpa, it's not Mason's fault. I was

held up with some things.

>> Casey,

Grandpa came in a hurry. No gifts.

Come back to the old house with Grandpa

now. Okay.

>> Grandpa, some other day. We have other

things to do today. Nothing is more

important than my granddaughter-in-law.

Or are you afraid that your indecent

room

will be seen by Shiaosi?

>> Grandpa, the way you say it is easily

misunderstood.

>> Grandpa, I'm free today. I'll go back to

the old house with you.

>> Okay. Okay, good.

>> I want to see what secrets you're hiding

from me.

Casey,

this bracelet is our family heirloom.

Now I'm passing it to you.

It's beautiful.

>> Thank you, Grandpa.

>> Before this, I feared Mason would never

marry

or that he'd just find someone to fool

me. Now, seeing him marry such a

wonderful girl sets my mind at ease.

>> Grandpa, we've got what we needed. We

should get going.

>> What's the rush?

Casey should see where you grew up.

What? Afraid she'll see your messy room?

Hurry up and clean it, then.

>> I'll go tidy up. Casey can stay with

you.

Grandpa,

what's wrong with Mason? What's in his

room?

>> His shrine, too. His goddess.

>> Goddess?

>> Hard to believe. He used to be obsessed

with celebrities.

He even set aside a room just to store

all those things.

Grandpa, do you know who Mason's goddess

actually is?

>> Some Chinese American singer

named

>> uh

Julia.

>> Ulia,

Casey.

You weren't you downstairs with Grandpa?

>> Mr. King, you've been acting strange

today.

>> Do I? We're at Grandpa's house. Don't

get any ideas.

>> Mr. Jang, not usually this shy, are you?

Could it be

you're hiding something? A secret you

can't share?

>> Not at all.

>> I'm thirsty.

>> I'll get you some water.

This

is the Masked Singer Competition

Commemorative Box.

>> Wait.

Hello. Can I help you with something?

>> I really like your songs.

May I get your autograph?

>> It was him all along.

>> You found out after all.

Mason, this all feels unreal. It's like

we were destined to have so many

connections.

>> I never imagined

we'd have so many coincidences.

>> 5 years ago, when I debuted, you were

the one who took my photos.

The first time I competed as Julia, you

were the first to ask for my autograph.

It was you.

Even when I wanted to start a new life,

the first person I met

was also you,

Mason.

I'm so happy.

>> I'm very happy, too.

I used to think we'd never cross paths.

How could that be?

>> I wanted to sign you to the company as

an artist, but you already had a company

then. Later, after you finally

terminated your contract,

what I waited for was you having a

boyfriend and news of your retirement.

Yangshi, we always missed each other.

That time at the Civil Affairs Bureau

was my only stroke of luck.

I didn't know any of this,

Mason. [music]

If I hadn't taken the initiative that

day, would we not have a future?

[music]

>> Liking someone doesn't mean you have to

get them.

Without fate, you'll naturally miss out.

[music]

>> Then I'm very glad

we have fate.

>> [music]

>> Do you remember this melody?

>> Of course.

This is the song I improvised during the

singer's grand finale.

It won me the championship.

Yes, I've practiced countless times just

to play it for you.

>> So, these cuts on your hands. You've

been learning the violin all this time.

>> Must look ridiculous.

>> It's not ridiculous.

Mason, [music] I

>> I've had the company record this

composition. Will you record it with me

again to be our wedding march? I'd love

to, but this song doesn't have a name

yet.

>> It does.

>> The Crime of Not Falling for You. Are

you mocking my resistance? [music]

>> Don't like it?

>> No, I love it. I'll release it as a

single for the world to hear. Everyone

should know the story behind this song.

Let it be sung by generations to come.

Mr. King,

you've worked so hard waiting all these

years.

>> I [music] I cherished every moment.
