Original subtitles

Elena?

Let it out, sweet stepmom.

Let him hear exactly how you sound.

Elena? You in there? I'm coming in.

She's coming in.

So am I.

Arthur is right outside the door. I should be terrified, but my body is

burning up for him. It's so shame. I'm a bad wife, but God, I don't want him to

stop.

Julian?

Please.

Kind of busy right now.

Do not disturb.

All right.

Keep at it. Elena's a very excellent teacher.

He bought it.

He actually thinks I'm tutoring Julian.

Oh yeah, Elena's amazing.

He's gonna hear.

I know exactly what he meant. He said, let him hear.

And the only reason Julian and I ended up like this is because...

Half an hour ago, Arthur told me his son Julian was coming back.

Three years ago, Julian went off the grid for extreme survival training in

the Arctic.

Now he's back, and Arthur wants me to be his tutor.

Elena, I gotta warn you about something.

Julian just spent three years surviving in the wild. Right now, he's like a wild

beast and highly aggressive, so I need you to get along with him. Help me tame

the animal.

Go along with him.

Don't piss him off.

I don't want any unnecessary drama in this house. A highly aggressive beast.

I can already picture him getting violent.

I understand, Arthur. I'll be really careful.

I'm back.

Looks like you got me a new mommy.

Watch your tone, Julian.

Elena isn't your stepmom now. She's also your tutor. Show some damn respect.

There's something dangerous in his eyes.

I seem completely naked in front of him.

I can feel it.

He hates me.

Fine. Let's get this over with.

He despises me. I've seen that look way too many times on slums. He definitely

thinks I married Arthur for his money.

Hi, I'm Elena.

I teach economics at the University of Chicago, and I'll be your tutor from now

on.

In macroeconomics, an external shock is an unpredictable event that suddenly

disrupts the market equilibrium.

He's... Stop.

Your father's right there.

Are you crazy? I know.

Makes it hotter, doesn't it?

In macroeconomics, an external shock is an unpredictable event that suddenly

disrupts the market equilibrium.

This incredibly aggressive force will eventually break through the weakest

defense line.

Julian, please.

I'm your stepmom.

You keep calling yourself that, but your heart's beating so fast.

Elena?

Screaming my name.

Elena? What was that noise?

You two making any progress?

My bad, Dad. Elena's being a little too strict. We're going over a really hard

concept. Good. Push her harder, Julian. Don't let her go easy on you.

Hear that?

He wants me to push you harder.

I thought tutoring him would bring us closer, but I was wrong.

Right here on this couch, right under his father's nose, he's dragging me

straight to hell. And my body is actually begging for what he's going to

do next.

I was so damn grateful when I married Arthur.

He pulled me out of the slums, gave me everything.

Elena, sorry.

Work completely wiped me out today.

Two minutes.

Last week he could at least go for five.

Julian's radiating heat.

I can feel his raw energy.

Is it because of me?

He's getting hard, just for me.

The thought alone makes me feel so guilty, but so turned on.

It's getting so hot. I can feel the sweat dripping down my thighs. I can

barely breathe.

He's way too close.

My body hasn't felt like this in so long.

Like a dying flower finally getting watered.

My mind told me that I'm his stepmother, even his teacher. We can't do this.

Elena, you're too far away. I can't read the notes.

He's warning me. If I don't get closer, Arthur's going to come check. I have no

idea what this psycho might do.

But moving closer means stepping right into Julian's territory.

Elena, you're so wet.

Get closer, or I'll pull you in myself.

No, we're way too close already. It's dangerous.

His hands are so big and so hot, just like the rest of him.

My stepson's fingers are thick and hard, covered in rough chalices from surviving

in the wild.

My sanity is slipping.

My mind's screaming, no, this is so wrong!

Why'd you stop, Elena?

He's doing this on purpose.

I know it.

He saw us.

Arthur, my own husband, saw me sitting on his son's lap, and he didn't even

react. He looks annoyed, sure, but I know it's only because he thinks I'm

failing to follow his orders.

Failing to tame his beast.

When the external shock is too intense, the market mechanism fails to correct

itself. It requires immediate intervention.

Then let me intervene.

I'm completely soaked. The wetness between my thighs is not only physical

desire, but absolute betrayal. I can actually smell how turned on I am.

You guys smell that?

Really?

Why don't you take a closer whiff? No.

Arthur's gonna find out. If he finds out, I will be dead.

Elena, why are you sweating so much?

I'm just a little hot. It's really hot today.

That's all my juices.

I thought you didn't notice.

The AC is busted.

Smells weird.

Yeah, I'll call maintenance.

Hello? The AC in here is broken.

He's gone, Professor.

Now, shouldn't I teach you a little lesson?

Julian, please. Not here. He's right there.

Then don't look at him.

Look at me.

Tell me, Stepmom, what happens when a highly aggressive force completely

surrounds a fragile market?

It...

It loses all its defenses.

It has no choice but to surrender.

Perfect answer.

Your heart's beating so fast, Elena. You're shaking.

Admit it, you want this as bad as I do.

You're sick of that old guy.

You want to be a bad woman.

I can't even deny it. He's right.

I'm only 26.

I don't know how much longer I can take this kind of life.

stepmom. Julian, I'm your stepmom.

Exactly.

That's why I'm gonna break you right here, right in front of him.

AC is definitely busted.

Maintenance will be here soon.

Damn this weather!

Julian, what did you do?

Why is she crying?

I did some bad things to her.

Told her I loved her.

Excellently. I'm glad you and Elena are bonding like mother and son. I was

worried you two wouldn't get along.

Okay, I've got a video conference in a bit. Keep it down, alright?

Arthur didn't notice a thing, but the last shred of my sanity has snapped.

Turns out, getting caught isn't as terrifying as I thought.

Good girl. You break so perfectly.

Julian tore down my pride, inch by inch, right under his dad's nose.

And I... I'm actually enjoying the feeling of being destroyed.

I've reviewed the reports you submitted, but I need a reasonable explanation.

Arthur's camera is pointed right at us. We can't keep doing this.

Relax, good girl, or I promise you they'll see everything right now.

Not only do I have to resist the fatal temptation of this young body right next

to me, but also have to keep up the fake mask of a perfect wife right in front of

his HD camera.

Already this wet?

Keep teaching.

Don't stop.

Or...

Market

intervention requires immediate action. I can hear the sounds from my own body.

It's like waves crashing against my nerves.

Professor, don't get distracted.

I keep telling myself I'm his stepmother, but my body is shamefully

giving in to him. This agony of being torn apart between reason and desire is

somehow more addictive than pure depravity. When his fingers hit me so

hard, I was terrified Arthur would notice.

But I was even more terrified that Julian would suddenly stop.

I'm actually using every ounce of my strength to play along with this

betrayal right under my husband's nose.

He called me good girl, and just for that praise, I'm willingly playing the

part of a broken, bad woman in front of that HD camera.

His masculine scent completely surrounds me. I can feel my body's defenses

crumbling. My body is finally feeling the pleasure it's missed for three whole

years. Meeting's over. Elena, get me a glass of water. You can take a little

break.

This is so messed up. I gotta clean this up before Arthur finds out.

I hid in this tiny space, thinking I could catch my breath.

But being all alone with myself, I realize there's nowhere to hide.

My head is full of his scent, his body heat.

His rough fingers and the way he breathes when he whispers in my ear.

Give it to me.

I feel so empty.

I need you to fill me.

Julian, I love you.

Why is my body craving him so badly?

Why can't I stop thinking about the feeling of being completely possessed

when he pins me against the wall?

I hate myself, but I hate even more that I can't stop craving it.

I'm completely gone.

Elena, you okay? You've been in there for 10 minutes.

I'm fine, Arthur. I'll be right out.

My husband is standing right outside that door. And behind it, I completely

surrendered my soul to another man.

Elena.

Your face.

It's really red. Are you feeling alright?

I'm fine, Arthur. Just a little headache. It's too stuffy in the

bathroom.

He saw it.

He definitely saw something.

My hair, my breathing, that damn wrinkle on my skirt.

They're all screaming exactly what I was doing there.

I'm standing in front of my husband like a total criminal waiting to get busted.

Got your dress wet as washing your face?

So careless.

Drink some water, then get back to work. Julian's waiting.

His stare is like an x-ray. It's like he knows exactly what I did. I can't hide

anything from him.

Did you take care of yourself in there, Professor?

You smell different.

He can smell it.

He can smell how desperately I gave in to the craving for him in that bathroom.

He doesn't just know and is getting off on exposing me like this.

Maintenance is here to fix the living room AC. It's going to be too loud for

tutoring. Elena, take Julian upstairs to my master bedroom. It's quiet and

private in there.

Arthur, we can use the study in the Arthur's bedroom.

There are just me and Julian. I can't even imagine what's going to happen. The

study's too small. My bedroom has a big desk.

Let him go.

He told us to use his bed, Elena.

You going to disobey your husband?

Is this how you were panting in the bathroom just now?

He knows.

I thought walking through that door was stepping

into the abyss. I was wrong.

The second he bit my neck, I was already damned.

He doesn't want a lesson.

He wants to completely break me, right on my husband's bed.

Elena, had you been enjoying yourself with him in this bed these past three

years? He's humiliating me.

Yeah! Your dad and I screw here every single day, and we love it!

Professor, you angry?

Why? This is just a game for you, isn't it, Julian?

You think I don't know what you're doing? You want to ruin me because you

hate me.

I don't hate you, Elena.

Never did.

Stop crying.

I'm just jealous. Why the hell does that old man get to have you for three years?

I met you first!

Julian, what are you talking about?

Alina, you're mine.

I love you.

Julian's body, so built, so powerful, radiating this raw masculine heat. His

cock, it's so thick, so huge.

I can already imagine how incredible it would feel pushing inside me. And now,

he says he loves me?

I'm not that stepmom who only runs away anymore. Right here, in the room that

reeks of his father, I'm facing my own desires.

I'm just Elena.

A woman finally daring to live for herself.

Say it. You want me.

I want you.

I love you.

Elena!

Just a minor issue. All fixed up.

Hmm.

Elena! Maybe I should go up and check on them.

If Arthur finds out about us, we will be dead.

Both of us. Then we won't let him find out.

Want to try something different?

What?

Julian, what are you doing? I'm going to fall.

Goes a lot deeper this way, huh?

More thrilling?

Oh God, no. Julian, it's too much. It's too deep.

Does he know his sweet wife is getting off so hard on his own son right now?

Tell me, sweet stepmom, who's inside you right now?

Who do you belong to?

I belong to you, Julian.

Only you.

There's no turning back now, and I don't wanna.

In this room that's full of his dad's marks, I've finally found my true self.

No, Julian, it's too deep. I'm almost there, I'm gonna crumb. Come inside me,

I need it.

Someone's out there.

Elena? Julian?

You guys in there?

It's Arthur. What do we do?

My dear stepmom, do you want to scream for him?

But he's never heard you come before.

Elena? You in there? I'm coming in.

No! Stop it! He's coming in!

Julian?

Please.

He's kind of busy right now. Do not disturb.

Okay.

What was that noise? What the hell are you doing in there?

What do you want?

Why do you keep interrupting us?

Why are you in your pajamas?

Where's Elena?

I heard, Elena.

Got my clothes dirty. So what?

You think we're sneaking around in your room? Want to come in and check?

Don't be ridiculous.

Your enrollment papers are ready.

Make sure you review with Elena.

Don't embarrass our family at school.

Stop bothering us!

He's right outside the door.

He's out there, listening to us. And I was having sex with his son, right in

his own bedroom.

Julian didn't back down, from this moment on, towards holding his

accomplices.

But now, I gotta rethink Julian's love for me.

If Arthur finds out about us, I lose everything I worked so hard for.

But Julian won't, because he's Arthur's only heir.

Elena.

I want you.

Arthur wants me, and I gotta play the dutiful wife.

Even if my body's rejecting him, even if my soul's screaming, I have to smile and

take it.

That's the price of marrying him.

Damn it!

His dick is like a dead rat.

Soft and tiny.

Can't even get it up.

It's okay, Arthur.

You're exhausted from work. Don't push yourself.

Who gave you the right to patronize me?

Go get my pills.

Right now.

He wants me, but he can't do it.

I play along, pretending he's a normal guy.

I hate this fake submission.

I feel so damn dirty.

I'd rather die than go through this torture again.

Okay, Arthur.

I'll go get them.

Stop! We can't keep doing this!

Julian, are you crazy?

What are you doing he's gonna see?

So what if he does?

What? You can't bear to leave him?

Can he get as hard as me?

Can he even make you cum?

You clearly want me.

Elena!

How long does it take to grab a damn bottle? Get out here right now.

He's calling me. I gotta go.

Julian, he's right in the bedroom. Please, let me go.

You're gonna let him touch you?

With his filthy hands?

I can't stand seeing that. I wanna rob you away from him.

Feel that?

My cock loves you too.

Feel it. You like it too, don't you?

He's my husband, Julian. I have to let him touch me. What else am I supposed to

do? You want him to suspect us?

Look, you're wet for me.

Your body's begging for me. I don't give a jam if he gets suspicious.

I hate seeing you submit to him.

Elena, I'm counting to three.

One, two.

He's calling me. Come to my room tonight, after he falls asleep.

I will.

I swear.

Don't let him touch you, or you'll both regret it.

The thought of my husband touching me is driving him completely insane.

He's going crazy with jealousy.

And I... I actually love seeing him go crazy for me.

Julian? What are you doing here?

Cheating with Elena, obviously.

Your wife is seriously hot.

I told you, Julian. Cut. Sick jokes.

Unless you want to spend another three years surviving in the wild.

Give me the damn pills.

Viagra? Dad, don't tell me you eat them.

Arthur hates it when people bring up his ED.

I heard guys with ED have dicks like tiny dead rats.

Is that true?

These aren't my pills.

Elena, you can't even grab the right medicine.

I'm starting to realize their relationship is totally screwed up. But

now I'm wondering, maybe Julian played me.

Maybe I'm just a tool for him to get back at his dad.

Since you grabbed the wrong ones, I doubt anyone in this house needs these.

I saw Julian's eyes.

He was telling me he'd never give Arthur the chance to touch me.

Elena, where are your panties? You're not wearing anything underneath.

Can he get as hard as me?

Can he even make you cum?

You clearly want me.

I took them off, Arthur.

Oh, God.

What do I do?

Damn it!

It's all that brat's fault!

If I had my pills, I could have done it!

Arthur got turned on because I wasn't wearing panties, but he failed he has no

idea Julian still has them Every inch of my desire right now belongs to his son

Let's sleep.

Okay, Arthur Arthur

Elena, you know what?

I've wanted to do this for three years.

Take you right here on the podium.

Elena, I love you.

I want to do it with you everywhere.

Make your body remember me forever.

Julian. What was that?

What are you doing?

Thought you weren't coming. I was jerking off with your panties. Elena, I

couldn't wait.

Look what you've done to me, Elena.

You're making me lose my mind.

Your dad's sleeping right next door, Julian.

If he hears us... Then keep it quiet. But don't stop.

This wall's too thin. We've got to move.

Where?

The downstairs bathroom.

I want you to be there. It is soundproof at best.

Look at you, Elena.

You're shaking so hard.

Enjoying yourself?

The water, all this noise.

What if he wakes up? That old man sleeps like a rock.

Elena, I want to feel you completely lose control right under his roof.

Elena?

Elena, are you in the bathroom?

Why is the bathroom light on? Elena, you in there?

Yes.

Sorry,

Arthur. I was squeezing it too hard.

Elena, didn't you hear me calling you? Arthur, I was just taking a bath. The

water was too loud. I didn't hear you. You the only one in here?

Swear I just heard two people.

Arthur, are you out of your mind?

Yes, it's just me. I'm taking a hot bath to relax.

Why are you always suspecting me?

Elena, are you sick? Why are you shaking?

I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Arthur's right there interrogating me while his son is underwater going down

on me.

It's so thrilling and pure torture.

I'm shaking because I'm mad.

Arthur, you turned me on and then fell asleep. I had to take care of it myself.

Just leave me alone. I'll be back in the room when I'm done. Get out!

Next time, lock the damn door.

Julian's back. Don't let him walk in on you.

That felt amazing.

Julian?

Arthur's right outside the door and listening.

Oh, Arthur!

You're amazing!

It's too deep, Arthur. You're going to make me calm.

You know how much I hate him.

Elena, I'm going to have to punish you.

Look at all these marks, Elena.

You're still shaking.

Stop.

You sound so good right now.

Does he know how bad his wife wants me right now?

Maybe I was right.

Maybe I'm a tool for him to get back at his dad.

My body is sinking deeper, but my mind is finally waking up.

I love his body, but this game needs to end.

I refuse to be his tool for revenge.

Julian, I think we need to stop this.

What?

What are you talking about? Are you treating me like trash you can just toss

away? I'm your father's wife.

We crossed the line. It's wrong. We need to go back to how things should be.

But we already... Julian, let's keep whatever dignity we have left. From now

on, we're only stepmother and stepson in this house.

As you wish, stepmother and stepson in this house.

Morning, Professor Elena. I'm Julian.

Morning, Julian.

Wearing a tuttleneck today?

To hide the bite marks I left on you last night?

Are you crazy? This is a school. Why are you here?

Because I'm about to be your student.

My dad arranged it. So, see you in class, Professor.

I thought last night was the end of it. I was wrong.

Arthur actually enrolled him here.

I have no idea what Julian's going to do to me.

Come in.

Professor, I've got a few questions for you.

Julian, these are office hours.

You can go see the TA. The TA doesn't explain it well.

Plus, I figured you'd be more than happy to guide me personally.

What's your question?

It's about the chapter on market intervention.

I don't really get why intervention is necessary sometimes.

When the market fails and can't regulate itself, external intervention can...

And then what, Professor?

Can prevent the situation from deteriorating further.

Professor, your face is so red.

Is it too hot in here?

Or are you wet again?

Shut up! Who gave you the right to tease your teacher like this?

Thanks for your guidance, Professor.

I think I get it now.

Professor, your reactions last night were a lot more honest than now, but I'm

really looking forward to my life as your student.

I thought I could fight it, but I was wrong.

He's like a drug.

Once you get a taste, you can never get clean.

Julian, what the hell do you want?

Why are you pretending to like me?

But I didn't realize this was the beginning of the nightmare.

Julian knows my body now.

So he started following me everywhere, constantly tempting me to fall into the

abyss with him. He wants to completely conquer me.

Julian! What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in class.

I missed you.

No, Julian, you can't. This is my office.

Tell me you haven't fantasized about doing it in your office.

See, professor?

Your body's way more honest than your mouth.

No, not here.

Someone's gonna come.

Hitting it from the back goes way deeper.

Baby, I am not even inside yet and you're already soaking wet.

Still gonna tell me you don't want it?

Oh god, no, it's too deep. You're gonna break me.

Stop. Julian, we can't... Professor

Elena, are you in there?

Professor Elena, this is Chloe, a new transfer student.

Please take good care of her. Professor Elena is our best teacher in the

department. You'll learn a lot from her.

Professor Elena, what's wrong? You don't look well.

I'm fine. I just get hot easily.

Underneath the teacher's desk, Julian's getting faster and faster. The pleasure

is almost drowning out my sanity.

I'll take my leave then. You two get to know each other.

Go to the classroom first. I'll find you later.

Professor Elena?

What's wrong? You don't look well.

I'm fine.

Here are your materials.

You can go get ready.

You can always reach me if you need anything later.

Okay. Professor Elena, are you sure you're alright?

Professor Elena?

I'm fine. You can go now.

Professor Elena, were you satisfied with your student service just now?

But I can't do a damn thing about him. This happens every day.

He's driving me insane.

So, when an external shock occurs, the markets...

When the external shock is too intense, the market mechanism fails to correct

itself. It requires immediate intervention.

Then let me intervene.

Professor, I don't get it. Why are some shocks generated internally?

Because of the vulnerability of the internal structure.

He's doing this on purpose.

Making me remember that day.

Elena? You look awful.

What happened?

I'm just a little tired.

You're walking weird. What's wrong with your legs?

Nothing. Just been standing too long.

Elena, you're shaking.

Dad, I pissed the professor off at school today. Asked her too many

questions. Really?

Hasn't Elena been tutoring you?

Yeah, there's still a lot I don't get.

Kept battering the professor with questions.

Annoyed her so much so she could barely walk straight.

Thanks for dealing with him, Elena.

Next time you can't walk straight, lean on me.

Or I could keep helping you relax.

He's not just watching me at school, he's actually covering for me at home.

And it scares me that I'm starting to accept his help.

Professor, I'd like to reinforce my learning outcomes.

I keep telling myself I should be scared, I should run. But my body is

actually looking forward to it. Maybe I should just talk to him.

Julian, do you only come to me when you want to screw? Be honest, you just hate

your dad, don't you? Why would you think that?

Because you make it pretty damn obvious.

Julian, if you hate your father, find another way to get back at him. I'm not

your tool for revenge.

Yeah, I want to get back at him. But I am not using you as a tool, Elena.

I'm sorry, Elena, for making you feel that way.

Believe it or not, I was your student three years ago.

I fell in love with you three years ago.

Way before my dad even met you.

How is that possible?

I didn't even know you before.

But I know you.

The youngest economics professor at the University of Chicago.

Didn't my dad tell you?

Before I left for extreme survival, I was an Econ major at this university.

This is unbelievable.

But when I came back, you became my step-mum.

Yeah, I despise my dad's sick need for control, and I've been deliberately

seducing you to make you fall for me.

I'm obsessed with everything about you.

I've held back for three years. The second I saw you again, I lost all

control.

I'm sorry. When I found out Julian actually loved me, my heart was so

happy. I think I should accept his love. Maybe without even realizing it, my

heart already belongs to him.

Chloe? The transfer student?

She's just my friend's sister. I got nothing going on with her.

Really? Then answer it.

Oh my god. I'm acting like a jealous teenager right now.

Julian! Where are you?

You promised you'd be my boyfriend once you got back from the Arctic.

Why are you acting like you don't even know me?

Are you dreaming?

I don't like you. I'm not going out with you. I've already got a girlfriend.

He called me his girlfriend.

I don't believe you. You're definitely lying.

Don't think I'm going to give up that easy.

Want to let her in?

Where the hell are you? I'm coming to find you right now.

Honey, deeper.

Go faster.

Baby, you are greedy.

I'll give you everything you want.

Julian, who's that with you? You bitch. Julian is my man.

Julian, you're so great.

I'm going to crumb.

Damn.

All right, then.

Julian, since you're here to study, finish reviewing all of this tonight.

You have an exam the day after tomorrow, and I am not cutting you any slack.

Wait, Elena, you can't do this. I was working really hard.

Fail the exam, and you keep your distance for a whole month.

Okay, okay, I'll study, my sweet Professor Alina.

Soon enough, it was time for Julian's first exam since enrolling.

Ten minutes left. Keep your eyes on your own papers.

These questions are way too hard. If I bomb this and embarrass the family, my

brother's definitely going to force me to drop out.

I worked so hard to get my brother to transfer me here. The only way I can get

Julian is by staying close to him. Even if he rejected me, I still love him.

Excuse me, what's going on? Has something happened?

I caught someone cheating on security cameras.

Professor Elena, you should know exactly how serious cheating is.

Who? Who's cheating?

Step forward right now. This is extremely serious.

Hand it over.

Let go of me! Get your hands off! I didn't cheat. You have no right to grab

me.

Principal, could there have gone wrong here?

No, Professor Elena.

I promised to help Julian cheat, and the principal caught us.

If I can't stay at this school, then Julian's getting expelled too.

And that is the truth.

I didn't write this. I don't need to cheat.

Chloe, we never had a deal. Why are you lying to the principal?

Wait!

Principal, maybe we should give them a chance to explain. Everyone has the

right to speak.

Fine.

Speak up.

Who exactly was cheating?

We had a deal.

I was helping Julian cheat.

You know he hasn't been to school in three years. He's way too far behind.

No, it was Chloe.

She threw the note at me, and I didn't even reply.

I rejected her when she confessed to me, so she's framing me on purpose.

No, Principal, you gotta believe me.

Since you both have your own side of the story, Principal, how about this?

We arrange a separate evaluation for the two of them by the professors.

I figured out the truth.

Julian's been studying his ass off lately.

No matter what happened between us before, he deserves a fair shot.

Acceptable. I'll have the whole school watch.

Whoever really cheated will be blacklisted.

No school will ever accept him or her again.

No, you can't do that! Why not?

Since Chloe here was capable of helping Julian cheat, you shouldn't be afraid of

a little test, right?

Quiet!

Julian, Chloe, the rules are simple.

The professors ask a question, and you both answer. Whoever gets the most wrong

is immediately disqualified. The exam begins now.

These questions are way harder than the actual exam.

But so what? I sucked up to the professor and got the answers

beforehand. Julian is so gonna lose.

That Julian guy hasn't touched a book in three years. He's totally screwed.

Got caught cheating and actually agreed to a public test?

Take some serious balls. I heard he even tried to frame the girl. What a coward.

First question. Please calculate the optimal combination of factors of

production under the law of diminishing marginal return.

The optimal combination is a capital input of 40 and a labor input of 60.

That is correct.

Chloe's amazing.

She calculated that in her head. Bet Julian didn't even hear the question

properly.

The answer is indeed capital 40, labor 60.

But that assumes the cost of labor is 10 and the cost of capital is 15.

If the cost of labor rises to 12, the optimal combination shifts to capital

50, labor 50.

A very thorough analysis.

It's a tie.

Wait, he actually knows the logic behind the question?

Probably just guessed.

You really think he's some genius who learns without reading?

He is a genius.

His talent for finance is insane.

I've only been tutoring him for two months, and he's already asking

questions I can't even answer.

Second question. Please use game theory to explain the price leadership model in

an equivalent market.

The large firm sets the price first, and the smaller firms follow.

That's price leadership.

That is correct.

Chloe got it again. This one's way harder.

Let's see if Julian can actually explain it this time.

Chloe's answer is correct, but to add to that.

The price leadership model only works if the smaller firms don't have the power

to set prices independently.

If a small firm acquires new technology, the model will collapse and the market

will enter a price war.

A perfect addition.

That actually goes beyond the textbook.

This round is also a tie.

Oh my god, Julian's analysis is so clear. I actually get it now. So that's

how it works. Has he really not read a book in three years? Unbelievable.

How is this possible?

How does Julian know all this?

My brother would live him in the wild for three years.

He swore Julian never touched a book. My brother wouldn't lie to me.

Third question.

Please explain the mathematical expression of the Kenyan liquidity trap.

Interest rates drop to an extremely low level and the elasticity of money demand

becomes infinite.

That is correct.

Why does Chloe spit out the final answer every time?

Julian gives a detailed breakdown every time, but Chloe just gives the

conclusion. If she wants to beat him, she needs to start showing her work.

Correct. The mathematical expression is that the LM curve becomes horizontal in

the low interest rate range.

This means monetary policy becomes completely ineffective, and the fiscal

policy multiplier reaches its maximum value.

Absolutely correct. Why didn't Chloe explain it?

Julian explains it better than the professors every time.

Of course Chloe can't explain it.

She only memorized the answers, and she worked real hard to get them.

Oh, Professor, it's so deep.

My little Chloe, it's been so long since I felt this good. I love you so much,

baby.

Professor, don't forget what you promised me. Don't worry. I got all the

questions and answers for you. I won't let you get expelled.

Just make sure you memorize the logic and the answers.

I'm gonna come!

I was going to save this to reveal the truth at the end, but the idiot didn't

even memorize the steps.

I don't even need to bother.

Fourth question. Please derive the short-run and long-run differences in

the Phillips call.

Short-run is negatively correlated.

Long-run is vertical.

That is correct.

Chloe! How did you derive that? Yeah, Julian gives the whole process every

time. Why do you only have the answer?

I... Of course I know how to derive it.

Then show us right now!

The short-run FIMS curve slopes downward due to wage stickiness.

The long-run FIMS curve is vertical because expectations fully adjust,

returning the unemployment rate to its natural level.

Absolutely correct.

Chloe's cheating!

Julian's the real genius here!

It seems everyone is dissatisfied with this outcome.

In that case, for the final question, we'll discard the original ones.

I will set the question myself.

Please explain the root cause of the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis and why

traditional economic models failed to predict it.

The root cause was a lack of financial regulation and excessive leverage.

Traditional models failed because they assumed the market was rational, but the

subprime crisis proved the existence of systemic risk and irrational exuberance.

Chloe, what is your answer?

I don't know.

Julian's answer is absolutely correct.

Chloe, you are disqualified.

Furthermore, due to suspected academic fraud, You will be expelled from this

school, and this will go on your permanent record.

Julian! Julian!

He's incredible!

Why'd you run off so fast?

Got a present for you.

What is it?

It's a secret.

Julian, where are you taking me? It's pitch black. I can't see anything.

Almost there. Just a second.

My God.

It's so beautiful.

Elena, thanks for believing in me.

Do you like it here?

Julian.

In the end, Chloe didn't get expelled.

Her family couldn't accept it, so they pulled strings to keep her here.

The professor got fired.

Chloe still hasn't given up on Julian, but Julian and I have been getting along

really well lately.

But I know better than anyone that good things always come to an end.

Arthur, I've got a seminar to prep for tonight.

Cancel it. This is the group's most important banquet.

I need you there as my date.

Be in the dressing room before seven.

All right.

His date?

Julian, I just... You just what?

You're going to wear the dress he bought you? Put on the jewelry he picked out?

Link arms with him and smile for everyone?

Julian, calm down.

He's my husband.

You know I can't say no to him.

But you're a person.

You're my woman, not his damn accessory.

What right does he have to order you around?

His jealousy is like a fire, burning right through all my skin.

Tonight, you're going to wear the gown he got you, sit right next to him, but

your body can only be mine.

Remember this feeling.

Tonight at the banquet, every time you smile at him.

I'll be right here, thinking about how you shiver underneath me.

Don't make me lose my mind, okay?

He pinned me against the podium and with nothing but jealousy and desire, turned

me into a secret that belongs only to him.

I can't even tell anymore if this is falling or being reborn.

Julian, I know you're in there.

Damn it.

Julian, I've been looking all over for... Who's back there?

You guys... He didn't just possess me. He made me feel an unprecedented thrill

right in the middle of this extreme shame.

Julian, you assaulted a professor?

Are you crazy?

I worked so hard to stay at this school. You can't get expelled.

No, he didn't hurt me. It was me. I was just too enthusiastic.

The professor got moved by my dedication to learning, all right?

Chloe, do me a favor and stay away from me. You framed me last time. If it

weren't for your brother being my friend, I wouldn't have let you stay

here no matter how much money your family's grown out of.

Beautiful.

Tonight, everyone's going to see you.

Arthur, is Julian coming?

Said he's got class tonight. He's not coming.

Let's go. Car's waiting.

Honestly, I hate these scenes.

I'm from the slums. With everyone staring at me, I feel like a beggar

dressed in luxury brands.

Excuse me. Gotta go say hi to some board members.

Professor.

That dress looks amazing on you.

Didn't you have class?

I skipped it.

How could I bear to let you face all those eyes all by yourself?

Tonight, you're my date.

And your body is still mine.

Professor Elena, thanks for your hard work tonight.

He's here, taking all his jealousy, possessiveness, and madness straight

into my husband's world.

I can't even tell anymore if this is a banquet or an altar.

Julian? What are you doing here?

Not happy to see me?

Of course not. I'm glad you're here. But this is an important event. You had

better not say anything out of line.

Don't mess with me, and I won't be out of line.

He's doing this on purpose.

If he wants a thrill, let's take it all the way.

Let's see who breaks first.

Elena, are you okay? Your face is really red.

I'm fine, Arthur. Just seeing Julian doing so well.

As an elder, I'm really proud.

You're an amazing mother, too. I'm sure Julian's proud of you. Right, Julian?

Son?

Yeah, Dad.

Elaine is such an amazing, enthusiastic mother.

Julian, are you feeling sick?

Sorry, Dad. It's just a little hot in here.

Professor, having fun under the table earlier?

I know this ain't the right place, but I want to see him lose control over me

even more.

Guess how hot I am right now?

Julian, you okay? You're breathing really hard.

This is insane.

My husband is driving less than two feet away, and here I am in the back,

literally pressing his son's hand onto my own thigh.

I should be terrified, but the fear just makes me crazier. I actually want him to

keep going.

Harder. I want him to take me right here.

In this sick game, we've both lost our minds.

And I...

I've fallen in love with dancing on the edge of the cliff.

You guys being a little too quiet back there? Why is not nobody talking?

Arthur, don't turn around. You're driving. Keep your eyes on the road. My

bad. I'll put on some music for you then.

Professor, since you love playing so much...

Let's play it all the way.

Tell me, how bad do you want it right now?

Don't squeeze so tight, Professor.

Your body is more honest than your mouth.

It's too close.

So much close.

Arthur's breathing, the sound of the steering wheel, they're right here, like

a knife hanging right over my head.

We're home.

I looked into his eyes.

My heart was filled with terror, shame, and a slive of anticipation.

It's so desperate, it honestly terrifies me. Elena, watch your step.

What do I do? In this house, beside this man, I'm my husband's wife and his

son's prey.

The terrifying part is, I'm not sure I even want to be saved anymore.

I thought we could keep this up for a long time.

Never expected Arthur to find out.

Elena, what's going on with you lately?

I'm just a little tired.

Tired? You won't even look at me.

Arthur, don't! Elena, I'm your husband.

You've been avoiding me. Are you hiding something from me? Did he find out?

Did he see the marks Julian left?

What is this?

I bumped into something by accident. Bumped into something? You sure about

that? Elena, do your duty as a wife.

He wants me to do my duty, but my body hasn't been his for a long time.

What is it? Dad, your phone keeps ringing.

He thinks I'm cheating on him, and I am.

But what scares me the most isn't getting caught. It's realizing that when

Arthur touches me, all I can think about is Julian.

I'm completely torn apart. My body belongs to Julian, but my body belongs

to Arthur.

Did he touch you? Julian, don't.

Did he touch you?

Remember who you belong to.

He came to mark me right after my husband touched me.

I can feel his jealousy and his love.

But right now, I need this insane possessiveness. I need his body to give

me a definite answer. I've completely lost my mind.

And right now, I never want to wake up.

I admit it, I'm a mess of contradictions.

I'm craving Julian, addicted to his young body.

But I also want a normal family.

Are we going to sneak around like this forever?

I can't keep doing this.

I can't even tell anymore if this is love or the abyss.

But whatever sanity I have left is telling me I've got to end it.

Professor? Kind of late, what's up?

Julian, we can't keep doing this.

Oh?

Why's that?

Because... Because I'm going crazy.

I can't even tell whose wife I am anymore, who's... I'm done sneaking

around, I want to end this.

End it? You sure about that?

I... I'm sure.

Professor?

Did you forget something?

Julian, you... Professor, you really thought you could get away?

I can send this video to Arthur anytime I want.

Show him exactly what we are.

Leave him.

Be with me.

Julian, are you crazy? You'll completely ruin me! I won't let you do this!

Then don't even think about leaving me.

Elena, you're mine.

Only mine.

He wants to use this video to lock me in his cage forever. And yet, in all this

despair, I actually feel a twisted sense of relief.

So, Professor, still want to call your bluff?

Elena, don't run.

Stay right here in my cage.

I didn't expect the turning point in Julian's and my relationship to come so

fast.

Julian! Last time! For my brother's sake, give me the last chance.

What do you want?

Julian, I like you. Will you be my boyfriend? I truly love you!

Get out.

Chloe, I hate you.

You make me sick.

Julian, don't you think you're pathetic?

Doing all this for a woman who doesn't even deserve you.

Is it worth it?

That voice I heard on the phone last time?

That was Professor Elena, wasn't it?

Are you threatening me?

Chloe, you really think I'm scared of threats?

Of course you're not.

But what about Elena?

She's a university professor.

If the whole school finds out she's screwing her own student and stepson...

She'll be fired immediately and blacklisted forever.

We don't care about that.

We love each other, and that's enough.

You really think she doesn't care?

It was incredibly hard for Professor Elena to get where she was.

I looked her up.

She was abandoned by her mother in the slums, and her dad sold her off to be a

whore. Shut up!

She was almost a whore.

She busted her ass to get through college, become a professor, and claw

her way up to where she is now to live a normal life.

You really gonna ruin her?

If you guys get exposed, Professor Elena is completely ruined.

A professor?

Sleeping with a student?

Cheating on her husband?

The school will fire her on the spot, and the entire academic world will

blacklist her.

Be with me.

I promise she'll never lose what she has right now.

She never told me.

I just thought she didn't love me enough. I wanted to keep her by my side

forever. Fine.

I promise you.

Thank you, Julian.

Julian!

What are you doing?

Are you okay?

Let's end this.

What? I said let's end this, Elena.

I'm sick of this relationship.

Don't you want a normal family?

From now on, we're just stepmother and stepson or professor and student.

Julian, are you sure you're not joking?

Are you going to post that video?

Now you don't have to worry about it.

He doesn't have anything to threaten me with anymore.

Maybe I should be happy.

But then why do I feel so sad?

This is exactly what I wanted.

Fine. Have it your way.

Don't know why but I ended up back in the slums where I used to live There are

so many stories here and everything I've been through is also another one of them

Need some help?

A pretty girl like you walking around the slums all by yourself?

What a waste.

How about a gentleman escorts you?

Stop! Stay away from me! There are cameras over there! You want to go to

jail?

Don't be so cold, sweetheart.

We're just looking for a little fun.

My boyfriend is waiting for me at the bar. He's huge and he'll kill you!

Boyfriend. What are you shaking for, gorgeous? I promise I don't harm you

unless you beg me to.

Stop fighting it.

You're ours now.

Let me go.

Please, I didn't give you money. Cut the crap. I'm going first.

Stop screaming, girly. I'll give you plenty to scream about later.

Julian? Julian?

Scream all you want. Nobody comes down this alley.

Sorry. Look.

It can't even get hard for you.

Why? Julian, you're not impotent, are you? I don't like this movie. I'm going

home.

Get off me!

Don't!

Hey,

you didn't hear her say no?

Helena? Who the hell are you? Mind your own business!

I'm your daddy, little bastard.

Run!

Get them! Don't let them get away!

Where did they go? This is the slums.

Those two are obviously rich. Nobody here is going to take them in. Keep

chasing!

It's clear out there.

But how do you have the key?

And why are you here?

I didn't tell Julian this used to be my home.

My dad ended up getting beaten to death because I ran away.

But right now, I don't want to say a thing.

I want to give my body and my heart to him completely.

No matter how this ends for us.

She's been lying to me this whole time.

And he has been lusting after my wife.

Investigate Elena for me. I want to know everything about her.

Arthur, long time no see.

Richard, welcome.

Wait a second. Is that Elena?

Professor, it really is you.

Richard. Long time no see.

You two know each other?

Of course.

Elena was my son's college professor.

He talks about her all the time. Says she's the best professor in the whole

school. You were Julian's teacher three years ago?

Arthur, I... Is that so? Well, that's quite a coincidence.

Tooting sessions, huh?

Arthur, it's not what you think. Elena.

Do you have anything else to explain?

It's over.

Everything is over.

He doesn't trust me anymore.

And I... There's no turning back for me now.

You sent those photos?

Julian, you broke your promise first, didn't you? I'm just teaching you a

lesson.

Where did you get that?

Actually, your parents have already seen it.

They had a pretty hard time accepting their daughter acting like such a slut

when they paid to cover up that scandal earlier.

You didn't really think it was because they loved you, did you?

You're still in touch with the professor, right?

What the hell do you want?

Stop playing tricks, or I'll broadcast this in front of the whole school.

I wonder if your family's got enough money to pay off every student here.

Professor, you know why I'm always bothering you?

Because ever since I first walked into your classroom three years ago, I've

wanted to make you mine.

Inside and out.

I completely mine.

I wanted to rip your dress apart.

I wanted to take you so hard. So, you're mine.

From the very beginning, you could only be mine.

Professor, you dropped your files.

He claimed me in broad daylight, and I... I actually feel myself sinking into

this extreme sense of depravity, deeper than ever before.

All right, then. Since you two love acting so much, I'll build you the

perfect stage.

Elena, the group's cash flow is broken.

I might be going bankrupt.

He's testing me. He wants to see me panic and slip up over money with

Julian.

Arthur, no matter what happens, I'll stay here with you.

Okay. You want to see a show? Then I'll give you the best damn performance of

your life.

Julian, the group's going bankrupt.

Dad, put the group in my hand.

I'll use all my savings plus my freedom for the next 10 years to help the

enterprise. But on one condition, let the professor be my personal advisor and

help me run it. You know I'm still a student.

You've been working way too hard.

All right.

For me, he's willingly putting on chains and locking himself in this cage.

Julian, I know what freedom means to you. I'm really touched.

Thanks, Dad.

We fooled him, but we also completely locked ourselves into this sick game.

Were you testing me earlier?

We used the perfect lie to get the most real version of

each other.

Elena, seems like you didn't review this report carefully enough.

I already checked it. The data is perfectly fine.

Is it?

Why do I feel like we need to dive a little deeper into the data?

Right now, I'm your boss.

So, Professor, how are you going to teach me to understand this report

deeply?

That's right, boss.

So is this how you audit your advisor?

No, not here. They'll see us.

Alina, I told you.

I want to try everywhere with you.

He locked me in this cage called power, and I actually feel this unprecedented

sense of belonging right here in this extreme depravity What were you

thinking about?

This game neither of us plans to win anymore. We just want to go crazy

together
