The company's been having a tough time lately If we can land the Paradise Resort project Maybe we can turn things around And this project Just happens to be fully managed by Leon Warner Every construction firm in Lakewood Wants to cozy up to him But word is he's got a strange personality He rarely shows up in public James, since he reached out to you Maybe that's a good sign Tonight, make sure you seize the chance Try to win the project Alright I got it Alba You're going with him Now eat Whoa Isn't that the Lippen family's fake daughter?

Warnan, we are the Lippens This is a birthday gift for you Custom queen jewelry set Worth 8 million Thank you, Ms. Lipton Mrs. Warner, I spent a lot of effort To get this necklace I think only queen's one-of-a-kind designs Next guest please The Zoke family Mrs. Warner, this is a birthday present for you Hope you like it Thank you, Ms. Lipton How did she know my last name? I clearly registered as Mrs. Zoke So she is the girl Leon likes Yeah, she's really something Mrs. Zog, I heard you're into making perfumes This incense, did you make it yourself? That's right It's just a hobby of mine This fragrance is called Blossom Infusion Mrs.

Zoke, you're actually giving your little homemade craft as a birthday gift Isn't that a bit disrespectful to Mrs. Warner? Has the Zoke family really fallen so far that you can't even come up with a proper birthday present? This is how you prepared? Are you trying to embarrass the Zugi family on purpose? Mrs. Warner, sorry I truly had no idea she would bring something like this Well, well I guess when trouble comes Husband and wife really do fend for themselves What's he doing here? Who's that? Leon Warner Mr. Warner He's Leon Warner My boy toy Turns out to be a billionaire Leon Warner How is that even possible? Mom Sorry I'm late Mom? Mr.

Warner Sorry for the humble gift Please forgive us Yeah, it really wasn't great But it's fine As long as my mother likes it That's all that matters Who said I didn't like it? I took a whiff of this incense And I instantly felt refreshed This is the best gift I've received today I heard you have trouble sleeping This incense is calming and helps with sleep I hope it helps ease your insomnia and headaches Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Ms. Lipton Even if she's the real daughter She still can't hide her working class vibe Is he really Leon Warner? But my boy toy was wild and totally out of control Leon Warner is so cold and sophisticated Are they really the same person?

It really is him I actually slept with the famous Mr. Warner Why are you drinking so much? What, you care about me now? Today's a big event I'm worried you'll drink too much And embarrass the Zogi family If anyone could talk to Leon Warner Even just once Their whole family would level up in Lakewood Then you do it No way, not me Everyone in the capital knows Leon Warner's temper I'm not looking to get myself killed The Zoox have to land this deal No matter what Is he really that scary? He sure didn't seem that way in bed Mr. Warner I'm James Zook from the Zook family A toast to you Zook family? The Zook family from Zook Construction?

That's right Didn't you tell my father I had to come to the birthday, Juan? Mr. Warner May I ask Have we met before? Mr. Warner personally invited him The Zogs must have some serious luck tonight What is he planning? Never But Quite an interesting connection between us A connection? Do we Mr. Warner May I ask Is there any chance The Paradise Resort Project Could go to the Zook Construction? Are you doing this for the Zooks? Or for James Zook? If the Zook family could work with the Warner Group That would be an incredible blessing An honor for us For the The resort project I could partner with anyone I want Except the Zog family Mr. Warner If I may Did the Zook family offend You in some way?

You'd have to ask Mrs. Zook about that Alpha you need to explain this to me What the hell is going on here? This guy really holds a grudge I can't exactly say I slept with him And then dumped him Didn't expect Leon Warner To be this petty It was just three years ago I accidentally scratched your beloved car I had no idea who you were back then And I paid you a thousand bucks for it How can you still be mad at me? Leon Warner's car must be worth a fortune One thousand dollars is an insult to him Apologize now! Three years ago It was my mistake I didn't know who I was dealing with I must have offended you I'm here to apologize Mrs. Zook You don't think one drink is enough?

To wipe away three years of resentment So, Mr. Warner What do I have to do to make it up to you? One drink's not enough How about a whole bottle? I might consider it Jerk Mrs. Zook Go ahead If a bottle of liquor can buy off Three years of bad blood I guess that's not a bad deal Hope you keep your word Once I finish these drinks Whatever's between us is settled And I hope you'll drop your bias against the Zook family At least give us a fair shot at competing Of course Deal Wait! Mr. Warner Are you backing out now? Mr.

Zook Your wife Is trying her best to help the Zocks But you act like it's none of your business She's my wife She messed up I'm willing to apologize to you I'll drink these for her Fine, go ahead There are two glasses left I'll drink them for him Alba Do you really care about him that much? I shouldn't have messed with him What should I do? Hello? Are you a dog? Not as much as you act like one Is it fun hiding your identity? Well, you never asked me Leave James Zock Be with me What are you laughing at? You want me to give up being Mrs. Zock? Just to be your secret lover, right? Is Mrs. Zook an honorable title?

The Zook family might not be as rich as the Warners But they're still loaded Being the lady of the Zook house Is way more respectable than being your secret lover I never said I wanted you to be my secret lover What? Do you want to marry me? If you want to marry I could marry you, of course But I don't want to Leon Warner Mr. Warner These past three years were just a game to me Don't take it so seriously Let's just end things on good terms You love him? Of course If I didn't love him, why would I marry him?

He has his own lover He doesn't love you at all I know But we grew up together What we have, no one else can understand I believe one day He'll come back to me So, he cheats You keep me I'm just a tool for you to get back at your husband, right? Right Alba Lipton In the past three years I was just your tool For revenge on your husband You're something else No one in this world can use me as a tool You toss me aside when you're done Alba! Hey You can't talk things out? Now you're just gonna force yourself on me? If your husband saw us like this right now Would he ever take you back? Alba, where are you? Mr. Warner Why are you here? Your lips Huh? A wildcat bit me Wildcat?

That was clearly a woman Looks like Leon Warner is quite the ladies' man There's no one here that you're looking for Huh? Aren't you searching for your wife? Ah Looks like she's not here Thanks You go ahead I'll check the banquet hall again I'll head back too Oh So did Leon Warner agree to work with us? Thanks to her It's been anything but smooth What does Alba have to do with it? She pissed off him three years ago Leon Warner already made it clear He'll work with anyone Except the Zook family If we can't get this project Then forget it Dad You told me before This project is life or death for Zook Group But when it comes to Alba It's just forget it This whole thing started because of me Mr.

and Mrs. Zucker have been so good to me I can't let anything happen to Zook Group Dad Don't worry I'll secure the bid for Zook Group Quit bragging If I say I'll do it, I will Alright Then I'll wait for the bid documents from Warner Group Don't let me down The building was just built less than three years ago And it's already a landmark in Lakewood Leon really is something Are you Miss Alba Lipton? Yes Excuse me Where is Leon Warner's office? If you're here to see the CEO The office is this way Please So she is the person Mr.

Warner likes She's gorgeous The CEO really is devoted He even showed us her photo ahead of time Just so we wouldn't slack off with Miss Lipton Miss Lipton Our CEO is in a meeting You can wait here for a bit Why does this feel so familiar? Your daughter? Daughter, you wish The Leon Warner Acting all high and mighty Why are you still cursing? Weren't you the one who wanted to keep your distance from me? So what are you doing here? If you want to get back together I could still Send a bidding invitation to Zook Group, okay? So that's what you're after? What else could it be?

Honey Track doesn't work on me during the day If it doesn't work You could have told me sooner Had me acting for so long Hey You really have no heart, do you? Whatever's between us I don't want to drag Zook Group into this We're all adults here Let's not be so childish I'm childish I'm the best at using my position For personal gain and revenge If that's how it is Then forget it Hey, wait You just have to agree to one thing If you do I'll give Zook Group a shot What's the condition?

Move out of the Zook house And stay at the Greenfield Villa I'll be waiting for you there tonight Fine But you need to send the bidding invitation to the zoos right now James Did your parents give you a hard time? Don't worry No matter what they think You're my woman and the mother of my child Warner Group? Why would they suddenly send us a bid? No Could it be Alba Lipton? No way She's not that capable When are you moving in? I only agreed to move to Greenfield Villa I never said when I'd move I'm thinking maybe five years later Alba Lipton, how dare you mess with me? Good night Alba Did you really forget about me? Did you really forget about me? Hey, are you okay?

You saved me You became my salvation But then you forgot all about me I heard the new girl Graduated from Columbia University From the journalism school She even interned at NBC Her resume is pretty impressive So does that mean Alba Lipton Might lose her Primetime host spot? Honestly That works out What skills does Alba Lipter even have? She just has that pretty face That's why so many Advertisers go for her Ugh, when it comes to being professional Seriously Everyone here is better than her Alba When did you get here?

Right when you all were Talking about how pretty I am Come on, let me introduce everyone This is our new colleague Nora Ward Hi everyone I'm new here Nice to meet you Alba We'll be Becalworks from now on There will be a lot I don't know So I hope you can help me out You two know each other? We used to be high school classmates We were also Best friends High school classmates That's right But as for being best friends I don't think I deserve that title Nora Ward is a top graduate From Columbia University She says you're her friend But honestly She's just giving you a boost You Why are you so ungrateful?

Yeah, Alba We're all going to be colleagues From now on No need to be so confrontational Nora, you always put on that innocent act Even I was fooled by you back then I fought for you And even took a hit for you Why did you It wasn't me You have to believe me I didn't do it I've been ruined So now I want to ruin you I always believed you were innocent But after you took James Zock from me I realized your kindness and vulnerability Were all just an act Okay, enough, enough Let's stop talking and get to the point Like I said before We have to finalize the primetime host position Within a week This primetime host spot Should go to Alba I'm not going to compete with her Not competing with me?

From the way you said that It sounds like you think the host spot is already yours? Not competing with me Well, thanks so much Alba Nora's being generous And not fighting you for it Why are you so harsh? Stop Our station is planning to interview a very important figure soon Whoever can secure the first interview with this VIP Will become the primetime host Mr. Carter Who is this VIP? The famous Leon Warner Nora Ward Why did you come to work at our TV station? Wasn't taking James Zock from me enough? Now you want to steal my job too?

You've got it wrong I just think my skills are a better fit for this place Besides, I've never wanted to take anything from you Including James Zock No, actually, I've always been really curious Back when you and James went to that summer camp What really happened? Was it that easy to steal James away?

We forget it I'm not interested in that kind of dirty stuff But if I ever find out you're scheming against me I won't let you get away with it Alba Lipton I'm going to take everything from you Your husband Your job And your family I'll take it all You'll end up with everyone turning their back on you Completely alone Ruined And disgraced I'm just waiting for that day Miss Lipton Is there something you need from me? Looks like He's still mad about me standing him up last time Mr. Warner I'm Alba Lipton A news reporter from Lakewood TV station I'd like to schedule a personal interview with you Do you have any time available?

That's a whole different matter I always keep work and personal stuff separate Mr. Warner Maybe you don't realize that Fine I'll do your interview But you have to come to Greenfield Villa And apologize to me in person We'll talk about everything else After that Since this is business It'd be better to meet somewhere else Mr. Warner Just name a time I'll come apologize myself East suburb Kings Road Come over now James said Leon Warner comes here every Friday night To race mortars with his friends Turns out it's true If I can just grab this chance I'll definitely land the top host spot Hello Mr.

They didn't say Just Said to send someone at 9am Hey Nora Alba Who should go for the interview? Leon Since the gorgeous won You promised her, right? It was just one match If I agree to you Isn't that way too easy? So You're going back on your word? I'm just not the reasonable type Leo Warner Didn't agree to Alba Lipton's interview last night So I convinced him Mr. Carter It's me It's you? Nora I knew you had it in you Here's the thing Get ready Tomorrow morning at 9am You'll do the exclusive interview with Mr.

Warner If you pull this off Your future's limitless Thank you Mr. Carter Oh I need to report this to the station chief This is huge No wonder you graduated from a top school You've got real talent Not like some pretty faces with nothing behind them When you become the primetime host You have to treat us to dinner I just got lucky Oh Tonight I'm treating everyone to steak Alba Come with us Sure If someone's buying I'm in Places like this aren't for regular people to afford Nora You lied to us Saying you came from a poor family Seriously Just be honest Which wealthy family are you actually from?

I didn't lie to you It's my boyfriend He brings me here all the time He really loves me Sounds like he's from an old money family, huh? Order whatever you like Don't be shy Thank you Do you want to check the bill? No need I trust your taste completely We'll take everything I just ordered Nora, without you, we would never get to eat such good stuff As long as you all like it Ma'am, your bill is $1 million Why is it so expensive? Because you ordered every single dish on our menu Including some of our rare, off-menu items Plus, you ordered four bottles of $20,000 wine Alba, did you do this on... Ran up a bill over a million Is this your first time eating good food or something?

Just grabbing the chance to take advantage When you were all stuffing your faces Why didn't you say anything about taking advantage? When you were sipping wine Why didn't you call it out then? Who's the shameless one taking advantage here? If it's not you, then why are you arguing? If you really cared about Nora How about this? Let's just split the bill evenly Even though I didn't eat or drink a thing I'll still go Dutch with you all Even though I didn't eat or drink anything I'll still go Dutch with you all That's the fairest way Nora's boyfriend is so well-awed Nora's basically set to be a wealthy lady someday She is not going to fuss over the cost of one meal with us Right, Nora?

I'm gonna make a quick call Hey, everyone I'm Nora's boyfriend, James Zook I've already paid the bill If there's anything else you want to do tonight, it's on me Nora, you're really lucky Your boyfriend's not only handsome, he's loaded The heir to the Zook famber is called James Zook Could you be... Alba! Come out here Don't block the way Alba I told you before Don't bully Nora Are you just ignoring everything I say? She offered to pay herself No one forced her You know what Nora's family situation is like Acting like this How are you any different from those people who throw their weight around? Yeah I'm picking on her on purpose And you want to know why?

I'm just giving her a taste of her own medicine Back then when I was at my lowest You both turned your backs on me Compared to what you did My little tricks Are nothing You brought that on yourself You betrayed me first, Alba Do you dare tell me what really happened that summer after freshman year? So Your first time Who is that man? Shut up You're just a low-life woman Why did you choose to marry me? Wasn't it because you can't go back to the Lipton family? If you were still the Lipton family's precious daughter Would you have married me?

I actually raised my enemy's daughter like she was a treasure From now on, you're no longer a daughter of the Lipton family We go our separate ways Get out! You're nothing but a hypocritical, selfish woman You're not even worth a single strand of Nora Ward's hair You bastard Didn't you have a backbone? I thought you'd never come looking for me your whole life What's wrong? Dr. Bell My disoplative disorder is acting up again Haven't you been doing fine these past three years? Did James Zook trigger you? I knew it Him coming back could only mean trouble Did you take your meds? I did But they're not working But I think I might have found my real cure I left What does she take me to me for?

Use me and toss me aside? Last night was clearly her way of venting Was it all for James Zook? Alba Lipton Am I really less than him? Nora, you're seriously impressive You've only been here two days And already landed the interview with Leon Warner Looks like Nora's primetime host spot Is basically guaranteed Hello You're from the TV station, right? The CEO asked me to pick you up This way, please Hello, Mr. Warner I'm Nora Ward Today's interview host I'm really glad you agreed to do this exclusive interview Mr. Warner I don't think today's interview host is Miss Ward Hmm? Didn't we agree yesterday that Lakewood TV Was willing to work with Warner Group For a win-win partnership?

Yesterday, I lost the race to Miss Lipton The interview was the prize Miss Ward was there too You should know that better than anyone But didn't you say If I'd only accept an interview from Miss Lipton It has to be her If Miss Lipton isn't coming today Then let's just cancel today's interview Why is Nora saying she negotiated it herself? Exactly Getting called out in public is so embarrassing Miss Ward Why are you still standing here? Sorry, Mr. Warner That was my misunderstanding I apologize Alba You were the one who got this interview Why didn't you say anything? We almost made a big mistake It doesn't matter who does the interview How can you say it doesn't matter? Nora Get over here Mr.

Warner clearly agreed to Alba's interview How could you claim it was yours? Mr. Carter I'm sorry Yesterday, Leon and I Enough! Apologize to Alba right now Why are you just standing there? Hurry up and apologize Alba I'm sorry It was just a misunderstanding I didn't mean to steal your interview Mr. Carter Let me talk to Nora alone All right, all right Alba Please just forgive me this time If we lose this exclusive interview because of me I'll probably have to leave the station Alba! That thing that happened during freshman summer break You told James about it, didn't you? What thing? So it was you I didn't tell anyone about it How did you find out? Or was it you Who did it?

No, it was you You said it yourself in your sleep I'll get to the bottom of this If I find out you had anything to do with it I won't let you off Alba Alba Back then I didn't mean to tell James I felt guilty about it If you're still mad at me, just hit me Stop pretending Alba, I'm sorry Please forgive me Alba Lipton Don't go too far Nora already apologized to you What more do you want from her? Seriously You're just being insulting now It's fine I'm not blaming anyone She was the one who chose to kneel What does that have to do with me? Can I even trust what you say?

You're just a vicious woman Then you'd better watch out Don't let this vicious woman catch you slipping one day Especially you, Vivian I actually know Mrs. Nash You What are you talking about? I have no idea It's better if you don't know And all of you Better be careful Thank you, Mr. Warner For accepting an interview with Lakewood TV Next, I'll be asking you a few questions On behalf of our online audience Please answer them for us Please Mr. Warner Do you have a girlfriend? No Then, Mr. Warner Is there someone you like? Yes Does the person you like Like you back, Mr. Warner? Alba What do you think? Mr.

Warner You really know how to joke I don't even know the person you like How could I possibly know? I don't care how she feels about me As long as I like her I have to make her mine Thank you, Mr. Warner Goodbye What do you mean? You just want to leave after using me? What are you trying to say? What happened to you last night? Because of him? Alba Lipton Does the person you like you back, Mr. Warner? Instead of wasting your time on someone who will never look back Why not choose someone else? I think we're actually a good match You? So you really want to be other man?

You aren't even married I'm openly pursuing you Alba Lipton These past three years We've really clicked Are you seriously not even considering it? Fine We can keep seeing each other But no feelings involved Just have fun We don't control each other And we don't get involved in each other's personal lives Do you agree? So you don't want a relationship with me You just want to sleep with me What do you take me for? Ugh Relationships are too much drama Once feelings get involved People get greedy Weren't we doing fine before? We both got what we wanted And everyone was happy Isn't that good enough?

If you don't agree Then forget it Wait Then move into Greenold Villa first And When does this end? I get to decide Okay I've got some things to take care of Once I'm done I'll move in I'm leaving You're my medicine Or maybe my poison I've known James Zock for over 20 years We went from childhood friends To barely tolerating each other I'll never give anyone another chance To stab me in the back Three years have passed I stopped loving James Zook A long time ago If it weren't for his parents I wouldn't have stayed at the Zock house Now it's time to put an end to this James, what the hell is wrong with you? Alba, you seriously have the nerve to ask me? What did you do to Nora?

She almost lost her baby because of you Lost her baby? Cut the act You stole Nora's interview And that wasn't enough You even slapped her in public Alba Lipperton When did you become so cold hearted?

If anything happens to Nara's baby I swear I won't let you get away with it James Zock We grew up together Even if there's no love We're still family Ever since you and Nora betrayed me together I gave up on you long ago If you really gave up on me You wouldn't have tried to kill yourself I never tried to kill myself because of you Back then The Lip Dits kicked me out My mom Who always loved me Suddenly saw me as poison That pain cut deeper than your betrayal James Zock I can love with all my heart But I'd never risk my life for love So I have no reason to hold on to Nora Unless she comes after me first I'm moving out tonight From now on Let's just not see each other anymore You can't move out No Why not?

Isn't it perfect? Nora can move in It's not like we're actually married What? You two aren't married? You two had a marriage certificate back then It's still sitting in the drawer Dad That was bought online Nine bucks Free shipping This is ridiculous Just plain nonsense It was you There's no law in this world That says he has to love me Don't push him anymore You two grew up together Ever since you were kids I always thought of you as my daughter-in-law Alba Lipperdin Are you trying to force me between you and Nora Ward?

Don't hit James He's not at fault He just doesn't love me Mom, you can't force feelings He's in love with Nora Ward And Nora's already pregnant now I don't want to make them suffer Or make myself suffer I want to end all of this Nora's pregnant? James Is this how you and that woman treat Alba?

Let me tell you something Pregnant or not I will never let her set foot in the Zouk house And that child We will never accept What's done is done I've already let go You all should let go too Even if I can't be your daughter-in-law I'm still your daughter I'll be the one to take care of you in your old age Enough Kids have their own lives to live If they want to break up Let them break up Mom Dad I'm moving out today But I'll come back to visit you both often Alba Lipton Are you done making a scene? You think I'm making a scene?

You don't really want to break up You announced Nora Ward's pregnancy in public Just to force my family To make Nora get rid of the baby Alba Lipton You are truly vicious James Zouk I did hate you and Nora But I never once wanted to hurt your child It doesn't matter how much I explain Let time sort it out James Zouk This time I'm really letting you go I wish you both happiness Alba Lipton Are you just pretending? Or do you really not love me anymore? The legendary Mr. Warner What are you doing? I made dinner I was waiting for you to come home and eat You know how to cook? But how did you know I'd be coming over tonight? Men's intuition You made all of this?

Come on Try it It's delicious How do you know how to cook? When I was 13 I got sent off to England Stayed there for 7 years You usually cook for yourself? Not much But tonight is for celebrating Celebrating? Come on Let's toast to you For choosing the light over the dark Cheers What are you thinking?

Drive Hello Is this Mrs. Ward?

Nora Ward is back in the country Did you know? What's going on? Nora is in emergency If our baby doesn't make it I won't let you off the hook I only wanted Nora to learn her lesson I never meant to hurt the baby If She knew perfectly well That my mom is a total leech Now she's making a huge scene At the TV station Everyone knows my mom's a crazy woman now Even Mr. Carter Told me to just go home and rest He said I don't need to worry about tonight's show I worked so hard to get this hosting job Alba, why would Alba do this to me?

It's okay You still have me Even if you never work a day in your life I'll take care of you Wow I'm really touched Alba Lipton You actually had the guts to show up I already talked to the doctor Your baby is fine But I saw disappointment in your eyes Were you really hoping something would happen to our child Before you'd be satisfied? Is that it? I've never once thought about hurting your baby Alba Was it you who told my mom about my business? Yeah It was me Right back at you I know you probably think all those rumors online were started by me It wasn't me How could I ever do something like that?

Alba I swear on the baby I'm carrying Don't make reckless oaths I'm afraid your karma might come down on your kid You James Zock Did you forget you've never been able to beat me since we were kids? Alba Lipton You're a total lunatic The thing I regret most in my whole life is spoiling you And loving you And letting you get away with everything You're just vicious Did you ever love me? If you did You wouldn't have stabbed me in the back when I was at my lowest James Zock Look at where we are now Did you ever once suspect Nora Ward?

Nora is pure hearted Not like you Fake It was Nora She gave me all the info She wanted that primetime hosting spot so bad She made me post that stuff online It wasn't me It was This recording is actually fake I paid someone to make it The voice in here isn't even Vivian But how did you know It was Vivian who leaked the stuff? Hmm?

Nora This is just the beginning If I find out you were behind that thing too I'll make sure you pay for it badly You have to believe me I didn't do any of this I didn't do any of this Alba set me up I swear it wasn't me James Doctor I believe you You need to calm down Nora I've always believed you Doctor James Look at where we are now Did you ever suspect Nora Ward? Password is actually Alba Liporton's birthday There's a party tonight I'll be home late Don't get drunk Otherwise I'm not waiting on you Okay Fine You are the boss Come up and take him home You should call Nora Why are you calling me? Who is Nora? I don't even know We were kids And now you're officially Mrs.

Zouk Who else would I call? Alba For old times sake Just come over Okay? Fine Alba you're here He's yours now I'm heading home Thanks How did he get this wasted? Alba I miss you so much Oh you Let go of me Alba You promised You'd never leave me So why? I'm Alba Lipton Not Nora Ward The race lady over there?

So she actually has a boyfriend And they're hugging so tight Guess she's already taken What a shame She's off the market Otherwise I would have tried my luck Shut up Alba Lipton You once told me you'd never leave me You promised But why did you Everyone else can turn their backs on me But not you You can't just abandon me the way I am today It's all because of you All because of you James Zouk What did you mean by that just now? I'm not going to leave you Tell me What's really going on? Why? Damn Leon Warner and her? That's huge news Let's go James Zouk You're home Alba Lipton Are you disgusted with me or something?

Because this You once said you'd take care of me for the rest of my life Even if I ended up disabled You'd still be there for me Always James You're still the realest friend I have It's the middle of the night And you're eating instant noodles with me Of course Whatever you want to do I'll always be here with you It'll be ready in just a second Okay The noodles are done Whoa, watch out When have I ever looked down on you?

Now that I'm disabled I don't deserve you I don't need your pity And I don't need your sympathy either I've never thought that way Ever You don't have to keep pretending in front of me anymore Deep down You wish I was dead You even cursed me to die In my eyes You're just a two-faced, venomous woman Stop pretending to be some saint What did I ever do To make you think that way? Back then your diary spelled it all out word for word And now you still want to deny it? Have you read my diary? What exactly did I write that made you think so little of me? You wrote those things in your diary Don't you know yourself?

Since you don't want to talk about it Then bring out the ginery I wrote Let's confront each other face to face I burned it James Zock Since you chose Nora Ward Then everything that happened before doesn't matter anymore Please do me a favor and tell Nora Ward I've already let you go to her Tell her not to bother me anymore Alpha Lipton Alpha Lipton Alpha Lipton I am a person Not some object you can just give away I am a person Not some object you can just give away What really happened back then That made you betray me so completely Forget it It doesn't matter now Feeling guilty? Too scared to come over?

He's drunk For James' parents I can't just ignore him Do you really care about the Zouk family's kindness? Or do you still have feelings for James Zouk? Jim you sure call him sweetly Even if we broke up He's still my childhood friend Alba Lipton Am I still not enough for you? You're already thinking about getting back together with James aren't you?

Leon Warner You're out of line We're not married and we're not a couple All I can say is I haven't broken the contract between us As for my heart My thoughts You have no right to interfere Of course If you're tired of this We can end things anytime I'll move out right away If this could make Leon Warner Let go on his own Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing after all Breaking up with him Am I really willing to do that? Leon Warner Hasn't come here for a whole week now Alba Honestly you miss him too Don't you? Alba Come back to work tomorrow The top host spot is still yours Why so sudden? Didn't you see the news online?

You're trending right now Alright alright Just remember to show up tomorrow Could he have helped me with this? If I don't reach out to you Will you just never contact me? Was all that online stuff you're doing? Yeah Cost me a lot of money How are you gonna thank me? Dinner's on me tonight This is really nice The vibe here is great Alba What a coincidence You're eating here too Mom Mom This is really nice Alba What a coincidence You're eating here too Mom Dad Oh wow We're just here checking out the venue Ella's birthday is next week No need I don't want to steal my younger sister's spotlight Let you be the one and only princess Do you really think you could ever steal my spotlight?

Mom Even though Alba is married now She's still our family We can't let outsiders think we treat our adopted daughter poorly I'd love to celebrate with her It's a good chance to show everyone that the Lipton family kids get along Not like the rumors say Just for your reputation You're putting our family business out in the open Think about Ella How much this could affect her So?

So you have to come to Ella's birthday party I don't care how much you two fight on normal days That day You both need to put on a show as loving sisters It's not just about Ella's feud It's also about the Lipton family's reputation Whether you're happy about it or not This is what you owe Ella And what you owe our family Alright I'll be there Hey What are you looking at? Are you crying? Yeah I just saw a really happy family It got me a little emotional What do you want to eat? My treat Are you alright? What could possibly be wrong with me? You aren't mad at me anymore? What's the point of being mad? If I don't reach out to you Would you really cut me off for good?

Yeah So I figured it out With a woman like you I have to stick around no matter what Otherwise You'd really just dump me You're adorable Alva Lipton cheated? I wonder if the Zook family Would even want a woman like you anymore James what's wrong? I'm stepping out for a bit Hey James! Alva Lipton? Where are you right now? Who are you with? I'm having dinner with my boyfriend Is there something you need Mr. Zook? Alva Lipton How dare you cheat on me? James Zook You better think carefully about what we are Everyone knows we're married You're out there kissing some guy behind my back Where does that leave my reputation?

If we're really married Then when you ran off with your side piece Did you ever think about my reputation? Besides We were never really married James Zook We're already done You have no right to meddle in my life Satisfied? The word boyfriend actually sounds pretty nice How did James find out I was with someone else? Hmph Must have been Ella Lipton I never planned to hide it from James anyway Ella Lipton Your little scheme backfired Alva Lipton How could you go behind my back and see another guy? What's wrong with you? Did I do something to upset you? If it wasn't for her Alva and I wouldn't No matter what I did Please don't be mad at me, okay?

I promise I won't ever do anything to make you unhappy again What did Nora do wrong? She just loves me too much, that's all She's not like Alva Lipton Who's got that pretty face But acts wild and out of control It's got nothing to do with you It's a work thing Let's head inside Come on, for you Lily, this one is for you You all got wild Thanks Are you done with work?

I had James order your favorite strawberry pie Come have some with us No thanks I'm not hungry You should eat more James said the same thing But lately, my appetite's been off I keep feeling nauseous So James is worried I don't eat well at the studio He insists on driving me And making sure I eat every day I can't even tell if he cares more about me Or the baby Silly You're even jealous of the baby now I just want you to have eyes Only for me Nora You and James are just too sweet I haven't even had two sips of my milk chi And you two are stuffing me full of sugar Seriously Nora, you're almost three months along, right? When are you planning the wedding?

If you wait much longer, you won't even fit in your dress I remember the Zouk family had a wedding three years ago We even wanted to cover it for the news I heard the bride was pretty loaded I remember that too So Wait, is Nora Ward the other woman? Alba You know Nora and James? Nora probably isn't the other woman, right? You're so blunt How do you even survive at the TV station? But even if he's been married So what? Divorce rates are so high these days Alba You guys take your time eating I'm clocking out Alba Why are you heading home so early? My boyfriend keeps a close eye on me Alba Lipton's got a boyfriend now?

It's over None of the single guys at the station will get any sleep tonight Alba Lipton I need to ask you something James Zouk I'm done with you Why do you keep clinging to me? Who's the guy you cheated with? My business has nothing to do with you Let go Let me ask you one more time Who's the guy? Leon Warner What are you doing here? Didn't you say you were craving sweet and sour ribs? I came to pick you up Let's go to the store together Leon Warner Excuse me, but may I ask what your relationship is with my wife right now? Isn't it obvious? Leon Warner Don't you know that Alba Lipton is a married woman? A married woman? Then James Zouk Would you mind showing us your marriage certificate?

There's no marriage certificate between the two of us But we did have a ceremony and invited guests Our marriage isn't something a piece of paper can deny James Zouk Your shamelessness is really impressive If your marriage is so legitimate Then as a married couple You should be loyal to each other So tell me, James Zouk What about the baby Nora Ward is carrying?

Alba is my girlfriend now I'd appreciate it if you stopped bothering her from now on Otherwise, don't blame me if the resort project doesn't go your way Let's go No way Alba must be doing this on purpose to piss me off She must have hired him to put on a show There's no way she'd actually be with someone else James, do you still love Alba Lipton? Why do you keep asking such pointless questions? Why don't you just divorce her? Didn't you tell me? You didn't care about those fake titles As long as I stayed by your side? I cannot care But I don't want our child to be talked about behind their back Do you really want to wait until after the baby is born And the father's name is left blank?

Fine I get it I won't let you or the baby down Looks like James still has Alba Lipton on his mind If what happened back then gets exposed Everything will be ruined I have to make sure they get divorced as soon as possible Don't even think about other guys I really do miss how things used to be You used to be so sweet and innocent Now you're just so bossy That was just me pretending If I hadn't acted all sweet How else could I have gotten you hooked? Oh by the way Your birthday's tomorrow Any plans for it? I'm going back to the Lipton house Gonna celebrate with Ella Since when did you and your little sister get so close?

I used to be the one spending every birthday with you I'll try to come back early Buy a cake We'll have it together Still not happy So what would make you happy then? Mm-hmm I used to be the one spending every birthday

I used to be the one spending every birthday I used to be the one spending every birthday I used to be the one spending every birthday I used to be the one spending every birthday I used to be the one spending every birthday I used to be the one spending every birthday I used to be the one spending every birthday I used to be the one spending every birthday I used to be the one spending every birthday I used to be the one spending every birthday I used to be the one spending every birthday I used to be the one spending every birthday I used to be the one spending every birthday I used to be the one spending every birthday
