Have you heard the news yet? Your 'honorable' president has made quite a scandal in the industry.

I was only in the hospital for a few days. Did Neung win some auction?

Auctioning a husband...

Oops!

I probably shouldn’t say that.

But this time, there was no need for an auction. Just by going live and showing off her new young advisor, the entire industry knows that the CEO of Wannachak Group has been swooned by the young consultant.

What do you mean by 'swooned'? I don't understand. Please elaborate, Miss Matthiya.

Well, this is clear language. Neung took the advisor and made him her... husband. Oh wait, her boyfriend, I mean. Do you get it now?

If you had put it like that from the beginning, I would have understood right away.

Aren’t you surprised at all?

I already knew that Neung agreed to start dating Phumres.

Then why didn’t you object? Neung just picked a consultant who’s been working for only a couple of days as her boyfriend. He hasn’t even passed probation yet! This is going to ruin Wannachak Group’s reputation.

Back when I worked with Neung's father, I used to advise him against certain relationships too,

but he never listened. I’m just an employee on salary. All I can do is advise and watch from afar.

Maybe it’s because you were 'advising from afar' that he never took me out in public even once.

Hello, Chom. How are you doing today? Did the doctor discharge you from the hospital already?

Is Phong in Bangkok?

He’s not just in Bangkok; he’s coming to our house.

Is Phong coming to confront us because we went to see him at his farm?

No. Neung invited him to dinner at our house. As for whether he’s coming to cause trouble, I have no idea.

Did Neung tell you to join them for dinner with Phong?

No, she didn’t tell me anything. I don’t know if she thinks I’m some vegetable head or what. She never tells me when she invites people over.

I only found out from Roitong, who came to pick me up from the hospital.

What should I do, Chom?

Aside from Neung inviting Uncle Phong for dinner, there’s something else I haven’t told you yet, Auntie, but I think you should know.

Something more serious than inviting Phong to dinner at our house? Let’s hear it then, Chom, you listen too.

You know how Neung told us she was getting to know Phong? Well, that’s no longer the case.

She’s no longer seeing him?

Neung has now accepted Phumres as her boyfriend.

Has she gone mad? They’ve only been seeing each other for a day, and she’s already calling him her boyfriend?

And she’s planning to move him into the guesthouse.

What?

This is madness

Are you looking for someone, Miss Matthiya?

Yes, your boss, Neung. Is she in the office yet?

I heard from Secretary Su that Neung isn’t coming to the office today. She just called in to give orders.

Why? Where did she go?

Doesn’t her house have any servants or relatives around?

Why does Tatong, the CEO of Wannachak Group, have to supervise house cleaning herself?

Ridiculous!

that`s Ridiculous!

Neung hired an entire cleaning company to come and tidy up the house today.

Huh?

Why hire cleaners? No one even lives there. The furniture is all covered up. You and I could have just wiped things down once or twice, and it’d be clean.

Exactly, and now she’s even ordered food from the hotel for a banquet. I wonder who it’s for.

Whoever it is must be a very important guest if she’s not letting us handle the meal ourselves.

It feels strange, doesn’t it?

It’s like something big is about to change in this house.

Hmm?

Hey, do you think one of our three bosses is about to get married?

If someone’s getting married, Who do you thing will go married?

Why even wonder? It’s obviously going to be Neung, the eldest. She’s already introduced Phumres as her future groom.

Phumres?

Yes!

Is that the youngest daughter of Suwann?

She seems quite excited to see you.

When did you leave last night? I woke up and couldn’t find you.

But now you’ve found me, haven’t you? You’ll get tired of seeing me so often.

I won’t get tired at all! It’s wonderful to see you all the time. Soon enough, we’ll be seeing each other every day.

Hmm?

Neung said that soon, you’ll be moving in here.

This is my father.

Oh, Uncle Phong, right? Hello!

Hello. You don’t remember me, do you?

Your father and I used to be close.

I must have been really young then. I don’t remember much. It even took me a while to remember Phumres.

I guess your father was too busy to tell you anything.

Shall we go inside? Neung is waiting for us for dinner.

Did Neung invite you and Uncle Phong for dinner?

Yes.

Well, please come inside.

Let’s go.

Neung,

you never said anything about this. It’s like you think you’re the only one living in this house. You never consider anyone else.

Everything you’ve built will be destroyed by my son, the one whose mother and happiness you stole from him.

Father would be so happy to see you visit our home.

I think I’m the one who should be happy, after not seeing you for nearly 20 years.

It’s a shame Father isn’t here anymore.

Yes, a shame indeed. Otherwise,

your father and I could have toasted all night.

I’ll toast on his behalf.

I think we’d better not.

My father has a very strong tolerance.

Let’s do this. I’ll send Phum to toast on my behalf.

In that case, please, go ahead.

Uncle,

I hope you don’t mind if...

If you're referring to the incident with your sister sneaking into Phum’s house last night, I’m not holding any grudges.

There’s that, and also something else. I’m not sure if Phum has told you yet.

That you’re letting Phum move into your home?

I wasn’t happy about it at first,

but when he told me he loves you,

I couldn’t argue.

Besides, you’re not making things hard for him, so it’s fine. It’s good that you’ll be close to each other and get to know each other better before marriage.

Thank you. I promise to take the best care of your son.

Isn’t that nice, Phum? I never thought you’d steal the heart of my dear friend’s daughter. But remember, if you ever let her down,

and she falls out of love with you, there’ll be consequences.

Father,

I’ll do my best.

Uncle,

Please eat

plenty.

Thank you.

And where are your two sisters? They didn’t come?

Song went to pick up Su from the hospital, and as for Nonglek...

Who was asking about me?

Here’s some spare ribs, cooked by me! Please give it a try, Uncle.

You made this yourself?

Yes, and I guarantee it’s better than the food Neung ordered from the hotel.

With food like this, we’ll need some wine.

Yes! If paired with red wine, it will taste even better.

Then let’s go get the wine.

Why don’t you have Porn or Waan get it for you?

No, you’re coming with me.

Even before you’ve officially moved in, I can already see things are getting interesting.

Just enjoy your meal, Dad.

The wine cellar isn’t this way, Neung.

I didn’t bring you here for the wine.

Are you angry with me? Is it because I cooked? I always help prepare food for gatherings.

First, you shouldn’t have done anything without my orders. Second, if I wanted you at the table, I would have invited you myself.

Why can’t I join the meal? Or are you so possessive of Phumres that you’re shutting me out?

You’re the one who’s ignoring me. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be talking to me like this.

It’s been a long time, hasn’t it, Phong?

I never imagined we’d meet again in this house.

It’s not a dream; it’s real.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello, hello. Neung invited my father here for dinner.

Really? Neung never mentioned it. Otherwise, I would have prepared to welcome my father’s old friend more properly.

I think the welcome is fine as it is.

I agree. I still remember vividly the day you and Suwann battled in court, and you were so furious you even threatened his life.

Phumres hasn’t even moved into the house yet, and Neung is already restricting my freedom. What will happen when he does move in? Will she ban me from getting close to him?

If I do that, it’s my business. Phumres is my boyfriend, and you should stay in your place.

Have you forgotten that the only reason Phumres is moving in is because I supported you? You should be nicer to me. Otherwise, I might let something slip.

Let something slip? What do you mean? Are you threatening me? Are you still upset about Chef Shin? You still don’t understand why

I didn’t want you to date him? He’s no good for you,

and I didn’t want you to waste yourself on someone like that. Understand?

Nonglek.

Neung.

Who is this man you’ve brought here, running around the house? This is a home, not a hotel.

It’s Chef Shin. I invited him to teach me how to bake.

Do you even know him well enough to bring him into our home?

Of course I do. We’re getting to know each other.

Getting to know each other?

With a pastry chef?

He’s not good enough for our family.

Don’t lower yourself.

Neung’

So, my love is a waste of myself. What about your love? At least I haven’t slept with Chef Shin yet.

Were you spying on me?

No, you didn’t close the door.

I admit, the lawsuit against Suwann made me so angry I could have killed him.

Uncle Suwann is no longer here, so let’s not bring up the past.

Fine, then let’s talk about the present. I hear you’re planning to move in here.

That’s Neung’s idea. But don’t worry, I’ll be staying in the guesthouse.

It’s practically the same as living in the main house. Does anyone else agree with me? I, for one, don’t.

I don’t agree.

I don’t agree either.

See, Phong? We don’t agree. Your son can’t just move into the Vorathip house,

especially when he hasn’t even properly married Neung yet.

They’ve barely just met. What do you think? Do you agree with this?

I went to have dinner with Phumres at the guesthouse because I wanted privacy. Why were you so rude as to follow us?

I thought you were just having dinner. I didn’t expect it to go as far as... something else happening in that room.

Shut your mouth!

Whose voice was that?

Was that Nonglek’s voice?

Neung, what’s going on with her?

Why did she run away crying like that? Did you argue with her?

It’s nothing. Please continue your meal.

Nothing?

Then why did she run out crying?

You know how she gets when things don’t go her way. Aren’t you used to it by now?

I don’t believe you. Something’s definitely wrong.

Believe whatever you want.

Uncle Phong, Phumres, please continue your meal.

No, I’m full. I think it’s best if I head home.

Father, Neung hit me. She slapped me, and it hurt so much here, Father.

hurt so much here.

Neung.

Yes?

Never abandon your sisters. Do you understand? Promise me.

I promise,

Father. I will take care of Wannachak Group, of my sisters, and of everything, just as you did.

Neung broke her promise to Father. She said she would take care of me.

Ever since Father passed, no one has protected me.

Now that Neung has a man,

she’s completely in love and obsessed, even letting him stay at our house.

I have to protect myself now, Father.

I won’t let Neung hurt me anymore.

I won’t endure it any longer, Father.

Uncle,

I must apologize. Today’s welcome hasn’t gone as smoothly as I’d hoped.

When someone has lost everything, like me, it’s unfair to rub salt in their wounds, don’t you think?

I’ve already instructed everyone to forget the past conflict between you and my father. It’s long gone. But there are still those who defy my orders.

I don’t know how to apologize for it, and I don’t want Phumres to feel bad about this.

I’m not worried about my feelings, Neung.

I’m more concerned about my father’s.

You’re my only son.

When I had nothing left,

you fought your way to success. You have a good job, a good status,

and you’re respected in the business world.

But if you fall in love and are treated with such disdain, then I think you’d be better off not being here at all.

I promise this won’t happen again. Next time, no one will disrespect you or Phumres. Please, give me one more chance. I want you to trust me.

I like that you speak plainly.

Since you’ve asked, I’ll give you another chance.

Thank you.

What happened just now between you and Neung?

Why don’t you go ask your brilliant sister yourself?

I’m asking you. What happened?

You’re bleeding.

You haven’t even cleaned your wound yet.

Sit down, I’ll clean it for you.

Did Neung

scold you so harshly that you screamed?

If it were just scolding, I wouldn’t have screamed.

Neung slapped me.

Neung slapped you?

Not just once, but twice. Even Father never hit me. He never even scolded me. But now that he’s gone, Neung does it all.

It’s like she doesn’t love me anymore.

Why would Neung do that? What’s the reason? Tell me,

does this have anything to do with Phumres?

It’s such a shame that you’re leaving so soon. Otherwise, I would have taken you to see the guesthouse.

See what, exactly?

I’ve set everything up and made sure everything is ready for you to move in.

Why so fast? We just talked about this yesterday, didn’t we?

It’s not fast at all. When I want something done, I just snap my fingers, and everything falls into place.

Then hand me the car keys. I’ll drive myself back. I’ve got some other errands to run. You stay here and continue your conversation with Neung.

Are you sure, Dad?

Yes.

You still haven’t answered me. Do you agree with your son moving into the Vorathip house even though he hasn’t married Neung yet?

Aunt Su, that’s enough! You’ve said too much already.

I’ve said too much? You’re the one not thinking things through! I’m not just some decoration here. You can’t just bring someone into this house without considering me.

And what if I told you I don’t agree either? I don’t want my son involved with your niece. What would you say then?

No, Uncle! You’ve already given me a chance. Please let me handle this.

Fine. But sort things out with your family first if you plan to continue seeing Phum.

I’m leaving.

Your father is leaving. Aren’t you going with him?

You’re not going anywhere. No one can send you away from here except for me. Wait for me at the guesthouse.

Alright, I’ll go now.

What a warm welcome, from both inside and out.

Well, we have to be on our best behavior when an old friend of Suwann comes to visit.

I should have come while Suwann was still alive. It’s a pity I waited too long.

I was wondering the same thing’what were you waiting for?

Coming now isn’t too late.

Wait, Phong’.

What? Still got something on your mind?

I want to hear it from you’about the lawsuit you lost to Suwann, the one that cost you your land and left you with nothing. I want to hear that you’ve truly moved on.

I think you’re the one who hasn’t moved on. Don’t dwell on it too much, or it’ll eat you up. Be careful, or you’ll end up following Suwann sooner than you think. Don’t worry.

I’m leaving.

Song, please go. I want to be alone.

Just answer me first’was your fight with Neung about Phum?

Nonglek

If you want to know, go ask your smart older sister yourself.

That confirms it. You’re just protecting him, aren’t you? If you hadn’t voted to let him move into the house, none of this would have happened.

I already told you’you can’t stop Neung. Even if we both opposed her, she would still use her power to bring Phum into the house.

There’s no stopping someone who’s desperate for a husband.

Nonglek, how can you talk like that? Neung is our sister.

It’s the truth! She’s so obsessed with him that she’s forgotten about her sisters.

Oh my god, this is driving me crazy!

If your father were alive to see you bringing a man into the house before marriage, you’d be in big trouble. Suwann would never allow Phumres to live here without marrying Neung first.

Enough, Aunt Su. Father’s been gone a long time.

Oh, so you think that gives you the right to do whatever you want? Ignoring your aunt and your two sisters who still live here?

And why not? I’m the eldest. I’m the head of this family. And stop using the fact that Song and Nonglek co-own this house as a weapon against me.

We took a vote, and I won’two against one.

Nonglek agreed that Phum should move in.

Didn’t Song tell you that?

Actually, Neung, Song didn’t file any complaints to Su. She only mentioned it because Su is an elder in the house.

If Phum wasn’t Phong’s son, no one would be making such a fuss. But because Uncle Chom dug up that old lawsuit,

everyone’s been brainwashed into this frenzy.

I don’t understand why it even needed to be brought up.

I brought it up because I’m concerned.

Concerned, or just meddling in my personal business?

It’s my responsibility to look after all three Suwann’s daughters, as I promised him I would.

Always using Father’s promise as an excuse.

It’s not an excuse,

Neung. Before your father passed, he made a will, clearly stating that I’m responsible for the welfare of everyone in the Vorathip family.

As for the lawsuit,

I brought it up because Khun Phong truly did threaten revenge.

I’m not making anything up. Do you want to know exactly what Phong did? How bad it was? I’ll tell you everything right now.

That’s enough! I don’t want to hear it. And from now on, I don’t want to hear anything about the lawsuit being used to stir up trouble in this house. Otherwise, you’ll have to worry about yourself.

How dare you speak to Chom like that?

It’s alright, Su.
