All language subtitles for He proposed to my best friend in public, I married a professor CEO instead—got spoiled beyond limits

Nathan Cole, if I could choose again, I

would never marry you.

>> Sweetheart, will you marry me?

>> Where? Where am I?

>> Marry him?

>> This is the day I graduated 10 years

ago. The scene where Nathan Cole

proposed to me. Could it be I've been

reborn?

Nathan Cole, in my past life, you were

after my parents' compensation money.

You proposed to me in public and forced

me to marry you. In this life, I won't

make the same mistake again. I won't

give up everything for you again.

>> I don't want to.

>> Sorry, everyone. There's been a

misunderstanding. The person I want to

propose to isn't her.

>> Elena, will you marry me?

>> How can this be? Could it be he's been

reborn, too?

>> Claire Monroe, in my last life, you

ruined my luck and caused my miserable

death. In this life, I will never marry

a like you.

>> Claire, you know, I've always seen

Nathan as just a good buddy.

>> You've liked him for so long. If I say

yes to him, it won't affect our

friendship, right?

>> It's her.

That woman in my research group who

turned involind papers every year for a

man, she lost herself and became utterly

dull.

>> Mr. Blake, should I go down and clear

the area?

>> How many times do I have to tell you?

When we're out in public, call me

Adrien.

>> Mhm.

>> That guy wasn't even proposing to her in

the first place. If you ruin a

friendship over something like this,

that's just embarrassing for all of us

women. Exactly. I can't stand women who

fight over men. They're the worst. If I

were a guy, I'd also prefer the second

woman he proposed to. That girl's

personality is just

>> of course not

>> because there was never any real

friendship between us.

>> Claire, you hit me over a guy. Whether

Nathan likes you or not isn't something

I can control. If it really bothers you

that much, fine. I just won't accept his

proposal. This woman just knows how to

emotionally blackmail her friends. Take

it up with the guy if you have the guts.

Yeah, she's just too obsessed with men.

That kind of trad. I could knock one out

with a single punch. So disgusting.

>> Claire, everyone's right. I'm the one

who's not interested in you. If you're

angry, take it out on me. Hitting her is

just cowardly. Claire's been clinging to

me for years. She's been head over heels

for me. How could she ever lay a finger

on me?

>> I was waiting for you to say that.

>> This woman is kind of interesting.

>> Claire Monroe, that's enough. You can't

force feelings. Let me tell you the

truth. Nathan Cole confessed to me 3

years ago. The one who isn't loved is

the third wheel. Someone like you who

can't let go. Acting like a bitter woman

is an embarrassment to all women.

>> Elena Brooks, I think you're the one who

loves men too much.

>> Claire, what nonsense are you talking?

If you say things like that, we can't

even be friends anymore.

>> What nonsense? If you don't love men,

why are you defending this scumbag? And

another thing, you keep saying you see

him as just a brother. But you have no

idea when he started liking you. All our

friends know. For the past 3 years,

Nathan Cole has been showering me with

attention.

But you claim it. He confessed to you 3

years ago. [music] You two have been

playing me for a fool. Am I not allowed

to fight back? Huh? So, she's the real

victim here. We all misunderstood her.

That despicable man and that home

wrecker have been hooking up for a long

time, and they're still hurting that

poor girl. That girl earlier, she didn't

hit them hard enough.

>> Yeah, disgusting. Claire, I originally

wanted to be with you properly, but

you're a walking disaster. You're

nothing but bad luck. Being with you

only brings me more misfortune.

Everyone, this woman jinxed her own

parents to death. She's born with bad

luck. Nothing good comes from being

around her. I just want a normal life.

Is that too much to ask? I'm breaking up

with a walking disaster. Do I really

have to face some kind of moral

condemnation?

>> Yeah, some people are just cursed. They

bring misfortune to their family. You

have to believe it. If she's really as

unlucky as he says, we should stay away

from her.

>> Claire, in this lifetime, I'll make sure

everyone knows you're a jinx. I won't

let you ruin my fortune anymore.

>> The mall's promotional prize draw is on.

The prize clean channel is now open.

Today's grand prize is a Shelu brand

electric car.

>> Let's go.

>> Such a big event. Let's go check it out.

>> Come on. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

When we first entered the mall, they

said something about face scanning for

the draw. Turns out it was real. Of

course, it is. Let's go see. This is a

mall under the Bow Group's umbrella.

They're not short on money.

Wonder who will win. Who is it? I hope I

win.

>> Elena is my lucky charm. In my past

life, she helped me win a $5 million

lottery. Today's grand prize will

definitely be ours, too.

>> Elena?

>> Yeah.

>> You scanned your face earlier, too,

right? Yeah. You're so lucky. We're

definitely winning today.

>> In my past life, when I was sorting

through my parents' belongings, I found

the fortune system watch. This time, I

haven't had the chance yet.

>> The lucky winner has been drawn. Please

look at the big screen.

>> We run. We run. Who is that? Isn't that

her?

>> She won.

>> What did I tell you? Elena's luck is off

the charts. She's my good luck charm. Of

course, we could win.

Hey, look.

What? What? It changed.

>> I haven't gotten my lucky watch yet. Why

am I so lucky?

>> Adrien Blake. Oh, no. Adrien Blake,

you're rigging things behind the scenes

so blatantly.

>> Should I give you a raise?

>> Really? Now you're telling me what to

do. Maybe you should just take over as

CEO. You can have my seat. What are you

standing around for?

>> The Blake family's assets.

I can give them to whomever I please.

Congratulations, young lady. You've won

the grand prize. Now, please come with

me to the vehicle's location to claim

your prize.

>> Let's go. Let's go.

>> She's really claiming the prize.

>> Hurry up.

>> Let's go. Let's go.

>> Go. Let's go see.

>> Go ahead and lift it.

>> Wow.

>> It's real.

>> That jerk earlier, didn't he say she was

bad luck? How did she win such a huge

prize? That car is worth2 to $300,000.

She just goes out for a casual stroll

and gets $200 to $300,000 for free.

That's bad luck. What are the rest of us

supposed to do?

>> Yeah.

>> Congratulations.

>> Thank you.

>> What are you doing? You must be

mistaken. Someone like her. She doesn't

have the luck to win a prize. It must be

a mistake on your mall's part. I want to

check your lottery system right now. I

don't want to see such fools in a bow

family mall ever again.

>> What are you doing? WHAT ARE YOU all

doing? What's going on? What a lousy

mall. I'M GOING TO SUE YOU.

[music]

>> Your car keys.

>> Thank you.

Nathan cold. This is just the beginning.

It's all my fault. I can't compare to

Clare Monro's good look. I've

embarrassed you.

>> The one who laughs last is the real

winner. That clear Monroe, she's just

had a lucky streak. That's all.

Elena,

you have to believe me. Only you are

truly born lucky.

Once Elena helps me win the $5 million

lottery, I will definitely repay the

humiliation I suffered today to clear

Monroe 10fold.

>> [music]

>> Finally found it.

Master, welcome to the fortune system.

Great. I still have my health. There's

still time to change everything in this

life. Hello, master. I am Little Luck.

From now on, you can use your health

points to exchange for luck. I know all

about that. I want to use my health

points to exchange for the winning

ticket for the next $5 million jackpot.

The next $5 million lottery draws in 3

months. Master, are you sure you want to

use your health points for this

exchange? Six health points would just

mean some headaches or a cold. I'll get

better quickly. But this 5 million, I

absolutely must have it. Confirm the

exchange.

>> Honey, you're the luckiest. Pick one for

me. It's sure to win.

>> Of course. I've never lost at rock paper

scissors since I was a kid. Both. I'll

take this one, this one, and this one.

Thank you.

>> All right. Coming right up.

>> Sir, this batch of tickets draws in

three months. Let me tell you a secret.

The grand prize in here is $5 million.

5 million?

>> Clare Monroe. In this life, I've gotten

the $5 million prize 8 years early. On

the day of the draw, I'll make you kneel

and beg for my forgiveness.

[sighs and gasps]

>> Hey, look. She's so pretty.

>> Who is that?

>> How can she be so beautiful? A fairy?

>> Who is she? Do you know her?

>> Investing in a man isn't as good as

investing in yourself. What?

>> Wow, she's so beautiful. How can she be

so pretty?

>> So gorgeous.

>> All right, class is starting.

But what should I invest in? Nothing

beats investing in a top tier player.

Class, regarding the assignment from

last class, does anyone have any

questions?

>> Professor Blake, I have a question.

Do you have a girlfriend?

[laughter]

In my view, relationships are just like

architecture. You have to build a future

together on the foundation you have now.

So, until I meet the person who shares

that same foundation with me, I won't be

in a relationship.

>> In my past life, he never settled down

before I died. It seems he never found

the right foundation for him.

>> [music]

>> Hello. Are you here to see someone? I'm

here to see Professor Blake. Adrien

Blake.

[music]

The future richest man in the world. The

head of the Blackwood Group. Adrien

Blake. The man at the top of the

pyramid.

Recently, the Blake Company declared

bankruptcy. Its head, Jan Blake, was

imprisoned. A debt of $3.8 million may

fall to his son, Adrien Blake.

Reportedly, Professor Adrien Blake is

the industry's youngest pioneer in

innovative architectural design and a

professor of architecture at a

university. His research institute may

be forced to close due to this turmoil.

The elite professor fell from grace.

Everyone was waiting to see Adrien Blake

fail. Yet, in just one year, starting

from scratch, he became the head of the

Blackwood group and built his own

architectural empire. If I invest in him

now, become his angel investor, once he

makes it big, he'll definitely be

grateful to me.

>> Marry him.

>> Finally willing to ditch those ugly

clothes. This kind of style suits her

much better.

>> You little rascal. You drove your own

father. pay Jan into bankruptcy. Such a

huge thing. And you didn't tell your

grandfather.

Now that the pay family has fallen, the

debt for your mother's death has been

repaid. You need to change your surname

to Blackwood. Come back to the Blackwood

family and then take over the family

business.

>> Grandfather,

I still have my students and my

construction project.

>> What project? Don't you know everyone

outside thinks you're bankrupt now? If

this goes on, you won't even be able to

find a wife. I'll skin you alive.

>> Stop.

I'm telling you, debt collectors, have

you no shame chasing someone to a place

like a school? Won't you be satisfied

until you drive him to his death?

>> Me, a debt collector?

>> Which collection agency are you from?

Sending someone so old to collect debts?

Aren't you afraid something might

happen?

>> I,

>> grandfather.

Well, here comes the wife now.

>> With the Pay family's collapse, everyone

thinks Adrien is penniless. Little do

they know his true identity is the heir

to the Blackwood Empire. For the sake of

the Blackwoods, and for Adrienne's

future, I need to test this girl

properly.

[clears throat]

>> Don't be afraid. I'm here. These people

won't lay a finger on you.

[crying]

>> Mom.

Mom.

>> Adrien. Mom's here. I won't let anyone

hurt you.

>> Mom,

how much does he owe you exactly? I'll

pay it back for him.

[music]

Here's the money. From now on, don't let

me catch you bothering him again.

Otherwise, I'll call the police.

She's a good girl. When others found out

Adrien Blake went bankrupt, they all

kept their distance. Only she not only

didn't look down on him, but also stuck

by that rascal Adrien through thick and

thin.

Hello. Get me a 10 billion dowy right

now and wedding planners. I want to

arrange for my grandson and his bride

the wedding of the century.

[laughter]

You said you have nowhere else to go.

Let me get you settled here for now.

The 300,000 I just gave away is all I

have right now. I know I can't pay off

all your debts for you, but don't worry.

In 3 months, I'll definitely clear all

your debts. Once the lottery draw

happens, I'll invest all the money into

AJ and Blake. A year from now, we'll be

counting money till our hands go numb.

>> Not only did you help me, but you're

also keeping me tucked away.

Tell me, how should I repay you?

>> Professor Blake, you've got it all

wrong. That's not what I meant.

>> Then what did you mean?

What happened to the aesthetic

architecture genius? With a body like

that, it's really hard to control

myself.

>> [music]

[panting]

>> $300,000 to force someone into this. I

bought the future Big Shot for a whole

night. When he makes a comeback, he

won't hold a grudge, will he?

>> What? Not getting up yet? Wanting

another round? No.

>> That's not what you were saying last

night.

>> Not enough.

[music]

You, if you really want to thank me,

just sign this angel investment

contract. Then when you make it big,

you'll give me half the shares in all

your ventures.

pen.

>> You're signing it without even looking.

[music]

>> I trust you.

>> Don't.

I have a job interview at B Corporation

later. It wouldn't look good to have

marks.

>> B Corporation.

No. Isn't it a bit late to be saying

that now?

>> B Corporation only cares about an

employes skills. They have flexible

policies and an inclusive culture. No

one will care.

>> How do you know about Bo Corp's

policies?

>> I heard your mother's maiden name is Bo.

Don't tell me.

>> My research institute had dealings with

them. I've been to their offices.

Oh, so that's it.

>> Quite disappointed I'm not some rich

hair from a wealthy family.

>> Not at all. It's easy to add flowers to

a bouquet, but hard to send charcoal in

the snow. If you were really rich, I

wouldn't even bother with you.

>> What did you say?

>> I said your talent and abilities are

worth a million times more than those

rich playboys. Bringing your research

institute back to the top. It's just a

matter of time. So, she's helping me

because she admires my talent and

ability.

>> I'm going to be late for my interview.

You say put it home these next few days

so you don't get found by those debt

collectors.

[music]

>> Hello, Grandpa. I've changed my mind.

I'm going back to the company.

How are your preparations going? I'm so

nervous.

>> Don't worry, the interviewer, he's my

senior from college. I've already put in

a good word for you. You getting into

Blake Group this time is practically a

done deal.

In the past life, even though Elena knew

nothing, she locked her way into Blake

Group. She joined the R&D department and

I used her connections to secure several

deals with Blake Group. I made a

killing.

>> In the past life, I was busy cleaning up

Nathan's mess. So, I missed my interview

at Blake Group. By the time I finished

handling everything for Nathan, Elena

had already stolen my design drafts. She

got into Blake Group. Later on, Nathan

even used his connection with Atlanta to

meet Adrien Blake at a party. He landed

several deals in a row. This time

around, I will never let him get another

chance to connect with Blake Group.

>> Master, detected that you are about to

attend an interview. You may choose to

spend two health points to exchange for

the interviewer's favor.

>> No need. Getting into Blake Group should

be based on real talent and skill.

[music] I don't need to rely on anyone's

favor. I can pass the interview on my

own merit. [music]

Claire Monroe, you're a good for nothing

who failed every class. How dare you

show up for Blake Group's top architect

interview.

>> Oh my god, failed every class. What

nerve coming here?

>> Nathan Cole, if it weren't for you

shamelessly begging me to give you my

top ranking in scholarship, I wouldn't

have turned in blank tests every year.

Claire Monroe. Nathan just told the

truth. Now you're throwing a fit.

If the interviewer saw this pathetic

resume of yours, well, you'd probably

want to crawl into a hole.

>> If you get on your knees and apologize

right now, I might cut you some slack. I

could ask my senior to make it less

embarrassing when he tells you to get

lost.

>> Lake group only cares about ability. You

two have never even done real

architectural design work. We'll see

who's getting kicked out.

>> You. What's all this noise? Mr. Adrien

is here. Everyone, quiet down.

>> Do you think this outfit will seem too

distant when I see her?

>> Maybe I should change into casual

clothes. Huh?

>> Good morning, Mr. Blackwood.

Good morning, Mr. Blackwood.

[music]

>> Adrien Blake's creditor is actually the

chairman of the Blackwood Group. This is

bad. No matter how generous the chairman

is, he won't forgive me for throwing a

bank card at him.

>> Isn't that my future

granddaughter-in-law?

She's here for the Blackwood Group

interview, too. Today's interview is to

select engineers for the Blackwood

Group's architectural research project,

the homebuilder initiative. To select

engineers, everyone here is an

exceptionally talented elite. Our

chairman, Blackwood, is very interested,

so he specifically came to see you all.

>> That girl,

Chairman Blackwood, she's a friend of my

junior. According to my junior, she's

very capable. Do you know her, Chairman?

Later, take her interview portfolio and

resume and deliver them separately to

young master Adrienne's office.

>> Chairman, this

understood.

>> Drawing skills are the primary criterion

for selection. Please, based on the

prompt, draw an architectural blueprint.

[music]

As long as Elena joins the Blackwood

Group's core project, I'll have a chance

to talk to young Master Adrien. Third, I

can propose a collaboration with him,

and he can help me make some money. That

should be a piece of cake.

>> What do I do? All my project assignments

were done by Claire for me. I don't know

how to draw at all.

In my past life for Nathan Cole, I gave

up my studies. I dropped out of a top

architecture professor's research team.

I never even got to meet the professor.

This time around, I won't sacrifice my

future for anyone again.

No way. I absolutely cannot let that

woman Clare Monroe join the Blake group.

This is Clare Monroe's interview

portfolio prepared over 3 months. Nathan

always has a way.

Look, just look. Take a look, please. I

promise you this is the best work you'll

ever see.

>> Oh my. What an absolutely stunning

design. It would make even use her bow

in admiration.

What's going on here?

So, see, I told you so. It's a

masterpiece, isn't it?

And do you know who designed this piece?

It's my granddaughter-in-law.

The style of these two works is

completely similar. It's identical to

Clare Monroe's design style from her

university days. Logically speaking,

both should be her work.

>> Nathan How did it go?

>> Nathan, the interviewer just said the

chairman personally took my design

blueprints.

>> That's fantastic.

>> Elena, I knew you were my lucky star.

I'm sure I'll pass the interview.

>> Miss Brooks, which prestigious

university did you graduate from? To be

able to design such outstanding

architectural works. Could you mentor

me?

>> It wasn't really a prestigious school.

Well, Claire and I were actually

classmates.

If you have any architectural questions,

asking her or asking me is pretty much

the same. She How could she possibly

compare to you, Miss Brooks? I saw her

resume. It's just she's a complete waste

of space.

Hey, Claire Monroe. We're all here for

the interview. I know you can't compete

with me. It's eating you up inside. If

you're mad, take it out on me. Why drag

innocent people into this?

What are you doing? You can't just hit

people.

>> She told me to take it out on her.

>> Listen up, Claire Monroe. This is Blake

Corp. You can't just act out here. When

the interviewer gets here and announces

that Elena Brooks got the job, let's see

how smart you are, then.

>> Fine. Let's just see who gets the offer

in a moment.

>> I heard this core project only has one

opening. Chairman Blake personally took

Miss Brooks's architectural design. Her

staying is a done deal.

>> Exactly. This woman is way out of her

league. Miss Brooks's design. I happened

to see it. It's on a completely

different level.

Senior

are the interview results out. Who got

in?

>> Elena Brooks.

[gasps]

>> I knew it. Your design is outstanding.

You are bound to win.

>> My design just happened to suit young

master Blake's taste. It's not just

Blake Corp. Many other big companies

want me, too.

>> See, clear. No matter how hard you try,

you'll never measure up to Elena Brooks.

I've always said Elena Brooks is

naturally lucky. She succeeds at

everything she does. A jinx like you.

What do you have to compete with?

>> I haven't finished yet. There's another

person.

Miss Clare Monroe.

>> What? How is that possible? Nathan, you

must be mistaken.

>> A blueprint? How could it be identical

to mine?

>> Interviewer, I'm finished. 3 months ago,

before I had that falling out with

Nathan Cole, I showed him my initial

design draft. I must have passed it on

to Elena Brooks. It seems I can't use

this blueprint anymore.

>> This is Mr. Adrien Blake's decision

after reviewing both of your works. Miss

Elena Brooks, Miss Claire Monroe, please

come with me to the CEO's office to meet

with Mr. Adrien Blake.

>> What are you hesitating for? Just keep

my granddaughter-in-law Claire's piece

and that's it. How do I see it? These

two works are both better designed than

my granddaughter-in-law Cla's piece.

>> Oh, Grandpa, please don't make things

more complicated. When it comes to

business, you're good. But in

architecture,

you should just leave it alone.

>> Hey, you little rascal.

>> That's strange.

In terms of precision and

professionalism, this one is superior.

It's clearly a piece created after deep

reflection.

>> Are you saying someone is better than my

grandson's wife?

No one could be better than her.

[crying]

Who are you? Why won't you let me kill

that bastard?

>> I just don't want you to make a mistake.

If you swing that bat, you'll ruin your

own life.

>> Fighting evil with evil. That's the

stupidest way to get revenge. The better

you live your life, the more you'll make

those who hate you. Live in regret.

>> Riverside University.

>> Professor Blake, your resume is so

impressive and your family background is

privileged. Why did you come to our

Riverside University Research Institute?

>> Here

I find meaning in my life.

>> Dr. Bennett.

>> Dr. Charles Bennett. Claire said her

boyfriend got into a car accident while

street racing. She has to go to the

hospital to take care of him, so she

can't join the research team.

>> During the half year I taught at Jang

University, I studied all of her project

designs. I can confirm. But both of

these designs are her original work.

>> So, you're saying someone plagiarized my

granddaughter-in-law's design?

Oliver Grant,

bring them all in.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Miss B. Miss Claire, please come with me

to the CEO's office to meet with Mr.

Adrien Blake. Ladies, please follow me.

>> Nathan, wait. Why? Why do we have to go

meet Mr. Adrien Blake?

>> Here's the thing. Mr. Adrien Blake said

he admires both portfolios, but there's

only one open position. He's having a

hard time deciding. So, he'd like to

invite you both to redesign another

piece right in front of him.

>> Nathan, I don't know the first thing

about architecture. If I get exposed in

front of Mr. Adrien Blake, he'll

blacklist me across the entire industry.

And then, if he finds out about our

relationship, you'll definitely get

dragged into this.

>> You submitted that design yourself. I

don't care how you do it. But you cannot

let Cla shine in front of Mr. Adrien

Blink. Do you hear me?

Let's go. We can't go.

Claire, um, I suddenly need to use the

restroom. Can you come with me? Are you

in elementary school?

>> Claire, I should apologize to you.

Apologize to you in person.

>> Why didn't you just do this earlier?

Claire, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong.

>> We were all competing fairly. What did

you do wrong?

>> Claire, I really know I was wrong. I

shouldn't have stolen your design

blueprints and pass them off as my own

to submit to the Blake group. If Adrien

finds out, I won't be able to stay in

this industry. I'll be finished. Please

help me out. Will you help me?

>> Why should I help you, Elena? Before you

steal from someone, you should think

about whether you deserve it. If you're

not worthy of it, disaster will follow.

>> Claire, look at our all these years of

friendship. Help me one last time,

please. If you just agree to give me the

chance to enter the Blake group, I I'll

give Nathan back to you. Isn't he the

one you love the most?

That piece of trash. If you like him so

much, you can keep him. One of you is an

idiot. The other is just plain evil. You

two deserve each other. That way you

won't go out and hurt anyone else.

>> You brought this on yourself. Don't

blame me. What are you doing?

[laughter]

>> Claire, I was wrong. Claire, please

don't do this. I'll give you this

opportunity. I'll give you the chance to

join Blake Group. Please don't hurt me.

No, don't hurt me.

Claire Monroe, you're despicable. Even

if Miss Brooks is more talented than

you, you can't just hurt her to secure

your own position at Blake Group.

>> Are you okay, Elena?

>> Yeah.

>> Elena, how are you? Adrienne is still

waiting.

>> Nathan, my hand.

>> What's wrong with your hand?

>> I won't be able to draw blueprints for a

while.

>> You Do you have any idea how long

I've been waiting for this chance to

collaborate with Blake Group? You've

ruined everything.

>> Bullying a woman in front of all these

people. What kind of man are you, Hulk?

>> It hurts. It hurts.

>> Ouch. Ouch. Are you [music] okay,

Nathan?

>> Are you okay? Who are you?

>> I'll see you.

>> Well, listen. He is my boyfriend.

[music]

>> See you.

>> Boyfriend.

>> Didn't I tell you to wait for me at

home? You just ran out here recklessly.

What if the Blake group finds you?

Actually, I boyfriend. Huh? Claire, just

a few days ago, you were still clinging

to me. And now, after just a few days,

you found yourself a pretty boy to back

you up. Is that it? Let me tell you

something. This is the Blake group. What

does he think he is? When young Master

Blake gets here, let's see how he deals

with you two. You have no idea what

you're up against.

>> As long as I'm here today, no one will

lay a finger on her. Still talking big,

huh? Who do you think you are? Young

Master Blake.

Nathan. This guy, he looks familiar. I

feel like I've seen him somewhere.

I remember now. He's He's a professor at

our university. The news reported that

he went bankrupt.

>> Bankrupt?

A broke professor? Claire, I have to

say, your taste in men is getting worse

and worse.

>> Nathan, look at him. Doesn't he look a

bit like you?

>> Oh, you found yourself a replacement. No

wonder. Are you still that hung up on

me?

>> Could it be that's the real reason she

got close to me?

>> All right, here's the deal. I'll give

you one more chance. As long as you go

to Adrien Blake yourself and apologize.

Admit that you not only plagiarized her

work, but also injured her hand. I might

consider giving you a spot at Shen Corp,

letting you stay by my side.

>> She was clearly outmatched, got

embarrassed, and deliberately hurt her

own hand. She should be the one

apologizing. Exactly. If she knows

what's good for her, she'll admit her

mistake. If this goes to Adrien Blake,

getting blacklisted would be the least

of her worries. The Blake group has

countless ways to make her life in

Harbor City impossible.

>> Exactly. Someone like her doesn't

deserve to stay in Harbor City.

>> Claire, I believe in you.

>> Claire Monroe, what does it matter if

you're capable? You're destined to be

beneath me for the rest of your life. A

total loser.

>> Listen up, Claire. I'll give you a count

of three. If you don't admit you're

wrong, I'll immediately call the people

from Blake Corp to deal with this

properly. Three,

two, one.

>> Fine. I gave you a chance. You didn't

take it. Don't blame me for turning on

you. Let's go.

>> Stop.

>> What? Changed your mind.

>> Nathan Cole, you didn't really think I

was stupid enough to have no backup

plan, did you?

>> Claire, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't

have stolen your design blueprints and

passed them off as my own to submit to

Blake Corp.

>> If Mr. Blake finds out, I'll be finished

in this industry. Please, you have to

help me.

>> Why should I help you? You brought this

on yourself. Don't blame me. You're

going too far. What are you doing?

>> It wasn't her design. She stole it from

someone else.

>> So, you're the one who plagiarized and

here I thought you were a big shot.

Turns out you're just a loser who's not

even as good as me. [music]

>> Doesn't that mean we've all

misunderstood Miss Claire? She's clearly

so talented and we've been insulting her

all this time. Nathan, I didn't think

she'd secretly record a video.

>> Nathan Cole, you think if Mr. Blake

finds out your girlfriend is that kind

of person, he'll still want to work with

you?

>> Give me that phone. Give me the phone.

>> Nathan, are you okay? Nathan,

>> you're not hurt.

>> Professor Blake, you protected her.

Well,

>> Cla, don't get too cocky. Let me tell

you something. It's just a business

opportunity. I can walk away from it if

I want. Within 3 months, my business

empire will surpass the Blake Group.

When that happens and I become Harbor

City's richest person, I want you on

that day right in front of me to kneel

and apologize to me.

>> 3 months from now, that's the day the

lottery numbers are drawn. Looks like

he's still clinging to the delusion that

Elena Brooks brings him good luck.

>> Forget 3 months. Even if I gave you 300

years, you still couldn't do it. Right

now, the late prove tiniest fraction. A

bankrupt, broke professor who needs to

be supported by a woman like Clare. At

least I have my company. What do you

have? What gives you the right to

challenge me? Let me tell you something.

I can just snap my fingers and you'll be

thrown out of here immediately.

>> The one who should be thrown out is you.

Call all the security guards to the

penthouse lobby. [music]

>> You enjoying playing CEO, are we? You

really think you're young Master Blake?

If you were young master Blake, your

research institute wouldn't have gone

bankrupt.

>> Freeze. Stay put. Don't move.

>> Let go of me.

>> Impossible. How could you possibly be

young Master Blake? Clear Monroe, a

woman as unlucky as you. How could you

catch the eye of the richest man?

>> Our CEO has stated that you are

suspected of rigging the interview

process. All enterprises under the Blake

Group and all Blake Group partners will

never work with you again. No, I've been

framed. I WANT TO SEE YOUNG MASTER

BLAKE.

>> Take them away.

>> I want to see young Master Blake.

>> Take them away.

>> I WANT TO SEE YOUNG MASTER BLAKE. Let go

of me. Let go of me.

>> Show's over, everyone. All of you

disperse. Let's go.

>> So, after all this time, they were

stealing someone else's designs.

>> Yeah.

>> Let's go, Mr. Blake.

Are they gone?

>> I just saw his badge. It said special

assistant to Adrien Blake.

To have Mr. Blackwood personally come to

collect a debt, you must owe the

Blackwood group a fortune. If they find

out you're dead meat

>> with you here. You'll protect me, right,

>> Claire? You crossed the line last night.

Why are you getting carried away again

today? He's going to be the world's

richest man someday. The women around

him are a dime a dozen. At best, you're

just his investor. I know you were

trying to help me. That phone call

really scared Nathan. All right. It must

be because I just sent the video of

Elena to the CEO's office. After Adrien

saw it, he sent his bodyguard.

>> Nathan,

>> I'm going to see Adrien later. I'll

plead your case to him. Ask him to give

you a few more days.

>> But you're just a new intern who just

passed the interview. What leverage do

you have to help me?

>> Don't worry about that. Your top

priority right now is to get out of

Blackwood Group immediately.

Here's the plan. I'll leave first. You

cover me. Then sneak out the back door.

This Monroe. Hello. Let me reintroduce

myself.

I'm the CEO of the Blackwood Group,

Adrien Blackwood.

>> [music]

[sighs]

[clears throat]

>> Claire, I didn't mean to hide it from

you. Actually, I have another identity.

I am the CEO of the Blackwood Group.

Come in.

Rumor has it that young Master Blackwood

has been living abroad, is handsome and

tall, and never shows his true face. If

I could catch his eye, then Clare Monroe

would spend her whole life without even

a chance to shine my shoes. It would be

completely gone.

Young Master Blackwood, I'm the one who

just interviewed Elena Brooks.

>> Who let you in?

>> What happened earlier was a

misunderstanding.

It was all Nathan Cole from the Cole

Group. He wanted to secure a partnership

with the Blackwood Group and forced me

to steal someone else's design

blueprints for the interview. He forced

you.

>> But I saw you stealing someone else's

designs without a shred of guilt. Young

Master Blackwood, you don't understand.

Cla Monroe is my best friend. The person

she loves most is Nathan Cole. They had

a falling out and put me in a difficult

position.

Young Master Blackwood, if you're

willing to give me another chance to

compete fairly with Clare Monroe, I'd do

anything for you.

>> Get out.

Mr. Blake, Cleo Monroe. She's madly in

love with Nathan Cole. Even if you hire

her into Blake Corp, her heart's still

with Nathan. She'll just take advantage

of Blake Corp and give it all to the

Shen.

>> Get out.

You You

Mr. Blake, didn't you already kick them

out?

>> How did she end up here in such

disarray?

>> The silhouette. Why does it look so

familiar?

>> Didn't I tell you to get out?

>> Mr. Blake, your assistant, Evan, invited

me here. If your company has no

intention of hiring me, you could have

just told me. Why play games with me?

>> Wait a second.

Or is it that you and Miss Elena Brooks

who just left? Made some private deal.

You don't need me anymore.

>> Just now Elena ran out like that. She

must have misunderstood me. Blake Corp

doesn't hire freeloaders since you and

Nathan Cole from Shang Group are so

close. Then why apply for a job at Blake

Corp?

>> Elena Brooks really tells you

everything. Did she also tell you that

Nathan Cole and I had a falling out?

We'll never speak again. [music]

>> If you invited me here just to ask these

ridiculous questions, then I think

there's no need for me to join Blake

Industries. [music]

>> Wait,

why did the power go out all of a

sudden?

>> Don't touch me, Mr. Blake. Please keep

your hands to yourself.

>> Keep my hands to myself. If you knew who

I was, would you still say that? Clear

Monroe.

Don't you want to know who I am? Don't

you want to know what my face looks

like?

>> Mr. Blake, I admit I have my own motives

for wanting to join Blake Industries,

but I would never stoop as low as Elena

Brooks. I wouldn't be so shameless as to

sell myself out just for a job.

Did you even do what I told you to? How

did you beg Adrien?

>> I did everything I was supposed to, but

he just won't give me a chance. And he

insisted on keeping that Claire

Monroe around.

>> So just now, I misunderstood Mr. Blake.

>> In our past life, Clare Monroe was a

jinx. Elena was the one born lucky. How

did everything change now? Nathan,

please. If we don't cooperate with Blake

Corp, what about the millions in that

financial hole in your company? What are

we going to do?

Will the Cole family go bankrupt?

Say that again.

Enough. We still have that $5 million

lottery ticket. Even without Blake Corps

cooperation, I can make a comeback.

What are you staring at? Let's go.

>> Nathan Cole, too bad you'll never.

I just offended Mr. Blake. Gh. There

goes the job I had in the bag.

Don't see me. Don't see me. Don't see

me. Don't see me. Don't see me.

>> Miss Monroe.

Mr. Blackwood, I was blind to your true

stature before.

>> Ah, that's all [music] water under the

bridge. As elders, we shouldn't nitpick

with you youngsters.

>> Making sure Mr. Blackwood has no heirs

should count as a big deal, right?

>> Carrying the Blackwood air is a

tremendous blessing.

As expected of my old grandson, that

Adrien, he's always so decisive and

efficient. Why does it feel like Mr.

Blackwood is so happy to hear the news

about Adrien having no heirs?

>> Miss Shu, will you still be able to join

Blackwood group? With a child on the

way, the wedding needs to be planned.

I'll go back tonight and contact the

world's top wedding planners. We'll hold

a wedding of the century for them.

>> Adrien probably won't agree to that

anymore, right?

[music]

>> What he says doesn't count. Don't worry,

I'll support you. If you want to work,

you can go back to Blackwood Group. If

you don't want to work, then go home and

rest up properly.

>> The rumors are true. Mr. Blackwood is

indeed kind-hearted. I do want to work

at Blackwood Group. But Mr. Blackwood, I

have one more request.

>> No need to be so formal. If it's within

my power,

I'll definitely help.

>> It's about my friend Adrien Blake. He

owes Blackwood Group a huge sum of

money. I was hoping you could do him a

favor. Give him a few more days. Three

months at most. I I'll definitely help

him pay back that money.

>> It seems Adrien still hasn't told her

the truth about who he is.

Miss Monroe, with all due respect, an

internship at Blake Group's R&D

department pays at most $30,000 a month,

but Adrian owes millions. How are you

going to pay that back?

>> That's my business. Even if I have to

risk my life, I'll help Adrien pay back

that money.

>> After all, trading a few million for a

return of hundreds of millions. Only a

fool would pass that up,

>> Miss Monroe. How noble of you,

[music]

>> Adrien. Girls like Clare, who aren't

materialistic, who are genuine and

sincere, are rare these days, especially

since she's carrying your

>> carrying what?

>> It seems this silly boy doesn't know

he's about to be a father. Let's leave

it to Clare to tell him herself.

Anyway, you must treat that girl right.

>> I never expected that to help pay off my

debt, she'd be willing to risk her life.

>> When exactly are you going to tell her

who you really are? She's done so much

for you. She cares for you so deeply.

Yet, you've been keeping her in the

dark. I'm just worried that if you tell

her now so suddenly, she might not be

able to handle it. [bell]

>> Professor Blake, I passed the Blake

Group interview, Crown Plaza Mall. Come

celebrate with me.

>> Crown Plaza?

That's one of our properties.

I'll have my people reserve the entire

mall for my future granddaughter-in-law.

>> Have a seat, Grandpa.

>> Clear. Monroe. [music]

>> My place is only a few miles from the

mall. What took you so long?

>> Traffic. Let's go. [music]

>> Look. Do you like this outfit?

>> Isn't this supposed to be celebrating

your success? Why are we shopping for

me?

>> I went for an interview at Blake Corp.

Right. I overheard some employees

talking. In a week, there's a private

party for Adrien Blake. He's only

inviting trusted business partners. And

from that group, he'll pick a partner

for the construction tender project.

I'll get you an invitation. Maybe you

can win the bid, too. But then what if

you don't have decent clothes to wear?

In my past life, Nathan Cole met Adrien

Blake at that party and secured the deal

with Blake Corb. This time, Adrien Blake

won't let him show up. But if Professor

Blake attends, couldn't he meet Adrien

Blake, too?

Your shoes. How are they exactly the

same as Adrien Blakes?

>> Oh no, I left in such a hurry. I forgot

to change my shoes.

>> This brand isn't cheap.

Could it be?

Seriously?

>> 150. A pudian knockoff. [music]

I have a lot of social engagements, but

I'm a bit short on cash lately. To keep

up appearances,

I just buy a fake one.

>> Pick whatever you like. Today,

everything you buy is on me. I'm being

so generous. When Adrien Blake makes it

big someday, he'll definitely repay me.

The cheapest suit we have here costs

28,000. You cheapos wearing knockoffs

can't afford it. Stop making a fool of

yourselves here. Who says we can't

afford it? Take down that gray one. Let

him try it on. Try it on and then not

buy it. I've seen plenty of freeloaders

like you. You're nothing new. I'm just

not getting it. What are you going to do

about it?

I recorded what you just said. I'll take

it to the mall manager. Tell me, do you

think you'll still have a job?

>> You What do you mean you? Hurry up and

take it down.

When did you record that?

>> I didn't record anything. I was just

bluffing.

>> Wait.

>> I'll take this suit. Wrap it up for me.

>> Yes, ma'am. I'll pack it right away.

Hold on.

We were here first. But you didn't say

you wanted it. Besides, this suit costs

180,000. You're wearing knockoffs. Can

you even afford it?

>> A measly 18,000. Nathan has plenty of

money. Not just one. A 100 suits. Nathan

can afford them all.

>> Claire regretting it now. Picked a broke

loser.

Let me tell you, if you're still the

same as before, get on your knees and

beg me. I might just be in a good mood

and lend you some cash.

>> Get your dirty hands off.

>> I'm talking about you, the broke loser.

Can't even afford a suit.

>> With me here today, you're not taking a

single thing from the store. Not a

thing.

>> You've got some nerve. This mall is

owned by the Blake Group. And you think

you're Adrien?

>> After all, Adrien Blake wouldn't even

give me the time of day. So why would he

ever look twice at someone like Clare

Monroe?

within 1 minute. I want Nathan Cole's

payment privileges blocked at all moors

under the Blackwood Group, and I don't

want to see him set foot on any

Blackwood property ever again.

Claire Monroe, the guy you just hooked

up with, why does he have to put on such

an act? I'm going to wipe that smug look

off your faces today. I'll show you

who's really in charge here. Run the

card.

>> Right away, sir.

>> Master, humiliation detected. Activate

system. Just three health points to

exchange for some good luck today.

>> If Adrien Blake's pride takes a hit

today and he gives up, then all my early

investment goes down the drain.

>> Card declined. This user has been

blacklisted.

>> This

card declined. Insufficient funds.

>> Nathan Cole. So, whose face got slapped?

>> How could this happen? He couldn't

really be

>> impossible. But there was still $200,000

for company operations. Where's the

money? Where did the money go? Only you

know the password. I'm asking you.

Where's the money?

>> You clearly said you had plenty of money

left. How should I know? There's only

200,000 left. I spent it all on jewelry.

>> On jewelry?

>> Look at you dressed to the nines. Turns

out you're just broke posers.

Get lost.

>> His pockets are emptier than mine. Go

bother him. I can't afford it. And he

can't afford it either.

>> Get out. You

I was so busy dealing with them, I

forgot about you, two still hanging

around shamelessly. What? Waiting for me

to tell you to get the hell out?

>> Get your manager over here. Who do you

think you are? You think you're worthy

of seeing our manager?

>> Who's asking for me?

>> Manager, these poppers here can't afford

our suits, and they're causing trouble

in the store, ruining our business. How

dare anyone cause trouble in a Bose

group mall? Manager, you can't let them

get away with this.

>> Idiot, are you blind? Do you have any

idea who he is?

>> Idiot, are you blind? Do you have any

idea who he is?

Is this how I trained you? Didn't I tell

you? Anyone who steps into our store is

our honored guest. Is this how you treat

our honored guests?

My apologies. Our staff training was

inadequate. We've ruined your mood. I'll

fire her immediately. We absolutely will

not allow such an employee to remain at

the Blake Group's Mall and tarnish its

reputation.

>> Let's go to another store.

As compensation for you both, everything

in the store today is yours to choose

from. Furthermore, on behalf of the

mall,

[music]

we've prepared for you a gift card worth

$200,000. Please accept it. [music]

Pick anything you want. And they're

giving us a $200,000 gift card. I never

thought using just three health points

could bring this much good luck.

>> Please write this way.

>> [music]

>> They got compensation. What about us?

>> You You get nothing.

>> Why do they get it?

>> Their status is beyond your league.

>> Claire Monroe is just an orphan with no

family. And that man with her is just a

bankrupt professor. What status could he

possibly have?

In my past life, Elena was the one who

brought me the most luck. So why is it

that in this life, all the good fortune

has been taken by that Claire? Do

you have any idea who I am? I'm the

young master of the Cole family and a

future partner of the Blake Corporation.

Even Adrien Blake shows me respect. And

you, if you know what's good for you,

hand over the compensation. Otherwise,

I'll make one call and you'll be out of

a job. What? You know our Adrien Blake?

guards.

>> From now on, these two are banned from

all Blake Corporation malls. Throw these

two arrogant fools out. Yes, sir.

>> Let's go.

>> Let go of me.

>> Nathan Cole, without the good luck I

gave you, you're destined to fail in

this life.

What's wrong? Feeling sorry for him?

>> I was fooled by his sweet talk for far

too long. That's why I was so obsessed

with him.

And besides, in this life, what I hate

most is being lied to. If anyone dares

to deceive me, I will never let them get

away with it. Then what if someone

unintentionally kept something from you?

>> Professor Blake, you don't have any

secrets you're keeping from me, do you?

>> Clear Monroe. Actually, I was

>> just kidding. Your situation is all over

the internet. What else is there that I

don't know?

Manager, wrap up this suit.

>> Wait a second. I'll stick with the

knockoffs. Let's go check out the

women's section today. Buying for you is

more important.

[music]

>> Look at all these

pretty little dresses. Once I invest in

Adrien Blake and become a billionaire,

I'll come take you all home. [music]

>> Wrap up everything she touched.

He's joking. Are you crazy? This brand

is super expensive. 200,000 isn't even

enough for a belt.

>> Miss, today is our brand's 50th

anniversary. All the items you just

selected are eligible for our

celebration 70% off sale. That comes out

to just 180,8

uh just 8,888.

[music]

That's not 70% off. That's practically

giving it away. [music]

Just three health points can get you

this kind of luck. The fortune system

has never been this generous before. I

need to make the most of it.

Are all the other clothes in the store

part of this promotion?

M

>> I happen to have a few friends who'd

like to join in on this deal. Could you

please pack up all the clothes in the

store for me?

>> Claire, if you have any friends who want

some? They can just come pick them up at

the store later. [music]

>> What friends do I have? Didn't the

manager just give us a $200,000 gift

card? We can use that money to buy these

clothes at a low price and then sell

them later at full price. [music]

>> Do what she says. Okay,

[music]

[music]

Miss Claire, this piece is our inseason

designer's high-end custom creation.

There's only one in the world. We really

can't give you a discount. [music]

Otherwise, we'd take a huge loss.

>> You like it? Here, put it on my card.

>> All right.

You're already tied on cash. [music]

Why spend your own money? Let me see how

much you spent. Why won't you let me

see? You must have spent a lot. Give it

to me.

[music]

you.

[music]

[music]

>> I'll take these clothes to the car

first.

[music]

[music]

>> It's all my fault for embarrassing you.

I'm not as lucky as Claire Monroe. Then

why did you come looking for me? Go find

her then.

>> Listen to me. I know I was wrong. I lost

my cool out there today. Just let that

gloat for a couple more days.

Once our lottery ticket hits, I'll make

her kneel before you and apologize.

I'll make that get down on her

knees in front of you and apologize.

>> Really?

>> Seriously? Come on. Of

course it's true. Today at the mall, you

love looking at those high-end women's

clothes, right? The luxury brands. I

already bought you a dress online from

their official site. In a couple of days

at Adrienne's party, my baby will

definitely steal the show.

>> That dress is really expensive. It costs

tens of thousands of dollars.

>> Small change. [sighs]

>> Honey, you're so good to me.

If I hadn't found online someone selling

a used one cheap, how could I ever

afford to buy you such an expensive

dress?

>> Cla Monroe, I stole such a great man

from you. [music] You must be so jealous

you're going crazy.

[snorts]

It's so late. Why aren't you asleep?

>> I just posted the clothes we bought

today on a secondhand platform. And I

got an order right away. But this

address looks a bit familiar.

Skyline Hotel, room 108.

>> Forget about these unimportant details

for now.

Let's talk about what really matters.

[sighs]

>> Claire, take a good look at my face. You

really can't remember anything.

Your face

is actually quite handsome. [music]

>> And

>> huh.

>> Since you've forgotten everything, let's

take a trip down memory lane.

>> Hey, wait, wait. Let's talk this out.

Keep your hands to yourself.

You not only helped me pay off my debts,

you even let me stay at your place.

Besides that,

I don't know what else I can give you.

Or did you get close to me for another

reason? Or maybe just like Nathan Cole

said, I look a bit like him, so you're

using me as a substitute. [music]

>> I can't let him find out that I'm after

his future. Then all my early investment

would be for nothing.

Oh, I admit Nathan Cole's face does bear

some resemblance to you, but Adrien

Blake's demeanor and looks are something

he could never hope to match.

Actually, Adrien Blake is a big name in

academia. I've admired you for a long

time.

my heart.

What do I waste my

[music]

[snorts]

>> No way. Claire, you're so useless.

>> Claire,

Mr. Blake, Miss Monroe has severe

anemia. She's been overworked these past

few days, so her symptoms have worsened.

Mr. Blake. Shh.

Okay.

>> How are you feeling? Anywhere else that

hurts?

>> It must be me draining my health points.

>> I know my own body. It's just a minor

issue. No need to waste money on a

hospital stay.

>> Don't move.

Don't move.

You fainted. How can that be minor?

Listen to me. Let the doctor give you a

thorough checkup.

[laughter]

Ms. Monroe's condition is already quite

serious. She should be admitted for

treatment as soon as possible. What

treatment? She's just sickly. Always

sick with one thing or another. She'll

get through it. Why waste the money?

[sighs]

>> I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. I

shouldn't have said that.

>> Don't be afraid. It's just a simple

physical exam. I'll be right here with

you,

>> Professor Blake. Thank you.

Could [sighs]

it be I used up my lottery luck too

early? I used up my lottery luck too

early and my terminal illness came

early, too. Are the test results that

bad?

>> Let me see.

>> Claire, all these years, how have you

been taking care of yourself?

>> All these years, what have you been

doing?

Have you not had a decent meal?

>> Luckily, it's just malnutrition. I

thought I was dying again.

>> What did you say?

>> Nothing.

I mean,

>> Adrien, having you here is really nice.

>> Don't think sweet talk will get you off

the hook. Starting tomorrow, you're not

going back to Blake Corp, either. Focus

on recovering at home.

>> No. Working at Blake Corp has always

been my dream.

>> Besides, if I don't work, how else am I

supposed to support you?

I'm sorry.

>> It's okay. If you ever think about doing

something stupid again, just think of

me. I've lost all my family.

>> But I'm still living my life in this

world, cherishing life. So what more do

you have to complain about?

>> Then from now on, I'll be your family.

Young master, it's time for us to go.

[singing]

I'll be waiting for you at Blit Corp.

That promise we made back then. Maybe

I'm the only one who remembers it now.

If it weren't for Nathan Cole's face

bearing some resemblance to his, in my

past life, I wouldn't have been so

blind, completely fooled by Nathan Cole.

[sighs]

I won't give up my job at Blake

Industries and I'll focus on getting

better. Don't worry, no one's worth

hurting myself over. Not anymore.

[sighs and gasps]

Okay,

I promise. But you have to promise me

something, too. Whenever, wherever, if

you're not feeling well, tell me right

away. Understand?

Mr. Blake Nathan call from Shen

Corporation sent a jade bracelet. He

says it's meant to pair with your family

heirloom. He hopes you'll let bygones be

bygones. Forgive his indiscretion and

allow him to attend your private party

to bid. This Nathan Cole went all out at

the auction, blew his fortune on this

piece of junk.

The quality isn't even 1 10,000th of my

family's heirloom jade.

Take it back to him. Then I'll also

decline his request to attend your

party.

>> Wait,

let him come.

Do as I say.

Grandpa, I plan to at this private

gathering come clean to Clare about who

I am and propose to her.

>> Really?

>> Really? It seems I'm getting closer to

holding my great-grandchild is one step

closer. You'll come back to the old

house with me. I'll give you the Blake

family heirloom. the Emperor Green Jade

bracelet to you. You give it to my

precious grandson's wife.

>> Since it's a proposal,

>> of course, it's more fun with more

people.

>> Today is a very important day. Why

aren't you wearing the Hod Coutura dress

I gave you?

>> Important day? I'm just a small

employee. It's not appropriate to dress

so flashy.

But you, when you meet Adrien Blake

later, you should go up and say a few

words to him. I know you're aloof, but

he could be a big help to your future

business if he can rely on Adrien Blake,

this benefactor, to succeed in his

startup early. My little investment can

be recouped sooner.

This is a jade bracelet. No, it's too

valuable.

>> Don't. I've been wanting to say this for

a while. This watch is really ugly. It

doesn't suit your style at all.

>> Don't throw it away. This watch has a

special meaning to me.

>> Then you should wear it properly. The

bracelet I gave you. As for why I gave

it to you, you'll find out soon.

>> Can you give my watch back now?

>> I saw a few familiar faces. I'll be over

later. You go on in.

>> Okay.

>> I heard that today's party is being

hosted by Adrien Blake himself. This is

his first public appearance in so many

years. I'm going to seize this

opportunity and make a lasting

impression on Adrien Blake. I missed him

last time. This time, I'll use my beauty

to make him remember me once I become

Clare Monroe's boss's wife. Let's see

how she can keep acting so high and

mighty.

I think you should just give up on that

idea. My dad works with the Blake group.

He says the Blake family already has a

chosen future mistress. That Blake

family heirloom Imperial Jade bracelet

has already been given to her.

Huh? Miss, you have a jade bracelet on

your wrist, too. Could it be the Blake

family heirloom?

>> So, the bracelet Yunki gave me looks a

lot like the Blake family heirloom, and

I can definitely make good use of this.

No wonder I recognized it at a glance.

The dress missing is from a high-end

brand. The Blake Families is certainly

generous towards their future

daughter-in-law.

>> I didn't want to be so conspicuous, but

who would have thought? I'd still get

noticed.

>> Miss, you're so elegant and refined. I

think no one in this entire venue can

compare to you. No wonder Adrien Blake

took a liking to you.

[music]

Huh? Which family's daughter is she?

She's dazzlingly beautiful.

>> She's just an orphan with no parents.

The Blake group took her in to give her

a way to make a living.

Look, she's wearing an Imperial Jade

bracelet, too. How does she have one? An

identical bracelet. Could she be the

one? No way. Her boyfriend is clearly

that poor professor. That poor

professor.

Claire Monroe. You're no match for me in

anything. And now you're starting to

copy me. I wear an Imperial Jade

bracelet, so you buy a cheap knockoff

just to spite me. [music]

>> So it's a fake.

>> I'm copying you, Elena Brooks. I've been

too nice to you, and now you've

forgotten your place.

[laughter]

You How dare you treat me like

this? She's the young mistress of the

Blake family. How dare you throw a drink

at her? The Blakes won't let this slide.

I was planning to deal with Nathan Cole

first, Elena Brooks, but since you're

asking for it, don't blame me for being

harsh.

>> The young mistress of the Blake family

would never be caught wearing secondhand

clothes. You What are you implying? How

could the Blake family fall so low?

Claire, Monroe, you're talking nonsense.

I bought this dress at the boutique.

>> But I just sold an identical dress on a

secondhand platform a few days ago. Too

bad the zipper was broken, so I only got

$800 for it.

How could a low-level employee like you

afford such an expensive dress? It's way

too pricey, and you're selling it

secondhand for $800. That's just wishful

thinking. Miss Elena is so elegant and

refined. Turn around and show her. If

the zipper is fine, we'll back you up.

We'll make this get out. Of

course, I can turn around. But if this

dress isn't what you claim it is, I want

you on your knees apologizing to me.

What more do you have to say for

yourself? Get on your knees and

apologize. Claire, don't tell me you're

going back on your word. Too scared to

get on your knees and apologize. Ladies,

our Miss Claire is a bit shy. Why don't

you help her out?

Elena, do you still think Nathan truly

loves you?

[music]

Even if he doesn't love me, he won't

love you either. [music] Claire, I

didn't lose to you. Oh, take me to

change my clothes now.

Where's Adrien? He couldn't have gotten

lost, could he?

>> [sighs]

>> Hello.

Hello, Adrien Blake. You need to get

here now. Mr. Blake will be here soon.

We can't let Nathan Cole beat us to it

and let him win the bidding project.

>> Wait for me. I have a surprise for you.

How's it going? The billiond dollar

gallery and the deeds to eight villas

are all ready. The air freighted flowers

and the 10 karat diamond ring for the

proposal have also been delivered to the

door.

>> Once I change my clothes,

I'll reveal my true identity and propose

to Claire.

>> You can do this.

Who would have thought that the aloof,

unapproachable professor from my past

life, Adrien Blake, would also prepare a

surprise for me.

Adair

Monroe, you just humiliated me. Weren't

you feeling pretty smug? How come now

you can't swim?

Nathan Cole, do you have any idea this

is the Blackwood group's turf? If you do

this, Mr. Blake won't let you get away

with it.

>> Mr. Blake, I I am his most favored

partner. Even if I kill you here, he

won't say a word. Besides, didn't you

fall on your own? What does that have to

do with us?

>> Exactly. She bullied the young mistress

of the Bow family so much at first. Now,

it's time she got a taste of her own

medicine. Take her down a peg.

The young mistress of the Bow family.

>> These idiots. Because of this bracelet,

they've mistaken me for the young

mistress of the Bow family.

>> Why don't I just play along with their

mistake? Let them teach her a good

lesson. Master, the system detects you

are in crisis. Would you like to expend

eight health points to exchange for good

luck to turn the situation around?

If every time I face a crisis, I have to

rely on the system to solve it, I'll be

trapped by it for the rest of my life,

>> Nathan, why is it so quiet? You don't

think she's dead, do you?

>> Don't Don't say things like that. It's

fine. She fell in on her own anyway.

Even if something happens, that's her

own bad luck.

What? What?

[laughter]

You want to join him?

Claire, you you ruined Adrienne's

proposal. The Blakes won't let you get

away with this.

>> Exactly. A woman only gets proposed to

once in her life. And you just wrecked

it. I'm so upset. It's all this bitch's

fault. If I punish her for Adrien, he'll

definitely thank us.

>> Claire, you'll never beat me.

>> Master has forcibly disconnected from

the system. 10 health points must be

returned.

>> Finch, you must be jealous. Miss Fi got

a proposal from Adrien, so you sabotaged

it on purpose, right? How can there be a

woman as vicious as you? Apologize to

Miss Bi right now. Apologize to Miss B

now.

>> I didn't do anything wrong. Apologize. I

won't.

>> How shameless. Looks like one dip in the

water wasn't enough to clear your head.

Maybe we should push her in again.

[laughter]

Claire,

>> I'm sorry. I got here too late.

>> Professor Blake, what took you so long?

Your little surprise kept me waiting

forever.

>> Let's go.

>> Don't you move.

You ruined Adrien Blake's proposal

ceremony. And you think you can just

walk away? Who the hell do you think you

are? Let me tell you something. Adrien

Blake is my business partner. At the

dinner table, he still calls me sir

today as his elder. I'm here to teach

you two a proper lesson. You have no

idea who you're messing with.

Evan, I think you got the wrong person.

It was them. They're the ones who ruined

Mr. Blake's proposal.

>> He is Mr. Blake, the sole heir to the

Blackwood group, Adrien Blackwood.

>> So, you're the Blackwood heir.

You're Mr. Blackwood's own grandson.

You were never bankrupt.

>> Impossible. He He's just a poor

professor. The news about the Pay

family's bankruptcy, the whole city

knows about it. How could he suddenly

become the heir? That's because his

mother was a Blackwood, the only

daughter of the Blackwood group 7 years

ago. Because that Pay Scum abused her to

death. Get revenge. Mr. Blake personally

brought down the Pay family.

Clear. Clear.

Mr. Mr. Blake. Mr. Blake, please give me

another chance. I'll work for you. Do

anything. I'll be your dog. I'll serve

the the Blackwood group. I'll serve you

faithfully. Please spare me. Today,

every single one of you who laid a

finger on my wife or even a single hair

on her head will not get off easy.

Adrien, I'm sorry. Adrien, I really know

I was wrong. Please, please tell Mr.

Blake. I know I messed up.

>> You know now, too late. Your company has

already been shut down by Mr. Blake. You

offended his wife. You're going to go

broke.

>> It's over. All of it.

>> No, it's not. It's not over yet. There's

still that $5 million lottery ticket.

The drawing is in less than 10 days.

Once we cash in that winning ticket and

get the 5 million, we can make a

comeback. Start a new company.

>> What did the doctor say about Claire?

>> After examining Miss Monroe, the medical

doctor said her illness is strange. No

clear cause, but it's progressing

rapidly. If it's not controlled, I'm

afraid it could

>> say it develop into leukemia.

Right. The cleaning staff found this

while cleaning the pool. It should

belong to Miss Monroe.

Go on.

So that's what happened.

See

to get the money for my debt. She paid

for it with her own health.

No wonder she's been so frail all this

time.

Adrien Blake,

you're such a jerk.

Cla, your watch. I've already destroyed

it for you. Forgive me for keeping this

from you again and making a decision for

you. But I just couldn't bear to watch

you hurt yourself any longer. From now

on, you have me. You don't need any

fortune system. I'll give you everything

you want.

>> [snorts]

>> Adrien, Nathan Cole's company has been

seized. The acquisition process still

requires your final approval.

Just wait. Everyone who's ever hurt you

will pay for what they've done.

Hello,

Daniel.

I know Nathan Cole owes you a loan and I

know where he is in 7 days. Fortune

lottery hall in the main drawing hall.

He'll definitely be there.

>> Nathan Cole,

>> in our past life, I paid off your debts.

That's why you could live carefree and

fool around.

But in this life,

it's your turn to know what it's like to

be hunted down and live in hiding.

>> Mr. Blake, as you instructed, we've

transferred all of Shen Corporation's

assets into Ms. Monroe's name.

Do you think she'll like this?

as a homecoming gift.

>> Who tries to tear a girl up by giving

her a company and such a small one at

that? [music]

What corporation?

Never heard of it. If you ask me, if you

really want to win back my wonderful

granddaughter-in-law,

just propose to her. If that doesn't

work, give her the entire Blake group.

That's not a bad idea either. [music]

Grandpa, please stop giving such

terrible advice.

Grandpa, you're right. Claire will

definitely like it.

>> Hey, well, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. This old

man and the young one, they've both lost

their minds.

>> Forgive me for keeping this from you.

At first, when you helped me pay off my

debts without asking for anything

[music]

and found me a place to stay, I was

definitely guarded. But later, I was

sure you weren't a woman with ulterior

motives. But you said you hated

deception. [music]

So, for a while, I didn't know how to

tell you. Cla, can you give me another

chance [music] to make it up to you?

That's it.

Okay,

I'll say it just like that later.

>> Clear.

>> Adrien,

>> our contract is terminated.

>> Let me explain.

>> The son of the Blake family, the

bankrupt professor

has transformed into the heir of the

Blackwood group, the powerful heir.

I should have known.

I was just too naive. Every time I

noticed something off, I'd make excuses

for you. Don't touch me,

Adrien Blake. Oh, no. I should call you

young Master Blackwood now. Weren't you

just afraid that I'd find out who you

really are? Afraid I'd be after the

Blackwood family's money?

From

[music]

now on, the angel investment contract is

null and void. And whatever was between

us is over, too.

[music]

Clear. Clear.

>> [music]

>> My money. All my money is gone. [gasps]

That damn Adrien Blake.

He said he was a self-made man.

How did he turn into the heir of the

Blackwood group?

Oh,

>> if you meet a man this devoted, just

marry him. He's been coming every day

for a week, and the gifts are all

expensive. Too bad that girl was

discharged today. When she left this

morning, the doctors couldn't even stop

her.

>> What are you talking about?

>> What are you talking about?

>> Oh, the girl who was in this room, she

said something about a lottery drawing

this morning. She was in such a hurry

that she checked herself out. The doctor

said she hasn't fully recovered yet.

Claire Monroe, what are you doing here?

>> My lottery ticket is being drawn today.

I'm here to claim my prize. Of course,

>> you bought a lottery ticket, too.

>> I heard a reporter caught her having a

huge fight with Adrien Blake at the

hospital. I guess he dumped her.

Probably trying to get rich quick with

the lottery.

>> Clare Monroe, I told you you were never

that lucky. Thinking you could marry

into money. Adrien was just having fun

with you. Got tired of it and kicked you

to the curb. You didn't actually believe

him, did you? Huh?

>> Nathan Cole, instead of worrying about

me, you should be worried about

yourself.

Pay up.

>> Calm down.

>> Hey, Claire, Monroe. We live in a

society governed by law. You You brought

all these people here. Aren't you afraid

we'll call the police?

>> Go ahead. I'm counting on it. That Shen

guy owes me $3 million. I'd love someone

to help settle this.

>> 3 million? In my past life, I ruined my

health to pay off his debts. Now that

I'm gone, the creditors have come

knocking.

>> Didn't you promise to pay up today?

Look, what's the rush? You're fool. Who

are you trying to fool? We just went to

your company. Shen Enterprises is

bankrupt and seized. How the hell are

you going to pay? See for yourself. You

hit SOMEONE STREET RACING COMPANY cash

flow, hitting wars at auctions. The

money you borrowed from me, it's all

right here. You said it yourself. If you

can't pay, you pay with your organs. So,

tell me, should I take your liver first

or your kidney?

>> Dan. Daniel Foster, calm down. Calm

down. Uh, the the lottery drawing is

today. The jackpot is 5 million.

This ticket, I had someone check it.

It's a sure thing. Once the numbers are

drawn, I'll pay you back. Principle and

interest.

>> Really?

>> Really?

>> Winning the lottery is just a matter of

probability. How can you guarantee that

his ticket will win?

>> Shut your mouth, If it weren't

for you, this Jinx, winning 5 million

would be a piece of cake.

Without you, this Jinx, winning 5

million would be a piece of cake.

>> YOU DARE MESS WITH ME. If later your

lottery ticket doesn't win, you'll see

what I do to you.

>> Nathan Cole, you keep calling me a jinx.

But what if the one who wins the 5

million is me?

>> [laughter]

>> Clear.

I'm not afraid to tell you. I've

actually died once before

in my past life. If it weren't for you,

I wouldn't have suffered so much.

Thank goodness for Elena.

She was the one who bought me the

lottery ticket, who won me 5 million.

But before I could use that money to

make a comeback,

you got me killed. So in this life, I

had her buy me the exact same ticket.

When I become a millionaire at my most

glorious moment,

and you will just be the Bow family's

used and discarded secondhand goods,

you'll spend your whole life stuck in

the mud looking up at me.

>> Since you're so confident, how about we

make a bet?

>> Let's bet. If we're betting, let's make

it big. When the numbers are drawn

later, if I win that 5 million, you

Clare Monroe will transfer all your

assets to me, including that apartment

your parents gave you. Everything. And

you yourself

will be handed over to me as well.

>> Fine.

But if you lose, I want you to get on

your knees and apologize to me. Strip

naked and walk around the city three

times. To everyone you meet, you'll say

you're sorry to Claire Monroe. Not that

I'm going to lose anyway. Back.

>> Now announcing the first eight digits of

the winning number. 03 067988.

[music]

>> Hit. It's me. Exactly the same.

Even though the rest hasn't been

announced yet. We've already filtered

out the non-winners. Claire, just admit

defeat gracefully.

>> Nathan Cole,

it's not over till it's over. No need to

be in such a hurry.

All right, then. The two tickets are

identical except for the last digit.

Unbelievable. They're the same. So, the

grand prize is between the two of them.

I bet this gentleman wins.

Based on my years of experience studying

winning numbers, the last digit is

definitely a nine. I think what this

lady said, a six is also very possible.

It came up last time. It definitely

won't be a six this time. I'm also

betting on this gentleman. I've got

faith in you. I'm betting on you, too.

>> Good eye.

See that, Claire? Everyone's on my side.

That grand prize is as good as mine.

>> Blake Enterprises is putting up a

billion.

Back in clear,

>> didn't you say she got dumped by Mr.

Blake? That's what the tabloid said.

>> Blake Enterprises has never lost an

investment. They're backing Clare. Maybe

I should.

>> I've got your back. Don't worry,

>> Mr. Blake.

>> You can still back out. Once the results

are announced, that billion of yours

will be gone.

>> I never regret my decisions.

>> Now announcing the last eight digits of

the winning number. 4528

92

5

9

>> WE WON. WE WON. [laughter]

>> WE WON. WE WON.

I knew you were born lucky. I knew you'd

win.

>> Adrien, I made you lose a billion. Do

you blame me?

>> Forget a billion. As long as you can

forgive me. Even if I end up penniles,

I'd have no regrets.

>> I won't let you lose.

>> Claire, look at all these people behind

you. They have all been dragged down by

your bad luck. I told you you're a born

jinx. It's bad enough that you're

cursed, but you have to drag everyone

around you down with you.

>> Only a useless man would blame his own

failures on a woman. [music] And you,

you're a complete and utter fame.

Mr. Blake is so noble. I naturally can't

compare.

But this woman, she made a bet with me.

The lottery draw. If I won, all her

assets, including herself,

would be mine to do with as I please.

Claire,

it's time to pay up.

>> You're celebrating a little too soon.

>> Now announcing the winning numbers for

the $5 million jackpot.

>> Wait, did I only win 2,000?

>> You said we were guaranteed to win THE

JACKPOT. [music] WHERE'S THE MONEY?

>> Aren't you supposed to be born lucky?

Then why is the lottery ticket you

bought for me a loser? Why?

>> Don't get too smug. If I can't win, then

you're not winning either.

>> The winning numbers for the $5 million

jackpot are 03067988-4528-9256.

>> Six. Six. Impossible. How can this be?

Isn't she supposed to be born jinxed?

The winner should have been Elena. Why?

Why?

[gasps]

Why

>> did you think you were the only one who

was reborn?

>> Don't tell me you.

>> In my past life, the one who won the

lottery was always me. Elena Brooks

stole my ticket while I was unconscious.

Did you think my terminal illness last

life was my own damn fault? Every penny

paid back to your creditors. Every time

your company turned a corner, I paid for

it with my health. With my last breath.

I bought you that $5 million jackpot.

But you sentenced me to death with your

own hands today. It's time for you to

pay your debt.

It's time to pay your debt.

>> Nathan, I'm scared.

>> Don't touch me.

>> Elena, so you're the real Jinx. My life.

You've ruined my life.

Clear. Claire, I was wrong. Claire, just

just give me one more chance, please. I

really know I messed up. One last

chance. Just one chance.

>> Fine.

>> I'll help you atone for your sins myself

and send you on your way.

>> I'm not with him back then. If I hadn't

seen that he was the owner of a small

company, had a bit of money, I wouldn't

have given him a second look. Have

mercy. Let me go.

>> You If it weren't for you, would

I be like this now?

>> Let's go.

[music]

be a certified freak.

>> Ouch.

>> Oh my god.

>> This custommade suit cost a million and

you just plop down on a rock. Don't you

think that's a waste, Adrien?

Right now.

Should I call you Adrien or Professor

Adrien?

>> As long as you can forgive me. Call me

whatever you want.

>> Claire, I know I was wrong. Can you

forgive me?

[snorts]

>> Wen, that depends on your sincerity.

After all, I am now a millionaire. A

little small change

won't impress me.

>> How about this? I'll transfer all my

shares in Blake Group to you, plus all

my real estate, funds, stocks and three

private islands overseas.

>> Will you forgive me now?

>> I have one last request.

>> I want you to help me find someone.

Someone from the Blake family.

>> A man.

He was my obsession from my youth. If it

weren't for Nathan Cole, looking

somewhat like him, how could I have been

fooled by Nathan for so long? So, I must

find that jerk.

>> I'm also curious who that jerk is.

>> I just remember the place where we first

met. It was at villa number three at

Clearwater Bay.

>> Clearwater Bay number [music] three.

That's the Blake family's house where I

used to live.

>> Clear.

Why don't you take a good long look at

my face?

>> It's you.

[music]

>> You're the one from back then.

>> I thought because of Nathan, you'd

completely forgotten about me.

I actually went to Blackwood Group

looking for you back then. I hadn't even

graduated yet. It was your company that

turned me down.

[music]

>> [music]

>> This is all my fault. Please forgive me.

I should have found you sooner.

[music]

>> [music]

>> doesn't

change. [music]

>> Adrien Blackwood, do you take Clare

Monroe to be your wife? To have and to

hold, for better, for worse, for richer,

for poorer, in sickness, and or in even

better health. I will always love her,

always cherish her, and always be

faithful to her for as long as we both

shall live.

>> And Cla Monroe,

>> I do.

[applause]

>> Finally married.

>> Next step, booking the best postpartum

care center. The most expensive one.

Only the best.

>> Grandpa, isn't this a bit too fast?

>> What do you know? This is called a

shotgun wedding.

>> [music]

>> Professor Blake, for the rest of our

lives, I'm in your care.

[music]

>> Claire,

>> I was wrong. Claire. Claire, I was

wrong.

>> Claire, I was wrong.

I know I was wrong. Nathan Cole,

I was wrong.
