Anyway, what brings you to the area?

I came to see a client.

- A client? - Yes.

Not only do I earn money for myself,

I also plan private investments for clients.

I see.

That sounds interesting.

Do you think so?

In that case, are you interested in becoming my client?

You just need to give me your money. I'll plan everything for you.

After that, you wait for profits.

Darn it. I shouldn't have said it was interesting.

I don't have any money.

A fortune teller warned me not to invest in anything right now.

A fortune teller?

That's right.

I go to fortune tellers for fun. It's nothing serious.

Just so you know,

this isn't considered an investment.

This is based on pure luck.

- Okay. - At least,

it adds spice

to my boring life.

Oh.

My subordinate texted me saying it's time for a meeting now.

I have to go.

All right.

I'll see you later.

See you.

No, I can't just leave.

Let's pretend to trip and make my departure memorable.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Thank you for asking.

- No problem. - Thanks.

You should see a doctor.

How clumsy of me.

Yes.

I'm really leaving this time.

Watch your step.

(Liar)

(Liar)

Your job

sounds interesting.

Let's talk more about it later.

Sure.

I find it strange

how we have never met.

I don't usually attend social events.

That makes me a lucky girl then.

Why don't we get to know each other better tonight?

I actually have to meet

with many clients tonight.

For a special client like you,

why don't we set up a private appointment on another day?

All right then.

Let's head inside.

Hey.

You said you were getting a drink,

but you disappeared for a long time.

You can head inside first.

Okay.

Once you open your eyes,

I hope you can have what you wish for.

Open your eyes.

Dom.

Warodom.

Yes.

Your investment plan looks very promising.

How realistic is the return?

I will do my best to match the predicted return.

Okay, I will invest with you.

That's great news.

I've transferred you 100,000 baht.

(You've received 100,000 baht)

I will transfer you 100,000 baht every month onwards.

Thank you

for entrusting your finances to my care.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Boonnate, did you hit the jackpot or something?

You are throwing us a feast.

Yes, I did.

- Look. - What?

It's called crypto.

What on earth is that?

It's a digital currency. Look.

Explain it to me.

You make money by trading currencies.

They are new digital currencies which are very easy to use.

Most importantly,

we can make a lot of profit out of it.

- Are you sure? - Hey.

Look at this complicated screen.

How do you know what to do?

It's easy. You just need to transfer them your money.

Then, they will use your money to make profits.

There's no better or quicker way to get rich.

Let me know

if you are interested. I will hook you up. Okay?

We will become rich together.

Hey.

Keep it between us though. Don't tell anyone, okay?

Baanyen, where's Ked?

- Gosh. He's out and about. - Well...

He is failing school

and can't be trusted with anything.

He's nothing compared to his sister.

Just ignore him.

- Let's drink. - Cheers.

Let's get rich.

Your beloved daughter is home.

Hello, Boonnate.

Join us for dinner.

No, thanks. I already ate.

Wait. What's the rush?

Let's celebrate the fact that

you successfully attended a party full of handsome and rich men.

- Come here. - What?

What's with you?

Dad.

Don't tell me it was his plan

to send me to the party.

No.

You are wrong.

I didn't come up with the plan alone.

Ruja was in on it too.

Ruja told me

you were interested in three men.

Good for you.

Ti, you will have a son-in-law to support you financially soon.

Hooray!

I'm sorry

I didn't tell you it was Boonnate's plan.

I was afraid you wouldn't have gone with Ruja

if I had told you the truth.

Boonnate meant you well.

Boonnate doesn't want you to pretend to be a rich girl anymore.

He want you to have a good life.

Are you sure that's all?

I don't believe you.

Someone like Boonnate

only does things that benefit him.

I know him well.

- Hey. - What deal did you make with him?

Si, you can help me pay off my debts

by marrying a rich man.

I need to pay Boonnate the money I owe him,

along with compensation to repay his kindness.

Is Ruja getting something in return

from helping me too?

Ruja has been helping me pay off some of my debts.

If you marry a rich man, I will be able to pay her back.

Along with compensation to repay her kindness too.

You owe Ruja money now too.

Si.

Don't be mad.

Hear me out, Si.

Please.

I'm being honest with you.

Ruja used to be poor just like us.

But she used her former soldier husband's connections

to enter an elite society.

She's got connections everywhere now.

Ruja is an expert at connecting people

and persuading them for her own benefit.

Boonnate and I would never be able to help you the way Ruja could.

Dad.

Didn't I warn you?

I told you to cut ties with them.

But Boonnate did help me make money.

Dad!

He convinced you to make a random investment.

And look what happened.

You lost money and got in debt. Then the cycle continues.

I'm sorry.

Fine.

I'll tell them the plan is off.

And I'll pay Boonnate and Ruja back myself.

Don't worry about me.

Dad.

I will pay back

all of your debts.

But do me a favor.

Please don't make such a deal with anyone ever again.

All right, I won't.

All right, I promise.

Thanks so much. Thanks.

Listen, Si.

Everything I do,

I do it in hopes of giving you a better life.

All right?

Don't be mad at me,

Boonnate, and Ruja.

Everyone loves and adores you.

We want you to have a better life.

But everything comes with a price.

All right, I've taken enough of your time.

Do you like the dress I bought you?

Yes.

All right.

Just tell me what you want, and I will buy it for you.

Do we have money? I heard Mom telling you that we are broke.

Ignore her. Don't listen to her.

Just know that I will find you everything you want.

You deserve the best

because you are my princess.

Do you love me?

- Yes, I do. - I love you too.

Hold on.

Hello.

You don't have it?

You don't have the money?

Dad!

I don't have it.

You can beat me to death, but I still won't have the money.

Daddy.

Si, don't come closer.

Watch out, Si!

No!

Stop it.

Don't hurt him.

Let go, Si.

Get out of the way. Stand back.

That's enough. You might actually kill him.

If you don't pay me next time,

I will kill you.

Si...

Si.

Dad, why are they doing this to us? Is it because we don't have money?

It's okay. Don't cry.

I'm okay.

Will they stop hurting you if I give them money?

I want to have a lot of money so you can pay them back.

I will be rich.

I will be rich soon.

Will we be happy if we are rich?

Yes.

Money will bring us happiness.

When I grow up, I will make you a lot of money.

I will get rich

so we can be happy.

We will be rich soon, Dad.

Then we will finally be happy.

How's it going, Dom?

Hello, Ms. Pumriang.

Come on.

I told you to call me by my name.

This is your adjusted monthly investment plan.

It looks good to me.

You may proceed with the plan.

Aren't you going to check the details?

No, that's not necessary. I trust you.

Thank you for trusting me.

Here is this month's 200,000 baht.

I hope you accept cash.

I prefer using cash.

You know how I like tangible stuff.

I'll happily accept it, Ms. Pumriang.

You won't call me by my name, will you?

I understand.

I can tell that you are different from the men who enter my place.

But are you aware

of how charming you are?

You are a polite man.

I feel at ease around you.

I can sense

your sincerity.

Dom.

Would you mind if we talked about other things besides investment?

I'm a lonely widow.

I enjoy your company.

We could meet up for a meal or a conversation.

What do you say?

If you don't feel comfortable,

we don't have to do anything else.

Just spare me some of your time.

I will also pay you for your time.

What do you say, Dom?

Let's drink.

This is in my way. I'm going to destroy everything.

- Screw these fake goods. - Hey.

Stop it.

- Hey, stop it. - They suck!

I use these tools to make a living.

Make a living?

Oh, please. You put on a fancy outfit

and your fake voice to sell stuff online.

You are deceiving people. You liar.

You are selling fake products. It's disgusting.

I'm not deceiving them. They are happy to buy from me.

All office workers use fake products

and pretend to be rich.

How's the business going? Where's the money? You never give me money.

Because I know you will waste it away by gambling.

Don't forget we still have to pay the mortgage.

Otherwise, we won't have anything left.

- Hey, don't act like a know-it-all. - Dad!

I gamble to earn money

so you have a roof over your head.

Dad, don't ever do this to her again.

And you.

Darn it. I never see you do anything.

What have you achieved in life?

You keep the money for yourself and never give us any.

I'm your father. Don't you ever forget that.

You wouldn't be here without me.

Stop it.

- Fine. - What?

Take the money and leave.

Don't ever talk to Mom again.

Did you just throw money at me?

- You... How dare you? - Stop it.

- Dom, don't. - Dom!

Now that you have the money, leave.

Our son helps us earn money.

Are you walking away?

How dare you? Are you ignoring me?

- Are you so tough? - Hey.

- Are you so tough? - Stop.

Do you think you are so tough?

Do you think you are better than me?

See what he is doing? Our son is helping us pay the mortgage.

Stop talking! Enough!

What a waste of space.

Mom.

Mom, come sit on the sofa.

Mom, run away with me.

Let's leave this house.

We don't need it.

Let Dad live here by himself.

I can't stand seeing him treat you this way anymore.

I can't leave your father.

We've been together for a long time.

There's a bond I can't break.

It's okay, Dom.

Things will get better.

My son is a handsome man.

A beautiful and rich woman will fall for you.

Our lives will get better from there.

I will find money to pay the mortgage.

Things might get better.

And you won't have to speak for hours to make a sale.

Okay.

I should go to bed. I'm very tired.

Let him be.

He is blindly buried in the idea

that he might become rich again one day.

I can only hope

for our family

to be wealthy again.

It will make your father happy.

Go to bed. You had a long day.

It's just paper.

Why do we let it control us?

When I grow up, I will make you a lot of money.

I will get rich so we can be happy.

Si.

Do you like it?

I know you had your eye on a dress like this one.

That's why I tried sewing it for you.

Wear it. I think it will suit you.

I can't wear it, Mom.

Anyone can tell that it's fake.

I'm afraid I can't wear it.

It's up to you then.

I'll consider it practice to work on a new design.

If you don't like it, I will sell it then.

Si.

What is it? I have to go to work.

Listen.

I hate to come between you and your father.

But I disagree with the plan he and Boonnate came up with.

I don't want you to lie about our status.

I don't see the need for you to know those rich men.

They might be insincere.

We earn money by taking care of the house.

And you get your salary.

If we live frugally, it will be enough money.

We won't have to depend on anyone else financially.

Is it really enough, Mom?

Do we really

make enough money?

Dad is in debt.

He owes a bunch of people money.

How can we pay for it all?

Do me a favor.

Stop telling yourself

that it's okay to be poor.

If you keep telling us to live frugally,

we will continue to suffer.

Our lives won't get better, and we will never be rich.

Do you understand?

Yes.

I'm sorry for ruining your mood this early in the morning.

You should go to work.

I have stuff to get back to. Go.

Simala, is your mother coming?

Your friends are waiting for you.

Yes, she is coming.

It's already noon, but her mother hasn't arrived.

Here she comes.

Si, I'm here.

I'm sorry I'm late.

She's so late.

I know, right?

Oh my gosh. Look at how dull Simala's mother's face is.

It's so dull.

(Mother's Day 2012)

Si.

Si.

Si.

Mom, why are you dressed like that?

Didn't you see how well-dressed the other mothers were?

I came from work.

I rushed here because I didn't want to be late.

Also, I don't have a nice outfit like those women.

I'm sorry

for embarrassing you.

Is it because we are poor?

Dad says you never help him earn money.

He gives me everything I want.

But you've never given me anything.

Si...

Why did I have to be born poor?

I hate poor people. I hate you.

Si.

Si.

I'm done being poor.

What is going on?

Have you heard that Boonnate and I have been helping your father?

You have, haven't you?

Yes.

I want you to know

that nothing is free in this world.

It's true I made a deal with your father.

But I truly want you to marry a rich man

out of goodwill.

That's right.

I want you to have a better life.

Why? Because I love you.

I've seen you since you were small.

I want you to have a better life.

It hurts me to see you live in that old house.

All right?

Please don't be mad at me.

Everyone means you well.

We want you to have a better life.

Si, poor people like us don't have a choice.

I used to be poor.

I didn't have money for food.

But it was poverty that made me strive.

I had to find a way to survive.

Trust me.

You will keep facing situations like this for the rest of your life.

You can't avoid it

because it's the truth.

Being poor is scary.

I understand.

I didn't say

the plan was off the table.

Are you saying you believe me now?

It's wise to believe us.

Our plan will give you a better life.

You will be rich, and so will we!

It's as everyone says,

"Money beats everything."

"The money bills are..."

Stop it.

All right then. I will talk to Tassanai's mother

and Surasit's as soon as possible

so we can proceed with the plan.

Okay.

- Ruja. - What?

I found out that man's name. It's Warodom.

The man you were interested in?

That name doesn't sound familiar.

I have never heard it before.

Listen, Si.

I'll find out more about this man.

In the meantime, you should approach Surasit and Tassanai.

I see dust.

This is a serious problem.

Madame will punish us if she sees dust

on Young Master's clothes.

And shoes. Especially the shoes. Go check his shoes now.

Yes.

Mr. Surasit.

Are you here to clean my room?

Thank you.

That's right. Your mother asked us to prepare your clothes and shoes.

She strictly ordered you to wear this outfit to the dinner tonight.

Mother.

Yes.

Did you not prepare him the outfit I chose for him?

We did, Madame.

But...

Mother, I want to dress casually.

It's a casual dinner.

There's no need to look nice.

Get out, you two.

I need to talk to my son.

- Yes. - Yes.

Come here.

- Mother. - Sit.

You have to look your best today

because you haven't met this person before.

Therefore, this person will judge you based on your appearance.

Our family runs the largest and the best shoe factory

in the country.

Why do you think

people wear nice shoes?

So they can look at their feet?

Or so other people can look at them?

Therefore, we shouldn't give anyone

a misleading impression of our wealth.

Do you understand?

- But Mother, I just... - No.

I picked the best outfit

that represents our wealth

so you can meet

the most suitable woman I've chosen for you.

Go get changed now.

Yes, Mother.

Listen, Mother.

I get to choose the woman for my next date.

Who?

Who is she?

Is she rich? What is her parents' business?

Her name is Simala.

Simala? How old is she?

I think I know all the elite girls who would be suitable for you.

I haven't heard of this girl.

But I met her at Madame Ouan's party.

You know that not just anyone would be invited.

Simala's family produces and exports clothes.

Our family produces shoes, and hers produces clothes.

Shoes and clothes are a perfect match, Mother.

Simala is also Ruja's niece.

- She's Ruja's niece? - Yes.

All right.

I don't know who she is. We'll talk about her later.

Right now, you have to get changed.

Then we'll talk about her.

Okay, Mother.

Is that you, Ruja?

I have a question for you.

What a coincidence, Panpit.

I was going to introduce you to Si.

I see.

A mother who wants the best for her son like Panpit

doesn't trust anyone easily.

How exactly did you persuade Panpit?

I let her know her son had a competitor.

Panpit is interested in this Simala girl?

How strange.

She normally handpicks the best woman for her son.

Her son always gets the best option,

whether it's his school, university,

or the women he dates. They must be perfect.

The truth is

Pumriang doesn't care who her son dates.

She just doesn't like

how Panpit overly seeks the best things for her precious son.

I'm using this weakness to make the two of them fight for you.

You know, yesterday was Si's first social event,

but a lot of men showed interest in her,

even Tassanai.

Panpit is showing interest in Si

because Tassanai and her son have got their eyes on the same girl.

Those two might look like best friends,

but they always fight to be the best when no one's looking.

Her name is Simala, right?

Tassanai asked for her number twice at the party?

No woman has ever got Tassanai on the hook this much.

If Tassanai and Simala get married in the end,

it will kill Panpit

that my son stole her son's woman.

Should I set up an appointment between Surasit and Si then?

Please do.

In the end,

a smart and mighty woman like Panpit

is outwitted by me.

Si, listen.

Judging from their wealth alone,

both Surasit and Tassanai are suitable candidates.

However, I slightly lean toward Surasit

because Tassanai sounds like a player

according to Ruja's stories.

Don't think that far ahead yet.

Let Si date both men

and see which of them

offers her more money, gold, and benefits.

Look, Si.

I think we should put a pin in this Warodom guy.

In the end, you need a man who will rescue your family

from poverty.

We will continue with our plan.

I've already set up a date for you and Surasit.

Okay, Ruja.

Mother, this is Simala.

Your mother?

I forgot to tell you my mother's joining us.

She just arrived.

Hello, Mother.

Please sit down.

I didn't know you were joining us, or I would have arrived sooner.

Hello, Simala.

Please don't call me Mother.

Just call me Panpit.

Okay, Panpit.
