Transcript

00:00:00After I got married, I started a fancy restaurant using my parents' trust fund.

00:00:05My husband's brother, Jeffrey, kept bringing his friends here to eat.

00:00:08He came 18 times in a single month.

00:00:11Altogether, he racked up $100,000 in bills and never paid a dime.

00:00:16The restaurant was losing money.

00:00:18I finally couldn't take it anymore.

00:00:20I asked Jeffrey to pay his bill.

00:00:22Instead, Jeffrey slapped me, right in front of all my guests and staff.

00:00:27I only brought my crew here for my brother, Marcus.

00:00:30You should thank me.

00:00:31How dare you ask me for cash?

00:00:37My husband, Marcus, looked away, pretending he had seen nothing.

00:00:43I didn't argue.

00:00:44I didn't make a scene.

00:00:45I just turned around and walked away.

00:00:48Two days later was Jeffrey's birthday.

00:00:51He invited every single one of his friends and family and booked out my whole restaurant.

00:00:55Then he barked an order at me.

00:00:57I booked the whole place for my birthday today.

00:00:59Served the most expensive wine and the best food at every table.

00:01:02I looked down at the contract in my hand.

00:01:05I'd just signed the papers to sell the restaurant.

00:01:07I smiled faintly.

00:01:09Sure.

00:01:12Jeffrey's hand slapped across my face.

00:01:14The noisy restaurant went dead silent.

00:01:16Everyone stared at me.

00:01:18Only my husband, Marcus Ashfield, looked away.

00:01:21He pretended nothing was happening.

00:01:24I looked up.

00:01:25I glanced at angry Jeffrey, then at Marcus, who was pretending not to know what was happening.

00:01:30I didn't argue.

00:01:31I didn't make a scene.

00:01:32I just quietly walked out of the restaurant.

00:01:34You ungrateful piece of trash.

00:01:36How dare you ask me for money?

00:01:38Do it again and I'll make you regret it.

00:01:39I didn't look back.

00:01:41I walked outside.

00:01:42The cool night wind blew against my face.

00:01:44The stinging pain on my cheek grew even sharper.

00:01:47Yet deep down, I was calmer than I had ever been.

00:01:49I took a deep breath.

00:01:50I pulled out my phone and made a call.

00:01:52Hello?

00:01:53I want to sell my restaurant.

00:01:54I don't care about the price.

00:01:55I only have one condition.

00:01:57After I wrapped up the conversation on the phone, I didn't head back to the restaurant.

00:02:02Instead, I went straight home.

00:02:04Marcus, you really need to get Ella in line.

00:02:07She's part of the Ashford family now, yet she had the nerve to publicly hound her Jeffrey

00:02:11for money just over a simple meal.

00:02:13If the ladies at the club find out, we'll be humiliated.

00:02:16Exactly, Marcus.

00:02:17You can't let her get away with this.

00:02:19Look what happened today.

00:02:20I slapped her and she didn't even dare to utter a single word.

00:02:24But she paid for that restaurant with her own trust fund.

00:02:26It's hard for me to interfere too much.

00:02:27So what?

00:02:28She married you, so she belongs to the Ashford family.

00:02:31Her money is your money.

00:02:33What's wrong with your brothers using a little bit of it?

00:02:36Besides, Jeffrey said he brought his friends to help her business.

00:02:38If she doesn't even understand that, why is she running a restaurant?

00:02:42You must set her straight today.

00:02:43If she wants to stay in this house, she needs to behave.

00:02:45She can't keep embarrassing us like this.

00:02:48I know.

00:02:50The next second, I burst through the door.

00:02:53All three of them looked at me.

00:02:55Their eyes were full of annoyance.

00:02:57I ignored them.

00:02:58I walked straight into the bedroom.

00:03:00I opened the closet and started packing my clothes.

00:03:04What are you doing?

00:03:07I'm packing.

00:03:08I'm moving out.

00:03:10Ella, how much longer are you going to keep this up?

00:03:11My brother shouldn't have hit you.

00:03:13But you shouldn't have embarrassed him in public either.

00:03:15He's my brother.

00:03:16I can't fight him just for you.

00:03:17Why can't you be more mature?

00:03:19You need to stop being so petty.

00:03:20Don't worry.

00:03:21I won't do it again.

00:03:23I folded my last shirt and put it in the suitcase.

00:03:26I zipped it up.

00:03:27Then I walked out of the house without looking back.

00:03:31Let her go.

00:03:32If she wants to leave, she shouldn't come back.

00:03:35I don't believe she can survive without the Ashford family.

00:03:38Marcus, she's just throwing a tantrum to control you.

00:03:42Ignore her.

00:03:42In a few days, she'll definitely come back crying to apologize.

00:03:46With Victoria and Jeffrey mocking me,

00:03:48I carried my suitcase and walked out of the gate.

00:03:52I booked a room at a hotel near the restaurant.

00:03:55After settling in, my phone buzzed.

00:03:58It was a text message.

00:03:59I read it and smiled with satisfaction.

00:04:02For the next two days, I went to the restaurant as usual.

00:04:05I managed everything like nothing had happened.

00:04:06I just took some time to make a few phone calls

00:04:08and sign some documents.

00:04:09Jeffrey didn't show up during those two days.

00:04:11Marcus, who usually loved coming to the restaurant either,

00:04:14but he sent me a few texts.

00:04:15Ella, that's enough.

00:04:16Stop throwing a titrum.

00:04:16My mother is right.

00:04:17You're just spoiled.

00:04:18If you're really that stubborn, don't ever come back.

00:04:19I didn't reply to any of them.

00:04:21I just quietly went about my business.

00:04:23On the third day, I had just signed the last contract.

00:04:27Suddenly, Jeffrey walked in.

00:04:29He looked incredibly arrogant.

00:04:31Victoria and Marcus walked right next to him.

00:04:33Neither of them looked at me.

00:04:34A huge crowd of dozens of people followed behind them.

00:04:38Most of them were Ashford relatives and Jeffrey's friends.

00:04:41As soon as they walked in, they made themselves at home.

00:04:43They sat down wherever they wanted.

00:04:46Today's my birthday, and I'm taking over this entire restaurant.

00:04:49Serve the most expensive wine and the best food at every table!

00:04:53Bring out the lobster, oysters, caviar, wagyu beef, black truffles, and foy vog,

00:04:58and serve champagne.

00:04:59Don't try to cheap out on me.

00:05:01Are you sure you want all these wines and dishes for every table?

00:05:05Once the order is placed, it cannot be changed or canceled.

00:05:09Of course I'm sure!

00:05:10Just do what I told you!

00:05:11Why are you talking so much?

00:05:12Do you want me to slap you again?

00:05:15That's our Jeffrey!

00:05:17Fancy birthday dinner!

00:05:20His friends saw this and started flattering him.

00:05:22Jeffrey, isn't this too expensive?

00:05:24All this high-end food and wine must cost a foreign.

00:05:27Some of the Ashford relatives looked excited.

00:05:29Others looked worried.

00:05:31Jeffrey waved his hand dismissively.

00:05:33It doesn't matter.

00:05:34It's just a meal.

00:05:34Enjoy as much as you want.

00:05:35Everything is on me today.

00:05:37Yeah!

00:05:38What are you waiting for?

00:05:40Get the food out!

00:05:41Quit stalling or you'll regret it!

00:05:43I looked at his arrogant, ugly face.

00:05:45Then I looked down at the restaurant transfer contract I had just signed.

00:05:50Fine.

00:05:51After saying that, I walked to the entrance.

00:05:54I hung up a sign.

00:05:55It read, closed for private event.

00:05:58Jeffrey booked the whole place today.

00:06:00Serve everything he asked for.

00:06:01Bring out the lobster, oysters, caviar, wagyu beef, black truffles, and foy brong.

00:06:06Only serve the champagne.

00:06:07I spoke to the head table.

00:06:08Don't hold back.

00:06:09Boss, this is going to cost a fortune.

00:06:11Can Jeffrey actually afford it?

00:06:12This is what he asked for.

00:06:14Just do as he says.

00:06:15The head chef saw I was serious.

00:06:17He didn't ask any more questions.

00:06:18He immediately turned around to prepare the food.

00:06:21Soon, the kitchen got busy.

00:06:23Hands sizzled.

00:06:24The chefs shouted orders back and forth.

00:06:26A rich aroma filled the entire restaurant.

00:06:28Jeffrey's group sat in the dining room.

00:06:30They crossed their legs, ate nuts, and talked loudly.

00:06:33Every now and then, they shouted.

00:06:35Hurry up with the food!

00:06:36We're starving!

00:06:37Before long, the expensive dishes started coming out.

00:06:40There was butter-baked lobster, oysters with caviar, wagyu tartar, black truffle risote,

00:06:43and pansteed foie gray.

00:06:44Every dish was beautifully plated.

00:06:45They all looked incredibly expensive.

00:06:47The sommelier popped open bottle after bottle of champagne.

00:06:49He poured it for every table.

00:06:50Oh my god!

00:06:51Are we really getting all this amazing food and wine?

00:06:53Jeffrey, you are awesome!

00:06:54Take a picture for social media.

00:06:55Most people will never eat like this in their lives.

00:06:57Jeffrey is my hero from now on!

00:06:59The relatives joined in with the compliments, too.

00:07:03Oh my god.

00:07:04I've only seen black truffles, caviar, and champagne in magazines.

00:07:07I never thought I'd get to taste them in my life.

00:07:09I always heard we'd live the good life if we followed Jeffrey.

00:07:13I didn't expect it to be this good.

00:07:15Jeffrey is so successful.

00:07:16He's so young, yet so generous and capable.

00:07:19He's going to do great things.

00:07:20Everyone, eat and drink as much as you want.

00:07:23Order more if it's not enough.

00:07:24Everything is on me today.

00:07:25Don't hold back!

00:07:26The crowd cheered again.

00:07:27Everyone raised their glasses to toast him.

00:07:30Let's drink to Jeffrey!

00:07:31Happy birthday!

00:07:32May you get richer and more powerful every year!

00:07:35Jeffrey felt incredibly satisfied.

00:07:37He loved the toasts and the flattery.

00:07:40If you ever want to eat out in the future, just come to this restaurant.

00:07:43Just give him my name, Jeffrey Ashford.

00:07:44Put everything on my tab.

00:07:45You won't have to pay a single cent.

00:07:46Jeffrey is so generous!

00:07:48We're following Jeffrey from now on!

00:07:50Ella, don't you love money?

00:07:52Aren't you obsessed with those petty bills?

00:07:54Today I'm going to eat your restaurant dry.

00:07:55I'll show you what happens when you cross me.

00:07:57If this had happened before,

00:07:58Jeffrey's words would have given me a headache.

00:08:00But now, I just found it funny.

00:08:02Whatever you say.

00:08:04Jeffrey frowned.

00:08:04He looked annoyed that I wasn't getting angry.

00:08:07Then he glanced at the running bill on the counter.

00:08:09A sly look came over his face.

00:08:11This meal only cost $200,000 so far?

00:08:13No wonder you're so calm.

00:08:14I guess I haven't spent enough yet.

00:08:15Bring me the menu.

00:08:16I want to order more.

00:08:18Add white truffles for everyone

00:08:20and bring out all the premium caviar you have.

00:08:22Also, three pounds of bluefin tuna belly sashimi for every table.

00:08:25How about now?

00:08:26Does your heart hurt yet?

00:08:28Not at all.

00:08:30Then add a king crab to every table.

00:08:32Also, pack a lobster, a Wagyu steak, and a bottle of champagne for everyone to take home.

00:08:37You can have it for afternoon tea.

00:08:38Wow!

00:08:39Jeffrey is so generous.

00:08:40We get to eat our fill and take food home.

00:08:42Is this what real wealth looks like?

00:08:44Jeffrey, that's enough.

00:08:45If you keep ordering, you'll empty out the restaurant's entire inventory.

00:08:48That's exactly what I want.

00:08:50I want to empty out all the expensive stuff.

00:08:52That's the only way someone will learn their lesson.

00:08:54After I got married, I started a fancy restaurant using my parents' trust fund.

00:08:59My husband's brother, Jeffrey, kept bringing his friends here to eat.

00:09:03He came 18 times in a single month.

00:09:06Altogether, he racked up $100,000 in bills and never paid a dime.

00:09:11The restaurant was losing money.

00:09:13I finally couldn't take it anymore.

00:09:14I asked Jeffrey to pay his bill.

00:09:17Instead, Jeffrey slapped me, right in front of all my guests and staff.

00:09:22I only brought my crew here for my brother, Marcus.

00:09:25You should thank me.

00:09:26How dare you ask me for cash?

00:09:32My husband, Marcus, looked away, pretending he had seen nothing.

00:09:37I didn't argue.

00:09:39I didn't make a scene.

00:09:40I just turned around and walked away.

00:09:43Two days later was Jeffrey's birthday.

00:09:45He invited every single one of his friends and family and booked out my whole restaurant.

00:09:50Then he barked an order at me.

00:09:52I booked the whole place for my birthday today.

00:09:54Served the most expensive wine and the best food at every table.

00:09:57I looked down at the contract in my hand.

00:09:59I'd just signed the papers to sell the restaurant.

00:10:02I smiled faintly.

00:10:03Sure.

00:10:06Jeffrey's hand slapped across my face.

00:10:09The noisy restaurant went dead silent.

00:10:11Everyone stared at me.

00:10:13Only my husband, Marcus Ashfield, looked away.

00:10:16He pretended nothing was happening.

00:10:18I looked up.

00:10:20I glanced at angry Jeffrey, then at Marcus, who was pretending not to know what was happening.

00:10:24I didn't argue.

00:10:25I didn't make a scene.

00:10:26I just quietly walked out of the restaurant.

00:10:29You ungrateful piece of trash.

00:10:31How dare you ask me for money?

00:10:34I didn't look back.

00:10:37The cool night wind blew against my face.

00:10:39The stinging pain on my cheek grew even sharper.

00:10:42Yet deep down, I was calmer than I had ever been.

00:10:44I took a deep breath.

00:10:45I pulled out my phone and made a call.

00:10:47Hello?

00:10:47I want to sell my restaurant.

00:11:11Exactly, Marcus.

00:11:12You can't let her get away with this.

00:11:14Look what happened today.

00:11:15I slapped her and she didn't even dare to utter a single word.

00:11:18But she paid for that restaurant with her own trust fund.

00:11:20It's hard for me to interfere too much.

00:11:22So what?

00:11:23She married you, so she belongs to the Ashford family.

00:11:26Her money is your money.

00:11:27What's wrong with your brothers using a little bit of it?

00:11:30Besides, Jeffrey said he brought his friends to help her business.

00:11:33If she doesn't even understand that, why is she running a restaurant?

00:11:36You must set her straight today.

00:11:38If she wants to stay in this house, she needs to behave.

00:11:40She can't keep embarrassing us like this.

00:11:55I opened the closet and started packing my clothes.

00:11:58What are you doing?

00:12:02I'm packing.

00:12:03I'm moving out.

00:12:04Ella, how much longer are you going to keep this up?

00:12:06My brother shouldn't have hit you.

00:12:08But you shouldn't have embarrassed him in public either.

00:12:10He's my brother.

00:12:11I can't fight him just for you.

00:12:12Why can't you be more mature?

00:12:14You need to stop being so petty.

00:12:15Don't worry.

00:12:16I won't do it again.

00:12:18I folded my last shirt and put it in the suitcase.

00:12:21I zipped it up.

00:12:22Then I walked out of the house without looking back.

00:12:26Let her go.

00:12:27If she wants to leave, she shouldn't come back.

00:12:29I don't believe she can survive without the Ashford family.

00:12:33Marcus, she's just throwing a tantrum to control you.

00:12:36Ignore her.

00:12:37In a few days, she'll definitely come back crying to apologize.

00:12:41With Victoria and Jeffrey mocking me, I carried my suitcase and walked out of the gate.

00:12:46I booked a room at a hotel near the restaurant.

00:13:04Jeffrey didn't show up during those two days.

00:13:06Marcus, who usually loved coming to the restaurant either, but he sent me a few texts.

00:13:09Ella, that's enough.

00:13:10Stop throwing a titrum.

00:13:11My mother is right.

00:13:12You're just spoiled.

00:13:13If you're really that stubborn, don't ever come back.

00:13:14I didn't reply to any of them.

00:13:16I just quietly went about my business.

00:13:18On the third day, I had just signed the last contract.

00:13:21Suddenly, Jeffrey walked in.

00:13:24He looked incredibly arrogant.

00:13:26Victoria and Marcus walked right next to him.

00:13:28Neither of them looked at me.

00:13:29A huge crowd of dozens of people followed behind them.

00:13:32Most of them were Ashford relatives and Jeffrey's friends.

00:13:35As soon as they walked in, they made themselves at home.

00:13:38They sat down wherever they wanted.

00:13:40Today's my birthday and I'm taking over this entire restaurant.

00:13:44Serve the most expensive wine and the best food at every table.

00:13:48Bring out the lobster, oysters, caviar, wagyu beef, black truffles, and foy vog.

00:13:53And serve champagne.

00:13:54Don't try to cheap out on me.

00:13:56Are you sure you want all these wines and dishes for every table?

00:13:59Once the order is placed, it cannot be changed or canceled.

00:14:03Of course I'm sure!

00:14:05Just do what I told you!

00:14:06Why are you talking so much?

00:14:07Do you want me to slap you again?

00:14:10That's our Jeffrey!

00:14:12Fancy birthday dinner!

00:14:14His friends saw this and started flattering him.

00:14:17Jeffrey, isn't this too expensive?

00:14:19All this high-end food and wine must cost a foreign.

00:14:22Some of the Ashford relatives looked excited.

00:14:24Others looked worried.

00:14:25Jeffrey waved his hand dismissively.

00:14:27It doesn't matter.

00:14:28It's just a meal.

00:14:29Enjoy as much as you want.

00:14:30Everything is on me today.

00:14:31Yeah!

00:14:33What are you waiting for?

00:14:34Get the food out!

00:14:35Quit stalling or you'll regret it!

00:14:37I looked at his arrogant, ugly face.

00:14:40Then I looked down at the restaurant transfer contract I had just signed.

00:14:45Fine.

00:14:46After saying that, I walked to the entrance.

00:14:48I hung up a sign.

00:14:50It read,

00:14:51Closed for private event.

00:14:53Jeffrey booked the whole place today.

00:14:55Serve everything he asked for.

00:14:56Bring out the lobster, oysters, caviar, wagyu beef, black truffles, and foie brong.

00:15:00Only serve the champagne.

00:15:02I spoke to the head table.

00:15:03Don't hold back.

00:15:04Boss, this is going to cost a fortune.

00:15:06Can Jeffrey actually afford it?

00:15:07This is what he asked for.

00:15:08Just do as he says.

00:15:10The head chef saw I was serious.

00:15:11He didn't ask any more questions.

00:15:13He immediately turned around to prepare the food.

00:15:16Soon, the kitchen got busy.

00:15:18Hands sizzle.

00:15:19The chefs shouted orders back and forth.

00:15:20A rich aroma filled the entire restaurant.

00:15:23Jeffrey's group sat in the dining room.

00:15:24They crossed their legs, ate nuts, and talked loudly.

00:15:28Every now and then, they shouted,

00:15:30Hurry up with the food.

00:15:31We're starving.

00:15:32Before long, the expensive dishes started coming out.

00:15:34There was butter-baked lobster, oysters with caviar, wagyu tartar, black truffle risote, and pansteed foie gray.

00:15:39Every dish was beautifully plated.

00:15:40They all looked incredibly expensive.

00:15:41The sommelier popped open bottle after bottle of champagne.

00:15:44He poured it for every table.

00:15:45Oh my God.

00:15:46Are we really getting all this amazing food and wine?

00:15:48Jeffrey, you are awesome.

00:15:49Take a picture for social media.

00:15:50Most people will never eat like this in their lives.

00:15:52Jeffrey is my hero from now on.

00:15:53The relatives joined in with the compliments, too.

00:15:57Oh my God.

00:15:58I've only seen black truffles, caviar, and champagne in magazines.

00:16:02I never thought I'd get to taste them in my life.

00:16:04I always heard we'd live the good life if we followed Jeffrey.

00:16:07I didn't expect it to be this good.

00:16:10Jeffrey is so successful.

00:16:11He's so young, yet so generous and capable.

00:16:14He's going to do great things.

00:16:15Everyone, eat and drink as much as you want.

00:16:17Order more if it's not enough.

00:16:19Everything is on me today.

00:16:20Don't hold back.

00:16:21The crowd cheered again.

00:16:22Everyone raised their glasses to toast him.

00:16:24Let's drink to Jeffrey.

00:16:26Happy birthday.

00:16:27May you get richer and more powerful every year.

00:16:30Jeffrey felt incredibly satisfied.

00:16:32He loved the toasts and the flattery.

00:16:35If you ever want to eat out in the future, just come to this restaurant.

00:16:37Just give him my name, Jeffrey Ashford.

00:16:39Put everything on my tab.

00:16:40You won't have to pay a single cent.

00:16:41Jeffrey is so generous.

00:16:43We're following Jeffrey from now on.

00:16:44Thank you.

00:16:45Ella, don't you love money?

00:16:47Aren't you obsessed with those petty bills?

00:16:48Today, I'm going to eat your restaurant dry.

00:16:50I'll show you what happens when you cross me.

00:16:52If this had happened before, Jeffrey's words would have given me a headache.

00:16:55But now, I just found it funny.

00:16:57Whatever you say.

00:16:58Jeffrey frowned.

00:16:59He looked annoyed that I wasn't getting angry.

00:17:02Then he glanced at the running bill on the counter.

00:17:04A sly look came over his face.

00:17:06This meal only cost $200,000 so far?

00:17:08No wonder you're so calm.

00:17:09I guess I haven't spent enough yet.

00:17:10Bring me the menu.

00:17:11I want to order more.

00:17:13Add white truffles for everyone and bring out all the premium caviar you have.

00:17:16Also, three pounds of bluefin tuna belly sashimi for every table.

00:17:20How about now?

00:17:21Does your heart hurt yet?

00:17:23Not at all.

00:17:24Then add a king crab to every table.

00:17:27Also, pack a lobster, a wagyu steak, and a bottle of champagne for everyone to take home.

00:17:32You can have it for afternoon tea.

00:17:33Wow!

00:17:34Jeffrey is so generous.

00:17:35We get to eat our fill and take food home.

00:17:37Is this what real wealth looks like?

00:17:39Jeffrey, that's enough.

00:17:40If you keep ordering, you'll empty out the restaurant's entire inventory.

00:17:43That's exactly what I want.

00:17:45I want to empty out all the expensive stuff.

00:17:47That's the only way someone will learn their lesson.

00:17:49After I got married, I started a fancy restaurant using my parents' trust fund.

00:17:54My husband's brother, Jeffrey, kept bringing his friends here to eat.

00:17:58He came 18 times in a single month.

00:18:00Altogether, he racked up $100,000 in bills and never paid a dime.

00:18:05The restaurant was losing money.

00:18:07I finally couldn't take it anymore.

00:18:09I asked Jeffrey to pay his bill.

00:18:12Instead, Jeffrey slapped me, right in front of all my guests and staff.

00:18:17I only brought my crew here for my brother, Marcus.

00:18:19You should thank me.

00:18:20How dare you ask me for cash?

00:18:27My husband, Marcus, looked away, pretending he had seen nothing.

00:18:32I didn't argue.

00:18:33I didn't make a scene.

00:18:35I just turned around and walked away.

00:18:38Two days later was Jeffrey's birthday.

00:18:40He invited every single one of his friends and family and booked out my whole restaurant.

00:18:44Then he barked an order at me.

00:18:47I booked the whole place for my birthday today.

00:18:49Served the most expensive wine and the best food at every table.

00:18:52I looked down at the contract in my hand.

00:18:54I'd just signed the papers to sell the restaurant.

00:18:57I smiled faintly.

00:18:58Sure.

00:19:01Jeffrey's hand slapped across my face.

00:19:03The noisy restaurant went dead silent.

00:19:06Everyone stared at me.

00:19:07Only my husband, Marcus Ashfield, looked away.

00:19:10He pretended nothing was happening.

00:19:13I looked up.

00:19:14I glanced at angry Jeffrey, then at Marcus, who was pretending not to know what was happening.

00:19:19I didn't argue.

00:19:20I didn't make a scene.

00:19:21I just quietly walked out of the restaurant.

00:19:24You ungrateful piece of trash.

00:19:25How dare you ask me for money?

00:19:27Do it again and I'll make you regret it.

00:19:29I didn't look back.

00:19:31I walked outside.

00:19:32The cool night wind blew against my face.

00:19:34The stinging pain on my cheek grew even sharper.

00:19:36Yet deep down, I was calmer than I had ever been.

00:19:39I took a deep breath.

00:19:40I pulled out my phone and made a call.

00:19:42Hello?

00:19:42I want to sell my restaurant.

00:19:43I don't care about the price.

00:19:45I only have one condition.

00:19:47After I wrapped up the conversation on the phone, I didn't head back to the restaurant.

00:19:51Instead, I went straight home.

00:19:54Marcus, you really need to get Ella in line.

00:19:56She's part of the Ashford family now, yet she had the nerve to publicly hound her Jeffrey

00:20:00for money just over a simple meal.

00:20:03If the ladies at the club find out, we'll be humiliated.

00:20:05Exactly, Marcus.

00:20:07You can't let her get away with this.

00:20:09Look what happened today.

00:20:10I slapped her and she didn't even dare to utter a single word.

00:20:13But she paid for that restaurant with her own trust fund.

00:20:15It's hard for me to interfere too much.

00:20:17So what?

00:20:18She married you, so she belongs to the Ashford family.

00:20:21Her money is your money.

00:20:22What's wrong with your brothers using a little bit of it?

00:20:25Besides, Jeffrey said he brought his friends to help her business.

00:20:28If she doesn't even understand that, why is she running a restaurant?

00:20:31You must set her straight today.

00:20:33If she wants to stay in this house, she needs to behave.

00:20:35She can't keep embarrassing us like this.

00:20:38I know.

00:20:40The next second, I burst through the door.

00:20:43All three of them looked at me.

00:20:44Their eyes were full of annoyance.

00:20:46I ignored them.

00:20:47I walked straight into the bedroom.

00:20:50I opened the closet and started packing my clothes.

00:20:53What are you doing?

00:20:56I'm packing.

00:20:58I'm moving out.

00:20:59Ella, how much longer are you going to keep this up?

00:21:01My brother shouldn't have hit you.

00:21:02But you shouldn't have embarrassed him in public either.

00:21:04He's my brother.

00:21:05I can't fight him just for you.

00:21:07Why can't you be more mature?

00:21:08You need to stop being so petty.

00:21:10Don't worry.

00:21:11I won't do it again.

00:21:13I folded my last shirt and put it in the suitcase.

00:21:16I zipped it up.

00:21:17Then I walked out of the house without looking back.

00:21:21Let her go.

00:21:22If she wants to leave, she shouldn't come back.

00:21:24I don't believe she can survive without the Ashford family.

00:21:28Marcus, she's just throwing a tantrum to control you.

00:21:31Ignore her.

00:21:32In a few days, she'll definitely come back crying to apologize.

00:21:36With Victoria and Jeffrey mocking me, I carried my suitcase and walked out of the gate.

00:21:41I booked a room at a hotel near the restaurant.

00:21:44After settling in, my phone buzzed.

00:21:47It was a text message.

00:21:49I read it and smiled with satisfaction.

00:21:51For the next two days, I went to the restaurant as usual.

00:21:54I managed everything like nothing had happened.

00:21:56I just took some time to make a few phone calls and sign some documents.

00:21:59Jeffrey didn't show up during those two days.

00:22:01Marcus, who usually loved coming to the restaurant either, but he sent me a few texts.

00:22:04Ella, that's enough.

00:22:05Stop throwing a titrum.

00:22:06My mother is right.

00:22:07You're just spoiled.

00:22:07If you're really that stubborn, don't ever come back.

00:22:09I didn't reply to any of them.

00:22:10I just quietly went about my business.

00:22:13On the third day, I had just signed the last contract.

00:22:16Suddenly, Jeffrey walked in.

00:22:18He looked incredibly arrogant.

00:22:20Victoria and Marcus walked right next to him.

00:22:23Neither of them looked at me.

00:22:24A huge crowd of dozens of people followed behind them.

00:22:27Most of them were Ashford relatives and Jeffrey's friends.

00:22:30As soon as they walked in, they made themselves at home.

00:22:33They sat down wherever they wanted.

00:22:35Today's my birthday, and I'm taking over this entire restaurant.

00:22:39Serve the most expensive wine and the best food at every table!

00:22:43Bring out the lobster, oysters, caviar, wagyu beef, black truffles, and foy vog, and serve champagne.

00:22:49Don't try to cheap out on me.

00:22:51Are you sure you want all these wines and dishes for every table?

00:22:54Once the order is placed, it cannot be changed or canceled.

00:22:58Of course I'm sure!

00:23:00Just do what I told you!

00:23:01Why are you talking so much?

00:23:02Do you want me to slap you again?

00:23:05That's our Jeffrey!

00:23:06Fancy birthday dinner!

00:23:09His friends saw this and started flattering him.

00:23:12Jeffrey, isn't this too expensive?

00:23:14All this high-end food and wine must cost a foreign.

00:23:16Some of the Ashford relatives looked excited.

00:23:19Others looked worried.

00:23:20Jeffrey waved his hand dismissively.

00:23:22It doesn't matter.

00:23:23It's just a meal.

00:23:24Enjoy as much as you want.

00:23:25Everything is on me today.

00:23:26Yeah!

00:23:28What are you waiting for?

00:23:29Get the food out!

00:23:30Quit stalling or you'll regret it!

00:23:32I looked at his arrogant, ugly face.

00:23:35Then I looked down at the restaurant transfer contract I had just signed.

00:23:40Fine.

00:23:41After saying that, I walked to the entrance.

00:23:43I hung up a sign.

00:23:44It read,

00:23:45Closed for private event.

00:23:47Jeffrey booked the whole place today.

00:23:49Serve everything he asked for.

00:23:51Bring out the lobster, oysters, caviar, wagyu beef, black truffles, and foybrong.

00:23:55Only serve the champagne.

00:23:57I spoke to the head table.

00:23:58Don't hold back.

00:23:59Boss, this is going to cost a fortune.

00:24:00Can Jeffrey actually afford it?

00:24:02This is what he asked for.

00:24:03Just do as he says.

00:24:04The head chef saw I was serious.

00:24:06He didn't ask any more questions.

00:24:08He immediately turned around to prepare the food.

00:24:11Soon, the kitchen got busy.

00:24:12Hands sizzle.

00:24:13The chefs shouted orders back and forth.

00:24:15A rich aroma filled the entire restaurant.

00:24:17Jeffrey's group sat in the dining room.

00:24:19They crossed their legs, ate nuts, and talked loudly.

00:24:22Every now and then, they shouted,

00:24:24Hurry up with the food!

00:24:26We're starving!

00:24:27Before long, the expensive dishes started coming out.

00:24:29There was butter-baked lobster, oysters with caviar, wagyu tartar,

00:24:32black truffle risot, and pansteed foie gray.

00:24:33Every dish was beautifully plated.

00:24:35They all looked incredibly expensive.

00:24:36The sommelier popped open bottle after bottle of champagne.

00:24:39He poured it for every table.

00:24:40Oh my God!

00:24:41Are we really getting all this amazing food and wine?

00:24:42Jeffrey, you are awesome!

00:24:43Take a picture for social media.

00:24:44Most people will never eat like this in their lives.

00:24:46Jeffrey is my hero from now on!

00:24:48The relatives joined in with the compliments, too.

00:24:52Oh my God!

00:24:53I've only seen black truffles, caviar, and champagne in magazines.

00:24:57I never thought I'd get to taste them in my life.

00:24:59I always heard we'd live the good life if we followed Jeffrey.

00:25:02I didn't expect it to be this good.

00:25:04Jeffrey is so successful.

00:25:06He's so young, yet so generous and capable.

00:25:08He's going to do great things.

00:25:10Everyone, eat and drink as much as you want.

00:25:12Order more if it's not enough.

00:25:13Everything is on me today.

00:25:15Don't hold back!

00:25:15The crowd cheered again.

00:25:17Everyone raised their glasses to toast him.

00:25:19Let's drink to Jeffrey!

00:25:21Happy birthday!

00:25:22May you get richer and more powerful every year!

00:25:25Jeffrey felt incredibly satisfied.

00:25:27He loved the toasts and the flattery.

00:25:29If you ever want to eat out in the future, just come to this restaurant.

00:25:32Just give him my name, Jeffrey Ashford.

00:25:34Put everything on my tab.

00:25:35You won't have to pay a single cent.

00:25:36Jeffrey is so generous.

00:25:37We're following Jeffrey from now on.

00:25:39Ella, don't you love money?

00:25:41Aren't you obsessed with those petty bills?

00:25:43Today, I'm going to eat your restaurant dry.

00:25:45I'll show you what happens when you cross me.

00:25:47If this had happened before, Jeffrey's words would have given me a headache.

00:25:50But now, I just found it funny.

00:25:52Whatever you say.

00:25:53Jeffrey frowned.

00:25:54He looked annoyed that I wasn't getting angry.

00:25:56Then he glanced at the running bill on the counter.

00:25:59A sly look came over his face.

00:26:00This meal only cost $200,000 so far?

00:26:03No wonder you're so calm.

00:26:04I guess I haven't spent enough yet.

00:26:05Bring me the menu.

00:26:05I want to order more.

00:26:08Add white truffles for everyone and bring out all the premium caviar you have.

00:26:11Also, three pounds of bluefin tuna belly sashimi for every table.

00:26:15How about now?

00:26:16Does your heart hurt yet?

00:26:17Not at all.

00:26:19Then add a king crab to every table.

00:26:22Also, pack a lobster, a wagyu steak, and a bottle of champagne for everyone to take home.

00:26:26You can have it for afternoon tea.

00:26:28Wow!

00:26:28Jeffrey is so generous.

00:26:30We get to eat our fill and take food home.

00:26:32Is this what real wealth looks like?

00:26:34Jeffrey, that's enough.

00:26:35If you keep ordering, you'll empty out the restaurant's entire inventory.

00:26:38That's exactly what I want.

00:26:40I want to empty out all the expensive stuff.

00:26:42That's the only way someone will learn their lesson.

00:26:44After I got married, I started a fancy restaurant using my parents' trust fund.

00:26:49My husband's brother, Jeffrey, kept bringing his friends here to eat.

00:26:52He came 18 times in a single month.

00:26:55Altogether, he racked up $100,000 in bills and never paid a dime.

00:27:00The restaurant was losing money.

00:27:02I finally couldn't take it anymore.

00:27:04I asked Jeffrey to pay his bill.

00:27:07Instead, Jeffrey slapped me, right in front of all my guests and staff.

00:27:12I only brought my crew here for my brother, Marcus.

00:27:14You should thank me.

00:27:15How dare you ask me for cash?

00:27:22My husband, Marcus, looked away, pretending he had seen nothing.

00:27:27I didn't argue.

00:27:28I didn't make a scene.

00:27:29I just turned around and walked away.

00:27:32Two days later was Jeffrey's birthday.

00:27:34He invited every single one of his friends and family and booked out my whole restaurant.

00:27:39Then he barked an order at me.

00:27:41I booked the whole place for my birthday today.

00:27:44Served the most expensive wine and the best food at every table.

00:27:47I looked down at the contract in my hand.

00:27:49I'd just signed the papers to sell the restaurant.

00:27:51I smiled faintly.

00:27:53Sure.

00:27:56Jeffrey's hand slapped across my face.

00:27:58The noisy restaurant went dead silent.

00:28:00Everyone stared at me.

00:28:02Only my husband, Marcus Ashfield, looked away.

00:28:05He pretended nothing was happening.

00:28:08I looked up.

00:28:09I glanced at angry Jeffrey, then at Marcus, who was pretending not to know what was happening.

00:28:13I didn't argue.

00:28:15I didn't make a scene.

00:28:16I just quietly walked out of the restaurant.

00:28:18You ungrateful piece of trash.

00:28:20How dare you ask me for money?

00:28:22Do it again and I'll make you regret it.

00:28:24I didn't look back.

00:28:25I walked outside.

00:28:27The cool night wind blew against my face.

00:28:29The stinging pain on my cheek grew even sharper.

00:28:31Yet deep down, I was calmer than I had ever been.

00:28:34I took a deep breath.

00:28:35I pulled out my phone and made a call.

00:28:36Hello?

00:28:37I want to sell my restaurant.

00:28:38I don't care about the price.

00:28:39I only have one condition.

00:28:41After I wrapped up the conversation on the phone, I didn't head back to the restaurant.

00:28:46Instead, I went straight home.

00:28:49Marcus, you really need to get Ella in line.

00:28:51She's part of the Ashford family now, yet she had the nerve to publicly hound her Jeffrey

00:28:55for money just over a simple meal.

00:28:57If the ladies at the club find out, we'll be humiliated.

00:29:00Exactly, Marcus.

00:29:01You can't let her get away with this.

00:29:03Look what happened today.

00:29:04I slapped her and she didn't even dare to utter a single word.

00:29:08But she paid for that restaurant with her own trust fund.

00:29:10It's hard for me to interfere too much.

00:29:12So what?

00:29:13She married you, so she belongs to the Ashford family.

00:29:15Her money is your money.

00:29:17What's wrong with your brothers using a little bit of it?

00:29:20Besides, Jeffrey said he brought his friends to help her business.

00:29:23If she doesn't even understand that, why is she running a restaurant?

00:29:26You must set her straight today.

00:29:27If she wants to stay in this house, she needs to behave.

00:29:30She can't keep embarrassing us like this.

00:29:33I know.

00:29:35The next second, I burst through the door.

00:29:37All three of them looked at me.

00:29:39Their eyes were full of annoyance.

00:29:41I ignored them.

00:29:42I walked straight into the bedroom.

00:29:45I opened the closet and started packing my clothes.

00:29:48What are you doing?

00:29:51I'm packing.

00:29:53I'm moving out.

00:29:54Ella, how much longer are you going to keep this up?

00:29:56My brother shouldn't have hit you.

00:29:57But you shouldn't have embarrassed him in public either.

00:29:59He's my brother.

00:30:00I can't fight him just for you.

00:30:02Why can't you be more mature?

00:30:03You need to stop being so petty.

00:30:05Don't worry.

00:30:06I won't do it again.

00:30:07I folded my last shirt and put it in the suitcase.

00:30:10I zipped it up.

00:30:11Then I walked out of the house without looking back.

00:30:15Let her go.

00:30:17If she wants to leave, she shouldn't come back.

00:30:19I don't believe she can survive without the Ashford family.

00:30:22Marcus, she's just throwing a tantrum to control you.

00:30:26Ignore her.

00:30:27In a few days, she'll definitely come back crying to apologize.

00:30:30With Victoria and Jeffrey mocking me,

00:30:33I carried my suitcase and walked out of the gate.

00:30:36I booked a room at a hotel near the restaurant.

00:30:39After settling in, my phone buzzed.

00:30:42It was a text message.

00:30:44I read it and smiled with satisfaction.

00:30:46For the next two days, I went to the restaurant as usual.

00:30:49I managed everything like nothing had happened.

00:30:51I just took some time to make a few phone calls and sign some documents.

00:30:54Jeffrey didn't show up during those two days.

00:30:56Marcus, who usually loved coming to the restaurant either,

00:30:58but he sent me a few texts.

00:30:59Ella, that's enough.

00:31:00Stop throwing a titrum.

00:31:01My mother is right.

00:31:01You're just spoiled.

00:31:02If you're really that stubborn, don't ever come back.

00:31:04I didn't reply to any of them.

00:31:05I just quietly went about my business.

00:31:07On the third day, I had just signed the last contract.

00:31:11Suddenly, Jeffrey walked in.

00:31:13He looked incredibly arrogant.

00:31:15Victoria and Marcus walked right next to him.

00:31:17Neither of them looked at me.

00:31:19A huge crowd of dozens of people followed behind them.

00:31:22Most of them were Ashford relatives and Jeffrey's friends.

00:31:25As soon as they walked in, they made themselves at home.

00:31:28They sat down wherever they wanted.

00:31:30Today's my birthday, and I'm taking over this entire restaurant.

00:31:33Serve the most expensive wine and the best food at every table!

00:31:37Bring out the lobster, oysters, caviar, wagyu beef, black truffles, and foy vog,

00:31:42and serve champagne.

00:31:43Don't try to cheap out on me.

00:31:45Are you sure you want all these wines and dishes for every table?

00:31:49Once the order is placed, it cannot be changed or canceled.

00:31:53Of course I'm sure!

00:31:54Just do what I told you!

00:31:55Why are you talking so much?

00:31:57Do you want me to slap you again?

00:31:59That's our Jeffrey!

00:32:01Fancy birthday dinner!

00:32:04His friends saw this and started flattering him.

00:32:07Jeffrey, isn't this too expensive?

00:32:09All this high-end food and wine must cost a foreign.

00:32:11Some of the Ashford relatives looked excited.

00:32:13Others looked worried.

00:32:15Jeffrey waved his hand dismissively.

00:32:17It doesn't matter.

00:32:18It's just a meal.

00:32:19Enjoy as much as you want.

00:32:19Everything is on me today.

00:32:21Yeah!

00:32:23What are you waiting for?

00:32:24Get the food out!

00:32:25Quit stalling or you'll regret it!

00:32:27I looked at his arrogant, ugly face.

00:32:29Then I looked down at the restaurant transfer contract I had just signed.

00:32:35Fine.

00:32:35After saying that, I walked to the entrance.

00:32:38I hung up a sign.

00:32:39It read,

00:32:40Closed for private event.

00:32:42Jeffrey booked the whole place today.

00:32:44Serve everything he asked for.

00:32:46Bring out the lobster, oysters, caviar, wagyu beef, black truffles, and foy brong.

00:32:50Only serve the champagne.

00:32:51I spoke to the head table.

00:32:53Don't hold back.

00:32:53Boss, this is going to cost a fortune.

00:32:55Can Jeffrey actually afford it?

00:32:57This is what he asked for.

00:32:58Just do as he says.

00:32:59The head chef saw I was serious.

00:33:01He didn't ask any more questions.

00:33:03He immediately turned around to prepare the food.

00:33:05Soon, the kitchen got busy.

00:33:07Hands sizzled.

00:33:08The chefs shouted orders back and forth.

00:33:10A rich aroma filled the entire restaurant.

00:33:12Jeffrey's group sat in the dining room.

00:33:14They crossed their legs, ate nuts, and talked loudly.

00:33:17Every now and then, they shouted.

00:33:19Hurry up with the food!

00:33:20We're starving!

00:33:21Before long, the expensive dishes started coming out.

00:33:24There was butter-baked lobster, oysters with caviar, wagyu tartar,

00:33:27black truffle risotto, and pan-steed foy gré.

00:33:28Every dish was beautifully plated.

00:33:29They all looked incredibly expensive.

00:33:31The sommelier popped open bottle after bottle of champagne.

00:33:33He poured it for every table.

00:33:35Oh my God!

00:33:35Are we really getting all this amazing food and wine?

00:33:37Jeffrey, you are awesome!

00:33:38Take a picture for social media.

00:33:39Most people will never eat like this in their lives.

00:33:41Jeffrey is my hero from now on!

00:33:43The relatives joined in with the compliments, too.

00:33:47Oh my God!

00:33:48I've only seen black truffles, caviar, and champagne in magazines.

00:33:51I never thought I'd get to taste them in my life.

00:33:54I always heard we'd live the good life if we followed Jeffrey.

00:33:57I didn't expect it to be this good.

00:33:59Jeffrey is so successful.

00:34:00He's so young, yet so generous and capable.

00:34:03He's going to do great things.

00:34:05Everyone, eat and drink as much as you want.

00:34:07Order more if it's not enough.

00:34:08Everything is on me today.

00:34:09Don't hold back!

00:34:10The crowd cheered again.

00:34:12Everyone raised their glasses to toast him.

00:34:14Let's drink to Jeffrey!

00:34:15Happy birthday!

00:34:17May you get richer and more powerful every year!

00:34:19Jeffrey felt incredibly satisfied.

00:34:21He loved the toasts and the flattery.

00:34:24If you ever want to eat out in the future, just come to this restaurant.

00:34:27Just give him my name, Jeffrey Ashford.

00:34:28Put everything on my tab.

00:34:29You won't have to pay a single cent.

00:34:31Jeffrey is so generous.

00:34:32We're following Jeffrey from now on.

00:34:34Ella, don't you love money?

00:34:36Aren't you obsessed with those petty bills?

00:34:37Today, I'm going to eat your restaurant dry.

00:34:40I'll show you what happens when you cross me.

00:34:41If this had happened before, Jeffrey's words would have given me a headache.

00:34:45But now, I just found it funny.

00:34:47Whatever you say.

00:34:48Jeffrey frowned.

00:34:49He looked annoyed that I wasn't getting angry.

00:34:51Then he glanced at the running bill on the counter.

00:34:53A sly look came over his face.

00:34:55This meal only cost $200,000 so far?

00:34:57No wonder you're so calm.

00:34:58I guess I haven't spent enough yet.

00:34:59Bring me the menu.

00:35:00I want to order more.

00:35:02Add white truffles for everyone and bring out all the premium caviar you have.

00:35:06Also, three pounds of bluefin tuna belly sashimi for every table.

00:35:10How about now?

00:35:11Does your heart hurt yet?

00:35:12Not at all.

00:35:14Then add a king crab to every table.

00:35:16Also, pack a lobster, a wagyu steak, and a bottle of champagne for everyone to take home.

00:35:21You can have it for afternoon tea.

00:35:22Wow!

00:35:23Jeffrey is so generous.

00:35:25We get to eat our fill and take food home.

00:35:27Is this what real wealth looks like?

00:35:28Jeffrey, that's enough.

00:35:29If you keep ordering, you'll empty out the restaurant's entire inventory.

00:35:33That's exactly what I want.

00:35:34I want to empty out all the expensive stuff.

00:35:37That's the only way someone will learn their lesson.

00:35:39After I got married, I started a fancy restaurant using my parents' trust fund.

00:35:44My husband's brother, Jeffrey, kept bringing his friends here to eat.

00:35:47He came 18 times in a single month.

00:35:50Altogether, he racked up $100,000 in bills and never paid a dime.

00:35:55The restaurant was losing money.

00:35:57I finally couldn't take it anymore.

00:35:59I asked Jeffrey to pay his bill.

00:36:01Instead, Jeffrey slapped me, right in front of all my guests and staff.

00:36:06I only brought my crew here for my brother, Marcus.

00:36:09You should thank me.

00:36:10How dare you ask me for cash?

00:36:16My husband, Marcus, looked away, pretending he had seen nothing.

00:36:22I didn't argue.

00:36:23I didn't make a scene.

00:36:24I just turned around and walked away.

00:36:27Two days later was Jeffrey's birthday.

00:36:29He invited every single one of his friends and family and booked out my whole restaurant.

00:36:34Then he barked an order at me.

00:36:36I booked the whole place for my birthday today.

00:36:38Served the most expensive wine and the best food at every table.

00:36:41I looked down at the contract in my hand.

00:36:44I'd just signed the papers to sell the restaurant.

00:36:46I smiled faintly.

00:36:47Sure.

00:36:51Jeffrey's hand slapped across my face.

00:36:53The noisy restaurant went dead silent.

00:36:55Everyone stared at me.

00:36:57Only my husband, Marcus Ashfield, looked away.

00:37:00He pretended nothing was happening.

00:37:02I looked up.

00:37:04I glanced at angry Jeffrey, then at Marcus, who was pretending not to know what was happening.

00:37:08I didn't argue.

00:37:10I didn't make a scene.

00:37:10I just quietly walked out of the restaurant.

00:37:13You ungrateful piece of trash.

00:37:15How dare you ask me for money?

00:37:17Do it again and I'll make you regret it.

00:37:18I didn't look back.

00:37:20I walked outside.

00:37:21The cool night wind blew against my face.

00:37:23The stinging pain on my cheek grew even sharper.

00:37:26Yet deep down, I was calmer than I had ever been.

00:37:28I took a deep breath.

00:37:29I pulled out my phone and made a call.

00:37:31Hello?

00:37:32I want to sell my restaurant.

00:37:33I don't care about the price.

00:37:34I only have one condition.

00:37:36After I wrapped up the conversation on the phone, I didn't head back to the restaurant.

00:37:41Instead, I went straight home.

00:37:43Marcus, you really need to get Ella in line.

00:37:46She's part of the Ashford family now, yet she had the nerve to publicly hound her Jeffrey

00:37:55Exactly, Marcus.

00:37:56You can't let her get away with this.

00:37:58Look what happened today.

00:37:59I slapped her and she didn't even dare to utter a single word.

00:38:03But she paid for that restaurant with her own trust fund.

00:38:05It's hard for me to interfere too much.

00:38:06So what?

00:38:07She married you, so she belongs to the Ashford family.

00:38:10Her money is your money.

00:38:12What's wrong with your brothers using a little bit of it?

00:38:15Besides, Jeffrey said he brought his friends to help her business.

00:38:17If she doesn't even understand that, why is she running a restaurant?

00:38:46I'm packing.

00:38:47I'm moving out.

00:38:48Ella, how much longer are you going to keep this up?

00:38:50My brother shouldn't have hit you.

00:38:52But you shouldn't have embarrassed him in public either.

00:38:54He's my brother.

00:38:55I can't fight him just for you.

00:38:56Why can't you be more mature?

00:38:58You need to stop being so petty.

00:39:00Don't worry.

00:39:00I won't do it again.

00:39:02I folded my last shirt and put it in the suitcase.

00:39:05I zipped it up.

00:39:06Then I walked out of the house without looking back.

00:39:10Let her go.

00:39:11If she wants to leave, she shouldn't come back.

00:39:13I don't believe she can survive without the Ashford family.

00:39:17Marcus, she's just throwing a tantrum to control you.

00:39:20Ignore her.

00:39:21In a few days, she'll definitely come back crying to apologize.

00:39:25With Victoria and Jeffrey mocking me, I carried my suitcase and walked out of the gate.

00:39:31I booked a room at a hotel near the restaurant.

00:39:50Marcus, who usually loved coming to the restaurant either, but he sent me a few texts.

00:39:54Ella, that's enough.

00:39:55Stop throwing a titrum.

00:39:55My mother is right.

00:39:56You're just spoiled.

00:39:57If you're really that stubborn, don't ever come back.

00:39:58I didn't reply to any of them.

00:40:00I just quietly went about my business.

00:40:02On the third day, I had just signed the last contract.

00:40:05Suddenly, Jeffrey walked in.

00:40:08He looked incredibly arrogant.

00:40:10Victoria and Marcus walked right next to him.

00:40:12Neither of them looked at me.

00:40:14A huge crowd of dozens of people followed behind them.

00:40:17Most of them were Ashford relatives and Jeffrey's friends.

00:40:19As soon as they walked in, they made themselves at home.

00:40:22They sat down wherever they wanted.

00:40:25Today's my birthday, and I'm taking over this entire restaurant.

00:40:32Bring out the lobster, oysters, caviar, wagyu beef, black truffles, and foy vog, and serve

00:40:37champagne.

00:40:38Don't try to cheap out on me.

00:40:40Are you sure you want all these wines and dishes for every table?

00:40:43Once the order is placed, it cannot be changed or canceled.

00:40:48Of course I'm sure!

00:40:49Just do what I told you!

00:40:50Why are you talking so much?

00:40:51Do you want me to slap you again?

00:40:54That's our Jeffrey!

00:40:56Fancy birthday dinner!

00:40:58His friends saw this and started flattering him.

00:41:01Jeffrey, isn't this too expensive?

00:41:03All this high-end food and wine must cost a foreign.

00:41:06Some of the Ashford relatives looked excited.

00:41:12It's just a meal.

00:41:13Enjoy as much as you want.

00:41:14Everything is on me today.

00:41:15Yeah!

00:41:17What are you waiting for?

00:41:19Get the food out!

00:41:19Quit stalling or you'll regret it!

00:41:22I looked at his arrogant, ugly face.

00:41:24Then I looked down at the restaurant transfer contract I had just signed.

00:41:29Fine.

00:41:30After saying that, I walked to the entrance.

00:41:40Bring out the lobster, oysters, caviar, wagyu beef, black truffles, and foy brong.

00:41:45Only serve the champagne.

00:41:46I spoke to the head table.

00:41:47Don't hold back.

00:41:48Boss, this is going to cost a fortune.

00:41:50Can Jeffrey actually afford it?

00:41:51This is what he asked for.

00:41:53Just do as he says.

00:42:59Everyone, eat and drink as much as you want.

00:43:02Order more if it's not enough.

00:43:03Everything is on me today.

00:43:04Don't hold back.

00:43:05The crowd cheered again.

00:43:06Everyone raised their glasses to toast him.

00:43:09Let's drink to Jeffrey.

00:43:10Happy birthday.

00:43:11May you get richer and more powerful every year.

00:43:14Jeffrey felt incredibly satisfied.

00:43:16He loved the toasts and the flattery.

00:43:19If you ever want to eat out in the future, just come to this restaurant.

00:43:22Just give him my name, Jeffrey Ashford.

00:43:23Put everything on my tab.

00:43:24You won't have to pay a single cent.

00:43:25Jeffrey is so generous.

00:43:27We're following Jeffrey from now on.

00:43:28Thank you.

00:43:29Ella, don't you love money?

00:43:31Aren't you obsessed with those petty bills?

00:43:32Today, I'm going to eat your restaurant dry.

00:43:34I'll show you what happens when you cross me.

00:43:36If this had happened before, Jeffrey's words would have given me a headache.

00:43:39But now, I just found it funny.

00:43:41Whatever you say.

00:43:42Jeffrey frowned.

00:43:43He looked annoyed that I wasn't getting angry.

00:43:46Then he glanced at the running bill on the counter.

00:43:48A sly look came over his face.

00:43:50This meal only cost $200,000 so far?

00:43:52No wonder you're so calm.

00:43:53I guess I haven't spent enough yet.

00:43:54Bring me the menu.

00:43:55I want to order more.

00:43:57Add white truffles for everyone and bring out all the premium caviar you have.

00:44:01Also, three pounds of bluefin tuna belly sashimi for every table.

00:44:04How about now?

00:44:05Does your heart hurt yet?

00:44:07Not at all.

00:44:08Then add a king crab to every table.

00:44:11Also, pack a lobster, a wagyu steak, and a bottle of champagne for everyone to take home.

00:44:16You can have it for afternoon tea.

00:44:17Wow!

00:44:18Jeffrey is so generous.

00:44:19We get to eat our fill and take food home.

00:44:21Is this what real wealth looks like?

00:44:23Jeffrey, that's enough.

00:44:24If you keep ordering, you'll empty out the restaurant's entire inventory.

00:44:27That's exactly what I want.

00:44:29I want to empty out all the expensive stuff.

00:44:31That's the only way someone will learn their lesson.

00:44:33After I got married, I started a fancy restaurant using my parents' trust fund.

00:44:38My husband's brother, Jeffrey, kept bringing his friends here to eat.

00:44:42He came 18 times in a single month.

00:44:45Altogether, he racked up $100,000 in bills and never paid a dime.

00:44:50The restaurant was losing money.

00:44:51I finally couldn't take it anymore.

00:44:53I asked Jeffrey to pay his bill.

00:44:57Instead, Jeffrey slapped me, right in front of all my guests and staff.

00:45:01I only brought my crew here for my brother, Marcus.

00:45:03You should thank me.

00:45:05How dare you ask me for cash?

00:45:11My husband, Marcus, looked away, pretending he had seen nothing.

00:45:16I didn't argue.

00:45:18I didn't make a scene.

00:45:19I just turned around and walked away.

00:45:22Two days later was Jeffrey's birthday.

00:45:24He invited every single one of his friends and family and booked out my whole restaurant.

00:45:28Then he barked an order at me.

00:45:31I booked the whole place for my birthday today.

00:45:33Served the most expensive wine and the best food at every table.

00:45:36I looked down at the contract in my hand.

00:45:38I'd just signed the papers to sell the restaurant.

00:45:41I smiled faintly.

00:45:42Sure.

00:45:45Jeffrey's hand slapped across my face.

00:45:48The noisy restaurant went dead silent.

00:45:50Everyone stared at me.

00:45:51Only my husband, Marcus Ashfield, looked away.

00:45:55He pretended nothing was happening.

00:45:57I looked up.

00:45:58I glanced at angry Jeffrey, then at Marcus, who was pretending not to know what was happening.

00:46:03I didn't argue.

00:46:04I didn't make a scene.

00:46:05I just quietly walked out of the restaurant.

00:46:08You ungrateful piece of trash.

00:46:10How dare you ask me for money?

00:46:11Do it again and I'll make you regret it.

00:46:13I didn't look back.

00:46:15I walked outside.

00:46:16The cool night wind blew against my face.

00:46:18The stinging pain on my cheek grew even sharper.

00:46:21Yet deep down, I was calmer than I had ever been.

00:46:23I took a deep breath.

00:46:24I pulled out my phone and made a call.

00:46:26Hello?

00:46:26I want to sell my restaurant.

00:46:28I don't care about the price.

00:46:29I only have one condition.

00:46:31After I wrapped up the conversation on the phone, I didn't head back to the restaurant.

00:46:36Instead, I went straight home.

00:46:38Marcus, you really need to get Ella in line.

00:46:40She's part of the Ashford family now, yet she had the nerve to publicly hound her Jeffrey

00:46:45for money just over a simple meal.

00:46:47If the ladies at the club find out, we'll be humiliated.

00:46:50Exactly, Marcus.

00:46:51You can't let her get away with this.

00:46:53Look what happened today.

00:46:54I slapped her and she didn't even dare to utter a single word.

00:46:57But she paid for that restaurant with her own trust fund.

00:46:59It's hard for me to interfere too much.

00:47:01So what?

00:47:02She married you, so she belongs to the Ashford family.

00:47:05Her money is your money.

00:47:06What's wrong with your brothers using a little bit of it?

00:47:09Besides, Jeffrey said he brought his friends to help her business.

00:47:12If she doesn't even understand that, why is she running a restaurant?

00:47:15You must set her straight today.

00:47:17If she wants to stay in this house, she needs to behave.

00:47:19She can't keep embarrassing us like this.

00:47:22I know.

00:47:24The next second, I burst through the door.

00:47:27All three of them looked at me.

00:47:28Their eyes were full of annoyance.

00:47:30I ignored them.

00:47:32I walked straight into the bedroom.

00:47:34I opened the closet and started packing my clothes.

00:47:37What are you doing?

00:47:41I'm packing.

00:47:42I'm moving out.

00:47:43Ella, how much longer are you going to keep this up?

00:47:45My brother shouldn't have hit you.

00:47:47But you shouldn't have embarrassed him in public either.

00:47:49He's my brother.

00:47:50I can't fight him just for you.

00:47:51Why can't you be more mature?

00:47:52You need to stop being so petty.

00:47:54Don't worry.

00:47:55I won't do it again.

00:47:57I folded my last shirt and put it in the suitcase.

00:48:00I zipped it up.

00:48:01Then I walked out of the house without looking back.

00:48:05Let her go.

00:48:06If she wants to leave, she shouldn't come back.

00:48:08I don't believe she can survive without the Ashford family.

00:48:12Marcus, she's just throwing a tantrum to control you.

00:48:15Ignore her.

00:48:16In a few days, she'll definitely come back crying to apologize.

00:48:20With Victoria and Jeffrey mocking me, I carried my suitcase and walked out of the gate.

00:48:25I booked a room at a hotel near the restaurant.

00:48:29After settling in, my phone buzzed.

00:48:31It was a text message.

00:48:33I read it and smiled with satisfaction.

00:48:36For the next two days, I went to the restaurant as usual.

00:48:38I managed everything like nothing had happened.

00:48:40I just took some time to make a few phone calls and sign some documents.

00:48:43Jeffrey didn't show up during those two days.

00:48:45Marcus, who usually loved coming to the restaurant either, but he sent me a few texts.

00:48:48Ella, that's enough.

00:48:49Stop throwing a titrum.

00:48:50My mother is right.

00:48:51You're just spoiled.

00:48:51If you're really that stubborn, don't ever come back.

00:48:53I didn't reply to any of them.

00:48:55I just quietly went about my business.

00:48:57On the third day, I had just signed the last contract.

00:49:00Suddenly, Jeffrey walked in.

00:49:02He looked incredibly arrogant.

00:49:05Victoria and Marcus walked right next to him.

00:49:07Neither of them looked at me.

00:49:08A huge crowd of dozens of people followed behind them.

00:49:11Most of them were Ashford relatives and Jeffrey's friends.

00:49:14As soon as they walked in, they made themselves at home.

00:49:17They sat down wherever they wanted.

00:49:19Today's my birthday, and I'm taking over this entire restaurant.

00:49:23Serve the most expensive wine and the best food at every table!

00:49:27Bring out the lobster, oysters, caviar, wagyu beef, black truffles, and foy vog, and serve champagne.

00:49:33Don't try to cheap out on me.

00:49:35Are you sure you want all these wines and dishes for every table?

00:49:38Once the order is placed, it cannot be changed or canceled.

00:49:42Of course I'm sure!

00:49:44Just do what I told you!

00:49:45Why are you talking so much?

00:49:46Do you want me to slap you again?

00:49:49That's our Jeffrey!

00:49:51Fancy birthday dinner!

00:49:53His friends saw this and started flattering him.

00:49:56Jeffrey, isn't this too expensive?

00:49:58All this high-end food and wine must cost a foreign.

00:50:01Some of the Ashford relatives looked excited.

00:50:03Others looked worried.

00:50:04Jeffrey waved his hand dismissively.

00:50:06It doesn't matter.

00:50:07It's just a meal.

00:50:08Enjoy as much as you want.

00:50:09Everything is on me today.

00:50:10Yeah!

00:50:12What are you waiting for?

00:50:13Get the food out!

00:50:14Quit stalling or you'll regret it!

00:50:16I looked at his arrogant, ugly face.

00:50:19Then I looked down at the restaurant transfer contract I had just signed.

00:50:24Fine.

00:50:25After saying that, I walked to the entrance.

00:50:27I hung up a sign.

00:50:29It read, closed for private event.

00:50:32Jeffrey booked the whole place today.

00:50:34Serve everything he asked for.

00:50:35Bring out the lobster, oysters, caviar, wagyu beef, black truffles, and foy brong.

00:50:39Only serve the champagne.

00:50:41I spoke to the head table.

00:50:42Don't hold back.

00:50:43Boss, this is going to cost a fortune.

00:50:45Can Jeffrey actually afford it?

00:50:46This is what he asked for.

00:50:47Just do as he says.

00:50:48The head chef saw I was serious.

00:50:50He didn't ask any more questions.

00:50:52He immediately turned around to prepare the food.

00:50:55Soon, the kitchen got busy.

00:50:57Pans sizzled.

00:50:58The chefs shouted orders back and forth.

00:50:59A rich aroma filled the entire restaurant.

00:51:02Jeffrey's group sat in the dining room.

00:51:03They crossed their legs, ate nuts, and talked loudly.

00:51:07Every now and then, they shouted.

00:51:09Hurry up with the food!

00:51:10We're starving!

00:51:10Before long, the expensive dishes started coming out.

00:51:13There was butter-baked lobster, oysters with caviar, wagyu tartar, black truffle risot, and pansteed foie gray.

00:51:18Every dish was beautifully plated.

00:51:19They all looked incredibly expensive.

00:51:20The sommelier popped open bottle after bottle of champagne.

00:51:23He poured it for every table.

00:51:24Oh my god!

00:51:25Are we really getting all this amazing food and wine?

00:51:27Jeffrey, you are awesome!

00:51:27Take a picture for social media.

00:51:29Most people will never eat like this in their lives.

00:51:31Jeffrey is my hero from now on!

00:51:32The relatives joined in with the compliments, too.

00:51:36Oh my god.

00:51:37I've only seen black truffles, caviar, and champagne in magazines.

00:51:41I never thought I'd get to taste them in my life.

00:51:43I always heard we'd live the good life if we followed Jeffrey.

00:51:46I didn't expect it to be this good.

00:51:49Jeffrey is so successful.

00:51:50He's so young, yet so generous and capable.

00:51:52He's going to do great things.

00:51:54Everyone, eat and drink as much as you want.

00:51:56Order more if it's not enough.

00:51:58Everything is on me today.

00:51:59Don't hold back!

00:51:59The crowd cheered again.

00:52:01Everyone raised their glasses to toast him.

00:52:03Let's drink to Jeffrey!

00:52:05Happy birthday!

00:52:06May you get richer and more powerful every year!

00:52:09Jeffrey felt incredibly satisfied.

00:52:11He loved the toasts and the flattery.

00:52:14If you ever want to eat out in the future, just come to this restaurant.

00:52:16Just give him my name, Jeffrey Ashford.

00:52:18Put everything on my tab.

00:52:19You won't have to pay a single cent.

00:52:20Jeffrey is so generous.

00:52:21We're following Jeffrey from now on.

00:52:23Thank you.

00:52:24Ella, don't you love money?

00:52:25Aren't you obsessed with those petty bills?

00:52:27Today, I'm going to eat your restaurant dry.

00:52:29I'll show you what happens when you cross me.

00:52:31If this had happened before,

00:52:32Jeffrey's words would have given me a headache.

00:52:34But now, I just found it funny.

00:52:36Whatever you say.

00:52:37Jeffrey frowned.

00:52:38He looked annoyed that I wasn't getting angry.

00:52:40Then he glanced at the running bill on the counter.

00:52:43A sly look came over his face.

00:52:44This meal only cost $200,000 so far?

00:52:47No wonder you're so calm.

00:52:48I guess I haven't spent enough yet.

00:52:49Bring me the menu.

00:52:50I want to order more.

00:52:52Add white truffles for everyone

00:52:55Also, three pounds of bluefin tuna belly sashimi for every table.

00:52:59How about now?

00:53:00Does your heart hurt yet?

00:53:02Not at all.

00:53:03Then add a king crab to every table.

00:53:06Also, pack a lobster, a Wagyu steak,

00:53:09and a bottle of champagne for everyone to take home.

00:53:10You can have it for afternoon tea.

00:53:16Is this what real wealth looks like?

00:53:18Jeffrey, that's enough.

00:53:19If you keep ordering,

00:53:20you'll empty out the restaurant's entire inventory.

00:53:22That's exactly what I want.

00:53:24I want to empty out all the expensive stuff.

00:53:26That's the only way someone will learn their lesson.

00:53:28After I got married,

00:53:30I started a fancy restaurant using my parents' trust fund.

00:53:33My husband's brother, Jeffrey,

00:53:35kept bringing his friends here to eat.

00:53:37He came 18 times in a single month.

00:53:39Altogether, he racked up $100,000 in bills

00:53:46I finally couldn't take it anymore.

00:53:48I asked Jeffrey to pay his bill.

00:53:51Instead, Jeffrey slapped me

00:53:55I only brought my crew here for my brother, Marcus.

00:53:58You should thank me.

00:53:59How dare you ask me for cash?

00:54:06My husband, Marcus,

00:54:08looked away,

00:54:09pretending he had seen nothing.

00:54:11I didn't argue.

00:54:12I didn't make a scene.

00:55:45Exactly, Marcus.

00:55:46You can't let her get away with this.

00:55:47Look what happened today.

00:55:49I slapped her,

00:55:50and she didn't even dare to utter a single word.

00:55:52But she paid for that restaurant

00:55:53with her own trust fund.

00:55:54It's hard for me to interfere too much.

00:55:56So what?

00:55:57She married you,

00:55:58so she belongs to the Ashford family.

00:56:00Her money is your money.

00:56:01What's wrong with your brothers

00:56:02using a little bit of it?

00:56:04Besides,

00:56:05Jeffrey said he brought his friends

00:56:06to help her business.

00:56:07If she doesn't even understand that,

00:56:09why is she running a restaurant?

00:56:10You must set her straight today.

00:56:38how much longer are you going to keep this up?

00:56:40My brother shouldn't have hit you,

00:56:41but you shouldn't have embarrassed him in public either.

00:56:43He's my brother.

00:56:44I can't fight him just for you.

00:56:46Why can't you be more mature?

00:56:47You need to stop being so petty.

00:56:49Don't worry.

00:56:50I won't do it again.

00:56:52I folded my last shirt

00:56:53and put it in the suitcase.

00:56:54I zipped it up.

00:56:56Then I walked out of the house

00:56:57without looking back.

00:56:59Let her go.

00:57:01If she wants to leave,

00:57:02she shouldn't come back.

00:57:03I don't believe she can survive

00:57:05without the Ashford family.

00:57:07Marcus,

00:57:08she's just throwing a tantrum

00:57:09to control you.

00:57:10Ignore her.

00:57:11In a few days,

00:57:12she'll definitely come back

00:57:13crying to apologize.

00:57:14With Victoria and Jeffrey mocking me,

00:57:17I carried my suitcase

00:57:18and walked out of the gate.

00:57:20I booked a room

00:57:21at a hotel near the restaurant.

00:57:23After settling in,

00:57:25my phone buzzed.

00:57:26It was a text message.

00:57:28I read it

00:57:29and smiled with satisfaction.

00:57:30For the next two days,

00:57:31I went to the restaurant as usual.

00:57:33I managed everything

00:57:34like nothing had happened.

00:57:35I just took some time

00:57:36to make a few phone calls

00:57:37and sign some documents.

00:57:38Jeffrey didn't show up

00:57:39during those two days.

00:57:40Marcus,

00:57:40who usually loved

00:57:41coming to the restaurant either,

00:57:42but he sent me a few texts.

00:57:43Ella, that's enough.

00:57:44Stop throwing a titrum.

00:57:45My mother is right.

00:57:45You're just spoiled.

00:57:46If you're really that stubborn,

00:57:47don't ever come back.

00:57:48I didn't reply to any of them.

00:57:49I just quietly went

00:57:50about my business.

00:57:51On the third day,

00:57:53I had just signed

00:57:54the last contract.

00:57:55Suddenly,

00:57:56Jeffrey walked in.

00:57:57He looked incredibly arrogant.

00:57:59Victoria and Marcus

00:58:00walked right next to him.

00:58:02Neither of them

00:58:02looked at me.

00:58:03A huge crowd

00:58:04of dozens of people

00:58:05followed behind them.

00:58:06Most of them

00:58:07were Ashford relatives

00:58:08and Jeffrey's friends.

00:58:08As soon as they walked in,

00:58:10they made themselves at home.

00:58:12They sat down

00:58:13wherever they wanted.

00:58:14Today's my birthday

00:58:15and I'm taking over

00:58:16this entire restaurant.

00:58:18Serve the most expensive wine

00:58:19and the best food

00:58:20at every table!

00:58:21Bring out the lobster,

00:58:23oysters, caviar,

00:58:24wagyu beef,

00:58:25black truffles,

00:58:26and foivog

00:58:26and serve champagne.

00:58:28Don't try to cheap out on me.

00:58:30Are you sure you want

00:58:31all these wines and dishes

00:58:32for every table?

00:58:33Once the order is placed,

00:58:34it cannot be changed

00:58:35or canceled.

00:58:37Of course I'm sure!

00:58:39Just do what I told you!

00:58:40Why are you talking so much?

00:58:41Do you want me

00:58:41to slap you again?

00:58:44That's our Jeffrey!

00:58:45Fancy birthday dinner!

00:58:48His friends saw this

00:58:49and started flattering him.

00:58:51Jeffrey,

00:58:52isn't this too expensive?

00:58:53All this high-end food

00:58:54and wine must cost a foreign.

00:58:55Some of the Ashford relatives

00:58:57looked excited.

00:58:58Others looked worried.

00:58:59Jeffrey waved his hand

00:59:00dismissively.

00:59:01It doesn't matter.

00:59:02It's just a meal.

00:59:03Enjoy as much as you want.

00:59:04Everything is on me today.

00:59:07What are you waiting for?

00:59:08Get the food out!

00:59:09Quit stalling

00:59:10or you'll regret it!

00:59:11I looked at his arrogant,

00:59:13ugly face.

00:59:14Then I looked down

00:59:15at the restaurant transfer contract

00:59:16I had just signed.

00:59:19Fine.

00:59:20After saying that,

00:59:21I walked to the entrance.

00:59:22I hung up a sign.

00:59:23It read,

00:59:24Closed for private event.

00:59:26Jeffrey booked

00:59:27the whole place today.

00:59:28Serve everything he asked for.

00:59:30Bring out the lobster,

00:59:31oysters,

00:59:31caviar,

00:59:32wagyu beef,

00:59:33black truffles,

00:59:33and foybrong.

00:59:34Only serve the champagne.

00:59:35I spoke to the head table.

00:59:37Don't hold back.

00:59:38Boss,

00:59:38this is going to cost a fortune.

00:59:39Can Jeffrey actually afford it?

00:59:41This is what he asked for.

00:59:42Just do as he says.

00:59:43The head chef saw I was serious.

00:59:45He didn't ask any more questions.

00:59:47He immediately turned around

00:59:48to prepare the food.

00:59:49Soon,

00:59:50the kitchen got busy.

00:59:51Hands sizzle.

00:59:52The chefs shouted orders

00:59:53back and forth.

00:59:54A rich aroma

00:59:55filled the entire restaurant.

00:59:56Jeffrey's group

00:59:57sat in the dining room.

00:59:58They crossed their legs,

01:00:00ate nuts,

01:00:00and talked loudly.

01:00:02Every now and then,

01:00:02they shouted,

01:00:03Hurry up with the food!

01:00:05We're starving!

01:00:06Before long,

01:00:06the expensive dishes

01:00:07started coming out.

01:00:08There was butter-baked lobster,

01:00:09oysters with caviar,

01:00:10wagyu tartar,

01:00:11black truffle risotto,

01:00:12and pan-steed foie gray.

01:00:12Every dish was beautifully plated.

01:00:14They all looked incredibly expensive.

01:00:15The sommelier popped open

01:00:16bottle after bottle of champagne.

01:00:18He poured it for every table.

01:00:19Oh my God!

01:00:20Are we really getting

01:00:20all this amazing food and wine?

01:00:21Jeffrey, you are awesome!

01:00:22Take a picture for social media.

01:00:23Most people will never eat

01:00:24like this in their lives.

01:00:25Jeffrey is my hero

01:00:26from now on!

01:00:27The relatives joined in

01:00:29with the compliments, too.

01:00:31Oh my God!

01:00:32I've only seen black truffles,

01:00:34caviar,

01:00:34and champagne in magazines.

01:00:36I never thought

01:00:36I'd get to taste them in my life.

01:00:38I always heard

01:00:39we'd live the good life

01:00:40if we followed Jeffrey.

01:00:41I didn't expect it

01:00:42to be this good.

01:00:43Jeffrey is so successful.

01:00:45He's so young,

01:00:46yet so generous and capable.

01:00:47He's going to do great things.

01:00:49Everyone,

01:00:50eat and drink as much as you want.

01:00:51Order more if it's not enough.

01:00:52Everything is on me today.

01:00:54Don't hold back!

01:00:54The crowd cheered again.

01:00:56Everyone raised their glasses

01:00:57to toast him.

01:00:58Let's drink to Jeffrey!

01:01:00Happy birthday!

01:01:01May you get richer

01:01:02and more powerful every year!

01:01:04Jeffrey felt incredibly satisfied.

01:01:06He loved the toasts

01:01:07and the flattery.

01:01:08If you ever want to eat out

01:01:09in the future,

01:01:10just come to this restaurant.

01:01:11Just give him my name,

01:01:12Jeffrey Ashford.

01:01:13Put everything on my tab.

01:01:14You won't have to pay

01:01:14a single cent.

01:01:15Jeffrey is so generous.

01:01:16We're following Jeffrey

01:01:17from now on.

01:01:18Thank you.

01:01:19Ella,

01:01:19don't you love money?

01:01:20Aren't you obsessed

01:01:21with those petty bills?

01:01:22Today,

01:01:22I'm going to eat

01:01:23your restaurant dry.

01:01:24I'll show you what happens

01:01:25when you cross me.

01:01:25If this had happened before,

01:01:27Jeffrey's words

01:01:27would have given me

01:01:28a headache.

01:01:29But now,

01:01:30I just found it funny.

01:01:31Whatever you say.

01:01:32Jeffrey frowned.

01:01:33He looked annoyed

01:01:34that I wasn't getting angry.

01:01:35Then he glanced

01:01:36at the running bill

01:01:37on the counter.

01:01:37A sly look

01:01:38came over his face.

01:01:39This meal only cost

01:01:40$200,000 so far?

01:01:42No wonder you're so calm.

01:01:43I guess I haven't spent

01:01:43enough yet.

01:01:44Bring me the menu.

01:01:44I want to order more.

01:01:47Add white truffles

01:01:48for everyone

01:01:48and bring out

01:01:49all the premium caviar

01:01:50you have.

01:01:50Also,

01:01:51three pounds

01:01:51of bluefin tuna belly sashimi

01:01:52for every table.

01:01:54How about now?

01:01:55Does your heart hurt yet?

01:01:56Not at all.

01:01:58Then add a king crab

01:01:59to every table.

01:02:00Also,

01:02:01pack a lobster,

01:02:02a wagyu steak,

01:02:03and a bottle of champagne

01:02:04for everyone to take home.

01:02:05You can have it

01:02:06for afternoon tea.

01:02:07Wow!

01:02:07Jeffrey is so generous.

01:02:09We get to eat our fill

01:02:10and take food home.

01:02:11Is this what real wealth

01:02:12looks like?

01:02:12Jeffrey,

01:02:13that's enough.

01:02:14If you keep ordering,

01:02:14you'll empty out

01:02:15the restaurant's

01:02:15entire inventory.

01:02:17That's exactly

01:02:18what I want.

01:02:18I want to empty out

01:02:19all the expensive stuff.

01:02:21That's the only way

01:02:22someone will learn

01:02:22their lesson.

01:02:23Yeah.
