00:00Il y avait 8 daughters-in-law in the Whitmore family.
00:03Je suis la plus forte.
00:04Les autres 7 ont apporté sur les listes de Forbes.
00:07L'année après l'année, je suis allé sur les shopping sprees dans Beverly Hills.
00:12Ils discutent des marges et des acquisitions.
00:14Je ne savais pas une chose.
00:16La dernière des designer bag allocation de mon Hermès VIP associate.
00:22Pour eux, je suis la belle, useless femme Julien avait été blind enough à marryre.
00:27Je ne savais pas.
00:30Je ne savais pas, Julien's black card, had no limit.
00:33Et tout j'ai eu devait être prête.
00:36Puis plusieurs international investment firms ont été mis au bout de Whitmore Group.
00:40Ils ont presque poussé le Whitmore empire à la brink de collapse.
00:44Adrien Crane s'est mis en train d'avoir.
00:46En utilisant trois overseas gold mines comme un collatéral,
00:49il a drainé Whitmore Group's last cash reserves.
00:53Le whole family était en chaos.
00:56My father-in-law, Charles Whitmore, looked ten years older overnight.
01:01The other daughters-in-law called in every favor they had,
01:04but no one could figure out who Adrien Crane really was.
01:08Adrien sat on Charles' usual sofa
01:11and demanded controlling interest in Whitmore Group.
01:14I came downstairs with a cup of coffee and frowned.
01:20Who is this hick?
01:22He got my couch dirty.
01:23Evelyn, the eldest daughter-in-law, yanked me behind her.
01:27Nora, get upstairs.
01:28Now.
01:30Julien pulled me behind him.
01:32Stay behind me.
01:33I won't let anyone hurt you.
01:35Even with the family falling apart around us,
01:37the whole family still protected me without a word.
01:41I turned, reluctantly.
01:43Then I saw the Patek Felipe on Adrien's wrist.
01:47No way.
01:47A man who owns three gold mines is wearing a patate with crooked hour markers?
01:56Our cash flow just dried up.
01:58New York pulled every line of credit.
01:59The living room fell silent.
02:02The Whitmores were one of the East Coast's most prominent old money families.
02:07Every member of the family was extraordinary.
02:10Evelyn, the wife of the eldest son, was a top Wall Street investment banker.
02:16Sloan, the wife of the second son, was one of the most powerful names in venture capital.
02:23My father-in-law, Charles Whitmore, had led Whitmore Group for 40 years.
02:28And then there was me.
02:30Nora Whitmore.
02:31Julian Whitmore's wife.
02:33The youngest son's gold-digging wife.
02:36In everyone else's eyes.
02:38But I was not a gold digger.
02:41I didn't just buy bags.
02:43I bought the business behind them.
02:45For an old money family like the Whitmores, appearances are the aesthetic.
02:50That's why I shop.
02:52I lounged on a custom sofa in Hermes Orange, scrolling through my tablet.
02:56My Beverly Hills VIP associate had sent over the latest designer bag allocation.
03:02Three Himalayan crocodile bags.
03:04Two diamond hardware Birkins.
03:07Sloan, did any of the European funds get back to us?
03:13They all turned us down.
03:15Adrian Crane drained our last cash reserves.
03:18Those three gold mines have cut off every way out.
03:22Want one?
03:25Julian, the company's falling apart and you're still feeding her grapes?
03:30Evelyn, you've got enough to worry about.
03:32Nora gets scared easily.
03:34Leave her out of it.
03:35Evelyn turned away.
03:36To her, I was a beautiful waste of space who only knew how to spend money.
03:41I never bothered explaining myself.
03:43I sent my VIP associate a photo of a Himalayan crocodile bag and a voice note.
03:49I'll take this one.
03:53Nora, Whitmore Group's accounts could be frozen any minute.
03:57We're about to go bankrupt and you're still shopping for bags?
04:02She sounded angry, but she held it in.
04:05That was the Whitmore family.
04:07No matter how little they respected me,
04:09they still tried to leave me some dignity when things got bad.
04:13Let her have it.
04:15Julian, pay for it out of your personal account.
04:18The Whitmers haven't fallen so far that we can't buy Nora one bag.
04:25Charles seemed to have more gray in his hair overnight.
04:28He looked ten years older.
04:29Thank you, Charles.
04:31Evelyn glanced at the clock on the wall.
04:36Charles, Adrian Crane will be here any minute.
04:39What do we do if he demands controlling interest in Whitmore Group?
04:47Sir, Adrian Crane is here.
04:49His eyes were serious in a way I could not ignore.
04:51Nora, go upstairs.
04:53No matter what you hear, stay upstairs.
04:56I'm not done picking out my bags.
04:59Nora!
04:59Evelyn was barely holding back her temper.
05:01This is not the time to be shopping for bags.
05:04Crane will do whatever it takes to get what he wants.
05:07If you stay down here, he'll use you against us.
05:10I looked at Evelyn's stern expression and almost laughed.
05:13Bennett, take Nora upstairs.
05:15This way, Mrs. Whitmore.
05:20Fine.
05:20Even while she was angry, she was trying to protect me.
05:24Protecting the family's pretty, useless daughter-in-law from becoming an easy target.
05:29Charles, it's been a while.
05:32Hope you're ready to hand over Whitmore Group.
05:38You really know how to make an entrance, Adrian.
05:40A smile played on Adrian's lips, but there was something unsettling about it.
05:45Adrian ignored Evelyn and walked into the living room.
05:47His gaze passed over the Persian carpet and priceless paintings before settling on Charles.
05:53You don't look so good, Charles.
05:55At your age, you should take better care of yourself.
05:59Enough.
06:01What do you want?
06:12Whitmore Group's cash flow has dried up.
06:14Your three overseas acquisitions are at a standstill and the penalties keep piling up.
06:19That's Whitmore business.
06:20It's none of your concern.
06:23Evelyn, Wall Street calls you the queen of M&A,
06:25but up against real capital, you're way out of your depth.
06:28I've got an agreement right here.
06:29Charles signs it, hands over controlling interest in Whitmore Group,
06:33and I put $30 billion into the company.
06:35I keep Whitmore Group alive.
06:39$30 billion for controlling interest in Whitmore Group?
06:42Adrian, you're greedy as hell.
06:44Sloan, that's not how this works.
06:46Whitmore Group is losing value by the day.
06:48Give it three days, and it'll be worthless.
06:51This isn't a negotiation.
06:55Sign it.
06:57Or lose everything.
07:02Even if the Whitmills go under,
07:04we're not handing this family's legacy to you.
07:09Julian, you've still got guts.
07:11Too bad guts won't keep a company afloat.
07:14Oh, I almost forgot.
07:16Those three overseas gold mines I put up as collateral?
07:19They've doubled in value.
07:21Now every creditor's on my side.
07:24Sign it, Charles.
07:26Unless you want to see your whole family out on the street.
07:29From the second floor landing,
07:31I watched the scene unfold below.
07:34Adrian knew exactly where it would hurt most.
07:37He delivered his cruelest blows in the softest voice.
07:48Charles, take it easy.
07:50Who are you?
07:53We checked everyone who could own those mines.
07:55Your name never came up.
07:58Who I am is not important.
08:00I can bury the Whitmore Group with one call.
08:03You have one hour.
08:05No transfer of control.
08:07And liquidation proceedings begin.
08:10Then he looked up.
08:11Straight at me.
08:13I hear the Wimmer's youngest daughter-in-law, Nora,
08:15is quite the beauty.
08:20I wonder if she'll still be buying her maze
08:22after Whitmore Group goes bankrupt.
08:29Keep your eyes off her.
08:33Julian, relax.
08:35I was just curious.
08:36Someone as spoiled as Nora?
08:38Without the Whitmore's,
08:40she wouldn't last a day.
08:41Julian, don't.
08:45Adrian, one hour isn't enough.
08:51We need time to verify the mine reports
08:53and the collateral documents you brought.
08:57Verify them?
08:59Evelyn, you still haven't faced reality, have you?
09:02Everything you need is in there.
09:06Reports from the world's top valuation
09:08firms, check every page if you want.
09:11Just remember,
09:13every minute you drag this out,
09:15Whitmore Group's stock drops another point.
09:20Bring me the documents.
09:27Charles, I went through everything.
09:30The reserve estimates, mining permits, the collateral agreements, they all check out.
09:36In that moment, Evelyn's years of investment banking experience meant nothing.
09:41The papers were flawless, a perfectly woven trap around Whitmore Group.
09:47That's impossible.
09:49A mining deal that big would have been all over Wall Street.
09:54Evelyn, it's a big world.
09:57Not everything runs through Wall Street.
10:01I failed this family.
10:06Dad, it is not over.
10:08We still have options.
10:12No, we don't.
10:15Go to my study.
10:17Bring down the stock transfer papers from the safe.
10:19Charles, no!
10:24If we hand over controlling interest, Whitfield Group is no longer ours.
10:29If we don't, the creditors will wipe us out by tomorrow.
10:32I'm old.
10:33I don't have much left to lose.
10:36But you are all still young.
10:38Especially Nora.
10:40At the sound of my name, I froze on the stairs.
10:43Nora's never had a hard day in her life.
10:45She married into this family.
10:47She shouldn't have to go through this with us.
10:51Evelyn, bring Nora down.
10:53Have her sign the divorce papers.
10:56Julian has an independent trust that isn't tied to the company.
10:59Nora can take that money and leave.
11:02Charles, Nora may not understand any of this, but she's still a Whitmorth.
11:08Bring Nora down.
11:10Charles, you really would do anything for your family.
11:14But when it all falls apart, everyone has to save themselves.
11:19Nora can't live without luxury.
11:22She's probably already packed and ready to leave.
11:26Shut up!
11:29If Evelyn had grabbed him,
11:31Julian's fist would have landed in Adrian's face.
11:35Bring Nora down.
11:36I watched everything from upstairs.
11:38For three years,
11:40everyone in this family had looked down on me.
11:42They thought I was an embarrassment to the Whitmore family.
11:45But now that the family was in trouble,
11:47their first thought was to get me somewhere safe.
11:50My custom Italian espresso machine sat on a marble bar.
11:53I turned it on and made myself a cup.
11:58Mrs. Whitmore?
12:02Every eye in the room turned toward me.
12:05I looked completely out of place in a room drowning in despair.
12:10Nora Whitmore, I've heard you're quite the beauty.
12:13They weren't exaggerating.
12:17Still drinking coffee at a time like this?
12:19You're a lot calmer than the rest of them.
12:22Who is this hick?
12:23He got my couch dirty.
12:29My voice was not loud.
12:31But in the dead silence of the living room,
12:34everyone heard it.
12:35Nora, you sure know how to make an impression.
12:37Nora, get upstairs.
12:40This isn't your fight.
12:42Stay behind me.
12:43I won't let anyone hurt you.
12:45Nora, please.
12:46Just do what Evelyn says.
12:48Go upstairs.
12:49When it mattered most,
12:51everyone moved to protect me without a word.
12:54They did not want me to anger the man
12:56who'd backed the Whitmores into a corner.
12:58Charles, your family still doesn't understand
13:01how bad things are.
13:02Since Nora won't back down,
13:05forget the divorce papers.
13:06You can all go to hell together.
13:08He pulled out his phone,
13:10ready to give the final order.
13:11Charles shut his eyes in pain.
13:13Sloan sank to the floor.
13:15As I turned away,
13:17Adrian lifted his wrist.
13:19A Patek Philippi.
13:20The Grand Complications Celestial.
13:22A man claiming to own three gold mines.
13:25Wearing a fake watch.
13:26I almost laughed.
13:30Big shot, huh?
13:33The hour markers on your Patek are crooked.
13:36Your watch is fake.
13:39Do you even own those three gold mines?
13:42Or are those mine reports Photoshopped too?
13:47The room went still.
13:49Slowly, Adrian looked up at me
13:51like I'd lost my mind.
13:53What did you just say?
13:57Nora, are you out of your mind?
13:58Why would you say that now?
14:00He could ruin us.
14:01Julian panicked too.
14:02Nora, stop.
14:04This has nothing to do with you.
14:07I walked to the coffee table and set my coffee beside the so-called mind documents.
14:13I am not making trouble.
14:15I am telling you that the watch on your wrist is a high-end fake.
14:19A Patek Philippe Celestial has a hand-painted Celestial dial.
14:23At six o'clock, where the nebula meets the hour markers, there should be a nearly invisible signature.
14:28Yours doesn't have one.
14:30And the galaxy shading is blurry.
14:32You'd be lucky to get 200 bucks for that at a Beverly Hills flea market.
14:41Ridiculous.
14:44Has the Whitmore family really come to this?
14:47You're letting a woman who only knows how to buy bags make accusations like this?
14:52If this is your idea of buying time, it's pathetic.
14:57Nora, enough.
15:00Adrian is worth hundreds of billions.
15:03Why would he wear a fake watch?
15:05You think reading a few luxury magazines makes you an expert on watches?
15:09You know people, Sloane.
15:11But you don't know luxury goods.
15:14Move.
15:15I didn't even look at him.
15:17The bodyguard stopped short.
15:19Something in my voice made him hesitate.
15:22Let her read it.
15:25I want to see what someone who can't read a balance sheet thinks she found in a top appraisal report.
15:33I opened the report.
15:35The paper was high quality.
15:37The printing was clean.
15:38Every stamp and signature looked legitimate.
15:41At first glance, it was convincing.
15:45Nora, put that down!
15:47She was still trying to stop this before it got worse.
15:50You don't know what you're looking at.
15:52I ignored her and flipped straight to page 15.
15:56A mine reserve map and a satellite image filled the page.
16:01Adrian, this report was issued last month, wasn't it?
16:05So?
16:06Then you've got a problem.
16:09Evelyn.
16:10Sloane.
16:11You both know your way around a due diligence report.
16:14Check the coordinates.
16:15Then look at the edge of that satellite image.
16:18That's a feathering edge.
16:20Whoever edited this image left pixels behind.
16:23These coordinates are for the Poseidon 2 mine.
16:26It was hit by a once-in-a-century mudslide last month.
16:29The terrain doesn't even look like this anymore.
16:33This satellite image is three years old.
16:37You edited it into a report dated last month.
16:41If you're going to fake a report, at least hire someone who knows Photoshop.
16:48The living room fell silent again.
16:51The only sound was the low hum of the air conditioning.
16:58She held the page beneath the light, studying every pixel.
17:03Sloane leaned in beside her, one hand braced against the coffee table.
17:08Neither woman spoke.
17:09Their breathing grew shallow.
17:12Adrian's jaw tightened.
17:14For a split second, the smile on his face slipped.
17:18Then it returned.
17:20Smooth, polished, and completely false.
17:24Nora, you've got quite an imagination.
17:26He adjusted his tie, trying to hide the flicker of panic in his eyes.
17:30One tiny flaw in an image and you build this whole story?
17:34And that mudslide you mentioned?
17:37Total nonsense.
17:39Charles, I'm done entertaining this.
17:41If you won't sign, we'll settle it in court.
17:46Wait.
17:49It's fake.
17:53That jagged edge is from image editing.
17:55And I'm checking what Nora said about the mudslide.
17:58The room held its breath.
18:01A few seconds later, she sucked in a sharp breath.
18:07I found it.
18:10Poseidon 2 was hit by a major mudslide on the 14th of last month.
18:14Half the mine was buried.
18:16The entire site was under emergency restrictions.
18:19There's no way they could have issued a new exploration report after that.
18:25Adrian, explain yourself.
18:27Hope sparked in Charles' gaze.
18:30Adrian stood with his back to us.
18:32His shoulder stiffened.
18:34For one long second, no one moved.
18:36So what if there's a problem with the report?
18:39The mines belong to the institution behind me.
18:43Wimmer Group's cash flow is still gone.
18:48Without control of the company and fresh funding, Wittmore Group will still be bankrupt tomorrow.
18:53Sign the papers.
18:55Or I'll make sure New York finance shuts you out for good.
19:03You're threatening the Wittmores?
19:05Threatening you?
19:06No.
19:07I'm stating facts.
19:10Nora, right?
19:12You think spotting a fake watch in a bad Photoshop job is enough to save the Wittmores?
19:16He gave a cold, dismissive laugh.
19:18Naive.
19:19You have no idea what real leverage looks like.
19:22He pulled out his phone again, thumb hovering over the screen, ready to give the order that
19:26would push Wittmore Group's debt crisis over the edge.
19:29Adrian, you said those three gold mines belong to the institution behind you.
19:36Which institution?
19:39Why do you want to know?
19:41No reason.
19:47I just want to know if someone's been using my name to run a scam without paying for the
19:52privilege.
19:55I unlocked my phone and dialed a number.
19:58One ring.
19:59Then another.
20:01Boss, what do you need?
20:05Richard.
20:06Poseidon 2, Poseidon 3, and Sunset Valley.
20:10Who are those three mines registered to?
20:13They're registered to you, Nora Whitmore.
20:14Your private offshore trust holds controlling interest in all three mines.
20:18Would you like me to send the ownership certificates now?
20:21The room went dead quiet.
20:23Evelyn's magnifying glass slipped from her hand and hit the carpet.
20:27Sloane stared at me, her mouth slightly open, like she didn't recognize me anymore.
20:33Charles clenched his fists, breathing hard.
20:36Julian looked at me in stunned disbelief.
20:39Adrian's face went dark.
20:44The polished gentleman was gone.
20:46You hired an actor for this little performance?
20:54Richard, someone showed up at the Whitmore Estate with collateral documents for those mines.
20:59Find out which shell company is behind it.
21:03Keyboard clicks came through the phone.
21:06Boss, I found them.
21:07Starlight Capital, a shell company registered in the Cayman Islands.
21:11They used forged authorization letters and outdated exploration data to secure high leverage financing.
21:17Adrian Crane is behind it.
21:18Want me to notify Interpol and freeze every related account?
21:22Cold sweat covered his forehead.
21:25His legs had started to shake.
21:27Freeze the accounts first, then return every dollar they siphoned from Whitmore Group.
21:32You have ten minutes.
21:34Understood, boss.
21:36The call ended.
21:38Adrian, looks like you just lost your leverage.
21:43Stop pretending.
21:44You?
21:45You're useless.
21:47The Whitemores have been taking care of you all along.
21:49How could you possibly own three gold mines?
21:52Do you have any idea what those mines are worth?
21:55Those are hundred billion dollar assets.
21:58Evelyn and Sloan stared at me, too.
22:00They had always taken me for a brainless gold digger who spent every day shopping in Beverly Hills.
22:07A woman who cared about nothing but her mess bags and Julian's black card.
22:14Why not?
22:17When I buy a bag, I buy the supply chain behind it.
22:24You thought I went to Beverly Hills just to shop?
22:30Charles, I buy the mines that supply raw materials to luxury brands.
22:33I buy controlling stakes in their supply chains.
22:36Those three gold mines are among the smallest assets in my portfolio.
22:43Before you try to scam someone, you should find out who you're dealing with.
22:46No, that's impossible.
22:48He pulled out his phone and called his associates.
22:51The call wouldn't go through.
22:53His accounts had already been frozen.
22:55Why isn't anyone answering?
22:58His polished facade cracked.
23:00He looked like a gambler who had just lost everything.
23:04What did you do?
23:05What happened to my financing?
23:09Nothing much.
23:11Richard shut down your high leverage funding.
23:13Starlight Capital is nothing but a debt-ridden shell now.
23:17Adrian, liquidation is about to begin.
23:20Just not for Whitmore Group.
23:22For you.
23:28Nora, is all of this true?
23:35Charles, these are the real ownership certificates for the three mines.
23:39See for yourself.
23:41Evelyn examined every detail with painstaking care.
23:44Her hands shook harder than before.
23:47A UBS asset guarantee.
23:50Beneficeria?
23:51Nora Whitmore.
23:53Nora, what else have you been hiding from us?
23:58These three mines are already worth 80 billion dollars?
24:02And they're only a fraction of what her offshore trust holds.
24:05The room went silent again.
24:09Only Adrian's ragged breathing remained.
24:12Then he snapped.
24:16Fake!
24:17They're all fake!
24:19His four bodyguards moved in, ready to intervene.
24:31Bennett, call security.
24:33Get this trash out of my house.
24:37More than a dozen Whitmore security guards rushed in from outside.
24:41Adrian's men were restrained almost instantly.
24:44Two guards hauled Adrian to his feet.
24:52Nora, don't celebrate just yet.
24:55You have no idea who you're taking on.
25:00I'd love to meet the firm that thinks it can come after me.
25:06Call the police.
25:07He forged documents and ran a massive financial scam.
25:10He can learn Photoshop in federal prison.
25:13Adrian kept struggling, but Whitmore's security gave him no chance.
25:16The heavy doors closed behind him.
25:19The living room went quiet.
25:20The crisis was over, but something else had just begun.
25:24The Whitmores were looking at me differently now.
25:27Evelyn still clutched the real ownership certificates.
25:31Shock gave way to respect.
25:33Nora.
25:34And beneath it, guilt.
25:36She opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
25:39Sloane stood nearby with her head lowered.
25:42The usual confidence of the venture capital, Queen, was gone.
25:52Nora.
25:57This family hasn't treated you right these past few years.
26:01Charles, you don't have to say that.
26:03The Whitmores have been good to me.
26:05Julian gave me a black card with no limit.
26:07I've been perfectly happy at the mention of the black card.
26:11Evelyn's face flushed.
26:13For years, my carefree spending had been the thing she held against me most.
26:18Now she knew the money I spent barely made a dent in my own fortune.
26:23Evelyn, Richard will have the money Starlight took back in Whitmore Group's accounts shortly.
26:27As for the restructuring and what comes next, let Julian take over.
26:32He's a lot smarter than any of you give him credit for.
26:36Julian went still.
26:37He had always thought I was someone he needed to protect.
26:40Now I was putting the future of Whitmore Group in his hands.
26:45Nora.
26:46Who are you?
26:48I'm Nora.
26:49The wife you married because you were blind.
26:53I'm not blind.
26:55I found a treasure.
27:01Nora.
27:02I was wrong about you.
27:04I may need your advice on those European funds and acquisitions after all.
27:08Sloan, I don't know anything about acquisitions.
27:11I only know how to buy bags.
27:14Right.
27:15Buy the bags and the supply chain behind them.
27:18Nora.
27:19That Himalayan crocodile bag you picked earlier.
27:25Think you could help me get one too?
27:27Get what?
27:28This family just survived a crisis.
27:31Instead of thinking about stabilizing the company, you're thinking about handbags?
27:36Whitmore Group had survived, and the family had just discovered how little they truly knew about Nora.
27:42For Evelyn, who had always put the family first, that was more than enough.
27:54Evelyn's worked hard for this family.
27:56It's just one bag.
28:01My Beverly Hills VIP associate says a new shipment of rare-skinned Birkins is coming in next month.
28:06I'll have one sent straight to Evelyn's room.
28:14The woman who ruled Wall Street boardrooms looked like a kid on Christmas morning.
28:20Nora.
28:22I've had my eye on a diamond hardware Birkin.
28:25I laughed.
28:27No matter how successful a woman was, or how pretty and useless everyone thought she was, designer bags could still
28:35get her excited.
28:37You'll both get one.
28:39They come from our own supply chain anyway.
28:41The tension in the living room finally eased.
28:44Bennett and the staff cleared away the mess.
28:46A new Persian rug replaced with the old one.
28:49The showdown from minutes ago already felt unreal.
28:57Boss Nora.
28:59So does that mean you're keeping me now?
29:01Depends how you behave.
29:03If you ever say no to raising my black card limit again, I'll find someone else to pay for my
29:08bags.
29:10Done.
29:11Right now.
29:12Unlimited.
29:13Boss gets whatever she wants.
29:20The money's in.
29:23Every dollar Starlight Capital took is back.
29:25Richard also transferred the money from Starlight Capital's liquidation straight into Whitmore Group's account.
29:33The Whitmers are back on solid ground.
29:37Nora, this family owes you more than we could ever repay.
29:40I looked at the stubborn old man who had protected me when it mattered most.
29:45Charles, we're family.
29:47When Adrian demanded controlling interest, you didn't use me as a bargaining chef.
29:51You wanted Julian to make sure I could walk away with something.
29:57For that alone, I'll protect this family.
30:00No matter what.
30:04Sunlight poured through the windows.
30:05The last shadow in the living room was gone.
30:10What do you want for dinner?
30:11I'll have the kitchen make it.
30:16It's been a long morning.
30:18I'm tired.
30:19Have the chef send Lobster Beast up to my room.
30:23Whatever boss Nora wants.
30:27The living room stayed quiet after Julian spoke.
30:30Charles looked around the room.
30:31The new rug.
30:32The files spread across the coffee table.
30:35The faces of the people who had nearly lost everything.
30:38Starting tomorrow, you take over the company.
30:44Dad.
30:45You heard Nora.
30:46You're ready.
30:48Evelyn and Sloane exchanged a look.
30:51Neither argued.
30:54Don't look at me.
30:55You're the one taking over.
31:00You're the reason I'm ready.
31:05Evelyn.
31:06Sloane.
31:06You'll work with Julian.
31:09Of course.
31:10We'll get Whitmore Group back on its feet.
31:12It's back on its feet.
31:16It's back on its feet.
31:19Now make sure it stays that way.
31:21For the first time that day, Charles laughed.
31:24And the sound made the whole room feel like home again.
31:27You have a good head on your shoulders, Nora.
31:29I know.
31:32Boss Nora has spoken.
31:37Evelyn still held the ownership certificates.
31:40Her eyes kept dropping to my name.
31:42Then back to me.
31:4480 billion dollars.
31:45And that's only three mines?
31:47They're not a big deal.
31:52Not a big deal?
31:53They're just part of my portfolio.
31:57Nora, what exactly do you do all day in Beverly Hills?
32:01I shop.
32:05I'm serious.
32:08When I like a brand, I look into where the materials come from,
32:12who controls the supply chain,
32:14and who owns the companies behind it.
32:19You buy controlling stakes in the companies behind the brands.
32:22Sometimes.
32:24Sometimes?
32:25If I really like the bags.
32:28That explains a lot.
32:30It should.
32:34You thought I was wasting money.
32:36We did.
32:38I was spending money.
32:40Just not the way you thought.
32:44Bennett returned after escorting the security team out.
32:47The estate had finally gone quiet.
32:49Charles looked exhausted again,
32:51but no longer defeated.
32:53Julian, help Charles upstairs.
32:57I can walk.
32:58I know.
33:00But let him help anyway.
33:05You really are family.
33:06I've been saying that.
33:13Nora.
33:15Nora.
33:15Evelyn looked uncomfortable.
33:17Under any other circumstances, I might have laughed.
33:20I owe you an apology.
33:22You don't?
33:23I do.
33:27I thought you were careless.
33:30Selfish.
33:32I thought all you cared about was what Julian could buy you.
33:39To be fair, I do like what Julian buys me.
33:42Glad we cleared that up.
33:46Still, I was wrong about you.
33:48You were.
33:54But when things fell apart, you still tried to protect me.
33:59That means more to me than anything else.
34:03The next morning, Whitmore Group's crisis was no longer dominating the headlines.
34:11The funds are back.
34:15All of them?
34:17Every dollar Starlight Capital took is back.
34:20Richard transferred the liquidation proceeds into Whitmield Group's accounts, too.
34:26We're stable.
34:30We're stable.
34:30More than stable.
34:35We can restart the overseas acquisitions and push back against everyone who tried to take advantage of us.
34:41Good.
34:59Later that afternoon, Evelyn found me on the sofa with my tablet.
35:03Sloane stood beside her.
35:04A Himalayan crocodile, Birkin, filled the screen.
35:08Nora, is that for me?
35:10Maybe.
35:11A diamond hardware Birkin appeared.
35:14And this one's for Sloane.
35:16Sloane stared at it.
35:18You remembered?
35:19You said you wanted one.
35:21For once.
35:22Neither of them knew what to say.
35:26Nora, you really didn't have to...
35:29I know.
35:31But they come from our own supply chain.
35:34We might as well enjoy them.
35:37You mean it?
35:39They'll be delivered next month.
35:41Sloane smiled.
35:42I never thought I'd be this excited about a bag.
35:46Give it time.
35:49Thank you, Nora.
35:50Thank you.
35:53You're welcome.
35:55For the first time, the three of us sat together without a crisis hanging over us.
35:58Just three women looking at bags.
36:01And somehow, it felt like family.
36:05That evening, the Whitmore family had dinner together for the first time in weeks.
36:10No files.
36:11No emergency calls.
36:12No calls from creditors.
36:13Just family.
36:15The dining room glowed beneath the chandelier.
36:17For once, no one was watching a phone or waiting for bad news.
36:21Charles sat at the head of the table.
36:23Julian sat beside me.
36:25His hand wrapped around mine beneath the table.
36:27Evelyn and Sloane were still talking about bags.
36:30I can't believe this is what you're all discussing after we nearly lost the company.
36:35We didn't lose it.
36:38And bags are important.
36:40Very important.
36:42Of course you agree.
36:43I'm a supportive husband.
36:46To Nora.
36:49The woman we all got wrong.
36:53And the woman who saved us anyway.
36:57To family.
36:58I looked around the table.
36:59People who had judged me.
37:01People who had protected me when they thought I had nothing to offer.
37:05People who had tried to keep me safe when they believed everything else was lost.
37:09To family.
37:11Our glasses touched.
37:13And for once, no one looked at me like I didn't belong.
37:20That night, Julian walked me back to our room.
37:23The estate was quiet.
37:24The kind of quiet that came after a storm had finally passed.
37:28So.
37:28So?
37:29Are you really keeping me?
37:31That depends.
37:33On what?
37:34Your performance.
37:36I raised your black card limit.
37:38Good start.
37:39I protected you from Adrian.
37:40Also good.
37:47But I got one thing wrong.
37:49I thought you needed me to protect you from everything.
37:52I don't?
37:53You do.
37:56Just not because you're weak.
37:59Because you're precious to me.
38:02Careful.
38:03That almost sounded romantic.
38:05It was romantic.
38:11Then my tablet chimed.
38:14A message from my VIP associate lit up the screen.
38:17Your Himalayan crocodile Birkin is secured.
38:20Another bag?
38:22Not just another bag.
38:25A celebration bag.
38:27Whatever boss Nora wants.
38:30And this time, everyone in the Whitmore family knew exactly who was calling the shot.
