I'm sitting on a billion dollars. I couldn't spend it in 10 lives.
>> So why get married? Why date? Find some guy to blow through my money. I'd rather give it away.
>> Seems that way.
>> Nice try, Dad.
>> No date, no money, not a dime.
>> Dad. Dad. Dad. You can't do this to me, Dad.
>> Listen to me, Chloe. You don't get married, I will. I'll bring home a stepmom with kids of her own, and you can kiss those billions goodbye.
>> Fine, it's just a date.
>> It's just a marriage. For my billions, I'll do it. Dad wasn't lying. This guy is top shelf.
>> Hi, I'm Chloe, your blind date.
>> You don't exactly look like your photo.
>> I'm not catfishing you. You think I'd photoshop myself skinny just for a date?
>> It's just an old photo. Basically the same vibe. That's a completely different person. I don't like wasting time, so let's cut to the chase. If you're in, come down to City Hall with me this afternoon.
>> How does a face that gorgeous say something that sleazy?
>> If you're not interested, forget it.
>> Hey, wait, hold up. I mean, isn't this moving a little too fast?
>> A fake marriage doesn't require getting to know each other.
>> What kind of jackpot is this? My date is getting forced into this, too. A fake marriage. Amazing. Perfect. This is too good.
>> Take a look. Anything you don't like, tell me and I'll have it changed. [snorts]
>> After marriage, the party shall maintain separate lives and separate finances. Preston shall cover all marital expenses. One fake marriage and I keep my whole inheritance plus an easy 200 million. Jackpot. Where did dad even find this angel? The terms look great. Just one question. Why 2 years?
>> Anything shorter isn't convincing. And once it's over, finding a new partner is a hassle. In 2 years, if you want to stay married, we renew. If not, we're done. [singing]
>> The contract's great. Super fair. But the way you talk, you're never getting married for real.
>> That's my private business. See article one.
>> Okay. Message received. Loud and clear.
>> My lawyer's already had a judge signing the waiver. We can do it this afternoon. Call me tomorrow. I'll pick you up.
>> You'll be staying at my place for a while.
>> Sure. Sounds like a plan. [singing]
>> Mama's coming for you. Money.
>> Hey, Dad.
>> Sweetheart, my friend's son had an emergency and couldn't make it.
>> He never showed. Then who the hell did I just marry?
>> You promised to meet Mr. Hansen's daughter today. She waited 2 hours and you never showed up.
>> My time is valuable, especially when it comes to dates. She was late. That told me she wasn't serious. So, I found someone else.
>> What?
>> I got married.
>> Preston, how dare you? Two years back from overseas, he built Sinclair into a global empire. The business legend marries a nobody just to get out from under his mother, passing on every social in the city. What kind of magic is that?
>> Sir, should I run a background check on Miss Sterling? No need. If you're that bored, make up a story about how we met and send it to her.
>> Yes, sir. Who is this guy? You married him without knowing a thing about him? What if he's a con man? What if he's using you?
>> No way. I wore this exact outfit to meet him. Head to toe, it costs less than 70 bucks. What's he going to get out of me? I'm not pretty and I'm not rich.
>> Did you fake this marriage just to fool me?
>> Look at this face. Look at those shoulders, that waist, those legs. Custom suit, limited edition watch. Could a con man afford that? Rich, gorgeous, and class. Marrying him is a steal.
>> So, what does he see in you? You sure your weight doesn't bother him?
>> Dad, are you seriously calling me fat?
>> My daughter is not fat. My daughter is prettier than Marilyn Monroe. Not 1 ounce of fat.
>> You're not fat. You've actually lost some weight lately.
>> Handsome, rich, elegant, classy, great taste. Dad, this is exactly my type. [gasps]
>> Fine. It's not every day you actually like a guy, so I'll take him as my son-in-law. But just in case, keep your real identity quiet. Once he passes probation, I'll throw you a huge wedding.
>> Skip the wedding.
>> When do I get the money you promised me?
>> On your first wedding anniversary, I'll give you every penny.
>> But I already gave the driver our home address.
>> It's just an address. Who says living there makes you the owner? H
>> You're a sly old fox, Dad. Arthur, look into this man. He looks familiar. I feel like I've seen him somewhere before.
>> Yes, sir.
>> Chloe lives here. The Upper East Side where New York's billionaires live. Could she be the Sterling Aerys?
>> Hubby, you're here. Let me introduce you. This is my dad,
>> Mr. Sterling. It's good to finally meet you. So, you're the husband?
>> I'm the Sterling family butler. I mean, I'm the butler's brother. Yeah, that's it. We are just a happy, broke little family. [laughter]
>> Of course, Preston, she's my only daughter. You married her, so treat her right.
>> Play with her heart if you must, but do not touch her money. Dad, what are you talking about? It's not like our family has any money to steal.
>> Sir, you have my word. I won't play with her heart, and I won't touch her money. As long as she's my wife, I'll protect her. No one will ever hurt her.
>> Wow, he's good. I almost bought it. If dad weren't standing right here, I'd give him a thumbs up.
>> Let's go home.
>> Oh, my baby girl.
>> Sweetheart, come home whenever you can. If anyone gives you trouble, call Dad. I'll have your back. Bye. She's finally out of the house. 20 years single and my baby girl is finally married. Someone actually took her off my hands. I can finally sleep at night.
>> Sir, aren't you worried she'll get picked on?
>> Pick on her? My girl's a handful and her mouth is worse and she can throw a punch. Mrs. Sinclair, you have no idea what's coming.
>> Fair point. They're grown up now. It's time for them to live their own lives. Here's my background and our love story. Memorize it.
>> You're the CEO of Sinclair Global, and you fell in love with me at first sight. Obsessed with me?
>> Uh, my mother is controlling, stubborn, and suspicious. She won't believe or approve of this marriage. Just play along and get her to accept it.
>> I'll play along, but I won't let her walk all over me.
>> Don't worry. I'll cover whatever you need. Get her to accept our marriage within 10 days, and I'll give you another 100 million.
>> Deal. We'll get along just fine. Don't worry. I'll charm your mother into accepting me.
>> A guy like you could have any woman you wanted. So, why me?
>> Because you're fat and ugly. Exactly what I want.
>> I'm a little chubby. I am not ugly. Your eyesight is bad and your people skills are worse. No wonder a face like that still needs blind dates. That mouth of yours scares off every pretty girl who likes you.
>> And you? Why did you agree to marry me?
>> My looks.
>> Okay, you're kind of hot. I'll give you that. But my heart is stone. Totally immune.
>> Sweetheart, you left your books at home. 36 ways to win over your billionaire husband. 72 tricks to tame the ice cold CEO. How to make your billionaire husband obsessed with you. Want me to have someone bring these rare additions over?
>> Anyway, we're married now. You have your reasons. I have mine. This is a business deal. As long as we both play our parts, nothing else matters. Your brother definitely hired some woman to fake a marriage and trick me. Play along when they get in. I'm exposing that little liar today.
>> Mom, this is my wife, Chloe. Chloe, this is my mother and my sister.
>> Hi, Eleanor. Hi, Harper. Just call me Chloe.
>> You where did you dig up this fat girl?
>> Hubby, your mother is terrifying. I don't think she likes me. I feel like I'm going to faint.
>> Mom, she is my wife. Show some respect.
>> Preston, even if you hired someone to play your wife, you could have at least found someone presentable. What kind of act is this?
>> What act? Preston says I might be a little chubby, but I'm beautiful. This round little face is adorable, and I'm great to cuddle. I'm totally Preston's type. He says we're a perfect match. Apparently, every inch of me is exactly what he's been looking for. [laughter]
>> God, this girl's got some strength.
>> Wait, so my brother was the one who pursued you? Yeah, of course. No, wait. I was the one chasing him three years ago. I fell for him at first sight and I was done for. I waited outside Sinclair Global every single day. But your brother, an iceberg, impossible to get near. And then and then obviously I wore him down. I was crazy about him. Three years of chasing, getting rejected, refusing to quit, and finally he fell for me.
He kept us a secret because he was worried you'd never approve. Lucky me. Preston says I'm exactly his type. He says pretty girls are everywhere, but a woman with personality priceless. Even at 200.
>> Oh, I'm not buying any of this.
>> Mom, just make them kiss. Then we'll know if they're the real deal. Fine.
>> Kiss her right here in front of me and I'll believe it. Go on. Kiss. [clears throat] It's It's fine. It's just lips touching lips. What's the big deal? They're so cute together. [snorts]
>> [clears throat]
>> All right, Mom. We're heading upstairs.
>> Mom, have you ever seen my brother protect another woman? Come on, they have to be in love. Just let it go.
>> No, absolutely not.
>> Mom, look at her. She's obviously loaded. Why would she need his money?
>> Oh, please. Your brother probably bought her every last thing she's wearing. I still don't see what he sees in her.
>> Obviously, he likes them warm and cuddly. She's adorable. I want to pinch those cheeks.
>> You'd better figure out a way to make her back off. I want her to walk away on her own.
>> Mom, seriously, have you been binge watching soap operas again? You think my sister-in-law is going to go full Emily Thorne and come back for revenge? Come on, Mom. A little extra weight is good for having babies. Just wait till those grandb babies start coming.
>> Call your father now. If he doesn't get back to New York soon, we're going to lose control of the Stinklair family. Your mom is a total ice queen. This house is suffocating. No wonder you're a block of ice. It's genetic. [gasps] It was an accident. I swear I didn't mean to. Don't be mad. Okay,
>> I'm not mad. But why didn't you use the story I wrote for you?
>> Because your story had a problem. You fell for me at first sight and chased me. Look at us. Who would believe that?
>> First, I'm not shallow. Second, if I actually like someone, I don't care what she looks like.
>> Yeah, but your mom's never buying that.
>> Of course, she'll believe it because I
>> Whatever. It doesn't matter. She bought it anyway.
>> It's nothing. Just that moment back there. It was special to me.
>> Special?
>> Nothing. Get some rest. I'm heading to the office. I'll be back tonight.
>> Who knew Mr. Ice Cold CEO was this easy to fluster? [sighs and gasps]
>> Dig into Khloe's background. Didn't you say you weren't interested? That Miss Sterling was nobody important. We talked too much. Yes, sir. Eleanor, it's noon. Are we seriously not having lunch yet? I'm starving over here. The Sinclair family is not an ordinary family. Being a Sinclair woman takes more than beauty and a good family name. You need to know our rules and know how to conduct yourself.
>> Family rules. Oh, I've always wanted to see these crazy old money rules up close. Come on, give me your worst. Frankly, I don't like you and I never approved of this marriage. But you're already married, so there's nothing left to say. All I ask is that you behave like a proper Sinclair daughter-in-law. Eleanor, are you going full Dolores Umbra on me? New rules every day, then finding ways to punish me? What are you even talking about?
No. Good. Good. So, there's still no lunch. Am I supposed to cook and clean now? An empire the size of Sinclair can definitely afford people for that. What are you waiting for? Go get lunch ready. Eleanor, you're the best. Love you. Don't think buttering me up is going to change my opinion of you. Tell me, did you marry past for his money? How'd you guess? What? Single life isn't great. Magic Mike isn't tempting. Sure they are. Money's better. I knew it. But I'm not after his money. I'm after my own.
>> Your own money? Please. What money could you possibly have? Maybe just a teeny tiny bit more. More than your son?
>> More than my son? What are you? The Sterling Aerys. [gasps and sighs] How did you know? The big three in New York. He Group, Sterling Enterprises, and Sinclair Global. If you're really the Sterling Aerys, then I must be the secret owner of Heisen Group. Sir, this is Hasten Group's first half financial report. Sir, this is Hasten Group's first half financial report. The background check on Miss Sterling hit a small snag. On paper, she's listed as the daughter of the Sterling's butler, but beyond that, there's nothing.
If she's an ordinary girl, why is there no record of her? The Sterling's Butler and Sterling Enterprises is Hast's biggest supplier. You built Hast Group from the ground up overseas. Only a few top executives know you're the real owner. The Butler connection is probably just a coincidence.
>> All right, understood. You can go. Why did you agree to marry me so easily? What are you really after? Is this really a coincidence or was it planned?
>> Huddy, your mother dragged me out shopping and I didn't bring a dime. I can't buy anything. Maybe send your wife a little money.
>> What? Do you think my son is your personal ATM? Being broke doesn't give you the right to make demands.
>> I'm his wife. What's wrong with spending his money?
>> Preston, are you hearing this?
>> She just admitted she married you for your money.
>> Huie, I'd still marry you if you didn't have a dime. [gasps]
>> Oh, you little sweet Tucker.
>> Eleanor, come over here. Uh, Eleanor, done talking to Preston. H, guess I'll keep him company a little longer. I'll come find you later. Your mom is ruthless. One plan fails and she's already got another one. She only took me shopping to put me in my place.
>> I'll cover all your expenses from now on. I'll transfer the money tonight.
>> Honestly, your mom's kind of cute. She's losing her mind while pretending to be all classy. It's hilarious.
>> Can you speak normally, please?
>> Fine.
>> Two drama queens in one day, I'm doomed.
>> Miss Sterling, welcome back.
>> Dad's money just doesn't hit like money I earned myself. This fake husband's actually pretty great. Maybe I'll renew him in 2 years. Miss Sterling, you should have let us know you were coming. We would have cleared the store for you. Shh. Just look at her. [snorts] If you can get her to divorce my son, I'll owe you both. I'll make it worth your while. Don't worry. I'll have her wishing she could crawl under a rock.
Exactly. A few words from us and she'll be begging to leave. Chloe, this is Margaret. This is Victoria. Close friends of mine. Ladies, meet my daughter-in-law, Chloe. Eleanor, your son is such a catch. How did he end up with a woman like this? If she were my daughter-in-law, I'd be too embarrassed to take her out in public. Tell me about it. I offered to introduce my daughter to your son back then, and you turned me down. Look at the girl he ended up with. She doesn't hold a candle to mine. What can I say? Preston likes her. Eleanor, these are your good friends. If they'll say that to your face, imagine what they say behind your back. You can do better than friends like these. Let's just cut them off.
Where are your manners? We are your elders. How dare you talk to us like that? The nerve. Exactly, Elellanar. You need to discipline this girl or she'll be walking all over you before you know it. Relax. I don't need to walk all over anyone. But if you're so obsessed with everyone else's business, maybe clean up your own mess first. Aw, already mad. I thought you had thicker skin than that. Are you just going to let her talk to us like this? That's enough.
>> What is wrong with me? Why does it feel good watching her tear into them? I guess they never were real friends. Chloe, dear, pick whatever you like. I'll buy it for you.
>> Thanks, El. Thanks, Eleanor. I knew you love me best. Would you like to try this on? Yes. How about this bracelet?
>> Her wrists are too thick. A bracelet won't look good on her.
>> Then how about this necklace? She doesn't have the presence to pull off something this elegant. Not at all. This lady has real elegance and class. That necklace is perfect for her. I actually really love it, but I I just
>> Then never mind. Maybe pick something a little more affordable.
>> Who says I can't afford it? If I wanted to, I could buy this whole damn store.
>> Yes.
>> Eleanor, you are amazing. Thank you for the gift. [snorts]
>> Are you done? Go ahead and shop on your own.
>> But I'm broke. I don't have any money. Broke but acting bougie. Tell me about it. Enough.
>> Thanks, Eleanor. Preston and I will take such good care of you. Don't worry. We'll fill this house with grandkids before you know it. One after another, you won't know what hit you, miss. Shall I wrap up the necklace for you? Wrap it up. That one, that one, and that one. Put it all on my mother-in-law's card. Where did you dig up that freak? I HAVE HAD IT. You divorce her tomorrow or you can forget about my shares in Sinclair Global.
>> Keep them.
>> I am your mother. I am doing this for your own good. You're supposed to be studying, not wasting time out here.
>> Take the cat away.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Playtime will ruin you. Go in there and think about what you've done. I'm doing this for your own good. I married a wife, not someone you can order around, and definitely not a puppet who does what she's told. Are you trying to piss me off on purpose?
>> I'm just reminding you not to push it too far.
>> Marriage is a big deal and you went and married a complete stranger. So tell me, who's pushing it too far?
>> I have a meeting this afternoon. You should go.
>> Preston. [sighs] She actually spent my money on all this. I am furious. I brought those two friends in to scare her off and it completely backfired. Now I've blown all that money for nothing. No, no. I need backup. I am going to tear them apart. Chloe, mom said you went shopping today. Did you get anything good? She bought me a necklace and gave me a card. Told me to go nuts with it. Mom, that's so unfair. You never gave me a card to swipe like that. Not once. My whole life. Chloe's broke. Are you broke, too?
>> Yep. I'm broke. Like super broke. Elanor, throw all the good stuff at me. Bury me in money.
>> Stop laughing. Just look at her acting like she's never seen a dollar bill in her life.
>> What's wrong with loving money? Besides, I'm rich. Being rich is something I earned.
>> Money is just an accessory. You're the real prize. Who do you even take after? How did I raise such a lovesick idiot? Dad, obviously, if you weren't such a hopeless romantic, he'd have divorced you years ago. Eleanor, try this. I picked it up from that place downtown. It's so good. Not bad. By the way, when are you two having the wedding? Why are you ashamed to have her meet the family? If that's the case, we'll cancel it.
>> We already discussed it. We're having the wedding next year.
>> Why wait a whole year? If you two really love each other, why not have the wedding sooner? We're family. Unless this marriage is fake. Eleanor, I want to lose weight. Give me a year and I'll walk down that aisle as Preston's most beautiful bride.
>> Aren't you only a little curvy? You need a whole year for that.
>> Elanor, you don't get it. The last few pounds are the hardest. That's your idea of a few pounds. No wonder you can't lose them. Starting tomorrow, you're on my diet. Give me 2 months. You'll be slim.
>> Bro, are you shocked? Mom went from get out of my house to when's the wedding in 2 seconds.
>> Are they always like this?
>> Yeah. Chloe's a total badass and mom's just mom. She's trying to break you two up while basically playing Cupid.
>> Cupid?
>> Duh. She had your couch hauled out, so you two have to share a bed. If that's not Cupid, what is? She's terrified you're not making progress.
>> How can you eat this much beef at night? No wonder you can't lose weight.
>> Come on, Eleanor. Just one last bite. I swear tomorrow I'm a whole new woman.
>> No. Losing weight means self-control. From now on, no more late night feasts. Why didn't you back me up? And why is your mom suddenly so invested in my diet? If
>> you don't want a diet, just eat behind her back.
>> Wait, wasn't there a couch right here this afternoon and a lounge chair next to it?
>> My mother had them hauled out. She still doesn't believe this marriage is real. She didn't want either of us sleeping on a couch.
>> Then tonight, we have to share a bed. I've never shared a bed with anyone. I won't be able to sleep. Forget the bed. Shouldn't you be worried about what I might do to you? We're alone now. Just you and me.
>> Didn't you say I was fat and ugly? That you'd feel nothing even if I stood naked in front of you?
>> Sorry, I was talking nonsense. You're not fat and you're not ugly. You're a good person. And never trust a man you've known for a few days.
>> It's the trend these days. Men have to learn to protect themselves,
>> right? 36 ways to win over your billionaire husband. 72 tricks to tame the ice cold CEO. How to make your billionaire husband obsessed with you.
>> Those are guides. No, novels. They're novels, not guides. Besides, I'm not even into men.
>> You're into women?
>> What? When did I say I was into women? I'm only into money.
>> I'm not like you.
>> What do you mean you're not like me? Wait, you think I'm gay? Oh, I get it. Men and women are for making babies, but two men, that's true love. Got it. Totally got it. Sorry to disappoint you, but your husband is straight. No pin in, no limit. Swipe it however you want. [sighs and gasps] I only asked you for money today so your mom would buy that this marriage is real. And don't worry, I'm not taking any of it with me when we divorce. I know, but like I said, anything involving my family is on me.
>> God, he's so hot. Especially when he's giving me money. Not a peep. Is the soundproofing that good or is something wrong with those two? Mom, what are you doing? Nothing. Go back to your room. Good morning, Chloe. Morning. Good morning. Girl, you won't believe this. Mom was outside your bedroom last night listening at the door. Look at the time. Sleeping in this late and eating all day. You're getting way too lazy. Blame your son. He kept me tossing and turning all night. Oh, mom, you should really talk to him. Young men need to learn some self-control.
That's my boy. I've been at Preston's place for days now. I wonder how dad's doing. Does he miss me?
>> Hey, Arthur. Where's my dad? Miss Khloe, someone is digging into your background. To hide his identity, your father has opened a fruit stand.
>> What?
>> Who's digging into me? Someone from Preston's family? Come on, let's go inside. Why is she here again? Who is she? Daughter of my parents' friends. My brother was sent abroad at 10 and lived with her family for years. They took good care of him. She has no brother of her own, so she keeps trying to claim mine. Oh, and she's in love with him. Meet your competition. So, this is the backup my mother-in-law called in. This should be fun.
Preston moved into my house when he was 10. We grew up side by side for over a decade, childhood sweethearts. When he moved back three years ago, he would have taken me with him if I hadn't still been in school. What a coincidence. When Preston came back three years ago, he fell for me at first sight. He moved all his overseas assets back here just to be with me. 3 years of relentless pursuit, and that's what finally won me over. I said, "Yes." Didn't you say you were the one chasing Prey? Does it matter? What matters is that you and Preston are not a match. Don't get ahead of yourself. I haven't approved of you two. Preston can divorce you anytime he wants. We don't need your approval. Throw him out. Take the CEO title. Let him never work another day in his life. I can still support him for the rest of his life.
Big talk. You don't even have a job. You can barely feed yourself and you're spending my son's money and you're going to support him.
>> Is it true that you're going to support me, sweetheart?
>> Darling, you're back. Did you miss me? I'm Vivian. What's wrong with a little hug?
>> I'm a married man. I keep my distance. Since I don't hug other women.
>> What do you mean other women? I'm the woman you're supposed to marry and divorce this hideous freak already. She doesn't deserve you. I'm fat and I love it. I'm fat and I love it.
>> You're too skinny? That's exactly what I don't like about you.
>> So, I'm too skinny. Fine, I'll gain weight.
>> Gain all the weight you want. You still won't look good. I'd like you even less.
>> Preston. Preston. Preston. Do you ever stop? Can't you breathe without him? Preston, look at her. Where's Preston? Where's Preston? What? You can't even walk without him.
>> That is enough. You've crossed the line. Vivian, try this. I had the kitchen make this lobster bis just for you. Thank you. I knew you love me best. Eating a diet meal. Are we Chloe? Just salad? Eleanor had this lobster bis made specially for me. It's amazing. Want a taste? Sure. Thanks. I was just being polite and you actually drank it all. How was I supposed to know? I thought you actually meant it.
>> You drank it all? What am I supposed to drink now? Here, consider us even.
>> Eat up. Need energy to lose weight.
>> I want some, too.
>> Keep quiet at the dining table. It's basic etiquette. If you don't want to eat, leave.
>> It's okay, Vivien. Our family doesn't have that rule. The Sinclair's don't have that rule, but the Sterings do.
>> Preston, my dad told you about them, right?
>> Yeah, he did.
>> What did he say? He said the Sterings have three rules. One, every Sterling man or woman must respect themselves. Two, never interfere in someone else's marriage. Three, break those rules and the family disounds you.
>> Chloe, are you talking about me? Just you wait. Sooner or later, I'm taking Preston from you.
>> What are you doing? Not sleeping in the middle of the night and scaring people here. What are you doing in Preston's house in the middle of the night?
>> What do married couples usually do? Dates, hugs, kisses, plus a few secrets that stay between husband and wife.
>> I want to compete with you on fair terms. Bring it on.
>> What exactly are you drinking? What did you give her?
>> I didn't give her anything. She grabbed the wrong glass herself. It's high proof liquor. How was I supposed to know one glass would knock her out?
>> Hold this.
>> You absolutely did that on purpose.
>> What the hell did I do last night? Tell me, what exactly did you do last night?
>> I was drunk. I thought your lips were cake. You know I love cake.
>> Which means you like me.
>> That's not how it works. Wait, didn't you seduce me? I'm not usually like this.
>> Hello? I went out for fruit today. Funny thing. I ended up at your father's fruit stand.
>> What do you want?
>> Leave, Preston. Or one word from me shuts your father's stand down. And he never makes another dime. Do your worst.
>> Is she even human? Mary's into wealth and completely abandons her own father. Are you absolutely sure this is Khloe's family fruit stand?
>> Chloe single parent home. No connections. Her father runs a fruit stand. Barely scraping by. This is the right place.
>> I knew Khloe was no good. Mary's a billionaire and abandons her own father. She'll never deserve Preston. You'd throw away your own father for a man? You're that cold? Aren't you afraid he'll end up on the street?
>> None of your business. Stop calling me.
>> Aren't you afraid your dad shows up at Preston's and makes a scene? The Sinclair's will look down on you and you'll drag them down with you.
>> Excuse me, sir. H.
>> You're Khloe's father?
>> Yes. You know my Chloe?
>> She married into a billionaire family. Did you know that?
>> I had no idea. We were never close when she was growing up. I worked all the time to put food on the table. And I know I owe her for that. But getting married, she didn't say a word. Now she's in a mansion living the good life. And her own father doesn't exist. How could she do that?
>> Exactly. big house, luxury cars, the best of everything. And after everything you sacrificed,
>> she doesn't care about you at all, sir. You need to show everyone who she really is. I busted my ass raising her, and she couldn't even tell me she was getting married. After everything I've done for her, this is how she treats me.
>> No, I'm going to confront her right now.
>> Go now, and she'll just put her guard up. We need the right moment. Make her see what she owes you and she'll start acting like a daughter.
>> All right. Tell me what to do. I'm listening.
>> I told you to investigate Preston. What did you find?
>> I've got it. Sorry it took a while. This Preston isn't like the others. Preston left for school in England at 8 and came back 5 years ago to take over Sinclair Global. 28 years. Not one scandal. Not even a female friend.
>> Wait, is he a gay?
>> No men either. Squeaky clean. Aside from being a virgin, he's just like you, sir. And we found out he's the man behind Heisen Group. Chloe may have hit the jackpot. That's my girl. Picks a random guy and ends up bagging the best man in all of New York. Which worries me more? A man like Preston could have anyone. Why marry Kloe the day they met?
>> Sir, you think he married Chloe for another reason?
>> I don't give a damn about his motives. If he dares to break my daughter's heart, I will crush him, even if it costs the entire Sterling Empire.
>> Is it possible their marriage is fake? No, surely not. I'll just have to watch them closely. Preston. Oh, Preston, don't disappoint me. Preston, take this seat. Chloe, tell my brother to take it easy. Don't tell me you two were at it all night. Yep. Exactly what you're thinking. Yep. Exactly what you're thinking.
>> Bro, you're an absolute beast.
>> You talk too much. Why isn't mom down for breakfast?
>> Mom already ate. She went back to her room to catch up on sleep. Oh, honey. You work hard all day and wear yourself out at night. You need to recharge.
>> You've worked hard, too. Here, have a fry.
>> Aw, thanks, hubby. That's so good. So sweet. [snorts]
>> Sweet. Give me a break. They're fake. It's all an act. How is that fake? Look at those two. They're obviously crazy about each other. Exactly. That's how new couples act. Real married couples don't stay glued to each other like that. A what a shame. Your brother finally caught on. He's like a boy in his first relationship. Glued to his wife. Never wants to be apart. [cough] We all know you're amazing. Easy, hubby.
>> Just you wait. You'll be sorry when your dad gets here. I'm done eating. I'm going back to my room. We have guests.
>> Chloe, brace yourself. Your broke nobody father is here.
>> Dad
>> Sensson, what brings you here?
>> I've missed you so much, Chloe. It's only been a few days and you already look so much thinner. Is he Dr. Boy looking down on you because we're not rich? Is he making things hard for you?
>> Are they not even feeding you properly?
>> Absolutely not. How could we ever mistreat her? Chloe wanted to get in shape herself. We even had the kitchen put together healthy meals for her. Ask her yourself. It's true.
>> Then why'd you suddenly want to lose weight?
>> Did Preston make you feel bad about your looks? Never.
>> It's all me. I just want to look my best. I want to be the most beautiful bride on our wedding day.
>> Yes. Yes. Exactly. I'm not one of those awful mothers-in-law. Wait, why does he look so familiar?
>> Exactly, Dad. She's been so good to me. Marrying someone from this kind of background brings absolutely zero value to the Sinclair family. As long as I'm here, the Sinclair family doesn't need a marriage of convenience to prove anything.
>> But you can't just marry someone who is completely useless to the family.
>> Richard, I'm so sorry. We should have called on you sooner. Preston's father is out of New York, and I wanted us to come together. That's the only reason we waited. [snorts] Can't you see? He showed up empty-handed. Isn't that obvious enough? He has no respect for you at all. Wait, are you the CEO of Sterling Enterprises?
