Transcript of [FULL] His Deadbeat Father Stole a $10 Billion Trust—Then the Son Shorted His Empire!

The Vances thought that once they threw mom and me out, we'd come crawling back like stray dogs. Short the last of Vance Group's retail flood. Cut off their cash flow. But they forgot that real power and status aren't handed out by families or men. You take them for yourself.

>> Miss Khloe, the stock has broken through the floor. We've taken control of Vance Group's core 10 billion trust.

>> Arthur, Evelyn, and Lily spent years trying to crush us and drive us out of New York. But mom never bowed. She raised me through it all and made me Wall Street's sharpest weapon. Today, I finally won everything back for her. Mom, we won. Arthur's trust is finally ours.

>> Chloe.

>> Chloe. Your fever finally broke. Don't be afraid. Mommy's here.

>> Mommy,

>> I've been reborn. I'm back in the year I was six when I had that terrible fever. Right now, Arthur is still missing in the Swiss Alps.

>> Mommy, I'm not scared anymore. Every bad person who tries to take what's ours will pay. Evelyn, Lily, and that selfish bastard, Arthur. This time I'm back with all my skills as a top Wall Street trader and hacker. I'll crush your high society dreams with my own hands, piece by piece. Mrs. Vance just returned from the Metropolitan Club. After Arthur vanished in the Swiss Alps, the Vances forced us back to the Upper East Side. They needed a direct blood heir to keep the trust. In my last life, mom refused to live in a gilded cage or flatter anyone. So, the whole estate treated us like outsiders.

This time, before Arthur brings that mother and daughter back to steal the trust, I need to win over the strongest person in the Vance family.

>> Mommy, take a break. I want your French crepes.

>> All right. If we're staying here for now, we might as well find something to do. Let's go to the kitchen.

>> Grandma,

>> that commoner and her daughter were only brought back for the trust. They usually avoid me. Why are they coming to me today?

>> Grandma, I brought you French crepes.

>> Miss Chloe, Mrs. Vance only eats pastries made by a Michelin three star chef. Food like this doesn't meet the estate standards. Please take it away. You speak French and you can restore an old recipe?

>> Yes. Mommy taught me. She made the crepe batter and I cooked the caramel orange sauce myself using the exact proportions. In my last life, Eleanor cared deeply about class. But when Arthur threw us out, she alone gave us money from the trust because I was a Vance. She isn't unfair. She just puts the family first.

>> Grandma, don't be angry. Anger isn't elegant.

>> All right, Grandma won't be angry. Chloe's crepes are the best afternoon tea I've ever had.

>> If you like them, mommy and I will make them for you every day.

>> The Vance descendants only care about this fortune. None of them has ever truly cared about me except Arthur and now his daughter. Arthur will soon return to New York with those two. In my last life, mom took me away from the estate. Evelyn kept setting traps for her, and Arthur quietly blocked her at every turn. Mom struggled to raise me, and her career suffered, too. I won't let that happen again. Part of the 10 billion trust is ours. Why should those two thieves take it? If they want to fight, I'll take back everything they owe us with interest.

Mom will never suffer again. Before they set foot in this estate, I need Grandma to become our impenetrable shield.

>> Mother, Arthur has been missing in the Swiss Alps for months. The search teams have already pulled out. How long will you keep waiting for a dead man? Shut up.

>> Until they find a body, Arthur remains the heir to the Vance family. Grandma, have some water.

>> Chloe, go. My cold is terrible. I might infect you. Your fever just broke. Stay away. Be a good girl. Go outside.

>> Mommy says that when someone holds you while you're sick, you don't feel as cold and you get better faster. Grandma, I'll hold you so you won't hurt anymore. My sweet child. My sweet child.

>> Grandma, don't be sad. I dreamed about an angel last night. He told me, "Daddy isn't dead."

>> The angel said, "Daddy will come back to the estate in 3 days. He'll come back to us."

>> 3 days. All right. Grandma will wait for him. Oh,

>> Chloe, you're the Vance family's lucky star. Eat more protein. Chloe, what are you thinking about? I was thinking breakfast would be even better if daddy was sitting here with us today.

>> Sarah, there were many misunderstandings between us over your marriage to Arthur. I was prejudiced against you. But when the family is at its most vulnerable, you brought Khloe back to the Vance estate. I owe you my thanks. As for your couture career, I won't use the family name to interfere again. I only hope Kloe can stay by my side in Arthur's place. As long as no one hurts Chloe, I'll stay.

>> Mrs. Van, wonderful news. Mr. Arthur is back.

>> What did you say?

>> He's really back.

>> Grandma, I told you angels don't lie. Daddy was bound to come home.

>> Yes. Everyone else said he would never return, but Chloe alone believed he'd be safe. Chloe, you truly are the Vance family's lucky star.

>> Mhm.

>> Come, Grandma will take you to meet your father. Mother Daddy, is this grandma's estate?

>> Daddy, it's beautiful here. Can I live here forever? In my last life, Lily never called him daddy at the estate until Evelyn used her so-called rescue to force mom into a divorce and claim Arthur. So, why is Lily calling him that? the second she walks in today.

>> Arthur, what is going on?

>> Mother, I was caught in an avalanche in Switzerland and nearly died. Evelyn risked her life to dig me out of the snow. I've spent the past 6 months recovering at her home.

>> Evelyn lost her husband years ago and has raised Lily alone. I've grown very fond of the girl, so I adopted her to repay Evelyn for saving me.

>> Mrs. Vance, Mr. Arthur gives me too much credit. I only did what anyone should have done. No one could have left him to die. I never meant to reach above my station. Arthur simply takes his debt seriously. He insisted on bringing us to New York so Lily and I would never suffer again. Sarah, after our fight, you chose that ridiculous fashion career and left me. I thought you had enough pride to stay away from the Vance estate forever.

What happened? Couldn't make it in Brooklyn. Who's this little girl? Some relatives child?

>> Arthur Vance, you're not just arrogant. You're pathetically blind. Arthur, you stormed off to travel the world and didn't even know your own wife was pregnant.

>> Chloe is your biological daughter, a legitimate direct descendant of the Vance family.

>> My daughter,

>> Chloe, call him daddy. Grandma, he isn't my daddy.

>> Isn't he that girl's daddy? I don't want something that belongs to someone else.

>> Arthur, why are you doing on an outsider while ignoring your own daughter?

>> Mother Evelyn saved my life. Besides, Sarah needs to learn her lesson. A commoner like her should be grateful she ever entered this estate. What's wrong with telling her to give up that silly fashion career, come home, and obey her husband? H not only did she refuse to yield, she spoiled Kloe, too. You saw it yourself. Khloe has none of an old money family's manners. She's pure Brooklyn street trash.

>> Kloe is a direct blood descendant of the Vance family. That can wait until Sarah loses that stubborn pride. The Vance family has no use for a woman who constantly defies her husband.

>> Your father is coming home today. You can explain the family trust to him yourself.

>> Arthur, you're home alive. At least the Vance bloodline won't end. You saved the Vance heir. Our family rewards service and punishes wrongdoing. We will not mistreat our benefactors.

>> Mr. Vance, we only did what we should have.

>> Sarah, give Richard the welcome home wine. That won't be necessary. If I remember correctly, you and Arthur signed a separation agreement before he left for Switzerland a year ago. You were preparing to divorce. Legally, you will soon cease to be a Vance daughter-in-law. You have no right to offer me that glass.

>> Richard, Sarah gave birth to Khloe. She's Khloe's mother.

>> The Vance family's core trust will go only to a true Vance. Outsiders have no right to touch it.

>> So, this is the cruelty of Manhattan's financial elite. With one sentence, he wants to strip mom of her dignity and me of my inheritance, all perfectly legally.

>> Mr. Vance, you misunderstand me. I don't want the Vance family's 10 billion trust. My couture studio earns enough for Kloe and me to live well on our own. I'm only standing here because Khloe carries Vance blood. As her mother, I will protect the inheritance that is legally hers.

>> Sarah, how dare you speak to father like that? You think your shabby little tailoring business is worth showing off in front of the Vance family?

>> Arthur, don't be angry. Sarah is only worried about Chloe. I understand. Please don't fight with her because of me.

>> Save your charity for someone who needs it. Chloe, we're leaving. Lily. Sarah was so defiant and even Richard didn't lose his temper. Can we really get the Vance trust?

>> Mom, when have my predictions ever been wrong? A man like Arthur has an incredibly fragile ego. The prouder and more independent Sarah is, the more he'll hate her. That's true. Your foresight has never failed us.

>> You don't have to do anything. Just keep playing the sweet, obedient partner. Soon, he'll throw them out like trash. Then the Upper East Side will be ours.

>> Chloe, don't be afraid of what Grandpa said yesterday. Grandma will protect you and your mother.

>> Grandma, is Daddy going to marry Aunt Evelyn soon and abandon us?

>> No. Your father is confused because he thinks he owes her his life. Besides, Evelyn knows her place. She signed a legal statement promising not to demand status or any share of the trust until your parents' divorce is final. As long as she behaves, once the gossip dies down, grandma will write her a check and send them away. She signed away any claim to the family name. In my last life, Evelyn bribed the tabloids as soon as she arrived. She pushed mom into a divorce so she could take her place. A woman like her doesn't know how to step back before she strikes. Everything has changed.

>> Eleanor, it's been a long time. It has.

>> Maestro Rossy will attend the art charity gala at the Metropolitan Club this weekend. I hear he plans to choose one private student in New York. Rossy's standing in North America's arts establishment is unshakable. I hear several new tech fortunes on Wall Street have been trying to use the Metropolitan Club's connections to enter old money society. Vance Group kept them down for years. They never dared show themselves.

Now they want to use Roso's influence to pressure our stock price. If those new money families compete fairly, the Vances have nothing to fear. But if they use Roso to wage a media campaign, Vance Group's cash flow may suffer. The Vance family will not hand Roso's coveted student position to anyone else.

>> In my last life, Vance group badly needed the status this event could bring. So Arthur pushed Lily into the spotlight. Evelyn and Lily used the gala to enter Upper East Side society and trample mom. This time you won't get your way.

>> Lily, this endig was left by a Russian Grandmaster. Can you understand it?

>> Mom hired a chess coach for me. I've studied for a year.

>> Really? After only one year, you already see the whole board this clearly. Excellent move. You truly are gifted. You could train to become a professional master.

>> I hear Miss Lily is only 11, yet she has impeccable manners and excels at chess. Mr. Arthur, you're very fortunate.

>> Lily really is exceptional.

>> In my last life, Lily didn't even know the rules of chess at this age. How did she get so smart this time?

>> This can't be a butterfly effect from my rebirth. That season style leaves no escape and reaps of cutthroat ambition. There's only one explanation. Lily was reborn, too. Father, look at the Russian Grandmaster's endgame Lily just solved. She studied for only one year. Yet her ruthless strategic vision is nothing short of genius.

>> The white knight move is clever. She may not carry Vance blood, but at least she has the intelligence expected of an upper east side elite.

>> Thank you, Grandpa. I only want to help Daddy Arthur carry his burdens.

>> What are you doing here? This is a discussion of elite strategy. Your arrogant mother only knows how to survive at the bottom. You know nothing about real strategy. In my last life, you humiliated me before everyone and put that scheming fraud on a pedestal. Today, I'll expose you both myself. Chess is too complicated for you, little sister. If you want to learn, I can teach you slowly. Just don't make daddy angry. Teach me with that suicidal night move.

>> Chloe, you have no talent. And now you're jealous and arrogant, too. Apologize to Lily immediately. Then go to your room.

>> Let her speak. What do you see?

>> Her knight took black's pawn. It looks bold, but it leaves her back row wide open to both bishops. That isn't strategy. It's greedy, stupid suicide.

>> Impossible. I memorized this winning line in my last life. How could a six-year-old country bumpy understand it?

>> Absurd. You don't even know all the places, yet you dare spout nonsense here. Grandpa, if I can solve this endgame in three moves, I want the premier ticket to Maestro Rucy's gala at the Metropolitan Club this weekend.

>> In your dreams. I went to enormous trouble to get that ticket for Lily. Fine. If you can do it, the ticket is yours. Checkmate.

>> She sacrificed the queen as bait. It's the lost Ainian strangle. How is this possible? You're six yet your calculating ability is terrifying. That's impossible. She's just moving pieces at random, right?

>> It's over. It's all over. Give me the ticket.

>> It's yours.

>> Father, that's the Vance family's only chance to meet Roso. How can you give it to this ill-mannered brat? A mediocrity who can't see three moes ahead would only embarrass us there.

>> Lily, don't cry. I'll spend tens of millions on sponsorship if that's what it takes to get you on stage tonight. All of New York will see that you're the real star. That's Alexander Sterling, head of the Sterling Group, Wall Street's youngest billionaire. They say he's been making hostile takeovers of several legacy companies. He's ruthless. Everyone, this is my daughter, Lily. She will perform for Maestro Rosi tonight.

Mr. Arthur, your daughter is extraordinarily talented. The Vance legacy is in good hands. Sarah, I thought you had more pride and now you can't wait to use an elite event like this to cozy up to the powerful. A commoner will always be a commoner. You have no class and you've raised Kloe to be a rude little nobody. Neither of you belongs at the Metropolitan Club. Arthur, you bought Lily a place op and showed that fake genius off to everyone.

Now watch Maestro Rosi expose her in front of the whole room. In My Last Life, Evelyn made Lily memorize this hard piece to enter old money society. Every note is correct, but Lily sounds like a machine with no soul.

>> Mr. Arthur, your daughter's technique is flawless. The Vance family truly has an impressive legacy.

>> An 11-year-old who can play something this difficult must be a rare genius. Oh, great. Yeah. Thank you. Hear that, Sarah? This is real art. The world of the elite you could never touch in that shabby Brooklyn tailor shop. Only a real genius like Lily deserves the Vance inheritance. Admit to everyone here that your common blood is worthless. Apologize to Lily. Then give up Khloe's last share of the trust. Arthur, your arrogance can't hide your ignorance. You call that soulless noise art.

>> Aunt Sarah, I know you and Khloe are upset about being driven from the estate, but you can't belittle all my hard work just to save face.

>> Sarah, you're impossible. How dare you make such outrageous claims at Maestro Rossy's gala? Who do you think you are? Apologize to Lily now. ENOUGH. ALL OF YOU BE QUIET.

>> SOULLESS. Nothing but mechanical imitation. Every note you play is calculated for personal gain. This is an insult to art.

>> Maestro Rosi. Lily is only 11. She's worked so hard.

>> Hard work can't hide emptiness. When did the Metropolitan Club standard sink so low? This mechanical noise is worse than a street corner jickbox. Maestro Rosie, Lily is still a child. She got nervous. Vance Group can add another $10 million to its arts donation. Please give her a chance and take back what you said. Arthur Vance, you think art is a Wall Street stock to be bought and sold? Take your check and your daughter and get out of my sight.

If she'll only yield, if she needs me now, I can save the Vance family's reputation. See, Sarah, this is how demanding the highest circles are. But at least Lily earned the right to stand on that stage. Admit you were wrong. Admit you need me. Then I'll give Kloe the same opportunities as Lily. I'll even welcome you back into the Vance family.

>> Arthur, you'll never understand. Money can't buy a soul, just as it can't buy true dignity. Chloe and I don't need your charity.

>> Spending $10 million to be publicly humiliated. Now that's a Vance family elite resource. You

>> arrogant little brat. WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO ACT SO SUPERIOR HERE?

>> What is the Vance family doing? Sending a six-year-old country bumper up there to embarrass herself?

>> Rossi is already furious. That child is walking to her own execution. on Wall Street. I fought countless sharks to reach the top. Lily only knows how to copy and memorize. She could never match the power behind my music.

>> What? What piece is this? I've never heard a melody this powerful. How can such overwhelming emotion come from a six-year-old child? A genius. A once in a century genius. Child, what is this piece called? Did you compose it yourself?

>> Grandpa, it's called Rebirth. I made it up myself. Do you like it?

>> Like it? It's a miracle. Child, will you become my private student? I'll teach you everything I've learned in my lifetime.

>> Serious.

>> If the Vance family can gain Rossy's elite connections, too, the group's reputation crisis will solve itself.

>> Maestro Rossi, thank you for this tremendous honor. Chloe is my biological daughter and I accept on her behalf.

>> But you just told everyone I had no manners, that I was a country bumpkin who didn't belong here.

>> Children say the silliest things. Daddy was only joking.

>> Mister Rossi, if you'll take Chloe, why not take Lily, too? They're both Vances. They can study together. Advance group will give you all the funding you need.

>> Financial support. You think I collect garbage?

>> You praise this empty fake while tearing down your own daughter. A true genius. You're blind. You know nothing about art. And you're a disgrace as a father.

>> You bought Lily a place stages to impress powerful people. Then you insulted the mother who raised me.

>> Selfish fake like you doesn't deserve to be my father.

>> Chloe, do you have any idea who you're talking to?

>> I only know that right now you're a joke who can't even understand one piece of music.

>> Mr. Sterling, be my new father and protect my mother. Chloe, we don't need to depend on anyone.

>> Mommy is New York's finest couture designer, and I'm Maestro Rossy's only private student. Mr. Sterling, this investment will definitely pay off.

>> I accept the deal.

>> Sarah, you let Chloe pick a new father in front of everyone?

>> You're so desperate to leave me that you throw yourself at this new money upstart.

>> Mr. advance. You have terrible judgment and an even fou mouth.

>> From today on, Sterling Group stands firmly behind Sarah and Khloe. Anyone who touches them makes an enemy of all Wall Street.

>> Escort these two guests out. They're ruining the evening.

>> Who does Alexander think he is? He humiliated me in front of all New York society over a common woman. Arthur, now that Sarah has Sterling Group behind her, she respects the Vance heir less and less. I hear her is about to land a major international order from fashion's leading taste taser. Once she's financially independent, she'll never bow to you again.

>> An outsider has no say over Vance family assets.

>> Evelyn, report to the tomorrow as vice president and take over every operation. I'll show her that without me, she's nothing. Sarah Arthur was worried you couldn't handle everything, so he appointed me vice president. Starting today, I'm taking full control of Anna's order. Coutur requires talent and discipline, not talent in the bedroom. The situ doesn't take trash. Sarah, I know you only hooked Mr. Sterling last night, but on the Upper East Side, a patron you gained by selling your body will eventually cast you aside.

My scissors and my designs are my strength. Yours is nothing but a weak man's wounded ego.

>> In my last life, Evelyn had one of her people pour acid on the fabric the night before delivery. Mom faced a huge penalty, and every security drive had already been smashed. You dare show off such a cheap trick in front of me? Evelyn, enjoy your final hours as vice president. I'll make you watch your own reputation burn to the ground. Miss Anna, every finale gome in your starry night collection is complete.

>> Sarah, this is what kept me waiting for 3 months. Are you insulting me with a pile of garbage?

>> Miss Anna, this is impossible. I personally inspected every inch of fabric before it was sealed last night. Results are all that matter. Paris Fashion Weekend starts next week, and you ruined my finale. Expect a lawsuit. I want every cent of the $30 million penalty.

>> Oh my god, Sarah. How could you do this to Miss Anna's life's work?

>> Miss Anna, please calm down. The Vance family will give you a satisfying answer for such an elementary failure.

>> Arthur, the Vance name is almost worthless now. Sarah, I know design hasn't been your focus lately, but this order affects the entire family. If you can't handle it, you still have no right to treat Miss Anna this way.

>> Evelyn, someone deliberately destroyed these gowns with a strong acid. You were the last person to leave the Atiri last night. It's time we settled that account. Sarah, how can you accuse me when your own management failed? The cameras run all day. Pull the footage and see for yourself. Bad news. Someone smashed the surveillance drives. All of last night's footage is gone.

>> The cameras just happen to fail. Sarah, how long will you keep making excuses? A woman this irresponsible has no place in advance business.

>> Arthur, until we know the truth, no one is making me take the fall.

>> Enough. You're fired. Effective now. You leave with nothing. And you alone will pay the $30 million penalty and face every legal charge.

>> Aunt Evelyn, does one broken hard drive really make you feel that safe?

>> Chloe, who allowed you to cause trouble here? Get back to your mother.

>> Chloe, I know you don't want mommy to pay $30 million, but the security drive is destroyed. Defending her won't change the fact that these gowns are ruined.

>> Physically smashing a hard drive that only fools ignorant mediocrities.

>> You ill-mannered brat. Someone get her out of here.

>> Stop.

>> Let her continue. I want to see just how low this Vance family forest can sink. Sarah, you're letting a six-year-old tamper with the Ataria's equipment. Can you afford the consequences if she destroys Mrs. Anna's data? I take full responsibility for everything Chloe does.

>> Once a device goes online, pieces of its data stay in the cloud, even on dark web servers. You thought smashing one hard drive would erase the evidence. to a top hacker. That's just stupid. Reverse data recovery complete.

>> Good. Very good. So, this is the Vance family's answer to me.

>> That's impossible. How could this happen?

>> It wasn't me. I had nothing to do with this. Arthur, believe me, that employee always hated Sarah's management. He acted alone to get back at the studio. I just became vice president. I knew nothing.

>> Did alone. A low-level employee risked prison to destroy $30 million worth of fabric. Evelyn, do you take everyone here for fools?

>> Miss Anna, you may not believe me, but he's the only person in the footage. There is no proof. I ordered him to do it. Since you've washed your hands so clean, let's look at your offshore account at a Swiss bank last night. No, it's fake. How could a six-year-old hack a Swiss bank? Sarah must have paid someone to fabricate this code. Swiss bank records carry unique, dynamic digital watt marks. Evelyn, are you insulting my intelligence or the common sense of the entire Upper East Side?

>> Arthur, help me. From now on, every major runway in New York, Paris, and Milin will blacklist you and any brand in your name. Your fashion career is over. Sarah, this farable disgust me, but I don't question your ability as a designer. The $30 million penalty is canled. Sarah will finish the order, but the contract must be in her name alone. I won't work with the corrupt Vance family. As you wish, Mrs. Anna.

>> Send the contract to the family legal department and transfer it back to Vance Group's corporate account.

>> Miss Anna was clear. This order belongs to me, not the Vance family.

>> Sarah, don't push me. This studio started with Vance money and Vance connections. Now you want to take Anna's huge order and cut the studio away from the family.

>> This was already a wreck. I spent 6 months rebuilding its design operation and bringing it back to life.

>> I've earned it.

>> Earned it. Without the Vance family, you couldn't import one yard of Italian silk. Sarah, as heir to Vance Group, I'm putting you on notice. The family controls the iterier's credit line and its entire raw material supply chain. One call from me will freeze the studio's account and cut off every overseas supplier. By tomorrow, you won't be able to buy a single needle. How will you finish Anna's order?

Hand over the order and apologize. Otherwise, I'll bankrupt this at italier and leave you and your daughter homeless in Manhattan. The Vance's cash flow. It's about to disappear. Alexander, this is an internal Vance family business. What gives you the right to interfere? Mr. Vance, you should call your CFF.

>> Mr. Vance, 10 minutes ago, Sterling Group bought every bad Vance loan held by City Bank. We also paid $50 million for the studio and cleared all its debts to Vance Group.

>> What? You're thieves.

>> It's called a lawful acquisition.

>> Mr. Sarah, as of today, you own 100% of this aer. No family in New York can ever freeze your accounts again.

>> Mr. Sterling, I will repay this investment from the Atari's dividends over the next 5 years at the highest market interest rate.

>> As you wish, partner. Sarah, are you really taking Vance resources and breaking with the family for this upstark?

>> Take your trash and get out of my

>> Arthur, save me. THEY CAN'T THROW ME OUT.

>> The couturier was only the first step. Arthur, after losing that one cash boat, Vance Group's finances are already stretched to the breaking point.

>> Little partner, what's the next move?

>> I want the Vance family to lose everything in the stock market.

>> Sarah took the Itelier. Richard is furious with me.

>> Daddy, we haven't lost yet. If we can double Vance Group's money, Grandpa won't strip you of your inheritance. When the market opens tomorrow, put everything into Starlink Tech. Use 10 to1 leverage.

>> 10 to1 leverage? That's an illegal use of trust assets. If we're liquidated, the whole family will go bankrupt.

>> Trust me, I saw it in a dream. The company will announce a major new patent the day after tomorrow. It stock will jump 10 times. This is our only chance to come back.

>> Arthur took the bait. He used every liquid asset in the Vance Trust, leveraged it 10 to1, and put it all into Starling Tech.

>> It's a junk stock on the verge of deacing.

>> Lily, you think your past life memories can control Wall Street? Starling Tech rose last time only because I secretly used it to launder money. This time, I've already set the trap. Mr. Sterling, prepare $50 billion in shortselling capital.

>> What do you intend to do?

>> Launch our biggest short. At the peak, we'll crush Starling Tech. It's rising. It's really soaring.

>> Chloe, so what if you got the Aira? Once I make Arthur tens of billions, I'll still be the Vance family's exalted heir. In half a day, our paper profit has already passed 3 billion.

>> Lily, you truly are a genius.

>> Mr. Sterling Senior. Lily has studied famous defense games from the last century. This move is flawless. If she helps manage the Vance Trust, our money will be safe.

>> Copying a diagram without thought. Lifeless.

>> Dressing retreat up as defense is how the incompetent console themselves.

>> You don't even know the basic rules. If you offer me a piece, I'll gladly take it.

>> Checkmate.

>> Sacrifice the Rick, cut off the retreat, and close the net in three moves. Richard, your adopted granddaughter is a fool who can only memorize, but your biological daughter has the instincts of a brilliant predator. You ill-mannered brat. Who let you show off here? The Vance Inheritance Review dinner is no place for your tantrums. Go back to your room.

>> Arthur, all your confidence rests on that tech stock Lily boasted about. By my count, it's time for the blade to fall. A massive unknown fund is shorting Starlink Tech. The stock has crashed 90% in 10 minutes. Accounts using heavy leverage are now being forced to close. Liquidated at 10 to1 leverage. Vance Group's cash flow is gone. Tens of billions in assets vanished. The Vance family is head for bankruptcy and liquidation.

>> It couldn't possibly fall. Someone must be manipulating it behind the scenes.

>> Every liquid asset in the Vance trust gone. The bank will take over the estate first thing tomorrow.

>> I remember my past life. Why has everything changed? What is happening? Is that an internal trading terminal used by a Wall Street shortselling firm? Manipulating Wall Street takes 50 billion in hard capital because 10 minutes ago I personally hit enter on the short order that forced your liquidation and drove the stock through the floor.

>> My son Alexander personally approved her short meing leverage. Grandpa, Wall Street doesn't believe in tears. I've wiped out your entire capital base. You have two choices. First, sign. Arthur loses his inheritance forever and I get control. I'll close the short, pay the debt, and save the estate. Second, refuse. At 8 tomorrow morning, the liquidation team moves in and auctions off the family empire piece by piece.

>> Father, you can't sign. Give it to her and the family will fall completely into an outsider's hands. Fool. Leave the trust to you and the Vances will be bankrupt tonight. You win. From this moment on, you control the Vance family.

>> Arthur, starting tomorrow, Vance estate will no longer feed dead weight. Take your genius adopted daughter and get ready to leave.

>> I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS. What does a six-year-old know about management? The Vance shareholders will never agree.

>> Whether the Vance shareholders agree is now for Sterling Group to decide. Sterling Group has put 30 billion in reserve at Citab Bank and will take over the Vance debt plan. We have one condition. Mrs. Sarah becomes Vance Group's executive director.

>> Sarah, she's a commoner. Father, are you going to stand there while outsiders swallow the family fort? Winners rule and losers submit. You gambled away the Vance's entire capital base. You have no right to speak. Clear the room as the new head of the family ordered.

>> Arthur, beg your father. Where will we go if we have to leave the estate?

>> Get away from me. If you and your daughter hadn't sworn that stock would rise 10fold, HOW COULD I HAVE FALLEN this far? Sarah, you think you've won because Arthur lost his inheritance?

>> Sarah, I'm begging you. The media is watching. Give Evelyn the retirement trust and put an end to this. The Vance family cannot survive this humiliation.

>> She's your benefactor. Why should Sterling Group pay her?

>> You're the group's executive director now. That amount is nothing to you. Are you really going to let the media destroy me?

>> Sarah, you really are heartless. But it doesn't matter. Mr. Richard Vance still cares about appearances. blackmailing them with a life-saving debt you bought. Evelyn, your time is up.

>> Sign it. Mrs. Evelyn, you're under arrest on suspicion of major commercial fraud and attempted murder for hire. You have the right to remain silent.

>> LET ME GO. I SAVED THE VAMPIRE. ARTHUR, HELP ME. SARAH, I was wrong. I was completely blind. I hurt you and Chloe for two conifits. Sarah, forgive me for what we once meant to each other. Marry me again. The Vance family needs you. I need you. Sarah, I'm all the Vance family has left. Come back and you can run the studio and the trust. I swear I'll never interfere again. Can't the three of us start over?

>> Arthur, you look even uglier begging at my feet than you did looking down on me. Myellar doesn't need charity from the Vance family. And as for the three of us, we stopped being a family the day you brought those two into the estate. Ladies and gentlemen of the press, Sterling Group is more than Mrs. Sarah's business partner. Next month, Miss Sarah and I will be married. From this day forward, Sterling Group will protect her and Khloe in every way.

Arthur, I told you I'd find myself a better new father. Now, take the empty shell of the Vance family and get out of our sight.

>> Mr. Sterling, let's go home.

>> Let's go.

>> I broke the Vance family's rotten rules with my own hands. This time I won back mom's dignity and earned a place at the top of Manhattan. Now it's our time.
