Speaker A
Why were you avoiding me on stage just now? Mr. Grey has had too much to drink.
Speaker A
Do not speak to me in that tone. Then how should I speak? Lilly, I think I finally know who I want to marry.
Speaker A
Ethan? Ethan, how did you end up kissing Adrian like that? He kissed me. Ethan, open the door.
Speaker A
Does the Grey family know Mr. Grey has a habit of barging into ladies' houses?
Speaker A
The person just now was you. Mr. Grey kissed the wrong person and now wants to blame me? You should see a neurologist.
Speaker A
Then how do you explain this? My sister wearing something I gave her needs your approval?
Speaker A
Let go. Are you afraid I will recognize you? Lilly, let's go. Mr. Grey lost control tonight. Tomorrow I will write the trending headline for the Grey family myself.
Speaker A
Ethan, you had better keep hiding well. Mr. Hayes, the Grey family has arrived. Is your mouth better, Mr. Grey? Need me to recommend a dentist?
Speaker A
Ethan, mind your manners. Nice pruning, Mr. Hayes. If rotten roots are not removed, the flower will not live long.
Speaker A
Mr. Hayes, I believe the marriage between Lilly and Adrian would be a perfect match for both families.
Speaker A
Mr. Grey? Are you not afraid of his temper? I am, but I am more afraid certain people will run away.
Speaker A
Uncle, we can discuss the marriage alliance, but I have one condition. When I meet Miss Hayes from now on, I hope Ethan will be present, too.
Speaker A
What kind of condition is that? I respect how protective Mr. Hayes is of his sister. Only if he agrees will I feel at ease.
Speaker A
Mr. Grey wants me to be a supervisor? You can understand it that way. Then you had better not make any mistakes.
Speaker A
I watch people very closely. I know. You bid hard that night, too. Mr. Grey has been staring at me for 10 minutes.
Speaker A
Is the proposal written on my face? Your face is more interesting. Mr. Hayes has signed off. This is for the family of the groom.
Speaker A
You don't dare. Mr. Grey, losing control again? Ethan, you look more like the groom than I do.
Speaker A
Mr. Grey is worth billions. Do you really not have a second car? You drive.
Speaker A
Afraid I will crash you to death? Afraid you will run. Move your hand. Does it hurt?
Speaker A
That night, why did you bite me? Because you deserved it. What about now? Ethan, if I do not touch you, will you keep pretending not to know forever?
Speaker A
Adrian, in name, you are still my sister's blind date partner. That is why I am going crazy.
Speaker A
After Miss Hayes marries into the Grey family, the Hayes family will finally be climbing up the ladder.
Speaker A
Mr. Walsh sounds so sour. Did you skip the food tonight and only drink vinegar?
Speaker A
Grey Group does not need to humiliate people to do business. Do not touch me.
Speaker A
Adrian, are you insane? Move again and I will kiss you right here. You carried the wrong person. Your fiancé is outside.
Speaker A
I know exactly what I am doing. Go any lower and I will stop you. Then me first.
Speaker A
Do not let me keep falling for you. Ethan, the corner of your mouth is split.
Speaker A
Hit it at the dinner table. I do not like Adrian. You do not have to because of me.
Speaker A
Because of you. I never liked him from the beginning. Dad told me to meet him and I just couldn't refuse.
Speaker A
But Ethan, every time you scold him you look more serious than when you look at anyone else.
Speaker A
Seriously at people I hate. Then why did you come home clutching his cufflink? Ethan, I do not want you to push yourself outside for my sake.
Speaker A
He likes you. When he looks at me and he looks at me it is like looking at a fire.
Speaker A
It's the same way you. Ethan, where did you go with him last night? Uncle asked me if you have questions.
Speaker A
I was the one who took him away last night. Adrian, you came to discuss marriage with Lilly, not to ruin my son's reputation.
Speaker A
Last night Ethan drank for Lilly and had a stomach attack. I sent him to rest.
Speaker A
Nothing happened. Nothing happened? You carried him out in public. The whole city saw it.
Speaker A
Then say I got drunk and made a scene and Mr. Grey was doing charity.
Speaker A
Do not talk about yourself that way. You shut up. Uncle, Ethan did nothing wrong.
Speaker A
Now that you are protecting him, are you trying to break the engagement? Dad, I will not marry him.
Speaker A
Grey Group can continue helping the Hayes family, but not by buying people with marriage.
Speaker A
Fine. Since you are all so noble, who will fill the Hayes family's funding gap, eh?
Speaker A
I will. With what? That mouth of yours that only offends people? Three days. I will make sure the Hayes family does not have to sell its daughter or its son.
Speaker A
What gives you the right to represent the Hayes family? This proposal can bring the Hayes family back to cash flow in three months instead of selling faces through marriage.
Speaker A
Mr. Hayes, did you steal this proposal? Stay 30 cm away from me or all your equipment stays here today.
Speaker A
Back up. The boarders are filming. Grey Group's legal team has traced the source of the forged contract. Touch me again and every post you publish today will receive a lawyer's letter.
Speaker A
Now it is my turn to continue the presentation. The Nobel Prize. You are going to be the death of me.
Speaker A
Does Mr. Grey always celebrate by locking people underground? You are the only one here who can scold me.
Speaker A
What a convenient coincidence. Almost like kidnapping. Do not fight your own body. Are you hurt?
Speaker A
If it hurts, get up. Ethan, that night was not an accident. You mistook me for someone else. I made that mistake once.
Speaker A
I will not make it a second time. Adrian, if you kiss me again, I really will not let you marry my sister.
Speaker A
I never wanted to marry her in the first place. Mr. Hayes has been very much in the spotlight lately. But men who are too sharp easily hurt others and themselves. Do not worry, madam. I usually only hurt those who deserve it.
Speaker A
Could you please fetch the old gift list from the back garden? I believe you know where it is.
Speaker A
Mr. Hayes has such a sharp tongue. I wonder whether you are still sharp when you are pinned down.
Speaker A
Who allowed you into the Grey house? Mr. Hayes, this is the Grey residence, not a place for you to throw a tantrum.
Speaker A
If thugs grow in the Grey garden, then the feng shui really needs fixing. Hey, Adrian.
Speaker A
Today's tea party ends here. Also, whoever touched him can explain it to the legal department.
Speaker A
Your mother will hate me even more. Then let her hate me. Illegal detention? There is a storm outside and the roads are blocked. You can call the police and say I wanted to take care of you.
Speaker A
If it hurts, scold me. You do know yourself pretty well. Get up here, cross the line, and I will kick you down.
Speaker A
What did you dream about? Ethan, what am I supposed to do with you? Cancel this marriage.
Speaker A
You do not have to pretend to be surprised. When you look at my brother, even your breathing slows for half a beat.
Speaker A
Sorry. You did not wrong me. You never gave me any false hope. As for my brother, he says he hates you, but whenever you are hurt, he notices before anyone else.
Speaker A
He refuses to admit it. He has always been like this. He can break an arm and still say it does not hurt. If something he likes is taken away, he says he never wanted it anyway.
Speaker A
Lilly, you are getting very good at selling out your brother. I am only canceling the engagement and selling a little truth on the side.
Speaker A
Satisfied? You do not have to marry my sister anymore. You can go find another alliance partner.
Speaker A
I only want you. I am a man. I know. I am the brother of the person you almost married.
Speaker A
I know that, too. Then do you know that once I fall for someone, it will be ugly?
Speaker A
Then let it be ugly only for me. Mr. Hayes, did you interfere in your sister's engagement?
Speaker A
Adrian, come back here. Put me down. I can walk. Can you stop always forcing yourself to be strong?
Speaker A
Then can you stop always protecting me in front of everyone? No. Mr. Grey, Mr. Grey.
Speaker A
The photos are real. The engagement is cancelled too. But Ethan did not interfere in anyone's relationship.
Speaker A
I was the one who fell first, lost control, and refused to let go. Adrian, shut up.
Speaker A
Are you afraid? I am afraid you will ruin yourself. Without you, I was already ruined.
Speaker A
Tell Chairwoman Grey the Hayes fa...
Speaker A
I am here to make a deal. The source of the secretly taken photos is someone inside the Grey family. Are you going to investigate?
Speaker A
If you do not investigate, I will. By then, the Grey family will lose even more face.
Speaker A
What do you want? Adrian. On what grounds? Because he is trapped because of me.
Speaker A
I am here to take him away. How did you get here? To visit a luxury house imprisonment scene.
Speaker A
You should not have come. Cut the crap. Come with me. Do you even know how to drive?
Speaker A
As long as I know how to escape. Mr. Hayes is truly wild. Watch the road.
Speaker A
Wasn't Mr. Grey very bold when kissing me? Why don't you dare look now? Ethan, do not tempt me.
Speaker A
When you tempted me, did you ask for my permission? May I? If you dare stop, then I will really you.
Speaker A
Ethan, did you rescue someone all the way into bed last night? Dad is sending me abroad this afternoon.
Speaker A
Ethan, have you not embarrassed us enough? You cannot sell her, and you cannot lock me up.
Speaker A
Uncle, Lily's departure procedures have been suspended. On what grounds? I have filled the Hayes Group's funding gap with the condition that no one in the Hayes family must force Lillian into marriage or out of the country.
Speaker A
You told me to go back and handle the Gray family. I handled it. Who told you to chase me here?
Speaker A
Your receipt was written too badly. I refuse to accept it. Who told you to rummage through my things?
Speaker A
Why does your hand keep shaking? Old problem. No need for Mr. Gray to worry.
Speaker A
What happened to you when you were a child? It has nothing to do with you. It has everything to do with me.
Speaker A
You are hurting right now. You think kissing me and sleeping with me gives you the right to control me?
Speaker A
Adrian, I am not something you keep. You can scold me and you can push me away, but do not hurt yourself like this.
Speaker A
I protected them for so many years and no one ever asked whether I was in pain.
Speaker A
From now on, I will ask. If you want to die, do not drag me down with you. I want to give you a name, a place beside me, a place Mr. Grey, are you planning to say on stage you fell for the man who almost
Speaker A
became your brother-in-law? Or that you slept with a man? Grey Group stock price, your mother, the Hayes family, Lily, you do not care about any of them.
Speaker A
I care. But I cannot keep letting you hide inside the blame. I do not need you to save me.
Speaker A
But I want to stand beside you. Now is not the time. Then when will it be the time?
Speaker A
Three. Two. One. Do not force me. I just learned not to run. Do not push me in front of everyone.
Speaker A
All right. I will not say it. Mr. Grey, there have been rumors about your personal relationship. Is there anyone special in your life right now?
Speaker A
I do have someone I want to protect, but until he is willing, I will not speak a single word for him.
Speaker A
Take a look. Evidence that your father embezzled Grey Group's investment funds. Adrian took the blame to protect the Hayes family. Members of the board already want to remove him.
Speaker A
So you want me to leave him? Being with him will only make him lose everything.
Speaker A
Madam, you really know how to pick at a weak spot. Are you not the one who loves protecting people most?
Speaker A
This time, protect him. What does this mean? I am tired of it. Look at me and say it.
Speaker A
Adrian, adults sleeping together a few times does not mean they have to be responsible for life.
Speaker A
Didn't you want a name? I cannot give it to you. I hate trouble. Ethan, when you lie, you always start by attacking people.
Speaker A
Do not go. Mr. Grey, the board meeting is this afternoon. You must attend. Postpone the meeting.
Speaker A
It cannot be postponed. The chairwoman Grey has already arrived. Mr. Hayes, do not investigate things you should not investigate.
Speaker A
Did your boss not tell you? I love investigating things I should not investigate. How did you find me?
Speaker A
The scent of your medicine. I searched every place where you might buy it. Catch! This could save you.
Speaker A
What I want is you. GO! TAKE THE USB DRIVE OUT! TRY MAKING ME LEAVE AGAIN.
Speaker A
ADRIAN, are you stupid? If the evidence is gone, you are finished. What do I need Grey Group for if I do not have you?
Speaker A
I can walk. Shut up. Save your strength to scold me for the rest of my life.
Speaker A
Adrian, wake up. You are crying. If you dare die, I will immediately find 10 men younger than you.
Speaker A
Not allowed. I like you. Do you hear me? I like you, so you have to live.
Speaker A
I heard you. Say it again. Live, and I will say it a hundred times.
Speaker A
Ethan, if you keep this up, he will wake up and you will collapse. He owes me a hundred times.
Speaker A
Adrian. Which time is this? You said if I lived, you would say it a hundred times.
Speaker A
I remember. Your first words after waking up are to collect a debt? I was afraid you would deny it.
Speaker A
Do not move. You kissed me first. It is hard not to move. You scared me.
Speaker A
I know. The men at the warehouse were arranged by Leon Carter, a director of Grey Group. Your father was only used.
Speaker A
This time I owe you. No need. Just stop using for his own good to force me away from him.
Speaker A
What are you laughing at? Tired of living? I am laughing because I finally have a title.
Speaker A
Your boyfriend. That is the title. A hundred times, you better be ready to hear it.
Speaker A
I will hold you to that. Mr. Grey's private life is chaotic and has caused a public relations crisis for the company. I propose temporarily removing him from his position.
Speaker A
Director Carter, are you in such a hurry because you're afraid the fire didn't burn clean enough?
Speaker A
You have no right to speak here. Whether I have the right is not important. The evidence does.
Speaker A
Forgery. It was him. He's the one who paid me to set fire to the warehouse.
Speaker A
My right hand is injured. That does not mean my left hand cannot break someone.
Speaker A
What now? You were very handsome just now. Only just realized that? The board meeting just ended and you are already in heat?
Speaker A
It is a celebration. Next time, choose somewhere without cameras. I was wrong before. I always thought you were sharp-tongued and hard to manage, not as obedient as Lily.
Speaker A
The Hayes family will be yours from now on. When you needed me, you called me the eldest son of the Hayes family. When you did not want me, I was the Hayes family's trouble.
Speaker A
Now that the Hayes family is about to collapse, you remember I can hold up the front?
Speaker A
I only want to make it up to you. Compensation is not throwing what you do not want to carry on to me.
Speaker A
I will help restructure Hayes Group, but not for you. It is for Lily and for myself.
Speaker A
So, all these years of endurance were not for nothing. You are not moving back into the Hayes house?
Speaker A
No. Ethan, have you really decided? This time, I will not decide for anyone else.
Speaker A
I will choose what I want. I have no home anymore. Then come to my place.
Speaker A
Not the Gray house. Our home. Hm. If you do not like it, we can change it.
Speaker A
Did you investigate me? I asked Lily. She is addicted to selling out her brother.
Speaker A
I want to take care of you, not control you. I'll sleep on the side near the door.
Speaker A
It's easier to escape. What are you doing? You sleep inside. I will block the door.
Speaker A
Childish. Just a little more. Still want to work now? Your injury has not healed. Do not mess around.
Speaker A
Then do not sit on my lap. Mr. Grey, is self-control is this bad? Since meeting you, I have had none.
Speaker A
Mr. Grey, we are ready for you. Adrian. Nervous? Stop flattering yourself. If anyone asks tonight, you do not have to hide anymore.
Speaker A
I do not like being pushed in front of cameras, but I hate it even more when you stand in front alone.
Speaker A
Are you sure? Follow me. Mr. Grey, Mr. Hayes, what is your relationship? Can you not tell?
Speaker A
So, the rumors are true? You have been filming for so long. Do I still need to teach you reading comprehension?
Speaker A
Years have passed and you are still this beautiful. If you do not know how to speak, donate your mouth to someone who needs it.
Speaker A
I am back to invest and need a partner. Come with me and I will give you absolute say.
Speaker A
He does not need it. Mr. Grey, since when do I not need a career?
Speaker A
Whatever you need, I will give you. Mr. Grey, is this what they call love brain?
Speaker A
Are you childish or what? Adrian, there are people outside. Let them watch. You can be jealous, but you cannot go crazy. I am not your accessory.
Speaker A
I know. I am just afraid. You used to run too fast. I am afraid that if someone gives you a better road, you will not want me anymore.
Speaker A
Idiot. If I really wanted to run, could you catch me? Even if I cannot catch you, I will still chase you.
Speaker A
I'm not forcing you to go public and I am not forcing you to agree to anything.
Speaker A
I just want to show you something. I know you do not like being arranged and you do do like being kept by anyone.
Speaker A
What does this mean? Ethan, I cannot give you freedom. Because freedom was always yours. I only want to clear the obstacles from your path.
Speaker A
Mr. Gray, even your proposal sounds like a contract. Then I will say it another way. Ethan, I want to be scolded by you every day, warm your medicine into the cloth cups when you are hot, and run at you when
Speaker A
you want to run. If you are willing, let me belong to you. Ethan, say something already.
Speaker A
Shut up. Adrian, if you ever dare regret this I only regret not recognizing you sooner.
Speaker A
Returning it to you. I once thought a heartbeat meant gentleness, suitability, and matching families.
Speaker A
Later I learned it is someone who can drive me mad with a single sentence, yet make me lose control in front of everyone. I am willing to love Ethan. I have a bad temper, a poison mouth, I'm hard to whoos, and I hold grudges.
Speaker A
Adrian, you still have time to run. I will not run. Then listen carefully. I do.
Speaker A
Not because of the Gray family, not because of the Hayes family, not because anyone needs me to sacrifice.
Speaker A
I simply want to choose you. Put me down. This is embarrassing. Ethan, I am finally not afraid of you anymore.
Speaker A
Then you are finished. I will be even fiercer from now on. I could not ask for more.
