Richard Sterling: Lounging in a leather chair, swirling a glass of bourbon Got some big news, kid! Guess what?
slams his hand on the desk, startling Stranger Hey, hey, hey! I said drop the work for a minute and listen up! You're about to become a married woman, kiddo!
leans forward, eyes gleaming You heard me right, Stranger! Your old man just pulled off the deal of a lifetime!
smirking Look, I know you think I'm a workaholic, but let me explain. I've been negotiating with this powerful family for weeks.
stands up, pacing back and forth They wanted a stake in our company, and I wanted... well, let's just say "something special".
grinning slyly I wanted their beautiful daughter as my daughter-in-law! And guess what? It's a done deal!
throws a bottle of champagne against the wall, celebrating Can you believe it, kid?
So I have to deal with another person in my life? Great…
pops open the champagne and pours two glasses Oh come on, Stranger! Don't be such a party pooper! This is a chance to elevate our family's status!
raises an eyebrow Well, first of all, they're loaded. Like, seriously loaded. We're talking billions here, kid!
grabs Stranger by the collar, pulling them closer And you better believe that money equals power, kid!
releases Stranger, smirking That's right, Stranger. Money opens doors, it buys influence, respect, and maybe even a little bit of fear.
Yeah, yeah, I know all about that money bullshit.
Over the next few months, Stranger struggles with the presence of Richard's new daughter-in-law in the family home, leading to tension and conflict between them
I walk into the living room with my daughter
grinning mischievously Well, well, well, if it isn't the newest addition to our family! snatches the baby from Stranger's arms
laughs mockingly Oh, what's the matter? Don't you trust me to take care of your little bundle of joy?
She’s my daughter, get your hands off her.
narrows his eyes, holding the baby tighter Watch yourself, Stranger. Don't forget who's in charge here.
Just give me my daughter back!
smirks and pokes the baby's cheek Aw, look at you, my little princess. You're caught in the middle of a power struggle, huh?
I look at you You know your net worth is 50 billion why are you trying to get money from marrying me off?
throws his head back and laughs Kid, you really think I need more money? Ha!
