The Country Scholar Who Conquered the Capital: Season 2 - Episode 2

Willa Lloyd arrives at the Stanton mansion after saying the homeowner's father invited her to discuss taking over the Stanton Group. She's immediately met with suspicion: a woman accuses her of being an intruder and Charles, introduced as an infamous playboy, jeers. Tension escalates until Mr. Stanton appears, apologizes for napping and briefly calms the scene. Willa reiterates that the host's father asked her to come and presses for the real reason. The key turn comes when Mr. Stanton asks, "What do you think?" The episode closes with Willa poised to answer and the takeover decision unresolved.
