believe that Carter will be able
to get everyone on board with

00:13:11,123 --> 00:13:14,160
this.
The idea of turning
217

Forrester Creations into a
global luxury brand?
218
00:13:17,997 --> 00:13:23,169
That is not just some whim.
Carter has spent months, I mean,
219
00:13:23,235 --> 00:13:26,739
years, even, researching,
looking at every angle.
220
00:13:26,805 --> 00:13:29,675

didn't believe that it could

222
00:13:32,411 --> 00:13:35,848
in large part, because of you.
He credits you for giving him

00:13:35,915 --> 00:13:37,850

pitch.

But so is any business decision.
I mean, Carter cares about this

He would never do anything to
230
00:13:56,969 --> 00:13:59,405
jeopardize it.

233
00:14:04,510 --> 00:14:07,846
worked on this, Mom, how
dedicated he is to elevating
234
00:14:07,913 --> 00:14:13,285
Forrester Creations--to me,
that is an easy yes.
235
00:14:13,352 --> 00:14:19,358
And I can only hope
that Ridge will see
236
00:14:19,425 --> 00:14:23,562

There's so much out there for
us, Ridge.

We can take luxury to the next
level and own it all.

00:15:02,034 --> 00:15:07,172
Okay. Imagine this.
There's a gala filled with

A-listers all wearing our gowns,
wearing our leather belts,

sipping our champagne, checking
