Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:10What the hell is going on here?
00:00:13Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:16Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do.
00:00:21Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:25They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:29Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:35Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunch time.
00:00:45Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:46Mr. Jason, excuse me ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:00:50Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.
00:00:57Yeah, but losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
00:01:05Do I know you?
00:01:09Wait, what are you doing?
00:01:12What are you doing?
00:01:13You can't do this, you're just a cleaner.
00:01:15You can't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:18This is incredible!
00:01:20What's going on?
00:01:22The shorting attempt.
00:01:23It's failing!
00:01:24The price is holding!
00:01:27Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:31We met before.
00:01:34They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:37Hold on.
00:01:38Tell me, how could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:42If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:51Jason?
00:01:52Can we have five now?
00:01:53Mr. Yates?
00:01:54What?
00:01:55Only two bodyguards this time?
00:01:56You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:01:57No, ma'am I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:01:58Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Grimmel.
00:01:59Mr. Yates, you know what?
00:02:00You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:01No, ma'am.
00:02:02I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:02:03Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Grimmel.
00:02:04Mr. Yates.
00:02:12What, only two bodyguards this time?
00:02:14You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:17No, ma'am. I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:02:21Now, listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Grimm.
00:02:26Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:30Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret.
00:02:33And why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:36Look, today is Ben's birthday.
00:02:38Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:41Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:46Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:02:50Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house.
00:02:56For my sake.
00:03:03Divorce papers, sign it.
00:03:08Why?
00:03:17You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:20The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:03:26The Shepard Group.
00:03:27And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:03:31The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:03:35I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:38I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:41Not you.
00:03:43A cleaning woman.
00:03:44Handing out million dollar deals.
00:03:46Don't make me laugh.
00:03:48I did.
00:03:51It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:54I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:58What are you doing here?
00:04:00Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:04Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:07Local royalty.
00:04:10A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:12And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:04:14Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it, Ben?
00:04:23What's going on?
00:04:24Is this why you want a divorce?
00:04:27Because of her?
00:04:28Oh, please.
00:04:29I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:04:31You're still a cleaner.
00:04:33You just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:35Grown apart?
00:04:38No.
00:04:40No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:44I won't sign.
00:04:48Huh.
00:04:49Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:52Ben.
00:04:53All right.
00:04:54Here.
00:04:55A hundred thousand dollars.
00:04:56Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:59A hundred thousand dollars.
00:05:01I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:07Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:10Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:12You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:14This is our active charity to work.
00:05:17Here.
00:05:18A million dollars.
00:05:19Take this.
00:05:20You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:22Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:25I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.
00:05:31Since none of you respect me?
00:05:35A cleaning lady threatening us?
00:05:38I'm so scared.
00:05:40Just leave.
00:05:41You already make this house stink.
00:05:50Thank God she's gone.
00:05:52Go to written store.
00:05:53Sir.
00:05:54Sir.
00:05:54Laura Lewis' information.
00:06:03She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:06:05No wonder why she wanted us to part with them.
00:06:07Actually, sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:11Divorced her?
00:06:14Wait a minute.
00:06:15Don't you remember?
00:06:17She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:22Yeah.
00:06:22She saved our hiding now.
00:06:24Remember?
00:06:24Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:31I don't know.
00:06:33Let's get to the vinyl news.
00:06:37Hey!
00:06:38What are you doing?
00:06:39Let go of me!
00:06:40You attacked Amber!
00:06:42Apologize this instant!
00:06:46Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:48We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:06:50You refused it.
00:06:51And now you're stealing.
00:06:52She couldn't afford it.
00:06:54You're a thief.
00:07:02That's mine!
00:07:03Give it back!
00:07:04That's enough!
00:07:07Laura.
00:07:09I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:12It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:19You see, it's...
00:07:20Who are you?
00:07:21Boar's new squeeze.
00:07:23Excuse me.
00:07:24Do you know who I am?
00:07:25Is this true?
00:07:26You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:07:28Shame on you!
00:07:30Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:31For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:07:34I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:36Oh, please.
00:07:37A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:41You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:43That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:49That's ridiculous.
00:07:50He doesn't look like that.
00:07:52My ring.
00:07:54Jason, give it back to Ms. Davis.
00:07:55Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:56Let's get you out of here.
00:08:02Now.
00:08:02Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:08:04Who the heck is this man?
00:08:05Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:07It's a lie, ma'am.
00:08:08This is none of your business.
00:08:10All rabbed dead bodies.
00:08:12You're not going anywhere until that's when you tell us what's going on.
00:08:15We are the Harrisons.
00:08:16You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:19Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:08:21I'll go back.
00:08:22What?
00:08:23Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:08:25That's a lie!
00:08:26Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura!
00:08:28You come back here and explain yourself.
00:08:30Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!
00:08:35Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the $100 million deal?
00:08:40Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:45I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:49After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:52No!
00:08:53Um, no, the event will proceed.
00:08:57Besides, I'll be there.
00:09:02There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:06Who are you, truly?
00:09:08You'll find out.
00:09:10Mr. Shepard.
00:09:11Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:17Mr. Gates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners,
00:09:24and we're going to have a meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today.
00:09:28Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:35Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:41Oh, excellent, Miss Lewis.
00:09:42I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:45Ben Harrison.
00:09:46After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:03Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:07Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:09Security!
00:10:10Get that woman out of here!
00:10:12We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:10:14Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:16This is a business event, after all.
00:10:19Business?
00:10:19You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:10:22A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:10:25Just get out!
00:10:26Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:30You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:32Oh, Ben.
00:10:32Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:37Oh, Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:39Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:40You don't belong here.
00:10:43Just get out!
00:10:49That's what you get.
00:10:55This contract is mine.
00:10:58To give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:01Don't be ridiculous, this is insane!
00:11:04Who do you think you are?
00:11:06Yeah, put that down.
00:11:06You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:08Security!
00:11:09She's lost a mind!
00:11:11This is a disaster!
00:11:12Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,
00:11:17but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:20You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:33You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:49You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:50Oh, please, honey.
00:11:52You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:54Security!
00:11:55Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:58I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:12:01And after careful consideration,
00:12:04I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:12:10You really think that the Shepard group and I
00:12:12could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:12:14You have no authority here.
00:12:16Of course she has the authority.
00:12:24That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:12:27What is he doing here?
00:12:28Mr. Shepard?
00:12:28How does he know her?
00:12:30Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:32Laura, are you alright?
00:12:36Mr. Shepard, I can assure you,
00:12:37I don't even know this woman.
00:12:39There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:41There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:44This contract with Shepard group
00:12:45is officially terminated.
00:12:48Effective immediately.
00:12:51Wait a minute.
00:12:52This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:54It's her.
00:12:55She ruined the contract.
00:12:57You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:59An affair?
00:13:00She had an affair with that man
00:13:03behind my son's back?
00:13:05Mom, please, it's okay.
00:13:06This man is...
00:13:07Don't touch me.
00:13:09That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone,
00:13:11has an affair,
00:13:12and you just stand there?
00:13:14You're a disgrace.
00:13:15An adulterer.
00:13:16You deserve to be around.
00:13:17Shut up.
00:13:20Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess,
00:13:24but I can assure you,
00:13:24this woman has tricked you.
00:13:26Tricked?
00:13:28Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?
00:13:31What was my name before we got married?
00:13:36Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:38Lewis group?
00:13:40The financial giants?
00:13:41There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:45What?
00:13:46That's crazy.
00:13:48There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:50That's absurd.
00:13:51It's...
00:13:52It's...
00:13:53It's...
00:13:53It's absurd!
00:13:56A high society heirs wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:13:59Yeah.
00:14:00Yeah, it's a lie.
00:14:01It's a lie.
00:14:01This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:14:03In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:14:07She's nothing special.
00:14:09She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:10I was just a waitress.
00:14:14How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:16First time I met her,
00:14:17she was in need of waiters at the diner.
00:14:19Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:14:21When I met her,
00:14:22I'd only just started my business.
00:14:24Now look at me.
00:14:25I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:28And look at her.
00:14:29Still just a clear.
00:14:30Mr. Shepard,
00:14:32that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:35She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:37She's lying, Mr. Shepard.
00:14:39She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:44Let's make something clear.
00:14:46I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:51I used my resources to help my ex-husband,
00:14:55but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:57Don't lie.
00:14:58You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:15:01Oops.
00:15:02That roof was built with lies.
00:15:05Kathy, you never respected me.
00:15:07And Ben?
00:15:09Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:12And the cheating.
00:15:14I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:15:18You were not good enough for Ben then,
00:15:20and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:15:22If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story,
00:15:26then the truth, Kathy.
00:15:29Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:32From everything.
00:15:34Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:15:39Laura, you think you can just walk in here
00:15:40and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:41And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:43I don't think so.
00:15:44You're a cleaner.
00:15:46You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:48Nobody cares about you.
00:15:49Cleaning toilets or not,
00:15:51at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:53I don't need a fancy title
00:15:56or a rich husband to feel important.
00:16:03Now, I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:16:05I think all jobs are important.
00:16:07Right, Mom?
00:16:08Ben, what are you doing?
00:16:10But I don't think that a janitor
00:16:12should have some sort of influence
00:16:14over a deal as big as this.
00:16:15A janitor.
00:16:16Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith
00:16:20exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:25You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal.
00:16:29Weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:31Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:16:33This woman, Laura,
00:16:35she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:38I, but, well...
00:16:40A lie, you say?
00:16:41Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned
00:16:43securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:16:45But I don't recognize you.
00:16:48Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:51Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:55This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:59But the contract...
00:17:00I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:17:02So can't we just print another one
00:17:05and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:07We're printed, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:09Perhaps you haven't been paying attention
00:17:11without Miss Lewis' involvement.
00:17:13I wouldn't even consider
00:17:15partnering with your company.
00:17:20Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:23Shepard Group has no plans
00:17:25to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:30Miss Smith, you lied to us.
00:17:33You destroyed everything.
00:17:34What?
00:17:36No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:17:38I can explain.
00:17:39Lewis?
00:17:40Lewis Family Group?
00:17:42This can't be.
00:17:44Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:46Lewis Group will be holding
00:17:47a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:51Three of our vice presidents
00:17:53will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:55And I'm sure you can ask them
00:17:56if you still have any doubts
00:17:58about who I am.
00:18:02Everyone, listen to me.
00:18:04Shepard Group will not be partnered
00:18:06with Harrison.
00:18:09A man who can't keep his vows to his wife
00:18:11cannot be trusted
00:18:13to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:16The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:18Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:23Miss Lewis,
00:18:23shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:33Help!
00:18:34Mom!
00:18:35Someone get a doctor!
00:18:36Mom!
00:18:37It seems your night has taken
00:18:39quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:43Indeed.
00:18:44Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:53What?
00:18:58What now?
00:19:00Mom,
00:19:01this is not all on me.
00:19:03Not on you?
00:19:04I was trying to help.
00:19:06She cheated on you with Shepard,
00:19:08flaunted their affair.
00:19:10Exactly.
00:19:11And those dresses?
00:19:13Who could afford those
00:19:14on a janitor's salary?
00:19:15Miss Smith,
00:19:17how could you do this?
00:19:18We trusted you completely.
00:19:20No, no.
00:19:22I got Ben the deal.
00:19:23I had no idea
00:19:24Shepard would fall for Laura.
00:19:27She's a liar.
00:19:28Oh, stop it, Amber.
00:19:30You lied to us
00:19:30just as much as she did.
00:19:32Lied?
00:19:34You're on my side.
00:19:36And anyways,
00:19:37I have a plan.
00:19:38The Shepards
00:19:39are no one special.
00:19:40We can expose Laura
00:19:42in all her lies.
00:19:43Go national.
00:19:44We can make ourselves
00:19:45a household name.
00:19:48Now, if you'll excuse me,
00:19:50I have a very important
00:19:51phone call to me.
00:19:52Thank you so much
00:19:59for tonight,
00:19:59Mr. Shepard.
00:20:00Thank you as well
00:20:01for standing up with me.
00:20:03It's all right, Laura.
00:20:04You deserve the credit
00:20:05for all your hard work.
00:20:06Can I ask you something?
00:20:07Do you have any place
00:20:08to stay tonight?
00:20:10Maybe a hotel?
00:20:10Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:13I'll be fine.
00:20:15Excuse me.
00:20:16You can just drop me off.
00:20:17Actually, Laura.
00:20:18Actually, Laura.
00:20:19There is something else.
00:20:21Would you consider
00:20:22go out for dinner sometime?
00:20:24Just casually, of course.
00:20:26Mr. Shepard,
00:20:27are you asking me out?
00:20:29Please, call me Brian.
00:20:33And yes,
00:20:35technically,
00:20:35you're single now.
00:20:38Yes,
00:20:38that may be true,
00:20:39but going out
00:20:41with a newly divorced
00:20:42ex-cleaner
00:20:44isn't exactly
00:20:45proper.
00:20:48Proper?
00:20:49Laura?
00:20:50Laura,
00:20:51I don't give a damn
00:20:52about appearances.
00:20:54Tonight,
00:20:55I saw your intelligence
00:20:56and your strength.
00:20:58Those are qualities
00:20:59I truly admire.
00:21:02So what do you say?
00:21:04Dinner?
00:21:06Just two people
00:21:07getting to know each other.
00:21:12I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:21:13I actually have
00:21:14another appointment tonight,
00:21:15so I can't do that.
00:21:17Wait, Laura.
00:21:18Just here is fine.
00:21:19Laura?
00:21:27Laura,
00:21:28who is it?
00:21:29Laura, wait!
00:21:31Jason,
00:21:32find out
00:21:33who owns that car
00:21:34and do it fast.
00:21:43Ian Lewis,
00:21:45who is this?
00:21:46It's Amber Smith.
00:21:48Mr. Lewis?
00:21:48I'm sorry for the late call,
00:21:51but I believe I have
00:21:52some urgent information
00:21:53about your family.
00:21:54I don't know
00:21:55who you are,
00:21:56Miss Smith.
00:21:57How did you get
00:21:58this number?
00:21:59Don't worry about that
00:22:00right now.
00:22:01I believe I know
00:22:02someone impersonating
00:22:03Laura Lewis.
00:22:04Someone I know
00:22:05very well.
00:22:07Impersonating my niece?
00:22:08and where is this fake Laura?
00:22:10And where is this fake Laura?
00:22:12Right here in Maplewood.
00:22:14And let me tell you,
00:22:16she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:18Well,
00:22:19what is she doing exactly?
00:22:22And more to the point,
00:22:24what do you want from me?
00:22:26In the next few days,
00:22:28the Lewis Group
00:22:29will hold an investment meeting,
00:22:30right?
00:22:32I want to meet
00:22:33with the Vice Presidents.
00:22:34All will be revealed then.
00:22:36Very well.
00:22:37I'll have my secretary
00:22:39arrange a meeting.
00:22:40But be warned,
00:22:42if this is a waste
00:22:42of my time,
00:22:43I...
00:22:44It won't be.
00:22:45Trust me,
00:22:45Mr. Lewis.
00:22:47Thank you,
00:22:47Mr.
00:22:47That little rascal Laura.
00:22:57I wonder what she's up to now.
00:23:02That car belongs to Mr. Yeats,
00:23:05the Lewis family butler.
00:23:07Oh.
00:23:09Lewis family?
00:23:11That's interesting.
00:23:13Could she be connected
00:23:14to them somehow?
00:23:16I'm not sure.
00:23:17Brian!
00:23:20There you are.
00:23:21I've missed you.
00:23:23Chloe.
00:23:24What are you up to?
00:23:26Chloe,
00:23:26what are you doing here?
00:23:28What do you mean?
00:23:30Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:32We ended things for a reason.
00:23:34It was just one teensy mistake.
00:23:36I was...
00:23:37I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:39Doesn't everyone deserve
00:23:40a second chance?
00:23:41Teensy mistake,
00:23:42you said?
00:23:42You cheated on me.
00:23:44Is this your new fling?
00:23:50Ex-divorcey,
00:23:51used to clean floor,
00:23:54it's quite the catch,
00:23:55you say?
00:23:56Look,
00:23:57my relationship with her
00:23:58is none of your business.
00:24:00And don't you dare
00:24:01talk about her like that.
00:24:03Please.
00:24:05An ex-cleaner turned social climber
00:24:07latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:24:09It's a classic story.
00:24:10That's enough.
00:24:12I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:24:14You want to be careful, Brian.
00:24:16Duke Industries still holds
00:24:17a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:19If you want Shepard Group
00:24:21to stay afloat,
00:24:22you ought to be more careful.
00:24:23Seems like you've got more
00:24:28on your plate
00:24:29than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:36This is it.
00:24:38The Lewis Group vice presidents
00:24:39are on the top floor.
00:24:40Once I'm done speaking with them,
00:24:42I'll have Ben's company
00:24:43rolling in business investments.
00:24:45I'll go speak with them first,
00:24:47and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:49Well, well, well.
00:24:51Look who it is.
00:24:52What a surprise.
00:24:54Did Brian teach you already?
00:24:56That's none of your business.
00:24:59Now, move aside, please.
00:25:00Laura, just what do you think
00:25:02you're doing, you street rat?
00:25:04You really think you can just
00:25:05ruin my events again?
00:25:06Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:25:07Don't you have any shame?
00:25:09If you'll excuse me,
00:25:10I have an important meeting
00:25:12to get to.
00:25:13Oh, the nerve.
00:25:14After everything you've done,
00:25:15you think you can just waltz in here
00:25:17and manipulate them, too?
00:25:19Seriously?
00:25:20I think you need to reconsider
00:25:22exactly who's manipulating
00:25:23who here.
00:25:25Oh, that's gold.
00:25:26You really think that they're
00:25:27going to let you in, Laura?
00:25:29Please.
00:25:30You're no one compared to me.
00:25:31You don't deserve to be here.
00:25:33The only ones
00:25:34who don't belong here
00:25:36are you three.
00:25:38And you, idiot,
00:25:40believing every lie
00:25:41that she tells you.
00:25:42Wake up, Ben.
00:25:43Laura, come on.
00:25:46Why do you always pull this on me?
00:25:48I mean, seriously,
00:25:49can't you just let me enjoy
00:25:50one of my events for once?
00:25:52I know what this is.
00:25:54So stupid.
00:25:56Oh, shut your trap.
00:25:58Amber spoke directly
00:25:59with the CEO.
00:26:00He invited her to meet
00:26:01with the VPs
00:26:02before the main meeting.
00:26:04Yeah.
00:26:04Amber got me a partnership
00:26:06with the Lewis Group.
00:26:07And unlike some people,
00:26:09I have a real invitation.
00:26:11Well,
00:26:12before you all
00:26:13start celebrating,
00:26:15why don't you take a look
00:26:17at this?
00:26:21Oh, that's rich.
00:26:23You may have Brian Shepard fooled,
00:26:24but you can't fool me.
00:26:26I spoke to Ian Lewis himself,
00:26:28CEO of Lewis Group.
00:26:29Speaking of Brian,
00:26:31where is he right now?
00:26:33You mean my uncle?
00:26:36Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:38Ian Lewis personally
00:26:40gave me this invitation himself.
00:26:43And besides,
00:26:44this looks fake.
00:26:46She's a liar.
00:26:48This is a personal invitation
00:26:51from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:53It grants me access
00:26:54to the VIP elevator,
00:26:55which leads straight
00:26:56to the vice presidential suite.
00:26:58She's lying.
00:26:59They don't have
00:27:00a VIP elevator
00:27:01in this hotel.
00:27:05Is there a special elevator
00:27:07for VIPs in this hotel?
00:27:09Not that I know of.
00:27:11See?
00:27:12She's lying.
00:27:13There you have it, Laura.
00:27:15Even the hotel staff
00:27:16can spot a fake.
00:27:17Go on,
00:27:17get lost before things get worse.
00:27:22Here,
00:27:23take this one.
00:27:23Lead me to the vice president's.
00:27:25You have
00:27:26no idea
00:27:28what you just did.
00:27:30There
00:27:31will be consequences.
00:27:34Besides,
00:27:35if you have this relationship
00:27:37with Ian Lewis
00:27:38that you claim to have,
00:27:40why don't you just ask him
00:27:41to get the two of them
00:27:43an invitation?
00:27:45Security!
00:27:46Security!
00:27:46We need this woman removed immediately.
00:27:48She is harassing me.
00:27:49We're done with your games, Laura.
00:27:50You're just a fraud.
00:27:52Ma'am, place room.
00:27:52What?
00:27:53Hold on!
00:27:57Brian Shepard?
00:27:59You think money buys you
00:28:01the right to walk all over people?
00:28:02Well, it doesn't.
00:28:03Yeah.
00:28:04Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood,
00:28:06was it, huh?
00:28:07What other plans
00:28:07do you have to destroy this time?
00:28:09Get you out?
00:28:10After what you did to Laura,
00:28:12you had it coming.
00:28:12Don't play dumb.
00:28:15We know exactly
00:28:15what's been happening here.
00:28:17How long has this little affair
00:28:18been going on?
00:28:19You've been sleeping with her
00:28:20since she was married to my son.
00:28:22Hold on a second.
00:28:24An affair?
00:28:25You think Laura and I...
00:28:27You people are unbelievable.
00:28:32Mr. Carter,
00:28:33get down here ASAP.
00:28:35We have a situation.
00:28:37What, you think you can just
00:28:38boss the manager around now?
00:28:39Is that it?
00:28:40Well, stick around
00:28:41and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:42Miss Lewis,
00:28:43apologies for the delay.
00:28:44How can I help you this evening?
00:28:46Thank you, Mr. Carter,
00:28:47for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:49It seems
00:28:50there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:52These people don't think
00:28:54that I belong here.
00:28:56Well, Mr. Carter,
00:28:56I can assure you
00:28:57this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:59A cleaner?
00:29:00Nonsense.
00:29:01I personally agreed to Miss Lewis
00:29:02upon her arrival in Maplewood
00:29:04three years ago.
00:29:05Exactly.
00:29:07Lewis Group,
00:29:08my company,
00:29:11has some major investments
00:29:12planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:14I was just here investigating,
00:29:15potential business opportunities.
00:29:17No, this woman doesn't know
00:29:19the difference between business
00:29:20and a hole in the ground.
00:29:22She's been this way
00:29:23since my son divorced her.
00:29:24She's insane.
00:29:25Actually,
00:29:26I met Laura three years ago
00:29:28at the coffee shop.
00:29:29She helped secure
00:29:31a profitable investment
00:29:32for Shepard Group.
00:29:33No, it's a lie.
00:29:36Mr. Shepard,
00:29:36she's tricking you too.
00:29:40You know,
00:29:42it's exhausting
00:29:43trying to argue
00:29:44with people who forget
00:29:45who helped them.
00:29:48Mr. Carter,
00:29:49would you mind showing me
00:29:49to the VIP elevator?
00:29:51Wait,
00:29:51is that why you're
00:29:52covering for her?
00:29:53Because of the affair?
00:29:54Because she slept with you?
00:29:55Excuse me,
00:29:56who are you
00:29:57and how dare you speak
00:29:58to Miss Lewis that way?
00:29:59Enough of this.
00:30:00She's right.
00:30:00That's enough.
00:30:01Have you ever
00:30:02embarrassed yourself enough?
00:30:03This is Lewis Group property.
00:30:05Behave or I'll call security.
00:30:07But she doesn't even have
00:30:08a VIP entrance access.
00:30:10She shouldn't be here.
00:30:12Since you're having
00:30:13trouble understanding them,
00:30:15let me make it clear.
00:30:17This hotel
00:30:18is owned by the Lewis family.
00:30:21It's mine
00:30:22to come
00:30:23or go
00:30:24as I please.
00:30:29Thank you
00:30:29for stepping in,
00:30:30Brian.
00:30:31I owe you
00:30:32one.
00:30:33We'll talk about this later.
00:30:34Well,
00:30:37it seems divorcing
00:30:37a powerful woman
00:30:38wasn't the best decision,
00:30:40Mr. Edwards.
00:30:47Come in.
00:30:50Excuse me,
00:30:51Vice Presidents.
00:30:53I'm Amber Smith,
00:30:55General Manager
00:30:55of the Lewis Group
00:30:56Maplewood Branch.
00:30:57I believe Ian Lewis
00:30:58told you about
00:30:59our meeting today?
00:31:00Maplewood Branch.
00:31:02Our records
00:31:03don't show
00:31:04any Maplewood Branch,
00:31:06Ms. Smith.
00:31:07Are you sure
00:31:08you haven't gotten
00:31:09something mixed up?
00:31:11Ian Lewis,
00:31:13Mr. Lewis,
00:31:15reassured me
00:31:15that today
00:31:16we would discuss,
00:31:17well,
00:31:18expansion plans.
00:31:20Expansion plans?
00:31:23Ms. Smith?
00:31:24A decision like that
00:31:24wouldn't be taken
00:31:25without board approval.
00:31:27And frankly,
00:31:28we haven't heard
00:31:29anything about
00:31:30Maplewood Branch.
00:31:31But
00:31:32Ian Lewis
00:31:33assured me
00:31:34that...
00:31:35Ms. Smith,
00:31:36we have a very
00:31:36important guest
00:31:37arriving soon.
00:31:38Perhaps you'd like
00:31:39to schedule a follow-up
00:31:40meeting with one
00:31:40of our staff.
00:31:42Maybe I can stay
00:31:42for this guest
00:31:43and offer some
00:31:44local...
00:31:44Ms. Smith,
00:31:45we'd like you to leave.
00:31:46If you don't,
00:31:47we'll call security.
00:31:53Hey,
00:31:54stop there.
00:31:55This elevator
00:31:55is a VIP only.
00:31:57Back, please.
00:31:58Of course.
00:31:59my apologies.
00:32:06Laura?
00:32:10Vice Presidents!
00:32:11It's so good
00:32:12to see all of you again.
00:32:14Ms. Lewis,
00:32:16it's been too long.
00:32:17Your return
00:32:18is a lifesaver,
00:32:19Ms. Lewis.
00:32:20The Lewis group
00:32:21has floundered
00:32:22under your uncle's,
00:32:23well,
00:32:23shall we say,
00:32:24unconventional leadership.
00:32:26The board
00:32:27are begging you
00:32:28to come back,
00:32:29Ms. Lewis.
00:32:31Well,
00:32:31please sit.
00:32:33Yes, well,
00:32:34it is time for me
00:32:35to get my career
00:32:36back on track.
00:32:37We've got
00:32:38a meeting planned,
00:32:39a big one,
00:32:41in just a few days.
00:32:43Local powerhouses
00:32:44and smaller players,
00:32:46too.
00:32:47They'll all be there
00:32:47in one spot.
00:32:49Ms. Lewis,
00:32:50we met
00:32:50with an Amber Smith.
00:32:53She claimed
00:32:54your uncle
00:32:55appointed her
00:32:56general manager
00:32:57of a Maplewood branch
00:32:58for the Lewis group.
00:33:00She said that,
00:33:01did she?
00:33:02Well,
00:33:02Ms. Smith
00:33:02is a liar.
00:33:04There is
00:33:04no Maplewood branch,
00:33:06at least not yet.
00:33:07She lied so blatantly,
00:33:09it was,
00:33:09it's unbelievable.
00:33:10Bob,
00:33:11don't worry.
00:33:12I found a much
00:33:13more suitable partner.
00:33:17Shepherd group.
00:33:18Shepherd group?
00:33:19Their rise to a public company
00:33:21has been impressive.
00:33:23Do you have anything
00:33:24to do with that?
00:33:26So,
00:33:26what happens now
00:33:27with this
00:33:28Amber Smith?
00:33:30Oh,
00:33:30don't worry about Amber.
00:33:34I've got plans
00:33:35for her.
00:33:38Ms. Lewis,
00:33:40consider this
00:33:41your official invitation
00:33:43to the legend
00:33:44from us.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:48Cheers.
00:33:48Cheers.
00:33:48I'm not leaving.
00:34:00What are you talking about?
00:34:01No, come on.
00:34:01Wait!
00:34:02I'm Amber Smith.
00:34:03I'm the Lewis group
00:34:04manager of Maplewood branch.
00:34:05What are you doing?
00:34:06These are my guests.
00:34:06Yeah, that's right.
00:34:07Tell them who we are.
00:34:08Yes,
00:34:09we were waiting
00:34:09for Ms. Smith.
00:34:12Lewis group,
00:34:13Maplewood branch?
00:34:14No such thing, ma'am.
00:34:15And frankly,
00:34:16I'm not interested
00:34:16in your act.
00:34:18Oh, of course.
00:34:19Laura!
00:34:20She's probably sleeping
00:34:22with the manager as well.
00:34:23That's how she gets
00:34:24away with everything.
00:34:25You underestimate her,
00:34:26Kathy.
00:34:27She's probably sleeping
00:34:28with all three
00:34:28vice presidents.
00:34:30No way a girl like her
00:34:31could get into
00:34:32a hotel like this.
00:34:33Careful with your words.
00:34:34Both of you.
00:34:36Acquisitions like that
00:34:37can get you
00:34:38in serious trouble.
00:34:39Look who can't
00:34:42even get into
00:34:43a meeting.
00:34:43Whilst I secure
00:34:44three with
00:34:45all the vice presidents
00:34:46and let's not forget
00:34:48the mystery guests
00:34:48that they're bringing
00:34:49to Maplewood.
00:34:50Looks like she used
00:34:52you and tossed
00:34:52you aside.
00:34:53Used me?
00:34:54Unlike some people,
00:34:56I don't mind
00:34:56being helpful.
00:34:58You're so stupid.
00:34:59She threw you away
00:35:00like yesterday's trash.
00:35:02Don't worry, Brian.
00:35:04You deserve better.
00:35:05And let's not forget,
00:35:06I'm the new
00:35:07Maplewood branch
00:35:08manager of Lewis group.
00:35:09Appointed by the
00:35:10CEO of Lewis group
00:35:11themselves,
00:35:12Ian Lewis.
00:35:14New branch manager,
00:35:15huh?
00:35:17Interesting.
00:35:18Laura Lewis?
00:35:19What are you doing here?
00:35:20Get out of here!
00:35:21You claim to be
00:35:22the mystery guest.
00:35:24Don't play games, Laura.
00:35:26I was formally invited
00:35:27by Lewis group themselves
00:35:28to the investment meeting.
00:35:30Only the top companies
00:35:32get those.
00:35:33Looks like you're
00:35:34all out of luck.
00:35:35Is that so?
00:35:37Well, then.
00:35:37there seems to be
00:35:39a misunderstanding.
00:35:42You see,
00:35:42I'm not sure
00:35:43if you know
00:35:44Miss Smith,
00:35:45but Lewis group
00:35:46is my company
00:35:47and I decide
00:35:48who goes to the meetings.
00:35:52Escort them out.
00:35:53What?
00:35:54Their visit is over.
00:35:56Oh, come on.
00:35:56This way, please.
00:35:58I'm not leaving.
00:36:00Move.
00:36:01We're not leaving again.
00:36:02Move.
00:36:02Oh, no, no, no.
00:36:03We're not going now.
00:36:04Okay, bye.
00:36:04Bye.
00:36:05This isn't over, Laura.
00:36:06You'll see.
00:36:10Thanks for waiting, Glenn.
00:36:13Laura,
00:36:14I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:17And thank you
00:36:19for defending me.
00:36:21I really
00:36:22appreciate it.
00:36:25Um,
00:36:26are you coming
00:36:27to the meeting?
00:36:29Yes,
00:36:29but it's
00:36:31going to be tricky.
00:36:35Why?
00:36:35I'm sure
00:36:37that Shepard group
00:36:38got an invitation.
00:36:41Yes,
00:36:43Laura.
00:36:44There's something
00:36:45you should know.
00:36:47Is,
00:36:47is this about
00:36:49Ben?
00:36:50Because I can
00:36:51assure you
00:36:52that he won't
00:36:53cause any problems.
00:36:54He won't even
00:36:55get past security.
00:36:56Laura,
00:36:58it's not Ben.
00:37:00It's someone else.
00:37:03Someone's causing
00:37:04problems for Shepard group?
00:37:08Yes.
00:37:10Her name is
00:37:11Chloe Duke.
00:37:13She is daughter
00:37:14of the Duke family.
00:37:15She's my
00:37:17ex-fiancee.
00:37:20And, uh,
00:37:21let's say
00:37:22things didn't
00:37:23end so well
00:37:24between us.
00:37:25And,
00:37:26let's just say
00:37:29we didn't
00:37:29end things so well.
00:37:32And,
00:37:33for some reason,
00:37:34she's having
00:37:35a hard time
00:37:36moving on.
00:37:38And,
00:37:39you think that
00:37:41she's gonna
00:37:41cause
00:37:42problems
00:37:43at the meeting
00:37:43for,
00:37:44out of
00:37:48jealousy?
00:37:51There's a possibility.
00:37:53She's kind of jealous.
00:37:55Well,
00:37:56all the more reason
00:37:58for you to be there.
00:38:00Besides,
00:38:01I'll be there too.
00:38:05Laura,
00:38:06would you consider
00:38:09being
00:38:09my guest
00:38:10at the meeting?
00:38:11What?
00:38:13Are you worried
00:38:14that this Chloe
00:38:14is gonna cause
00:38:15problems for me too?
00:38:17Maybe a little.
00:38:18But mostly,
00:38:20I wanna show them
00:38:21we're team.
00:38:22Well,
00:38:23it's a very
00:38:24kind offer,
00:38:25Mr. Shepard.
00:38:28Laura,
00:38:28I don't care
00:38:33about your best.
00:38:35I just want
00:38:36to be by your side.
00:38:37I think
00:38:38I'm falling
00:38:38for you.
00:38:43Ryan.
00:38:49I,
00:38:49I appreciate
00:38:50your honesty
00:38:52and right now
00:38:53I,
00:38:54I'm just not,
00:38:55I,
00:38:56I just don't really
00:38:57have romance
00:38:58on my mind
00:38:59right now.
00:39:00Just,
00:39:00with everything
00:39:01going on
00:39:02and going on.
00:39:03It's okay.
00:39:04I just want
00:39:06to be up front.
00:39:08And if
00:39:09Gletcher is
00:39:09anything,
00:39:11you won't
00:39:11face her alone.
00:39:15There's just
00:39:16one thing
00:39:17I do need.
00:39:20What is it?
00:39:22A formal dress.
00:39:23Oh,
00:39:36security.
00:39:37She doesn't
00:39:37belong here.
00:39:38This is a private
00:39:39store.
00:39:40Excuse me.
00:39:41We need
00:39:42some assistance.
00:39:43I'm looking

00:39:50beautiful.
00:39:51It is.
00:39:52I'll try
00:39:53this one on.
00:39:54Don't bother
00:39:55with her.
00:39:55She can't
00:39:56afford anything
00:39:57here.
00:39:57She's just
00:39:58a cleaner.
00:39:58She doesn't
00:39:59deserve to
00:39:59shop you.
00:40:00She has
00:40:00no money.
00:40:03Yeah,
00:40:04exactly.
00:40:04I mean,
00:40:05what are you
00:40:05doing here?
00:40:06Can't you
00:40:06just leave

00:40:21show some
00:40:22respect.
00:40:24Typical

00:40:26she wants
00:40:26with someone
00:40:27else's money.
00:40:28I would

00:40:29you,
00:40:29but without
00:40:30me,
00:40:30I'm sure
00:40:31you're

00:40:32broke.
00:40:32Oh,
00:40:32please.
00:40:33Come on,
00:40:33we'll take
00:40:33the dress.
00:40:34Sir,
00:40:35this particular
00:40:35dress is

00:40:38What do you
00:40:39mean you
00:40:39don't sell
00:40:39it?
00:40:40I want
00:40:41it.
00:40:41Name
00:40:42your price.
00:40:42It's
00:40:43not about
00:40:43the price,
00:40:44ma'am.
00:40:44This one
00:40:45was custom
00:40:45made for
00:40:46Miss Lewis,
00:40:46the Lewis
00:40:47Group heiress.
00:40:48The entire
00:40:48brand belongs
00:40:49to her.
00:40:50This beautiful
00:40:50dress is for
00:40:52display purposes
00:40:52only.
00:40:54It wouldn't
00:40:55suit you
00:40:55anyway,
00:40:56Amber.
00:40:56What are you
00:40:57talking about?
00:40:58Of course it
00:40:58would suit her,
00:40:59it'd fit her
00:40:59just fine.
00:41:00And if it
00:41:01wouldn't fit me,
00:41:01it certainly
00:41:02wouldn't fit your
00:41:03chunky self either.
00:41:04Well,
00:41:05buying the whole
00:41:06store,
00:41:06allow me to
00:41:07purchase this

00:41:14know that
00:41:14this store
00:41:14belongs to
00:41:15Lewis Group?
00:41:16We wouldn't
00:41:16sell it to
00:41:17someone like
00:41:17you.
00:41:18Amber,
00:41:18you're not
00:41:19even a
00:41:19branch manager
00:41:20yet.
00:41:21You don't
00:41:21get to
00:41:21speak on

00:41:23Could you

00:41:33hand-stitched

00:41:35naturally,
00:41:36and apparently
00:41:36there are
00:41:36many more
00:41:37like it.
00:41:37This is

00:41:47Of course.

00:41:50I'm just
00:41:51here to

00:41:53Oh,

00:42:00not for

00:42:00can't I
00:42:01at least
00:42:01try it
00:42:01on?
00:42:02It would
00:42:02look
00:42:03incredible
00:42:03on me.
00:42:04Miss,
00:42:04this dress
00:42:05is very
00:42:06delicate.
00:42:07If I
00:42:07may be
00:42:08frank,
00:42:09I don't
00:42:09think this
00:42:10would fit
00:42:10you
00:42:11properly.
00:42:12Are you
00:42:12calling me
00:42:12fat?
00:42:13Actually,
00:42:14on a second
00:42:14thought,
00:42:16why don't we
00:42:16just buy
00:42:17the whole
00:42:17brand?
00:42:18How's that
00:42:19sound?
00:42:19Sir,
00:42:19are you
00:42:20serious?
00:42:20You would
00:42:21just buy
00:42:21the entire
00:42:22brand for
00:42:23one dress?
00:42:24This brand
00:42:25is worth
00:42:25at least
00:42:25$50 million.
00:42:27And to
00:42:28buy it
00:42:28for a
00:42:29waitress?
00:42:30Are you
00:42:31out of your
00:42:31mind?
00:42:31Yes.
00:42:32You see,
00:42:33even if you
00:42:33had the
00:42:34money,
00:42:34they wouldn't
00:42:35sell it

00:43:54of course.
00:43:55Absolutely.
00:43:59The store,
00:44:00along with
00:44:00the entire
00:44:01brand,
00:44:01has been
00:44:02sold to
00:44:02Mr. Shepard.
00:44:03The Shepard Group

00:44:05owner.
00:44:06How may I be
00:44:06upstairs today,
00:44:07sir?
00:44:08Well,
00:44:09Lauren,
00:44:10I don't know much
00:44:11about pressure.
00:44:12So I would like to
00:44:12give you this brand
00:44:13to you.
00:44:14You can't be
00:44:15serious.
00:44:16You don't have
00:44:17the kind of money
00:44:17to buy this store.
00:44:18Don't listen to her,
00:44:20Brian.
00:44:22You two just go do
00:44:23whatever you do
00:44:24somewhere else.
00:44:25You're not welcome
00:44:26here.
00:44:26I want the two of
00:44:27these out of my
00:44:28store.
00:44:32I want the two of
00:44:34these out of my
00:44:35store.
00:44:35Of course.
00:44:38Oh, come on.
00:44:39Sir?
00:44:40Ma'am?
00:44:40You're afraid I have to
00:44:41ask you to leave?
00:44:42Well, we're not
00:44:42leaving, okay?
00:44:43Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:44This isn't over,
00:44:46Laura!
00:44:47Could I try the
00:44:47dress on now?
00:44:48Of course,
00:44:49Miss Lewis.
00:44:50You just follow me.
00:44:57Wow.
00:44:59Miss Lewis,
00:45:01this dress really
00:45:02was made for you.
00:45:05Laura,
00:45:06you look
00:45:07breathtaking
00:45:08in distress.
00:45:09Brian,
00:45:10why would you do
00:45:12all of this?
00:45:14For me?
00:45:16Laura.
00:45:19Because you deserve
00:45:20everything beautiful
00:45:21in the world.
00:45:23And that includes
00:45:24this dress.
00:45:28Will you give us a
00:45:29chance to see
00:45:30where things could go?
00:45:32I...
00:45:32I need a moment.
00:45:35Perhaps we could
00:45:36talk some more about
00:45:37this after the
00:45:39investment meeting?
00:45:41Does that mean
00:45:42you could be a yes?
00:45:43maybe.
00:45:50Hi.
00:45:58Hi.
00:46:01What?
00:46:03Well, well, well.
00:46:05Look who decided to
00:46:06join the party.
00:46:07Playing dress-up again,
00:46:09Laura?
00:46:09One more
00:46:10disrespectful remark
00:46:11towards Laura,
00:46:12Miss Smith.
00:46:12And you understand
00:46:13the meaning of rude.
00:46:15You threatening
00:46:15my girlfriend
00:46:16in front of everyone
00:46:17for this,
00:46:18Miss Gold Digger.
00:46:20You know, Ben,
00:46:21I really cared about you
00:46:23even after all
00:46:24the horrible things
00:46:25you said to me
00:46:25after our divorce.
00:46:27I know the name
00:46:28of a great
00:46:28psychologist in New York.
00:46:30Maybe the shrinks
00:46:31in Maplewood
00:46:32aren't equipped
00:46:34to deal with
00:46:35your issues.
00:46:36Enough!
00:46:37I've had enough
00:46:38of this drama.
00:46:39Yeah, me too.
00:46:40Try that again
00:46:41and you'll regret it.
00:46:43Now, get the hell
00:46:44out of my face.
00:46:46Let's see if you two
00:46:47even make it
00:46:47past the door.
00:46:48Yeah.
00:46:50I'm sorry, Miss Smith,
00:46:52but your name's
00:46:53not on the guest list.
00:46:54What?
00:46:54That's impossible.
00:46:55I was invited
00:46:57by the CEO himself.
00:47:01Unfortunately,
00:47:02neither Harrison Group
00:47:03or Smith Group.
00:47:04The name is on the list.
00:47:06Looks like you two
00:47:07won't be getting let in
00:47:08after all.
00:47:10You don't have
00:47:10an invitation.
00:47:12You're just here
00:47:12because of Brian.
00:47:17Let me see this.
00:47:18This doesn't even
00:47:19look real.
00:47:19It's different from mine.
00:47:21Why don't you ask her
00:47:22if it's real?
00:47:25This appears to be
00:47:27a VIP invitation
00:47:28from the vice president.
00:47:30Please, write this letter.
00:47:32We can continue
00:47:33this discussion later.
00:47:35If you manage to get in.
00:47:40Sir, madam,
00:47:42we recommend you leave.
00:47:45There you are!
00:47:47How dare you
00:47:47steal my fiancée!
00:47:51There you are!
00:47:53How dare you
00:47:53steal my fiancée!
00:47:54Looks like another
00:47:56relationship
00:47:56fights the dust, Laura.
00:47:58Looks like stealing men
00:48:00is a hobby of yours.
00:48:01Get away from him!
00:48:03He's engaged to me!
00:48:04Hey, hey, hey.
00:48:05Hold your horses, Clay.
00:48:06That ended
00:48:07a long time ago.
00:48:08Engaged to you.
00:48:10Everyone in Maplewood
00:48:12knows what you did
00:48:13to Brian.
00:48:14Your relationship's
00:48:14history.
00:48:17That was just
00:48:17a little tiff.
00:48:18You really think
00:48:19that could tear us apart?
00:48:20Don't you know
00:48:22who I am?
00:48:24Don't pretend
00:48:24like you don't know.
00:48:26Oh, honey.
00:48:27She don't recognize royalty,
00:48:29let alone a duke.
00:48:30She's just a maid,
00:48:31remember?
00:48:32I don't have time
00:48:33for all this drama.
00:48:35Brian?
00:48:37Let's head inside.
00:48:39Brian!
00:48:40How could you choose
00:48:41this cleaner
00:48:42over me?
00:48:43Are you really
00:48:45going to humiliate me
00:48:46in front of all
00:48:46of Maplewood?
00:48:47There's nothing
00:48:48left to say,
00:48:48Gloria.
00:48:49Don't make this
00:48:50a scene.
00:48:51Shall we?
00:48:58You okay,
00:48:59Miss Duke?
00:49:00And you are?
00:49:02Amber Smith.
00:49:03I'm the Maplewood
00:49:04Branch Manager
00:49:05of Lewis Group.
00:49:06Not Branch.
00:49:07I've never heard of it.
00:49:08What do you want
00:49:09from me?
00:49:09That Laura!
00:49:11She tore up
00:49:12my invitation.
00:49:13Do you think
00:49:13you can get me inside?
00:49:14What, your little
00:49:15manager title
00:49:16couldn't get you
00:49:16past the front door?
00:49:18Please don't
00:49:19waste my time.
00:49:46If I can't have
00:49:52Brian,
00:49:53neither can you.
00:49:55The Duke family
00:49:56has more influence
00:49:57than you think.
00:49:59Chloe!
00:50:00Good to see you.
00:50:01I've been expecting you.
00:50:02Uncle Jones,
00:50:03how are you?
00:50:04Good.
00:50:06I need your help
00:50:07with something.
00:50:08What is it?
00:50:09Anything for my
00:50:10little Chloe.
00:50:11It's Brian.
00:50:13Who's that
00:50:14woman?
00:50:15I thought you were...
00:50:16She's a con woman.
00:50:18She actually used
00:50:19to be a cleaner
00:50:19in his company.
00:50:21What?
00:50:22Are you saying
00:50:23Brian left
00:50:24you for
00:50:25a cleaner?
00:50:27Well, she's
00:50:27pretending to be
00:50:28a Lewis to get
00:50:29close to him.
00:50:31What are you
00:50:32planning?
00:50:33I want to
00:50:34destroy
00:50:34Shepard Group.
00:50:35Anyway,
00:50:40I'm
00:50:40terribly
00:50:41sorry about
00:50:41Chloe.
00:50:43I had no idea
00:50:44she would be so
00:50:45intense.
00:50:50What do you
00:50:50mean?
00:50:51You
00:50:52so should have
00:50:53taken her up
00:50:53on her offer.
00:50:54I mean,
00:50:54you guys are just
00:50:55power couple.
00:50:58I see

00:51:02Power couple,

00:51:04More like a
00:51:05disaster
00:51:06waiting to
00:51:07happen.
00:51:09Anyway,
00:51:10shall we
00:51:10take a seat?
00:51:11Actually,
00:51:12Brian,
00:51:12my seat
00:51:14is
00:51:14up there.
00:51:18Really?
00:51:19She doesn't
00:51:20deserve to

00:51:21Excuse me.
00:51:22This is
00:51:23my VIP invitation.
00:51:24I can
00:51:26sit

00:51:28Hey,
00:51:28what do you
00:51:29think you're
00:51:29doing?
00:51:30This is
00:51:31signed by
00:51:31all three
00:51:32VPs of
00:51:32Lewis Group.
00:51:33Where did
00:51:34you get
00:51:34this?
00:51:36Who did
00:51:36you have to
00:51:36sleep with?
00:51:37That's
00:51:38enough.
00:51:40This is
00:51:40getting us
00:51:41nowhere.
00:51:42Laura is
00:51:43my guest,

00:51:45not tolerate
00:51:45any kind
00:51:47of disrespect
00:51:48towards her.
00:51:49Got it?

00:51:55Miss Duke
00:51:55is a
00:51:56perfect
00:51:56match
00:51:56for you.
00:51:57She's
00:51:57from a
00:51:58good
00:51:58family,
00:51:59beautiful,
00:52:00and
00:52:00successful.
00:52:02What more
00:52:02could you
00:52:02ask for?
00:52:03That's
00:52:04a good
00:52:04question.
00:52:05Not
00:52:06much,
00:52:06actually.
00:52:08Honesty?
00:52:10That's
00:52:10what I
00:52:11want.
00:52:12And
00:52:13love.
00:52:14Things
00:52:14that are
00:52:14clearly,
00:52:15Chloe has
00:52:16no idea.
00:52:17I said
00:52:17I was
00:52:18sorry.
00:52:19What
00:52:20more
00:52:20do
00:52:20you
00:52:20want?
00:52:21I've
00:52:21watched
00:52:22Chloe
00:52:22grow up.
00:52:23She's
00:52:23like a
00:52:23daughter to
00:52:24me.
00:52:25I won't
00:52:26allow her to
00:52:26be spoken to
00:52:27like that.
00:52:31One more
00:52:32chance,
00:52:33Brian.
00:52:33Let's
00:52:34forget all
00:52:34this nonsense.
00:52:36Do it,
00:52:37Mr.
00:52:37Shepard.
00:52:38Propose right
00:52:39here,
00:52:39right now.
00:52:42Brian?
00:52:45Is this
00:52:46how the Duke
00:52:47family handles
00:52:48business deals?
00:52:48by forcing a
00:52:51ring on
00:52:52someone?
00:52:53Do it,
00:52:54or you can
00:52:54kiss goodbye
00:52:55all future
00:52:55investments
00:52:56with the Duke
00:52:57family.
00:53:02Don't you dare.
00:53:04You're humiliating
00:53:05yourself.
00:53:07Dare you?
00:53:08Do you really
00:53:08like this
00:53:09nobody from
00:53:10nowhere?
00:53:11Yes.
00:53:13I like it.
00:53:14but I can't
00:53:16imagine someone
00:53:17like her
00:53:18interesting
00:53:18in me.
00:53:21The truth
00:53:22is I
00:53:23wouldn't be
00:53:23here where
00:53:24I am today
00:53:25without her.
00:53:27Why would you
00:53:27choose someone
00:53:28like her?
00:53:28exactly.
00:53:31This woman
00:53:31is Trevor.
00:53:32She doesn't
00:53:32belong here.
00:53:33Throw her out!
00:53:35You do
00:53:35realize that
00:53:36there is no
00:53:37investment
00:53:38meeting without
00:53:38me?
00:53:40Interesting
00:53:40turn of
00:53:41events.
00:53:42Perhaps
00:53:43it's time
00:53:43we shed
00:53:44some light
00:53:44on your
00:53:45mysterious
00:53:45past.
00:53:46Do you
00:53:47actually think
00:53:48that just
00:53:49because you
00:53:49have the
00:53:49name
00:53:50Laura
00:53:50that you're
00:53:51the missing
00:53:52heiress
00:53:52Laura Lewis?
00:53:56You know
00:53:56what?
00:53:57Maybe you're
00:53:57right,
00:53:57Chloe.
00:53:58How
00:53:59ridiculous.
00:54:00Is that
00:54:01what you've
00:54:01been telling
00:54:01everyone?
00:54:02I'm sure
00:54:03that the
00:54:04Duke family
00:54:05still values
00:54:06cooperation
00:54:07but wow
00:54:09did I
00:54:10underestimate
00:54:10your foolishness
00:54:12Chloe.
00:54:13You have
00:54:13no right
00:54:14to talk
00:54:14to Miss
00:54:15Duke
00:54:15like that.
00:54:16That's
00:54:16enough.
00:54:17You don't
00:54:17get to
00:54:18talk here.
00:54:19You got
00:54:19mad shepherd.
00:54:20You dare
00:54:20to go
00:54:20against Miss
00:54:21Duke.
00:54:22And the
00:54:22same applies
00:54:22to everyone
00:54:23else here.
00:54:24Anyone
00:54:24who insults
00:54:25Laura.
00:54:26leaves with
00:54:28a black
00:54:28guy.
00:54:29It's
00:54:29willing to
00:54:29offend the
00:54:30chick for
00:54:30her.
00:54:31What kind
00:54:31of charm
00:54:32does she

00:56:23Wow.
00:56:25Award-winning
00:56:25performance,
00:56:27Laura.
00:56:27But you
00:56:28can't
00:56:28possibly
00:56:29control
00:56:29the stock.
00:56:30Want to
00:56:31put your
00:56:32money where
00:56:33your mouth
00:56:33is,
00:56:33Chloe?
00:56:35If
00:56:35the shepherd
00:56:37stock
00:56:38holds
00:56:38for the
00:56:40next
00:56:41five
00:56:42minutes,
00:56:43you
00:56:45owe me
00:56:45a public
00:56:46apology.
00:56:52Do.
00:56:57Well,
00:56:58looks like
00:56:59your five
00:57:00minutes
00:57:01is up.
00:57:02Let's see
00:57:03how the
00:57:03shepherd's
00:57:03stock
00:57:04is still
00:57:04in.
00:57:09What the?
00:57:10Does shepherd
00:57:11group stock
00:57:11prices?
00:57:12It's going
00:57:13up!
00:57:14This can't be
00:57:15happening.
00:57:15It must be a
00:57:16coincidence.
00:57:22Why didn't you
00:57:23short the stock
00:57:24like I asked?
00:57:25There was a huge
00:57:26investment.
00:57:27We couldn't
00:57:27compete.
00:57:28Shepherd's
00:57:28stock price is
00:57:29being heavily
00:57:30supported.
00:57:30How did
00:57:32you do
00:57:33this?
00:57:34Like I
00:57:34said,
00:57:35Chloe,
00:57:36I'm
00:57:38Laura
00:57:39Lewis.
00:57:40No,
00:57:40you're not.
00:57:41You're just
00:57:41some cleaner.
00:57:42You don't
00:57:42have access
00:57:43to billions.
00:57:45Well,
00:57:46I think
00:57:47it's time
00:57:47for my
00:57:48apology.
00:57:54No,
00:57:55I think
00:57:56it's time
00:57:56for my
00:57:57apology.
00:57:57There is
00:57:58no way
00:57:58I'm
00:57:58apologizing
00:57:59to you.
00:58:00If things
00:58:01were the
00:58:01other way,
00:58:01would you
00:58:02be so
00:58:02quick to
00:58:03forgive me?
00:58:04Chloe,
00:58:05the truth
00:58:05is everyone
00:58:08here has
00:58:10seen you
00:58:10be a bully
00:58:11and a
00:58:12coward and
00:58:14now a
00:58:15sore
00:58:16loser.
00:58:18This is so
00:58:19humiliating for
00:58:20her.
00:58:21How did
00:58:21she manage
00:58:22that?
00:58:23Maybe she
00:58:23really is a
00:58:24Lewis.
00:58:25Apologize
00:58:26to Miss
00:58:26Lewis.
00:58:27Shut up.
00:58:29Don't you
00:58:29talk about
00:58:30Miss Duke
00:58:30like that.
00:58:32Don't forget
00:58:32the Duke
00:58:33family owned
00:58:34half of
00:58:34Maplewood.
00:58:35There you go,
00:58:35Liz,
00:58:36Edwards.
00:58:37Let's get
00:58:37out of here.
00:58:39Hold on.
00:58:41This is where
00:58:43I belong.
00:58:44And that
00:58:45is my
00:58:47chair.
00:58:48You can't
00:58:49go there.
00:58:49That is the
00:58:49VIP section.
00:58:51Only those
00:58:52invited by the
00:58:53Lewis Group
00:58:53Vice Presidents
00:58:54get to sit
00:58:55there.
00:58:55Like I
00:58:56said,
00:58:57Chloe,
00:58:58that's my
00:58:59seat.
00:59:05Had a
00:59:06rumor floating
00:59:07around a few
00:59:07days ago.
00:59:08Seems Miss
00:59:09Lewis caused
00:59:10quite a scene
00:59:11at a signing
00:59:12ceremony between
00:59:13her ex and
00:59:14Mr.
00:59:15Shepard,
00:59:16wasn't it?
00:59:17Are you
00:59:17planning another
00:59:18outburst,
00:59:19Laura?
00:59:19Is this how
00:59:20you charm
00:59:20all your men?
00:59:22Shall we?
00:59:22My pleasure.
00:59:25What are you
00:59:26doing?
00:59:27Let go.
00:59:29It doesn't
00:59:29matter what
00:59:29happens.
00:59:30I choose to
00:59:31stay by Laura's
00:59:31side.
00:59:33Let's go.
00:59:35Don't be
00:59:36absurd.
00:59:36That seat is
00:59:37reserved for a
00:59:38very important
00:59:38guest.
00:59:40Someone so
00:59:41esteemed,
00:59:42even the
00:59:43Vice Presidents
00:59:43have to bow
00:59:44low.
00:59:47And how
00:59:49exactly,
00:59:50Mr.
00:59:51Jones?
00:59:52Are you
00:59:53so sure
00:59:53that I'm
00:59:54not that
00:59:55esteemed
00:59:55guest?
00:59:56Wait,
00:59:57that's
00:59:57Peter Young,
00:59:58director of
00:59:58business
00:59:59affairs at
00:59:59Lewis Group.
01:00:04Ask Peter
01:00:05Young.
01:00:05He decides
01:00:06which
01:00:06investigation
01:00:06is her name.
01:00:07It's
01:00:07Chloe Duke,
01:00:08head of Duke
01:00:09Industries.
01:00:10So glad you
01:00:10could join us.
01:00:11Why is everyone
01:00:11standing around?
01:00:12It's her.
01:00:14She's making
01:00:14a huge scene
01:00:15trying to claim
01:00:15the VIP seat.
01:00:17It's embarrassing.
01:00:18That seat's
01:00:19reserved for the
01:00:20Lewis Group
01:00:20VIP guest.
01:00:21specifically the
01:00:23family heir.
01:00:24Please get
01:00:24off the stage.
01:00:26Oh, yes.
01:00:28Mr. Young,
01:00:29was it?
01:00:30I think I
01:00:30remember you.
01:00:31You manage
01:00:32my family's
01:00:33investments.
01:00:35Don't pretend
01:00:36like you know
01:00:37what's going on.
01:00:38Please get
01:00:39off the stage.
01:00:40That seat's
01:00:40reserved for the
01:00:41Lewis family heir.
01:00:42I need to
01:00:43make one thing
01:00:44crystal clear.
01:00:50I
01:00:50am the heir
01:00:53of the
01:00:54Lewis family.
01:00:58This is ridiculous.
01:01:00You,
01:01:01the Lewis heir.
01:01:02Don't you know
01:01:03that Miss Lewis
01:01:03is a legend
01:01:04around here?
01:01:05You must be
01:01:06out of your mind
01:01:06trusting a complete
01:01:07stranger like this.
01:01:08Exactly.
01:01:09We ran a
01:01:10background check
01:01:10on her and
01:01:11turns out she's
01:01:12just some cleaner
01:01:13that used to
01:01:14work for the
01:01:14Harrison Group.
01:01:15Before that,
01:01:16a cashier in my
01:01:17family's supermarket.
01:01:19See, Brian?
01:01:20This is who you've
01:01:21been chasing after.
01:01:22A liar and a cheat.
01:01:24Security,
01:01:25get this imposter
01:01:26out of here.
01:01:27And everyone
01:01:27here is a witness.
01:01:29Why would
01:01:29any of you
01:01:30trust Laura?
01:01:32If any of you
01:01:33dares to harm her,
01:01:35you have to
01:01:36go through me
01:01:37first.
01:01:38Brian,
01:01:39she's just
01:01:39a nobody.
01:01:41She's just
01:01:42someone that
01:01:42the Harrison Group
01:01:43ditched.
01:01:44They didn't even
01:01:45want her.
01:01:46What exactly
01:01:46do you see in her?
01:01:48Escort this
01:01:48imposter out of here.
01:01:49Now.
01:01:51I'm Peter.
01:01:59Peter,
01:02:00do you have
01:02:01any idea
01:02:02what you're doing?
01:02:03Mr. Yates.
01:02:05I'm so glad
01:02:05you could join us.
01:02:08Miss Lewis,
01:02:10sorry about the delay
01:02:11and for all the
01:02:12trouble you've
01:02:13had to put up with.
01:02:14It's no
01:02:15trouble,
01:02:16Mr. Yates.
01:02:17Luckily,
01:02:17I haven't been alone.
01:02:19I've had the
01:02:20great company
01:02:20of my very
01:02:21loyal
01:02:22friend.
01:02:25Wait a minute.
01:02:26She's Miss Lewis.
01:02:27Is this a joke?
01:02:29Mr. Young,
01:02:30you're new
01:02:31to the Lewis Group,
01:02:32so I can understand
01:02:33why you wouldn't
01:02:34recognize Miss Lewis.
01:02:36But you listened
01:02:37to lies without
01:02:38checking the facts
01:02:38and almost
01:02:41called the police.
01:02:43Tell me,
01:02:45Mr. Young,
01:02:45who put you
01:02:46up to this?
01:02:48Was it my
01:02:48uncle,
01:02:49Ian Lewis?
01:02:53I knew it.
01:02:54consider this your
01:02:58termination.
01:03:01I get it now.
01:03:02This is all
01:03:03an act,
01:03:04right?
01:03:05Chloe,
01:03:05what are you doing?
01:03:06We still want to work
01:03:06with the Lewis family.
01:03:07Work with them?
01:03:08Are you blind?
01:03:09This woman is clearly
01:03:10having an affair
01:03:11with this old man.
01:03:13That's enough,
01:03:13young lady.
01:03:14You've got no right
01:03:16to disrespect the head
01:03:16of the Lewis Group.
01:03:17Oh,
01:03:18Chloe,
01:03:21I can't believe
01:03:21we're going through
01:03:22this again.
01:03:23I think you need
01:03:24some professional
01:03:25help.
01:03:27Maybe I could make
01:03:27you an appointment
01:03:28with a great psychiatrist.
01:03:29Chloe,
01:03:30that's enough.
01:03:31It's ridiculous.
01:03:32If you were really
01:03:33the Lewis family heir,
01:03:34you would have the ring.
01:03:35So why don't you
01:03:36show it to everyone?
01:03:37Show us the ring!
01:03:42Why don't you
01:03:42show that to everyone?
01:03:44Show us the ring!
01:03:46Show us the ring!
01:03:46Who are you
01:03:48to make demands of me?
01:03:50I don't answer
01:03:51to anyone but myself.
01:03:54I don't need
01:03:55any of your validation.
01:04:00Oh,
01:04:00the ring!
01:04:05Vice Presidents,
01:04:06I'm Chloe Duke
01:04:08of the Duke family.
01:04:09This woman is an imposter!
01:04:11Miss Lewis,
01:04:12we apologise
01:04:13for the delay.
01:04:15How could you just
01:04:15let that con woman
01:04:16sit there?
01:04:17Get her out of here!
01:04:18This seat was always
01:04:19for Miss Lewis.
01:04:21She's the special guest
01:04:23we've been waiting for.
01:04:25The investment queen.
01:04:27The real heir
01:04:28to Lewis Group.
01:04:30Laura Lewis.
01:04:31She was a divorced
01:04:32hostwife.
01:04:33A janitor.
01:04:34How can she?
01:04:35She can't be.
01:04:35It's a lie,
01:04:36I'm telling you.
01:04:37It's a lie.
01:04:38Do you think we'd lie?
01:04:40We run Lewis Group.
01:04:41Oh,
01:04:43Chloe,
01:04:44you assaulted me
01:04:45earlier.
01:04:47And you came to this meeting
01:04:49to what?
01:04:50Sabotage it.
01:04:52You'll be hearing
01:04:53from our legal team.
01:04:54Is this true,
01:04:58Miss Duke?
01:04:59Did you try and sabotage
01:05:00this meeting?
01:05:03Yes,
01:05:03it's all true.
01:05:04She fooled us all.
01:05:06The Duke tricked us
01:05:07to keep
01:05:08Lewis Group
01:05:08out of Maplewood
01:05:10and control
01:05:10everything themselves.
01:05:12I had no idea.
01:05:14But I'm on your side.
01:05:16I can give you
01:05:17everything you need.
01:05:18All the resources
01:05:19in Maplewood.
01:05:20Miss Lewis,
01:05:21how would you like us
01:05:22to deal with this?
01:05:24An eye
01:05:25for an eye.
01:05:29Since
01:05:29Miss Duke
01:05:31here
01:05:32loves
01:05:33ruining things,
01:05:35I'll target
01:05:36her precious
01:05:37Duke
01:05:38Industries.
01:05:40I want them
01:05:41bankrupt
01:05:42in ten minutes.
01:05:44You're bluffing.
01:05:45You're nobody.
01:05:46You'll always be a nobody.
01:05:48And you can't
01:05:49touch me.
01:05:50Then,
01:05:50consider this
01:05:51a test,
01:05:53Chloe.
01:05:54I didn't need
01:05:55my family's support
01:05:56with Shepard
01:05:56and I certainly
01:05:58don't even know.
01:05:58Chloe,
01:06:00you dug your own grave.
01:06:02You think
01:06:02you can destroy
01:06:04Maplewood's leading
01:06:05family with just
01:06:05the Shepard group?
01:06:07Please.
01:06:08Hmm.
01:06:10We'll see.
01:06:16Dad?
01:06:18Slow down.
01:06:19What are you talking
01:06:20about?
01:06:22No.
01:06:24It's impossible.
01:06:26Chloe,
01:06:26what have you done?
01:06:28Years of hard work.
01:06:29Destroyed in minutes.
01:06:34What did you do?
01:06:37Well,
01:06:38Chloe,
01:06:39isn't this what you wanted?
01:06:41To give me a little taste
01:06:43of destruction?
01:06:43This is impossible.
01:06:46It's impossible.
01:06:48Chloe,
01:06:49what have you done?
01:06:51The news is everywhere.
01:06:53Shepard's launched a full-scale
01:06:54of SOB on the stock market.
01:06:56They're hammering our shares.
01:06:58Are you sure it's just Shepard's?
01:07:00Yes!
01:07:01Shareholders are dumping our stock
01:07:03like it's a hot potato.
01:07:05We could go bankrupt.
01:07:06You've ruined everything.
01:07:08Don't worry,
01:07:09Mr. Duke.
01:07:09When your company
01:07:11does go bankrupt,
01:07:13I'll buy it.
01:07:14At a fire sale price.
01:07:15Your employees
01:07:16won't even be affected.
01:07:17Brilliant.
01:07:18A master's job,
01:07:19Miss Lewis.
01:07:21Now,
01:07:22this
01:07:23is my event.
01:07:26Please leave.
01:07:27Brian,
01:07:27I did this for us.
01:07:29Everything I did,
01:07:30I did for us, Brian.
01:07:34Chloe,
01:07:34you need help.
01:07:36These feelings you have
01:07:38for me,
01:07:39it's not love.
01:07:41It's obsession.
01:07:43Enough.
01:07:45If you don't want to ruin
01:07:46everything completely,
01:07:47you'll come with me
01:07:48right now.
01:07:50Right now.
01:07:52No!
01:07:52No!
01:07:54No!
01:07:58No!
01:07:59No!
01:08:00No!
01:08:00No!
01:08:00No!
01:08:00No!
01:08:00No!
01:08:01No!
01:08:01No!
01:08:01No!
01:08:01No!
01:08:01No!
01:08:01No!
01:08:02No!
01:08:02No!
01:08:02No!
01:08:02No!
01:08:03No!
01:08:03No!
01:08:03No!
01:08:03No!
01:08:04No!
01:08:04No!
01:08:04No!
01:08:05No!
01:08:05No!
01:08:06No!
01:08:06No!
01:08:10What is going on here?
01:08:10Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:08:13Shepard Group.
01:08:14They're the new partner
01:08:15that's partnering up with
01:08:16Lewis Group for Maplewood.
01:08:18They're handling all future
01:08:19construction projects.
01:08:20That can't be.
01:08:22What about us?
01:08:23That was our project.
01:08:24Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.
01:08:27Harrison Group is practically out.
01:08:29We have no chance.
01:08:30We can't give up that easily.
01:08:32Remember,
01:08:33Ian Lewis himself appointed me
01:08:35as general manager.
01:08:36In a few days he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.
01:08:39You're right.
01:08:40If we can just meet with a new heir, we can bypass the Shepards and meet directly with the
01:08:45Lewis Group.
01:08:46We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.
01:08:49He's right.
01:08:50That's right.
01:08:51Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.
01:09:01I'm sure I've met you.
01:09:03Mr. Shepard, finally a pleasure to meet you.
01:09:06We've looked into your company's financial review.
01:09:10Very impressive.
01:09:12Thank you, bud.
01:09:13A large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.
01:09:17No.
01:09:17She practically saved me from disaster three times over now.
01:09:22Brian, you can just call me Laura.
01:09:25Ms. Lewis' recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.
01:09:30Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:09:32Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is gone.
01:09:36Seized.
01:09:38A woman like Laura is not easy to find.
01:09:41Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice-President.
01:09:51Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:09:53Laura?
01:09:54Hardly.
01:09:55I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.
01:10:02So you're Laura's uncle?
01:10:04In the flesh.
01:10:05So Laura really is your niece?
01:10:08Yes.
01:10:09Little Laura.
01:10:12She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.
01:10:16Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.
01:10:19I think he was a Harrison.
01:10:21Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side.
01:10:24Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?
01:10:28And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?
01:10:31If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:10:35Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Miss Duke.
01:10:38We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:10:42What if I, what if I fail?
01:10:44My family is already ruined.
01:10:46Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say.
01:10:49But, if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family will get back everything you've lost.
01:10:57Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side. How can I possibly get the ring?
01:11:01There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly.
01:11:11Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:11:13Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.
01:11:20Laura.
01:11:21So good to see you.
01:11:22And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps.
01:11:27How have you been?
01:11:29I've been well, Uncle Ian.
01:11:31Thank you for asking.
01:11:32I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.
01:11:36Yes.
01:11:37Kinda been easy.
01:11:38Indeed.
01:11:39Somebody had to.
01:11:40I mean, after you left me with everything to do, without a safe pair of hands, I hate to think what would have happened to the company.
01:11:48Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard, you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.
01:11:56Yes.
01:11:57Minor mistakes.
01:11:58Minor.
01:11:59Don't worry.
01:12:00Uncle Ian, I won't hold it against you.
01:12:03Good.
01:12:04Well, cheers to you coming back here.
01:12:08And the Lewis Group.
01:12:10Oh!
01:12:11I'm so sorry, Laura.
01:12:14How clumsy of me.
01:12:16Uh, no, no worries, Uncle Ian.
01:12:18I, I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.
01:12:22Of course.
01:12:24Right away.
01:12:25Just down to the left.
01:12:26Good.
01:12:32Use it wisely.
01:12:34Oh, I will.
01:12:50Hey, Laura.
01:12:51How's that?
01:12:52Hello Brian.
01:12:53Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:12:56Chloe.
01:12:57How in the hell did you get Laura's phone?
01:13:00Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:13:03Listen, Chloe.
01:13:05Don't hurt her.
01:13:06Please.
01:13:08I'll do anything.
01:13:11Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs.
01:13:14Now.
01:13:16Don't tell anyone.
01:13:18If you want her alive.
01:13:22Well, you certainly do have your ways.
01:13:28Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up.
01:13:29I am sorry.
01:13:30How clumsy.
01:13:31And don't forget your phone.
01:13:32I retrieved it for you.
01:13:35I'm going in.
01:13:36Lovely to see you again.
01:13:37Yeah.
01:13:38I'll see you the day after tomorrow.
01:13:40At the banquet.
01:13:41At the banquet.
01:13:44I'll see you then.
01:13:45Will do.
01:13:46Looking forward to it.
01:13:50Laura!
01:13:51Laura!
01:13:52Where are you?
01:13:53Laura!
01:13:55Laura!
01:13:56Where are you?
01:13:58Laura!
01:13:59Laura, where are you?
01:14:00Laura!
01:14:01Laura!
01:14:02Oh!
01:14:06Gotcha.
01:14:09You weren't expecting that, were you?
01:14:22Finally!
01:14:23Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.
01:14:25What the?
01:14:26Laura, where are you?
01:14:27Laura?
01:14:28Laura!
01:14:29You shut your mouth.
01:14:31Chloe?
01:14:32What have you done?
01:14:33You out of your mind?
01:14:34Out of my mind?
01:14:35You were the one that left me for that tram and destroyed my life!
01:14:39That's not true.
01:14:40You were the one who messed up!
01:14:43Brian!
01:14:44Laura!
01:14:46Stay where you are.
01:14:48You better be not alone.
01:14:50You shot this knife, Chloe.
01:14:52This is insane!
01:14:54Insane?
01:14:55I did this for us, Brian!
01:14:57We were meant to be together!
01:15:00Us?
01:15:01You've gone crazy!
01:15:02And you're out of here!
01:15:04Chloe, kid that thing is a very serious event.
01:15:08They're gonna lock you up for years!
01:15:10You think I care about jail time?
01:15:13All I care about is tearing you two apart!
01:15:16You don't deserve him!
01:15:18What have you done?
01:15:20You've destroyed my life!
01:15:23My company, everything!
01:15:25Now I'm gonna destroy your life!
01:15:28Forgive me!
01:15:29Your family ring now!
01:15:31Give it to me!
01:15:32This is about the ring!
01:15:34Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:15:37You know, Chloe...
01:15:40Trying to kill me...
01:15:42That's foolish!
01:15:44Because who do you think is gonna win?
01:15:47You?
01:15:49That little knife?
01:15:50Or...
01:15:52Me?
01:15:54Something a little bit more persuasive.
01:15:55No!
01:15:56No!
01:15:57No!
01:16:03Freeze!
01:16:05Don't move anyone!
01:16:08Don't move!
01:16:10You're about to be arrested for kidnapping!
01:16:13Miss Lewis?
01:16:15Having fun without me?
01:16:17I'm hurt!
01:16:20Are you hurt?
01:16:21No, I'm okay.
01:16:25Tell me, Chloe...
01:16:27Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:16:30Why should I tell you?
01:16:32You're gonna kill me anyway!
01:16:34Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:16:37But if you don't talk...
01:16:40Your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:16:44Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:47So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:16:49Talk...
01:16:51Or face the consequences.
01:16:53Fine.
01:16:54It was Ian Lewis.
01:16:56He...
01:16:57He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the bank room today.
01:17:02Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:17:04I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:17:08Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:17:11Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:17:20This is crazy.
01:17:25Are we really sure we can do this?
01:17:27All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:17:29Absolutely.
01:17:31The Lewis Group is under new leadership.
01:17:33We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:35Exactly.
01:17:36We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:17:39There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:41You can introduce us, let's go.
01:17:42Yeah.
01:17:45Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:17:46I'm Amber Smith.
01:17:47We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:49This is Ben Harrison from the Harrison Group.
01:17:51How do you do?
01:17:52We're the company that...
01:17:53Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:55Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:17:59Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:18:01Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:18:07Could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:18:11The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:18:14Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:18A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:18:21Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group,
01:18:26Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:27Look, everybody, attention.
01:18:29Attention, please.
01:18:32There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:18:38I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago
01:18:41that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:18:44And tragically, she hasn't made it.
01:18:47She has not survived.
01:18:52What?
01:18:53Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:54It doesn't matter now, she's gone.
01:18:57Mr. Lewis, is this new...
01:18:59A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:19:02But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.
01:19:08Hold on!
01:19:10Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:13Laura!
01:19:14I don't understand.
01:19:20What's happening?
01:19:22Laura?
01:19:23But...
01:19:24Weren't you...
01:19:25My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:19:28There seems to be some...
01:19:30misunderstanding.
01:19:31Laura, what are you doing here?
01:19:33You've got to stop this.
01:19:34If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:19:36I'll save this once.
01:19:38Back off, then.
01:19:44Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:19:47As I'm sure you know, tonight, I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:19:55Perhaps...
01:19:59You could make some room for me.
01:20:02Uncle Ian?
01:20:03Impossible.
01:20:04How are you still alive?
01:20:06Well, clearly I am alive, and well, so...
01:20:09Why don't we get this started?
01:20:10No.
01:20:11You're not the rightful heir.
01:20:14You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:20:18Uncle Ian, is that seriously your archbess that you have, that I got married too quickly?
01:20:23Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger,
01:20:27and left me to work tirelessly, keeping the company together.
01:20:31Uncle Ian, retire.
01:20:33Enjoy your retirement.
01:20:35Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:20:38No.
01:20:39There can only be one heir, and that's me.
01:20:43And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:20:47You think a ring makes an heir?
01:20:49You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:20:54Give that back to me.
01:20:56This.
01:20:57Yes.
01:20:58You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:21:02Give it back.
01:21:04True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you.
01:21:10Not some stupid ring.
01:21:12Oh, my ring?
01:21:13My ring?
01:21:14What have you done? Where is it?
01:21:18My ring?
01:21:20Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.
01:21:23How dare you?
01:21:24Now, let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.
01:21:29What?
01:21:31Talk.
01:21:33Fine.
01:21:35It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:37He said he helped you in distress if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:21:43Oh, quite the spectacle, Miss Lewis.
01:21:46Security, escort him out.
01:21:49And Ian, don't fall over.
01:21:52It's all lies.
01:21:53It's all lies. Fakery.
01:21:54It's fake news.
01:21:55The proof is clear.
01:21:56Get him out of here.
01:21:57I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:22:06It turns out reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:22:12Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr. Shepherd by my side.
01:22:19And he has been a great support.
01:22:22Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:22:29I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:22:35Shepherd Group.
01:22:39What?
01:22:40Laura, hold on.
01:22:41This was never my idea.
01:22:43This was all Cathy and Amber's fault.
01:22:44I don't want a divorce.
01:22:46What?
01:22:47Then what are you saying?
01:22:48You came to me first.
01:22:50Classic Ben.
01:22:51Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.
01:22:55Just don't shut Harrison Group out.
01:22:57Just give me another chance.
01:23:00How could I shut you out?
01:23:02I'm just a cleaner, remember?
01:23:04I'm just a useless housewife.
01:23:07I don't have that power.
01:23:10What are you talking about?
01:23:11What? No, come on. Sorry. No, please, no.
01:23:14Um, Mr. Shepherd?
01:23:16Yes, Miss Lewis.
01:23:18I was wondering if...
01:23:21Maybe you wanted to grab dinner.
01:23:24Sometime.
01:23:26On me.
01:23:28Miss Lewis.
01:23:32I would love to.
