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.
00:00:20Sir, 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 lunchtime.
00:00:45Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:47Excuse 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.
00:00:58But 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.
00:01:17What?
00:01:18This is incredible.
00:01:19What's going on?
00:01:21The 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.
00:01:34We met before.
00:01:35They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:38Hold on.
00:01:39Tell me.
00:01:40How 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.
00:01:52Jason?
00:01:53Can we have five now?
00:01:54Mr. Yates?
00:01:55What?
00:01:56Only two bodyguards this time?
00:01:57You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:01:58No, ma'am.
00:01:59I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:02:08Now, listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Grimmel.
00:02:21Now, listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the law's criminal.
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 and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:36Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything 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.
00:02:45Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:02:51Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house. For my sake.
00:03:06Divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:16Why?
00:03:17You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:19The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract with the 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.
00:03:40You, a cleaning woman, handing out million-dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.
00:03:48I did. It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:54Okay. I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:58What are you doing here?
00:03:59Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:03Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:07Local royalty.
00:04:09A small-town rich person is royalty.
00:04:11And what qualifications do you have to judge, Ms. Cleaner?
00:04:14Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor.
00:04:18Doesn't it, Ben?
00:04:23What's going on?
00:04:25Is 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.
00:04:35Growing apart?
00:04:38No.
00:04:40No, I won't sign any agreement, then.
00:04:45I won't sign.
00:04:46Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:52Ben.
00:04:53All right.
00:04:54Here.
00:04:55$100,000.
00:04:56Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:59$100,000.
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 act of 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.
00:05:58Laura Lewis' information.
00:06:03She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:06:05No wonder why she wanted to part with him.
00:06:07Actually, sir.
00:06:08Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:11Divorce her?
00:06:13Wait a minute.
00:06:15Don't you remember?
00:06:16She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:22Yeah.
00:06:22She's saved our hiding now.
00:06:24Remember?
00:06:26Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a $100 million contract?
00:06:31I don't know.
00:06:33Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:06:37Hey!
00:06:38What are you doing?
00:06:39Let go of me!
00:06:40Who attacked Amber?
00:06:41Apologize this instance!
00:06:43Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:48We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:06:50You refused it.
00:06:51And now you're stealing.
00:06:53She 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, it's really no, no worries, Mr. Shepard, but, um, I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:19You see, it's, uh, who are you?
00:07:21Laura'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.
00:07:40You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:44That'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. Lewis.
00:07:55Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:59Laura, let'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 all right, ma'am.
00:08:08This is none of your business.
00:08:10All brown dead bodies.
00:08:12You're not going anywhere until I tell you 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.
00:08:21Now 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?
00:08:41Let'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.
00:08:52Oh, um, 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, Mr. Shepard.
00:09:11Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:17Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Groups.
00:09:22Business partners, and we're going to have a meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today.
00:09:30Make 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, Ms. Lewis.
00:09:42I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:45Ben, Harrison.
00:09:48You're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:58After 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?
00:10:20You 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.
00:10:33Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:37Laura, 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.
00:10:50This contract is mine.
00:10:58To give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:02Don't be ridiculous.
00:11:03This 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?
00:11:49You'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,
00:12:05I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:12:09You 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.
00:12:17That'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?
00:12:29Is 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.
00:12:43Listen, this contract with Shepard group is 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 behind 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, and you just stand there?
00:13:14You're a disgrace.
00:13:15An adulterer.
00:13:16You deserve to be ar-
00:13:17Shut up.
00:13:20Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess,
00:13:24but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:13:26Tricked?
00:13:27Why don't you answer a question yourself, then?
00:13:32What 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.
00:13:46That's crazy.
00:13:47There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:50That's absurd.
00:13:52It's...
00:13:52It's...
00:13:53It's absurd!
00:13:55A high society heiress 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.
00:14:13How 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, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:23Mm-hmm.
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.
00:14:34She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:37She's lying, Mr. Shepard.
00:14:38She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:41Let's make something clear.
00:14:47I 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.
00:15:01That 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.
00:15:38Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:15:38Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, 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.
00:15:54I 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 over a deal as big as this.
00:16:15A janitor.
00:16:17Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith?
00:16:21Exactly 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.
00:16:37I, but, well...
00:16:40A lie, you're saying.
00:16:41Miss Smith,
00:16:42I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:16:46But 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.
00:16:58But the contract.
00:17:00I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:17:02So can't we just print another one
00:17:04and 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 involved.
00:17:13I wouldn't even consider partnering 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.
00:17:35What?
00:17:36No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:17:37I can explain.
00:17:39Lewis?
00:17:40Lewis family group?
00:17:42This can't be.
00:17:43Believe 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 about who I am.
00:18:02Everyone, listen to me.
00:18:04Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison Group.
00:18:09A man who can keep his vows to his wife.
00:18:12You cannot 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,
00:18:24shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:33Help!
00:18:34Mom!
00:18:35Someone get a doctor!
00:18:36Mom!
00:18:36It seems your knight has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:42Indeed.
00:18:44Perhaps it's best to live them to it.
00:18:46What?
00:18:47What?
00:18:47What now?
00:18:48Mom, this is not all on me.
00:19:02Not 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.
00:19:10And those dresses?
00:19:13Who could afford those on 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 Shepard would fall for Bora.
00:19:27She's a liar.
00:19:28Oh, stop it, Amber.
00:19:30You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:19:32Lied?
00:19:34You're on my side!
00:19:36And anyways, I have a plan.
00:19:38The Shepards are no one special.
00:19:40We can expose Laura in all her lies.
00:19:43Go national.
00:19:44We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:48Now, if you'll excuse me,
00:19:50I have a very important phone call to make.
00:19:57Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:00Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:20:02It's all right, Laura.
00:20:04You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:20:06Can I ask you something?
00:20:07Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:20:10Maybe a hotel?
00:20:11Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:13I'll be fine.
00:20:15Excuse me, you can just drop me off.
00:20:17Actually, Laura, actually.
00:20:19Laura, there is something else.
00:20:21Would you consider going off for dinner sometime?
00:20:24Just casually, of course.
00:20:26Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:20:30Please, call me Brian.
00:20:32And yes, technically, you're single now.
00:20:37Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:20:48Proper?
00:20:50Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:20:53Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:20:58Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:21:02So what do you say?
00:21:03Dinner?
00:21:06Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:08I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:21:13I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't get out.
00:21:17Wait, Laura.
00:21:18Just here is fine.
00:21:22Laura?
00:21:27Laura?
00:21:28Who is it?
00:21:29Laura, wait!
00:21:30Jason, find out who owns that car and do it fast.
00:21:43Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:21:46It's Amber Smith.
00:21:47Mr. Lewis, I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:54I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.
00:21:57How did you get this number?
00:21:59Don't worry about that right now.
00:22:01I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:22:04Someone I know very well.
00:22:07Impersonating my niece?
00:22:08And where is this fake Laura?
00:22:13Right here in Maplewood.
00:22:15And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:18Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:22:22And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:22:26In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:22:32I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:22:34All will be revealed then.
00:22:36Very well.
00:22:37I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.
00:22:40But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:22:43It won't be.
00:22:45Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:22:46Thank you, Mr.
00:22:47That little rascal, Laura.
00:22:57I wonder what she's up to now.
00:23:02That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubbler.
00:23:07Oh.
00:23:09Lewis family.
00:23:11That's interesting.
00:23:13Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:23:16I'm not sure.
00:23:19Brian!
00:23:20There you are.
00:23:21I've missed you.
00:23:22Chloe.
00:23:23What are you up to?
00:23:25Chloe.
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 a second chance?
00:23:41Teensy mistake, you said?
00:23:43You cheated on me.
00:23:48Is this your new fling?
00:23:50Ex-divorcey.
00:23:53Used a clean floor.
00:23:54It's quite the catch, you say.
00:23:56Look.
00:23:56My relationship with her is none of your business.
00:24:00And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:24:03Please.
00:24:05An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:24:09It's a classic story.
00:24:10That's enough.
00:24:12I've got the hell out of my office.
00:24:14You want to be careful, Brian.
00:24:16Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:19If you want Shepherd Group to stay afloat,
00:24:22you ought to be more careful.
00:24:23Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:36This is it.
00:24:37The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.
00:24:40Once I'm done speaking with them,
00:24:42I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:45I'll go speak with them first, and 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 do to you already?
00:24:56That's none of your business.
00:24:59Now, move aside, please.
00:25:00Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
00:25:04You really think you can just ruin 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 to get to.
00:25:13Oh, the nerve.
00:25:14After everything you've done,
00:25:15you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?
00:25:19Seriously?
00:25:19Seriously?
00:25:20I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:24Oh, that's gold.
00:25:26You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?
00:25:29Please, you're no one compared to me.
00:25:31You don't deserve to be here.
00:25:33The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:25:37And you, idiot, believing every lie that she tells you, wake up, Ben.
00:25:43Oh, Laura!
00:25:45Laura, 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 one of my events for once?
00:25:52I know what this is.
00:25:53So stupid.
00:25:56Oh, shut your trap.
00:25:58Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:26:00He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:26:04Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.
00:26:07And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:26:11Well, before you all start celebrating,
00:26:15why don't you take a look at this?
00:26:18Oh, that's rich.
00:26:23You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.
00:26:26I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.
00:26:29Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?
00:26:33You mean my uncle?
00:26:36Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:38Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:26:43And besides, this looks fake.
00:26:46She's a liar.
00:26:48This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:53It grants me access to the VIP elevator,
00:26:55which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.
00:26:58She's lying.
00:26:59They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:27:05Is there a special elevator for 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.
00:27:14Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:27:17Go on.
00:27:17Get lost before things get worse.
00:27:22Here.
00:27:23Take this one.
00:27:24Lead me to the vice president's.
00:27:25You have no idea what you just did.
00:27:30There will be consequences.
00:27:32Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,
00:27:40why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an 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.
00:27:52Man, place me here.
00:27:53What?
00:27:53Hold on!
00:27:57Brian Shepard?
00:27:59You think money buys you the 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, was it, huh?
00:28:07What other plans do you have to destroy this town?
00:28:09Get you out?
00:28:10After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.
00:28:13Don't play dumb.
00:28:15We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:28:17How long has this little affair been going on?
00:28:19You've been sleeping with her since 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, get down here ASAP.
00:28:35We have a situation.
00:28:37What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?
00:28:39Is that it?
00:28:40We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:42Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.
00:28:44How can I help you this evening?
00:28:46Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:49It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:52These people don't think that I belong here.
00:28:56Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:59A cleaner?
00:29:00Nonsense.
00:29:00I personally agreed to Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:29:05Exactly.
00:29:06Lewis Group, my company,
00:29:10has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:14I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:29:17No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.
00:29:22She's been this way since my son divorced her.
00:29:24She's insane.
00:29:25Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.
00:29:29She helped secure a profitable investment for Sheppard Group.
00:29:33No, it's a lie.
00:29:36Mr. Sheppard, she's tricking you too.
00:29:38You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.
00:29:47Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?
00:29:51Wait, is that why you're covering for her?
00:29:53Huh?
00:29:53Because of the affair?
00:29:54Because she slept with you?
00:29:55Excuse me.
00:29:56Of course.
00:29:57Who are you and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:29:59Enough of this.
00:30:00That's enough.
00:30:01Have you never embarrassed 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 a VIP entrance access.
00:30:10She shouldn't be here.
00:30:12Since you're having trouble understanding them, let me make it clear.
00:30:17This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.
00:30:21It's mine to come or go as I please.
00:30:29Thank you for stepping in, Ryan.
00:30:30I owe you one.
00:30:33We'll talk about this later.
00:30:35Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Anderson.
00:30:47Come in!
00:30:50Excuse me, Vice Presidents.
00:30:53I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.
00:30:57I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today?
00:31:00Maplewood Branch.
00:31:02Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Ms. Smith.
00:31:07Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:31:11Ian Lewis, Mr. Lewis, reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:31:20Expansion plans?
00:31:23Ms. Smith?
00:31:23A decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:31:27And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.
00:31:31But Ian Lewis assured me that...
00:31:35Ms. Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.
00:31:38Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.
00:31:41Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...
00:31:44Ms. Smith, we'd like you to leave.
00:31:46If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:53Hey, stop there.
00:31:55These elevators are VIP only.
00:31:57Back, please.
00:31:58Of course.
00:31:59My apologies.
00:32:00My apologies.
00:32:06Laura?
00:32:10Vice Presidents, it's so good to see all of you again.
00:32:14Ms. Lewis, it's been too long.
00:32:17Your return is a lifesaver, Ms. Lewis.
00:32:20The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:32:26The board are begging you to come back, Ms. Lewis.
00:32:31Well, please sit.
00:32:33Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.
00:32:37We've got a meeting planned.
00:32:39A big one.
00:32:40In just a few days.
00:32:43Local powerhouses and smaller players, too.
00:32:47They'll all be there in one spot.
00:32:49Ms. Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.
00:32:52Yes, she claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.
00:33:00She said that, did she?
00:33:02Well, Ms. Smith is a liar.
00:33:04There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:33:07She lied so blatantly, it was, it's unbelievable.
00:33:10Bob, don't worry.
00:33:12I found a much more suitable partner.
00:33:17Shepherd Group.
00:33:18Shepherd Group?
00:33:19Their rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:33:21Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:25So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:33:30Oh, don't worry about Amber.
00:33:34I've got plans for her.
00:33:38Ms. Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the legend from us.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:48Cheers.
00:33:48Cheers.
00:33:51Yeah, I'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 manager 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, we were waiting for Ms. Smith.
00:34:12Lewis Group, Maplewood branch?
00:34:14No such thing, ma'am.
00:34:15And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:34:18Oh, of course.
00:34:19Laura!
00:34:20She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.
00:34:23That's how she gets away with everything.
00:34:25You underestimate her, Kathy.
00:34:27She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.
00:34:30No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:34:33Careful with your words.
00:34:34Both of you.
00:34:36Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:39Look who can't even get into a meeting.
00:34:43Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.
00:34:47And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:34:50Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:34:53Used me?
00:34:54Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:58You're so stupid.
00:34:59She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:35:02Don't worry, Brian.
00:35:04You deserve better.
00:35:05And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:35:09Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:35:13New branch manager, huh?
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 the mystery guest.
00:35:24Don't play games, Laura.
00:35:26I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:35:30Only the top companies get those.
00:35:33Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:35:35Is that so?
00:35:37Well then.
00:35:37There seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:35:42You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.
00:35:47And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:35:52Escort them out.
00:35:53What?
00:35:54Their visit is over.
00:35:55Oh, 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.
00:36:03Now.
00:36:04Okay, bye.
00:36:04Bye.
00:36:04This isn't over, Laura.
00:36:06You'll see.
00:36:10Thanks for waiting, man.
00:36:13Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:16And thank you for defending me.
00:36:21I really appreciate it.
00:36:24Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:29Yes, but it's going to be tricky.
00:36:34Why?
00:36:35I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:36:38Yes, Laura.
00:36:44There's something you should know.
00:36:47Is this about Ben?
00:36:50Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.
00:36:54He won't even get past security.
00:36:56Laura, it's not Ben.
00:37:00It's someone else.
00:37:03Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:37:05Yes.
00:37:10Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:37:13She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:37:17She's my ex-fiancé.
00:37:20And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:37:25And, let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:37:30And, for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.
00:37:36And, you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting for...
00:37:45Out of jealousy?
00:37:51There's a possibility.
00:37:53She's kind of jealous.
00:37:55Well, all the more reason for you to be there.
00:38:00Besides, I'll be there too.
00:38:03Laura, would you consider being my guest at the meeting?
00:38:12What?
00:38:13Are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too?
00:38:17Maybe a little.
00:38:18But, mostly, I want to show them we're team.
00:38:22Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.
00:38:26I don't care about your best.
00:38:35I just want to be by your side.
00:38:37I think I'm falling for you.
00:38:43Ryan.
00:38:43I appreciate your honesty.
00:38:52And, right now, I'm just not...
00:38:55I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:39:00Just with everything going on.
00:39:02And, going on.
00:39:03It's okay.
00:39:05I just want to be up front.
00:39:06And, if Chloe tries anything, you won't face her alone.
00:39:15There's just one thing I do need.
00:39:20What is it?
00:39:22A formal dress.
00:39:23Oh, security!
00:39:37She doesn't belong here.
00:39:38This is a private store.
00:39:40Excuse me.
00:39:41We need some assistance.
00:39:43I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:39:48Wow.
00:39:49It's beautiful.
00:39:51It is.
00:39:52I'll try this one off.
00:39:54Don't bother with her.
00:39:55She can't afford anything here.
00:39:57She's just a cleaner.
00:39:58She doesn't deserve to shop you.
00:40:00She has no money.
00:40:03Yeah, exactly.
00:40:04I mean, what are you doing here?
00:40:06Can't you just leave me alone?
00:40:07I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared.
00:40:10I'm here for retail therapy.
00:40:13Oh, please.
00:40:14This store is for the A-list only.
00:40:16Not some cheapskate like you.
00:40:18Says the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:40:20Hey, show some respect.
00:40:24Typical Laura.
00:40:25Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.
00:40:28I would have asked you, but without me, I'm sure you're already booked.
00:40:32Oh, please.
00:40:33Come on.
00:40:33We'll take the dress.
00:40:34Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:40:37What do you mean you don't sell it?
00:40:40I want it.
00:40:41Name your price.
00:40:42It's not about the price, ma'am.
00:40:44This one was custom made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress.
00:40:48The entire brand belongs to her.
00:40:50This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.
00:40:54It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:40:56What are you talking about?
00:40:58Of course it would suit her.
00:40:59It'd fit her just fine.
00:41:00And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:41:04Well, buy in the whole store.
00:41:06Allow me to purchase this dress.
00:41:07Oh, please.
00:41:13Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?
00:41:16We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:41:18Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.
00:41:21You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:41:23Could you please tell me more about this dress?
00:41:26Of course.
00:41:27It was custom made for Laura Lewis, heiress to the Lewis Group fortune,
00:41:33and stitched in Italy naturally.
00:41:35And apparently there are many more like it this year.
00:41:39High-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.
00:41:43Laura, do you like this dress?
00:41:47Of course.
00:41:48It's custom made for me.
00:41:50I'm just here to take what's already mine.
00:41:53Oh, you can't be serious.
00:41:54There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.
00:41:58Fine, fine.
00:41:59If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?
00:42:02It would look incredible on me.
00:42:03Miss, this dress is very delicate.
00:42:07If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:42:12Are you calling me fat?
00:42:13Actually, on a second thought.
00:42:15Why don't we just buy the whole brand?
00:42:18How's that sound?
00:42:19Sir, are you serious?
00:42:20You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:42:24This brand is worth at least $50 million.
00:42:27And to buy it for a waitress?
00:42:30Are you out of your mind?
00:42:32Yes.
00:42:32You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:42:35Just one second.
00:42:36Yes, this is Brian Shepard, CEO of Shepard Group.
00:42:43I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:42:46I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.
00:42:51What?
00:42:52Sorry, sir.
00:42:56That brand is not for sale.
00:42:59You see?
00:42:59If we can't have it, neither can you.
00:43:04Mr. Yates.
00:43:06Yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:43:08I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepard Group.
00:43:14Oh, come on.
00:43:16Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:43:19Exactly.
00:43:20Come on, this is pathetic.
00:43:21You really think this is going to work?
00:43:22It's sad.
00:43:23Excellent.
00:43:25Thank you, Mr. Yates.
00:43:26That's all.
00:43:33Yes?
00:43:38What?
00:43:40Are you willing to sell me the brand?
00:43:44Awesome.
00:43:49Hello?
00:43:50Yes?
00:43:52Wow.
00:43:53Yes, of course.
00:43:55Absolutely.
00:43:56Mm-hmm.
00:43:59This store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepard.
00:44:03The Shepard Group is the new owner.
00:44:06How may I be up service today, sir?
00:44:08Well, Laura, I don't know much about pressure.
00:44:12So I would like to give you this brand to you.
00:44:14You can't be serious.
00:44:16You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:44:18Don't listen to her, Brian.
00:44:21You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.
00:44:25You're not welcome here.
00:44:26I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:32I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:35Of course.
00:44:37Oh, come on.
00:44:39Sir?
00:44:40Ma'am?
00:44:40You're afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:44:41Well, we're not leaving, okay?
00:44:43Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:45This isn't over, Laura!
00:44:47Could I try the dress on now?
00:44:48Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:44:50You just follow me.
00:44:57Wow.
00:44:59Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.
00:45:05Laura, you look breath-taking in this dress.
00:45:09Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:45:16Laura.
00:45:19Because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.
00:45:23And that includes this dress.
00:45:28Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:45:31I-I-I need a moment.
00:45:35Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:45:41Does that mean you could be a yes?
00:45:43Maybe.
00:45:50Hi.
00:45:58Hi.
00:45:59Well, well, well.
00:46:05Look who decided to join the party.
00:46:07Playing dress-up again, Laura?
00:46:09One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:46:12And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:46:15You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?
00:46:17For this.
00:46:18This gold digger.
00:46:19You know, Ben, I really cared about you.
00:46:23Even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:46:27I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:46:30Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:46:36Enough!
00:46:37I've had enough of this drama.
00:46:39Yeah, me too.
00:46:39Try that again, and you'll regret it.
00:46:43I'll get the hell out of my face.
00:46:46Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:46:48Yeah.
00:46:48I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:46:54What?
00:46:54That's impossible.
00:46:56I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:47:01Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group, your name is on the list.
00:47:06Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.
00:47:09You don't have an invitation.
00:47:12You're just here because of Brian.
00:47:17Let me see this.
00:47:18This doesn't even look real.
00:47:19It's different from mine.
00:47:21Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:25This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:47:31Please, right this way.
00:47:32We can continue this discussion later.
00:47:34If you manage to get in.
00:47:39Sir, Madam, we recommend you leave.
00:47:45There you are!
00:47:47How dare you steal my fiancée!
00:47:51There you are!
00:47:52How dare you steal my fiancée!
00:47:55Looks like another relationship fights the dust, Laura.
00:47:58Looks like stealing men is a habit 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, Gwen.
00:48:06That ended a long time ago.
00:48:08Engaged to you.
00:48:10Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:48:14Your relationship's history.
00:48:16That was just a little tiff.
00:48:18You really think that could tear us apart?
00:48:21Don't you know who I am?
00:48:24Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:48:26Oh, honey.
00:48:27She don't recognize royalty, let alone a duke.
00:48:30She's just a maid, remember?
00:48:31I don't have time for all this drama.
00:48:35Brian?
00:48:37Let's head inside.
00:48:39Brian!
00:48:40How could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:48:44Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:48:47There's nothing left to say, Gwen.
00:48:49Don't make this a scene.
00:48:51Shall we?
00:48:51You okay, Miss Duke?
00:49:00And you are?
00:49:01Amber Smith.
00:49:03I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:49:06What branch?
00:49:07I've never heard of it.
00:49:08What do you want from me?
00:49:09That Laura!
00:49:11She tore up my invitation.
00:49:13Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:14What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:49:17Please don't waste my time.
00:49:20I don't know.
00:49:50If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:49:55The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:49:59Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.
00:50:02Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:50:05I need your help with something.
00:50:08What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.
00:50:11It's Brian.
00:50:13Who's that woman? I thought you were...
00:50:16She's a con woman. She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:20What? Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:27She's pretending to be Louis to get close to him.
00:50:31What are you planning?
00:50:33I want to destroy Shepherd Group.
00:50:38Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:42I had no idea she would be so... intense.
00:50:49What do you mean?
00:50:51You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:50:54I mean, you guys are just... power couple.
00:50:59I see what you're doing.
00:51:01Power couple, you say?
00:51:03More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:51:07Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:51:10Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:51:15It's up there.
00:51:17Really?
00:51:18She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:51:20Excuse me.
00:51:21This is my VIP invitation.
00:51:24I can sit wherever I like.
00:51:27Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:51:29This is signed by all three VPs of Louis Group.
00:51:32Where did you get this?
00:51:34Who did you have to sleep with?
00:51:36That's enough.
00:51:38This is getting us nowhere.
00:51:41Laura is my guest.
00:51:43And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:51:48Got it?
00:51:49Mr. Shepherd, what do you see in that woman?
00:51:53Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:51:56She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.
00:52:00What more could you ask for?
00:52:03That's a good question.
00:52:05Not much, actually.
00:52:07Honesty?
00:52:09That's what I want.
00:52:11And love.
00:52:13Things that are clearly...
00:52:15Chloe has no idea.
00:52:17I said I was sorry.
00:52:19What more do you want?
00:52:21I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:52:23She's like a daughter to me.
00:52:25I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:52:32One more chance, Brian.
00:52:33Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:52:36Do it, Mr. Shepherd.
00:52:38Propose.
00:52:39Right here.
00:52:40Right now.
00:52:42Brian?
00:52:43Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:52:49By forcing a ring on someone?
00:52:52Do it, or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:53:02Don't you dare.
00:53:04You're humiliating yourself.
00:53:06How dare you?
00:53:08Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:53:10Yes.
00:53:13I like her.
00:53:16But I can't imagine someone like her, interesting in me.
00:53:21The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:53:27Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:30Exactly! This woman is trouble!
00:53:32She doesn't belong here!
00:53:33Throw her out!
00:53:35You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?
00:53:40Interesting turn of events.
00:53:42Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:53:46Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress, Laura Lewis?
00:53:53You know what, maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:53:59How ridiculous!
00:54:00Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:54:02I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow, did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe.
00:54:12You have no right to talk to Ms. Duke like that!
00:54:15That's enough!
00:54:16You don't get to talk here!
00:54:18You got mad, Shepard!
00:54:19You dare to go and get to Ms. Duke!
00:54:21And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:54:23Anyone who insults Laura.
00:54:25Leaves with the Blackory.
00:54:26He's willing to offend the Duke for her.
00:54:27What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:28I want to be careful, Brian.
00:54:29Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:54:30Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:54:31The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not Shepard Group.
00:54:36Lewis Group RS?
00:54:37You?
00:54:38Don't make me laugh.
00:54:39Security!
00:54:40Remove these two impostors from the premise.
00:54:41What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:42What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:43I want to be careful, Brian.
00:54:44Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:54:45Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:54:46The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not Shepard Group.
00:54:52Lewis Group RS?
00:54:54You?
00:54:55Don't make me laugh.
00:54:57Security!
00:54:58Remove these two impostors from the premise.
00:55:00Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:55:02Give Brian another chance.
00:55:04Choose, Brian.
00:55:06Me and the future you deserve.
00:55:08Or this...
00:55:09Fraud.
00:55:10Chloe.
00:55:11I have everything I ever wanted.
00:55:16Right here.
00:55:17And I wouldn't trade all the power that took so out of me.
00:55:21Fine.
00:55:22Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:23What?
00:55:24You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:25Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:26The Duke family.
00:55:27They can't be serious.
00:55:28Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:29Brian.
00:55:30You don't have to do this for me.
00:55:31Laura, I will never let anyone bully you.
00:55:32Let alone them.
00:55:33Thank you, Brian.
00:55:34For believing in me.
00:55:35For protecting me.
00:55:36Now it's my turn to protect you.
00:55:37Now it's my turn to protect you.
00:55:39Shepard Group.
00:55:40Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:41Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:42Brian.
00:55:43You don't have to do this for me.
00:55:46Laura, I will never let anyone bully you.
00:55:50Let alone them.
00:55:52Thank you, Brian.
00:55:54For...
00:55:55For believing in me.
00:55:57For protecting me.
00:55:59Now it's my turn to protect you.
00:56:03Listen carefully.
00:56:10I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.
00:56:14At all costs.
00:56:16Don't let it drop even one cent.
00:56:21Do you understand?
00:56:22Wow.
00:56:23Award winning performance, Laura.
00:56:27But you can't possibly control the stock.
00:56:30Do you want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:35If the Shepard stock holds for the next five minutes,
00:56:44you owe me a public apology.
00:56:52Do.
00:56:53Well, looks like your five minutes is up.
00:57:01Let's see how the Shepard stock is stealing.
00:57:08What the?
00:57:09The Shepard Group stock prices?
00:57:11It's going up.
00:57:12This can't be happening.
00:57:14It must be a coincidence.
00:57:16Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
00:57:25There was a huge investment.
00:57:27We couldn't compete.
00:57:28Shepard stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:31How did you do this?
00:57:33Like I said, Chloe.
00:57:36I'm...
00:57:38Laura Lewis.
00:57:40But you're not.
00:57:41You're just some cleaner.
00:57:42You don't have access to billions.
00:57:44No.
00:57:45I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:54No.
00:57:55I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:57There is no way I'm apologizing to you.
00:57:59If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:58:03Chloe?
00:58:04The truth is, everyone here has seen you be a bully and a coward and now a sore loser.
00:58:17This is so humiliating for her.
00:58:20How did she manage that?
00:58:22Maybe she really is a Lewis.
00:58:25Apologize to Miss Lewis.
00:58:27Shut up.
00:58:28Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.
00:58:31Don't forget, the Duke finally owned half of Maplewood.
00:58:34There you go, Elizabeth.
00:58:36Let's get out of here.
00:58:38Hold on.
00:58:40This is where I belong.
00:58:43And that is my chair.
00:58:47You can't go there.
00:58:48That is the VIP section.
00:58:50Only those invited by the Lewis Group Vice Presidents get to sit there.
00:58:55Like I said, Chloe, that's my seat.
00:59:00I had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
00:59:08Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepard, wasn't it?
00:59:17Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
00:59:19Is this how you charm all your men?
00:59:21Shall we?
00:59:23My pleasure.
00:59:25What are you doing?
00:59:27Let go.
00:59:28It doesn't matter what happened.
00:59:30I choose to stay by Laura's side.
00:59:33Let's go.
00:59:35Don't be absurd.
00:59:36That seat is reserved for a very important guest.
00:59:40Someone so esteemed, even the Vice Presidents have to bow low.
00:59:46And how exactly, Mr. Jones?
00:59:52Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
00:59:56Wait.
00:59:57That's Peter Young.
00:59:58Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group.
01:00:04Ah, that's Peter Young.
01:00:05He decides which...
01:00:06It's Peter Young.
01:00:07It's Chloe Duke.
01:00:08Head of Duke Industries.
01:00:09So glad you could join us.
01:00:10Why is everyone standing around?
01:00:12It's her.
01:00:13She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat.
01:00:16It's embarrassing.
01:00:17That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
01:00:21Specifically the family heir.
01:00:23Please get off the stage.
01:00:25Oh, yes.
01:00:26Mr. Young?
01:00:28Was it?
01:00:29I think I remember you.
01:00:30You manage my family's investments.
01:00:34Don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:00:37Please get off the stage.
01:00:39That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.
01:00:42I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:00:50I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:00:58This is ridiculous.
01:00:59You.
01:01:00The Lewis heir.
01:01:01Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:01:05You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:01:08Exactly.
01:01:09We ran a background check on her.
01:01:11And it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.
01:01:15Before that, I could see her in my family's supermarket.
01:01:19See, Brian?
01:01:20This is who you've been chasing after.
01:01:22A liar and a cheat.
01:01:24Security, get this imposter out of here.
01:01:27And everyone here is a witness.
01:01:29Why would any of you trust Laura?
01:01:32If any of you dares to harm her, you have to go through me first.
01:01:38Brian, she's just some nobody.
01:01:41She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.
01:01:44They didn't even want her.
01:01:46What exactly do you see in her?
01:01:48Escort this imposter out of here.
01:01:50Now.
01:01:51I'm Peter.
01:01:54Peter.
01:01:55Do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:01:57Mr. Yates.
01:01:58I'm so glad you could join us.
01:01:59Miss Lewis.
01:02:00Sorry about the delay.
01:02:01And for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:02:02It's no trouble, Mr. Yates.
01:02:03Luckily I haven't been alone.
01:02:04I've had the great company of my very loyal.
01:02:07friend.
01:02:08Wait a minute.
01:02:09She's Miss Lewis.
01:02:10Is this a joke?
01:02:11Mr. Young.
01:02:12You're new to the Lewis Group.
01:02:13So I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.
01:02:14But you listened to lies without checking the facts.
01:02:18And almost called the police.
01:02:19Tell me, Mr. Young.
01:02:20Who put you up to this?
01:02:21Mr. Young.
01:02:22Who put you up to this?
01:02:23Was it my uncle, Ian Lewis?
01:02:24I knew it.
01:02:25I knew it.
01:02:26I knew it.

01:09:03thank you
01:09:04Finally a pleasure to meet you.
01:09:06We've looked into your company's financial review.
01:09:10Very impressive.
01:09:12Thank you. Thank you, bud.
01:09:14A large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.
01:09:18She practically saved me from disaster.
01:09:21Three times over now.
01:09:22Bryant, you can just call me Lord.
01:09:25Ms. Lewis's recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepherd.
01:09:29Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:09:32Mr. Shepherd, this opportunity is going.
01:09:36It's easy to.
01:09:38A woman like Laura is not easy to find.
01:09:41Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.
01:09:52Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:09:54Laura? Hardly.
01:09:56I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.
01:10:02So you're Laura's uncle?
01:10:05In the flesh.
01:10:07So Laura really is your niece?
01:10:09Yes, little 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?
01:10:32If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:10:35Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Miss Duke.
01:10:39We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:10:41What 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.
01:10:50But 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.
01:11:00How can I possibly get the ring?
01:11:02There 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.
01:11:21Laura.
01:11:22It's so good to see you.
01:11:23And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps.
01:11:28How have you been?
01:11:29I've been well, Uncle Ian.
01:11:31Thank you for asking.
01:11:33I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.
01:11:37Yes.
01:11:38Kind of been easy.
01:11:39Indeed.
01:11:40Somebody had to.
01:11:41I mean, after you left me with everything to do, without a safe pair of hands,
01:11:45I hate to think it 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.
01:11:57Yes.
01:11:58Minor mistakes.
01:11:59Minor.
01:12:00Don't worry.
01:12:01Uncle Ian.
01:12:02I won't hold it against you.
01:12:03Oh.
01:12:04Good.
01:12:05Well, cheers to you coming back here.
01:12:08And the Lewis Group.
01:12:10Oh!
01:12:11I'm so sorry, Laura.
01:12:15How clumsy of me.
01:12:17No, no worries.
01:12:18Uncle Ian.
01:12:19I...
01:12:20I...
01:12:21I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.
01:12:23Um...
01:12:24Of course.
01:12:25Right away.
01:12:26Just down to the left.
01:12:33Use it wisely.
01:12:34Oh, I will.
01:12:35Hey, Laura.
01:12:36How's that?
01:12:37Hello, Brian.
01:12:38Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:12:39Chloe.
01:12:40How in the hell did you get Laura's phone?
01:12:41Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:12:42Listen, Chloe.
01:12:43Don't hurt her.
01:12:44Please.
01:12:45I'll do anything.
01:12:46I'll do anything.
01:12:47Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs.
01:12:48For now.
01:12:49I'll do anything.
01:12:50Please.
01:12:51You're not sure you're going to leave.
01:12:52I'll do anything.
01:12:53Right away.
01:12:54Hey, Laura.
01:12:55How's that?
01:12:56Hello, Brian.
01:12:57Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:12:58Chloe.
01:12:59How in the hell did you get Laura's phone?
01:13:01Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:13:03Listen, Chloe.
01:13:05Don't hurt her. Please. I'll do anything.
01:13:11Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs. Now.
01:13:17Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.
01:13:22Well, you certainly do have your ways.
01:13:28Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up. I am sorry. How clumsy.
01:13:32And don't forget your phone. I retrieved it for you.
01:13:35Thank you. Lovely to see you again.
01:13:38I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.
01:13:41At the banquet.
01:13:44I'll see you then.
01:13:45Will do. Looking forward to it.
01:13:50Laura! Laura! Where are you?
01:13:53Laura!
01:13:55Laura! Where are you?
01:13:58Laura! Laura, where are you?
01:14:01Laura!
01:14:06I got shot.
01:14:09You weren't expecting that, were you?
01:14:11Finally.
01:14:12Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.
01:14:25What the?
01:14:26Laura, where are you? Laura? Laura?
01:14:28Now go shut your mouth.
01:14:30Chloe, what have you done? Are you out of your mind?
01:14:35Out of my mind?
01:14:36You were the one that left me for that tram and destroyed my life!
01:14:40That's not true. You were the one who messed up!
01:14:43Brian!
01:14:44Laura!
01:14:45Stay where you are.
01:14:47You better not come alone.
01:14:50Shut this knife, Chloe. This is insane!
01:14:54Insane? I did this for us, Brian!
01:14:58We were meant to be together.
01:15:00Us? You've gone crazy! And you're out of here!
01:15:04Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious event.
01:15:09They're going to lock you up for years!
01:15:11You think I care about jail time?
01:15:14All I care about is tearing you to your pardon.
01:15:17You don't deserve him.
01:15:19What have you done?
01:15:21You've destroyed my life!
01:15:23My company, everything!
01:15:25Now I'm going to destroy your life.
01:15:28Forgive me.
01:15:29The family ring now.
01:15:31Give it to me!
01:15:32This is about the ring.
01:15:35Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:15:38You know, Chloe, trying to kill me, that's foolish.
01:15:44Because who do you think is going to win?
01:15:47You?
01:15:48That will matter.
01:15:50Or me?
01:15:53Something a little bit more persuasive.
01:16:02Freeze!
01:16:04Don't move, anyone.
01:16:09Don't move.
01:16:10You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.
01:16:13Miss Lewis, having fun without me?
01:16:16I'm hurt.
01:16:17Are you hurt?
01:16:21No, I'm okay.
01:16:23Tell me, Chloe.
01:16:28Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:16:31Why should I tell you?
01:16:32You're going to kill me anyway.
01:16:35Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:16:38But if you don't talk,
01:16:41your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:16:44Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:48So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:16:50Talk,
01:16:51or face the consequences.
01:16:53Fine.
01:16:54It was Ian Lewis.
01:16:56He said he'd help Duke Industries
01:16:58if 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.
01:17:06Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:17:11Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:17:25This is crazy.
01:17:26Are we really sure we can do this?
01:17:27All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:17:30Absolutely.
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
01:17:38on the new heir.
01:17:40There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:41You can introduce us.
01:17:42Let's go.
01:17:43Yeah.
01:17:46Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:17:47I'm Amber Smith.
01:17:48We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:50This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.
01:17:52How do you do?
01:17:53We're the company that-
01:17:54Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:56Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed
01:17:57Laura's little drama.
01:17:59Now look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:18:06Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:18:07Could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:18:12The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:18:15Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:19A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:18:22Would 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.
01:18:33There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:18:38I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago
01:18:42that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:18:45And tragically, she hasn't made it.
01:18:48She has not survived.
01:18:53What?
01:18:54Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:55It doesn't matter now, she's gone.
01:18:58Mr. Lewis, is this new-
01:18:59A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:19:02But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue
01:19:05under my competent leadership.
01:19:09Hold on!
01:19:10Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:14Laura!
01:19:19I don't understand.
01:19:20What's happening?
01:19:21Laura?
01:19:23But weren't you-
01:19:24My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:19:28There seems to be some misunderstanding.
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.
01:19:37Back off then.
01:19:38Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:19:39As I'm sure you know, tonight I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:19:57I'm sorry.
01:19:59Perhaps you 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 why 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.
01:20:16Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument that you have that I got married too quickly?
01:20:24Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger and left me to work tirelessly keeping the company together.
01:20:31Uncle Ian, retire. Enjoy your retirement.
01:20:36Lewis 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.
01:20:48You think a ring makes an heir?
01:20:51You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:20:55Give that back to me.
01:20:57This?
01:20:58Yes.
01:20:59You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:21:02Give it back.
01:21:03True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you.
01:21:11Not some stupid ring.
01:21:13Oh, my ring?
01:21:15John, where is it?
01:21:19My ring?
01:21:20Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.
01:21:24How dare you?
01:21:25Let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.
01:21:29Talk.
01:21:34Fine.
01:21:35It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:37He said he'd help juking the streets if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:21:44Oh, quite the spectacle, Miss Lewis.
01:21:47Security, escort him out.
01:21:50And Ian, don't fall over.
01:21:52It's all lies.
01:21:53It's all lies.
01:21:54Fakery.
01:21:55It's fake news.
01:21:56The proof is clear.
01:21:57Get him out of here.
01:21:58I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:22:07Turns out, reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:22:13Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr. Shepherd by my side.
01:22:20And he has been a great support.
01:22:23Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:22:30I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:22:38Shepherd Group.
01:22:40What?
01:22:41Laura, hold on.
01:22:43This was never my idea.
01:22:44This was all Cathy and Amber's fault.
01:22:45I 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.
01:22:56Just don't shut Harrison Group out.
01:22:58Just 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.
01:23:12Sorry. No, please, no.
01:23:15Um, Mr. Shepherd?
01:23:17Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:23:18I was wondering if...
01:23:22Maybe you wanted to grab dinner.
01:23:25Sometime.
01:23:27On me.
01:23:29Miss Lewis.
01:23:33I would love to.
