00:00:00You're going to be your father.
00:00:30What's she doing here?
00:00:33What do you think?
00:00:34No need to hide anymore.
00:00:36I'm leaving you.
00:00:38For Catherine.
00:00:39Unlike you, I'm young and rich.
00:00:41I can give Bradley what he deserves.
00:00:44Catherine hired me to be vice president of her family's hospital.
00:00:46She's also way better in bed.
00:00:49What's that?
00:00:55She's pregnant?
00:00:57What?
00:00:57She must be making it to try.
00:01:01Oh, no.
00:01:02She's so desperate.
00:01:04Give it back.
00:01:05Stop.
00:01:06Give it back.
00:01:07Give it back.
00:01:07Oh.
00:01:08Oh.
00:01:08Oh.
00:01:08Oh.
00:01:11Oh.
00:01:11Oh.
00:01:12Oh.
00:01:14Oh.
00:01:15Oh.
00:01:15Oh.
00:01:16Oh.
00:01:16Oh.
00:01:16Oh.
00:01:17Oh.
00:01:17Oh.
00:01:18Oh.
00:01:18Oh.
00:01:19Oh.
00:01:20Oh.
00:01:21Oh.
00:01:22Oh.
00:01:23Oh.
00:01:24Oh.
00:01:25Oh.
00:01:26Oh.
00:01:33Oh.
00:01:33Oh.
00:01:34Oh, man.
00:01:35What happened?
00:01:37The baby.
00:01:39Is the baby okay?
00:01:40I'm so sorry
00:01:45We lost the name
00:01:48I'm so sorry
00:01:52We're right here, Snakeheart
00:01:58We're right here
00:02:07I won't let Bradley
00:02:09And that woman
00:02:10Get away with this
00:02:12I'm ready to come back, Don
00:02:14Well, Revenger won't heal the heart
00:02:17This isn't about revenge
00:02:18This is about holding them accountable
00:02:20Are you sure you're ready for this?
00:02:22I've been preparing for years, Mom
00:02:24Okay
00:02:25But
00:02:26There's a condition
00:02:28I have an important announcement
00:02:34My daughter, Mia Gerber
00:02:36Will be the new CEO of Gerber Corporation
00:02:39Is Mia ready for such a big role?
00:02:41I've been concealing my identity
00:02:43To go undercover within the industry
00:02:44I've learned our competitors from the inside
00:02:47Trust me
00:02:48I'm more than ready
00:02:51Furthermore
00:02:53Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings
00:02:57Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings
00:03:03There is a condition
00:03:06You're going to have to marry Joshua Lane
00:03:09The heir of Lane Holdings
00:03:11Mia's never even met this guy before
00:03:14It's a strategic alliance, Noah
00:03:17It's what's best for our family and the company
00:03:20I'll do it
00:03:22I'll marry Joshua Lane if that's what it takes
00:03:27And this alliance
00:03:30Will strengthen our company
00:03:34And secure our future
00:03:35Isn't Joshua Lane
00:03:44Thanks for being called to move
00:03:45Ruffles
00:03:46That's what I heard
00:03:48And I think it'll be good for a company
00:03:50I think it'll be good for a CEO
00:03:52Joshua, I was hoping we'd get
00:04:15Not interested
00:04:15Get lost
00:04:16Man, you are brutal
00:04:21That's the fifth girl you've turned down tonight
00:04:24Hey, I heard you're getting hitched to Mia Gerber
00:04:27Why didn't you turn her down?
00:04:29This marriage is what my parents want
00:04:30Couldn't care less about her
00:04:32Oh, come on
00:04:33She's the heiress to the Gerber Corporation
00:04:34There must be some perks to her
00:04:36Perks or not
00:04:37She'll learn quickly that I'm not one to be messed with
00:04:40Gonna give her a hard time, huh?
00:04:42Let's just say that she's got something coming
00:04:51Do you, Joshua Lane, take Mia Gerber for your lofty-witted wife?
00:05:00I do
00:05:00And you, Mia Gerber, do you take Joshua Lane for your lofty-witted husband?
00:05:08I do
00:05:08Um, no rings
00:05:11We may now kiss the bride
00:05:21Let's get one thing straight, Mia
00:05:35This marriage is a show for our family and the rest of the world
00:05:39Don't expect any affection from me
00:05:41Understood
00:05:42And vice versa
00:05:44My parents want to set up a dinner with us
00:06:02My assistant will set it up
00:06:03She can coordinate schedules with my assistant
00:06:05Done
00:06:12Joshua Lane has always been so distant with people
00:06:28Unlike Alex here, who's so popular and charismatic
00:06:32You should sit out with a woman, I can't stop chasing
00:06:36Well, at least I don't have to worry if Alex will give me a grandson
00:06:42But I wonder, Joshua
00:06:44If you can even warm up enough to give me a child
00:06:49We need an heir after all
00:06:50Eleanor
00:06:51That's enough
00:06:53I'm just saying
00:06:55Perhaps Alex is a better fit to leave Lane Holdings
00:06:59Quite the contrary
00:07:00Actually, Joshua's very passionate
00:07:04Especially in the bedroom
00:07:06No doubt that you'll have that
00:07:08Air
00:07:09Soon
00:07:10For your information
00:07:16Passion is not in my DNA
00:07:19Nor does it align with my personal brand
00:07:21But still
00:07:23Thank you for setting up
00:07:25I just didn't appreciate your stepmom's attitude
00:07:30Get the campaign ready
00:07:39I want that check out
00:07:40Asap
00:07:41No, hey
00:07:46I need a favor
00:07:48You're right
00:07:53Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua
00:07:56Clued on PR is already involved
00:07:58What agency are we using?
00:08:02We're settled siding
00:08:03Bids are open for this year's contract
00:08:04Perfect
00:08:07I have a plan
00:08:09I'm offering the Gerber Corporation's annual PR budget
00:08:15It's one of the largest in the industry
00:08:17That's an enticing offer
00:08:19What do you ask of me in return?
00:08:23I need you to withdraw from any campaign against Joshua Lane
00:08:26I don't mind
00:08:28I don't mind
00:08:28I'll cover the cancellation for you
00:08:29You have a deal
00:08:36The Gerber Corporation account is too good to pass on
00:08:40There's a little more
00:08:42I need you to spread the word
00:08:44Any PR firm that goes against Joshua Lane
00:08:48Will be blacklisted from the Gerber Corporation
00:08:50And our allies
00:08:51You got it
00:08:53No one in this industry will be stupid enough
00:08:55To fight against the Gerber Corporation
00:08:58Wonderful
00:08:59Thanks
00:09:00Looking forward to a fruitful partnership
00:09:08I have evidence of Alex's scheme against you all
00:09:11Yeah
00:09:11But don't worry, I've already taken care of it
00:09:14I always knew Eleanor and Alex to be after my position
00:09:18I just didn't expect Alex to be this bold
00:09:21How do you know about this?
00:09:24Alex struck me as opportunistic
00:09:25A smear campaign is the easiest way to sway the shareholders' opinion
00:09:28And Eleanor's background in PR made this move predictable
00:09:31You're more perceptive than I thought
00:09:34Why are you helping me?
00:09:40Our family's alliance is crucial
00:09:41Protecting you means protecting the Gerber Corporation
00:09:44It's all business
00:09:46Business, right?
00:09:51Well, in that case I should help you with your beef with Catherine and Bradley, right?
00:09:57How did you know about that?
00:09:59You didn't expect me to enter into the marriage without doing background checks
00:10:03I just don't get what the big deal about your ex is
00:10:06I mean, they cheat on you
00:10:07So what?
00:10:11She must be faking it to trap you
00:10:14How dare you?
00:10:18You had no right to dig into my past like that
00:10:21I can take care of myself
00:10:23What she's helping?
00:10:31To your new position as senior VP
00:10:35And it's all thanks to my help, of course
00:10:38Absolutely
00:10:39You're my lucky charm, honey
00:10:41Imagine if I'd stay with me
00:10:48Poor and powerless
00:10:50That's all Shimmer was
00:10:51She's a joke
00:10:52A stepping stone at best
00:10:55You're by my side
00:10:56We are unstoppable
00:10:57So
00:10:57Cabernet Hospital is resisting our acquisition
00:11:11Bradley has the new senior VP
00:11:13Is leading the pushback
00:11:15Do they know I'm the CEO yet?
00:11:17No, as per your request
00:11:19Perfect
00:11:20Keep at it
00:11:21Now, how do I pull this off?
00:11:37There are gaps in Mia's medical record right after her breakup.
00:11:41These are from the Gerber Corporation's own hospital.
00:11:44Only someone higher up from within can access it.
00:11:51I want to know what happened to Mia during that gap, after the breakup.
00:11:57Even if I know, why would I tell you?
00:11:59Mia helped me, but unless I understand that part of the puzzle, I won't be able to return her faith.
00:12:05Do you care for her?
00:12:08Don't dislike her?
00:12:11No, Mia deserves someone who truly loves her.
00:12:14Not you.
00:12:15She's a grown woman.
00:12:17She knows what she wants.
00:12:18Nobody gets to tell her what she deserves.
00:12:20Especially not you.
00:12:29You can choose not to share the information, but you won't be helping her.
00:12:35Your choice.
00:12:36All right, look.
00:12:41If you have to know, unfortunately, we had a miscarriage because of an accident involving Bradley and Catherine.
00:12:50How are you feeling?
00:13:09How are you feeling?
00:13:12It's none of your business.
00:13:15Not that you would know what that means.
00:13:18I'm sorry for overstepping and being insensitive.
00:13:21I learned about your miscarriage.
00:13:23I had no idea.
00:13:25You didn't know?
00:13:26That doesn't excuse my behavior.
00:13:29I apologize.
00:13:30I may have ever reacted.
00:13:33You were hurting.
00:13:34That's understandable.
00:13:36So you're not a robot.
00:13:37The daughter says you are.
00:13:39Of course I'm not.
00:13:40Who says that?
00:13:41Everyone.
00:13:42Your family, your friends, your co-workers, enemies.
00:13:48I even heard the maids joking about it the other day.
00:13:50No, no, no, no, it's, it's okay.
00:13:55They're allowed to joke.
00:13:56They've been doing a wonderful job.
00:13:59Besides, I think you should talk like this.
00:14:02It suits you.
00:14:05It's not funny.
00:14:09It's like.
00:14:12I'm going to bed.
00:14:14Okay.
00:14:16Good night.
00:14:20Talk like this.
00:14:37Go ahead with Plan.
00:14:39Short song of Catherine's company.
00:14:41I want to see them bleed.
00:14:49Mia.
00:14:50You need to see this.
00:14:52The stock of Catherine's hospital has been shortened dramatically.
00:14:55They're on the verge of bankruptcy.
00:14:56Just a week?
00:14:58How is this possible?
00:14:59Seems like a coordinated attack.
00:15:01Someone powerful is behind this.
00:15:05Joshua.
00:15:11Did you short Catherine's stock?
00:15:14Yes, I did.
00:15:15Why?
00:15:16Strictly for business.
00:15:17To protect our family's alliances.
00:15:20Your enemies are my enemies now.
00:15:22Thank you, Joshua.
00:15:23State what's necessary.
00:15:24Just like you.
00:15:25Got to pay a little visit to Bradley and Captain.
00:15:27Bradley, what are we going to do?
00:15:38They're taking everything.
00:15:40I can't believe this is happening.
00:15:41As of now, this hospital is under Gerber Corporation's control.
00:15:47Yes, the Gerber Corporation.
00:15:48As in my family's company.
00:15:50Mia Gerber?
00:15:51I thought you were Mia Whitlock.
00:15:53Whitlock was just a name I used to conceal my identity.
00:15:56You betrayed and hurt my wife.
00:15:59Now you're facing the consequences.
00:16:00I've resigned.
00:16:01You can't touch me.
00:16:02Resignation or not, Bradley, your career is over.
00:16:05I've seen to it that everyone in this industry won't touch you after what you've done.
00:16:10Mia.
00:16:11You know that I never meant to hurt you.
00:16:14This hospital is all that I have left.
00:16:16Please.
00:16:16That day that I fell, you stood there and watched.
00:16:23You made your decision then.
00:16:25Mia, can we talk?
00:16:26I know I hurt you deeply.
00:16:27I just want to apologize to make things right.
00:16:44Mia, I'm truly sorry.
00:16:46About the reason.
00:16:48I dreamt about you and the baby every day.
00:16:51Just couldn't bring myself to tell you this after the accident.
00:16:54Because I felt so ashamed of myself.
00:16:56Your apology can't undo what's been done, Bradley.
00:16:59I know.
00:17:00I just...
00:17:01I need you to know that I will always care about you.
00:17:05Deeply.
00:17:16You're really like they say.
00:17:20Tall.
00:17:21Handsome.
00:17:22Powerful.
00:17:30You know I can make you a very happy man.
00:17:35Do not engage with women.
00:17:39Have no shame.
00:17:42Handsome.
00:17:47Catherine manipulated me.
00:17:48But now I realize she's nothing compared to you.
00:17:51We could start over.
00:17:53With your family's resources, I could help you grow the business.
00:17:56Wait for your parents again.
00:17:57Give us a chance.
00:17:59You know, if I wasn't 100% sure before, I am now.
00:18:03You're a piece of human trash.
00:18:08You're right, Andrew.
00:18:09But think about all the good memories we have.
00:18:11Think about more to come.
00:18:13Just...
00:18:13Let it go.
00:18:14Grab it.
00:18:15Grab it.
00:18:15Don't.
00:18:15Don't.
00:18:15Don't.
00:18:16Don't.
00:18:16Don't.
00:18:20I should have been on the end before Bradley could talk to you.
00:18:29It's fine.
00:18:30Thank you for stopping it.
00:18:33Thank you for everything.
00:18:39Yeah, I followed through with all my business plans.
00:18:43Right.
00:18:44Yeah.
00:18:45The business plan.
00:18:47You know, you call me your wife for the first time.
00:18:50Don't look into it.
00:18:51Let's go.
00:18:53Actually, you know what?
00:18:56Now that all the revenge is done, I think I want to take some time alone to figure out my feelings.
00:19:04I understand.
00:19:11They've destroyed everything.
00:19:12We can't let them get away with this.
00:19:15What if we take Mia?
00:19:20A ransom would help us, but hurt Mia.
00:19:23Yes.
00:19:26Abducting Mia Gerber.
00:19:29I see how Joshua Lane reacts then.
00:19:32But how will we get to Mia?
00:19:33I know that she always goes to this one spot alone.
00:19:37From what I know about her, she must be there right now.
00:19:40I know that she's going to be there right now.
00:19:41I know that she's going to be there right now.
00:19:42I know that she's going to be there right now.
00:19:43I know that she's going to be there right now.
00:19:44I know that she's going to be there right now.
00:19:45I know that she's going to be there right now.
00:19:46I know that she's going to be there right now.
00:19:47I know that she's going to be there right now.
00:19:48I know that she's going to be there right now.
00:20:49I thought you could get rid of us, Mia.
00:20:58You and Joshua will regret ever crossing us.
00:21:02Don't bring it into this, you bitch.
00:21:04Oh, that's what we're talking about.
00:21:21Look at you.
00:21:26Just as pathetic as the day you fell.
00:21:29Of course, I could have saved you.
00:21:31But why would I?
00:21:33You and your baby are worth nothing.
00:21:37You and your baby are worth nothing.
00:21:42Joshua Lane?
00:21:44Listen.
00:21:45We have Mia Gerber.
00:21:47We want her back.
00:21:48Get ready with a hefty ransom.
00:21:50I'll pay the rent.
00:21:51Well, listen to me clearly.
00:21:53I will hunt you down and you'll wish you'd never cross me.
00:22:04Based on the footage from Mia's car camera, it seems Bradley and Catherine are behind us.
00:22:08These are the possible locations where Mia can be.
00:22:14This one.
00:22:24Mia.
00:22:25Oh, God.
00:22:29Come on.
00:22:32Sit your own.
00:23:03Stop, stop, stop.
00:23:13It's not worth it.
00:23:33It's just like some day.
00:23:45Make it some soup.
00:23:48It's very unique.
00:23:56What is this?
00:23:58My mom's recipe.
00:24:00Before she passed away, she used to make it for me when I was sick.
00:24:03How did my comfort do?
00:24:06Must have been a problem.
00:24:07It's wonderful.
00:24:07I just did what I had to do.
00:24:14Oh, sure.
00:24:16Is this still just a marriage of convenience for you?
00:24:21Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Lane.
00:24:23A guest has arrived.
00:24:24Suzy, it's been ages.
00:24:30When's the last time we saw each other?
00:24:33Four years ago, before I went to abroad.
00:24:36It's for you.
00:24:38Oh, there's so much.
00:24:42Suzy, this is my wife, Mia.
00:24:46Mia, this is Suzy.
00:24:47Suzy, uh, in old...
00:24:48Mary.
00:24:49No, Suzy.
00:24:51That's not her.
00:24:52Joshua and I have a...
00:24:54It's like forever.
00:24:58Joshua and I talk often over the phone.
00:25:00He confides in me.
00:25:02I'm one of the few he truly trusts.
00:25:05He mentioned he was quite unhappy about the marriage.
00:25:08Right.
00:25:09Uh, well, it's things like you two have a lot to catch up on, so I'll leave you to it.
00:25:19Suzy, why would you say those things?
00:25:23I told you I had doubts before the wedding, not since then.
00:25:26Joshua, you're clearly unhappy.
00:25:29I was just speaking up for you.
00:25:31I don't need you to look out for me.
00:25:35Sorry.
00:25:35I just...
00:25:38I was trying to help, since you really don't want the marriage.
00:25:44I don't mind it, though.
00:25:46Do you like her?
00:25:48She's fine.
00:25:51This means I still have a chance.
00:25:54Joshua, if I had stayed by your side, you never would have had to marry a complete stranger like Mia Gerber.
00:26:03I'm sure it hasn't been pleasant.
00:26:05Now that I'm back, you can always talk to me.
00:26:09Suzy, you're a great friend.
00:26:11Of course.
00:26:13I'll always be there for you.
00:26:21How's it going?
00:26:24It's this marriage.
00:26:26It's Joshua.
00:26:27He's like a shadow.
00:26:28He's always there, but never really close.
00:26:31You deserve someone who will give you all the love and appreciation you need.
00:26:38Remember, if you ever need anything, I'm here.
00:26:42Thank you, Noah.
00:26:45How could I live without you?
00:26:50I can live without you.
00:26:51I don't think I've just had to protect you, man.
00:27:16I don't think I've just had to protect you, man.
00:27:25Joshua.
00:27:25We can't be like this forever.
00:27:35We have to talk.
00:27:36Why don't you talk to Noah?
00:27:41Seems like you have plenty to say to him.
00:27:42I don't even know what that means.
00:27:44There's nothing between Noah and me.
00:27:46You and Suzy are the other hand.
00:27:49What?
00:27:49Whatever you think, I don't care.
00:28:08What's he doing here?
00:28:12Look, I'm here to deliver some documents to Mia.
00:28:14Yeah.
00:28:19If you ever hurt her, you just know that I will protect her at all costs.
00:28:29And what exactly have you done to protect her?
00:28:32Seems like I'll talk with no action.
00:28:34What are you two doing?
00:28:38What's going on here?
00:28:39Joshua, why are you acting so rash?
00:28:41This is ridiculous.
00:28:42You invite him into our house just to talk to him?
00:28:44I didn't invite...
00:28:45Joshua!
00:28:45I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause him a grip between you, too.
00:28:50It wasn't my intention.
00:28:51It's fine.
00:28:52Why are you here?
00:28:53I'm here to protect you and the company.
00:28:56I suspect that Dwayne Kaiser has been inspiring with Melody Healthcare.
00:29:02Is that Dwayne?
00:29:04And the CEO of Melody Healthcare?
00:29:09This plan is a game changer.
00:29:12What about Melody Healthcare?
00:29:14They're our biggest threat.
00:29:16They're going in a completely different direction.
00:29:17We're way ahead of that.
00:29:20And how do you know, though?
00:29:22The CEO approached me the other day.
00:29:25The drug gives me information from me, but I flipped it and got some information from him.
00:29:29Like, I've been trying my own company, but you're fooling me, Dad.
00:29:32Right.
00:29:33Of course, Dwayne.
00:29:34Let's go ahead with the plan.
00:29:35See, he's fine.
00:29:45I don't know.
00:29:46There's something strange about him.
00:29:48I can't put my finger on it, but...
00:29:51Just keep your eyes open, okay?
00:29:53I will.
00:29:54Me suspected, but I made her trust me now.
00:30:02Let's go ahead and move forward with the plan.
00:30:05Excellent.
00:30:06Once we execute the strategy, the Kerber's will be blindsided.
00:30:11Melody Healthcare will be the number one.
00:30:14Me and Kerber will be out of the company.
00:30:18And I'll be the number one.
00:30:19How did they get ahead of us?
00:30:28This was our strategy.
00:30:29Where's Dwayne?
00:30:30He's outside.
00:30:44Melody Healthcare just announced their new AI-generated online psychiatric care.
00:30:48The similarity of the details to ours is uncanny.
00:30:55I don't know.
00:30:56We kept everything under wraps.
00:30:59They must have developed this independently.
00:31:01Yeah?
00:31:03They're just too young.
00:31:04They're not experienced enough in this business world.
00:31:06This stuff happens.
00:31:08I'm experienced enough to know that this is not a coincidence.
00:31:12And I don't need you to tell me what I do and do not know.
00:31:16You can know.
00:31:18Why do you look so sullen all the time?
00:31:33Doesn't look good on you.
00:31:36Wow.
00:31:36Thanks for the comfort.
00:31:43Damn it.
00:31:43Why do I have to say that?
00:31:48Ms. Kerber, an emergency board meeting has been called.
00:31:51What?
00:31:52We need to talk about the leadership of this company.
00:32:02It is clear that Mia's recent decisions, well, they've been questionable.
00:32:11Acquiring Catherine from this hospital was a big misstep.
00:32:15Now, Melody's health care is outpacing us.
00:32:19Mia, I'm sorry, but you're too young and inexperienced to be in this role.
00:32:25I believe under my leadership, our profits have already increased by 20% compared to last year.
00:32:31That's due to the overall market trend, not because of your leadership.
00:32:37My strategies have been more than effective.
00:32:40The Finley acquisition has potential long-term benefits.
00:32:43And our growth, by the way, is not just a fluke.
00:32:46This company, this board, needs a leader with experience and vision, not someone learning on the job.
00:32:55As a senior VP, on behalf of all the employees with Kerber Corporation, we support Mia.
00:33:01I also have evidence that Wayne Kizer has been conspiring Melody Health Care to undermine the company.
00:33:07I also have evidence that Wayne Kizer has been conspiring Melody Health Care to undermine the company.
00:33:12What is this? What are you doing?
00:33:18We thought communication between Wayne and Melody Health Care is our strategy.
00:33:26You're fired, Wayne. Effective immediately.
00:33:29I've been with you since you founded the company.
00:33:31All these years, I'm never the CEO, but you give it to your daughter?
00:33:34I've always known you were ambitious, but I never thought you would stoop this low.
00:33:38Your lack of trustworthiness is why you were never CEO.
00:33:44We built this company on integrity and trust.
00:33:47Values you clearly lack.
00:33:51Security, escort Mr. Kizer out.
00:33:54Wait.
00:33:55Hey.
00:33:56Mia, we're so proud of you.
00:34:08You really handled Chris as well.
00:34:11You truly are a girlfriend.
00:34:17No, I can't thank you enough.
00:34:19Of course.
00:34:20You know I'd do anything for you.
00:34:21You know, I never asked, but how did you get your hands on those documents?
00:34:27It all started with an anonymous tip.
00:34:30Someone delivered photos.
00:34:31Dwayne meeting with the owner of Melody Health Care.
00:34:34And I intercepted the tip.
00:34:38What's this new schedule for the week?
00:34:40What's this?
00:34:41Um, seems to be about Mr. Kizer.
00:34:44I'll take that too.
00:34:45Thanks.
00:34:46Thanks.
00:34:46Thanks.
00:34:46Thanks.
00:34:46Thanks.
00:34:51Anonymous.
00:34:57Who would do that?
00:34:59I don't know.
00:35:00But the photos led me to dig deeper.
00:35:03And eventually I found clear evidence of his betrayal.
00:35:07Can I see the photos?
00:35:15I think I might know who's behind this.
00:35:17But I need to confirm.
00:35:18Oh.
00:35:21Ethan, I need to talk to you about these photos.
00:35:26Is this you?
00:35:27In the reflection?
00:35:28Were you following Dwayne?
00:35:30Yeah, it's me.
00:35:32Joshua asked me to keep an eye on Dwayne.
00:35:34He said his suspicions about Dwayne's loyalty for a while.
00:35:37We then delivered the photos.
00:35:40Mr. Lane, what are some crimes?
00:35:44Should I tell Ms. Lane you're here?
00:35:45No need to.
00:35:46Why couldn't Joshua just tell me about his suspicions?
00:35:54Joshua's a...
00:35:55He's a complicated man.
00:35:57He means well, but he struggles with expressing himself.
00:36:00He's never gone through such steps for anyone before me, and this must mean he cares about you.
00:36:06He could just talk to me next time.
00:36:09Well, Joshua has his ways.
00:36:11He might not show it, but he cares deeply.
00:36:13I just ask that you...
00:36:16Don't hurt him.
00:36:19No.
00:36:21Your loyal friend, Ethan.
00:36:31Joshua, I need to talk to you.
00:36:34It's about Dwayne Kaiser and Melody Healthcare.
00:36:36What about it?
00:36:37I know you sent Ethan to follow Dwayne.
00:36:40Why didn't you just talk to me?
00:36:42It just seemed like the best course of action at the time.
00:36:44Joshua, is there more to this marriage than the alliance?
00:36:48Did you do it because...
00:36:50No, no.
00:36:50It's nothing like that.
00:36:52I just couldn't have my wife being voted out of a CEO on paper.
00:36:56It looked bad for me.
00:36:57So it's all about appearances?
00:36:59Yes, ma'am.
00:37:01It's all it ever is.
00:37:02We agreed to a business arrangement.
00:37:03Joshua, I'm so tired of this.
00:37:07Of living in a fantasy where I never actually get to know you.
00:37:11I'm more than just a tool for business advancement or keeping up appearances.
00:37:18I want a divorce.
00:37:22I want a divorce.
00:37:24You sure about this?
00:37:31I deserve something real in my life, Joshua.
00:37:34I love this.
00:37:36The thought.
00:37:37I deserve to be more than just a business arrangement in somebody's life.
00:37:41I want genuine happiness.
00:37:44I understand.
00:37:45If that's what you want.
00:37:51Joshua, please.
00:37:52I'll see you with a divorce.
00:37:56I'll see you with a divorce.
00:37:56I'll see you with a divorce.
00:38:22I'll see you with a divorce.
00:38:36Joshua, what are you doing to yourself?
00:38:39No.
00:38:40I mean, no.
00:38:43Here, don't leave.
00:38:44Don't leave.
00:38:44You're drunk.
00:38:45Please, help me take him to his car.
00:38:48No.
00:38:48I'll take him to my place.
00:38:51You shouldn't be alone.
00:38:54Okay.
00:38:55Let's go.
00:38:56Good morning, Josh.
00:39:17Here, drink this.
00:39:19You've had quite a night.
00:39:21Where am I?
00:39:25This is my apartment.
00:39:27Nothing bad happened.
00:39:29I also drove your car back here.
00:39:32How did I get here?
00:39:33You were really drunk.
00:39:36I didn't think you should be alone.
00:39:38Josh, what happened?
00:39:41It's over between me and me.
00:39:43We're getting our divorce.
00:39:44Maybe it was never meant to be.
00:39:53You deserve someone who understands and loves you.
00:40:04No, I can't do this, Susie.
00:40:06Why?
00:40:09I have always loved you.
00:40:12Now that you and me are getting a divorce, we can finally be together.
00:40:15Susie, you are a dear friend and like a little sister.
00:40:20It can't be anything more.
00:40:23I'm sorry.
00:40:25Do you really love that meal, Kerber?
00:40:29No.
00:40:32Yes, Susie.
00:40:32I'm out of fact.
00:40:33I'll do it.
00:40:34No.
00:40:34No.
00:40:35No.
00:40:35No, I'm out of fact.
00:41:04I've decided to divorce Joshua.
00:41:07Are you okay?
00:41:09Fine.
00:41:10It's just...
00:41:11We're the best.
00:41:13It's not that I need to tell you, you're a little person.
00:41:16Sorry.
00:41:17It's the hospital.
00:41:18Hello?
00:41:19What?
00:41:21What happened?
00:41:22Is he okay?
00:41:24Okay, yeah, I'll be right there.
00:41:26What's wrong?
00:41:27It's Joshua.
00:41:28He's been in an accident.
00:41:29Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.
00:41:38I'm here for Joshua Lane.
00:41:47Joshua.
00:41:47Joshua.
00:41:49Miss Kerber?
00:41:51Yeah.
00:41:51We found that Mr. Lane was attempting to call you when the accident occurred.
00:41:57Somebody's fault.
00:42:00It was nobody's fault.
00:42:02It was an accident.
00:42:03But right now, she needs you.
00:42:06Do your best to help me wake up, Lee.
00:42:07I won't leave you, Joshua.
00:42:17Remember that soup you made me?
00:42:19I meant the world to me.
00:42:22Whenever you get better, we'll make you that soup.
00:42:27Because it was your mom's recipe.
00:42:31It was those little moments with you.
00:42:35You know, whenever we would wake up and come out of our rooms and see each other in the morning,
00:42:41sometimes it was the happiest part of my day.
00:42:52Please come back to me.
00:42:54This is all your fault, Mia.
00:43:00You drove him to this.
00:43:03You hurt him.
00:43:05And now, look what's happened to him.
00:43:14Mia, we have a problem.
00:43:17Eleanor and Alex are plotting to make Alex the new CEO while Joshua's in a coma.
00:43:21Now even Joshua's father's been convinced.
00:43:24So they're using Joshua's condition to their advantage.
00:43:27I won't stand for him.
00:43:28What's the plan?
00:43:30I'm meeting with Mr. Lane.
00:43:31He's a key shareholder of Lane Holdings.
00:43:34His voice can swear to me.
00:43:37Short notice, Mr. Lane.
00:43:38I've always been curious about the famous Mia Gerber.
00:43:41After all, you're the one who led Gerber Corporation to the next level.
00:43:45Who do you think?
00:43:45I'm merely stating a fact.
00:43:47Not everyone in the second generation is as capable as you.
00:43:51So, tell me.
00:43:53Why do you want to see me?
00:43:55Is it about Alex being the new CEO?
00:43:58You're a wise man, Mr. Lane.
00:44:00Joshua's vision has been the driving force behind Lane Holdings.
00:44:05We cannot allow Alex to derail that.
00:44:07I can't do anything at this time.
00:44:10Joshua is out of commission.
00:44:12It's best to have someone lead the company.
00:44:15Gerald is not in good health after a stroke.
00:44:17Alex is the only choice.
00:44:21What if I told you there's another choice?
00:44:26What if I told you there's another choice?
00:44:30I can be the interim CEO of Lane Holdings as Joshua's legal wife.
00:44:35I can uphold his legacy and, as you mentioned before, I'm a very capable CEO in my own right.
00:44:41Your vote, of course, is crucial, but more than anything, people trust your judgment.
00:44:47If you choose to have faith in me, others will follow.
00:44:50And I promise, I won't disappoint.
00:44:54Can you run two companies at the same time?
00:44:57I have a very capable team over at Gerber Corporation.
00:45:00They'll keep things running smoothly, even if I'm not there full-time.
00:45:03I'll devote my time to Lane Holdings until Joshua gets back.
00:45:08What if he doesn't?
00:45:10He won't.
00:45:12I admire your tenacity.
00:45:14I'll do what I can.
00:45:16Thank you, Mr. Lee.
00:45:17I'll fight for you, Joshua.
00:45:38You did the same for me.
00:45:43We'll let you down.
00:45:44Given Joshua's current condition, I propose Mia Gerber as the interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:45:58Mia Gerber?
00:46:00She's from a different company.
00:46:02How is she even qualified?
00:46:03Mia is Joshua's wife, the legal heir.
00:46:06She's proven her capabilities with Gerber Corporation.
00:46:08Finding the strength of both companies and her leadership will only make Lane Holdings strong.
00:46:14This is absurd.
00:46:16Mia is practically a stranger to our company's operation.
00:46:20While I appreciate your concerns, I think my track record speaks for itself.
00:46:26And unlike Alex here, who has had his hand in multiple questionable business dealings,
00:46:31I offer a clean slate and a fresh perspective.
00:46:36I agree with Mr. Lane.
00:46:38Mia's appointment as interim CEO is the best course of action for now.
00:46:43What's that?
00:46:44Stop, Alex.
00:46:44Alex.
00:46:50Joshua, I hope you're proud.
00:46:56Let's go.
00:46:57Ain't gonna take over.
00:46:59No consequences, ma'am.
00:47:01I'm gonna make a pay.
00:47:05Won't be touching her.
00:47:07Who the fuck are you?
00:47:13Damn it.
00:47:14She's tall.
00:47:15Take care of her.
00:47:24See the security camera?
00:47:25I'm gonna get the footage.
00:47:27If you ever try and hurt me again, I'll call the police.
00:47:30You'll never become a CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:47:32Ever.
00:47:34Damn it!
00:47:45Next thing.
00:47:54Noel, what happened?
00:47:55Don't worry, I'm fine.
00:47:57You're not fine.
00:47:59You're bleeding.
00:48:02Are you okay?
00:48:07Thanks.
00:48:08But the reason I came over was I wanted to finish our conversation from before.
00:48:13Mrs. Lane.
00:48:14It's Mr. Lane.
00:48:15He's waking up from the coma.
00:48:19I have to go to the hospital.
00:48:22No, no.
00:48:23Nothing's more important than Joshua.
00:48:24Joshua, right?
00:48:24Joshua, Joshua, Joshua, Joshua, he's fucking Joshua.
00:48:36When you wake up, we can be together.
00:48:40Mia doesn't deserve you.
00:48:41Mia doesn't deserve you.
00:48:43But you and I, we're meant to be.
00:48:48Mia doesn't deserve you.
00:48:49I'm sorry.
00:48:50I'm sorry.
00:48:51I'm sorry.
00:48:52Mia.
00:48:53Joshua, you're awake.
00:48:56Mia.
00:48:57Mia.
00:48:58Excuse me, miss.
00:49:01Mr. Lane?
00:49:04Mr. Lane?
00:49:08Mia.
00:49:08Mia.
00:49:09Can you hear me, sir?
00:49:10Mia.
00:49:11Call his wife, Mia Gerber, immediately.
00:49:14Mr. Lane, I need you to concentrate for me.
00:49:16Do you remember what day it is?
00:49:18Mia.
00:49:19Yes.
00:49:20We're getting your wife right now, sir.
00:49:21I'm sorry, sir.
00:49:28I'm sorry.
00:49:29This is all my fault.
00:49:30No, Mia.
00:49:32Don't blame yourself.
00:49:35It's a Christ.
00:49:35I was really afraid.
00:49:36You got hurt because of me.
00:49:38Yeah.
00:49:39Listen to me.
00:49:43I'm sorry for all the pain that caused you.
00:49:47I'm not being honest about my feelings.
00:49:48I was afraid to admit it and to myself and hide it anymore.
00:49:57I love you, Mia.
00:50:00I'm not afraid that I'd hear you say those words.
00:50:04You should have said them sooner.
00:50:07I love you too, Joshua.
00:50:18Noah Bellini.
00:50:37Drinking alone?
00:50:38What do you want, Dwayne?
00:50:39Just a talk.
00:50:41You are underappreciating, Noah.
00:50:42Maybe we can help each other out.
00:50:52Thank you for standing up for me while I was out.
00:50:56I heard you manage as interim CEO, Lane Holdings.
00:50:59I handle things.
00:51:02I actually have a business meeting later today with a potential partner.
00:51:06Who's the partner?
00:51:07Kevin Kalfs.
00:51:08He's a key player in the industry.
00:51:13Tats, he's notorious for being pansy with business huggers.
00:51:18I don't like the idea of you two being alone.
00:51:21I can handle Pops.
00:51:23The developers.
00:51:25Just be careful.
00:51:27I'm not.
00:51:28Noah.
00:51:28Noah.
00:51:28Is to make our partnership more enjoyable?
00:51:39Mr. Kalfs, let's keep this strictly professional.
00:51:44Oh, come on, Mia.
00:51:45Don't be such a prude.
00:51:47Business is more fun when there's a personal touch.
00:51:53Don't you agree?
00:51:54I will not be doing business with people who cannot respect personal boundaries.
00:52:01You'll regret this.
00:52:03If I could ruin Lane Holdings' reputation.
00:52:09Now you have one last chance.
00:52:11Oh!
00:52:13Oh!
00:52:16That's for being a disgusting pig.
00:52:17Hey.
00:52:28How'd the meeting go?
00:52:32Let's just say Kevin Kalfs won't be bothering us anymore.
00:52:35What did he do?
00:52:36I handled it.
00:52:38Okay.
00:52:40Let's just focus on getting you better and back in charge.
00:52:44Can I get you some water?
00:52:46Okay.
00:52:47Ethan, get the bodyguard you meet me downstairs.
00:52:59I can't explain right now.
00:52:59Just do it.
00:53:06Where's Sashwa?
00:53:07Mr. Lane checked out.
00:53:09He insisted he was well enough to leave.
00:53:11No.
00:53:11He's not fully recovered yet.
00:53:12What are you trying to do?
00:53:19I'll teach you a lesson that you can't touch Joshua Lane's woman.
00:53:26You can't do this, Lane.
00:53:30I can sue you and you'll end up in jail.
00:53:34This is you, Mr. Kalfs.
00:53:36There was something quite illegal.
00:53:38I must say, your taste is really reprehensible.
00:53:42You can't sue me.
00:53:44It was a long time ago.
00:53:46If I can still release the video, you'll lose everything.
00:53:49In fact, I just did.
00:53:53If the victim's identity was protected, then they'll be set for the rest of their life.
00:54:01Where were you?
00:54:01I was worried sick.
00:54:03I had to take care of something.
00:54:05I don't care.
00:54:06I told you I handled it.
00:54:08I can take care of myself.
00:54:09I won't allow anyone laying their hands on you.
00:54:12Still, you're so reckless.
00:54:13It's okay now.
00:54:19You handled it?
00:54:20Yeah.
00:54:21I'm flattered by the jealousy.
00:54:25I really do love you, Joshua.
00:54:29I love you too, Mia.
00:54:33I have a surprise for you.
00:54:34Yeah.
00:54:43I made something for you.
00:54:46What's this?
00:54:47It's your mom's recipe.
00:54:50I found it in a cookbook in the library.
00:54:55I can't believe you made this.
00:54:58That it may bring you some comfort.
00:54:59This is exactly how she used to make it.
00:55:12How'd you get it so right?
00:55:14I may have had some help from the internet in about 50 practice runs.
00:55:22Yeah, just us.
00:55:23We have a plan that can shift the balance of power in our favor.
00:55:33Our plan didn't overthrow Mia Gerber and the Gerber Corporation.
00:55:38But this time, we will.
00:55:41It's just I don't want Mia to lose everything.
00:55:43I promise you, she won't.
00:55:46With the Gerber family's fortune, Mia's set for life.
00:55:49She just won't be the CEO anymore.
00:55:52Think about this.
00:55:54With the Gerber family out of practice,
00:55:56Lane Holdings,
00:55:58they won't partner with them.
00:55:59Joshua Lane will probably divorce Mia
00:56:01because she has no use to him.
00:56:04Mia could finally be yours.
00:56:06Here's the plan.
00:56:08We target Gerber Corporation's medical device supplier network.
00:56:12This roughly will cause significant issues
00:56:14in the hospital and psychiatric care units.
00:56:18We proceed.
00:56:19Melody Healthcare has insiders inside their supply chain.
00:56:24We'll start by creating delays and quality issues.
00:56:27The fallout will be immediate and devastating.
00:56:31The resources are just so thin,
00:56:33they won't even see us coming.
00:56:35Congratulations on your recovery, Joshua.
00:56:44It's good to see you up and about.
00:56:46Thanks for coming.
00:56:47And thank you for, um,
00:56:50being there for me.
00:56:51You're in a coma.
00:56:53It means a lot.
00:56:55But it didn't matter, did it?
00:56:57In the end, only Mia matters to you.
00:57:02Susie, you'll always matter to me.
00:57:06But, yes, I love Mia.
00:57:09I'll always love you too, but as a friend.
00:57:12That's not going to be enough for me.
00:57:15It's time for me to live my own life.
00:57:19That's why I'm here.
00:57:21To say goodbye.
00:57:23Um, what's your plan?
00:57:26I'm helping out my dad with our family company.
00:57:29Harper Medical Devices.
00:57:30Let's go to the corporation's British supplier, right?
00:57:34Yeah.
00:57:36Susie, you wouldn't?
00:57:37Don't worry, Joshua.
00:57:39You're not going to do anything to Mia.
00:57:41Focusing on my own path now.
00:57:46Goodbye, Joshua.
00:57:47Why are there still making out some contracts with Gerber Corporation?
00:58:06Hey.
00:58:08You haven't noticed any suppliers backing out of deals with Gerber Corporation.
00:58:12There are rumors someone's been persuading them to cut ties with the Gerber's.
00:58:29What?
00:58:33What do you mean they stopped supplying to us?
00:58:35Noah, the suppliers are backing out for no reason.
00:58:51It's competitive marketing, yeah.
00:58:53Yeah, but this feels coordinated.
00:58:54Isn't that unusual?
00:58:56Yeah, it is.
00:58:57I'm going to look into it.
00:59:00Hey, are you okay?
00:59:02Yeah, I'm fine.
00:59:02I'm just busy.
00:59:03Don't worry about me.
00:59:06Okay.
00:59:14You look like you've been through a war, so what happened?
00:59:18It's the supplier crisis.
00:59:21The situation's worse than I thought.
00:59:25I don't know what to do, Joshua.
00:59:30We'll get through this together.
00:59:35Thank you all for coming.
00:59:44We understand your concerns, and we're prepared to increase profits to maintain our partnerships.
00:59:50Now, the author looks good.
01:00:03But we heard some rumors on internal issues within the corporation company, involving a higher level.
01:00:09Let me assure you, Gerber Corporation is as strong as ever.
01:00:14These rumors are unfounded.
01:00:16You're right.
01:00:27There are gaps in Noah's whereabouts.
01:00:29I keep digging, Ethan.
01:00:30We need concrete evidence.
01:00:32Mia, Noah might be involved with the issues of the company.
01:00:40There's no way.
01:00:41He's very loyal to the company.
01:00:44Although he has been acting weird lately, man.
01:00:46Have you ever considered him to have feelings for you?
01:00:49Mean feelings make us do things.
01:00:52No.
01:00:53Noah's a brother to me.
01:00:55He's never even said anything remotely romantic.
01:00:57Marks can speak louder than words.
01:01:02I mean, sure, he's supportive and caring, but that's just Noah being Noah.
01:01:06I really don't think there's anything more to it.
01:01:10Sometimes the people closest to us surprise us the most.
01:01:13Hey, just wanted to check in.
01:01:20We haven't had any time to talk lately.
01:01:22I've been good.
01:01:23I've been busy dealing with the supplier crisis.
01:01:25I know.
01:01:26And I'm really grateful for you.
01:01:28You've done so much.
01:01:29I never wanted you to be burdened.
01:01:31I care too much about you.
01:01:32Yeah.
01:01:37Hey, I have a question.
01:01:40You don't secretly have feelings for me, do you?
01:01:51What if I do?
01:01:54Oh, um.
01:01:57Really?
01:01:59I've put this off for too long.
01:02:02And I need to tell you now.
01:02:05I've loved you since the first time I met you.
01:02:10I don't remember that day like it was yesterday.
01:02:14We were just starting college and came to visit the office during summer break.
01:02:19Roughly dressed and looked like a princess.
01:02:22I was just starting off the company and I come from a humble background, so I never thought
01:02:28I could be with someone like you.
01:02:30Not anymore.
01:02:33I'm stronger.
01:02:35I'm more keen.
01:02:36I know we should be together here.
01:02:40Noah.
01:02:46I've really only ever seen you as a friend.
01:02:53So you just asked for us to think for you?
01:02:55I've done more.
01:02:56No.
01:02:58I love him.
01:02:59Okay?
01:02:59We understand each other.
01:03:02Because we both want the silver spoons in your mouth and I wasn't.
01:03:04You know it's not that.
01:03:08I just, I have a really strong feeling about him.
01:03:13Just not for me.
01:03:16Noah, I'm sorry.
01:03:19I didn't mean to lead you on.
01:03:22It wasn't my intention to hurt you.
01:03:23It's okay.
01:03:27It's okay.
01:03:29I understand.
01:03:32I just need to hear from you.
01:03:35Yeah.
01:03:40Dwayne?
01:03:42Double down on the plan.
01:03:43There's no going back now.
01:03:52Noah.
01:03:54What brings you here?
01:03:56I think it's time for your company to reconsider its partnership with Gerber.
01:04:00I'm not sure what you're implying.
01:04:02It's simple.
01:04:03Harbor Medical Devices is the biggest supplier for Gerber Corporation.
01:04:06If you cut the eyes with Gerber, you'll deal a critical bloat.
01:04:13So, you're the one behind the scheme.
01:04:18Why would I go along with it?
01:04:21The question is, why wouldn't you?
01:04:23You and I are alike, Susie.
01:04:25There's a lot of people who don't love us back.
01:04:28I've already let it go.
01:04:30I've already let it go when we start a chance.
01:04:33Me and the Gerber family are out of the company.
01:04:35The Levine family won the business alliance.
01:04:38Joshua and Nia will get divorced.
01:04:42You and I can finally be with them.
01:04:48Join them.
01:04:49Together we can make sure we aren't ignoring anyone.
01:04:55So, Mia,
01:04:57with our smartest suppliers are terminating contracts.
01:05:00Trust me, we have the situation under control.
01:05:03That's not what I heard.
01:05:03The rumor is Harbor Medical Devices pulling out.
01:05:08How do you explain this?
01:05:09I assure you we're addressing the concerns,
01:05:11but our relationship with our suppliers has never been stronger.
01:05:15As one of the largest shareholders,
01:05:17I have complete faith in his leadership.
01:05:20These rumors are just that.
01:05:21Rumors.
01:05:22The rumor was right.
01:05:30Harbor Medical Devices decided to terminate the contract with us.
01:05:34But there's still hope.
01:05:36I've convinced Harbor to continue their partnership with us.
01:05:38But only if I become the new CEO.
01:05:44It's time for a change in leadership.
01:05:46Someone who could steer this company in the right direction.
01:05:49So I brought Susie Harper with me,
01:05:51the acting CEO of Harbor Medical Devices.
01:05:55Susie will tell you all that she would like Mia Gerber to resign.
01:05:59Actually, I think there's been a misunderstanding.
01:06:04Harbor Medical Devices never intended to terminate our contracts with Harbor Corporation.
01:06:09Any rumor suggesting otherwise is false.
01:06:14Furthermore, I believe in Mia's leadership and the direction that she's taking.
01:06:19Thank you, Susie.
01:06:22I owe you a big one.
01:06:24You don't owe me anything.
01:06:26I just know Joshua, that person he loves, to be happy.
01:06:32You're all with me.
01:06:33Never have you.
01:06:38And I have evidence that Noah Bellani has been conspiring
01:06:41with former ousted executive Dwayne Kaiser to sabotage the company.
01:06:45Mr. Bellani,
01:06:49your actions have endangered the company and everybody in it.
01:06:54You're therefore terminated in the game.
01:07:15It's quite the view.
01:07:24I thought a lot about what happened.
01:07:27And I wanted to say sorry.
01:07:30I should have been clearer.
01:07:32And it made me leave you on.
01:07:35My actions.
01:07:36I'm sorry for everything.
01:07:40I've learned to let go.
01:07:41I just want you to be happy.
01:07:46I am.
01:07:49I hope you find your happiness, too.
01:07:53Take care, Noah.
01:07:57You too.
01:07:57We are gathered here today to witness the reaffirmation of vows
01:08:11between Mia and Joshua Lane.
01:08:16Joshua, our marriage was out of necessity.
01:08:19But you've become my partner.
01:08:22My rock.
01:08:23My best friend.
01:08:25Mia, you've given me the gift of a real family.
01:08:29I'll vow to cherish and love you forever.
01:08:33This is just the beginning of our forever.
01:08:34This is just the beginning of our forever.
