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?
00:00:58She must be making it to try.
00:01:01She's so desperate.
00:01:04Give it back.
00:01:05Stop.
00:01:06Give it back.
00:01:06Give it back.
00:01:08Oh!
00:01:11Oh!
00:01:11Give it to me.
00:01:13No.
00:01:14Oh.
00:01:15I don't know.
00:01:34What happened?
00:01:38Is the baby okay?
00:01:43I'm so sorry.
00:01:45We lost the baby.
00:01:51So sorry.
00:01:57We're right here, Snakeheart.
00:01:58We're right here.
00:02:08I won't let Bradley and that woman get away with this.
00:02:13I'm ready to come back, darling.
00:02:15Well, revenge 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.
00:02:25Okay.
00:02:26But there is a condition.
00:02:28I have an important announcement.
00:02:34My daughter, Mia Gerber, will be the new CEO of Gerber Corporation.
00:02:39Isn't Mia ready for such a big role?
00:02:41I've been concealing my identity to 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, Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:03:00Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:03:03There is a condition.
00:03:07You're going to have to marry Joshua Lane, the heir of Lane Holdings.
00:03:12Mia'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.
00:03:21I'll do it.
00:03:25I'll marry Joshua Lane if that's what it takes.
00:03:29And this alliance will strengthen our company and secure our future.
00:03:35Isn't Joshua Lane thanks for being called to me, Ruffles?
00:03:47That's what I heard.
00:03:49And I think it'll be good to a company.
00:03:50I think it'll be good for a CEO.
00:04:05Joshua, I was hoping we'll be good.
00:04:14Not interested.
00:04:16Get lost.
00:04:20Man, you are brutal.
00:04:22That's the fifth girl you've turned down tonight.
00:04:25Hey, 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.
00:04:31Couldn't care less about her.
00:04:32Look at mine.
00:04:33She's the heiress to the Gerber Corporation.
00:04:35There must be some perks to her.
00:04:36Perks or not, she'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.
00:04:55Do you, Joshua Lane, take Mia Gerber for your lawfully wounded wife?
00:05:00I do.
00:05:00And you, Mia Gerber, do you take Joshua Lane for your lawfully wounded husband?
00:05:08I do.
00:05:10Well, 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.
00:05:42Understood.
00:05:43And 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.
00:06:06Joshua Lane has always been so distant with people.
00:06:28Unlike Alex here, who's so popular and charismatic.
00:06:34You should sit out of the room and I can't stop chasing.
00:06:37Well, at least I don't have to worry if Alex can give me a grandson.
00:06:42But I wonder, Joshua, if you can even warm up enough to give me a child.
00:06:49We need an heir after all.
00:06:51Eleanor?
00:06:52That's enough.
00:06:53I'm just saying.
00:06:56Perhaps Alex is a better fit to leave Lane Horowitz.
00:06:59Quite the contrary.
00:07:01Actually, Joshua's very passionate.
00:07:05Especially in the bedroom.
00:07:06No doubt that you'll have that heir soon.
00:07:15Pure information.
00:07:17Passion is not in my DNA.
00:07:19Nor does it align with my personal brand.
00:07:21But still, thank you for signing up.
00:07:28I just didn't appreciate your stepmom's attitude.
00:07:37Get the campaign ready.
00:07:39I want that check out.
00:07:40Peace.
00:07:45No, hey.
00:07:47I need a favor.
00:07:48You're right.
00:07:53Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua.
00:07:57Gluedon and PR is already involved.
00:08:00What agency are we using?
00:08:02We're settled siding.
00:08:03Bids are open for this year's contract.
00:08:06Perfect.
00:08:08I 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, Miss Gerber.
00:08:20What do you ask of me in return?
00:08:23I need you to withdraw from any campaign against Joshua Lane.
00:08:27I don't mind.
00:08:28I'll cover the cancellation for you.
00:08:29You have a deal.
00:08:37The Gerber Corporation account is too good to pass on.
00:08:41There's a little more.
00:08:43I need you to spread the word.
00:08:45Any PR firm that goes against Joshua Lane will be blacklisted from the Gerber Corporation and our allies.
00:08:52You got it.
00:08:53No one in this industry will be stupid enough to fight against the Gerber Corporation.
00:08:59Wonderful.
00:09:00Thanks.
00:09:01Looking forward to a fruitful partnership.
00:09:08I have evidence of Alex's scheme against you all.
00:09:11Yeah.
00:09:12But don't worry, I've already taken care of it.
00:09:16I always knew Eleanor and Alex to be after my position.
00:09:19I just didn't expect Alex to be this bold.
00:09:22How 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.
00:09:33I'm more perceptive than I thought.
00:09:35Why are you helping me?
00:09:40Our family's alliance is crucial.
00:09:42Protecting you means protecting the Gerber Corporation.
00:09:45It's all business.
00:09:49Business, right.
00:09:50Well, in that case, I should help you with your beef with Catherine and Bradley, right?
00:09:57How did you know about that?
00:09:59Didn'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.
00:10:08So what?
00:10:08She must be faking it to trap you.
00:10:16How dare you?
00:10:18You have no right to dig into my past like that.
00:10:21I can take care of myself.
00:10:27What she's home.
00:10:31To your new position as senior VP.
00:10:35And it's all thanks to my help, of course.
00:10:39Absolutely.
00:10:40You're my lucky charm, honey.
00:10:45Oh.
00:10:47Imagine if I'd stay with me.
00:10:49Poor and powerless.
00:10:50That's all Shimmer was.
00:10:51She's a joke.
00:10:53A stepping stone at best.
00:10:55Keep by my side.
00:10:56We are unstoppable.
00:10:57And that's not.
00:11:09Havens Hospital is resisting our acquisition.
00:11:12Bradley has the new senior VP.
00:11:14He's leading the pushback.
00:11:16Do they know I'm the CEO yet?
00:11:17No.
00:11:18As 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.
00:11:55After the breakup.
00:11:57Even if I know, why would I tell you?
00:11:59Mia helped me.
00:12:00But unless I understand that part of the puzzle,
00:12:03I won't be able to return to her favor.
00:12:05Do you care for her?
00:12:08Don't dislike her?
00:12:11No.
00:12:11Mia 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.
00:12:32But you won't be helping her.
00:12:35Your choice.
00:12:39All right.
00:12:40Look.
00:12:41If you have to know,
00:12:43unfortunately,
00:12:46we had a miscarriage
00:12:47because of an accident involving Bradley and Catherine.
00:12:50I'm sorry for overstepping.
00:13:19and 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.
00:13:31I 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 am.
00:13:39Who says that?
00:13:41Everyone.
00:13:42Everyone.
00:13:42Your family.
00:13:43Your friends.
00:13:44Your co-workers.
00:13:46Enemies.
00:13:48I even heard the maids joking about it the other day.
00:13:51Pardon them all.
00:13:52No.
00:13:52No.
00:13:53No.
00:13:53It's okay.
00:13:55They're allowed to joke.
00:13:56They've been doing a wonderful job.
00:13:59Besides,
00:13:59I think you should
00:14:00talk like this.
00:14:02It suits you.
00:14:03It's not funny.
00:14:07I
00:14:08sleep.
00:14:12I'm going to bed.
00:14:14Okay.
00:14:16Good night.
00:14:23Talk like this.
00:14:25Go ahead with Plan.
00:14:39Short stop.
00:14:39Catherine'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
00:14:53has been shortened dramatically.
00:14:55They're on the verge of bankruptcy.
00:14:56Just a
00:14:57weak host is possible.
00:14:59Seems like a coordinated attack.
00:15:01Someone powerful is behind this.
00:15:05Joshua.
00:15:11Did you short
00:15:12Catherine's stop?
00:15:14Yes, I did.
00:15:15Why?
00:15:16Strictly for business.
00:15:18To protect our family's alliances.
00:15:20Your enemies are my enemies now.
00:15:22Thank you, Joshua.
00:15:23Stick what's necessary.
00:15:24Just like you.
00:15:25Now to pay a little visit
00:15:26to Bradley and Catherine.
00:15:36Bradley,
00:15:36what are we going to do?
00:15:38They're taking everything.
00:15:40I can't believe this is happening.
00:15:43As of now,
00:15:44this hospital is under
00:15:45Gerber Corporation's control.
00:15:47Yes,
00:15:47the 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
00:15:54to conceal my identity.
00:15:56You betrayed and hurt my wife.
00:15:59Now you're facing the consequences.
00:16:00I'd resign.
00:16:01You can't touch me.
00:16:02Resignation or not, Bradley,
00:16:04your career is over.
00:16:05I've seen to it that everyone
00:16:06in this industry won't touch you
00:16:08after what you've done.
00:16:10Mia,
00:16:11you know that I never meant to hurt you.
00:16:14This hospital is all
00:16:15that I have left.
00:16:16Please!
00:16:19That day that I fell,
00:16:21you stood there and watched.
00:16:23You made your decision then.
00:16:25Mia, can we tell?
00:16:26I know I hurt you deeply.
00:16:27I just want to apologize
00:16:28to make things right.
00:16:30Okay.
00:16:30Mia, I'm truly sorry
00:16:46about the reason.
00:16:48I dreamt about you
00:16:49and the baby every day.
00:16:51Just couldn't bring myself
00:16:52to tell you this
00:16:53after the accident
00:16:53because I felt so ashamed of myself.
00:16:56Your apology can't undo
00:16:57what's been done, Bradley.
00:16:58I know.
00:17:00I just...
00:17:01I need you to know
00:17:02that I will always care about you
00:17:04deeply.
00:17:18You're really like they say.
00:17:20Tall.
00:17:21Handsome.
00:17:22Powerful.
00:17:28You know I can make you
00:17:32a very happy man.
00:17:37Do not engage with women
00:17:39who have no shame.
00:17:42Handsome.
00:17:47Catherine manipulated me,
00:17:49but now I realize
00:17:49she's nothing compared to you.
00:17:51We could start over.
00:17:53With your family's resources,
00:17:54I could help you grow the business.
00:17:55Wait for the parents again.
00:17:57Give us a chance.
00:17:59You know,
00:18:00if I wasn't 100% sure before,
00:18:03I am not.
00:18:04You're a piece of human trash.
00:18:08You're right, Hunter.
00:18:09But think about all the good memories
00:18:10we have.
00:18:11Think about more to come.
00:18:13Just...
00:18:13Let it go.
00:18:14Mia, don't...
00:18:14Grab it.
00:18:15I'm serious, don't...
00:18:16I should have learned anything
00:18:28before Bradley could talk to you.
00:18:29It's fine, Joshua.
00:18:31Thank you for stopping it.
00:18:33Thank you for...
00:18:36everything.
00:18:40Yeah, I followed through
00:18:41with all my business plans.
00:18:43Right.
00:18:44Yeah.
00:18:44The business plan.
00:18:47You know,
00:18:47you called me your wife
00:18:48for the first time.
00:18:50Don't look into it.
00:18:51It's fine.
00:18:52It's fine.
00:18:53Actually,
00:18:54um,
00:18:55you know what?
00:18:56Now that all the revenge
00:18:57is done,
00:18:58I think I want to take
00:18:59some time alone
00:19:00to
00:19:01figure out my feelings.
00:19:04I understand.
00:19:05I understand.
00:19:11They've destroyed everything.
00:19:12We can't let them
00:19:14get away with this.
00:19:18What if we take
00:19:19Mia?
00:19:21A ransom would help us
00:19:22but hurt Mia.
00:19:25Yes.
00:19:26Abducting Mia Gerber.
00:19:29I see how Joshua Lane
00:19:30reacts then.
00:19:32But how will we get to Mia?
00:19:34I know that she always
00:19:34goes to this one spot
00:19:36alone.
00:19:37From what I know about her,
00:19:39she must be there right now.
00:19:40Sorry.
00:19:43No, I need to be there right now.
00:19:54Here we go.
00:19:55I know about her,
00:19:57I know.
00:19:58It's your mind.
00:19:59Now,
00:20:00I know.
00:20:01I know.
00:20:01I know.
00:20:03I know.
00:20:04I know.
00:20:05I know.
00:20:05I know.
00:20:06I know.
00:20:07I know.
00:20:07I know.
00:20:07I know.
00:20:07I know.
00:20:38Hey!
00:20:42Hey!
00:20:45Help!
00:20:53Thought you could get rid of us, Mia?
00:20:57You and Joshua will regret ever crossing us.
00:21:02Don't bring an end to this, you bitch.
00:21:04Get off!
00:21:08Oh, that's what we're talking about.
00:21:24Look at you.
00:21:26Just as pathetic as the day you fell.
00:21:28Of course I could have saved you.
00:21:31But why would I?
00:21:33You and your baby are worth nothing.
00:21:42Joshua Lane?
00:21:44Listen.
00:21:45We had 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.
00:22:09These are the possible locations where Mia can be.
00:22:11This one.
00:22:12This one.
00:22:24Mia.
00:22:28Oh, gosh.
00:22:29Come on.
00:22:32It's your honor.
00:22:33We'llgasp.
00:22:54Oh, gosh.
00:22:58Oh, God.
00:23:01Stop, stop, stop.
00:23:12It's not worth it.
00:23:13It's not worth it.
00:23:31But I guess it's just like some day.
00:23:45Make it some soup.
00:23:53It's very unique.
00:23:56What is this?
00:23:57My 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.
00:24:10I just did what I had to do.
00:24:15Oh, sure.
00:24:17Is this still just a marriage of convenience for you?
00:24:21Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Lane.
00:24:23A guest has arrived.
00:24:24Susie, it's been ages.
00:24:30When's the last time we saw each other?
00:24:33Four years ago, before I went to broad.
00:24:36It's for you.
00:24:38Oh, there's so much.
00:24:42Susie, this is my wife, Mia.
00:24:46Mia, this is Susie.
00:24:47To marry.
00:24:49No, Susie.
00:24:51That's enough.
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.
00:25:10Well, it seems like you two have a lot to catch up on.
00:25:12So, I'll leave you to it.
00:25:19Susie, why would you say those things?
00:25:23I told you I had doubts before the wedding.
00:25:25Not 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.
00:25:36I just...
00:25:38I was trying to help,
00:25:39since you clearly don't want the marriage.
00:25:42I 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,
00:25:56if I had stayed by your side,
00:25:58you never would have had to marry a complete stranger
00:26:01like Mia Gerber.
00:26:03I'm sure it hasn't been pleasant.
00:26:05Now that I'm back,
00:26:06you can always talk to me.
00:26:09Susie, 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...
00:26:28always there,
00:26:30but never really close.
00:26:33You deserve someone
00:26:34who will give you all the love
00:26:35and appreciation you need.
00:26:38Remember,
00:26:38if you ever need anything,
00:26:39I'm here.
00:26:40Thank you, Noah.
00:26:43Thank you, Noah.
00:26:45How could I live without you?
00:26:50I could live without you.
00:26:51I don't think I could have anything to protect you, man.
00:27:06I don't think I could have anything to protect you, man.
00:27:18Joshua.
00:27:34We can't be like this forever.
00:27:35We have to talk.
00:27:38Why don't you talk to Noah?
00:27:40Seems 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 Susie are the other hand.
00:27:49What?
00:27:50Whatever you think,
00:27:51I don't care.
00:27:52What's he doing here?
00:28:12Look,
00:28:13I'm here to deliver some documents to me, eh?
00:28:22If you ever hurt her,
00:28:26you just know that I will protect her
00:28:27at all costs.
00:28:29And what exactly
00:28:30have you done
00:28:31to 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,
00:28:39why are you acting so rash?
00:28:41This is ridiculous.
00:28:42You invite him into our house
00:28:43just to talk to him?
00:28:44I didn't invite...
00:28:45Joshua!
00:28:46Well, I'm sorry.
00:28:47I didn't mean you're causing
00:28:48a 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
00:28:54and the company.
00:28:56I suspect that Dwayne Kaiser
00:28:57has been inspiring
00:28:58with Melody Healthcare.
00:29:02Is that Dwayne?
00:29:04And the CEO of Melody Healthcare?
00:29:09This plan is our game changer.
00:29:12What about Melody Healthcare?
00:29:14They're our biggest threat.
00:29:15They're going in
00:29:16a completely different direction.
00:29:17We're way ahead of them.
00:29:20And how do you know, though?
00:29:22The CEO approached me
00:29:23the other day.
00:29:25The drug is some information
00:29:25from me,
00:29:26but I flipped it
00:29:27and got some information
00:29:27from him.
00:29:29Like, I've returned my own company,
00:29:30but you're fooling me, Dad.
00:29:32Right.
00:29:33Of course, Dwayne.
00:29:34Let's go ahead
00:29:35with the plan.
00:29:39See, he's fine.
00:29:46I don't know.
00:29:46There's something strange about him.
00:29:48I can't put my finger on it,
00:29:50but just keep your eyes open, okay?
00:29:53I will.
00:29:54He's suspected,
00:29:59but I made her trust me now.
00:30:02Let's go ahead
00:30:02and move forward
00:30:03with the plan.
00:30:05Excellent.
00:30:06Once we execute the strategy,
00:30:09the Kerbers
00:30:09will be blindsided.
00:30:11Melody Healthcare
00:30:12will be the number one.
00:30:14Me and Kerber
00:30:15will be out of the company,
00:30:17and 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
00:30:45just announced their new
00:30:46AI-generated online psychiatric care.
00:30:48The similarity of the details
00:30:50to ours
00:30:51is
00:30:52uncanny.
00:30:55I don't know.
00:30:56We kept everything under wraps.
00:30:59They must have developed
00:31:00this independently.
00:31:01Yeah?
00:31:03They're just too young.
00:31:04They're not experienced
00:31:05enough in this business world.
00:31:06This stuff happens.
00:31:08I'm experienced enough
00:31:09to know that this
00:31:10is not a coincidence.
00:31:12And I don't need you
00:31:13to tell me what I do
00:31:14and do not know.
00:31:16You can know.
00:31:17Why do you look so
00:31:31sullen all the time?
00:31:33Doesn't look good on you.
00:31:36Wow.
00:31:37Thanks for the comfort.
00:31:38Ms. Gerber,
00:31:49an emergency board meeting
00:31:50has been called.
00:31:51What?
00:31:52What?
00:31:52We need to talk about
00:32:00the leadership
00:32:00of this company.
00:32:02It is clear that
00:32:03Mia's recent decisions,
00:32:05well,
00:32:05they've been
00:32:06questionable.
00:32:11Acquiring
00:32:12Catherine from this hospital
00:32:13was a big
00:32:14misstep.
00:32:16Now,
00:32:17Melody's healthcare
00:32:17is outpacing us.
00:32:19Mia,
00:32:20I'm sorry,
00:32:21but you're too young
00:32:22and inexperienced
00:32:23to be in this role.
00:32:25I believe under my leadership
00:32:26our profits
00:32:27have already increased
00:32:28by 20%
00:32:29compared to last year.
00:32:32That's due to
00:32:32the overall market trend,
00:32:34not because
00:32:35of your leadership.
00:32:37My strategies
00:32:38have been more
00:32:39than effective.
00:32:40The Finley acquisition
00:32:41has potential
00:32:42long-term benefits
00:32:43and our growth,
00:32:44by the way,
00:32:45is not just a fluke.
00:32:46This company,
00:32:49this board,
00:32:50needs a leader
00:32:50with experience
00:32:51and vision,
00:32:53not someone
00:32:53learning on the job.
00:32:55As a senior VP,
00:32:56on behalf of all the employees
00:32:58with Gerber Corporation,
00:32:59we support Mia.
00:33:01I also have evidence
00:33:02that Wayne Kaiser
00:33:03has been conspiring
00:33:03Melody Healthcare
00:33:04to undermine the company.
00:33:05I also have evidence
00:33:09that Wayne Kaiser
00:33:09has been conspiring
00:33:10Melody Healthcare
00:33:11to undermine the company.
00:33:16What is this?
00:33:17What are you doing?
00:33:18We have communications
00:33:19between Wayne
00:33:20and Melody Healthcare
00:33:21killing our strategy.
00:33:26You're fired,
00:33:27Dwayne.
00:33:28Effective immediately.
00:33:29I've been with you
00:33:29since you founded the company.
00:33:31All these years,
00:33:32I'm never the CEO,
00:33:33but you give it to your daughter?
00:33:34I've always known
00:33:35you were ambitious,
00:33:36but I never thought
00:33:37you would stoop this low.
00:33:39Your lack
00:33:40of trustworthiness
00:33:41is why you were never CEO.
00:33:44We built this company
00:33:45on integrity and trust.
00:33:47Values you clearly lack.
00:33:51Security,
00:33:52escort Mr. Kaiser out.
00:33:54Wait.
00:33:55D.
00:33:55D.
00:33:56D.
00:33:56D.
00:34:04Mayor,
00:34:06we're so proud of you.
00:34:08You've really handled
00:34:09the crisis well.
00:34:11You truly are a girlfriend.
00:34:17No,
00:34:18I can't thank you enough.
00:34:19Of course.
00:34:20You know I'd do anything for you.
00:34:23You know,
00:34:23I never asked,
00:34:24but how did you get your hands
00:34:26on those documents?
00:34:26It all started with
00:34:28anonymous tape.
00:34:30Someone delivered photos
00:34:31of Dwayne meeting
00:34:32with the owner
00:34:32of Melody Health Care
00:34:33and I intercepted the tape.
00:34:38What's this new schedule
00:34:39for the week?
00:34:40What's this?
00:34:41Um,
00:34:42seems to be about
00:34:43Mr. Kaiser.
00:34:44I'll take that too.
00:34:45Thanks.
00:34:46Anonymous.
00:34:57Who would do that?
00:34:59I don't know,
00:35:00but the photos
00:35:01led me to dig deeper
00:35:02and eventually I found
00:35:04clear evidence
00:35:04of his betrayal.
00:35:07Can I see the photos?
00:35:08I think I might know
00:35:16who's behind this,
00:35:17but I need to confirm.
00:35:23Ethan,
00:35:24I need to talk to you
00:35:25about these photos.
00:35:26Is this you?
00:35:27In the reflection?
00:35:28Were you following Dwayne?
00:35:30Yeah,
00:35:30it's me.
00:35:32Joshua asked me
00:35:32to keep an eye on Dwayne.
00:35:34He set his suspicions
00:35:35about Dwayne's loyalty
00:35:36for a while.
00:35:36We then delivered
00:35:38the photos.
00:35:40Mr. Lane,
00:35:41what are some vibes?
00:35:44Should I tell Ms. Lane
00:35:45you're here?
00:35:45No need to.
00:35:50Why couldn't Joshua
00:35:51just tell me
00:35:52about his suspicions?
00:35:54Joshua's a...
00:35:55he's a complicated man.
00:35:57He means well,
00:35:58but he struggles
00:35:59with expressing himself.
00:36:00He's never gone
00:36:01through such steps
00:36:02for anyone before me,
00:36:03and this must mean
00:36:03he cares about you.
00:36:06He could just talk
00:36:07to me next time.
00:36:09Well, Joshua
00:36:09has his ways.
00:36:11He might not show it,
00:36:12but he cares deeply.
00:36:14Just ask the...
00:36:15don't hurt him.
00:36:19No.
00:36:21You're a loyal friend,
00:36:22Ethan.
00:36:23Joshua, I need to talk
00:36:32to you.
00:36:34It's about Dwayne Kaiser
00:36:35and Melody
00:36:35healthcare.
00:36:36What about it?
00:36:37I know you sent
00:36:38Ethan to follow Dwayne.
00:36:40Why didn't you just
00:36:41talk to me?
00:36:42It just seemed like
00:36:42the best course of action
00:36:43at the time.
00:36:44Joshua,
00:36:45is there more to this
00:36:46marriage than the alliance?
00:36:48Did you do it
00:36:49because...
00:36:50No, no,
00:36:50it's nothing like that.
00:36:52I just couldn't have
00:36:53my wife being voted
00:36:54out of a CEO on paper.
00:36:56It looked bad for me.
00:36:57So it's all about
00:36:58appearances?
00:36:59Yes, ma'am.
00:37:01It's all it ever is.
00:37:02I agree to a business
00:37:03arrangement.
00:37:04Joshua, I'm so tired
00:37:05of this.
00:37:07Of living in a fantasy
00:37:08where I never actually
00:37:09get to know you.
00:37:11I'm more than just
00:37:11a tool for business
00:37:13advancement
00:37:14or keeping up
00:37:16appearances.
00:37:18I want a divorce.
00:37:23I want a divorce.
00:37:28You sure about this?
00:37:31I deserve something
00:37:32real in my life, Joshua.
00:37:34Not this.
00:37:36The thought.
00:37:37I deserve to be more
00:37:38than just a business
00:37:39arrangement in somebody's
00:37:40life.
00:37:41I want genuine
00:37:42happiness.
00:37:44I understand
00:37:44if that's what you want.
00:37:51Joshua, please.
00:37:55I see you
00:37:55with a divorce.
00:38:14What are you doing to yourself?
00:38:38me?
00:38:39What?
00:38:40Me?
00:38:43Don't leave.
00:38:44Don't leave.
00:38:44You're drunk.
00:38:45Please.
00:38:46Help me take him to his car.
00:38:48No.
00:38:50I'll take him to my place.
00:38:51He shouldn't be alone.
00:38:53Shut up.
00:38:54Okay.
00:38:54Hmm?
00:38:55Let's go.
00:38:56Good morning, Josh.
00:39:17Here.
00:39:18Drink this.
00:39:19You've had quite a night.
00:39:21Susie.
00:39:24Where am I?
00:39:25This is my apartment.
00:39:28Nothing 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?
00:39:40It's over between me and me.
00:39:43We're getting a divorce.
00:39:50Maybe it was never meant to be.
00:39:53You deserve someone who understands and loves you.
00:39:58No, I can't do this, Susie.
00:40:07Why?
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.
00:40:23Do you really love that meal cover?
00:40:29Mum?
00:40:32Yes, Susie.
00:40:32I have fucked up.
00:40:33I love you.
00:40:34Yeah.
00:40:35Yeah.
00:40:35Oh, hey.
00:41:05I've decided to divorce Joshua.
00:41:07Are you okay?
00:41:09Fine.
00:41:10It's just, it's for the best.
00:41:13It's not that I need to tell you, you're the person.
00:41:16It'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.
00:41:35Excuse me, excuse me.
00:41:38I'm here for Joshua Lane.
00:41:46Joshua.
00:41:47Joshua.
00:41:49Miss Gerber?
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.
00:42:16Do you remember 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.
00:42:57This is all your fault, Mia.
00:43:00You drove him to this.
00:43:03You hurt him.
00:43:04And 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.
00:43:26I 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 sway the way.
00:43:37Short notice, let's get my own.
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?
00:43:46I'm merely stating a fact.
00:43:47Not everyone in the second generation is as capable as you.
00:43:50So, tell me, why 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.
00:44:03We 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.
00:44:19Alex is the only choice.
00:44:20What 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 better.
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.
00:45:20I'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 strengths 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.
00:46:50Joshua, I hope you're proud.
00:46:56Let's go.
00:46:58Are you going to take over?
00:46:59No consequences, ma'am?
00:47:00I'm going to make a pitch.
00:47:05Won't be touching her.
00:47:07Who the fuck are you?
00:47:13Damn it, she's tough.
00:47:15Take care of her.
00:47:24See the security camera?
00:47:25I'm going to get the footage.
00:47:27If you ever try and hurt me again, I'll call the police.
00:47:30You'll never become the CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:47:32Ever.
00:47:34God damn it!
00:47:45Next thing.
00:47:46Noah, 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?
00:48:04Thanks, but 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.
00:48:20No, no, nothing's more important than Joshua right now.
00:48:29Joshua, Joshua, Joshua.
00:48:31He's fucking Joshua.
00:48:36When you wake up, we can be together.
00:48:41Yeah, it doesn't deserve you.
00:48:43But you and I, we're meant to be.
00:48:51Barbara, Mia.
00:48:54Joshua, you're awake.
00:48:57Mia.
00:49:00Excuse me, Miss.
00:49:03Mr. Lane?
00:49:06Mr. Lane?
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.
00:49:27Sorry, 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 cry, so I was willing to marry you.
00:49:36You got hurt because of me.
00:49:38Mia, listen to me.
00:49:41I'm sorry for all the pain that I've caused you.
00:49:47I'm not being honest about my feelings.
00:49:50I'm afraid to admit it.
00:49:53Even to myself.
00:49:55You think I did anymore?
00:49:57I love you, Mia.
00:50:00I'm not afraid that I hear you say those words.
00:50:04It's just that I'm sooner.
00:50:05I love you, too, Joshua.
00:50:08Noah Bellini, drinking alone?
00:50:37What do you want, Dwayne?
00:50:39Just a talk.
00:50:40You are underappreciating, Noah.
00:50:45Maybe we can help each other out.
00:50:52Thank you for standing up for me while I was out.
00:50:55I heard you manage as interim CEO, Lane Holdings.
00:50:59I handle things.
00:51:01I actually have a business meeting later today with a potential partner.
00:51:05Who's the partner?
00:51:07Kevin Katz.
00:51:09He's a key player in the industry.
00:51:12Katz?
00:51:13He's notorious for being pansy with business owners.
00:51:18I don't like the idea of you two being alone.
00:51:21I can handle Katz.
00:51:23We've got the first.
00:51:25Just be careful.
00:51:27Noah.
00:51:29He's a key player in the industry.
00:51:33Is to make our partnership more enjoyable?
00:51:39Mr. Katz, let's keep this strictly professional.
00:51:43Oh, 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?
00:51:56I 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.
00:52:08Now you have one last chance.
00:52:11Oh!
00:52:15That's for being a disgusting pig.
00:52:18Hey.
00:52:19How'd the meeting go?
00:52:20Let's just say Kevin Katz won't be bothering us anymore.
00:52:33What did he do?
00:52:35I handled it.
00:52:37Okay.
00:52:38Let's just focus on getting you better and back in charge.
00:52:43Can I get you some water?
00:52:44Ethan, get the bodyguard and meet me downstairs.
00:52:58I can't explain why now.
00:52:59Just do it.
00:53:05Where's Sashwa?
00:53:06Mr. Lane checked out.
00:53:08He insisted he was well enough to leave.
00:53:10No, he's not fully recovered yet.
00:53:12What are you trying to do?
00:53:17To teach you a lesson that you can't touch Joshua Lane's woman.
00:53:27You can't do this, Lane.
00:53:30I can sue you and you'll end up in jail.
00:53:33This is you, Mr. Katz.
00:53:36There was something quite illegal.
00:53:38I must say, your taste is really reprehensible.
00:53:41You can't sue me.
00:53:42It was a long time ago.
00:53:43If I can still release the video, you'll lose everything.
00:53:44In fact, you'll just stay.
00:53:45The victim's identity was protected and they'll be set for the rest of their life.
00:53:46Where were you?
00:53:47I was worried sick.
00:53:48I had to take care of something.
00:53:49I don't care.
00:53:50I told you I handled it.
00:53:51I can take care of myself.
00:53:52I won't allow anyone laying their hands on you.
00:53:53Still, it's so reckless.
00:53:54It's okay now.
00:53:55You handled it?
00:53:56Yeah.
00:53:57I'm flattered by the jealousy.
00:53:58I really do love you, Joshua.
00:54:00I really do love you.
00:54:01I love you too, Mia.
00:54:02I love you too, Mia.

01:00:08involving a higher level let me assure you gerber corporation is as strong as ever
01:00:14these rumors are unfounded
01:00:18you're right there's gaps in noah's whereabouts i keep digging anything we need concrete evidence
01:00:36mia noah might be involved with the issues of the company
01:00:40there's no way he's very loyal to the company although he has been acting weirdly
01:00:45have you ever considered him i have feelings for you
01:00:49bringing feelings make us do things no no is a brother to me he's never even said anything remotely
01:00:57romantic
01:00:59actions speak louder than words i mean sure he's supportive and caring but that's just no being no
01:01:06i really don't think there's anything more to it sometimes the people closest to us surprise us the most
01:01:15you know

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 we were just starting college and came to this
01:02:16in the office during summer break roughly dressed and looked like a princess
01:02:23i was just starting off the company and i i come from a humble background so
01:02:27i never thought i could be with someone like you not anymore i'm stronger
01:02:37i know we should be together
01:02:42noah
01:02:46i've really only ever seen him as a friend
01:02:53it's because joshua is the thing for you i've not done more no i love him okay we understand each
01:03:01other because you both want the silver spoons in your mouth and i wasn't you know it's not that

01:03:40dwayne double down on the plan
01:03:44there's no going back now
01:03:45noah
01:03:55what brings you here
01:03:56i think it's time for your company to reconsider its partnership with gerber
01:03:59i'm not sure what you're implying
01:04:01it's simple
01:04:03harbor medical devices is the biggest supplier for gerber corporation
01:04:06if you cut the eyes with gerber it'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 you and i are alike susie
01:04:26it's not people who don't love us back
01:04:27you i've already let it go
01:04:30i've let it go but we still have a chance
01:04:33me and the gerber family are out of the company
01:04:36the main 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 together we can make sure we aren't ignoring
01:04:51so mia with card smart suppliers are terminating contracts
01:05:00trust me we have the situation under control
01:05:02it's not what i heard the rumor is how her medical device is pulling out
01:05:08how do you explain this i assure you we're addressing the concerns but
01:05:12her relationship with our suppliers has never been stronger
01:05:15as one of the largest shareholders i have complete faith in his leadership
01:05:20these rumors are just that rumors
01:05:28the rumor was right
01:05:30harper medical devices decided to terminate the contract with us
01:05:34but there's still hope i convinced harper to continue their partnership with us
01:05:40but 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
01:05:48so i brought suzy harper with me the acting ceo of harper medical devices
01:05:55suzy will tell you all that she would like me a gerber to resign
01:06:01actually i think there's been a misunderstanding
01:06:04harper medical devices never intended to terminate our contracts with her corporation
01:06:08any 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 thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you i owe you a big one
01:06:24you don't owe me anything i just know joshua that person he loves to be happy
01:06:28and i have evidence that noah bolani has been conspiring with former ousted executive
01:06:43duane kaiser to sabotage the company
01:06:48mr bolani your actions have endangered the company and everybody in it you are therefore terminated
01:07:04you don't know
01:07:08you don't know
01:07:09you don't know
01:07:10you don't know
01:07:12it's quite the view
01:07:21i thought a lot about what happened and i wanted to say sorry
01:07:30i should have been clearer
01:07:32and it mean to lead you on
01:07:34my actions i'm sorry for everything
