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.
00:01:06Take it back.
00:01:08Oh!
00:01:08Oh, my God.
00:01:11Oh, my God.
00:01:13Oh, my God.
00:01:14Oh, my God.
00:01:16Oh, my God.
00:01:21Oh, my God.
00:01:34What happened to you?
00:01:37Is the baby okay?
00:01:43I'm so sorry.
00:01:47We lost the baby.
00:01:51I'm so sorry.
00:01:56We're right here, Snakeheart.
00:01:58We're right here.
00:02:07I won't let Bradley and that woman get away with this.
00:02:13I'm ready to come back, Don.
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.
00:02:32I have an important announcement.
00:02:34My daughter, Mia Gerber, will be the new CEO of Gerber Corporation.
00:02:40Is Mia ready for such a big role?
00:02:41I've been concealing my identity to go undercover within the industry.
00:02:45I've learned our competitors from the inside.
00:02:48Trust me.
00:02:50I'm more than ready.
00:02:53Furthermore, Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:03:00Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:03:04There 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.
00:03:18It'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.
00:03:27And this alliance will strengthen our company and secure our future.
00:03:35Isn't Joshua Lane friends for being called to live in Ruffles?
00:03:47That's kind of hurt.
00:03:49And I think it'll be good to a company.
00:03:50I don't think it'll be good for a CEO.
00:03:52Joshua, I was hoping we could get...
00:04:15Man, you are brutal.
00:04:21That'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.
00:04:32Oh, come on.
00:04:33She's the heiress to the Gerber Corporation.
00:04:35There must be some perks to her.
00:04:36Perks are not.
00:04:37She'll learn quickly that I'm not one to be messed with.
00:04:40I'm going to 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-witted wife?
00:05:00I do.
00:05:02And you, Mia Gerber, do you take Joshua Lane for your lawfully-witted husband?
00:05:08I do.
00:05:10Um, no rings.
00:05:19We may now kiss the bride.
00:05:33Let's get one thing straight, Mia.
00:05:35This marriage is a show for our family and the rest of the world.
00:05:38I don'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, unlike Alex here, who's so popular
00:06:31and charismatic.
00:06:34You should see all of the women that can't stop chasing.
00:06:37Well, at least I don't have to worry if Alice 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, that's enough.
00:06:53I'm just saying, perhaps Alex is a better fit to leave Nine Horvits.
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.
00:07:10For your information, passion is not in my DNA, nor does it align with my personal brand.
00:07:23But still, thank you for setting up.
00:07:25I just didn't appreciate your stepmom's attitude.
00:07:37Get the campaign ready.
00:07:39I want that check out.
00:07:40Peace out.
00:07:45Noah, hey.
00:07:47I need a favor.
00:07:52You're right.
00:07:53Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua.
00:07:57Gluedon 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.
00:08:12I'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, Ms. 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.
00:08:35You have a deal.
00:08:37The Gerber Corporation account is too good to pass on.
00:08:40There'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.
00:09:00Looking 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.
00:09:14I 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.
00:09:33You're more perceptive than I thought.
00:09:34Why 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.
00:09:51Well, in that case, I should help you with your beef with Catherine and Bradley, right?
00:09:57How did you know about that?
00:09:59Didn'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?
00:10:11She 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.
00:10:22I can take care of myself.
00:10:27What's she saying?
00:10:28To your new position as senior VP.
00:10:36And it's all thanks to my help, of course.
00:10:39Absolutely.
00:10:40You're my lucky charm, honey.
00:10:41Imagine if I'd stay with me.
00:10:49Poor and powerless.
00:10:50That's all she ever was.
00:10:51She's a joke.
00:10:53A stepping stone at best.
00:10:55You're by my side.
00:10:56We are unstoppable.
00:10:57We are.
00:11:09Cabin's Hospital is resisting our acquisition.
00:11:12Bradley has the new senior VP, is 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.
00:11:46I 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, 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.
00:12:11Mia deserves someone who truly loves her.
00:12:14Not you.
00:12:14She'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.
00:12:36All right, look.
00:12:42If you have to know, unfortunately, we had a miscarriage because of an accident involving Bradley and Catherine.
00:12:50How are you feeling?
00:13:12It's none of your business.
00:13:15Not that you would know what that means.
00:13:16I'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.
00:13:31I may have ever reacted.
00:13:33You were hurting.
00:13:34That's understandable.
00:13:35So you're not a robot.
00:13:37The daughter says you are.
00:13:39Of course I'm not.
00:13:40Who says that?
00:13:42Everyone.
00:13:43Your family, your friends, your co-workers, enemies.
00:13:48I even heard the maids joking about it the other day.
00:13:51Pardon them all.
00:13:52No, no, 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.
00:14:07I, it's like, I'm going to bed.
00:14:13Okay.
00:14:16Good night.
00:14:23Talk like this.
00:14:37Go ahead with Plan.
00:14:39Short song, Catherine's company.
00:14:41I want to see them bleed.
00:14:43Mia, you 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?
00:14:58Who's responsible?
00:14:59Seems like a coordinated attack.
00:15:01Someone powerful is behind this.
00:15:05Joshua.
00:15:06Did you short Catherine's stop?
00:15:14Yes, I did.
00:15:15Why?
00:15:16Strictly for business.
00:15:18Protect 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 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'd resign if you 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.
00:16:10You know that I never meant to hurt you.
00:16:14This hospital is all that I have left.
00:16:16Please.
00:16:19That day that I fell, you stood there and watched.
00:16:23You made your decision, though.
00:16:25Mia, can we tell?
00:16:26I know I hurt you deeply.
00:16:27I just want to apologize to make things right.
00:16:40Mia, I'm truly sorry about 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 deeply.
00:17:10You'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.
00:17:36Do not engage with women who have no shame.
00:17:41Well, that's all.
00:17:47Catherine manipulated me.
00:17:49But 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 not.
00:18:04You're a piece of human trash.
00:18:08You're right.
00:18:08I'm serious.
00:18:09But think about all the good memories we have.
00:18:11Think about more to come.
00:18:13Just let go.
00:18:14Mia, don't.
00:18:14Grab it.
00:18:15Don't.
00:18:16Keep going.
00:18:16Fuck off.
00:18:16Fuck off.
00:18:22I should have learned anything before Bradley could talk to you.
00:18:29It's fine, Joshua.
00:18:30Thank you for stopping in.
00:18:33Thank you for everything.
00:18:40Yeah.
00:18:40I follow 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.
00:18:51It's fine.
00:18:52Let's go.
00:18:53Actually, um, 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.
00:19:05They've destroyed everything.
00:19:13We can't let them get away with this.
00:19:18What if we take Mia?
00:19:20A ransom would help us, but hurt Mia.
00:19:25Yes.
00:19:26Abducting Mia Gerber.
00:19:29I see how Joshua Lane reacts then.
00:19:32But how will we get to Mia?
00:19:34I know that she always goes to this one spot alone.
00:19:37From what I know about her, she must be there right now.
00:19:50I know that she's going to be there right now.
00:20:20I know that she's going to be there right now.
00:20:50Thought you could get rid of us, Mia?
00:20:58You and Joshua will regret ever crossing us.
00:21:02Don't bring an end to this, you bitch.
00:21:04That'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 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,
00:22:06it seems Bradley and Catherine are behind us.
00:22:09These are the possible locations where Mia can be.
00:22:11It's fine.
00:22:12It's fine.
00:22:24Mia.
00:22:28I'll catch her.
00:22:29Come on.
00:22:32It's fine.
00:22:32Go away.
00:22:46No.
00:22:47No.
00:22:50Go away.
00:22:51No.
00:22:55Go away.
00:22:57Go away.
00:22:59Go away.
00:23:00Stop, stop, stop.
00:23:12It's not worth it.
00:23:13It's not worth it.
00:23:30I love you, but 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.
00:24:15Is this still just a marriage of convenience for you?
00:24:21Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Lane.
00:24:23A guest has arrived.
00:24:27Susie, it's been ages.
00:24:29When's the last time we saw each other?
00:24:33Four years ago, before I went abroad.
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.
00:24:47Uh, in old...
00:24:48To marry.
00:24:49No, Susie.
00:24:51That's enough.
00:24:52Joshua and I have us, 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 seems like you two have a lot to catch up on, so I'll lead 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.
00:25:34Sorry.
00:25:36I just...
00:25:38I was trying to help, since you really don't want the marriage.
00:25:41I 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.
00:25:54Josh, if I had stayed by your side, you never would have had to marry a complete stranger like me and Gerber.
00:26:03I'm sure it hasn't been pleasant.
00:26:05Now that I'm back, you can always talk to me.
00:26:09Susie, you're a great friend.
00:26:11Of course.
00:26:13I'll always be there for you.
00:26:21How's it going, dear?
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.
00:26:33You deserve someone who will give you all the love and appreciation you need.
00:26:37Remember, if you ever need anything, I'm here.
00:26:41Thank you, Noah.
00:26:45How could I live without you?
00:26:50I could live without you.

00:28:49breath between you two it wasn't my intention it's fine why are you here i'm here to protect you
00:28:54and the company i suspect that duane kaiser has been inspiring with melody health care
00:28:59is that duane and the ceo of melody health care
00:29:06this plan is our game changer
00:29:11what about melody health care they're our biggest route
00:29:15they're going in a completely different direction we're way ahead of them
00:29:18and how do you know though the ceo approached me the other day
00:29:24tried to get some information from me but i flipped it and got some information from him
00:29:28i got to return my own company but you'll fool to think that
00:29:31right of course duane let's go ahead with the plan
00:29:35see he's fine
00:29:44i don't know there's something strange about him
00:29:47i can't put my finger on it but just keep your eyes open okay

00:29:54me suspected but i made her trust me now let's go ahead and move forward with the plan

00:30:10melody health care will be the number one
00:30:13me and kerber will be out of the company
00:30:16and i'll be the number one
00:30:20how did they get ahead of us
00:30:27this is our strategy
00:30:29where's duane
00:30:30he's outside
00:30:31melody health care just announced their new
00:30:46ai-generated online psychiatric care the similarity of the details to ours is
00:30:52uncanny
00:30:53i don't know
00:30:56we kept everything under wraps
00:30:58they must have developed this independently
00:31:01yeah
00:31:02they're just too young
00:31:04they're not experienced enough in this business world
00:31:06this stuff happens
00:31:07i'm experienced enough to know that this
00:31:10is not a coincidence
00:31:11and i don't need you to tell me what i do and do not know
00:31:15why you look so sullen all the time
00:31:31doesn't look good on you
00:31:32wow thanks for the comfort
00:31:38dammit why do i have to say
00:31:44miss kerber an emergency board meeting has been called
00:31:50what
00:31:52we need to talk about the leadership of this company
00:32:01it is clear that me's recent decisions
00:32:04well they've been
00:32:06questionable
00:32:07acquiring
00:32:12kathleen from this hospital
00:32:13was a big
00:32:14misstep

00:32:22and inexperienced
00:32:23to be in this role
00:32:24i believe under my leadership
00:32:26our profits have already increased by
00:32:28twenty percent
00:32:29compared to last year
00:32:31that's due to the overall market trend
00:32:34not because of your leadership
00:32:35my strategies
00:32:38have been more than effective
00:32:40the finley acquisition has potential long-term benefits
00:32:43and our growth
00:32:44by the way
00:32:45is not just a fluke
00:32:47this company
00:32:48this board needs a leader
00:32:50with experience

00:35:02and eventually i found clear evidence of his betrayal

00:38:45Please, help me take him to his car.
00:38:49I'll take him to my place.
00:38:51He shouldn't be alone.
00:38:54Okay.
00:38:55Let's go.
00:39:08Good morning, Josh.
00:39:17Here, drink 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.
00:39:35I 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 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.
00:40:21I'm sorry.
00:40:25Do you really love that mute cover?
00:40:29No.
00:40:32Yes, Susie.
00:40:32I'm not fine.
00:40:33Don't 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.
00:41:47I'm here for you.
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.
00:43:15Mia, 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!
00:47:45Exit.
00:47:46Noah, what happened?
00:47:55Don't worry, I'm fine.
00:47:58You'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.
00:48:16I have to go to the hospital.
00:48:20No, no, nothing's more important than Joshua, right?
00:48:29Joshua, Joshua, Joshua.
00:48:31He's fucking Joshua.
00:48:32When you wake up, we can be together.
00:48:41Mia doesn't deserve you.
00:48:44But you and I, we're meant to be.
00:48:52Mia.
00:48:54Joshua, you're weak.
00:48:57Mia.
00:48:58Excuse 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, we'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 married.
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 to hide it anymore.
00:49:57I love you, Mia.
00:50:00I'm not afraid that I'm here to say those words.
00:50:03You should have said them sooner.
00:50:07I love you too, Joshua.
00:50:08I love you too, Joshua.
00:50:38What do you want, Dwayne?
00:50:39Just to talk?
00:50:40You are underappreciating, Noah.
00:50:45Maybe we can help each other out.
00:50:47Thank 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 Katz.
00:51:08He's a key player in the industry.
00:51:13Katz?
00:51:14He's notorious for being pansy with business problems.
00:51:18I don't like the idea of you two being alone.
00:51:21I can handle Katz.
00:51:23The developers.
00:51:25Just be careful.
00:51:27I'm not.
00:51:28Noah.
00:51:28I love you.
00:51:28Is to make our partnership more enjoyable?
00:51:39Mr. Katz, let's keep this strictly professional.
00:51:42Oh, 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.
00:52:02You'll regret this.
00:52:03If I could ruin Lane Holdings' reputation.
00:52:07Now you have one last chance.
00:52:11Oh!
00:52:16That's for being a disgusting pig.
00:52:26Hey.
00:52:28How'd the meeting go?
00:52:31Let's just think Kevin Katz 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?
00:52:56Ethan, get the bodyguard you meet me downstairs.
00:52:59I can't explain why now.
00:52:59Just do it.
00:53:06Where's Joshua?
00:53:07Mr. Lane checked out.
00:53:09He insisted he was well enough to leave.
00:53:11No, he's not fully recovered yet.
00:53:17What are you trying to do?
00:53:19Teach you a lesson that you can't touch Joshua Lane's woman.
00:53:22You can't do this, Lane.
00:53:30Lane, I can sue you and you'll end up in jail.
00:53:34This is you, Mr. Katz.
00:53:36There was something quite illegal.
00:53:39I must say, your taste is really reprehensible.
00:53:41You 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.
00:53:50In fact, just him.
00:53:53If the victim's identity was protected, and they'll be set for the rest of their life.
00:53:57Where 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.
00:54:17It'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.
00:54:27I love you, too, Mia.
00:54:33I have a surprise for you.
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.
00:54:57That it might bring you some comfort.
00:55:08This 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.
00:55:16And about 50 practice runs.
00:55:18I'm sorry.
00:55:19I can't believe you.
00:55:19I can't believe you.
00:55:19I can't believe you.
00:55:20I can't believe you.
00:55:20I can't believe you.
00:55:20Yeah.
00:55:22You're just us.
00:55:23We have a plan that can shift the balance of power in our favor.
00:55:31Our 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.
00:55:42I promise you.
00:55:44She won't.
00:55:45With the Gerber family's fortune, Mia's set for life.
00:55:49She just won't be the CEO anymore.
00:55:53Think about this.
00:55:54With the Gerber family out of practice, Lane Holdings, maybe partner with them.
00:55:59Joshua Lane will probably divorce Mia because she has no use to him.
00:56:04It 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 in the hospital and psychiatric care units.
00:56:18We proceed.
00:56:20Melody 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.
00:56:30The resources stretch so thin, they won't even see us coming.
00:56:42Congratulations 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 being 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?
00:56:58In 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.
00:57:24What's your plan?
00:57:25I'm helping out my dad with our family company.
00:57:29Harper Medical Devices.
00:57:32Let's go to the corporation's British supplier, right?
00:57:34Yeah.
00:57:36Excuse me, you wouldn't?
00:57:37Don't worry, Joshua.
00:57:39You're not going to do anything to me.
00:57:40I'm focusing on my own path now.
00:57:45Goodbye, Joshua.
00:57:47Why are there so many cancer contracts with Gerber Corporation?
00:58:05Hey.
00:58:08You haven't noticed any suppliers backing out of deals with Gerber Corporation.
00:58:14There are rumors someone's been persuading them to cut ties with the Gerbers.
00:58:19What do you mean they've stopped supplying to us?
00:58:46Noah.
00:58:47The 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, son.
00:59:16What, what happened?
00:59:18It's the supplier crisis.
00:59:20The situation's worse than I thought.
00:59:25I don't know what to do, Joshua.
00:59:30We'll get through this together.
00:59:32Thank you all for coming.
00:59:43We understand your concerns, and we're prepared to increase profits to maintain our partnerships.
00:59:50Now, the offer looks good.
01:00:03But we heard some rumors and 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.
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, babe.
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.
01:01:18Hey, 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, and 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.
01:01:37Hey, I have a question.
01:01:42You don't secretly have feelings for me, do you?
01:01:51What if I do?
01:01:52Oh, uh, really?
01:01:59I've put this off for too long, and I need to tell you now, I've loved you since the first
01:02:07time 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, roughly
01:02:19dressed, and looked like a princess.
01:02:23I was just starting off in the company, and I come from a humble background, so I never
01:02:28thought I 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.
01:02:39Noah.
01:02:46I've really only ever seen you as a friend.
01:02:52So you guess Joshua's the thing for you?
01:02:55I don't know why.
01:02:56No.
01:02:58I love him.
01:02:59Okay?
01:02:59We understand each other.
01:03:01Because we both brought the silver spoons in your mouth, and I wasn't.
01:03:05You 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.
01:03:29I understand.
01:03:32I just need to hear from you.
01:03:35Yeah.
01:03:40Dwayne?
01:03:42Double down on the plan.
01:03:44There's no going back now.
01:03:52Noah.
01:03:53What 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.
01:04:07If you cut ties with Gerber, it'll deal a critical blow to them.
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.
01:04:25It's a lot of people who don't love us back.
01:04:27I've already let it go.
01:04:29I've already let it go, but we still have a chance.
01:04:33Me and the Gerber family are out of the company.
01:04:36The Lane family won the business alliance.
01:04:37Joshua and Nia will get the force.
01:04:40You and I can finally be with them.
01:04:43The Lane family won the business alliance.
01:04:48Join.
01:04:48Together we can make sure we aren't ignoring anyone.
01:04:55So, Mia, with CarSmart suppliers are terminating contracts.
01:05:00Trust me, we have the situation under control.
01:05:03That's not what I heard.
01:05:04The rumor is Harbor Medical Devices pulling out.
01:05:08How do you explain this?
01:05:09I assure you we're addressing the concerns, but our relationship with our suppliers has never been stronger.
01:05:14As one of the largest shareholders, I have complete faith in Mia's leadership.
01:05:20These rumors are just that.
01:05:21Rumors.
01:05:28The 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.
01:05:40But 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.
01:05:49So I brought Susie Harbor 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.
01:06:01Actually, I think there's been a misunderstanding.
01:06:03Harbor 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.
01:06:20Thank you, Susie.
01:06:22I owe you a big one.
01:06:24You don't owe me anything.
01:06:26I just want Joshua that person who loves to be happy.
01:06:29You're all with me.
01:06:33Never have you.
01:06:38And I have evidence that Noah Balani has been conspiring with former ousted executive Dwayne Kaiser
01:06:44to sabotage the company.
01:06:47Mr. Balani,
01:06:49your actions have endangered the company and everybody in it.
01:06:53You're therefore terminated in the future.
01:07:20It's quite the view.
01:07:21I 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 may not lead you on.
01:07:35My actions.
01:07:36I'm sorry for everything.
01:07:40I've learned to let go.
01:07:45I just want you to be happy.
01:07:46I am.
01:07:47I hope you find your happiness, too.
01:07:53Take care, Noah.
01:07:57Me too.
01:07:57We are gathered here today to witness the reaffirmation of vows between Mia and Joshua Lane.
01:08:16Joshua, our marriage was out of necessity.
01:08:19But you've become my partner.
01:08:21My rock, my best friend.
01:08:26Mia, 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.
01:08:34I like the way.
01:08:35For me.
01:08:44The rest of it now.
01:08:47I'm back and say the ball.
01:08:48I have more to go.
01:08:51I'm back and say the part of it.
01:08:52Well, I'll show you in front of the other day.
01:08:52But I'm back and say the first time.
01:08:55Thanks for having me.
01:08:56My heart or whatever.
01:08:56My heart or anything,
01:08:57my heart or anything.
01:08:58My heart or playing,
01:08:59I know how to feel feel about it.
01:09:00My heart or right and suppose that you will become your lives-
01:09:01at the moment.
