00:00:00Bradley, I'm pregnant.
00:00:02You're gonna be a father.
00:00:05What's she doing here?
00:00:07What do you think?
00:00:08No need to hide anymore.
00:00:10I'm leaving you.
00:00:12We're Catherine.
00:00:13Unlike you, I'm young and rich.
00:00:16I can give Bradley what he deserves.
00:00:18Catherine hired me to be vice president in her family's hospital.
00:00:21She's also way better in bed.
00:00:23What's that?
00:00:30She's pregnant.
00:00:31What?
00:00:32She must be faking it to trap you.
00:00:35No, it's me.
00:00:36You're so desperate.
00:00:38Give it back. Stop.
00:00:40Give it back.
00:00:40Stop.
00:01:00Where are we?
00:01:09What happened?
00:01:11The baby?
00:01:12Is the baby okay?
00:01:17I'm so sorry.
00:01:20We've lost the baby.
00:01:24I'm so sorry.
00:01:26We're right here, sweetheart.
00:01:32We're right here.
00:01:41I won't let Bradley and that woman get away with this.
00:01:47I'm ready to come back, Dad.
00:01:48Well, revenge won't heal the heart.
00:01:51This isn't about revenge.
00:01:52This is about holding them accountable.
00:01:54Are you sure you're ready for this?
00:01:56I've been preparing for years, Mom.
00:01:58Okay.
00:02:00But there is a condition.
00:02:06I have an important announcement.
00:02:08My daughter, Mia Gerber, will be the new CEO of Gerber Corporation.
00:02:13Is Mia ready for such a big role?
00:02:15I've been concealing my identity to go undercover within the industry.
00:02:19I've learned our competitors from the inside.
00:02:21Trust me.
00:02:24I'm more than ready.
00:02:27Furthermore, Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:02:33Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:02:39There is a condition.
00:02:40You're going to have to marry Joshua Lane, the heir of Lane Holdings.
00:02:45Mia's never even met this guy before.
00:02:47It's a strategic alliance, Noah.
00:02:51It's what's best for our families and the company.
00:02:54I'll do it.
00:02:58I'll marry Joshua Lane if that's what it takes.
00:03:00And this alliance will strengthen our company and secure our future.
00:03:08Isn't Joshua Lane famous for being called them Ruffles?
00:03:20That's what I heard.
00:03:21But I think it'll be good for the company.
00:03:24I don't think it'll be good for the new CEO.
00:03:25Joshua, I was hoping we could...
00:03:47Not interested.
00:03:49Get lost.
00:03:53Man, you are brutal.
00:03:55That's the fifth girl you've turned down tonight.
00:03:58Hey, I heard you're getting hitched to Mia Gerber.
00:04:00Why didn't you turn her down?
00:04:02This marriage is what my parents want.
00:04:04Couldn't care less about her.
00:04:05Oh, come on.
00:04:06She's the heiress to the Gerber Corporation.
00:04:08There must be some perks to her.
00:04:09Perks are not.
00:04:11She'll learn quickly that I'm not one to be messed with.
00:04:13Gonna give her a hard time, huh?
00:04:15Let's just say that she's got something coming.
00:04:27Do you, Joshua Lane, take Mia Gerber for your lawfully wedded wife?
00:04:32I do.
00:04:35And you, Mia Gerber, do you take Joshua Lane for your lawfully wedded husband?
00:04:40I do.
00:04:42Uh, the rings?
00:04:51You may now kiss the bride.
00:05:06Let's get one thing straight, Mia.
00:05:07Mia, this marriage is a show for our family and the rest of the world.
00:05:12Don't expect any affection from me.
00:05:14Understood.
00:05:15And vice versa.
00:05:16My parents want to set up a dinner with us.
00:05:34My assistant will set it up.
00:05:36She can coordinate schedules with my assistant.
00:05:38Done.
00:05:39Joshua has always been so distant with people, unlike Alex here, who's so popular and charismatic.
00:06:08You should see all of the women I can't stop chasing.
00:06:12Well, at least I don't have to worry if Alex can give me a grandson.
00:06:18But I wonder, Joshua, if you can even warm up enough to give me a child.
00:06:24We need an heir after all.
00:06:26Eleanor?
00:06:28That's enough.
00:06:28I'm just saying, perhaps Alex is a better fit to leave Lane Hortons.
00:06:35Quite the contrary.
00:06:37Actually, Joshua's very passionate.
00:06:40Especially in the bedroom.
00:06:42No doubt that you'll have that heir soon.
00:06:45For your information, passion is not in my DNA, nor does it align with my personal brand.
00:06:58But still, thank you for standing up for me.
00:07:01I just didn't appreciate your stepmom's attitude.
00:07:13Get the campaign ready.
00:07:14Want that jerk out, Asa.
00:07:20Noah, hey.
00:07:22I need a favor.
00:07:23You're right.
00:07:28Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua.
00:07:32Blue Diamond PR is already involved.
00:07:34What agency are we using?
00:07:37We're still deciding.
00:07:38Bids are open for this year's contract.
00:07:41Perfect.
00:07:43I have a plan.
00:07:43I'm offering the Gerber Corporation's annual PR budget.
00:07:50It's one of the largest in the industry.
00:07:53That's an enticing offer, Miss Gerber.
00:07:56What do you ask of me in return?
00:07:58I need you to withdraw from any campaign against Joshua Lane.
00:08:02I don't mind.
00:08:03I'll cover the cancellation fee.
00:08:10You have a deal.
00:08:11The Gerber Corporation account is too good to pass up.
00:08:16There's a little more.
00:08:18I need you to spread the word.
00:08:20Any PR firm that goes against Joshua Lane
00:08:23will be blacklisted from the Gerber Corporation
00:08:25and our allies.
00:08:27You got it.
00:08:28No one in this industry would be stupid enough
00:08:30to fight against the Gerber Corporation.
00:08:34Wonderful.
00:08:35Looking forward to a fruitful partnership.
00:08:41I have evidence of Alex's scheme against you,
00:08:46but don't worry, I've already taken care of it.
00:08:50I always knew Eleanor and Alex to be after my position.
00:08:53I just didn't expect Alex to be this bold.
00:08:57How do you know about this?
00:08:58Alex struck me as opportunistic.
00:09:00A smear campaign is the easiest way
00:09:01to sway the shareholders' opinion,
00:09:03and Eleanor's background in PR
00:09:05made this move predictable.
00:09:07You're more perceptive than I thought.
00:09:10Why are you helping me?
00:09:14Our family's alliance is crucial.
00:09:16Protecting you means protecting the Gerber Corporation.
00:09:19It's all business.
00:09:23Business, right.
00:09:24Well, in that case,
00:09:26I should help you with your beef
00:09:27with Catherine and Bradley, right?
00:09:31How did you know about that?
00:09:34Didn't expect me to enter into the marriage
00:09:36without doing background checks.
00:09:37I just don't get what the big deal about your ex is.
00:09:40I mean, he cheated on you.
00:09:42So what?
00:09:46She must be faking it to trap you.
00:09:48How dare you?
00:09:52You had no right
00:09:54to dig into my past like that.
00:09:56I can take care of myself.
00:10:01What just happened?
00:10:05To your new position as Senior VP.
00:10:10And it's all thanks to my help, of course.
00:10:13Absolutely.
00:10:14You're my lucky charm, honey.
00:10:15You are.
00:10:18Imagine if I'd stayed with Mia.
00:10:23Poor and powerless.
00:10:24That's all she ever was.
00:10:25She's a joke.
00:10:27A stepping stone at best.
00:10:29You by my side, we are unstoppable.
00:10:43Catherine's Hospital is resisting our acquisition.
00:10:45Bradley has the new Senior VP
00:10:47who's leading the pushback.
00:10:50Do they know I'm the CEO yet?
00:10:51No, as per your request.
00:10:53Perfect.
00:10:54Keep at it.
00:11:00Now how do I pull this off?
00:11:02There are gaps in Mia's medical record
00:11:13right after her breakup.
00:11:14These are from the Gerber Corporation's
00:11:16own hospital.
00:11:17Only someone higher up from within
00:11:19can access it.
00:11:26I want to know what happened to Mia
00:11:28during that gap,
00:11:29after the breakup.
00:11:29Even if I know,
00:11:31why would I tell you?
00:11:33Mia helped me,
00:11:34but unless I understand
00:11:35that part of the puzzle,
00:11:37I won't be able to return her fate.
00:11:39Do you care for her?
00:11:42You don't dislike her?
00:11:44No, Mia deserves someone
00:11:45who truly loves her.
00:11:47Not you.
00:11:49She's a grown woman.
00:11:51She knows what she wants.
00:11:52Nobody gets to tell her what she deserves.
00:11:54Especially not you.
00:11:54You can choose
00:12:03not to share the information,
00:12:06but you won't be helping her.
00:12:09Your choice.
00:12:09All right, look.
00:12:15If you have to know,
00:12:17unfortunately,
00:12:19Mia had a miscarriage
00:12:20because of an accident
00:12:22involving Bradley and Cap.
00:12:23how are you
00:12:43feeling?
00:12:46It's none of your business.
00:12:48Not that you would know
00:12:49what that means.
00:12:50I'm sorry for overstepping
00:12:52and being insensitive.
00:12:54I learned about your miscarriage.
00:12:56I had no idea.
00:12:58You didn't know?
00:12:59That doesn't excuse my behavior.
00:13:02I apologize.
00:13:04I may have overreacted.
00:13:06You were hurting.
00:13:07That's understandable.
00:13:09So you're not a robot,
00:13:11like everyone says you are?
00:13:12Of course I'm not.
00:13:14Who says that?
00:13:14Everyone.
00:13:16Your family,
00:13:17your friends,
00:13:18your co-workers,
00:13:20enemies.
00:13:21I even heard the maids
00:13:22joking about it the other day.
00:13:24Fire them all.
00:13:26No, no.
00:13:27No, it's okay.
00:13:28They're allowed to joke.
00:13:30They've been doing
00:13:30a wonderful job.
00:13:32Besides,
00:13:33I think you should
00:13:34talk like this.
00:13:36It suits you.
00:13:37It's not funny.
00:13:41I...
00:13:42It's late.
00:13:45I'm going to bed.
00:13:48Okay.
00:13:50Good night.
00:13:57Talk like this.
00:13:58Go ahead with plan.
00:14:12Short the stock
00:14:13of Catherine's company.
00:14:14I want to see them bleed.
00:14:25Mia,
00:14:26you need to see this.
00:14:27The stock of Catherine's hospital
00:14:28has been shortened dramatically.
00:14:30They're on the verge
00:14:31of bankruptcy.
00:14:32Just a week?
00:14:33How is this possible?
00:14:34Seems like a coordinated attack.
00:14:36Someone powerful
00:14:37is behind this.
00:14:41Joshua.
00:14:47Did you short Catherine's stock?
00:14:49Yes, I did.
00:14:51Why?
00:14:52Strictly for business.
00:14:53To protect our family's alliances.
00:14:55Your enemies are my enemies now.
00:14:57Thank you, Joshua.
00:14:58I just did what's necessary.
00:15:00Just like you would do.
00:15:01Now to pay a little visit
00:15:02to Bradley and Catherine.
00:15:11Bradley,
00:15:12what are we going to do?
00:15:13They're taking everything.
00:15:15I can't believe this is happening.
00:15:16As of now,
00:15:19this hospital is under
00:15:20Gerber Corporation's control.
00:15:22Yes, the Gerber Corporation.
00:15:24As in my family's company.
00:15:25Mia Gerber?
00:15:26I thought you were Mia Whitlock.
00:15:28Whitlock was just a name I used
00:15:30to conceal my identity.
00:15:31You betrayed and hurt my wife.
00:15:34Now you're facing the consequences.
00:15:36I've resigned.
00:15:37You can't touch me.
00:15:38Resignation or not, Bradley,
00:15:39your career is over.
00:15:40I've seen to it that everyone
00:15:41in this industry
00:15:42won't touch you
00:15:43after what you've done.
00:15:45Mia,
00:15:46you know that I never meant
00:15:48to hurt you.
00:15:49This hospital is all
00:15:50that I have left.
00:15:51Please.
00:15:52No.
00:15:53That day that I fell,
00:15:56you stood there and watched.
00:15:58You made your decision then.
00:16:00Mia, can we talk?
00:16:01I know I hurt you deeply.
00:16:02I just want to apologize
00:16:03to make things right.
00:16:19Mia, I'm truly sorry
00:16:21about everything.
00:16:23I dreamt about you
00:16:24and the baby every day.
00:16:26I just couldn't bring myself
00:16:27to tell you this
00:16:28after the accident
00:16:28because I felt so ashamed of myself.
00:16:31Your apology can't undo
00:16:32what's been done, Bradley.
00:16:34I know.
00:16:35I just,
00:16:36I need you to know
00:16:37that I will always care
00:16:39about you deeply.
00:16:53You're really like they say.
00:16:55Tall,
00:16:56handsome,
00:16:57powerful.
00:17:05You know I can make you
00:17:07a very happy man.
00:17:10I do not engage with women
00:17:14who have no shame.
00:17:16Get your hands off me.
00:17:22Catherine manipulated me,
00:17:24but now I realize
00:17:24she's nothing compared to you.
00:17:26We could start over.
00:17:28With your family's resources,
00:17:29I could help you grow the business.
00:17:31With your parents again,
00:17:32give us a chance.
00:17:33You know,
00:17:35if I wasn't 100% sure before,
00:17:38I am now.
00:17:39You're a piece of human trash.
00:17:43You're right.
00:17:44I'm dirty.
00:17:44But think about
00:17:45all the good memories we have.
00:17:46Think about more to come.
00:17:48Just say...
00:17:48Let go.
00:17:49Mia,
00:17:49don't.
00:17:49Bradley.
00:17:50I'm serious.
00:17:50Don't.
00:17:51Get the fuck out of here.
00:17:54Get the fuck out of here.
00:18:02I should have intervened
00:18:03before Bradley could touch you.
00:18:04It's fine,
00:18:05Joshua.
00:18:06Thank you for
00:18:07stepping in.
00:18:08Thank you for
00:18:09everything.
00:18:14Yeah,
00:18:15I followed through
00:18:15with all my business plans.
00:18:17Right.
00:18:18Yeah.
00:18:19The business plan.
00:18:21You know,
00:18:22you call me your wife
00:18:22for the first time.
00:18:25Don't look into it
00:18:26too much.
00:18:27Let's go.
00:18:28Actually,
00:18:29you know what?
00:18:31Now that all the revenge
00:18:32is done,
00:18:33I think I want to
00:18:34take some time alone
00:18:35to
00:18:35figure out my feelings.
00:18:39I understand.
00:18:45They've destroyed everything.
00:18:47We can't let them
00:18:48get away with this.
00:18:52What if we take
00:18:53Mia?
00:18:56A ransom would help us
00:18:57but hurt Mia.
00:18:59Yes.
00:19:01Abducting Mia Gerber.
00:19:03Let's see how
00:19:04Joshua Lane reacts then.
00:19:06But how will we get to Mia?
00:19:08I know that she always
00:19:09goes to this one spot
00:19:10alone.
00:19:11From what I know
00:19:12about her,
00:19:12she must be there
00:19:14right now.
00:19:15I know that she's
00:19:15going to be there
00:19:16right now.
00:19:17What if I do?
00:19:17What if I do?
00:19:17What if I do?
00:19:18What if I do?
00:19:18What if I do?
00:19:18What if I do?
00:19:19I don't know.
00:19:49To be continued...
00:20:19Help!
00:20:28Thought you could get rid of us, Mia?
00:20:32You and Joshua will regret ever crossing us.
00:20:36Don't bring him into this, you bitch!
00:20:49That's what we're talking about, too.
00:20:58Look at you, just as pathetic as the day you fell.
00:21:02Of course I could have saved you, but why would I?
00:21:07You and your baby are worth nothing.
00:21:15Joshua Lane, listen.
00:21:19We have Mia Gerber.
00:21:20You want her back?
00:21:21Get ready with a hefty ransom.
00:21:23I'll pay the ransom.
00:21:25But listen to me clearly.
00:21:27I will hunt you down in your wish you never crossed me!
00:21:37Based on the footage from Mia's car camera,
00:21:40it seems Bradley and Catherine are behind this.
00:21:43These are the possible locations where Mia can be.
00:21:47This one.
00:21:49Let's get you out of the way.
00:21:58Mia.
00:22:01I got you.
00:22:01I got you.
00:22:01I got you.
00:22:05Let's get you out of here.
00:22:06Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:22:36Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:22:44Josh, Josh, stop.
00:22:48It's not worth it.
00:23:06But I guess, that's just life someday.
00:23:20Made you some soup.
00:23:28It's very unique.
00:23:31What is this?
00:23:32My mom's recipe.
00:23:34Before she passed away, she used to make it for me when I was sick.
00:23:38Thought it might comfort you.
00:23:40I must have made it wrong.
00:23:42It's wonderful.
00:23:44I don't know how to thank you enough.
00:23:46It's nothing.
00:23:48I just did what I had to do.
00:23:52Joshua.
00:23:54Is this still just a marriage of convenience for you?
00:23:58Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Lane.
00:24:00A guest has arrived.
00:24:02My name is Susie Harper.
00:24:04Susie's back.
00:24:12Oh, I've missed you so much.
00:24:20Susie, it's been ages.
00:24:22When's the last time we saw each other?
00:24:24Um, four years ago.
00:24:26Before I went abroad.
00:24:28It's been too long.
00:24:29Welcome back, Susie.
00:24:30I came back just for you.
00:24:32Oh, there's so much...
00:24:34Hey.
00:24:36Uh, Susie, this is my wife, Mia.
00:24:40Um, Mia, this is Susie.
00:24:42Uh, an old friend of mine.
00:24:44So, you're the one Joshua had to marry.
00:24:47Oh, Susie.
00:24:49That's enough.
00:24:50Joshua and I have a special bond, you know?
00:24:54We've been friends since, like, forever.
00:24:58He means a lot to me.
00:25:00I want him to be happy.
00:25:01I think we all want that.
00:25:03Do you?
00:25:04Joshua and I talk often over the phone.
00:25:07He confides in me.
00:25:09I'm one of the few he truly trusts.
00:25:11He mentioned he was quite unhappy about the marriage.
00:25:15Right.
00:25:16Uh, well, it seems like you two have a lot to catch up on.
00:25:19So, I'll leave you to it.
00:25:26Susie, why would you say those things?
00:25:29I told you I had doubts before the wedding.
00:25:32Not since then.
00:25:33Joshua, you're clearly unhappy.
00:25:35I was just speaking up for you.
00:25:38I don't need you to look out for me.
00:25:41I'm sorry.
00:25:42I just...
00:25:45I was trying to help, since you clearly didn't want the marriage.
00:25:51I don't mind it now.
00:25:53Do you like her?
00:25:55She's fine.
00:25:58This means I still have a chance.
00:26:01Joshua.
00:26:03If I had stayed by your side, you never would have had to marry a complete stranger like Mia Gerber.
00:26:09I'm sure it hasn't been pleasant.
00:26:12Now that I'm back, you can always talk to me.
00:26:15Susie, you're a great friend.
00:26:18Of course.
00:26:19I'll always be there for you.
00:26:28How's it going?
00:26:30It's this marriage.
00:26:31It's Joshua.
00:26:32He's like a shadow.
00:26:33He's...
00:26:35Always there, but never really close.
00:26:39You deserve someone who can give you all the love and appreciation you need.
00:26:44Remember, if you ever need anything, I'm here.
00:26:48Thank you, Noah.
00:26:49How could I live without you?
00:26:52How could I live without you?
00:26:56I can't live without you.
00:26:57How could I live without you?
00:26:58I'll do everything to protect you, Mia.
00:26:59How could I live without you?
00:27:00I'll do everything to protect you, Mia.
00:27:04How could I live without you?
00:27:05How could I live without you?
00:27:06How could I live without you?
00:27:07How could I live without you?
00:27:08I'll do everything to protect you, Mia.
00:27:10How could I live without you?
00:27:11How could I live without you?
00:27:22I'll do everything to protect you, Mia.
00:27:36Joshua!
00:27:37we can't be like this forever we have to talk
00:27:42why don't you talk to noah
00:27:46seems like you have plenty to say to him
00:27:48i don't even know what that means
00:27:50there's nothing between noah and me
00:27:52you and susie on the other hand
00:27:54what
00:27:55whatever you think i don't care
00:28:07what's he doing here
00:28:18look i'm here to deliver some documents to mia
00:28:30and if you ever hurt her just know that i will protect her at all costs
00:28:35and what exactly have you done to protect her
00:28:39it seems like all talk but no action
00:28:40what are you two doing
00:28:44what's going on here joshua why are you acting so rash
00:28:47this is ridiculous you invite him into our house just to talk to him
00:28:50i didn't invite joshua
00:28:53i'm sorry i didn't mean to cause any rift between you two it wasn't my intention
00:28:57it's fine why are you here i'm here to protect you and the company
00:29:02i suspect that duane kaiser has been conspiring with melody healthcare
00:29:08is that duane and the ceo of melody healthcare
00:29:17this plan is our game changer
00:29:20what about melody healthcare they're our biggest rival
00:29:23they're going in a completely different direction we're way ahead of them
00:29:26and how do you know though the ceo approached me the other day
00:29:32he tried to get some information from me but i flipped it and got some information from him
00:29:36like i'd betray my own company you'd be a fool to think that
00:29:40right of course duane let's go ahead with the plan
00:29:43see he's fine i don't know there's something strange about him i can't put my finger on it but
00:29:58just keep your eyes open okay i will
00:30:05may have suspected but i made her trust me now let's go ahead and move forward with the plan
00:30:13excellent once we execute the strategy the gerbers will be blindsided melody healthcare will be the
00:30:20number one me and gerber will be out of the company and i'll be the number one
00:30:27how did they get ahead of us this was our strategy where's duane he's outside
00:30:48melody healthcare just announced their new ai generated online psychiatric care
00:30:56the similarity of the details to ours is uncanny i don't know we kept everything under wraps
00:31:06they must have developed this independently yeah you're just too young you're not experienced
00:31:12enough in this business world this stuff happens i'm experienced enough to know that this
00:31:18is not a coincidence and i don't need you to tell me what i do and do not know why do you look so
00:31:39sullen all the time doesn't look good on you wow thanks for the comfort
00:31:50damn it why did i have to say that like that
00:31:52miss gerber an emergency board meeting has been called what
00:31:59we need to talk about the leadership of this company it is clear that mia's recent decisions
00:32:11well they've been questionable
00:32:18acquiring katherine finney's hospital was big misstep now melody's healthcare is outpacing us
00:32:25i'm sorry but you're too young and inexperienced to be in this role i believe under my leadership our
00:32:33profits have already increased by 20 percent compared to last year
00:32:38that's due to the overall market trend not because your leadership
00:32:44my strategies have been more than effective the finley acquisition has potential long-term benefits
00:32:50and our growth by the way is not just a fluke this company this board needs a leader with experience
00:32:58and vision not someone learning on a job as a senior vp
00:33:02on behalf of all the employees with gerber corporation we support mia i also have evidence
00:33:09that wayne kaiser has been conspiring melody healthcare to undermine the company
00:33:14i also have evidence that wayne kaiser has been conspiring melody healthcare to undermine the company
00:33:22what what is this what are you doing these are communications between wayne and melody
00:33:26healthcare he leaked our strategy
00:33:33you're fired duane effective immediately i've been with you since you found the company
00:33:37all these years i'm never the ceo but you give it to your daughter
00:33:41i've always known you were ambitious but i never thought you would stoop this low
00:33:45your lack of trustworthiness is why you were never ceo we built this company on integrity and trust
00:33:53values you clearly lack
00:33:55security escort mr kaiser out wait
00:34:12mia we're so proud of you you really handled the crisis well thank you you truly are a guru
00:34:19no i i can't thank you enough of course you know i'd do anything for you
00:34:28you know i never asked but how did you get your hands on those documents it all started with a
00:34:35anonymous tip someone delivered photos of duane meeting with the owner of melody healthcare
00:34:40and i intercepted the tip
00:34:44this is your schedule for the week
00:34:46and what's this um seems to be about mr kaiser okay i'll take that too thanks
00:34:51anonymous who would do that i don't know but uh the photos led me to dig deeper
00:35:08and eventually i found clear evidence of his betrayal can i see the photos
00:35:14i think i might know who's behind this but i need to confirm
00:35:28ethan i need to talk to you about these photos is this you in the reflection were you following dwayne
00:35:35yeah it's me joshua asked me to keep an eye on dwayne he's had his suspicions about dwayne's
00:35:41loyalty for a while we then delivered the photos mr lane what a surprise
00:35:49should i tell miss lane you're here no need to
00:35:55why couldn't joshua just tell me about his suspicions joshua is a he's a complicated man
00:36:03he means well but he struggles with expressing himself he's never gone through such steps for
00:36:07anyone before me this must mean he cares about you he could just talk to me next time well joshua has
00:36:15his ways he might not show it but he cares deeply i just ask that you don't hurt him
00:36:23you're a loyal friend ethan
00:36:36joshua i need to talk to you it's about dwayne kaiser and melody healthcare what about it i know you
00:36:43sent ethan to follow dwayne why didn't you just talk to me just seemed like the best course of action at
00:36:48the time joshua is there more to this marriage than the alliance did you do it because no no it's
00:36:55nothing like that i just couldn't have my wife being voted out as ceo on paper it would look bad
00:37:01for me so it's all about appearances yes mia it's all it ever is we agreed to a business arrangement
00:37:09joshua i'm so tired of this of living in a fantasy where i never actually get to know you
00:37:15i'm more than just a tool for business advancement or keeping up appearances

00:38:43Mia.
00:38:44Mia?
00:38:46Here, don't leave.
00:38:48Don't leave.
00:38:48You're drunk.
00:38:49Please, help me take him to his car.
00:38:51I'll take him to my place.
00:38:55He shouldn't be alone.
00:38:57Okay.
00:38:59Let's go.
00:39:09Mia.
00:39:11Mia.
00:39:11Mia.
00:39:19Morning, Josh.
00:39:21Here, drink this.
00:39:23You've had quite a night.
00:39:25Susie.
00:39:27Where am I?
00:39:29This is my apartment.
00:39:31Nothing bad happened.
00:39:33I also drove your car back here.
00:39:35How did I get here?
00:39:37You were really drunk.
00:39:39I didn't think you should be alone.
00:39:42Josh, what happened?
00:39:43It's over between me and Mia.
00:39:46We're getting a divorce.
00:39:53Maybe it was never meant to be.
00:39:56You deserve someone who understands and loves you.
00:40:13No, I...
00:40:26I can't do this, Susie.
00:40:29Why?
00:40:30I have always loved you.
00:40:33Now that you and me are getting a divorce, we can finally be together.
00:40:37Susie, you are a dear friend and like a little sister.
00:40:42It can't be anything more.
00:40:44I'm sorry.
00:40:46Do you really love that Mia Kerber?
00:40:53Yes, as a matter of fact, I do.
00:40:55I need to go tell her.
00:40:58Now.
00:40:59Now.
00:41:22Your call has been forwarded to a lot of heading points.
00:41:25No, uh, hey.
00:41:44I've decided to divorce Joshua.
00:41:46Are you okay?
00:41:48I'm fine.
00:41:49It's just...
00:41:50It's for the best.
00:41:52There's something I need to tell you about.
00:41:54Listen.
00:41:55Sorry.
00:41:56It's the hospital.
00:41:57Hello?
00:41:58What?
00:42:00What happened?
00:42:01Is he okay?
00:42:03Okay, yeah.
00:42:04I'll be right there.
00:42:05What's wrong?
00:42:06It's Joshua.
00:42:07He's been in an accident.
00:42:16Excuse me.
00:42:16Excuse me.
00:42:17I'm here for Joshua Lane.
00:42:18Joshua.
00:42:29Miss Kerber?
00:42:30Yeah.
00:42:30We found that Mr. Lane was attempting to call you when the accident occurred.
00:42:36It's somebody's fault.
00:42:37It was nobody's fault.
00:42:41It was an accident.
00:42:42But right now, he needs you.
00:42:45Do your best to help him wake up, will you?
00:42:47I won't leave you.
00:42:48I won't leave you, Joshua.
00:42:55You remember that soup you made me?
00:42:58It meant the world to me.
00:42:59And whenever you get better, I'm going to make you that soup.
00:43:07Because I know it was your mom's recipe.
00:43:10It was those little moments with you.
00:43:11You know, whenever we would wake up and come out of our rooms and see each other in the morning.
00:43:20Sometimes that was the happiest part of my day.
00:43:31Please come back to me.
00:43:36This is all your fault, Mia.
00:43:39You drove him to this.
00:43:41You hurt him.
00:43:43And now, look what's happened to him.
00:43:53Mia, we have a problem.
00:43:55Eleanor and Alex are plotting to make Alex the new CEO while Joshua's in a coma.
00:43:59Now even Joshua's father has been convinced.
00:44:02So they're using Joshua's condition to their advantage.
00:44:05I won't stand for it.
00:44:06What's the plan?
00:44:08I'm meeting with Mr. Lane.
00:44:09He's a key shareholder of Lane Holdings.
00:44:11His voice can sway their way.
00:44:13Thank you for agreeing to meet me on such short notice, Mr. Lane.
00:44:19I've always been curious about the famous Mia Gerber.
00:44:22After all, you're the one who led Gerber Corporation to the next level.
00:44:25You're too, honey.
00:44:26I'm merely stating a fact.
00:44:28Not everyone in the second generation is as capable as you.
00:44:31So, tell me, why do you want to see me?
00:44:35Is it about Alex being the new CEO?
00:44:37You're a wise man, Mr. Lane.
00:44:41Joshua's vision has been the driving force behind Lane Holdings.
00:44:45We cannot allow Alex to derail that.
00:44:48I can't do anything at this time.
00:44:50Joshua is out of commission.
00:44:52It's best to have someone lead the company.
00:44:55Gerald is not in good health after a stroke.
00:44:58Alex is the only choice.
00:45:01And what if I told you there's another choice?
00:45:06And what if I told you there's another choice?
00:45:10I can be the interim CEO of Lane Holdings as Joshua's legal wife.
00:45:15I can uphold his legacy.
00:45:17And as you mentioned before, I'm a very capable CEO in my own right.
00:45:21Your vote, of course, is crucial.
00:45:23But more than anything, people trust your judgment.
00:45:27If you choose to have faith in me, others will follow.
00:45:30And I promise, I won't disappoint.
00:45:34Can you run two companies at the same time?
00:45:37I have a very capable team over at Gerber Corporation.
00:45:40They'll keep things running smoothly, even if I'm not there full time.
00:45:43I'll devote my time to Lane Holdings until Joshua gets better.
00:45:48What if he doesn't?
00:45:50He will.
00:45:50I admire your tenacity.
00:45:54I'll do what I can.
00:45:56Thank you, Mr. Lane.
00:46:14I'll fight for you, Joshua.
00:46:18You did the same for me.
00:46:19I won't let you down.
00:46:24Given Joshua's current condition, I propose Mia Gerber as the interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:46:38Mia Gerber?
00:46:39She's from a different company.
00:46:41How is she even qualified?
00:46:42Mia is Joshua's wife, the legal heir.
00:46:45She's proven her capabilities with Gerber Corporation.
00:46:48Combining the strengths of both companies and her leadership will only make Lane Holdings strong.
00:46:53This is absurd.
00:46:54This is absurd.
00:46:55Mia is practically a stranger to our company's operations.
00:46:59While I appreciate your concerns, I think my track record speaks for itself.
00:47:06And unlike Alex here, who has had his hand in multiple questionable business dealings,
00:47:11I offer a clean slate and a fresh perspective.
00:47:15I agree with Mr. Lane.
00:47:17Mia's appointment as interim CEO is the best course of action for now.
00:47:21But, Dad, stop, Alice.
00:47:29Joshua, I hope you're proud.
00:47:35Let's go.
00:47:37You ain't gonna take over, no consequences, Mia?
00:47:40I'm gonna make her pay.
00:47:44You won't be touching her.
00:47:45Who the fuck are you?
00:47:52Damn it.
00:47:53She's gone.
00:47:54Take care of me.
00:48:03See the security camera?
00:48:04I'm gonna get the footage.
00:48:06And if you ever try and hurt me again, I'll call the police.
00:48:09You'll never become the CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:48:11Ever.
00:48:13God damn it.
00:48:15Thanks.
00:48:32Noah, what happened?
00:48:34Don't worry, I'm fine.
00:48:36You're not fine.
00:48:38You're bleeding.
00:48:41Are you okay?
00:48:43Are you okay?
00:48:45Thanks, but the reason I came over was I wanted to finish our conversation from before.
00:48:52Mrs. Lane.
00:48:53It's Mr. Lane.
00:48:54He's waking up from the coma.
00:48:58I have to go to the hospital.
00:49:00I just want to tell you something important.
00:49:01No, no, nothing's more important than Joshua right now.
00:49:08Joshua, Joshua, Joshua.
00:49:10It's fucking Joshua.
00:49:11You're awake.
00:49:11Mia.
00:49:12Yeah.
00:49:14When you wake up, we could be together.
00:49:19Mia doesn't deserve you.
00:49:22But you and I, we're meant to be.
00:49:30Mia.
00:49:31Joshua, you're awake
00:49:34Mia
00:49:36Excuse me, miss
00:49:39Mr. Lane?
00:49:44Mr. Lane?
00:49:46Mia
00:49:46Can you hear me, sir?
00:49:49Mia
00:49:49Call his wife, Mia Gerber, immediately
00:49:51Mr. Lane, I need you to concentrate for me
00:49:54Do you remember what day it is?
00:49:56Mia
00:49:57Yes, we're getting your wife right now, sir
00:49:59Joshua
00:50:05I'm sorry, this is all my fault
00:50:08No, Mia
00:50:08Don't blame yourself
00:50:11It's a price I was willing to pay
00:50:14You got hurt because of me
00:50:16Mia, listen to me
00:50:18I'm sorry for all the pain I caused you
00:50:23For not being honest about my feelings
00:50:26I was afraid to admit it
00:50:29Even to myself
00:50:31I can't hide it anymore
00:50:33I love you, Mia
00:50:35I never thought I'd hear you say this word
00:50:39You should have said them sooner
00:50:42I love you too, Joshua
00:50:46Noah Bellini
00:51:00Noah Bellini
00:51:14Drinking alone?
00:51:16What do you want, Dwayne?
00:51:17Just to talk
00:51:18You are underappreciating, Noah
00:51:20Maybe we could help each other out
00:51:25Thank you for standing out for me while I was out
00:51:32I heard you manage as interim CEO of Lane Holdings
00:51:36I handled things
00:51:38I actually have a business meeting later today with a potential partner
00:51:42Who's the partner?
00:51:45Kevin Katz
00:51:45He's a key player in the industry
00:51:49Katz?
00:51:51He's notorious for being
00:51:52Pansy with business partners
00:51:55I don't like the idea of you two being alone
00:51:58I can handle Katz
00:52:00We've dealt with worse
00:52:01Just be careful, alright?
00:52:04I will
00:52:05I promise
00:52:11I gotta go
00:52:16Love you
00:52:17So our collaboration will be mutually beneficial
00:52:27Especially when expanding into new markets
00:52:29Absolutely, Mia
00:52:31I've always admired Lane Holdings
00:52:33Now with you at the helm
00:52:35Perhaps we can find ways to make our partnership more enjoyable
00:52:41Mr. Katz
00:52:44Let's keep this strictly professional
00:52:46Oh, come on, Mia
00:52:49Don't be such a prude
00:52:50Business is more fun when there's a personal touch
00:52:55Don't you agree?
00:53:00I will not be doing business with people who cannot respect personal boundaries
00:53:04You'll regret this
00:53:06Bitch
00:53:07I could ruin Lane Holdings' reputation
00:53:11Now you have one last chance
00:53:15Oh!
00:53:15Oh!
00:53:17Oh!
00:53:19That's for being a disgusting pig
00:53:21Hey!
00:53:30How'd the meeting go?
00:53:35Let's just say Kevin Katz won't be bothering us anymore
00:53:37What did he do?
00:53:40I handled it
00:53:41Okay?
00:53:43Let's just focus on
00:53:44getting you better and back in charge
00:53:46Can I get you some water?
00:53:59Ethan, get the bodyguard and meet me downstairs
00:54:01I can't explain right now
00:54:03Just do it
00:54:03Where's Joshua?
00:54:10Mr. Lane checked out
00:54:12He insisted he was well enough to leave
00:54:14No, he's not fully recovered yet
00:54:16What are you trying to do?
00:54:22Teach you a lesson that you can't touch Joshua Lane's woman
00:54:25You can't do this
00:54:32Lane
00:54:33I can sue you and you'll end up in jail
00:54:36This is you, Mr. Katz
00:54:39Doing something quite illegal
00:54:41I must say
00:54:42Your taste is really reprehensible
00:54:44You can't sue me
00:54:46It was a long time ago
00:54:48If I can still release the video
00:54:50You'll lose everything
00:54:52In fact, I'll just tell you
00:54:55If the victim's identity was protected
00:54:57And they'll be set for the rest of their life
00:55:00You
00:55:02If you so much as speak a word about me or me
00:55:05I'll make sure you wish you were born
00:55:08Where were you? I was worried sick
00:55:14I had to take care of something
00:55:15About cats
00:55:17I told you I handled it
00:55:19I can take care of myself
00:55:21I won't allow anyone laying their hands on you
00:55:23Still, it's so reckless
00:55:24It's okay now
00:55:29You handled it?
00:55:31Yeah
00:55:32I'm flattered by the jealousy
00:55:34I really do love you, Joshua
00:55:38I love you too, Mia
00:55:41I have a surprise for you
00:55:45I made something for you
00:55:56What's this?
00:55:59It's your mom's recipe
00:56:00I found it in a cookbook in the library
00:56:03I can't believe you made this
00:56:08That it might bring you some comfort
00:56:11This is exactly how she used to make it
00:56:22How'd you get it so right?
00:56:25I may have had some help from the internet
00:56:27In about 50 practice runs
00:56:30You're just the best
00:56:35We have a plan that could ship the balance of power
00:56:41In our favor
00:56:43Our plan didn't overthrow Mia Gerber
00:56:47And the Gerber Corporation
00:56:48But this time, we will
00:56:51I don't want Mia to lose everything
00:56:54I promise you
00:56:55She won't
00:56:56With the Gerber family's fortune
00:56:58Mia's set for life
00:57:00She just won't be the CEO anymore
00:57:03Think about this
00:57:05With the Gerber family out of practice
00:57:07Lane Holdings
00:57:08They won't partner with them
00:57:10Joshua and Lane will probably divorce Mia
00:57:12Because she's no use to him
00:57:15Mia can finally be yours
00:57:17Here's the plan
00:57:18We target Gerber Corporation's
00:57:21Medical Device Supplier Network
00:57:23This roughly will cause significant issues
00:57:25In the hospital and psychiatric care units
00:57:28And we proceed
00:57:30Melody Healthcare
00:57:32Has insiders inside their supply chain
00:57:35We'll start by creating delays
00:57:37And quality issues
00:57:38The fallout will be immediate and devastating
00:57:41The resources stretch so thin
00:57:44They won't even see us coming
00:57:46Congratulations on your recovery, Joshua
00:57:54It's good to see you up and about
00:57:56Thanks for coming
00:57:57And thank you for, um
00:57:59Being there for me
00:58:02During the coma
00:58:02It means a lot
00:58:04But it didn't matter, did it?
00:58:09In the end
00:58:10Only Mia matters to you
00:58:12Susie
00:58:13You'll always matter to me
00:58:15But
00:58:17Yes, I love Mia
00:58:19I'll always love you too, but
00:58:21As a friend
00:58:23That's not going to be enough for me
00:58:25It's time for me to live my own life
00:58:28That's why I'm here
00:58:31To say goodbye
00:58:32Um
00:58:34What's your plan?
00:58:37I'm helping out my dad
00:58:38With our family company
00:58:39Harper Medical Devices
00:58:41That's
00:58:43Google Corporation's biggest supplier, right?
00:58:45Yeah
00:58:46Susie, you wouldn't
00:58:48Don't worry, Joshua
00:58:49You're not going to do anything to Mia
00:58:51I'm focusing on my own path now
00:58:53Goodbye, Joshua
00:58:58Why are there so many canceled contracts with Gerber Corporation?
00:59:15Hey
00:59:16You haven't noticed any suppliers backing out of deals with Gerber Corporation?
00:59:25There are rumors someone's been persuading them to cut ties with the Gerbers
00:59:29Hello?
00:59:43What do you mean they've stopped supplying to us?
00:59:46Noah
00:59:57The suppliers are backing out for no reason
01:00:00It's a competitive market, Mia
01:00:02Yeah, but this feels coordinated
01:00:04Isn't that unusual?
01:00:06Yeah, it is, so I'm going to look into it
01:00:08Hey, are you okay?
01:00:12Yeah, I'm fine
01:00:13I'm just busy
01:00:13Don't worry about me
01:00:15Okay
01:00:17You look like you've been through a war zone
01:00:26What will happen?
01:00:28It's the supplier crisis
01:00:29The situation's worse than I thought
01:00:32I don't know what to do, Joshua
01:00:37We'll get through this together
01:00:45Thank you all for coming
01:00:53We understand your concerns
01:00:55And we're prepared to increase profits
01:00:58To maintain our partnerships
01:00:59Now the offer looks good
01:01:12But we heard some rumors of internal issues within the corporation company
01:01:16Involving a higher level
01:01:19Let me assure you
01:01:20Gerber Corporation is as strong as ever
01:01:23These rumors are unfounded
01:01:25You're right
01:01:36There are gaps in Noah's whereabouts
01:01:38Keep digging, Ethan
01:01:40We need concrete evidence
01:01:41Mia, Noah might be involved with the issues at the company
01:01:48There's no way he's very loyal to the company
01:01:52Although he has been acting weird lately
01:01:55Have you ever considered he might have feelings for you?
01:01:59I mean, feelings make us do things
01:02:01Noah...
01:02:03Noah's a brother to me
01:02:04He's never even said anything remotely romantic
01:02:07Actions speak louder than words
01:02:10I mean, sure, he's supportive and caring
01:02:13But that's just Noah being Noah
01:02:15I really don't think there's anything more to it
01:02:17Sometimes the people closest to us
01:02:21Surprise us the most
01:02:23Hey, just wanted to check in
01:02:29We haven't had any time to talk lately
01:02:31I've been good
01:02:32You know, I've just been busy dealing with the supplier crisis
01:02:34I know
01:02:35And I'm really grateful for you
01:02:37You've done so much
01:02:38I never wanted you to be burdened
01:02:39I care too much about you
01:02:46Hey
01:02:47I have a question
01:02:49You don't secretly have feelings for me, do you?
01:03:00What if I do?
01:03:03Oh, uh...
01:03:05Really?
01:03:08I've put this off for too long
01:03:10And I need to tell you now
01:03:12I've loved you since the first time I met you
01:03:17I still remember that day like it was yesterday
01:03:21We were just starting college
01:03:23And came to visit the office during summer break
01:03:26We wore a blue dress
01:03:28And looked like a princess
01:03:29I was just starting off the company
01:03:33I come from a humble background
01:03:35So I never thought I could be with someone like you
01:03:38Not anymore
01:03:40I'm stronger
01:03:43I'm more capable now
01:03:45And I know we should be together here
01:03:48Noah
01:03:51I've really
01:03:56Only ever seen you as a friend
01:03:58It's because Joshua's done things for you
01:04:03I've done more
01:04:05No
01:04:05I love him
01:04:08Okay?
01:04:08We understand each other
01:04:10Because you're both born with silver spoons in your mouth
01:04:13And I wasn't
01:04:13You know it's not that
01:04:16I just...
01:04:17I have a really strong feeling about him
01:04:20I'm...
01:04:21Just not for me
01:04:23Noah, I'm sorry
01:04:26I didn't mean to lead you on
01:04:29It wasn't my intention to hurt you
01:04:32It's okay
01:04:35I understand
01:04:39I just needed to hear it from you
01:04:42No
01:04:44Dwayne
01:04:49Double down on the plan
01:04:51There's no going back now
01:04:54Noah
01:05:01What brings you here?
01:05:05I think it's time for your company to reconsider its partnership with Gerber
01:05:08I'm not sure what you're implying
01:05:10It's simple
01:05:11Harper Medical Devices is the biggest supplier for Gerber Corporation
01:05:15If you cut ties with Gerber
01:05:17It'll deal a critical blow to them
01:05:19So
01:05:22You're the one behind the scheme
01:05:24Why would I go along with it?
01:05:29The question is, why wouldn't you?
01:05:31You and I are alike, Susie
01:05:32How would we love people who don't love us back?
01:05:36I've already let it go
01:05:38Why let it go when you still have a chance?
01:05:41If me and the Gerber family are out of the company
01:05:43The Lean family will end the business alliance
01:05:46Joshua and Mia will get divorced
01:05:48And you and I can finally be with them
01:05:52Join me
01:05:57Together we can make sure we aren't ignored anymore
01:06:00So Mia
01:06:04We've heard smart suppliers are terminating contracts
01:06:07Trust me, we have the situation under control
01:06:10That's not what I heard
01:06:11The rumor is Harper Medical Devices pulling out
01:06:14How do you explain this?
01:06:17I assure you we're addressing the concerns
01:06:19But our relationship with our suppliers has never been stronger
01:06:22As one of the largest shareholders
01:06:24I have complete faith in Mia's leadership
01:06:26These rumors are just that
01:06:29Rumors
01:06:29The rumor was right
01:06:37Harper Medical Devices decided to terminate the contract with us
01:06:41But there's still hope
01:06:43I've convinced Harper to continue their partnership with us
01:06:46But only if I become the new CEO
01:06:49It's time for a change in leadership
01:06:53Someone who can steer this company in the right direction
01:06:56So I've brought Susie Harper with me
01:06:58The acting CEO of Harper Medical Devices
01:07:01Susie will tell you all that
01:07:04She would like Mia Gerber to resign
01:07:07Actually, I think there's been a misunderstanding
01:07:12Harper Medical Devices never intended to terminate our contracts with Gerber Corporation
01:07:18Any rumor suggesting otherwise is false
01:07:21Furthermore, I believe in Mia's leadership
01:07:26And the direction that she's taking this company
01:07:29Thank you Susie
01:07:31I owe you a big one
01:07:33You don't owe me anything
01:07:34I just want Joshua and the person he loves to be happy
01:07:38Promise me
01:07:42Never hurt him
01:07:43And I have evidence that Noah Balani
01:07:49Has been conspiring with former ousted executive Dwayne Kaiser
01:07:53To sabotage the company
01:07:55Mr. Balani
01:07:58Your actions have endangered the company
01:08:01And everybody in it
01:08:02You're therefore terminated
01:08:04Immediately
01:08:05It's quite the view
01:08:30I thought a lot about what happened
01:08:38And I wanted to say sorry
01:08:40I should have been clearer
01:08:43I didn't mean to lead you on
01:08:45I was lost, Mia
01:08:49My actions
01:08:51My obsession
01:08:52I'm sorry for everything
01:08:55We both made mistakes
01:09:00We're just glad we can put it all behind us
01:09:03You were a good friend, Noah
01:09:07You were more than a friend than me, Mia
01:09:10I've learned to let go
01:09:13I just want you to be happy
01:09:18I am
01:09:20I hope you find your happiness, too
01:09:25Take care, Noah
01:09:28Me too
01:09:32We are gathered here today to witness the reaffirmation of vows between Mia and Joshua Lane
01:09:52Joshua Lane
01:09:53Joshua, our marriage was out of necessity
01:09:57But you've become my partner
01:09:58My rock
01:09:59My best friend
01:10:00Mia, you've given me the gift of a real family
01:10:01I will vow to cherish and love you forever
01:10:05This is just the beginning of our forever
01:10:26You
01:10:27You
