00:00:00Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively.

00:00:09We're about to hit the limit down.

00:00:12What the hell is going on here?

00:00:15Half of you came from major investment banks.

00:00:18Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do.

00:00:22Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.

00:00:26They're shorting us simultaneously.

00:00:28There is nothing we can do.

00:00:30Sir, what are our next steps?

00:00:37Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunchtime.

00:00:46Hey, this is a private meeting.

00:00:48Excuse me, ma'am.

00:00:49Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple minutes?

00:00:51Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years?

00:00:57That's impressive.

00:00:58But losing your cool over a little market turbulence?

00:01:05That seems out of character for you.

00:01:07Do I know you?

00:01:10Wait, what are you doing?

00:01:14What are you doing?

00:01:15You can't do this.

00:01:16You're just a cleaner.

00:01:17You can't be messing with the company funds.

00:01:18This is incredible.

00:01:20This is incredible.

00:01:21What's going on?

00:01:22What's going on?

00:01:23It's running at him.

00:01:24It's failing.

00:01:25The price is holding.

00:01:27Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.

00:01:32We met before.

00:01:37They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard Day.

00:01:40Tell me, how could I ever repay you for this?

00:01:44If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.

00:01:53Jason, can we have fire now?

00:02:01Mr. Yates.

00:02:12Mr. Yates.

00:02:13What, only two bodyguards this time?

00:02:16You're not going soft on me, are you?

00:02:18No, ma'am.

00:02:19I just thought you might like the script today.

00:02:21Now, listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Laws Group.

00:02:27Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.

00:02:31Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.

00:02:37Look, today is Ben's birthday.

00:02:40Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.

00:02:43Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.

00:02:47Because what I want is a simple life.

00:02:50With Ben.

00:02:52Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house.

00:02:58For my sake.

00:03:08Divorce papers.

00:03:09Sign it.

00:03:17Why?

00:03:18You are not worthy of my son anymore.

00:03:21The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.

00:03:28The Shepard Group.

00:03:29And you, you're just a cleaner.

00:03:32The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.

00:03:37I need a wife who reflects my status.

00:03:39I secured that $100 million contract.

00:03:42You, a cleaning woman, handing out million-dollar deals.

00:03:48Don't make me laugh.

00:03:49I did.

00:03:50I did.

00:03:52It was my present to Ben for his birthday.

00:03:55I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.

00:03:58What are you doing here?

00:04:01Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.

00:04:05Amber's family is practically local royalty.

00:04:09Local royalty.

00:04:10A small-town rich person is royalty.

00:04:13And what qualifications do you have to judge, Ms. Cleaner?

00:04:16Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor.

00:04:20Doesn't it, Ben?

00:04:22What's going on?

00:04:26Is this why you want a divorce?

00:04:28Because of her?

00:04:29Oh, please.

00:04:30I've spent years building Harrison Group.

00:04:33You're still a cleaner.

00:04:34You just grew apart, that's all.

00:04:36Growing apart?

00:04:39No.

00:04:41No, I won't sign any agreement then.

00:04:46I won't sign.

00:04:48Money is a motivator, isn't it?

00:04:53Ben.

00:04:55All right.

00:04:56Here.

00:04:57$100,000.

00:04:58Open up a small shop or something else.

00:05:01$100,000?

00:05:03I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.

00:05:08Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?

00:05:11Don't be ridiculous.

00:05:13You've never done anything for Ben's success.

00:05:15This is our active charity to work.

00:05:18Here.

00:05:19A million dollars.

00:05:20Take this.

00:05:21You just want more money, don't you?

00:05:23Just leave and never see Ben again.

00:05:27I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.

00:05:33Since none of you respect me.

00:05:37A cleaning lady threatening us.

00:05:39I'm so scared.

00:05:42Just leave.

00:05:43You already make this house stink.

00:05:44Thank God she's gone.

00:05:53Go to written store.

00:05:58Sir?

00:05:59Laura Lewis' information.

00:06:04She's Ben Harrison's wife.

00:06:07No wonder why she wanted to partner with him.

00:06:09Actually, sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.

00:06:12Divorced her?

00:06:13Wait a minute.

00:06:17Don't you remember?

00:06:18She's the one who helped us with the suite of contracts three years ago.

00:06:22Yeah.

00:06:23She's saved our hiding now.

00:06:25Remember?

00:06:27Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?

00:06:31Oh.

00:06:31Let's get to the vinyl news.

00:06:39Hey!

00:06:39What are you doing?

00:06:41Let go of me!

00:06:42You attacked Amber!

00:06:43Apologize this instant!

00:06:48Stealing from the Harrisons.

00:06:49We gave you a generous divorce, we gave you a generous divorce settlement, you refused it, and now you're stealing!

00:06:54She couldn't afford it.

00:06:56You're a thief!

00:07:03That's mine!

00:07:04Give it back!

00:07:05Wait!

00:07:05That's enough!

00:07:08Laura?

00:07:10I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.

00:07:13It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.

00:07:20You see, it's...

00:07:20Who are you?

00:07:22Laura's new squeeze.

00:07:24Excuse me.

00:07:25Do you know who I am?

00:07:26Is this true?

00:07:27You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?

00:07:30Shame on you!

00:07:31Mr. Shepard, I...

00:07:32For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.

00:07:35I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.

00:07:38Oh, please.

00:07:39A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be called dead with a cleaner.

00:07:42You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?

00:07:45That's really interesting, considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.

00:07:50That's ridiculous.

00:07:52He doesn't look like that.

00:07:53My ring?

00:07:55Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.

00:07:56Oh, hey, what are you doing?

00:08:00Laura, let's get you out of here.

00:08:03Now.

00:08:03Hold on a minute, Laura.

00:08:05Who the heck is this man?

00:08:06Have you been sneaking around?

00:08:08It's all right, ma'am.

00:08:10This is none of your business.

00:08:11All rabbed dead bodies.

00:08:13You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.

00:08:16We are the Harrisons.

00:08:18You can't just waltz in here and take her.

00:08:20Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.

00:08:22Now go back.

00:08:23What?

00:08:24Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?

00:08:27That's a lie!

00:08:28Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura!

00:08:29You come back here and explain yourself.

00:08:31Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!

00:08:36Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the $100 million deal?

00:08:41Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.

00:08:46I don't feel good about going through the signing event.

00:08:50After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?

00:08:53No, um, no, the event will proceed.

00:08:58Besides, I'll be there.

00:09:03There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.

00:09:07Who are you, truly?

00:09:08You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.

00:09:12Um, can you pull up over here, please?

00:09:18Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners,

00:09:24and we're going to have a meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today.

00:09:31Make sure everyone is there.

00:09:36Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.

00:09:41Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.

00:09:43I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.

00:09:46Ben, Harrison.

00:09:49You're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.

00:09:59After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.

00:10:04Only after then, my darling, we can get married.

00:10:08Laura, what are you doing here?

00:10:10Security!

00:10:11Get that woman out of here!

00:10:13We don't need cleaners at this event!

00:10:15Why wouldn't I be here?

00:10:17This is a business event, after all.

00:10:20Business?

00:10:21You wouldn't know business if it hit you on the head.

00:10:23A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.

00:10:26Just get out!

00:10:28Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.

00:10:31You should have taken my $100,000 offer.

00:10:33Oh, Ben.

00:10:34Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?

00:10:38Laura, this is really important for me.

00:10:40Do not ruin this, okay?

00:10:41You don't belong here.

00:10:44Just get out!

00:10:50That's what you get.

00:10:56This contract is mine.

00:10:59To give or take away as I see fit.

00:11:03Don't be ridiculous.

00:11:04This is insane.

00:11:05Who do you think you are?

00:11:07Yeah, put that down.

00:11:07You have no idea what you're doing.

00:11:09Security?

00:11:10She's lost a mind.

00:11:12This is a disaster!

00:11:13Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you.

00:11:18But since you clearly don't deserve it.

00:11:21You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?

00:11:33You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?

00:11:50You're so silly, Laura.

00:11:51Oh, please, honey.

00:11:53You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.

00:11:55Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.

00:11:59I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.

00:12:02And after careful consideration,

00:12:06I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.

00:12:10You really think that the Shepherds group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?

00:12:15You have no authority here.

00:12:17Of course she has the authority.

00:12:25That's the man that Laura went with the other day.

00:12:28What is he doing here?

00:12:28Mr. Shepard?

00:12:29How does he know her?

00:12:30Is that really Brian Shepard?

00:12:33Laura, are you all right?

00:12:37Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.

00:12:40There must be some sort of misunderstanding.

00:12:42There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.

00:12:45This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.

00:12:49Effective immediately.

00:12:52Wait a minute.

00:12:53This contract, I thought you said you got it.

00:12:55It's her.

00:12:56She ruined the contract.

00:12:58You are his mistress, aren't you?

00:13:00An affair?

00:13:01She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?

00:13:05Mom, please, it's okay.

00:13:07This man is...

00:13:08Don't touch me.

00:13:10That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone,

00:13:12has an affair, and you just stand there?

00:13:14You're a disgrace.

00:13:16An adulterer.

00:13:17You deserve to be around...

00:13:18Shut up.

00:13:21Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess,

00:13:24but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.

00:13:27Tricked?

00:13:28Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?

00:13:33What was my name before we got married?

00:13:37Laura Lewis, right?

00:13:39Lewis Group?

00:13:40The Financial Giants?

00:13:42There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.

00:13:45Well, that's crazy.

00:13:48There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.

00:13:51That's absurd.

00:13:52It's...

00:13:53It's...

00:13:54It's absurd!

00:13:56A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.

00:14:00Yeah.

00:14:00Yeah, it's a lie.

00:14:02It's a lie.

00:14:02This woman was a waitress when I met her.

00:14:04In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.

00:14:07She's nothing special.

00:14:09She only married me out of gratitude.

00:14:11I was just a waitress.

00:14:14How convenient for your story, Ben.

00:14:16First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.

00:14:20Okay, listen up, everybody.

00:14:21When I met her, I'd only just started my business.

00:14:25Mm-hmm.

00:14:25Now look at me.

00:14:26I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.

00:14:28And look at her.

00:14:30Still just a clear.

00:14:31Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.

00:14:35She's doing all this out of spite.

00:14:37She's lying, Mr. Shepard.

00:14:39She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?

00:14:45Let's make something clear.

00:14:47I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.

00:14:52I used my resources to help my ex-husband,

00:14:56but all he saw me as was the maid.

00:14:57Don't lie.

00:14:59You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.

00:15:02Oops.

00:15:02That roof was built with lies.

00:15:06Kathy, you never respected me.

00:15:08And Ben?

00:15:10Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.

00:15:13And the cheating.

00:15:15I think you're blaming the wrong person.

00:15:17You were not good enough for Ben then,

00:15:20and you're certainly not good enough for him now.

00:15:23If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story,

00:15:27then the truth.

00:15:28Kathy, consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.

00:15:33From everything.

00:15:34Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:15:39Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?

00:15:42And then just walk out like nothing happened?

00:15:44I don't think so.

00:15:45You're a cleaner.

00:15:46You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.

00:15:48Nobody cares about you.

00:15:50Cleaning toilets or not,

00:15:51at least I have my self-respect.

00:15:54I don't need a fancy title

00:15:57or a rich husband to feel important.

00:16:03Now, I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.

00:16:06I think all jobs are important.

00:16:08Right, Mom?

00:16:08Ben, what are you doing?

00:16:10But I don't think that a janitor

00:16:13should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.

00:16:15A janitor.

00:16:17Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith

00:16:20exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?

00:16:26You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal.

00:16:30Aren't you, Miss Smith?

00:16:32Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.

00:16:34This woman, Laura,

00:16:36she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.

00:16:39I, but, well...

00:16:41A lie, you say?

00:16:42Miss Smith,

00:16:43I believe you mentioned securing this contract

00:16:45for Harrison's room.

00:16:46But I don't recognize you.

00:16:49Is this true, Miss Smith?

00:16:52Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.

00:16:56This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.

00:17:00But the contract...

00:17:01I mean, Laura tore it up.

00:17:03So can't we just print another one

00:17:05and get this signing ceremony underway?

00:17:08We're printed, Mr. Harrison.

00:17:10Perhaps you haven't been paying attention

00:17:12without Miss Lewis involved.

00:17:14I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.

00:17:21Today, I want to make it clear.

00:17:24Shepard Group has no plans

00:17:26to partner with Harrison Group in the future.

00:17:31Miss Smith, you lied to us.

00:17:33You destroyed everything.

00:17:35What?

00:17:36No, it's a misunderstanding.

00:17:38I can explain.

00:17:40Lewis?

00:17:41Lewis Family Group?

00:17:42This can't be.

00:17:44Believe what you want, Ben.

00:17:46Lewis Group will be holding

00:17:48a massive investment meeting later this week.

00:17:51Three of our vice presidents

00:17:54will be here in Maplewood.

00:17:56And I'm sure you can ask them

00:17:57if you still have any doubts

00:17:59about who I am.

00:18:03Everyone, listen to me.

00:18:05Shepard Group will not be partnered

00:18:07with Harrison.

00:18:09A man who can keep his vows to his wife

00:18:12cannot be trusted

00:18:13to keep his word on the contract.

00:18:16The survey is over, Mr. Harrison.

00:18:18Everyone here deserves to see the truth.

00:18:23Miss Lewis,

00:18:25shall we take this conversation elsewhere?

00:18:33Help!

00:18:35Mom!

00:18:35Someone get a doctor!

00:18:37Mom!

00:18:37It seems you're not as taken

00:18:39quite the term, Mr. Shepard.

00:18:43Indeed.

00:18:45Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.

00:18:48What?

00:18:59What now?

00:19:00Mom, this is not all on me.

00:19:03Not on you!

00:19:04I was trying to help.

00:19:07She cheated on you with Shepard.

00:19:09Loaned at their affair.

00:19:10Exactly.

00:19:12And those dresses?

00:19:13Who could afford those

00:19:14on a janitor's salary?

00:19:16Miss Smith,

00:19:16how could you do this?

00:19:18We trusted you completely.

00:19:21No, no.

00:19:22I got Ben the deal.

00:19:24I had no idea Shepard

00:19:25would call for Laura.

00:19:27She's a liar.

00:19:29Oh, stop it, Amber.

00:19:30You lied to us

00:19:31just as much as she did.

00:19:33Lied?

00:19:34You're on my side.

00:19:36And anyways,

00:19:37I have a plan.

00:19:38The Shepards

00:19:39are no one special.

00:19:40We can expose Laura

00:19:42and all her lies.

00:19:43Go national.

00:19:45We can make ourselves

00:19:45a household name.

00:19:48Now, if you'll excuse me,

00:19:50I have a very important phone call.

00:19:52Thank you so much for tonight,

00:20:00Mr. Shepard.

00:20:00Thank you as well

00:20:01for standing up with me.

00:20:03It's all right, Laura.

00:20:04You deserve the credit

00:20:05for all your hard work.

00:20:06Can I ask you something?

00:20:08Do you have any place

00:20:08to stay tonight?

00:20:10Maybe a hotel?

00:20:11Don't.

00:20:11Don't worry about me,

00:20:13Mr. Shepard.

00:20:13I'll be fine.

00:20:15Um,

00:20:16excuse me,

00:20:16you can just drop me off.

00:20:17Actually, Laura,

00:20:18actually,

00:20:19Laura,

00:20:20there is something else.

00:20:22Would you consider

00:20:22go out for dinner sometime?

00:20:24Just casually,

00:20:25of course.

00:20:26Mr. Shepard,

00:20:27are you asking me out?

00:20:30Please,

00:20:31call me Brian.

00:20:33And yes,

00:20:35technically,

00:20:36you're single now.

00:20:38Yes,

00:20:39that may be true,

00:20:40but, um,

00:20:41going out with

00:20:41a newly divorced

00:20:43ex-cleaner

00:20:44isn't exactly

00:20:45proper.

00:20:47proper.

00:20:50Laura,

00:20:52I don't give a damn

00:20:53about appearances.

00:20:54Tonight,

00:20:55I saw your intelligence

00:20:57and your strength.

00:20:59Those are qualities

00:21:00I truly admire.

00:21:02So what do you say?

00:21:04Dinner?

00:21:06Just two people

00:21:07getting to know each other.

00:21:12I'm sorry,

00:21:13Mr. Shepard,

00:21:14I actually have

00:21:14another appointment

00:21:15tonight,

00:21:16so I can't.

00:21:17Wait,

00:21:18Laura?

00:21:18Just here is fine.

00:21:22Laura?

00:21:28Laura,

00:21:28who is it?

00:21:30Laura,

00:21:30wait!

00:21:32Jason,

00:21:33find out

00:21:33who owns that car

00:21:34and do it best.

00:21:44Ian Lewis?

00:21:45Who is this?

00:21:46It's Amber Smith.

00:21:48Mr. Lewis?

00:21:49I'm sorry for the late call,

00:21:51but I believe I have

00:21:52some urgent information

00:21:53about your family.

00:21:54I don't know who you are,

00:21:56Miss Smith.

00:21:57How did you get this number?

00:21:58Don't worry about that right now.

00:22:01I believe I know someone

00:22:02impersonating Laura Lewis.

00:22:04Someone I know very well.

00:22:07Impersonating my niece?

00:22:10And where is this fake Laura?

00:22:13Right here in Maplewood.

00:22:15And let me tell you,

00:22:16she's causing quite a scene.

00:22:18Well,

00:22:19what is she doing exactly?

00:22:22And more to the point,

00:22:24what do you want from me?

00:22:27In the next few days,

00:22:28the Lewis Group will hold

00:22:29an investment meeting, right?

00:22:30I want to meet

00:22:33with the vice presidents.

00:22:34All will be revealed then.

00:22:36Very well.

00:22:38I'll have my secretary

00:22:39arrange a meeting.

00:22:41But be warned,

00:22:42if this is a waste of my time,

00:22:43I...

00:22:44It won't be.

00:22:45Trust me, Mr. Lewis.

00:22:47Thank you, Mr.

00:22:53That little rascal Laura.

00:22:57I wonder what she's up to now.

00:23:00That car belongs to Mr. Yeats,

00:23:05the Lewis family butler.

00:23:07Oh.

00:23:09Lewis family?

00:23:11That's interesting.

00:23:13Could she be connected

00:23:14to them somehow?

00:23:16I'm not sure.

00:23:19Brian!

00:23:20There you are.

00:23:22I've missed you.

00:23:23Chloe.

00:23:25What are you up to?

00:23:26Chloe,

00:23:26what are you doing here?

00:23:28What do you mean?

00:23:29Can't I visit the man I love?

00:23:32We ended things for a reason.

00:23:34It was just one teensy mistake.

00:23:36I was...

00:23:37I was a little bit tipsy.

00:23:39Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?

00:23:41Teensy mistake, you say?

00:23:42You cheated on me.

00:23:48Is this your new fling?

00:23:50Ex-divorcey?

00:23:51He used to clean floors.

00:23:54It's quite the catch, you say?

00:23:56Look,

00:23:56my relationship with her

00:23:58is none of your business.

00:24:00And don't you dare

00:24:01talk about her like that.

00:24:03Please.

00:24:05An ex-cleaner turned social climber

00:24:07latching onto a wealthy businessman?

00:24:09It's a classic story.

00:24:10That's enough.

00:24:12I'll get the hell out of my office.

00:24:14You want to be careful, Brian.

00:24:16Duke Industries still holds

00:24:17a lot of weight in Maplewood.

00:24:18If you want Shepard Group

00:24:21to stay afloat,

00:24:22you ought to be more careful.

00:24:27Seems like you've got more

00:24:28on your plate than Laura's secrets now.

00:24:36This is it.

00:24:38The Lewis Group vice presidents

00:24:39are on the top floor.

00:24:40Once I'm done speaking with them,

00:24:42I'll have Ben's company

00:24:43rolling in business investments.

00:24:45I'll go speak with them first

00:24:47and then I'll introduce you.

00:24:48Well, well, well.

00:24:51Look who it is.

00:24:52What a surprise.

00:24:54Did Brian teach you already?

00:24:56That's none of your business.

00:24:59Now, move aside, please.

00:25:00Laura,

00:25:01just what do you think

00:25:02you're doing, you...

00:25:03you stupid rat?

00:25:04You really think

00:25:05you can just ruin my events again?

00:25:06Haven't you ruined my life enough?

00:25:07Don't you have any shame?

00:25:09If you'll excuse me,

00:25:10I have an important meeting

00:25:12to get to.

00:25:13Oh, the nerve.

00:25:14After everything you've done,

00:25:15you think you can just

00:25:16waltz in here

00:25:17and manipulate them, too?

00:25:19Seriously?

00:25:20I think you need to reconsider

00:25:22exactly who's manipulating who

00:25:24here.

00:25:25Oh, that's gold.

00:25:26You really think

00:25:27that they're going to let you in, Laura?

00:25:29Please.

00:25:30You're no one compared to me.

00:25:31You don't deserve to be here.

00:25:33The only ones

00:25:34who don't belong here

00:25:36are you three.

00:25:38And you,

00:25:39idiot,

00:25:40believing every lie

00:25:41that she tells you.

00:25:42Wake up, Ben.

00:25:44Oh, Laura!

00:25:45Laura, come on.

00:25:46Why do you always

00:25:47pull this on me?

00:25:48I mean, seriously,

00:25:49can't you just let me

00:25:50enjoy one of my events

00:25:51for once?

00:25:52I know what this is.

00:25:54So stupid.

00:25:56Oh, such a trap.

00:25:58Amber spoke directly

00:25:59with the CEO.

00:26:01He invited her

00:26:01to meet with the VPs

00:26:02before the main meeting.

00:26:04Yeah.

00:26:05Amber got me

00:26:05a partnership

00:26:06with the Lewis Group.

00:26:07And unlike some people,

00:26:09I have a real invitation.

00:26:11Well,

00:26:12before you all

00:26:14start celebrating,

00:26:16why don't you

00:26:16take a look

00:26:17at this?

00:26:23Oh, that's rich.

00:26:24You may have

00:26:25Brian Shepard fooled,

00:26:26but you can't fool me.

00:26:27I spoke to

00:26:28Ian Lewis himself,

00:26:30CEO of Lewis Group.

00:26:31Speaking of

00:26:32Brian,

00:26:33where is he right now?

00:26:35You mean

00:26:35my uncle?

00:26:38Ian,

00:26:38don't be ridiculous.

00:26:40Yeah.

00:26:40Ian Lewis

00:26:41personally gave me

00:26:42this invitation himself.

00:26:44And besides,

00:26:46this looks fake.

00:26:48She's a liar.

00:26:50This

00:26:50is a personal

00:26:52invitation

00:26:52from Mr. Yates himself.

00:26:54It grants me

00:26:55access to the

00:26:56VIP elevator,

00:26:57which leads straight

00:26:58to the

00:26:58vice presidential suite.

00:26:59She's lying.

00:27:01They don't have

00:27:01a VIP elevator

00:27:02in this hotel.

00:27:07Is there a special

00:27:08elevator for VIPs

00:27:09in this hotel?

00:27:11Not that I know of.

00:27:13See?

00:27:13She's lying.

00:27:15There you have it,

00:27:16Laura.

00:27:16Even the hotel staff

00:27:17can spot a fake.

00:27:18Go on,

00:27:19get lost

00:27:19before things get worse.

00:27:21Here,

00:27:24take this one.

00:27:25Lead me to the

00:27:26vice president's

00:27:27you have

00:27:28no

00:27:29idea

00:27:30what you just

00:27:31did.

00:27:32There

00:27:32will be

00:27:33consequences.

00:27:35Besides,

00:27:37if you have

00:27:38this relationship

00:27:38with Ian Lewis

00:27:39that you claim

00:27:40to have,

00:27:41why don't you

00:27:42just ask him

00:27:43to get the two

00:27:44of them

00:27:45an invitation?

00:27:47Security,

00:27:47security,

00:27:48we need this woman

00:27:48removed immediately.

00:27:49she is harassing me.

00:27:50We're done

00:27:51with your games,

00:27:51Laura.

00:27:52You're just a fraud.

00:27:53Man,

00:27:54play's with me.

00:27:54What?

00:27:55Hold on!

00:27:59Brian Shepard?

00:28:01You think money

00:28:02buys you the right

00:28:02to walk all over

00:28:03people?

00:28:04Well, it doesn't.

00:28:05Yeah.

00:28:05Wasn't enough

00:28:06to kick us out

00:28:06of Maplewood,

00:28:07was it, huh?

00:28:08What other plans

00:28:09do you have

00:28:09to destroy this town?

00:28:10Get you out?

00:28:12After what you did

00:28:12to Laura,

00:28:13you had it coming.

00:28:14Don't play dumb.

00:28:16We know exactly

00:28:17what's been happening

00:28:18here.

00:28:18How long has this

00:28:19little affair

00:28:19been going on?

00:28:21You've been sleeping

00:28:21with her since

00:28:22she was married

00:28:22to my son.

00:28:24Hold on a second.

00:28:25An affair?

00:28:27You think Laura

00:28:28and I,

00:28:28you people

00:28:30are unbelievable.

00:28:33Mr. Carter,

00:28:35get down here

00:28:36ASAP.

00:28:36We have a situation.

00:28:38What,

00:28:38you think you can

00:28:39just boss the manager

00:28:40around now?

00:28:40Is that it?

00:28:41Well, stick around

00:28:42and watch you

00:28:42crash and burn.

00:28:44Miss Lewis,

00:28:44apologies for the delay.

00:28:46How can I help

00:28:46you this evening?

00:28:47Thank you,

00:28:48Mr. Carter,

00:28:49for getting down

00:28:49here so quickly.

00:28:51It seems

00:28:52there's a misunderstanding.

00:28:54These people

00:28:55don't think

00:28:55that I belong here.

00:28:57Well, Mr. Carter,

00:28:58I can assure you

00:28:58this woman is a cleaner.

00:29:00A cleaner?

00:29:01Nonsense.

00:29:02I personally agreed

00:29:03to Miss Lewis

00:29:03upon her arrival

00:29:04in Maplewood

00:29:05three years ago.

00:29:06Exactly.

00:29:08Lewis Group,

00:29:10my company,

00:29:12has some major

00:29:13investments

00:29:14planned here

00:29:14in Maplewood.

00:29:15I was just here

00:29:16investigating potential

00:29:17business opportunities.

00:29:19No, this woman

00:29:20doesn't know

00:29:20the difference

00:29:21between business

00:29:22and a hole

00:29:22in the ground.

00:29:23She's been this way

00:29:24since my son

00:29:25divorced her.

00:29:25She's insane.

00:29:26Actually,

00:29:27I met Laura

00:29:28three years ago

00:29:29at the coffee shop.

00:29:30She helped

00:29:31secure a profitable

00:29:33investment

00:29:33for Sheppard Group.

00:29:35No,

00:29:36it's a lie.

00:29:37Mr. Sheppard,

00:29:38she's tricking you too.

00:29:42You know,

00:29:43it's exhausting

00:29:44trying to argue

00:29:45with people

00:29:46who forget

00:29:46who helped them.

00:29:49Mr. Carter,

00:29:50would you mind

00:29:50showing me

00:29:51to the VIP elevator?

00:29:52Wait,

00:29:52Is that why

00:29:53you're covering for her?

00:29:54Huh?

00:29:54Because of the affair?

00:29:55Because she slept with you?

00:29:57Excuse me.

00:29:57Of course.

00:29:58Who are you

00:29:58and how dare you

00:29:59speak to Miss Lewis

00:30:00that way?

00:30:01No,

00:30:01that's enough.

00:30:03Have you,

00:30:03you'll bash yourself enough?

00:30:04This is Lewis Group property.

00:30:06Behave or I'll call security.

00:30:08But she doesn't even have

00:30:09a VIP entrance access.

00:30:12She shouldn't be here.

00:30:14Since you're having

00:30:14trouble understanding them,

00:30:17let me make it clear.

00:30:18This hotel

00:30:19is owned by

00:30:20the Lewis family.

00:30:21It's mine

00:30:23to come

00:30:24or go

00:30:25as I please.

00:30:30Thank you

00:30:30for stepping in,

00:30:31Ryan.

00:30:32I owe you

00:30:33one.

00:30:34We'll talk about this later.

00:30:37Well,

00:30:38it seems

00:30:38divorcing a powerful woman

00:30:40wasn't the best decision

00:30:41Mr. Harris.

00:30:46Come in!

00:30:51Excuse me,

00:30:52Vice Presidents.

00:30:54I'm Amber Smith,

00:30:56General Manager

00:30:56of the Lewis Group

00:30:57Maplewood Branch.

00:30:58I believe Ian Lewis

00:30:59told you about

00:31:00our meeting today.

00:31:01Maplewood Branch.

00:31:03Our records

00:31:04don't show

00:31:05any Maplewood Branch,

00:31:07Miss Smith.

00:31:08Are you sure

00:31:09you haven't gotten

00:31:10something mixed up?

00:31:12Ian Lewis,

00:31:13Mr. Lewis,

00:31:15reassured me

00:31:16that today

00:31:17we would discuss,

00:31:18well,

00:31:19expansion plans.

00:31:22Expansion plans?

00:31:24Miss Smith?

00:31:25A decision like that

00:31:26wouldn't be taken

00:31:26without board approval.

00:31:28And frankly,

00:31:29we haven't heard anything

00:31:30about Maplewood Branch.

00:31:33But

00:31:34Ian Lewis

00:31:34assured me that...

00:31:36Miss Smith,

00:31:37we have a very important

00:31:38guest arriving soon.

00:31:39Perhaps you'd like to schedule

00:31:40a follow-up meeting

00:31:41with one of our staff.

00:31:43Maybe I can stay

00:31:44for this guest

00:31:44and offer some

00:31:45local...

00:31:45Miss Smith,

00:31:46we'd like you to leave.

00:31:47If you don't,

00:31:48we'll call security.

00:31:54Hey,

00:31:55stop there.

00:31:56These elevators

00:31:57are VIP only.

00:31:58Back, please.

00:31:59Of course.

00:32:00My apologies.

00:32:06Oh,

00:32:07Laura?

00:32:08Vice-President,

00:32:12it's so good

00:32:13to see all of you again.

00:32:15Miss Lewis,

00:32:17it's been too long.

00:32:18Your return

00:32:19is a lifesaver,

00:32:20Miss Lewis.

00:32:21The Lewis Group

00:32:22has floundered

00:32:23under your uncle's,

00:32:24well,

00:32:24shall we say,

00:32:25unconventional leadership.

00:32:27The board

00:32:28are begging you

00:32:29to come back,

00:32:30Miss Lewis.

00:32:32Well,

00:32:32please sit.

00:32:34Yes,

00:32:34well,

00:32:34it is time for me

00:32:36to get my career

00:32:37back on track.

00:32:38We've got

00:32:39a meeting planned,

00:32:40a big one,

00:32:41in just a few days.

00:32:43Local powerhouses

00:32:45and smaller players, too.

00:32:47They'll all be there

00:32:48in one spot.

00:32:49Miss Lewis,

00:32:50we met with

00:32:51an Amber Smith.

00:32:54She claimed

00:32:55your uncle

00:32:56appointed her

00:32:57general manager

00:32:58of a Maplewood branch

00:32:59for the Lewis Group.

00:33:01She said that.

00:33:02Did she?

00:33:02Well,

00:33:03Miss Smith

00:33:03is a liar.

00:33:05There is

00:33:05no Maplewood branch,

00:33:07at least not yet.

00:33:08She lied so blatantly.

00:33:09It was,

00:33:10it's unbelievable.

00:33:11Bob,

00:33:12don't worry.

00:33:13I found a much

00:33:14more suitable partner.

00:33:18Shepherd Group.

00:33:19Shepherd Group?

00:33:20Their rise to a public company

00:33:21has been impressive.

00:33:22Do you have anything

00:33:24to do with that?

00:33:26So,

00:33:27what happens now

00:33:28with this

00:33:29Amber Smith?

00:33:31Oh,

00:33:31don't worry about Amber.

00:33:35I've got plans

00:33:36for her.

00:33:39Miss Lewis,

00:33:40consider this

00:33:42your official invitation

00:33:44to the legend

00:33:45from us.

00:33:48Cheers.

00:33:49Cheers.

00:33:51I'm not leaving.

00:34:01What are you talking about?

00:34:02No,

00:34:02come on.

00:34:02Wait!

00:34:03I'm Amber Smith.

00:34:04I'm the Lewis Group

00:34:05manager of Maplewood branch.

00:34:06What are you doing?

00:34:06These are my guests.

00:34:07Yeah,

00:34:07that's right.

00:34:08Tell them who we are.

00:34:09Yes,

00:34:09we were waiting

00:34:10for Miss Smith.

00:34:13Lewis Group,

00:34:13Maplewood branch,

00:34:14no such thing,

00:34:15ma'am.

00:34:16And frankly,

00:34:16I'm not interested

00:34:17in your act.

00:34:18Of course.

00:34:20Laura,

00:34:21she's probably sleeping

00:34:22with the manager as well.

00:34:24That's how she gets

00:34:24away with everything.

00:34:26You underestimate her,

00:34:27Kathy.

00:34:27She's probably sleeping

00:34:28with all three

00:34:29vice presidents.

00:34:30No way a girl like her

00:34:32could get into

00:34:32a hotel like this.

00:34:33Careful with your words.

00:34:35Both of you.

00:34:37Acquisitions like that

00:34:38can get you

00:34:39in serious trouble.

00:34:42Look who can't even

00:34:43get into a meeting

00:34:44whilst I secure three

00:34:45with all the vice presidents.

00:34:47And let's not forget

00:34:48the mystery guests

00:34:49that they're bringing

00:34:49to Maplewood.

00:34:51Looks like she used you

00:34:52and tossed you aside.

00:34:53Used me?

00:34:55Unlike some people,

00:34:56I don't mind being helpful.

00:34:58You're so stupid.

00:35:00She threw you away

00:35:01like yesterday's trash.

00:35:03Don't worry,

00:35:03Brian.

00:35:04You deserve better.

00:35:05And let's not forget,

00:35:07I'm the new

00:35:07Maplewood branch manager

00:35:08of Lewis Group,

00:35:10appointed by the CEO

00:35:11of Lewis Group

00:35:11themselves,

00:35:13Ian Lewis.

00:35:14New branch manager,

00:35:16huh?

00:35:17Interesting.

00:35:18Laura Lewis?

00:35:19What are you doing here?

00:35:20Get out of here!

00:35:22You claim to be

00:35:23the mystery guest.

00:35:25Don't play games, Laura.

00:35:26I was formally invited

00:35:27by Lewis Group themselves

00:35:29to the investment meeting.

00:35:31Only the top companies

00:35:32get those.

00:35:33Looks like you're all

00:35:34out of luck.

00:35:35Is that so?

00:35:36Well, then,

00:35:38there seems to be

00:35:40a misunderstanding.

00:35:42You see,

00:35:42I'm not sure

00:35:43if you know,

00:35:44Miss Smith,

00:35:45but Lewis Group

00:35:46is my company

00:35:47and I decide

00:35:48who goes to the meetings.

00:35:52Escort them out.

00:35:54What?

00:35:54Their visit is over.

00:35:56Oh, come on.

00:35:56This way, please.

00:35:58I'm not leaving.

00:35:59Move.

00:36:01We're not leaving again.

00:36:02Move.

00:36:03Oh, no, no, no.

00:36:03We're not going now.

00:36:04Okay, fine, fine.

00:36:05This isn't over, Laura.

00:36:07You'll see.

00:36:10Thanks for waiting, man.

00:36:14Laura,

00:36:14I'm glad you're okay.

00:36:17And thank you

00:36:19for defending me.

00:36:21I really

00:36:23appreciate it.

00:36:25Um,

00:36:26are you coming

00:36:28to the meeting?

00:36:29Yes,

00:36:30but it's

00:36:31going to be tricky.

00:36:35Why?

00:36:36I'm sure

00:36:37that Shepard Group

00:36:38got an invitation.

00:36:41Yes,

00:36:43Laura.

00:36:45There's something

00:36:46you should know.

00:36:47Is,

00:36:48is this about

00:36:50Ben?

00:36:51Because I can

00:36:52assure you

00:36:52that he won't

00:36:53cause any problems.

00:36:54He won't even

00:36:55get past security.

00:36:57Laura,

00:36:58it's not Ben.

00:37:00It's someone else.

00:37:03Someone's causing

00:37:04problems for Shepard Group?

00:37:08Yes.

00:37:10Her name is

00:37:11Chloe Duke.

00:37:13She is daughter

00:37:14of the Duke family.

00:37:17She's my ex-fiance.

00:37:20And, uh,

00:37:21let's say

00:37:22things didn't end

00:37:23so well

00:37:24between us.

00:37:26And,

00:37:26let's just say

00:37:29we didn't

00:37:30end things so well.

00:37:32And,

00:37:33for some reason,

00:37:34she's having

00:37:35a hard time

00:37:36moving on.

00:37:38And,

00:37:39you think that

00:37:41she's gonna cause

00:37:42problems at the meeting

00:37:44for,

00:37:45out of

00:37:49jealousy?

00:37:51There's a possibility.

00:37:53She's kind of jealous.

00:37:55Well,

00:37:56all the more reason

00:37:58for you to be there.

00:38:00So,

00:38:01I'll be there too.

00:38:06Laura,

00:38:07would you consider

00:38:09being my guest

00:38:10at the meeting?

00:38:12What?

00:38:12Are you worried

00:38:14that this Chloe

00:38:15is gonna cause

00:38:15problems for me too?

00:38:17Maybe a little.

00:38:18But mostly,

00:38:20I wanna show them

00:38:21we're a team.

00:38:22Well,

00:38:23it's a very

00:38:24kind offer,

00:38:25Mr. Shepard.

00:38:28Laura,

00:38:29I don't care

00:38:34about your best.

00:38:35I just want

00:38:36to be by your side.

00:38:38I think

00:38:38I'm falling for you.

00:38:39Yeah.

00:38:40Yeah.

00:38:41Yeah.

00:38:42Yeah.

00:38:42Brian.

00:38:49I,

00:38:49I appreciate

00:38:50your honesty

00:38:52and

00:38:52right now

00:38:53I'm,

00:38:54I'm just not,

00:38:56I,

00:38:56I just don't really

00:38:57have romance

00:38:58on my mind

00:38:59right now.

00:39:00Just with

00:39:00everything going on

00:39:02and

00:39:03going on

00:39:04and

00:39:04It's okay.

00:39:05I just want

00:39:06to be upfront.

00:39:08And if

00:39:09Chloe tries anything,

00:39:11you won't face

00:39:12you're alone.

00:39:12There's just one thing

00:39:17I do need.

00:39:20What is it?

00:39:22A formal dress.

00:39:23Ah, security.

00:39:37She doesn't belong here.

00:39:39This is a private store.

00:39:40Excuse me.

00:39:41We need some assistance.

00:39:43I'm looking for

00:39:44a very particular dress.

00:39:46Wow.

00:39:49It's beautiful.

00:39:51It is.

00:39:52I'll try this one on.

00:39:54Don't bother with her.

00:39:56She can't afford anything here.

00:39:57She's just a cleaner.

00:39:59She doesn't deserve to shop here.

00:40:00She has no money.

00:40:03Yeah, exactly.

00:40:04I mean,

00:40:05what are you doing here?

00:40:06Can't you just leave me alone?

00:40:07I wouldn't bat an eyelash

00:40:08if you just disappeared.

00:40:10I'm here for

00:40:11retail therapy.

00:40:12Oh, please.

00:40:14This store's for the A-list only.

00:40:16Not some cheap state like you.

00:40:18It's just a woman

00:40:19who barged into my marriage.

00:40:21Hey,

00:40:21show some respect.

00:40:24Typical Laura.

00:40:25Just thinks she can buy

00:40:26anything she wants

00:40:26with someone else's money.

00:40:28I would have asked you,

00:40:29but without me,

00:40:30I'm sure you're already booked.

00:40:32Oh, please.

00:40:33Come on.

00:40:33We'll take the dress.

00:40:34Sir,

00:40:35this particular dress

00:40:36is not for sale.

00:40:38Uh,

00:40:38what do you mean

00:40:39you don't sell it?

00:40:40I want it.

00:40:41Name your price.

00:40:42It's not about the price,

00:40:44ma'am.

00:40:44This one was custom made

00:40:46for Miss Lewis,

00:40:46the Lewis Group heiress.

00:40:48The entire brand belongs to her.

00:40:50This beautiful dress

00:40:51is for display purposes only.

00:40:54It wouldn't suit you anyway,

00:40:56Amber.

00:40:56What are you talking about?

00:40:58Of course it would suit her.

00:40:59It'd fit her just fine.

00:41:00And if it wouldn't fit me,

00:41:01it certainly wouldn't fit

00:41:02your chunky self either.

00:41:04Well,

00:41:05buying the whole store,

00:41:06allow me to purchase this dress.

00:41:12Oh,

00:41:12please.

00:41:13Don't you know

00:41:14that this store

00:41:14belongs to Lewis Group?

00:41:15We wouldn't sell it

00:41:17to someone like you.

00:41:18Amber,

00:41:18you're not even

00:41:19a branch manager yet.

00:41:20You don't get to speak

00:41:21on behalf of Lewis Group.

00:41:23Could you?

00:41:24Please tell me more

00:41:25about this dress.

00:41:26Of course.

00:41:27It was custom made

00:41:29for Laura Lewis,

00:41:31heiress to the Lewis Group fortune,

00:41:33and stitched in Italy,

00:41:34naturally.

00:41:35And apparently there are

00:41:36many more like it.

00:41:37This is where

00:41:37high-end stores and museums

00:41:41around the world

00:41:42from her private collection.

00:41:43Laura,

00:41:44do you like this dress?

00:41:47Of course.

00:41:47it's custom made for me.

00:41:50I'm just here to take

00:41:51what's already mine.

00:41:53Oh,

00:41:53you can't be serious.

00:41:54There must be millions

00:41:55of Laura Lewis's

00:41:56out there in the world.

00:41:57Fine,

00:41:58fine.

00:41:59If it's not for sale,

00:42:00can't I at least

00:42:01try it on?

00:42:01it would look

00:42:02incredible on me.

00:42:04Miss,

00:42:04this dress is

00:42:05very delicate.

00:42:07If I may be frank,

00:42:08I don't think this

00:42:09would fit you properly.

00:42:11Are you calling me fat?

00:42:13Actually,

00:42:14on a second thought,

00:42:15why don't we just

00:42:16buy the whole brand?

00:42:18How's that sound?

00:42:19Sir,

00:42:19are you serious?

00:42:20You would just buy

00:42:21the entire brand

00:42:22for one dress?

00:42:24This brand is worth

00:42:25at least $50 million.

00:42:27And to buy it

00:42:28for a waitress?

00:42:30Are you out of your mind?

00:42:32Yes.

00:42:32You see,

00:42:33even if you had the money,

00:42:34they wouldn't sell it to you.

00:42:35Just one second.

00:42:39Yes,

00:42:40this is Brian Shepard,

00:42:41CEO of Shepard Group.

00:42:43I'd like to speak

00:42:43with your head

00:42:44of acquisitions.

00:42:46I'm interested

00:42:46in purchasing

00:42:47your high fashion brand.

00:42:51What?

00:42:54Sorry, sir.

00:42:55That brand

00:42:56is not for sale.

00:42:58You see,

00:42:59if we can't have it,

00:43:00neither can you.

00:43:01Mr. Yates,

00:43:05yes,

00:43:06this is Laura Lewis.

00:43:08I'm calling

00:43:09to discuss the sale

00:43:10of our high-end

00:43:11clothing brand

00:43:12to Shepard Group.

00:43:14Oh, come on.

00:43:16Calling the Lewis family,

00:43:17but we won't get you

00:43:18anywhere, sweetie.

00:43:19Exactly.

00:43:20Come on,

00:43:20this is pathetic.

00:43:21You really think

00:43:21this is going to work?

00:43:22It's sad.

00:43:23Excellent.

00:43:25Thank you,

00:43:26Mr. Yates.

00:43:26That's all.

00:43:26Yes?

00:43:37What?

00:43:39Are you willing

00:43:40to submit the brand?

00:43:43Awesome.

00:43:45Hello?

00:43:50Yes?

00:43:52Wow.

00:43:53Yes, of course.

00:43:54Absolutely.

00:43:58The store,

00:44:00along with the entire brand,

00:44:01has been sold

00:44:02to Mr. Shepard.

00:44:03The Shepard Group

00:44:04is the new owner.

00:44:05How may I be

00:44:06up serious today?

00:44:08Well, Laura,

00:44:09I don't know much

00:44:11about pressure.

00:44:12So I would like

00:44:12to give you

00:44:12this brand to you.

00:44:14You can't be serious.

00:44:16You don't have

00:44:17the kind of money

00:44:17to buy this store.

00:44:18Don't listen to her,

00:44:20Brian.

00:44:21You two,

00:44:22just go do whatever

00:44:23you do somewhere else.

00:44:24You're not welcome here.

00:44:26I want the two of these

00:44:27out of my store.

00:44:32I want the two of these

00:44:33out of my store.

00:44:35Of course.

00:44:38Oh, come on.

00:44:39Sir, ma'am,

00:44:40you're afraid

00:44:40I have to ask you to leave?

00:44:41Well, we're not leaving.

00:44:42Okay?

00:44:43Hey, hey, hey!

00:44:44This isn't over, Laura!

00:44:46Could I try

00:44:47the dress on now?

00:44:48Of course, Miss Lewis.

00:44:50You just follow me.

00:44:51Oh, I'm sorry.

00:44:56Miss Lewis,

00:45:01this dress really

00:45:01was made for you.

00:45:05Laura,

00:45:06you look

00:45:06breath-thick

00:45:07in this dress.

00:45:09Brian,

00:45:10why would you do

00:45:11all of this

00:45:13for me?

00:45:16Laura,

00:45:18because you deserve

00:45:19everything beautiful

00:45:20in the world.

00:45:22And that includes

00:45:24this dress.

00:45:27Will you give us

00:45:28a chance

00:45:29to see where

00:45:30things could go?

00:45:31I...

00:45:32I need a moment.

00:45:35Perhaps we could

00:45:36talk some more

00:45:37about this

00:45:37after the

00:45:38investment meeting?

00:45:40Does that mean

00:45:41it could be a yes?

00:45:43Maybe.

00:45:50Hi.

00:45:55Well, well, well, well.

00:46:05Look who decided

00:46:06to join the party.

00:46:07Playing dress-up again,

00:46:08Laura?

00:46:09One more

00:46:09disrespectful remark

00:46:10towards Laura,

00:46:11Miss Smith.

00:46:12And you understand

00:46:13the meaning of rude.

00:46:14You threatening

00:46:15my girlfriend

00:46:15in front of everyone

00:46:16for this?

00:46:18This gold digger?

00:46:19You know, Ben,

00:46:20I really cared

00:46:22about you,

00:46:23even after all

00:46:23the horrible things

00:46:24you said to me

00:46:25after our divorce.

00:46:26I knew the name

00:46:27of a great psychologist

00:46:28in New York.

00:46:30Maybe the shrinks

00:46:30in Maplewood

00:46:31aren't equipped

00:46:33to deal with

00:46:34your issues.

00:46:36Enough!

00:46:37I've had enough

00:46:37of this drama.

00:46:38Yeah, me too.

00:46:40Try that again,

00:46:41and you'll regret it.

00:46:43I'll get the hell

00:46:43on my face.

00:46:44Let's see if you two

00:46:46even make it

00:46:46past the door.

00:46:47Yeah.

00:46:50I'm sorry,

00:46:51Miss Smith,

00:46:51but your name's

00:46:52not on the guest list.

00:46:53What?

00:46:54That's impossible.

00:46:56I was invited

00:46:56by the CEO himself.

00:47:01Unfortunately,

00:47:01neither Harrison Group

00:47:02or Smith Group

00:47:03with names on the list.

00:47:05Looks like you two

00:47:06won't be getting let in

00:47:07after all.

00:47:09You don't have

00:47:10an invitation.

00:47:11You're just here

00:47:11because of Brian.

00:47:14Let me see this.

00:47:17This doesn't even

00:47:18look real.

00:47:19It's different from mine.

00:47:20Why don't you ask her

00:47:21if it's real?

00:47:25This appears to be

00:47:26a VIP invitation

00:47:27from the Vice President.

00:47:30Please, right this way.

00:47:31We can continue

00:47:32this discussion later.

00:47:34If you manage to get in.

00:47:39Sir, Madam,

00:47:41we recommend you leave.

00:47:42There you are!

00:47:46How dare you

00:47:47steal my fiancée!

00:47:50There you are!

00:47:52How dare you

00:47:52steal my fiancée!

00:47:54Looks like another

00:47:55relationship

00:47:55fights the dust, Laura.

00:47:57Looks like stealing men

00:47:59is a hobby of yours.

00:48:00Get away from him!

00:48:02He's engaged to me!

00:48:03Hey, hey, hey.

00:48:04Hold your horses, Glenn.

00:48:05That ended a long time ago.

00:48:08Engaged to you.

00:48:09Everyone in Maplewood

00:48:11knows what you did

00:48:12to Brian.

00:48:13Your relationship's history.

00:48:16That was just a little tiff.

00:48:17You really think

00:48:18that could tear us apart?

00:48:20Don't you know who I am?

00:48:23Don't pretend like

00:48:24you don't know.

00:48:25Oh, honey.

00:48:26She don't recognize royalty,

00:48:28let alone a duke.

00:48:29She's just a maid, remember?

00:48:31I don't have time

00:48:32for all this drama.

00:48:34Brian?

00:48:35Let's head inside.

00:48:38Brian!

00:48:39How could you choose

00:48:40this cleaner

00:48:41over me?

00:48:43Are you really gonna

00:48:44humiliate me

00:48:45in front of all of Maplewood?

00:48:46There's nothing left

00:48:47to say, Glenn.

00:48:48Don't make this a scene.

00:48:50Shall we?

00:48:57You okay, Miss Duke?

00:48:59And you are?

00:49:00Amber Smith.

00:49:02I'm the Maplewood branch

00:49:03manager of Lewis Group.

00:49:05What branch?

00:49:06I've never heard of it.

00:49:07What do you want from me?

00:49:08That Laura!

00:49:10She tore up my invitation.

00:49:12Do you think

00:49:12you can get me inside?

00:49:13What, your little manager title

00:49:15couldn't get you

00:49:15past the front door?

00:49:17Please don't waste my time.

00:49:19Oh my God!

00:49:32Oh my God!

00:49:35If I can't have Brian, neither can you.

00:49:54The Duke family has more influence than you think.

00:49:58Chloe, good to see you.

00:50:00I've been expecting you.

00:50:01Uncle Jones, how are you?

00:50:03Good.

00:50:05I need your help with something.

00:50:07What is it?

00:50:08Anything for my little Chloe.

00:50:10It's Brian.

00:50:12Who's that woman?

00:50:14I thought you were...

00:50:15She's a con woman.

00:50:17She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.

00:50:19What?

00:50:21Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?

00:50:26Well, she's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.

00:50:30What are you planning?

00:50:32I want to destroy Shepard Group.

00:50:35Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.

00:50:41I had no idea she would be so...

00:50:46intense.

00:50:48What do you mean?

00:50:50You so should have taken her up on her offer.

00:50:53I mean, you guys are just a power couple.

00:50:58I see what you're doing.

00:51:00Power couple, you say?

00:51:03More like a disaster waiting to happen.

00:51:07Anyway, shall we take a seat?

00:51:09Actually, Brian, my seat is...

00:51:13It's up there.

00:51:16Really?

00:51:18She doesn't deserve to sit there.

00:51:20Excuse me.

00:51:21This is my VIP invitation.

00:51:23I can sit wherever I like.

00:51:27Hey, what do you think you're doing?

00:51:28This is signed by all three VPs of Louis' group.

00:51:32Where did you get this?

00:51:34Who did you have to sleep with?

00:51:36That's enough.

00:51:39This is getting us nowhere.

00:51:41Laura is my guest.

00:51:43And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.

00:51:48Got it?

00:51:49Mr. Shepard, what do you see in that woman?

00:51:54Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.

00:51:56She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.

00:52:00What more could you ask for?

00:52:02That's a good question.

00:52:04Not much, actually.

00:52:07Honesty.

00:52:09That's what I want.

00:52:11And love.

00:52:12Things that are clearly...

00:52:14Chloe has no idea.

00:52:16I said I was sorry.

00:52:18What more do you want?

00:52:20I've watched Chloe grow up.

00:52:22She's like a daughter to me.

00:52:24I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.

00:52:30Anyway.

00:52:33One more chance, Brian.

00:52:35Let's forget all this nonsense.

00:52:37Do it, Mr. Shepard.

00:52:39Propose right here, right now.

00:52:43Brian?

00:52:44Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?

00:52:51By forcing a ring on someone?

00:52:54Do it.

00:52:55Or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.

00:53:03Don't you dare.

00:53:04You humiliate yourself.

00:53:07You humiliate yourself.

00:53:08Dare you?

00:53:09Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?

00:53:12Yes.

00:53:14I like her.

00:53:17But I can't imagine someone like her interested in me.

00:53:20The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.

00:53:28Why would you choose someone like her?

00:53:30I know.

00:53:31Exactly.

00:53:32This woman is trouble.

00:53:33She doesn't belong here.

00:53:35Throw her out.

00:53:36You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?

00:53:40Interesting turn of events.

00:53:43Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.

00:53:47Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress, Laura Lewis?

00:53:57You know what?

00:53:58Maybe you're right, Chloe.

00:54:00Ridiculous.

00:54:01Is that what you've been telling everyone?

00:54:03I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow, did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?

00:54:14You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.

00:54:17That's enough.

00:54:18You don't get to talk here.

00:54:20You got mad, Shepard.

00:54:21You dare to go against Miss Duke.

00:54:23And the same applies to everyone else here.

00:54:25Anyone who insults Laura.

00:54:28Leaves with a black eye.

00:54:30It's willing to offend the Duke for her.

00:54:31What kind of charm does she have?

00:54:34I want to be careful, Brian.

00:54:36Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.

00:54:39Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?

00:54:43The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not Shepard Group.

00:54:53Lewis Group RS, you?

00:54:56Don't make me laugh.

00:54:58Security, remove these two imposters from the premises.

00:55:03Wait, Uncle Jones.

00:55:04Give Brian another chance.

00:55:06Choose, Brian.

00:55:08Me and the future you deserve, or this fraud.

00:55:14Chloe, I have everything I ever wanted right here.

00:55:20And I wouldn't trade for all the power that Duke's home, mate.

00:55:22Fine.

00:55:30Short the stock of the Shepard Group.

00:55:31What?

00:55:34You forced my hand, Brian.

00:55:37Now Shepard Group is ruined.

00:55:38The Duke family, they can't be serious.

00:55:41Shepard Group is doomed.

00:55:43Brian, you don't have to do this for me.

00:55:46Laura, now we'll never let anyone bully you, let alone them.

00:55:53Thank you, Brian, for...

00:55:56For believing in me, for protecting me.

00:56:02Now it's my turn to protect you.

00:56:04Listen carefully.

00:56:13I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock at all costs.

00:56:18Don't let it drop even one cent.

00:56:23Do you understand?

00:56:24Wow.

00:56:26Award-winning performance, Laura.

00:56:28But you can't possibly control the stock market.

00:56:31Do you want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?

00:56:35If the Shepard stock holds for the next five minutes,

00:56:45you owe me a public apology.

00:56:52Do.

00:56:53Well, looks like your five minutes is up.

00:57:03Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.

00:57:09What the?

00:57:11The Shepard Group stock prices?

00:57:13It's going up!

00:57:15This can't be happening.

00:57:16It must be a coincidence.

00:57:17It's going up.

00:57:17Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?

00:57:26There was a huge investment.

00:57:28We couldn't compete.

00:57:29Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.

00:57:32How did you do this?

00:57:35Like I said, Chloe,

00:57:37I'm Laura Lewis.

00:57:41No, you're not.

00:57:42You're just some cleaner.

00:57:43You don't have access to billions.

00:57:45Well,

00:57:46I think it's time for my apology.

00:57:54No.

00:57:56I think it's time for my apology.

00:57:58There is no way I'm apologizing to you.

00:58:01If things were the other way,

00:58:02would you be so quick to forgive me?

00:58:05Chloe,

00:58:06the truth is

00:58:07everyone here

00:58:09has seen you be a bully

00:58:11and a coward

00:58:13and now

00:58:15a sore

00:58:17loser.

00:58:18This is so humiliating for her.

00:58:21How did she manage that?

00:58:23Maybe she really is a Lewis.

00:58:26Apologize to Miss Lewis.

00:58:28Shut up.

00:58:29Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.

00:58:32Don't forget,

00:58:33the Duke finally owned

00:58:34half of Maplewood.

00:58:35There you go, Miss Lewis.

00:58:37Let's get out of here.

00:58:40Hold on.

00:58:42This

00:58:42is where I belong.

00:58:45And that

00:58:46is my chair.

00:58:49You can't go there.

00:58:50That is the VIP section.

00:58:52Only those invited

00:58:53by the Lewis Group

00:58:54vice presidents

00:58:55get to sit there.

00:58:56Like I said,

00:58:58Chloe,

00:58:59that's my seat.

00:59:06I had a rumor floating

00:59:07around a few days ago.

00:59:09Seems Miss Lewis

00:59:10caused quite a scene

00:59:12at a signing ceremony

00:59:13between her ex

00:59:14and

00:59:15Mr. Shepard,

00:59:17wasn't it?

00:59:18Are you planning another

00:59:19outburst, Laura?

00:59:20Is this how you charm

00:59:21all your men?

00:59:22Shall we?

00:59:24My pleasure.

00:59:25What are you doing?

00:59:28Let go.

00:59:29It doesn't matter what happened.

00:59:31I choose to stay

00:59:31by Laura's side.

00:59:34Let's go.

00:59:36Don't be absurd.

00:59:37That seat is reserved

00:59:38for a very important guest.

00:59:41Someone so esteemed,

00:59:43even the vice presidents

00:59:44have to bow low.

00:59:47And

00:59:48how

00:59:50exactly,

00:59:51Mr. Jones?

00:59:52Are you so sure

00:59:54that I'm

00:59:55not that esteemed guest?

00:59:57Wait,

00:59:57that's Peter Young,

00:59:58Director of Business Affairs

00:59:59at Lewis Group.

01:00:04That's Peter Young.

01:00:06He decides

01:00:06which investors are there.

01:00:07It's Chloe Duke,

01:00:09Head of Duke Industries.

01:00:10So glad you could join us.

01:00:11Why is everyone

01:00:12standing around?

01:00:13It's her.

01:00:14She's making a huge scene

01:00:15trying to claim

01:00:16the VIP seat.

01:00:17It's embarrassing.

01:00:18That seat's reserved

01:00:20for the Lewis Group

01:00:20VIP guest.

01:00:22Specifically,

01:00:23the family heir.

01:00:24Please get off the stage.

01:00:27Oh, yes.

01:00:28Mr. Young?

01:00:30Was it?

01:00:30I think I remember you.

01:00:32You manage

01:00:33my family's investments.

01:00:36Don't pretend like

01:00:37you know what's going on.

01:00:39Please get off the stage.

01:00:40That seat's reserved

01:00:41for the Lewis family heir.

01:00:42I need to make

01:00:44one thing

01:00:44crystal clear.

01:00:50I

01:00:51am the heir

01:00:53of the Lewis family.

01:00:58This is ridiculous.

01:01:00You,

01:01:01the Lewis heir.

01:01:03Don't you know

01:01:03that Miss Lewis

01:01:04is a legend around here?

01:01:05You must be out of your mind

01:01:07trusting a complete

01:01:08stranger like this.

01:01:09Exactly.

01:01:10We ran a background

01:01:10check on her

01:01:11and it turns out

01:01:12she's just some cleaner

01:01:13that used to work

01:01:14for the Harrison Group.

01:01:16Before that,

01:01:17I could see her

01:01:17in my family's supermarket.

01:01:19See, Brian?

01:01:21This is who you've

01:01:21been chasing after.

01:01:23A liar and a cheat.

01:01:24Security.

01:01:25Get this imposter

01:01:26out of here.

01:01:27And everyone here

01:01:28is a witness.

01:01:29Why would any of you

01:01:31trust Laura?

01:01:32If any of you

01:01:33dares to harm her,

01:01:36you have to go

01:01:36through me first.

01:01:38Brian,

01:01:39she's just a nobody.

01:01:41She's just someone

01:01:42that the Harrison Group

01:01:43ditched.

01:01:44They didn't even want her.

01:01:46What exactly

01:01:47do you see in her?

01:01:48Escort this imposter

01:01:49out of here.

01:01:50Now.

01:01:51Oh, Peter.

01:01:52Peter.

01:02:00Peter,

01:02:00do you have any idea

01:02:02what you're doing?

01:02:04Mr. Yates,

01:02:05I'm so glad

01:02:06you could join us.

01:02:09Miss Lewis,

01:02:10sorry about the delay

01:02:11and for all the trouble

01:02:13you've had to put up with.

01:02:14It's no trouble,

01:02:16Mr. Yates.

01:02:17Luckily,

01:02:18I haven't been alone.

01:02:19I've had the great company

01:02:20of my very loyal

01:02:22friend.

01:02:25Wait a minute.

01:02:26She's Miss Lewis.

01:02:27Is this a joke?

01:02:29Mr. Young,

01:02:30you're new to the Lewis Group,

01:02:32so I can understand

01:02:34why you wouldn't recognize

01:02:35Miss Lewis.

01:02:36But she listened to lies

01:02:38without checking the facts

01:02:39and almost called the police.

01:02:43Tell me,

01:02:45Mr. Young,

01:02:46who put you up to this?

01:02:48Was it my uncle,

01:02:49Ian Lewis?

01:02:49I knew it.

01:02:57Consider this your

01:02:58termination.

01:03:01I get it now.

01:03:02This is all an act,

01:03:04right?

01:03:05Chloe,

01:03:05what are you doing?

01:03:06We still want to work

01:03:06with the Lewis family.

01:03:07Work with them?

01:03:08Are you blind?

01:03:09This woman is clearly

01:03:10having an affair

01:03:11with this old man.

01:03:13That's enough,

01:03:13young lady.

01:03:14You've got no right

01:03:16to disrespect the head

01:03:16of the Lewis Group.

01:03:17Oh, Chloe.

01:03:21I can't believe

01:03:21we're going through

01:03:22this again.

01:03:23I think you need

01:03:24some professional help.

01:03:27Maybe I could make you

01:03:27an appointment

01:03:28with a great psychiatrist.

01:03:29Chloe,

01:03:30that's enough.

01:03:31It is ridiculous.

01:03:32If you were really

01:03:33the Lewis family heir,

01:03:34you would have the ring.

01:03:35So why don't you

01:03:36show it to everyone?

01:03:37Show us the ring!

01:03:42Why don't you

01:03:42show that to everyone?

01:03:44Show us the ring!

01:03:46Show us the ring!

01:03:46Who?

01:03:47are you

01:03:48to make demands

01:03:49of me?

01:03:50I don't answer

01:03:51to anyone

01:03:51but myself.

01:03:54I don't need

01:03:55any

01:03:56of your validation.

01:04:00There's a ring!

01:04:05Vice Presidents!

01:04:06I'm Chloe Duke

01:04:08of the Jude family.

01:04:09This woman

01:04:09is an imposter!

01:04:11Miss Lewis,

01:04:12we apologise

01:04:13for the delay.

01:04:14How could you

01:04:15just let that con woman

01:04:16sit there?

01:04:17Get her out of here!

01:04:18This seat was always

01:04:19for Miss Lewis.

01:04:21She's the special guest

01:04:23we've been waiting for.

01:04:25The investment queen.

01:04:27The real heir

01:04:28to Lewis Group.

01:04:30Laura Lewis!

01:04:31She was a divorced

01:04:32host wife.

01:04:33A janitor.

01:04:34How can she?

01:04:35She can't be.

01:04:35It's a lie.

01:04:36I'm telling you.

01:04:37It's a lie.

01:04:38Do you think we'd lie?

01:04:39We've run

01:04:41Lewis Group.

01:04:42Oh,

01:04:43Chloe,

01:04:44you assaulted me

01:04:45earlier

01:04:46and you came

01:04:48to this meeting

01:04:49to what?

01:04:50Sabotage it.

01:04:52You'll be hearing

01:04:53from our legal team.

01:04:57This is true,

01:04:58Miss Duke.

01:04:59Did you try

01:04:59and sabotage

01:05:00this meeting?

01:05:01Yes,

01:05:03it's all true.

01:05:04She fooled us all.

01:05:06The Duke's tricked us

01:05:07to keep

01:05:07Lewis Group

01:05:08out of Maplewood

01:05:10and control

01:05:10everything themselves.

01:05:12I had no idea.

01:05:13But I'm on your side.

01:05:15I can give you

01:05:17everything you need.

01:05:18All the resources

01:05:19in Maplewood.

01:05:20Miss Lewis,

01:05:21how would you like us

01:05:22to deal with this?

01:05:24An eye

01:05:25for an eye.

01:05:27Since

01:05:29Miss Duke

01:05:31here

01:05:32loves

01:05:33ruining things,

01:05:35I'll target

01:05:36her precious

01:05:37Duke

01:05:38Industries.

01:05:40I want them

01:05:41bankrupt

01:05:41in ten minutes.

01:05:43You're bluffing.

01:05:45You're nobody.

01:05:46You'll always

01:05:47be a nobody

01:05:48and you can't

01:05:48touch me.

01:05:50Then

01:05:50consider this

01:05:51a test,

01:05:53Chloe.

01:05:54I didn't need

01:05:55my family's support

01:05:56with Shepard

01:05:56and I certainly

01:05:57don't need it now.

01:05:58Chloe,

01:05:59you dug

01:06:00your own grave.

01:06:02You think

01:06:02you can destroy

01:06:03Maplewood's

01:06:04leading family

01:06:05with just

01:06:05the Shepard Group?

01:06:07Please.

01:06:10We'll see.

01:06:16Dad?

01:06:18Slow down.

01:06:19What are you

01:06:19talking about?

01:06:21No.

01:06:23It's impossible.

01:06:25Chloe,

01:06:26what have you done?

01:06:27What have you done?

01:06:28Years of hard work.

01:06:29Destroyed in minutes.

01:06:34What did you do?

01:06:36Well,

01:06:37Chloe,

01:06:39isn't this what you wanted?

01:06:41To give me a little

01:06:42taste of destruction?

01:06:44This is impossible.

01:06:46It's impossible!

01:06:48Chloe,

01:06:49what have you done?

01:06:50The news is everywhere.

01:06:52Shepard's launched

01:06:53to full-scale assault

01:06:54on the stock market.

01:06:56They're hammering

01:06:56our shares!

01:06:57Are you sure

01:06:59it's just Shepard?

01:07:00Yes!

01:07:01Shareholders

01:07:01are dumping

01:07:02our stock

01:07:03like it's a hot potato.

01:07:05We could go

01:07:05bankrupt.

01:07:06You've ruined everything!

01:07:08Don't worry,

01:07:08Mr. Duke.

01:07:09When your company

01:07:11does go bankrupt,

01:07:12I'll buy it.

01:07:13At a fire sale price.

01:07:15Your employees

01:07:16won't even be affected.

01:07:16Brilliant!

01:07:18A master's job,

01:07:19Ms. Lois.

01:07:21Now,

01:07:22this

01:07:23is my event.

01:07:25Please leave.

01:07:27Brian,

01:07:27I did this for us!

01:07:29Everything I did,

01:07:30I did for us,

01:07:31Brian!

01:07:33Chloe,

01:07:34you need help.

01:07:37These feelings

01:07:37you have for me,

01:07:39it's not love.

01:07:41It's obsession.

01:07:43Enough!

01:07:44If you don't want

01:07:45to ruin everything

01:07:46completely,

01:07:47you'll come with me

01:07:47right now.

01:07:50Laura.

01:07:51Right now.

01:07:54Laura!

01:08:00Laura!

01:08:01This isn't over!

01:08:02You're scared of me!

01:08:04What is it?

01:08:05What?

01:08:06You hear me?

01:08:09What is going on here?

01:08:11Did they finally

01:08:11expose Laura's lies?

01:08:13Shepard Group.

01:08:14They're the new partner

01:08:15that's partnering up

01:08:16with Lewis Group

01:08:17from Maplewood.

01:08:18They're handling

01:08:19all future construction

01:08:19projects.

01:08:20That can't be!

01:08:22What about us?

01:08:23That was our project!

01:08:24Remember,

01:08:25Laura teamed up

01:08:25with Brian.

01:08:27Harrison Group

01:08:27is practically out.

01:08:29We have no chance.

01:08:30We can't give up

01:08:31that easily.

01:08:32Remember,

01:08:33Ian Lewis himself

01:08:34appointed me

01:08:34as general manager.

01:08:36In a few days,

01:08:37he promised that

01:08:37he would let us

01:08:38meet with a new heir.

01:08:39You're right.

01:08:40If we can just

01:08:41meet with a new heir,

01:08:42we can bypass

01:08:43the Shepards

01:08:43and meet directly

01:08:44with the Lewis Group.

01:08:46We just have to

01:08:47play their little game

01:08:48and see who comes

01:08:48out on top.

01:08:50That's right.

01:08:51Vice Presidents,

01:08:56allow me to introduce

01:08:58my associate,

01:08:59Brian Shepard.

01:09:00I'm sure

01:09:01I've met you in the book.

01:09:02Mr. Shepard,

01:09:04it's finally a pleasure

01:09:04to meet you.

01:09:05We've looked into

01:09:06your company's

01:09:07financial review.

01:09:09Very impressive.

01:09:12Thank you, bud.

01:09:13A large part of that

01:09:14success

01:09:15is thanks to Ms. Lewis.

01:09:16She practically

01:09:18saved me

01:09:19from disaster

01:09:20three times over now.

01:09:22Brian,

01:09:22you can just

01:09:22call me Laura.

01:09:24Ms. Lewis'

01:09:26recommendation

01:09:26is very telling,

01:09:28Mr. Shepard.

01:09:29Perhaps today

01:09:30clarifies everything.

01:09:32Mr. Shepard,

01:09:33this opportunity

01:09:34is gone.

01:09:36Seize it.

01:09:37A woman like Laura

01:09:38is not easy to find.

01:09:41Thank you

01:09:41for your kind words,

01:09:42Mr. Vice President.

01:09:43Did Laura send you

01:09:52to kill me?

01:09:53Laura?

01:09:54Hardly.

01:09:56I'm Ian Lewis,

01:09:57CEO and rightful heir

01:09:59of the Lewis Group.

01:10:02So you're Laura's uncle?

01:10:04In the flesh.

01:10:07So Laura really is

01:10:08your niece?

01:10:09Yes,

01:10:10little Laura.

01:10:11She just threw away

01:10:13her birthright

01:10:13about two,

01:10:15three years ago.

01:10:16Ran off and married

01:10:17a nobody

01:10:17from Maplewood.

01:10:19I think he was

01:10:19a Harrison.

01:10:21Now Laura's got

01:10:21the VPs

01:10:22and Mr. Yates

01:10:23on her side.

01:10:24Did you hear

01:10:24she's throwing a banquet

01:10:25in a few days

01:10:26to announce

01:10:26her official takeover?

01:10:28And we can't

01:10:29let that happen,

01:10:30can we, my dear?

01:10:31If you're Ian Lewis,

01:10:33wouldn't you have

01:10:34the family ring?

01:10:34Well, my dear,

01:10:36that's where you come in,

01:10:37Miss Duke.

01:10:38We need you

01:10:38to relinquish my ring.

01:10:40What if I,

01:10:43what if I fail?

01:10:44My family is already

01:10:45ruined.

01:10:46Yes, you are

01:10:47in a spot of bother,

01:10:48I must say.

01:10:49But,

01:10:50if successful,

01:10:51I guarantee

01:10:52that you

01:10:52and the Duke family

01:10:54will get back

01:10:55everything you've lost.

01:10:57Laura's got the VPs

01:10:58and Brian on her side.

01:10:59How can I possibly

01:11:00get the ring?

01:11:01There is a way,

01:11:02you know,

01:11:03that we can make

01:11:04Laura relinquish

01:11:06and give up

01:11:07that ring

01:11:08willingly.

01:11:11Laura,

01:11:11my dear,

01:11:12welcome.

01:11:13Uncle Ian,

01:11:14it's so good

01:11:15to see you.

01:11:20Laura.

01:11:21It's so good

01:11:21to see you.

01:11:22And you,

01:11:23it's been

01:11:23too long,

01:11:25two,

01:11:26three years perhaps.

01:11:27How have you been?

01:11:28I've been well,

01:11:29Uncle Ian.

01:11:31Thank you for asking.

01:11:33I see

01:11:33you've been busy

01:11:34keeping Lewis Group

01:11:35afloat.

01:11:36Yes.

01:11:37Kind of been easy.

01:11:38Indeed.

01:11:39Somebody had to.

01:11:40I mean,

01:11:40after you left me

01:11:41with everything to do,

01:11:43without a safe

01:11:44pair of hands,

01:11:44I hate to think

01:11:45what would have

01:11:45happened to the company.

01:11:47Actually,

01:11:48Uncle Ian,

01:11:49from what I've heard,

01:11:51you've lost billions

01:11:52with some

01:11:53questionable

01:11:54investment decisions.

01:11:56Yes.

01:11:57Minor mistakes.

01:11:58Minor.

01:11:59Don't worry,

01:12:00Uncle Ian.

01:12:00I won't hold it

01:12:01against you.

01:12:02Oh.

01:12:03Good.

01:12:04Well,

01:12:05cheers to you

01:12:06coming back here

01:12:07and the Lewis Group.

01:12:11Oh.

01:12:12I'm so sorry,

01:12:14Laura.

01:12:14How clumsy of me.

01:12:16Uh,

01:12:16no,

01:12:17no worries,

01:12:17Uncle Ian.

01:12:18I,

01:12:19I'll just go

01:12:20to the restroom

01:12:21and get cleaned up.

01:12:22Of course.

01:12:24Right away,

01:12:25just down to the left.

01:12:31Use it wisely.

01:12:33me.

01:12:34Oh,

01:12:34I will.

01:12:49Hey,

01:12:50Laura.

01:12:50How's that?

01:12:52Hello,

01:12:52Brian.

01:12:53Your little girlfriend

01:12:54is with me now.

01:12:55Chloe,

01:12:55how in the hell

01:12:58did you get

01:12:58Laura's phone?

01:12:59Let's just say

01:13:00that I have my ways.

01:13:02Listen,

01:13:03Chloe,

01:13:04don't hurt her.

01:13:06Please,

01:13:07I'll do anything.

01:13:09Come to the abandoned warehouse

01:13:12in the eastern suburbs

01:13:13now.

01:13:16Don't tell anyone

01:13:17if you want her alive.

01:13:21Well,

01:13:21you certainly do

01:13:22have your ways.

01:13:23Oh,

01:13:27thank goodness

01:13:28you've cleared up.

01:13:29I am sorry.

01:13:29How clumsy.

01:13:31And don't forget

01:13:31your phone.

01:13:32I retrieved it for you.

01:13:34Oh,

01:13:34lovely to see you again.

01:13:36Yeah.

01:13:37I guess

01:13:37I'll see you the

01:14:37for that tram

01:14:37and destroyed my life!

01:14:39That's not true.

01:14:40You were the one

01:14:41who messed up!

01:14:42Brian!

01:14:43Laura!

01:14:45Stay where you are.

01:14:47You better

01:14:48come alone.

01:14:50Shut this knife,

01:14:51Chloe.

01:14:52This is insane!

01:14:53Insane?

01:14:54I did this for us,

01:14:56Brian!

01:14:57We were meant

01:14:58to be together.

01:15:00Us?

01:15:01You've gone crazy

01:15:02and you're out of here.

01:15:03Chloe,

01:15:05kidnapping

01:15:05is a very

01:15:07serious event.

01:15:08They're going to

01:15:08lock you up

01:15:09for years!

01:15:10You think I care

01:15:11about jail time?

01:15:13All I care about

01:15:14is tearing you

01:15:15to the part.

01:15:16I don't deserve him.

01:15:18What have you done?

01:15:20You've destroyed

01:15:21my life!

01:15:22My company,

01:15:23everything!

01:15:25Now I'm going

01:15:25to destroy your life.

01:15:28Forgive me.

01:15:29The family ring now.

01:15:30Give it to me!

01:15:31This is about

01:15:32the ring.

01:15:34Did my uncle Ian

01:15:35put you up to this?

01:15:36You know,

01:15:38Chloe,

01:15:39trying to kill me,

01:15:41that's foolish.

01:15:44Because who do you

01:15:45think is going to win?

01:15:47You,

01:15:48that little knife,

01:15:49or

01:15:49me,

01:15:53something a little

01:15:53bit more persuasive.

01:15:54don't move anyone.

01:16:07Don't move.

01:16:09You're about to be

01:16:10arrested for kidnapping.

01:16:12Miss Lewis,

01:16:13having fun without me?

01:16:15I'm hurt.

01:16:17Are you hurt?

01:16:20No,

01:16:21I'm okay.

01:16:24Tell me,

01:16:25Chloe,

01:16:25who put you

01:16:28up to this,

01:16:29Chloe?

01:16:29Why should I tell you?

01:16:31You're going to kill me

01:16:32anyway.

01:16:34Chloe,

01:16:34I don't have a problem

01:16:35with you.

01:16:36But if you

01:16:37don't talk,

01:16:39your beloved

01:16:40Duke Industries

01:16:41might run into some.

01:16:43Well,

01:16:44I'm recording

01:23:00I'm just a

01:23:01cleaner, remember?

01:23:02I'm just a

01:23:03useless housewife.

01:23:05I don't have

01:23:05that power.

01:23:08What are you

01:23:08talking about?

01:23:09What?
