00:00:01Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:07What the hell is going on here?
00:00:10Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:13Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do.
00:00:17Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:21They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:25Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:30Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunchtime.
00:00:41Hey, this is a private station.
00:00:43Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:00:47Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.
00:00:54But losing your cool over a little market turbulence?
00:00:59That seems out of character for you.
00:01:02Do I know you?
00:01:05Wait, what are you doing?
00:01:09What are you doing?
00:01:10You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.
00:01:12You can't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:14This is incredible!
00:01:17What's going on?
00:01:18The turning attempt.
00:01:20It's failing!
00:01:21The price is holding!
00:01:23Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:30We met before.
00:01:32They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:34Hold on.
00:01:35Tell me, how could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:39If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:48Jason?
00:01:49Can we have five now?
00:01:50Mr. Yates?
00:01:51What?
00:01:52Only two bodyguards this time?
00:01:53You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:01:54No, ma'am.
00:01:55I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:01:56Now, listen.
00:01:57Everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:01:58Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:18Now, listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Laws Group.
00:02:22Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:26Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:32Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:38Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:42Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:02:47Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house. For my sake.
00:03:03Divorce papers, sign it.
00:03:12Why?
00:03:13You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:16The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract at the Shepard Group.
00:03:24And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:03:28The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time. I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:33I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:37Oh, you, a cleaning woman, handing out million-dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.
00:03:44I did. It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:50I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:54What are you doing here?
00:03:56Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:00Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:04Local royalty.
00:04:06A small-town rich person is royalty.
00:04:08And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:04:11Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it, Ben?
00:04:19What's going on?
00:04:21Is this why you want a divorce?
00:04:23Because of her?
00:04:24Oh, please.
00:04:25I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:04:28You're still a cleaner.
00:04:29We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:31Grown apart?
00:04:33No.
00:04:36No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:41I won't sign.
00:04:45Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:48Ben.
00:04:50All right.
00:04:51Here, $100,000.
00:04:53Open up a small shop or something else.
00:04:56$100,000.
00:04:57I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:03Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:06Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:08You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:11This is our active charity tool.
00:05:13Here.
00:05:14A million dollars.
00:05:15Take this.
00:05:16You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:18Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:21I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this since none of you respect me.
00:05:32A cleaning lady threatening us.
00:05:34I'm so scared.
00:05:37Just leave.
00:05:38You already make this house stink.
00:05:47Thank God she's gone.
00:05:48Go to written store.
00:05:51Sir, Laura Lewis' information.
00:05:59She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:06:02No wonder why she wanted us to partner with him.
00:06:04Actually, sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:07Divorced her?
00:06:10Wait a minute.
00:06:12Don't you remember?
00:06:13She's the one who helped us with a suite of contracts three years ago.
00:06:18Yeah.
00:06:18She's saved our hiding, yeah.
00:06:20Remember?
00:06:22Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:27I don't know.
00:06:28Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:06:34Hey, what are you doing?
00:06:36Let go of me!
00:06:37You attacked Amber.
00:06:38Apologize this instant.
00:06:43Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:45We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:06:47You refused it.
00:06:47And now you're stealing.
00:06:49She couldn't afford it.
00:06:51You're a thief.
00:06:51That's mine.
00:06:59Give it back!
00:07:00That's enough!
00:07:03Laura?
00:07:05I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:08It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:15You see, it's...
00:07:16Who are you?
00:07:17Laura's new squeeze.
00:07:19Excuse me.
00:07:20Do you know who I am?
00:07:21Is this true?
00:07:22You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:07:25Shame on you!
00:07:26Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:27For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:07:30I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:33Oh, please.
00:07:34A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be called dead with a cleaner.
00:07:37You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:40That's really interesting, considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:45That's ridiculous.
00:07:47He doesn't look like that.
00:07:49My ring.
00:07:50Jason, give it back to Miss Lewis.
00:07:51Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:56Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:07:58Now.
00:07:58Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:08:00Who the heck is this man?
00:08:01Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:03It's all right, ma'am.
00:08:05This is none of your business.
00:08:06All brown dead bodies.
00:08:08You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.
00:08:11We are the Harrisons.
00:08:13You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:15Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:08:18Now go back.
00:08:18What?
00:08:19Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:08:22That's a lie.
00:08:23Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.
00:08:24You come back here and explain yourself.
00:08:26Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.
00:08:31Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the $100 million deal?
00:08:37Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:41I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:45After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:48No, um, no.
00:08:51The event will proceed.
00:08:53Besides, I'll be there.
00:08:58There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:02Who are you, truly?
00:09:04You'll find out.
00:09:04Mr. Shepard.
00:09:07Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:13Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're going
00:09:21to have a meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today.
00:09:24Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:31Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:37Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:09:38I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:41Ben Harrison, you're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:48After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:09:59Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:03Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:05Security, get that woman out of here.
00:10:08We don't need cleaners at this event.
00:10:10Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:12This is a business event, after all.
00:10:15Business?
00:10:16You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:10:18A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:10:21Just get out.
00:10:23Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:26You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:28Oh, Ben, do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:33Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:35Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:36You don't belong here.
00:10:39Just get out!
00:10:45That's what you get.
00:10:48This contract is mine to give or take away as I see fit.
00:10:58Don't be ridiculous.
00:10:59This is insane.
00:11:00Who do you think you are?
00:11:02Yeah, put that down.
00:11:02You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:04Security?
00:11:05She's lost a mind.
00:11:07This is a disaster.
00:11:08Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't
00:11:15deserve it, you really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:33You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:45You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:46Oh, please, honey.
00:11:48You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:50Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:53I was the one that started this deal with the shepherds, and after careful consideration,
00:12:00I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the shepherds.
00:12:05You really think that the shepherd group and I could be torn up by something that you've
00:12:09done?
00:12:10You have no authority here.
00:12:11Of course, she has the authority.
00:12:20That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:12:23What is he doing here?
00:12:24Mr. Shepard?
00:12:24How does he know her?
00:12:25Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:28Laura, are you all right?
00:12:32Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.
00:12:35There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:37There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:39This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.
00:12:44Effective immediately.
00:12:47Wait a minute.
00:12:48This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:50It's her.
00:12:51She ruined the contract.
00:12:53You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:55An affair?
00:12:56She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:13:00Mom, please, it's okay.
00:13:02This man is...
00:13:03Don't touch me.
00:13:05That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone,
00:13:07has an affair, and you just stand there?
00:13:09You're a disgrace.
00:13:11An adulterer.
00:13:12You deserve to be around.
00:13:13Shut up.
00:13:16Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess,
00:13:19but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:13:22Tricked?
00:13:24Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?
00:13:27What was my name before we got married?
00:13:32Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:34Lewis Group?
00:13:35The Financial Giants?
00:13:37There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:42That's crazy.
00:13:43There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:46That's absurd.
00:13:47It's...
00:13:48It's...
00:13:49It's absurd!
00:13:51A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:13:55Yeah.
00:13:55Yeah, it's a lie.
00:13:57It's a lie.
00:13:57This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:13:59In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:14:03She's nothing special.
00:14:04She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:06I was just a waitress.
00:14:09How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:11First time I met her,
00:14:13she was indeed a waitress at the diner.
00:14:15Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:14:16When I met her,
00:14:18I'd only just started my business.
00:14:19Now look at me.
00:14:21I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:24Look at her.
00:14:25Still just a clear.
00:14:26Mr. Shepard,
00:14:27that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:30She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:33She's lying, Mr. Shepard.
00:14:34She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:40Let's make something clear.
00:14:42I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:45I used my resources to help my ex-husband,
00:14:51but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:52Don't lie.
00:14:54You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:14:57Oops.
00:14:58That roof was built with lies.
00:15:01Kathy, you never respected me.
00:15:03And Ben?
00:15:05Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:08And the cheating.
00:15:09I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:15:14You were not good enough for Ben then,
00:15:15and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:15:18If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story,
00:15:22then the truth.
00:15:23Kathy, consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:27From everything.
00:15:33Wait, wait, wait.
00:15:34Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know,
00:15:36ruin everything?
00:15:37And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:39I don't think so.
00:15:40You're a cleaner.
00:15:41You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:43Nobody cares about you.
00:15:45Cleaning toilets or not,
00:15:46at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:50I don't need a fancy title
00:15:52or a rich husband to feel important.
00:15:58Now, I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:16:01I think all jobs are important.
00:16:02Right, Mom?
00:16:03Ben, what are you doing?
00:16:05But I don't think that a janitor
00:16:08should have some sort of influence
00:16:09over a deal as big as this.
00:16:11A janitor.
00:16:12Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith
00:16:15exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:21You did claim to have been the one
00:16:23that secured the deal,
00:16:25weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:27Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:16:28This woman, Laura,
00:16:31she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:34I...
00:16:35But, well...
00:16:36A lie, you're saying.
00:16:37Miss Smith,
00:16:38I believe you mentioned securing this contract
00:16:40for Harrison Group.
00:16:41But I don't recognize you.
00:16:43Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:47Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:50This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:55But the contract...
00:16:56I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:16:58So can't we just print another one
00:17:00and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:03We're printed, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:05Perhaps you haven't been paying attention
00:17:07without Miss Lewis involvement.
00:17:10I wouldn't even consider
00:17:11partnering with your company.
00:17:13Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:19Shepard Group has no plans
00:17:21to partner with Harrison Group
00:17:22in the future.
00:17:26Miss Smith, you lied to us.
00:17:28You destroyed everything.
00:17:30What?
00:17:31No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:17:33I can explain.
00:17:35Lewis?
00:17:36Lewis Family Group?
00:17:37This can't be.
00:17:39Believe what you want, Beth.
00:17:40Lewis Group will be holding
00:17:43a massive investment meeting
00:17:45later this week.
00:17:46Three of our vice presidents
00:17:49will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:51And I'm sure you can ask them
00:17:52if you still have any doubts
00:17:54about who I am.
00:17:58Everyone, listen to me.
00:18:00Shepard Group will not be partnered
00:18:02with Harrison Group.
00:18:04A man who can keep his vows to his wife
00:18:07cannot be trusted
00:18:08to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:11The survey is sober, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:14Everyone here deserves to see this room.
00:18:18Miss Lewis,
00:18:20shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:28Help!
00:18:30Mom!
00:18:30Someone get a doctor!
00:18:32Mom!
00:18:32It seems your night has taken
00:18:35quite the turn,
00:18:36Mr. Shepard.
00:18:38Indeed.
00:18:40Perhaps it's best to live them to it.
00:18:53What?
00:18:54What now?
00:18:55Mom,
00:18:56this is not all on me.
00:18:58Not on you!
00:18:59I was trying to help.
00:19:02She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:19:04Loans at their affair.
00:19:05Exactly.
00:19:06And those dresses?
00:19:08Who could afford those
00:19:09on a janitor's salary?
00:19:11Miss Smith,
00:19:12how could you do this?
00:19:13We trusted you completely.
00:19:16No, no.
00:19:17I got Ben the deal.
00:19:19I had no idea Shepard
00:19:20would call for Borov.
00:19:22She's a liar.
00:19:24Oh, stop it, Amber.
00:19:25You lied to us
00:19:26just as much as she did.
00:19:27You lied!
00:19:29You're on my side!
00:19:31And anyways,
00:19:32I have a plan.
00:19:33The Shepards
00:19:34are no one special.
00:19:36We can expose Laura
00:19:37and all her lies.
00:19:38Go national.
00:19:39We can make ourselves
00:19:40a household name.
00:19:43Now,
00:19:44if you'll excuse me,
00:19:45I have a very important phone call to you.
00:19:47Thank you so much for tonight,
00:19:55Mr. Shepard.
00:19:55Thank you as well
00:19:56for standing up for me.
00:19:58It's all right, Laura.
00:19:59You deserve the credit
00:20:00for all your hard work.
00:20:01Can I ask you something?
00:20:03Do you have any place
00:20:03to stay tonight?
00:20:05Maybe a hotel?
00:20:06Don't,
00:20:06don't worry about me,
00:20:08Mr. Shepard.
00:20:08I'll be fine.
00:20:10Um,
00:20:11excuse me,
00:20:11you can just drop me off.
00:20:12Actually, Laura,
00:20:13actually,
00:20:14Laura,
00:20:15there is something else.
00:20:17Would you consider
00:20:17going off for dinner sometime?
00:20:19Just casually,
00:20:20of course.
00:20:21Mr. Shepard,
00:20:22are you asking me out?
00:20:25Please,
00:20:26call me Brian.
00:20:28And yes,
00:20:30technically,
00:20:31you're single now.
00:20:33Yes,
00:20:34that may be true,
00:20:35but, um,
00:20:36going out with
00:20:36a newly divorced
00:20:38ex-cleaner
00:20:39isn't exactly
00:20:40proper.
00:20:42Proper?
00:20:45Laura,
00:20:47I don't give a damn
00:20:48about appearances.
00:20:49Tonight,
00:20:50I saw your intelligence
00:20:52and your strength.
00:20:54Those are qualities
00:20:55I truly admire.
00:20:57So what do you say?
00:20:59Dinner?
00:21:01Just two people
00:21:02getting to know each other.
00:21:07I'm sorry,
00:21:08Mr. Shepard,
00:21:09I actually have
00:21:09another appointment
00:21:10tonight,
00:21:11so I can't.
00:21:12Wait, Laura?
00:21:13Just here is fine.
00:21:17Laura?
00:21:23Laura?
00:21:23Who is it?
00:21:25Laura, wait!
00:21:27Jason,
00:21:28find out
00:21:28who owns that car
00:21:29and do it fast.
00:21:39Ian Lewis?
00:21:40Who is this?
00:21:41It's Amber Smith.
00:21:43Mr. Lewis?
00:21:44I'm sorry for the late call,
00:21:46but I believe
00:21:47I have some urgent information
00:21:48about your family.
00:21:49I don't know who you are,
00:21:51Miss Smith.
00:21:52How did you get this number?
00:21:54Don't worry about that right now.
00:21:56I believe I know someone
00:21:57impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:21:59Someone I know very well.
00:22:02Impersonating my niece?
00:22:05And where is this fake Laura?
00:22:08Right here in Maplewood.
00:22:10And let me tell you,
00:22:11she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:13Well,
00:22:14what is she doing exactly?
00:22:17And more to the point,
00:22:19what do you want from me?
00:22:22In the next few days,
00:22:23the Lewis Group
00:22:24will hold an investment meeting,
00:22:25right?
00:22:25I want to meet with
00:22:28the Vice Presidents.
00:22:29All will be revealed then.
00:22:31Very well.
00:22:33I'll have my secretary
00:22:34arrange a meeting.
00:22:36But be warned,
00:22:37if this is a waste of my time,
00:22:38I...
00:22:39It won't be.
00:22:40Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:22:42Thank you, Mr.
00:22:48That little rascal, Laura.
00:22:52I wonder what she's up to now.
00:22:54That car belongs to Mr. Yeats,
00:23:00the Lewis family bubler.
00:23:02Oh.
00:23:04Lewis family?
00:23:06That's interesting.
00:23:08Could she be connected
00:23:09to them somehow?
00:23:11I'm not sure.
00:23:14Brian!
00:23:15There you are.
00:23:17I've missed you.
00:23:18Chloe.
00:23:20What are you up to?
00:23:21Chloe,
00:23:21what are you doing here?
00:23:23What do you mean?
00:23:25Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:27We ended things for a reason.
00:23:29It was just one teensy mistake.
00:23:32I was...
00:23:32I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:34Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:36Teensy mistake, you say?
00:23:37You cheated on me.
00:23:43Is this your new fling?
00:23:45Ex-divorcey.
00:23:47Used to clean floor.
00:23:49It's quite the catch,
00:23:49you say.
00:23:50Look,
00:23:51my relationship with her
00:23:53is none of your business.
00:23:55And don't you dare
00:23:56talk about her like that.
00:23:58Please.
00:24:00An ex-cleaner turned social climber
00:24:02latching onto a wealthy businessman?
00:24:05It's a classic story.
00:24:06That's enough.
00:24:07I've got the hell out of my office.
00:24:09You want to be careful, Brian.
00:24:11Duke Industries still holds
00:24:12a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:14If you want Shepard Group
00:24:16to stay afloat,
00:24:17you ought to be more careful.
00:24:22Seems like you've got more
00:24:23on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:31This is it.
00:24:32The Lewis Group Vice Presidents
00:24:34are on the top floor.
00:24:35Once I'm done speaking with them,
00:24:37I'll have Ben's company
00:24:38rolling in business investments.
00:24:40I'll go speak with them first
00:24:42and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:44Well, well, well.
00:24:46Look who it is.
00:24:47What a surprise.
00:24:49Did Brian teach you already?
00:24:51That's none of your business.
00:24:54Now, move aside, please.
00:24:55Laura,
00:24:56just what do you think
00:24:57you're doing,
00:24:58you street rat?
00:24:59You really think
00:25:00you can just ruin my events again?
00:25:01Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:25:02Don't you have any shame?
00:25:04If you'll excuse me,
00:25:05I have an important meeting
00:25:07to get to.
00:25:07Oh, the nurse.
00:25:09After everything you've done,
00:25:10you think you can just
00:25:11waltz in here
00:25:12and manipulate them too?
00:25:14Seriously?
00:25:15I think you need to reconsider
00:25:17exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:20Oh, that's gold.
00:25:21You really think
00:25:22that they're going to let you in, Laura?
00:25:24Please,
00:25:25you're no one compared to me.
00:25:26You don't deserve to be here.
00:25:28The only ones
00:25:29who don't belong here
00:25:31are you three.
00:25:33And you,
00:25:34idiot,
00:25:35believing every lie
00:25:36that she tells you,
00:25:37wake up, Ben.
00:25:39Oh, Laura.
00:25:40Laura, come on.
00:25:41Why do you always
00:25:42pull this on me?
00:25:43I mean, seriously,
00:25:44can't you just let me
00:25:45enjoy one of my events
00:25:46for once?
00:25:47I know what this is.
00:25:49So stupid.
00:25:51Oh,
00:25:51shut your trap.
00:25:53Amber spoke directly
00:25:54with the CEO.
00:25:56He invited her
00:25:56to meet with the VPs
00:25:57before the main meeting.
00:25:59Yeah,
00:26:00Amber got me
00:26:00a partnership
00:26:01with the Lewis Group.
00:26:02And unlike some people,
00:26:04I have a real invitation.
00:26:06Well,
00:26:07before you all
00:26:09start celebrating,
00:26:11why don't you
00:26:11take a look
00:26:12at this?
00:26:18Oh,
00:26:18that's rich.
00:26:19You may have
00:26:20Brian Shepard fooled,
00:26:21but you can't fool me.
00:26:22I spoke to
00:26:23Ian Lewis himself,
00:26:25CEO of Lewis Group.
00:26:26Speaking of Brian,
00:26:28where is he right now?
00:26:29You mean
00:26:30my uncle?
00:26:33Ian,
00:26:33don't be ridiculous.
00:26:35Yeah.
00:26:35Ian Lewis
00:26:36personally gave me
00:26:37this invitation himself.
00:26:39And besides,
00:26:41this looks fake.
00:26:43She's a liar.
00:26:45This
00:26:45is a personal
00:26:47invitation
00:26:47from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:50It grants me
00:26:50access to the
00:26:51VIP elevator,
00:26:52which leads straight
00:26:53to the vice presidential suite.
00:26:54She's lying.
00:26:56They don't have
00:26:56a VIP elevator
00:26:57in this hotel.
00:26:58Is there a special
00:27:03elevator for VIPs
00:27:04in this hotel?
00:27:06Not that I know of.
00:27:08See?
00:27:08She's lying.
00:27:10There you have it,
00:27:11Laura.
00:27:11Even the hotel staff
00:27:12can spot a fake.
00:27:13Go on,
00:27:14get lost
00:27:14before things get worse.
00:27:18Here,
00:27:19take this one.
00:27:20Lead me
00:27:20to the vice president's.
00:27:22You have
00:27:23no
00:27:24idea
00:27:25what you just did.
00:27:27There
00:27:27be consequences.
00:27:30Besides,
00:27:32if you have
00:27:33this relationship
00:27:33with Ian Lewis
00:27:34that you claim
00:27:35to have,
00:27:36why don't you
00:27:37just ask him
00:27:38to get the two
00:27:39of them
00:27:40an invitation?
00:27:42Security!
00:27:42Security!
00:27:43We need this woman
00:27:43removed immediately.
00:27:44She is harassing me.
00:27:45We're done with your games,
00:27:46Laura.
00:27:47You're just a fraud.
00:27:48Ma'am,
00:27:49play some of you.
00:27:49What?
00:27:50Hold on!
00:27:50Brian Shepard?
00:27:56You think money
00:27:57buys you the right
00:27:57to walk all over people?
00:27:59Well, it doesn't.
00:28:00Yeah.
00:28:00Wasn't enough
00:28:01to kick us out of
00:28:01Maplewood,
00:28:02was it, huh?
00:28:03What other plans
00:28:04do you have to
00:28:04destroy this town?
00:28:05Get you out?
00:28:07After what you did
00:28:07to Laura,
00:28:08you had it coming.
00:28:09Don't play dumb.
00:28:11We know exactly
00:28:12what's been happening here.
00:28:13How long has this
00:28:14little affair
00:28:14been going on?
00:28:16You've been sleeping
00:28:16with her since
00:28:17she was married
00:28:17to my son.
00:28:19Hold on a second.
00:28:20An affair?
00:28:22You think Laura and I,
00:28:23you people are unbelievable.
00:28:28Mr. Carter,
00:28:30get down here ASAP.
00:28:31We have a situation.
00:28:33What, you think
00:28:34you can just boss
00:28:34the manager around now?
00:28:35Is that it?
00:28:36Well, stick around
00:28:37and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:39Miss Lewis,
00:28:39apologies for the delay.
00:28:41How can I help you
00:28:41this evening?
00:28:42Thank you, Mr. Carter,
00:28:44for getting down here
00:28:44so quickly.
00:28:46It seems
00:28:47there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:49These people
00:28:50don't think
00:28:50that I belong here.
00:28:52Well, Mr. Carter,
00:28:53I can assure you
00:28:53this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:55A cleaner?
00:28:56Nonsense.
00:28:57I personally agreed
00:28:58to Miss Lewis
00:28:58upon her arrival
00:28:59in Maplewood
00:29:00three years ago.
00:29:01Exactly.
00:29:03Lewis Group,
00:29:05my company,
00:29:07has some major
00:29:08investments
00:29:09planned here
00:29:09in Maplewood.
00:29:10I was just here
00:29:11investigating
00:29:12potential business
00:29:12opportunities.
00:29:14No, this woman
00:29:15doesn't know
00:29:15the difference
00:29:16between business
00:29:17and a hole
00:29:17in the ground.
00:29:18She's been this way
00:29:19since my son
00:29:20divorced her.
00:29:20She's insane.
00:29:21Actually,
00:29:23I met Laura
00:29:23three years ago
00:29:24at the coffee shop.
00:29:25She helped
00:29:26secure a profitable
00:29:28investment
00:29:28for Shepard Group.
00:29:30No,
00:29:31it's a lie.
00:29:32Mr. Shepard,
00:29:33she's tricking you too.
00:29:34You know,
00:29:38it's exhausting
00:29:39trying to argue
00:29:40with people
00:29:41who forget
00:29:41who helped them.
00:29:44Mr. Carter,
00:29:45would you mind
00:29:45showing me
00:29:46to the VIP elevator?
00:29:47Wait a minute.
00:29:48Is that why
00:29:48you're covering for her?
00:29:49Huh?
00:29:49Because of the affair?
00:29:50Because she slept with you?
00:29:52Excuse me.
00:29:52Of course.
00:29:53Who are you
00:29:53and how dare you
00:29:54speak to Miss Lewis
00:29:55that way?
00:29:55Enough of this.
00:29:56She's wrapped.
00:29:57That's enough.
00:29:58Have you ever
00:29:58embarrassed yourself enough?
00:29:59This is
00:30:00Lewis Group property.
00:30:01Behave
00:30:02or I'll call security.
00:30:03But she doesn't even
00:30:04have a VIP entrance access.
00:30:07She shouldn't be here.
00:30:09Since you're having
00:30:09trouble understanding them,
00:30:12let me make it clear.
00:30:13This hotel
00:30:14is owned
00:30:15by the Lewis family.
00:30:17It's mine
00:30:18to come
00:30:19or go
00:30:20as I please.
00:30:25Thank you
00:30:25for sending me in,
00:30:26Ryan.
00:30:27I owe you
00:30:28one.
00:30:29We'll talk
00:30:30about this later.
00:30:32Well,
00:30:33it seems
00:30:33divorcing a powerful woman
00:30:35wasn't the best decision,
00:30:36Mr. Anderson.
00:30:41Thanks, Amy.
00:30:42What do you think
00:30:42we can have this here?
00:30:43Come in.
00:30:46Excuse me,
00:30:47Vice Presidents.
00:30:49I'm Amber Smith,
00:30:51General Manager
00:30:51of the Lewis Group
00:30:52Maplewood Branch.
00:30:53I believe Ian Lewis
00:30:54told you about
00:30:55our meeting today?
00:30:56Maplewood Branch.
00:30:57Our records
00:30:59don't show
00:31:00any Maplewood Branch,
00:31:02Miss Smith.
00:31:03Are you sure
00:31:04you haven't gotten
00:31:05something mixed up?
00:31:07Ian Lewis,
00:31:09Mr. Lewis,
00:31:11reassured me that
00:31:12today we would discuss,
00:31:13well,
00:31:15expansion plans.
00:31:16Oh,
00:31:16expansion plans?
00:31:19Miss Smith?
00:31:19A decision like that
00:31:21wouldn't be taken
00:31:21and without board approval.
00:31:23And frankly,
00:31:24we haven't heard anything
00:31:25about Maplewood Branch.
00:31:28But,
00:31:28Ian Lewis
00:31:29assured me that...
00:31:31Miss Smith,
00:31:32we have a very important
00:31:33guest arriving soon.
00:31:34Perhaps you'd like
00:31:35to schedule a follow-up meeting
00:31:36with one of our staff?
00:31:38Maybe I can stay
00:31:39for this guest
00:31:39and offer some local...
00:31:40Miss Smith,
00:31:41we'd like you to leave.
00:31:42If you don't,
00:31:43we'll call security.
00:31:44Hey,
00:31:50stop there.
00:31:51This elevator
00:31:52is a VIP only.
00:31:53Back, please.
00:31:54Of course.
00:31:55My apologies.
00:32:01Oh,
00:32:02Laura?
00:32:05Vice Presidents,
00:32:07it's so good
00:32:08to see all of you again.
00:32:10Miss Lewis,
00:32:12it's been too long.
00:32:13Your return
00:32:14is a lifesaver,
00:32:15Miss Lewis.
00:32:16The Lewis Group
00:32:17has floundered
00:32:18under your uncle's,
00:32:19well,
00:32:19shall we say,
00:32:20unconventional leadership.
00:32:22The board are begging you
00:32:24to come back,
00:32:25Miss Lewis.
00:32:27Well,
00:32:27please sit.
00:32:29Yes,
00:32:29well,
00:32:30it is time for me
00:32:31to get my career
00:32:32back on track.
00:32:33We've got
00:32:34a meeting planned,
00:32:35a big one,
00:32:36in just a few days.
00:32:38Local powerhouses
00:32:40and smaller players,
00:32:42too.
00:32:42They'll all be there
00:32:43in one spot.
00:32:44Miss Lewis,
00:32:45we met with an Amber Smith.
00:32:49She claimed
00:32:50your uncle
00:32:51appointed her
00:32:52general manager
00:32:53of a Maplewood branch
00:32:54for the Lewis Group.
00:32:56She said that,
00:32:57did she?
00:32:57Well,
00:32:58Miss Smith
00:32:58is a liar.
00:33:00There is no Maplewood branch,
00:33:02at least not yet.
00:33:03She lied so blatantly.
00:33:04It was,
00:33:05it's unbelievable.
00:33:06Bob,
00:33:07don't worry.
00:33:07I found a much
00:33:09more suitable partner.
00:33:12Shepherd Group.
00:33:14Shepherd Group?
00:33:15Their rise to a public company
00:33:16has been impressive.
00:33:18Do you have anything
00:33:19to do with that?
00:33:21So,
00:33:22what happens now
00:33:23with this
00:33:24Amber Smith?
00:33:26Oh,
00:33:27don't worry about Amber.
00:33:30I've got plans
00:33:31for her.
00:33:34Miss Lewis,
00:33:35consider this
00:33:37your official invitation
00:33:39to the legend
00:33:40from us.
00:33:43Cheers.
00:33:44Cheers.
00:33:44Cheers.
00:33:44Cheers.
00:33:44Cheers.
00:33:44Cheers.
00:33:44Cheers.
00:33:45Cheers.
00:33:45Cheers.
00:33:46Cheers.
00:33:46Cheers.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:48Cheers.
00:33:49Cheers.
00:33:49Cheers.
00:33:49Cheers.
00:33:49Cheers.
00:33:49Cheers.
00:33:49Cheers.
00:33:50Cheers.
00:33:50Cheers.
00:33:51Cheers.
00:33:52Cheers.
00:33:53Cheers.
00:33:54Cheers.
00:33:54Yeah,
00:33:54I'm not leaving.
00:33:55What are you talking about?
00:33:57No, come on.
00:33:57Wait!
00:33:57I'm Amber Smith.
00:33:59I'm the Lewis Group manager
00:34:00of Maplewood Branch.
00:34:01What are you doing?
00:34:01These are my guests.
00:34:02Yeah, that's right.
00:34:03Tell them who we are.
00:34:04Yes,
00:34:04we were waiting for Miss Smith.
00:34:08Lewis Group,
00:34:08Maplewood Branch?
00:34:09No such thing, ma'am.
00:34:11And frankly,
00:34:11I'm not interested
00:34:12in your act.
00:34:13Oh,
00:34:14of course.
00:34:15Laura.
00:34:16She's probably sleeping
00:34:17with the manager as well.
00:34:19That's how she gets
00:34:19away with everything.
00:34:21You underestimate her,
00:34:22Kathy.
00:34:22She's probably sleeping
00:34:23with all three vice presidents.
00:34:25No way a girl like her
00:34:27could get into a hotel like this.
00:34:28Careful with your words.
00:34:30Both of you.
00:34:32Acquisitions like that
00:34:33can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:37Look who can't even get into a meeting
00:34:39whilst I secure three
00:34:40with all the vice presidents.
00:34:42And let's not forget
00:34:43the mystery guests
00:34:44that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:34:45Looks like she used you
00:34:47and tossed you aside.
00:34:48Used me?
00:34:50Unlike some people,
00:34:51I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:53You're so stupid.
00:34:55She threw you away
00:34:56like yesterday's trash.
00:34:58Don't worry, Brian.
00:34:59You deserve better.
00:35:00And let's not forget,
00:35:02I'm the new Maplewood Branch
00:35:03Manager of Lewis Group,
00:35:05appointed by the CEO
00:35:06of Lewis Group themselves,
00:35:08Ian Lewis.
00:35:09New Branch Manager, huh?
00:35:11Interesting.
00:35:13Laura Lewis?
00:35:14What are you doing here?
00:35:15Get out of here!
00:35:17You claim to be
00:35:18the mystery guest.
00:35:19Don't play games, Laura.
00:35:21I was formally invited
00:35:22by Lewis Group themselves
00:35:24to the investment meeting.
00:35:26Only the top companies
00:35:27get those.
00:35:28Looks like you're
00:35:29all out of luck.
00:35:30Is that so?
00:35:32Well then,
00:35:34there seems to be
00:35:35a misunderstanding.
00:35:37You see,
00:35:38I'm not sure if you know
00:35:39Miss Smith,
00:35:40but Lewis Group
00:35:41is my company
00:35:42and I decide
00:35:43who goes to the meetings.
00:35:47Escort them out.
00:35:49What?
00:35:49Their visit is over.
00:35:51Oh, come on.
00:35:52This way, please.
00:35:53I'm not leaving.
00:35:55Move.
00:35:56We're not leaving again.
00:35:57Move.
00:35:58Oh, no, no, no.
00:35:58We're not going now.
00:35:59Okay, fine, fine.
00:36:00This isn't over, Laura.
00:36:02You'll see.
00:36:05Thanks for waiting, Ben.
00:36:08I'm all right.
00:36:10I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:12And thank you
00:36:14for defending me.
00:36:16I really appreciate it.
00:36:20Um,
00:36:21are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:24Yes, but
00:36:25it's going to be tricky.
00:36:30Why?
00:36:31I'm sure
00:36:32that Shepard Group
00:36:33got an invitation.
00:36:36Yes.
00:36:38Laura,
00:36:39there's something
00:36:41you should know.
00:36:42Is,
00:36:43is this about
00:36:45Ben?
00:36:46Because I can
00:36:47assure you
00:36:47that he won't
00:36:48cause any problems.
00:36:49He won't even
00:36:50get past security.
00:36:52Laura,
00:36:53it's not Ben.
00:36:55It's someone else.
00:36:56someone's causing
00:36:59problems
00:37:00for Shepard Group?
00:37:03Yes.
00:37:05Her name is
00:37:06Chloe Duke.
00:37:08She is daughter
00:37:09of the Duke family.
00:37:10She's my ex-fiancée.
00:37:16And, uh,
00:37:16let's say
00:37:17things didn't
00:37:18end so well
00:37:19between us.
00:37:21And,
00:37:22let's just say
00:37:24we didn't
00:37:25end things so well.
00:37:27And,
00:37:28for some reason,
00:37:29she's having
00:37:30a hard time
00:37:31moving on.
00:37:33And,
00:37:34you think that
00:37:36she's gonna cause
00:37:37problems at the
00:37:38meeting
00:37:39for
00:37:40out of
00:37:44jealousy?
00:37:46There's a possibility.
00:37:48She's kind of jealous.
00:37:50Well,
00:37:52all the more reason
00:37:53for you to be there.
00:37:55So,
00:37:56I'll be there too.
00:38:01Laura,
00:38:03would you consider
00:38:04being
00:38:05Icast at the meeting?
00:38:07What?
00:38:08Are you worried
00:38:09that this Chloe
00:38:10is gonna cause
00:38:10problems for me, too?
00:38:12Maybe a little.
00:38:13But,
00:38:14mostly,
00:38:15I wanna show them
00:38:16we're a team.
00:38:17Well,
00:38:18it's a very
00:38:19kind offer,
00:38:20Mr. Shepard.
00:38:23Laura,
00:38:24I don't care
00:38:29about your best.
00:38:30I just want
00:38:31to be by your side.
00:38:33I think
00:38:33I'm falling for you.
00:38:37Brian,
00:38:39I appreciate
00:38:45your honesty
00:38:47and
00:38:47right now
00:38:48I'm just not,
00:38:51I just don't really
00:38:52have romance
00:38:53on my mind
00:38:54right now.
00:38:55Just with
00:38:55everything going on
00:38:57and going on.
00:38:59It's okay.
00:38:59I just want
00:39:01to be up front
00:39:02and if
00:39:04Goretra is anything,
00:39:06you won't
00:39:06face her alone.
00:39:11There's just
00:39:11one thing
00:39:12I do need.
00:39:15What is it?

00:39:18Ah,

00:39:52She's just
00:39:53a cleaner.
00:39:54She doesn't
00:39:54deserve to

00:44:36Well, we're not leaving,
00:44:37okay?
00:44:38Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:39This isn't over,
00:44:41Laura!
00:44:41Could I try the dress on now?
00:44:43Of course,
00:44:44Miss Lewis.
00:44:45You just follow me.
00:44:52Wow.
00:44:54Miss Lewis,
00:44:56this dress really was made for you.
00:45:00Laura,
00:45:01you look
00:45:01breath-taking
00:45:03in this dress.
00:45:04Brian,
00:45:05why would you do
00:45:06all
00:45:07of this
00:45:08for me?
00:45:11Laura.
00:45:13Because you deserve
00:45:14everything beautiful
00:45:15in the world.
00:45:17And that includes
00:45:19this dress.
00:45:22Will you give us a chance
00:45:24to see where things
00:45:25could go?
00:45:26I...
00:45:27I need a moment.
00:45:30Perhaps we could
00:45:31talk some more about this
00:45:32after
00:45:32the investment meeting?
00:45:35Does that mean
00:45:36you could be a yes?
00:45:38Maybe.
00:45:39Maybe.
00:45:39Maybe.
00:45:39Maybe.
00:45:39Maybe.
00:45:43Maybe.
00:45:44Hi.
00:45:53Hi.
00:45:56What?
00:45:58Well, well, well.
00:46:00Look who decided
00:46:01to join the party.
00:46:02Playing dress-up again,
00:46:03Laura?
00:46:03One more
00:46:04to suspect
00:46:05for remark
00:46:05towards Laura,
00:46:06Miss Smith.
00:46:07And you understand
00:46:08the meaning of rude.
00:46:09You threatening
00:46:10my girlfriend
00:46:10in front of everyone
00:46:11for this?
00:46:13This gold digger.
00:46:15You know, Ben,
00:46:15I really cared about you
00:46:17even after all
00:46:18the horrible things
00:46:19you said to me
00:46:20after our divorce.
00:46:21I knew the name
00:46:22of a great psychologist
00:46:23in New York.
00:46:25Maybe the shrinks
00:46:25in Maplewood
00:46:26aren't equipped
00:46:28to deal
00:46:29with your issues.
00:46:30Enough!
00:46:31I've had enough
00:46:32of this drama.
00:46:33Yeah, me too.
00:46:35Try that again
00:46:35and you'll regret it.
00:46:38Now, get the hell
00:46:38on my face.
00:46:40Let's see if you two
00:46:41even make it
00:46:41past the door.
00:46:42Yeah.
00:46:45I'm sorry, Miss Smith,
00:46:46but your name's
00:46:47not on the guest list.
00:46:48What?
00:46:49That's impossible.
00:46:51I was invited
00:46:51by the CEO himself.
00:46:56Unfortunately,
00:46:56neither Harrison Group
00:46:57or Smith Group
00:46:58their name is on the list.
00:47:00It looks like you two
00:47:01won't be getting let in
00:47:02after all.
00:47:04You don't have
00:47:05an invitation.
00:47:06You're just here
00:47:06because of Brian.
00:47:11Let me see this.
00:47:12This doesn't even look real.
00:47:14It's different from mine.
00:47:15Why don't you ask her
00:47:16if it's real?
00:47:20This appears to be
00:47:21a VIP invitation
00:47:22from the vice president.
00:47:25Please, right this way.
00:47:26We can continue
00:47:27this discussion later.
00:47:29If you manage to get in.
00:47:34Sir?
00:47:35Madam?
00:47:36We recommend you leave.
00:47:39There you are!
00:47:41How dare you
00:47:42steal my fiancée!
00:47:45There you are!
00:47:47How dare you
00:47:47steal my fiancée!
00:47:48Looks like another
00:47:50relationship
00:47:50fights the dust, Laura.
00:47:52Looks like stealing men
00:47:54is a habit of yours.
00:47:55Get away from him!
00:47:57He's engaged to me!
00:47:58Hey, hey, hey.
00:47:59Hold your horses, Glenn.
00:48:00That ended
00:48:01a long time ago.
00:48:03Engaged to you.
00:48:04Everyone in Maplewood
00:48:06knows what you did
00:48:07to Brian.
00:48:08Your relationship's
00:48:08history.
00:48:11That was just
00:48:11a little tiff.
00:48:12You really think
00:48:13that could tear us apart?
00:48:14Don't you know
00:48:16who I am?
00:48:18Don't pretend
00:48:19like you don't know.
00:48:20Oh, honey.
00:48:21She don't recognize royalty,
00:48:23let alone a duke.
00:48:24She's just a maid,
00:48:25remember?
00:48:26I don't have time
00:48:27for all this drama.
00:48:29Brian?
00:48:31Let's head inside.
00:48:33Brian!
00:48:34How could you
00:48:34choose this
00:48:35cleaner
00:48:36over me?
00:48:38Are you really
00:48:39going to humiliate me
00:48:40in front of all
00:48:40of Maplewood?
00:48:41There's nothing
00:48:42left to say,
00:48:43going.
00:48:43Don't make this
00:48:44a scene.
00:48:45Shall we?
00:48:52You okay,
00:48:53Miss Duke?
00:48:54And you are?
00:48:55Amber Smith.
00:48:57I'm the Maplewood
00:48:58branch manager
00:48:59of Lewis Group.
00:49:00What branch?
00:49:01I've never heard of it.
00:49:02What do you want
00:49:03from me?
00:49:03That Laura!
00:49:05She tore up
00:49:06my invitation.
00:49:07Do you think
00:49:07you can get me inside?
00:49:08What, your little
00:49:09manager title
00:49:10couldn't get you
00:49:10past the front door?
00:49:11Please don't
00:49:13waste my time.
00:49:14Oh my gosh.
00:49:45If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:49:49The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:49:53Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.
00:49:56Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:49:58Good.
00:50:00I need your help with something.
00:50:02What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.
00:50:05It's Brian.
00:50:07Who's that woman? I thought you were...
00:50:10She's a con woman.
00:50:12She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:14What?
00:50:16Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:21Well, she's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.
00:50:25What are you planning?
00:50:27I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:50:32Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:36I had no idea she would be so...
00:50:41intense.
00:50:44What do you mean?
00:50:45What do you mean?
00:50:45You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:50:48I mean, you guys are just...
00:50:50Power couple.
00:50:53I see what you're doing.
00:50:55Power couple, you say?
00:50:58More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:51:01Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:51:05Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:51:09It's up there.
00:51:11Really?
00:51:13She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:51:15Excuse me.
00:51:15This is my VIP invitation.
00:51:19I can sit wherever I like.
00:51:22Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:51:24This is signed by all three VPs of Louis' group.
00:51:27Where did you get this?
00:51:29Who did you have to sleep with?
00:51:31That's enough.
00:51:34This is getting us nowhere.
00:51:35Laura is my guest.
00:51:38And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:51:43Got it?
00:51:44Mr. Shepard, what do you see in that woman?
00:51:49Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:51:51She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.
00:51:55What more could you ask for?
00:51:57That's a good question.
00:51:59Not much, actually.
00:52:02Honesty.
00:52:04That's what I want.
00:52:06And love.
00:52:07Things that clearly Chloe has no idea.
00:52:11I said I was sorry.
00:52:13What more do you want?
00:52:15I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:52:17She's like a daughter to me.
00:52:19I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:52:25Anyway.
00:52:27One more chance, Brian.
00:52:30Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:52:32Do it, Mr. Shepard.
00:52:34Propose right here, right now.
00:52:38Brian?
00:52:41Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:52:46By forcing a ring on someone?
00:52:49Do it.
00:52:50Or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:52:53Don't you dare.
00:53:01You humiliate yourself.
00:53:03How dare you?
00:53:04Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:53:07Yes.
00:53:09I like her.
00:53:10But I can't imagine someone like her interested in me.
00:53:15The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:53:22Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:24I know.
00:53:26Exactly.
00:53:27This woman is Trevor.
00:53:28She doesn't belong here.
00:53:30Throw her out.
00:53:31You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?
00:53:36Interesting turn of events.
00:53:38Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:53:42Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress, Laura Lewis?
00:53:49You know what?
00:53:53Maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:53:55How ridiculous.
00:53:56Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:53:58I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow.
00:54:05Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?
00:54:09You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.
00:54:12That's enough.
00:54:13You don't get to talk here.
00:54:15You got mad, Shepard.
00:54:16You dare to go against Miss Duke.
00:54:17And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:54:20Anyone who insults Laura.
00:54:23Leaves with a black eye.
00:54:25It's willing to offend the Duke for her.
00:54:27What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:29I want to be careful, Brian.
00:54:31Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:54:34Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:54:38The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not Shepard Group.
00:54:47Lewis Group RS?
00:54:50You?
00:54:51Don't make me laugh.
00:54:54Security!
00:54:55Remove these two imposters from the premises.
00:54:58Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:54:59Give Brian another chance.
00:55:01Choose, Brian.
00:55:02Me and the future you deserve.
00:55:05Or this fraud.
00:55:09Chloe.
00:55:10I have everything I ever wanted right here.
00:55:15In a wooden trade for all the power that Duke's home to me.
00:55:18Fine.
00:55:25Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:26What?
00:55:27You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:32Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:34The Duke family.
00:55:35They can't be serious.
00:55:36Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:38Brian.
00:55:39You don't have to do this for me.
00:55:42Laura.
00:55:44Now we'll never let anyone bully you.
00:55:47Let alone them.
00:55:48Thank you, Brian.
00:55:50For believing in me.
00:55:53For protecting me.
00:55:57Now it's my turn to protect you.
00:56:05Listen carefully.
00:56:08I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.
00:56:11At all costs.
00:56:13Don't let it drop even one cent.
00:56:16Do you understand?
00:56:19Wow.
00:56:21Award winning performance, Laura.
00:56:23But you can't possibly control stock.
00:56:26Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:30If the Shepard stock holds
00:56:34for the next five minutes,
00:56:40you owe me a public apology.
00:56:43Do it.
00:56:52Well,
00:56:53looks like your five minutes is up.
00:56:58Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
00:57:04What the?
00:57:06The Shepard Group stock prices?
00:57:08It's going up.
00:57:10This can't be happening.
00:57:11It must be a coincidence.
00:57:12It is.
00:57:18Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
00:57:21There was a huge investment.
00:57:23We couldn't compete.
00:57:24Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:27How did you do this?
00:57:29Like I said, Chloe,
00:57:32I'm Laura Lewis.
00:57:36No, you're not. You're just some clean-up. You don't have access to billions.
00:57:41Well, I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:49No, I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:53There is no way I'm apologizing to you.
00:57:56If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:57:59Chloe, the truth is, everyone here has seen you be a bully, and a coward, and now a sore loser.
00:58:13This is so humiliating for her.
00:58:17How did she manage that? Maybe she really is a Lewis.
00:58:21Apologize to Miss Lewis.
00:58:23Shut up. Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.
00:58:26But don't forget, the Duke found we own half of Maplewood.
00:58:31There you go, Miss Lewis.
00:58:32Let's get out of here.
00:58:35Hold on.
00:58:37This is where I belong.
00:58:40And that is my chair.
00:58:44You can't go there. That is the VIP section.
00:58:47Only those invited by the Lewis Group vice presidents get to sit there.
00:58:51Like I said, Chloe, that's my seat.
00:58:56I had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
00:59:04Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepard, wasn't it?
00:59:13Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
00:59:15Is this how you charm all your men?
00:59:17Shall we?
00:59:19My pleasure.
00:59:20What are you doing?
00:59:23Let go.
00:59:24It doesn't matter what happened.
00:59:26I choose to stay by Laura's side.
00:59:29Let's go.
00:59:31Don't be absurd.
00:59:32That seat is reserved for a very important guest.
00:59:36Someone so esteemed, even the vice presidents have to bow low.
00:59:40And how, exactly, Mr. Jones, are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
00:59:52Wait, that's Peter Young, director of business affairs at Lewis Group.
00:59:59That's Peter Young.
01:00:01He decides which investors are there.
01:00:02It's Chloe Duke, head of Duke Industries.
01:00:05So glad you could join us.
01:00:06Why is everyone standing around?
01:00:08It's her.
01:00:09She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat.
01:00:12It's embarrassing.
01:00:14That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
01:00:17Specifically the family heir.
01:00:20Please get off the stage.
01:00:22Oh, yes.
01:00:23Mr. Young, was it?
01:00:25I think I remember you.
01:00:27You manage my family's investments.
01:00:31Don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:00:34Please get off the stage.
01:00:35That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.
01:00:38I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:00:45I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:00:53This is ridiculous.
01:00:55You, the Lewis heir.
01:00:58Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:01:00You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:01:04Exactly.
01:01:05We ran a background check on her,
01:01:06and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.
01:01:11Before that, I could see her in my family's supermarket.
01:01:14See, Brian?
01:01:16This is who you've been chasing after.
01:01:18A liar and a cheat.
01:01:19Security, get this imposter out of here.
01:01:22And everyone here is a witness.
01:01:24Why would any of you trust Laura?
01:01:27If any of you dares to harm her,
01:01:31you have to go through me first.
01:01:33Brian, she's just a nobody.
01:01:36She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.
01:01:39They didn't even want her.
01:01:41What exactly do you see in her?
01:01:43Escort this imposter out of here.
01:01:45Now.
01:01:45Oh, Peter.
01:01:54Peter.
01:01:55Do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:01:59Mr. Yates.
01:02:00I'm so glad you could join us.
01:02:01Miss Lewis, sorry about the delay and for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:02:09It's no trouble, Mr. Yates.
01:02:12Luckily, I haven't been alone.
01:02:13I've had the great company of my very loyal friend.
01:02:20Wait a minute.
01:02:21She's Miss Lewis.
01:02:22Is this a joke?
01:02:24Mr. Young, you're new to the Lewis Group.
01:02:27So I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.
01:02:31But you listened to lies without checking the facts.
01:02:34And almost called the police.
01:02:38Tell me, Mr. Young, who put you up to this?
01:02:43Was it my uncle, Ian Lewis?
01:02:48I knew it.
01:02:52Consider this your termination.
01:02:56I get it now.
01:02:57This is all an act, right?
01:03:00Chloe, what are you doing?
01:03:01We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:03:02Work with them?
01:03:03Are you blind?
01:03:04This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:03:08That's enough, young lady.
01:03:09You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.
01:03:14Oh, Chloe.
01:03:16I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:03:18I think you need some professional help.
01:03:22Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:03:24Chloe, that's enough.
01:03:26It's ridiculous.
01:03:27If you weren't really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.
01:03:30So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:03:32Show us the ring.
01:03:33Who are you to make demands of me?
01:03:45I don't answer to anyone but myself.
01:03:49I don't need any of your validation.
01:03:52Oh, there's a ring.
01:04:00Vice President, I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.
01:04:04This woman is an imposter.
01:04:05Miss Lewis, we apologize for the delay.
01:04:09How could you just let that con woman sit there?
01:04:12Get her out of here.
01:04:13This seat was always for Miss Lewis.
01:04:16She's the special guest we've been waiting for.
01:04:20The investment queen.
01:04:22The real heir to Lewis Group.
01:04:25Laura Lewis.
01:04:26She was a divorced host wife.
01:04:28A janitor.
01:04:29How can she?
01:04:30She can't be.
01:04:30It's a lie.
01:04:31I'm telling you.
01:04:32It's a lie.
01:04:33Do you think we'd lie?
01:04:35We run Lewis Group.
01:04:37Oh, Chloe.
01:04:39You assaulted me earlier.
01:04:41And you came to this meeting to what?
01:04:45Sabotage it.
01:04:47You'll be hearing from our legal team.
01:04:52This is true, Miss Duke.
01:04:54Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:04:57Yes, it's all true.
01:04:59She fooled us all.
01:05:01The Duke tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewoods and control everything themselves.
01:05:07I had no idea.
01:05:08But I'm on your side.
01:05:10I can give you everything you need.
01:05:13All the resources in Maplewood.
01:05:15Miss Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this?
01:05:19An eye for an eye.
01:05:24Since Miss Duke here loves ruining things,
01:05:30I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:05:34I want them bankrupt in 10 minutes.
01:05:38You're bluffing.
01:05:40You're nobody.
01:05:41You'll always be a nobody.
01:05:43And you can't touch me.
01:05:45Then consider this a test, Chloe.
01:05:49I didn't need my family's support with Shepard,
01:05:51and I certainly don't need it now.
01:05:53Chloe, you dug your own grave.
01:05:56You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family with just the Shepard group?
01:06:01Please.
01:06:05We'll see.
01:06:11Dad?
01:06:12Slow down.
01:06:14What are you talking about?
01:06:16No.
01:06:18It's impossible.
01:06:21Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:23Years of hard work.
01:06:24Just draw it in minutes.
01:06:25What did you do?
01:06:31Well, Chloe, isn't this what you wanted?
01:06:36To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:06:39This is impossible.
01:06:41It's impossible.
01:06:43Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:45The news is everywhere.
01:06:47Shepard's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market.
01:06:51They're hammering our shares.
01:06:52Ow!
01:06:53Are you sure it's just Shepard?
01:06:55Yes!
01:06:56Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato.
01:07:00We could go bankrupt.
01:07:01You've ruined everything.
01:07:03Don't worry, Mr. Duke.
01:07:04When your company does go bankrupt, I'll buy it.
01:07:08At a fire sale price.
01:07:10Your employees won't even be affected.
01:07:12Brilliant.
01:07:12A master's job, Ms. Lewis.
01:07:15Now, this is my event.
01:07:20Please leave.
01:07:22Brian, I did this for us.
01:07:24Everything I did, I did for us, Brian.
01:07:28Chloe, you need help.
01:07:32These feelings you have for me, it's not love.
01:07:36It's obsession.
01:07:38Enough.
01:07:39If you don't want to ruin everything completely, you'll come with me right now.
01:07:45Right now.
01:07:46What?
01:07:55Laura!
01:07:56This isn't over!
01:07:57Get out of me!
01:07:59What?
01:08:00What?
01:08:01You hit me?
01:08:04What is going on here?
01:08:06Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:08:08Shepard Group.
01:08:09They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group from Maplewood.
01:08:12They're handling all future construction projects.
01:08:15That can't be.
01:08:17What about us?
01:08:18That was our project.
01:08:19Remember, Laura deemed it with Brian.
01:08:22Harrison Group is practically out.
01:08:24We have no chance.
01:08:25We can't give up that easily.
01:08:27Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager.
01:08:31In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.
01:08:34You're right.
01:08:35If we can just meet with a new heir, we can bypass the Shepards and meet directly with
01:08:39the Lewis Group.
01:08:41We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.
01:08:45That's right.
01:08:46Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.
01:08:55I'm sure I've met you in the book.
01:08:57Mr. Shepard, it's finally a pleasure to meet you.
01:09:01We've looked into your company's financial review.
01:09:04Very impressive.
01:09:07Thank you, bud.
01:09:08A large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.
01:09:11She practically saved me from disaster three times over now.
01:09:17Brian, you can just call me Laura.
01:09:19Ms. Lewis' recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.
01:09:24Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:09:27Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is gone.
01:09:31Seize it.
01:09:32A woman like Laura is not easy to find.
01:09:36Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.
01:09:41Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:09:48Laura?
01:09:49Hardly.
01:09:51I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.
01:09:57So you're Laura's uncle?
01:09:59In the flesh.
01:10:02So Laura really is your niece?
01:10:04Yes, little Laura.
01:10:06She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.
01:10:11Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.
01:10:14I think he was a Harrison.
01:10:16Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side.
01:10:19Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?
01:10:23And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?
01:10:26If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:10:30Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Miss Duke.
01:10:33We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:10:37What if I, what if I fail?
01:10:39My family is already ruined.
01:10:41Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say.
01:10:44But, if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family will get back everything you've lost.
01:10:52Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side.
01:10:54How can I possibly get the ring?
01:10:56There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly.
01:11:05Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:11:08Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.
01:11:15Laura.
01:11:16It's so good to see you.
01:11:17And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps.
01:11:22How have you been?
01:11:23I've been well, Uncle Ian.
01:11:25Thank you for asking.
01:11:28I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.
01:11:31Yes.
01:11:32Kind of been easy.
01:11:33Indeed.
01:11:34Somebody had to.
01:11:35I mean, after you left me with everything to do, without a safe pair of hands, I hate to think it would have happened to the company.
01:11:42Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard, you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.
01:11:51Yes.
01:11:52Minor mistakes.
01:11:53Minor.
01:11:53Don't worry, Uncle Ian.
01:11:55I won't hold it against you.
01:11:57Oh, good.
01:11:59Well, cheers to you coming back here.
01:12:02And the Lewis Group.
01:12:06Oh!
01:12:06I'm so sorry, Laura.
01:12:09How clumsy of me.
01:12:11Uh, no, no worries, Uncle Ian.
01:12:13I, I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.
01:12:17Of course.
01:12:19Right away.
01:12:20Just down to the left.
01:12:20Is it wisely.
01:12:24Is it wisely?
01:12:29Oh, I will.
01:12:30Hey, Laura. How's that?
01:12:47Hello, Brian. Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:12:50Chloe, how in the hell did you get Laura's phone?
01:12:54Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:12:57Listen, Chloe.
01:13:00Don't hurt her. Please.
01:13:02I'll do anything.
01:13:05Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs.
01:13:09Now.
01:13:11Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.
01:13:16Well, you certainly do have your ways.
01:13:22Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up. I am sorry. How clumsy.
01:13:26And don't forget your phone. I retrieved it for you.
01:13:29Oh, I'm going in.
01:13:30Lovely to see you again.
01:13:31Yeah. I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.
01:13:35At the banquet.
01:13:38I'll see you then.
01:13:39Will do. Looking forward to it.
01:13:44Laura! Laura! Where are you?
01:13:47Laura!
01:13:48Laura!
01:13:49Laura! Where are you?
01:13:52Laura! Laura, where are you?
01:13:55Laura!
01:13:55Laura!
01:13:56Laura!
01:13:56I got you.
01:14:01I wasn't expecting that, were you?
01:14:05I wasn't expecting that, were you?
01:14:05I wasn't expecting that, were you?
01:14:09I was expecting that, were you?
01:14:16Finally, looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.
01:14:19What the...?
01:14:20Laura, where are you? Laura? Laura?
01:14:22Go shut your mouth.
01:14:25Chloe, what have you done?
01:14:27You out of your mind?
01:14:28Out of my mind!
01:14:29Brian, you were the one that left me through that tram and destroyed my life!
01:14:34That's not true. You were the one who messed up!
01:14:36Brian!
01:14:37Laura!
01:14:40Stay where you are. You better not come alone.
01:14:45You shot this knife, Chloe. This is insane!
01:14:48Insane? I did this for us, Brian!
01:14:52We were meant to be together.
01:14:54Us? You've gone crazy! And you're out of here!
01:14:58Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious event. They're going to lock you up for years!
01:15:05You think I care about jail time? All I care about is tearing YouTube apart.
01:15:10Do you deserve him? What he does?
01:15:14You've destroyed my life, my company, everything!
01:15:19Now I'm going to destroy your life.
01:15:22Give me your family ring now. Give it to me!
01:15:26This is about the ring.
01:15:28Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:15:32You know, Chloe, trying to kill me, that's foolish.
01:15:38Because who do you think is going to win?
01:15:41You? That will not hurt. Or...
01:15:45Me? Something a little bit more persuasive.
01:15:57Freeze! Don't move anyone!
01:15:59Don't move! You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.
01:16:06Miss Lewis, having fun without me? I'm hurt.
01:16:11Are you hurt?
01:16:14No, I'm okay.
01:16:15Tell me, Chloe.
01:16:20Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:16:23Why should I tell you?
01:16:25You're going to kill me anyway.
01:16:27Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:16:29But if you don't talk, your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:16:36Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:40So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:16:43Talk!
01:16:44Or face the consequences.
01:16:46Fine.
01:16:47It was Ian Lewis.
01:16:49He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the banker today.
01:16:55Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:16:57I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:17:02Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:17:04Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:17:18This is crazy.
01:17:19Are we really sure we can do this?
01:17:20All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:17:22Absolutely.
01:17:23The Lewis Group is under new leadership.
01:17:26We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:28Exactly.
01:17:29We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:17:32There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:34You can introduce us.
01:17:35Let's go.
01:17:36Yeah.
01:17:39Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:17:40I'm Amber Smith.
01:17:41We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:42This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.
01:17:45How do you do?
01:17:46We're the company of-
01:17:47Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:48Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:17:52Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:17:55Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:18:00Could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:18:04The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:18:07Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:11A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:18:14Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group, Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:21Look, everybody, attention.
01:18:23Attention, please.
01:18:24There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:18:30I just got notice from a phone call a couple of minutes ago that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:18:37And tragically, she hasn't made it.
01:18:40She has not survived.
01:18:42What?
01:18:45Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:47It doesn't matter now.
01:18:49She's gone.
01:18:50Mr. Lewis, is this new-
01:18:52A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:18:55But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.
01:19:01Hold on!
01:19:02Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:06Laura!
01:19:11I don't understand.
01:19:13What's happening?
01:19:15Laura?
01:19:16But why you-
01:19:17My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:19:21There seems to be some misunderstanding.
01:19:24Laura, what are you doing here?
01:19:26You've got to stop this.
01:19:27If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:19:29I'll save this once.
01:19:31Back off, then.
01:19:37Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:19:39As I'm sure you know, tonight, I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:19:51Perhaps you could make some room for me, Uncle Ian.
01:19:56Impossible.
01:19:57How are you still alive?
01:19:58Well, clearly I am alive and well, so why don't we get this started?
01:20:03No.
01:20:04You're not the rightful heir.
01:20:06You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:20:09Uncle Ian.
01:20:10Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument that you have that I got married too quickly?
01:20:16Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger and left me to work tirelessly, keeping the company together.
01:20:24Uncle Ian, retire. Enjoy your retirement. Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:20:30No. There can only be one heir. And that's me. And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:20:40You think a ring makes an heir. You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:20:47Give that back to me.
01:20:48This.
01:20:49Yes.
01:20:50You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:20:54Give it back.
01:20:55True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you. Not some stupid ring.
01:21:04Oh, my ring. What have you done? Where is it?
01:21:11My ring? Oh.
01:21:13Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.
01:21:16I bet you.
01:21:17Now, let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.
01:21:25Talk.
01:21:27Fine. It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:29He said he helped juking the strings if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:21:34Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr. Lewis.
01:21:39Security, escort him out.
01:21:42And Ian, don't fall over.
01:21:45It's all lies. It's all lies. Fakery.
01:21:47It's fake news.
01:21:48The truth is clear. Get him out of here. Now.
01:21:54I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:21:58Turns out reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:22:04Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr. Shepherd by my side, and he has been a great support.
01:22:15Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:22:22I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:22:28Shepherd Group.
01:22:32What? Laura, hold on.
01:22:34This was never my idea. This was all Cathy and Amber's fault. I don't want a divorce.
01:22:39What? Ben, what are you saying? You came to me first.
01:22:42Classic Ben. Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.
01:22:47Just don't shut Harrison Group out. Just give me another chance.
01:22:52How could I shut you out?
01:22:54I'm just a cleaner, remember?
01:22:56I'm just a useless housewife.
01:22:59I don't have that power.
01:23:02What are you talking about? What? No, come on. Sorry. No, please, no.
01:23:07Um, Mr. Shepherd?
01:23:09Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:23:11I was wondering if...
01:23:14Maybe you wanted to grab dinner.
01:23:17Sometime.
01:23:19On me.
01:23:21Miss Lewis.
01:23:25I would love to.
