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 meeting.
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.
00:01:12Don't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:14This is incredible!
00:01:17What's going on?
00:01:18He's running at him.
00:01:20It's failing! The 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?
00:01:51Mr. Yates?
00:01:52What, only two bodyguards this time?
00:01:54You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:01:55No, ma'am. I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:01:57Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:09Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:25Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:30Look, 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.
00:03:08Why?
00:03:09You are not worthy of my son anymore. The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract. The Sheppard Group. And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:03:27The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time. I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:34I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:37You, a cleaning woman, handing out million dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.
00:03:43I did. It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:50Hey, I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:55What are you doing here?
00:03:57Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family. Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:04Local royalty. A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:08And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner? Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it?
00:04:17Ben?
00:04:20What's going on?
00:04:21Is this why you want a divorce? Because of her?
00:04:24Oh, please. I've spent years building Harrison Group. You're still a cleaner. We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:32Growing apart? No. No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:42I won't sign.
00:04:46Money is a motivator, isn't it? Ben?
00:04:49All right. Here. A hundred thousand dollars. Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:56A hundred thousand dollars?
00:04:58I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:04Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:07Don't be ridiculous. You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:11This is our active charity to work.
00:05:14Here. A million dollars. Take this.
00:05:16You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:19Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:22I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.
00:05:28Since none of you respect me.
00:05:32A cleaning lady, threatening us.
00:05:35I'm so scared.
00:05:36I'm so scared.
00:05:37Just leave. You already make this house stink.
00:05:39Thank God she's gone.
00:05:40Go to written store.
00:05:41Sir?
00:05:42Laura Lewis' information.
00:05:44She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:05:45No wonder why she wants to partner with him.
00:05:46Actually, sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:05:47Divorced her?
00:05:48Wait a minute.
00:05:49Don't you remember?
00:05:50Don't you remember?
00:05:51She's the one who helped us with the suite of contracts.
00:05:52Really?
00:05:53No.
00:05:54No.
00:05:55No.
00:05:56No.
00:05:57No.
00:05:58No.
00:05:59No.
00:06:00No.
00:06:01No.
00:06:02No.
00:06:03No.
00:06:04No.
00:06:05No.
00:06:06No.
00:06:07No.
00:06:08No.
00:06:09No.
00:06:10No.
00:06:11No.
00:06:12No.
00:06:13No.
00:06:14No.
00:06:15No.
00:06:16No.
00:06:17No.
00:06:18No.
00:06:19No.
00:06:20No.
00:06:21No.
00:06:22No.
00:06:23No.
00:06:24No.
00:06:25No.
00:06:26No.
00:06:27No.
00:06:28No.
00:06:29No.
00:06:30No.
00:06:31No.
00:06:32No.
00:06:33No.
00:06:34No.
00:06:35No.
00:06:36No.
00:06:37No.
00:06:38No.
00:06:39No.
00:06:40No.
00:06:41No.
00:06:42No.
00:06:43No.
00:06:44No.
00:06:45We gave you a generous divorce settlement, you refused it, and now you're stealing.
00:06:49She couldn't afford it. You're a thief.
00:06:58That's mine. Give 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. Do you know who I am?
00:07:21Is this true? You 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. I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:33Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard would have become 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. He doesn't look like that. My ring.
00:07:50Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:07:51Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:55Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.
00:07:58Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:03It's all right, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:08:06Oh, brown, dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on.
00:08:11We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:15Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. I go back.
00:08:18What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie.
00:08:23Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura. You come back here and explain yourself.
00:08:26Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.
00:08:29Laura, 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. The event will proceed. Besides, 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, Mr. 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,
00:09:20and we're going to have a meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today.
00:09:26Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:31Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:36Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis. I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:41Ben Harrison, you're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:54After 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!
00:10:06Get 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.
00:10:19A 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.
00:10:28Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:33Oh, Lord, 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!
00:10:40That's what you get.
00:10:51This contract is mine to give or take away as I see fit.
00:10:57Don'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,
00:11:13but since you clearly don't deserve it.
00:11:16You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:45You're so silly, Lori.
00:11:46Oh, please, honey.
00:11:48You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:50Security!
00:11:51Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:54I was the one that started this deal with the shepherds.
00:11:57And after careful consideration,
00:12:01I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the shepherds.
00:12:05You really think that the shepherd group and I
00:12:08could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:12:10You have no authority here.
00:12:12Of course she has the authority.
00:12:15That'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,
00:12:33I 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?
00:12:55Yeah.
00:12:55She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:13:00Mom, please.
00:13:01It'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,
00:13:08and you just stand there?
00:13:09You're a disgrace.
00:13:10An adulterer.
00:13:12You deserve to be a...
00:13:13Shut up.
00:13:16Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess,
00:13:19but I can assure you,
00:13:20this woman has tricked you.
00:13:22Tricked?
00:13:24Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?
00:13:28What 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.
00:13:40That's crazy.
00:13:43There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:46That's absurd.
00:13:48It'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 in need of 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.
00:14:20Mm-hmm.
00:14:20Now 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.
00:14:28That woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:30She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:32She'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.
00:14:41I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:47I 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.
00:15:07And the cheating.
00:15:10I 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, ruin 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, at 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 should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:16:11A janitor.
00:16:12Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:20You did.
00:16:22You claimed to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Levy?
00:16:27Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:16:29This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:34I, but, well...
00:16:36A lie, you say?
00:16:37Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:16:41But I don't recognize you.
00:16:42Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:47Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:51This 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 and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:02Reprinted, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:05Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis' involvement.
00:17:10I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:16Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:19Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in 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, Ben.
00:17:41Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:46Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:51And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:17:58Everyone, listen to me.
00:17:59The Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison Group.
00:18:03A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:11The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:13Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:18Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:22Help!
00:18:23Mom!
00:18:24Someone get a doctor!
00:18:25Mom!
00:18:26It seems you're not as taken quite the term, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:27Mr. Shepard.
00:18:28Help!
00:18:29Mom!
00:18:30Someone get a doctor!
00:18:31Mom!
00:18:32It seems you're not as taken quite the term, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:33Indeed.
00:18:34Perhaps it's best to live them to it.
00:18:35What?
00:18:36What?
00:18:37What now?
00:18:38Mom!
00:18:39Mom!
00:18:40This is not all on me!
00:18:40Not on you!
00:18:41I was trying to help!
00:18:42She cheated on you with Shepard,
00:19:09down at her salary. Miss Smith, how could you do this? We trusted you completely. No, no. I got Ben
00:19:18the deal. I had no idea Shepard would call for Laura. She's a liar. Oh, stop it, Amber. You lied
00:19:25to us just as much as she did. Lied? You're on my side. And anyways, I have a plan. The Shepards
00:19:34are no one special. We can expose Laura and all her lies. Go national. We can make ourselves
00:19:40a household name. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to you.
00:19:52Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard. Thank you as well for standing up for me. It's
00:19:58all right, Laura. You deserve the credit for all your hard work. Can I ask you something?
00:20:02Do you have any place to stay tonight? Maybe a hotel? Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:08I'll be fine. Excuse me, you can just drop me off. Actually, Laura, actually, Laura, there
00:20:15is something else. Would you consider to go off for dinner sometime? Just casually, of
00:20:20course. Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out? Please, call me Brian. And yes, technically,
00:20:30you're single now. Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't
00:20:40exactly. Proper. Proper? Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances. Tonight, I saw your
00:20:51intelligence and your strength. Those are qualities I truly admire. So what do you say? Dinner?
00:20:59Just two people getting to know each other. I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard. I actually have another
00:21:10appointment tonight, so I can't do that. Wait, Laura. Just here is fine.
00:21:14Laura? Laura? Who is it? Laura, wait! Jason, find out who owns that car and do it fast.
00:21:31Ian Lewis? Who is this? It's Amber Smith. Mr. Lewis? I'm sorry for the late call, but
00:21:46I believe I have some urgent information about your family. I don't know who you are, Miss
00:21:51Smith. How did you get this number? Don't worry about that right now. I believe I know
00:21:57someone impersonating Laura Lewis. Someone I know very well. Impersonating my niece? And
00:22:05where is this fake Laura? Right here in Maplewood. And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:13Well, what is she doing exactly? And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:22:22In the next few days, the Lewis group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:22:26I want to meet with the vice presidents. All will be revealed then. Very well. I'll have
00:22:33my secretary arrange a meeting. But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I... It won't
00:22:39be. Trust me, Mr. Lewis. Thank you, Mr. Lewis.
00:22:48That little rascal, Laura. I wonder what she's up to now.
00:22:56That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubbler.
00:23:01Oh. Lewis family? That's interesting. Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:23:10I'm not sure.
00:23:12Brian! There you are. I've missed you.
00:23:17Chloe. What are you up to?
00:23:21Chloe, what are you doing here?
00:23:23What do you mean? Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:27We ended things for a reason.
00:23:29It was just one teensy mistake. I was a little bit tipsy. Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:36It's a mistake you said. You cheated on me.
00:23:43Is this your new fling? Ex-divorcey. Used a clean floor. It's quite the catch, you say.
00:23:51Look. My relationship with her is none of your business. And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:23:58Please. An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman. It's a classic story.
00:24:05That's enough. I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:24:08You want to be careful, Brian. Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:14If you want Shepherd Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.
00:24:19Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:25This is it. The Lewis Group vice presidents are on the top floor. Once I'm done speaking with them,
00:24:37I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments. I'll go speak with them first,
00:24:41and then I'll introduce you. Well, well, well. Look who it is. What a surprise. Did Brian teach you already?
00:24:50That's none of your business. Now, move aside, please.
00:24:55Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat? You really think you can just ruin my
00:25:00events again? Haven't you ruined my life enough? Don't you have any shame?
00:25:04If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:25:08Oh, the nurse. After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them, too?
00:25:13Seriously? I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:20Oh, that's gold. You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura? Please, you're no one compared to me.
00:25:26You don't deserve to be here. The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:25:32And you, idiot, believing every lie that she tells you. Wake up, Ben.
00:25:38Oh, Laura. Laura, come on. Why do you always pull this on me? I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:25:47I know what this is.
00:25:48So stupid.
00:25:51Oh, such a trap. Amber spoke directly with the CEO. He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:25:58Oh, yeah. Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.
00:26:03And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:26:06Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this?
00:26:18Oh, that's rich. You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.
00:26:22I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.
00:26:26Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?
00:26:30You mean my uncle?
00:26:32Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:35Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:26:40And besides, this looks fake. She's a liar.
00:26:45This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:49It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.
00:26:54She's lying. They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:27:02Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?
00:27:06Not that I know of.
00:27:08See, she's lying.
00:27:10There you have it, Laura. Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:27:13Go on, get lost before things get worse.
00:27:16Here, take this one. Lead me to the vice presidents.
00:27:22You have no idea what you just did. There will be consequences.
00:27:30Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,
00:27:36why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?
00:27:42Security! Security! We need this woman removed immediately. She is harassing me.
00:27:45We're done with your games, Laura. You're just a fraud.
00:27:48Ma'am, place with me.
00:27:49What?
00:27:49Hold on!
00:27:54Brian Shepard?
00:27:55You think money buys you the right to walk all over people? Well, it doesn't.
00:28:00Yeah. Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?
00:28:03What other plans do you have to destroy this town?
00:28:05Get you out?
00:28:07After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.
00:28:09Don't play dumb. We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:28:13How long has this little affair been going on?
00:28:15You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.
00:28:18Hold on a second. An affair?
00:28:21I think Laura and I, you people are unbelievable.
00:28:28Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP. We have a situation.
00:28:33What, you think you can just boss the manager around now? Is that it?
00:28:36We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:39Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay. How can I help you this evening?
00:28:42Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:46It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:48These people don't think that I belong here.
00:28:52Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:55A cleaner? Nonsense. I personally agreed to Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:29:01Exactly. Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:10I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:29:13No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.
00:29:18She's been this way since my son divorced her. She's insane.
00:29:21Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.
00:29:25She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.
00:29:30No, it's a lie. Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too.
00:29:34You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.
00:29:44Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?
00:29:47Wait a minute. Is that why you're covering for her?
00:29:49Huh? Because of the affair? Because she slept with you?
00:29:51Excuse me. Who are you and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:29:55Not this. She's right.
00:29:57That's enough. Have you embarrassed yourself enough?
00:29:59This is Lewis Group property. Behave or I'll call security.
00:30:03But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access. She shouldn't be here.
00:30:08Since you're having trouble understanding them, let me make it clear.
00:30:13This hotel is owned by the Lewis family. It's mine to come or go as I please.
00:30:21Thank you for stepping in, Ryan. I owe you one. We'll talk about this later.
00:30:31Well, it seems that divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Emerson.
00:30:36Excuse me, Vice Presidents. I'm Amber Smith, General
00:30:51Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch. I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today.
00:30:56Maplewood Branch. Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Miss Smith.
00:31:03Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:31:07Ian Lewis, Mr. Lewis, reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:31:15Oh, expansion plans? Miss Smith? A decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:31:23And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.
00:31:27But Ian Lewis assured me that- Miss Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.
00:31:34Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.
00:31:37Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local-
00:31:39Miss Smith, we'd like you to leave. If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:49Hey, stop there. These elevators are VIP only. Back, please.
00:31:54Of course. My apologies.
00:32:02Laura?
00:32:03Vice Presidents, it's so good to see all of you again.
00:32:10Miss Lewis, it's been too long.
00:32:13Your return is a lifesaver, Miss Lewis. The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's,
00:32:19well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:32:21The board are begging you to come back, Miss Lewis.
00:32:25Miss Lewis?
00:32:27Well, please sit. Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.
00:32:33We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.
00:32:38Local powerhouses and smaller players, too. They'll all be there in one spot.
00:32:44Miss Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith. She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a
00:32:53Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group. She said that. Did she? Well, Miss Smith is a liar.
00:33:00There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet. She lied so blatantly. It was, it's unbelievable.
00:33:06Bob, don't worry. I found a much more suitable partner.
00:33:13Shepherd Group. Shepherd Group? Their rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:33:19Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:20So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:33:26Oh, don't worry about Amber. I've got plans for her.
00:33:34Miss Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the legend from us.
00:33:43Cheers.
00:33:44Cheers.
00:33:50Yeah, I'm not leaving.
00:33:56What are you talking about? No, come on.
00:33:57Wait! I'm Amber Smith. I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch. What are you doing? These are my guests.
00:34:02Yeah, that's right. Tell them who we are.
00:34:04Yes, we were waiting for Miss Smith.
00:34:08Lewis Group, Maplewood branch? No such thing, ma'am. And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:34:13Of course. Laura. She's probably sleeping with the manager as well. That's how she gets away with everything.
00:34:20You underestimate her, Kathy. She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.
00:34:26No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:34:28Careful with your words.
00:34:30Both of you. Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:34Look who can't even get into a meeting. Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.
00:34:42And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:34:46Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:34:48Used me? Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:53You're so stupid. She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:34:57Don't worry, Brian. You deserve better. And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:35:04Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:35:09New branch manager, huh? Interesting.
00:35:13Laura Lewis? What are you doing here? Get out of here!
00:35:17You claim to be the mystery guest. Don't play games, Laura.
00:35:21I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:35:26Only the top companies get those. Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:35:30Is that so? Well then.
00:35:33There seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:35:37You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.
00:35:42And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:35:47Escort them out.
00:35:48What?
00:35:49Your visit is over.
00:35:50Oh, come on. This way, please.
00:35:53I'm not leaving.
00:35:56Move. We're not leaving again. Move. Oh, no, no, no. We're not going now.
00:35:59Okay, fine, fine, fine.
00:36:00This isn't over, Laura. You'll see.
00:36:02Thanks for waiting, Ben.
00:36:09Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:12And thank you for defending me. I really appreciate it.
00:36:19Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:23Yes, but it's going to be tricky.
00:36:30Why? I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:36:36Yes, Laura.
00:36:38There's something you should know.
00:36:42Is this about Ben?
00:36:46Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems. He won't even get past security.
00:36:52Laura, it's not Ben.
00:36:54It's someone else.
00:36:58Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:37:03Yes.
00:37:06Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:37:08She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:37:12She's my ex-fiance.
00:37:15And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:37:19And, uh, let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:37:27And for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.
00:37:33And you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting for,
00:37:43out of jealousy?
00:37:47There's a possibility. She's kind of jealous.
00:37:50Well, all the more reason for you to be there.
00:37:55Besides, I'll be there too.
00:38:01Laura, would you consider being my guest at the meeting?
00:38:07What? Are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too?
00:38:12Maybe a little, but mostly I want to show them your team.
00:38:17Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard. Thank you.
00:38:23Laura.
00:38:24I don't care about your best.
00:38:30I just want to be by your side.
00:38:32I think I'm falling for you.
00:38:34Brian.
00:38:39Brian.
00:38:39Brian.
00:38:44I, I appreciate your honesty.
00:38:47And right now, I, I'm just not, I, I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:38:55Just with, with everything going on, and going on.
00:38:58I just want to be up front.
00:39:03And if Chloe tries anything, you won't face her alone.
00:39:07There's just one thing I do need.
00:39:15What is it?
00:39:16A formal dress.
00:39:26Oh, security.
00:39:31Uh, security.
00:39:32She doesn't belong here.
00:39:33This is a private store.
00:39:35Excuse me.
00:39:36We need some assistance.
00:39:38I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:39:43Wow.
00:39:44It's beautiful.
00:39:46It is.
00:39:47I'll try this one on.
00:39:49Don't bother with her.
00:39:50She can't afford anything here.
00:39:52She's just a cleaner.
00:39:54She doesn't deserve to shop here.
00:39:55She has no money.
00:39:56Yeah, exactly.
00:39:59I mean, what are you doing here?
00:40:01Can't you just leave me alone?
00:40:02I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared.
00:40:05I'm here for retail therapy.
00:40:08Oh, please.
00:40:09This store's for the A-list only.
00:40:11Not some cheapskate like you.
00:40:13It's just the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:40:16Hey, show some respect.
00:40:18Typical Laura.
00:40:20Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.
00:40:23I would have asked you, but without me,
00:40:25I'm sure they're already booked.
00:40:27Oh, please.
00:40:28Come on.
00:40:28We'll take the dress.
00:40:29Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:40:33What do you mean you don't sell it?
00:40:35I want it.
00:40:36Name your price.
00:40:37It's not about the price, ma'am.
00:40:39This one was custom made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress.
00:40:43The entire brand belongs to her.
00:40:45This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.
00:40:49It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:40:51What are you talking about?
00:40:53Of course it would suit her.
00:40:54It'd fit her just fine.
00:40:55And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:40:59Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.
00:41:07Oh, please.
00:41:08Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?
00:41:11We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:41:13Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.
00:41:15You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:41:18Could you please tell me more about this dress?
00:41:21Of course.
00:41:21Uh, it was custom made for Laura Lewis, heiress to the Lewis Group Fortune.
00:41:27And stitched in Italy, naturally.
00:41:30And apparently there are many more like it.
00:41:32This was high-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.
00:41:38Laura, do you like this dress?
00:41:41Of course.
00:41:42Of course, it's custom made for me.
00:41:45I'm just here to take what's already mine.
00:41:47Oh, you can't be serious.
00:41:49There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.
00:41:52Fine, fine.
00:41:54If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?
00:41:57It would look incredible on me.
00:41:58Miss, this dress is very delicate.
00:42:02If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:42:06Are you calling me fat?
00:42:08Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand?
00:42:13How's that sound?
00:42:14Sir, are you serious?
00:42:15You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:42:19This brand is worth at least 50 million dollars.
00:42:22And to buy it for a waitress?
00:42:25Are you out of your mind?
00:42:27Yes, you see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:42:30Just one second.
00:42:34Yes, this is Brian Shepherd, CEO of Shepherd Group.
00:42:38I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:42:41I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.
00:42:47What?
00:42:50Sorry, sir.
00:42:50That brand is not for sale.
00:42:53You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.
00:42:59Mr. Yates, yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:43:03I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepherd Group.
00:43:09Oh, come on.
00:43:11Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:43:14Exactly.
00:43:15Come on, this is pathetic.
00:43:16You really think this is going to work?
00:43:17It's sad.
00:43:18Excellent.
00:43:20Thank you, Mr. Yates.
00:43:21That's all.
00:43:28Yes?
00:43:29What?
00:43:34Are you willing to submit the brand?
00:43:39Awesome.
00:43:44Hello?
00:43:45Yes.
00:43:47Wow.
00:43:48Yes, of course.
00:43:49Absolutely.
00:43:53This store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepherd.
00:43:58The Shepherd Group is the new owner.
00:44:00How may I be upstairs today, sir?
00:44:03Well, Laura, I don't know much about fashion.
00:44:06So I would like to give this brand to you.
00:44:08You can't be serious.
00:44:11You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:44:13Don't listen to her, Brian.
00:44:16You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.
00:44:19You're not welcome here.
00:44:21I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:27I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:30Of course.
00:44:33Oh, come on.
00:44:34Sir, ma'am, am I afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:44:36Well, we're not leaving, okay?
00:44:38Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:39This isn't over, Laura!
00:44:41Could I try the dress on now?
00:44:43Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:44:45You just follow me.
00:44:52Wow.
00:44:54Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.
00:45:00Laura, you look breathtaking in this race.
00:45:04Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:45:11All right.
00:45:13Because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.
00:45:16And that includes this dress.
00:45:22Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:45:26I need a moment.
00:45:29Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting.
00:45:35Does that mean it could be a yes?
00:45:38Maybe.
00:45:39Hi.
00:45:45Hi.
00:45:53Hi.
00:45:53Well, well, well, well, look who decided to join the party.
00:46:02Playing dress up again, Laura?
00:46:04One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:46:07And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:46:08You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone for this, this gold digger.
00:46:15You know, Ben, I really cared about you.
00:46:17Even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:46:21I knew the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:46:24Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:46:30Enough!
00:46:32I've had enough of this drama.
00:46:33Yeah, me too.
00:46:35Try that again, and you'll regret it.
00:46:38I'll get the hell on my face.
00:46:40Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:46:42Yeah.
00:46:45I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:46:48What? That's impossible.
00:46:51I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:46:55Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group, the name is on the list.
00:46:59It looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.
00:47:04You don't have an invitation. You're just here because of Brian.
00:47:11Let me see this. This doesn't even look real.
00:47:13It's different from mine.
00:47:15Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:20This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:47:25Please, right this way.
00:47:26We can continue this discussion later, if you manage to get in.
00:47:34Sir? Madam? We recommend you leave.
00:47:39There you are!
00:47:41How dare you steal my fiancƩ?
00:47:43Looks like another relationship bides the dust, Laura.
00:47:51Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours.
00:47:55Get away from him!
00:47:56He's engaged to me!
00:47:58Hey, hey, hey. Hold your horses, Gwen.
00:48:00That ended a long time ago.
00:48:02Engaged to you.
00:48:03Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:48:07Your relationship's history.
00:48:11That was just a little tiff.
00:48:12You really think that could tear us apart?
00:48:15Don't you know who I am?
00:48:18Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:48:20Oh, honey.
00:48:21She don't recognize royalty, let alone a duke.
00:48:24She's just a maid, remember?
00:48:26I don't have time for all this drama.
00:48:29Brian?
00:48:30Let's head inside.
00:48:33Brian!
00:48:34How could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:48:38Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:48:41There's nothing left to say, Gwen.
00:48:43Don't make this a scene.
00:48:45Shall we?
00:48:52You okay, Miss Duke?
00:48:54And you are?
00:48:55Amber Smith.
00:48:56I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:49:00What branch?
00:49:01I've never heard of it.
00:49:02What do you want from me?
00:49:03That Laura!
00:49:05She tore up my invitation.
00:49:06Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:08What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:49:12Please don't waste my time.
00:49:26If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:49:49The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:49:51Chloe, good to see you.
00:49:55I've been expecting you.
00:49:56Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:49:58Good.
00:50:00I need your help with something.
00:50:01What is it?
00:50:03Anything for my little Chloe.
00:50:05It's Brian.
00:50:06Who's that woman?
00:50:08I 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?
00:50:15Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:20Well, she's pretending to be a Lewis 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.
00:50:36Now, I had no idea she would be so...
00:50:41intense.
00:50:42What do you mean?
00:50:45You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:50:48I mean, you guys are just...
00:50:51Power couple.
00:50:53I see what you're doing.
00:50:55Power couple, you're saying?
00:50:58More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:51:03Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:51:05Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:51:09It's up there.
00:51:12Really?
00:51:13She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:51:15Excuse me.
00:51:16This is my VIP invitation.
00:51:19I can sit wherever I like.
00:51:21Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:51:24This is signed by all three VPs of Lewis 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.
00:51:36Laura 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?
00:51:48Miss 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.
00:51:58Not 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.
00:52:21Anyway.
00:52:28One more chance, Brian.
00:52:30Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:52:33Do it, Mr. Shepard.
00:52:34Propose right here, right now.
00:52:38Brian?
00:52:39Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:52:46By forcing a ring on someone?
00:52:49Do it, or 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.
00:53:07I like her.
00:53:10But I can't imagine someone like her interesting in me.
00:53:17The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:53:23Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:26Exactly.
00:53:27This woman is trouble.
00:53:28She doesn't belong here.
00:53:29Throw her out!
00:53:31You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?
00:53:36Interesting turn of events.
00:53:37Perhaps 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,
00:53:47that you're the missing heiress, Laura Lewis?
00:53:52You know what, maybe 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.
00:54:05How did 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.
00:54:18And 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 chick for her.
00:54:27What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:28I want to be careful, Brian.
00:54:30Don'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.
00:54:44Lewis Group RS, you?
00:54:51Don't make me laugh.
00:54:53Security, remove these two imposters from the premises.
00:54:58Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:54:59Give Brian another chance.
00:55:01Choose, Brian.
00:55:03Me and the future you deserve, or this fraud.
00:55:07I have everything I ever wanted right here.
00:55:15And I wouldn't trade for all the power that took so many.
00:55:19Fine.
00:55:25Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:26What?
00:55:29You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:32Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:33The Duke family, they can't be serious.
00:55:36Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:38Brian, you don't have to do this for me.
00:55:42Laura, now we will never let anyone bully you, let alone them.
00:55:48Thank you, Brian, for believing in me, for protecting me.
00:55:57Now it's my turn to protect you.
00:55:59Listen carefully.
00:56:07I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock at all costs.
00:56:13Don't let it drop even one cent.
00:56:17Do you understand?
00:56:19Wow.
00:56:21Award-winning performance, Laura.
00:56:23Laura.
00:56:23But you can't possibly control stock.
00:56:26Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:31If the Shepard stock holds for the next five minutes,
00:56:38you owe me a public apology.
00:56:48Do.
00:56:53Well, looks like your five minutes is up.
00:56:58Let's see how the Shepard Group stock is doing.
00:57:05What 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.
00:57:12Why 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.
00:57:28How did you do this?
00:57:30Like I said, Chloe,
00:57:33I'm Laura Lewis.
00:57:36No, you're not.
00:57:37You're just some cleaner.
00:57:38You don't have access to billions.
00:57:39Well, I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:50No, 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,
00:57:57would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:58:00Chloe, the truth is
00:58:03everyone here has seen you be a bully and a coward.
00:58:09And now, a sore loser.
00:58:13This is so humiliating for her.
00:58:17How did she manage that?
00:58:18Maybe she really is a Lewis.
00:58:21Apologize to Miss Lewis.
00:58:23Shut up.
00:58:24Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.
00:58:27Don't forget, the Duke family owned half of Maplewood.
00:58:30There you go with that, Miss.
00:58:31Let's get out of here.
00:58:35Hold on.
00:58:37This is where I belong.
00:58:40And that is my chair.
00:58:43You can't go there.
00:58:44That 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.
00:59:01I had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
00:59:04Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony
00:59:08between her ex and Mr. Shepherd, 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.
00:59:21What are you doing?
00:59:23Let go.
00:59:24It doesn't matter what happens.
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.
00:59:42And how exactly, Mr. Jones?
00:59:48Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
00:59:52Wait, that's Peter Young, director of business affairs at Lewis Group.
00:59:55Oh, it's Peter Young.
01:00:01He decides which investments 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.
01:00:13It's embarrassing.
01:00:14That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
01:00:17Specifically the family heir.
01:00:19Please 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.
01:00:51This is ridiculous.
01:00:55You, the Lewis heir, don'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 and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.
01:01:10Before that, I could see her in my family's supermarket.
01:01:14See, Brian?
01:01:16This is who you've been chasing after.
01:01:17A liar and a cheat.
01:01:19Security.
01:01:20Get 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, you 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?
01:01:42Get the escorpus imposter out of here. Now.
01:01:46Oh, Peter.
01:01:55Peter, do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:01:59Mr. Yates, I'm so glad you could join us.
01:02:04Miss 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.
01:02:14I've had the great company of my very loyal friend.
01:02:20Wait a minute.
01:02:21She's Miss Lewis. Is 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.
01:02:35And almost called the police.
01:02:39Tell 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.
01:02:59Right?
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.
01:03:21Maybe 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.
01:03:37Why don't you show that to everyone?
01:03:38Show us the ring.
01:03:39Show us the ring.
01:03:40Show us the ring.
01:03:41Who are you to make demands of me?
01:03:45I don't answer to anyone but myself.
01:03:47I don't need any of your validation.
01:03:55Oh, there's a ring.
01:04:00Vice President, I'm Chloe Duke of the Jude family.
01:04:04This woman is an imposter.
01:04:06Ms. 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 Ms. Lewis.
01:04:16She's the special guest we've been waiting for.
01:04:19The investment queen.
01:04:22The real heir to Lewis Group.
01:04:25Laura Lewis.
01:04:26She has a divorced host wife.
01:04:28A janitor.
01:04:29How can she?
01:04:29She can't be.
01:04:30It's a lie.
01:04:31I'm telling you, it's a lie.
01:04:33Do you think we'd lie?
01:04:35We run Lewis Group.
01:04:36Oh, Chloe.
01:04:39You assaulted me earlier.
01:04:42And 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, Ms. 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 Jews tricked us to keep
01:05:03Lewis Group out of Maplewoods
01:05:05and control everything themselves.
01:05:07I had no idea.
01:05:08But I'm on your side.
01:05:11I can give you everything you need.
01:05:13All the resources in Maplewood.
01:05:15Ms. Lewis.
01:05:16How would you like us to deal with this?
01:05:19An eye for an eye.
01:05:21Since Ms. Duke here loves ruining things,
01:05:31I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:05:35I want them bankrupt in 10 minutes.
01:05:39You're bluffing.
01:05:40You're nobody.
01:05:41You'll always be a nobody.
01:05:43And you can't touch me.
01:05:44Then 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
01:06:00with just the Shepard group?
01:06:02Please.
01:06:05We'll see.
01:06:06Dad?
01:06:13Slow down.
01:06:14What are you talking about?
01:06:17No.
01:06:19It's impossible.
01:06:20Chloe, 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.
01:06:53Are you sure it's just Shepard?
01:06:55Yes!
01:06:55Shareholders 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 masterstroke, Ms. Lewis.
01:07:16Now, this is my event.
01:07:21Please leave.
01:07:21Ryan, 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.
01:07:38If you don't want to ruin everything completely, you'll come with me right now.
01:07:43No.
01:07:44No.
01:07:45Right now.
01:07:46No.
01:07:47No.
01:07:47No.
01:07:48No.
01:07:48No.
01:07:49No.
01:07:49No.
01:07:50No.
01:07:50No.
01:07:51No.
01:07:51No.
01:07:52No.
01:07:52No.
01:07:53No.
01:07:53No.
01:07:54No.
01:07:54No.
01:07:55No.
01:07:55No.

01:14:22go shut your mouth!
01:14:27chloe! what have you done? you out of your mind?
01:14:29Out of my mind! You were the one that left me for that tram and destroyed my life!
01:14:34That's not true. You were the one who messed up!
01:14:37Brian!
01:14:38Laura!
01:14:41Stay where you are. You better come alone.
01:14:45Shut this knife, Chloe. This is insane!
01:14:48Insane? I did this for us, Brian! We were meant to be together.
01:14:54Us? You've gone crazy! And you're out of here!
01:14:58Chloe, the 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 you apart.
01:15:11Do you deserve him? What he does, you've destroyed my life, my company, everything!
01:15:19Now I'm going to destroy your life. Give me your family ring now.
01:15:25Give it to me! This is about the ring.
01:15:29Did 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?
01:15:40You, that little knife, or me, something a little bit more persuasive.
01:15:47Freeze! Don't move anyone! Don't move! You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.
01:15:53Miss Lewis, having fun without me? I'm hurt.
01:15:56Are you hurt? No, I'm okay.
01:16:00Tell me, Chloe. Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:16:03Why should I tell you? You're going to kill me anyway.
01:16:07Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:16:08But if you don't talk, your beloved Duke Industries will kill you.
01:16:13You're going to kill me anyway.
01:16:14Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:16:17But if you don't talk, your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:16:24Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:26So the choice is yours, Chloe. Talk, or face the consequences.
01:16:31Fine. It was Ian Lewis. He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the banker today.
01:16:52Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:16:54I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:56Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:17:05Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:17:18This is crazy.
01:17:19Are we really sure we can do this? All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:17:23Absolutely. The Lewis Group is under new leadership. We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:28Exactly. We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:17:32There's Ian Lewis now. You can introduce us. Let's go.
01:17:36Yeah.
01:17:37Hello, Ian Lewis. I'm Amber Smith. We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:42This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.
01:17:44How do you do?
01:17:45We're the company of-
01:17:46Yes, 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.
01:17:54Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:18:05The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:18:08Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:12A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:18:15Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group, Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:21Look, everybody, attention. Attention, please.
01:18:26There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:18:31I just got notice from a phone call a couple of minutes ago that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:18:38And tragically, she hasn't made it. She has not survived.
01:18:46What? Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:49It doesn't matter now. She's gone.
01:18:51Mr. Lewis, is this new-
01:18:53A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:18:56But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.
01:19:02Hold on!
01:19:03Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:07Laura!
01:19:12I don't understand. What's happening?
01:19:15Laura? But-
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 gotta stop this.
01:19:27If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:19:30I'll save the spots.
01:19:31Back off that spot.
01:19:33Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:19:40As I'm sure you know, tonight, I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:19:50So, perhaps you could make some room for me. Uncle Ian?
01:19:56Impossible! How are you still alive?
01:19:59Well, clearly I am alive and well. So, why don't we get this started?
01:20:03No, you're not the rightful heir. You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:20:09I married Ben Harrison.
01:20:12Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument that you have, that I got married too quickly?
01:20:17Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger,
01:20:21and left me to work tirelessly, keeping the company together.
01:20:25Uncle Ian, retire. Enjoy your retirement.
01:20:29Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:20:32No, there can only be one heir, and that's me.
01:20:36And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:20:41You think a ring makes an heir?
01:20:44You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:20:48Give that back to me.
01:20:50This?
01:20:51Yes.
01:20:52You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:20:56Give it back.
01:20:57True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you,
01:21:03not some stupid ring.
01:21:06Oh, my ring!
01:21:07What have you done? Where is it?
01:21:12My ring!
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.
01:21:28It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:30He said he helped you in distress if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:21:37Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr Lewis.
01:21:40Security, escort him out.
01:21:43And Ian, don't fall over.
01:21:45It's all lies.
01:21:46It's all lies.
01:21:47Fakery.
01:21:48It's fake news.
01:21:49The truth is clear.
01:21:50Get him out of here.
01:21:51Now.
01:21:52I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:21:59Turns out reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:22:05Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr Shepard by my side.
01:22:13And he has been a great support.
01:22:17Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:22:22I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:22:31Shepard Group.
01:22:32What?
01:22:33Laura, hold on.
01:22:34This was never my idea.
01:22:36This was all Cathy and Amber's fault.
01:22:38I don't want a divorce.
01:22:39What?
01:22:40Ben, what are you saying?
01:22:41You came to me first.
01:22:43Classic Ben.
01:22:44Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.
01:22:49Just don't shut Harrison Group out.
01:22:51Just give me another chance.
01:22:53How could I shut you out?
01:22:55I'm just a cleaner.
01:22:56Remember?
01:22:57I'm just a useless housewife.
01:22:59I don't have that power.
01:23:01What are you talking about?
01:23:04What?
01:23:05No, come on.
01:23:06Sorry.
01:23:07No, please.
01:23:08No.
01:23:09Um, Mr Shepard?
01:23:10Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:23:12I was wondering if...
01:23:15Maybe you wanted to grab dinner.
01:23:18Sometime.
01:23:20On me.
01:23:21Miss Lewis.
01:23:22I would love to.
01:23:26I would love to.
01:23:27I want to see you in the next episode.
01:23:29...
01:23:33Amen.
