00:00:00Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:10What the hell is going on here?
00:00:13Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:16Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do.
00:00:21Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:25They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:29Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:35Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunch time.
00:00:45Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:46Mr. Jason, excuse me ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:00:50Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.
00:00:57But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
00:01:05Do I know you?
00:01:09Wait, what are you doing?
00:01:12What are you doing?
00:01:13You can't do this, you're just a cleaner.
00:01:15Don't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:18This is incredible.
00:01:20What's going on?
00:01:22The shorting attempt.
00:01:23It's failing.
00:01:24The price is holding.
00:01:27Plus, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:30We met before.
00:01:31They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard Act.
00:01:33Hold on.
00:01:34Tell me.
00:01:35How could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:36If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:51Jason?
00:01:52Can we have five now?
00:01:53What are you doing?
00:01:54Mr. Yates?
00:01:55What, only two bodyguards this time?
00:01:56You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:01:57No, ma'am, I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:02:11Now, listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:22waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance
00:02:24as CEO of the Lewis Grill.
00:02:25Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here
00:02:28aren't finished.
00:02:29Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept
00:02:32your identity a secret and why you've married
00:02:34this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:35Look, today is Ben's birthday.
00:02:38Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:41Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:45Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:02:50Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let
00:02:54Toby walk you up to the house, for my sake.
00:03:06Divorce papers, sign it.
00:03:16Why?
00:03:17You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:19The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now,
00:03:22especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:03:26The Shepherd Group.
00:03:27And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:03:31The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:03:35I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:37I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:41You, a cleaning woman, handing out million dollar deals.
00:03:46Don't make me laugh.
00:03:47Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:03:49I did.
00:03:51It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:53I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:57What are you doing here?
00:03:59Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:03Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:06Local royalty.
00:04:09A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:11And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:04:14Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it, Ben?
00:04:20What's going on?
00:04:21Is this why you want a divorce?
00:04:22Because of her?
00:04:23Oh, please.
00:04:24I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:04:25You're still a cleaner.
00:04:26We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:27Growing apart?
00:04:28No.
00:04:29No.
00:04:30I won't sign any agreement then.
00:04:31I won't sign.
00:04:32Huh.
00:04:33Money is a motivator.
00:04:34Isn't it?
00:04:35Ben.
00:04:36All right.
00:04:37Here.
00:04:38100,000 dollars.
00:04:39Open up a small shop, or something like that.
00:04:40100,000 dollars.
00:04:42I was the one that helped you.
00:04:43I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:45I won't sign any agreement then.
00:04:46What?
00:04:47I won't sign any agreement then.
00:04:48Why the deadline is still a good one?
00:04:49I won't sign any agreement then.
00:04:50I won't sign any agreement then.
00:04:52I won't sign any agreement then.
00:04:54I won't sign.
00:04:55Huh.
00:04:56Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:57Ben.
00:04:58All right.
00:04:59Here.
00:05:00A hundred thousand dollars.
00:05:01was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:06Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:09Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:11You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:14This is our active charity tool.
00:05:16Here, a million dollars. Take this.
00:05:19You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:21Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:24I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this
00:05:30since none of you respect me.
00:05:35A cleaning lady threatening us.
00:05:37I'm so scared.
00:05:39Just leave. You already make this house stink.
00:05:49Thank God she's gone.
00:05:51Go to the written store.
00:05:55Sir?
00:05:57Laura Lewis' information.
00:06:00She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:06:04No wonder why she wants to part with him.
00:06:06Actually, sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:09Divorce her?
00:06:11Wait a minute.
00:06:13Don't you remember?
00:06:15She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:20Yeah, she's saved our hiding now.
00:06:23Remember?
00:06:24Remember?
00:06:24Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract to?
00:06:29I don't know.
00:06:31Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:06:34Hey, what are you doing?
00:06:38Let go of me.
00:06:39You attacked Amber.
00:06:41Apologize this instant.
00:06:45Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:47We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:06:49You refused it.
00:06:50And now you're stealing.
00:06:52She couldn't afford it.
00:06:53You're a thief.
00:06:54That's mine.
00:07:02Give it back.
00:07:03That's enough.
00:07:04I'm sorry.
00:07:06Laura?
00:07:08I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:11It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:18You see, it's...
00:07:19Who are you?
00:07:20Laura's new squeeze.
00:07:22Excuse me.
00:07:23Do you know who I am?
00:07:24Is this true?
00:07:25You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:07:27Shame on you!
00:07:29Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:30For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:07:33I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:35Oh, please.
00:07:36A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:40You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:43That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:48That's ridiculous.
00:07:49He doesn't look like that.
00:07:51My ring.
00:07:53Jason, get it back to Mr. Lewis.
00:07:54Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:58Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:08:01Now.
00:08:01Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:08:02Who the heck is this man?
00:08:04Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:06It's all right, ma'am.
00:08:08This is none of your business.
00:08:09All brown dead bodies.
00:08:11You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.
00:08:14We are the Harrisons.
00:08:15You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:18Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:08:20Now go back.
00:08:21What?
00:08:22Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:08:24That's a lie.
00:08:25Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.
00:08:27You come back here and explain yourself.
00:08:29Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.
00:08:34Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:39Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:44I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:47After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:51No.
00:08:52Um.
00:08:53No.
00:08:54The event will proceed.
00:08:56Besides, I'll be there.
00:09:01There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:05Who are you, truly?
00:09:06You'll find out.
00:09:09Mr. Shepard.
00:09:10Um.
00:09:11Can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:16Mr. Yates.
00:09:17I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners.
00:09:23And we're going to have a meeting.
00:09:24An investment meeting.
00:09:26One week from today.
00:09:27Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:33Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:39Oh, excellent, Miss Lewis.
00:09:41I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:44Ben Harrison.
00:09:47You're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:51After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:02Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:06Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:08Security!
00:10:09Get that woman out of here!
00:10:11We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:10:13Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:15This is a business event, after all.
00:10:17Business?
00:10:19You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:10:20A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:10:24Just get out!
00:10:25Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:28You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:31Oh, Ben.
00:10:32Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:36Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:38Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:39You don't belong here.
00:10:42Just get out!
00:10:47That's what you get.
00:10:50This contract is mine.
00:10:57To give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:00Don't be ridiculous.
00:11:02This is insane.
00:11:03Who do you think you are?
00:11:04Yeah, put that down.
00:11:05You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:07Security!
00:11:08She's lost a mind.
00:11:09This is a disaster!
00:11:10Ben.
00:11:11This contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't
00:11:18deserve 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?
00:11:47You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:49Oh, please, honey.
00:11:50You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:53Security!
00:11:53Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:56I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:12:00And after careful consideration, I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working
00:12:07with the Shepherds.
00:12:07You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've
00:12:12done?
00:12:13You have no authority here.
00:12:14Of course she has the authority.
00:12:23That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:12:25What is he doing here?
00:12:26Mr. Shepard?
00:12:27How does he know her?
00:12:28Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:31Laura, are you all right?
00:12:34Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.
00:12:37There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:40There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:42This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.
00:12:47Effective immediately.
00:12:49Wait a minute.
00:12:51This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:53It's her.
00:12:54She ruined the contract.
00:12:56You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:57An affair?
00:12:58She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:13:03Mom, please, it's okay.
00:13:04This man is...
00:13:05Don't touch me.
00:13:07That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone,
00:13:10has an affair, and you just stand there?
00:13:12You're a disgrace.
00:13:13An adulterer.
00:13:14You deserve to be around.
00:13:15Shut up.
00:13:19Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess,
00:13:22but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:13:25Tricked?
00:13:25Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?
00:13:30What was my name before we got married?
00:13:34Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:36Lewis group?
00:13:38The financial giants?
00:13:40There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:43That's crazy.
00:13:45There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:49That's absurd.
00:13:50It's...
00:13:50It's...
00:13:51It's absurd!
00:13:54A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:13:57Yeah, it's a lie.
00:13:59It's a lie.
00:13:59This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:14:02In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:14:04She's nothing special.
00:14:07She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:09I was just a waitress.
00:14:12How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:14First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.
00:14:17Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:14:19When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:22Mm-hmm.
00:14:22Now look at me.
00:14:24I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:26And look at her.
00:14:27Still just a clear.
00:14:29Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:32She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:35She's lying, Mr. Shepard.
00:14:37She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:42Let's make something clear.
00:14:45I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:49I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:55Don't lie.
00:14:57You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:14:59Oops.
00:14:59That roof was built with lies.
00:15:03Kathy, you never respected me.
00:15:05And Ben?
00:15:07Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:10And the cheating.
00:15:12I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:15:14You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:15:20If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy.
00:15:27Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:30From everything.
00:15:32Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:15:37Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:39And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:41I don't think so.
00:15:42You're a cleaner.
00:15:44You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:46Nobody cares about you.
00:15:47Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:51I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
00:16:01Now, I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:16:03I think all jobs are important.
00:16:05Right, Mom?
00:16:06Ben, what are you doing?
00:16:08But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:16:13A janitor.
00:16:14Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:23You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:29Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:16:31This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:36I, but, well...
00:16:38A lie, you say?
00:16:39Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:16:43But I don't recognize you.
00:16:46Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:49Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:53This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:57But the contract?
00:16:58I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:17:00So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:05Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:07Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis involved.
00:17:11I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:18Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:21Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:28Miss Smith, you lied to us.
00:17:31You destroyed everything.
00:17:32What?
00:17:33No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:17:35I can explain.
00:17:37Lewis?
00:17:38Lewis Family Group?
00:17:39This can't be.
00:17:41Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:43Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:48Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:52And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:18:00Everyone, listen to me.
00:18:02Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
00:18:06A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:13The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:15Listen, everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:20Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:30Help!
00:18:32Mom!
00:18:32Someone get a doctor!
00:18:34Mom!
00:18:34It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:40Indeed.
00:18:42Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:45What?
00:18:56What now?
00:18:57Mom, this is not all on me.
00:19:00Not on you?
00:19:01I was trying to help.
00:19:04She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:19:06Flaunted their affair.
00:19:07Exactly.
00:19:09And those dresses?
00:19:10Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:19:13Miss Smith.
00:19:14How could you do this?
00:19:16We trusted you completely.
00:19:18No, no.
00:19:19I got Ben the deal.
00:19:21I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.
00:19:24She's a liar.
00:19:26Oh, stop it, Amber.
00:19:27You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:19:30Lied?
00:19:31You're on my side.
00:19:33And anyways, I have a plan.
00:19:36The Shepards are no one special.
00:19:37We can expose Laura in all her lies.
00:19:40Go national.
00:19:42We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:45Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to you.
00:19:49Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:19:57Thank you as well for standing up with me first.
00:20:00It's all right, Laura.
00:20:01You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:20:04Can I ask you something?
00:20:05Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:20:07Maybe a hotel?
00:20:08Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:10I'll be fine.
00:20:13Excuse me, you can just drop me off.
00:20:14Actually, Laura, actually.
00:20:16Laura, there is something else.
00:20:19Would you consider to go out for dinner sometime?
00:20:21Just casually, of course.
00:20:23Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:20:27Please, call me Brian.
00:20:30And yes, technically you're single now.
00:20:35Yes, that may be true, but...
00:20:37Going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:20:46Proper?
00:20:47Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:20:52Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:20:56Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:21:00So what do you say?
00:21:01Dinner?
00:21:03Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:07I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:21:11I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't get out.
00:21:15Wait, Laura.
00:21:15Just here is fine.
00:21:19Laura?
00:21:25Laura, who is it?
00:21:27Laura, wait!
00:21:27Jason, find out who owns that car and do it fast.
00:21:33Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:21:43It's Amber Smith.
00:21:45Mr. Lewis?
00:21:46I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:51I don't know who you are, Miss Smith.
00:21:54How did you get this number?
00:21:55Laura, don't worry about that right now.
00:21:58I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:22:01Someone I know very well.
00:22:04Impersonating my niece?
00:22:06And where is this fake Laura?
00:22:10Right here in Maplewood.
00:22:12And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:16Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:22:19And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:22:24In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:22:29I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:22:31All will be revealed then.
00:22:33Very well.
00:22:35I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.
00:22:38But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:22:41It won't be.
00:22:42Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:22:44Thank you, Mr.
00:22:45That little rascal, Laura.
00:22:54I wonder what she's up to now.
00:22:59That car belongs to Mr. Yeats.
00:23:01The Lewis family bubler.
00:23:04Oh.
00:23:06Lewis family?
00:23:08That's interesting.
00:23:10Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:23:13I'm not sure.
00:23:14Brian.
00:23:16Brian!
00:23:17There you are.
00:23:19I've missed you.
00:23:20Chloe.
00:23:22What are you up to?
00:23:23Chloe.
00:23:23What are you doing here?
00:23:25What do you mean?
00:23:27Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:29We ended things for a reason.
00:23:31It was just one teensy mistake.
00:23:33I was...
00:23:34I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:36Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:38Teensy mistake, you said?
00:23:39You cheated on me.
00:23:45Is this your new fling?
00:23:47Ex-divorcey.
00:23:49Used to clean floor.
00:23:51It's quite the catch, you say.
00:23:53Look, my relationship with her is none of your business.
00:23:57And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:24:00Please.
00:24:02An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:24:06It's a classic story.
00:24:07That's enough.
00:24:09I've got the hell out of my office.
00:24:11You want to be careful, Brian.
00:24:13Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:15If you want Shepard Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.
00:24:24Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:33This is it.
00:24:34The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.
00:24:37Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:42I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:45Well, well, well.
00:24:48Look who it is.
00:24:49What a surprise.
00:24:51Did Brian teach you already?
00:24:53That's none of your business.
00:24:56Now, move aside, please.
00:24:57Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
00:25:01You really think you can just ruin my events again?
00:25:03Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:25:04Don't you have any shame?
00:25:06If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:25:10Oh, the nurse.
00:25:11After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?
00:25:16Seriously?
00:25:17I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:22Oh, that's gold.
00:25:23You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?
00:25:26Please, you're no one compared to me.
00:25:28You don't deserve to be here.
00:25:29The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:25:35And you, idiot.
00:25:37Believing every lie that she tells you.
00:25:39Wake up, Ben.
00:25:40Oh, Laura!
00:25:42Laura, come on.
00:25:43Why do you always pull this on me?
00:25:45I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:25:49I know what this is.
00:25:50So stupid.
00:25:53Oh, shut your trap.
00:25:55Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:25:57He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:26:01Yeah.
00:26:01Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.
00:26:04And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:26:08Well, before you all start celebrating,
00:26:12why don't you take a look at this?
00:26:15Oh, that's rich.
00:26:20You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.
00:26:23I 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?
00:26:33Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:35Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:26:40And besides, this looks fake.
00:26:43She's a liar.
00:26:45This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:50It grants me access to the VIP elevator,
00:26:52which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.
00:26:54She's lying.
00:26:56They 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?
00:27:08She's lying.
00:27:10There you have it, Laura.
00:27:11Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:27:13Go on, get lost before things get worse.
00:27:18Here, take this one.
00:27:20Lead me to the vice president's.
00:27:22You have no idea what you just did.
00:27:27There will be consequences.
00:27:29Besides, 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!
00:27:42Security!
00:27:43Security!
00:27:43We need this woman removed immediately.
00:27:44She is harassing me.
00:27:45We're done with your games, Laura.
00:27:47You're just a fraud.
00:27:48Man, place with you.
00:27:49What?
00:27:50Hold on!
00:27:50Brian Shepard?
00:27:56You think money buys you the right to walk all over people?
00:27:59Well, it doesn't.
00:28:00Yeah.
00:28:00Wasn'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.
00:28:11We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:28:13How long has this little affair been going on?
00:28:16You've been sleeping with her since she was married to 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, get down here ASAP.
00:28:32We have a situation.
00:28:33What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?
00:28:36Is that it?
00:28:36We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:39Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.
00:28:41How 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.
00:28:49These 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?
00:28:56Nonsense.
00:28:57I personally greeted Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:29:01Exactly.
00:29:03Lewis Group, my company,
00:29:06has some major investments planned here, in Maplewood.
00:29:10I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:29:14No, 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.
00:29:20She's insane.
00:29:21Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.
00:29:26She helped secure a profitable investment for Sheppard Group.
00:29:30No, it's a lie.
00:29:32Mr. Sheppard, 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, is that why you'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, and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:29:55Enough of this.
00:29:56She's right there.
00:29:57That's enough.
00:29:58Have you embarrassed yourself enough?
00:29:59Yeah.
00:29:59This is Lewis Group property.
00:30:01Behave or I'll call security.
00:30:03But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access.
00:30:07She shouldn't be here.
00:30:09Since you're having trouble understanding them, let me make it clear.
00:30:13This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.
00:30:17It's mine to come or go as I please.
00:30:21Thank you for stepping in, Brian.
00:30:27I owe you one.
00:30:29We'll talk about this later.
00:30:32Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harris.
00:30:41Excuse me.
00:30:42What do you think we're going to have a seat?
00:30:43Come in.
00:30:46Excuse me, Vice Presidents.
00:30:48I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.
00:30:53I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today.
00:30:56Maplewood Branch.
00:30:58Our 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.
00:31:16Oh, expansion plans.
00:31:19Miss Smith, a decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:31:24And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.
00:31:28But Ian Lewis assured me that...
00:31:31Miss Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.
00:31:35Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.
00:31:38Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...
00:31:41Miss Smith, we'd like you to leave.
00:31:43If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:44Miss Smith, we'd like you to leave.
00:31:50Hey, stop there.
00:31:51This elevator is a VIP only.
00:31:54Back, please.
00:31:55Of course.
00:31:56My apologies.
00:32:03Laura?
00:32:06Vice Presidents!
00:32:08It's so good to see all of you again.
00:32:11Miss Lewis, it's been too long.
00:32:13Your return is a lifesaver, Miss Lewis.
00:32:16The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:32:23The board are begging you to come back, Miss Lewis.
00:32:27Well, please sit.
00:32:29Yes, 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.
00:32:39Local powerhouses and smaller players, too.
00:32:43They'll all be there in one spot.
00:32:45Miss Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.
00:32:50She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.
00:32:56She said that, did she?
00:32:58Well, Miss Smith is a liar.
00:33:00There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:33:04She lied so blatantly.
00:33:05It was unbelievable.
00:33:07Bob, don't worry.
00:33:09I found a much more suitable partner.
00:33:13Shepherd Group.
00:33:14Shepherd Group?
00:33:16Their rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:33:18Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:22So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:33:26Oh, don't worry about Amber.
00:33:30I've got plans for her.
00:33:34Miss Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the magic from us.
00:33:44Cheers.
00:33:44Cheers.
00:33:48No, I'm not leaving.
00:33:56What are you talking about?
00:33:57No, come on.
00:33:58Wait!
00:33:58I'm Amber Smith.
00:34:00I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch.
00:34:01What are you doing?
00:34:02These are my guests.
00:34:03Yeah, that's right.
00:34:03Tell them who we are.
00:34:04Yes, we were waiting for Miss Smith.
00:34:08Lewis Group, Maplewood branch?
00:34:10No such thing, ma'am.
00:34:11And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:34:14Of course.
00:34:16Laura!
00:34:16Laura, she's probably sleeping with the manager as well.
00:34:19That's how she gets away with everything.
00:34:21You underestimate her, Kathy.
00:34:23She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.
00:34:26No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:34:29Careful with your words.
00:34:31Both of you.
00:34:32Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:35Look who can't even get into a meeting.
00:34:40Whilst I've secured three with all the vice presidents.
00:34:43And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:34:47Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:34:49Used me?
00:34:50Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:54You're so stupid.
00:34:55She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:34:58Don't worry, Brian.
00:35:00You deserve better.
00:35:01And let's not forget.
00:35:03I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:35:05Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:35:10New branch manager, huh?
00:35:13Interesting.
00:35:14Laura Lewis?
00:35:15What are you doing here?
00:35:16Get out of here!
00:35:17You claim to be the mystery guest.
00:35:20Don't play games, Laura.
00:35:22I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:35:26Only the top companies get those.
00:35:29Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:35:31Is that so?
00:35:33Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:35:38You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.
00:35:43And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:35:48Escort them out.
00:35:49What?
00:35:50Their visit is over.
00:35:51Oh, come on.
00:35:52This way, please.
00:35:54I'm not leaving.
00:35:56Move.
00:35:57We're not leaving again.
00:35:58Move.
00:35:58Oh, no, no, no.
00:35:59We're not going now.
00:36:00Okay, go on, go on.
00:36:01This isn't over, Laura.
00:36:02You'll see.
00:36:06Thanks for waiting, bud.
00:36:09Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:13And thank you for defending me.
00:36:17I really appreciate it.
00:36:21Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:25Yes, but it's going to be tricky.
00:36:31Why?
00:36:31I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:36:34Yes, Laura.
00:36:40There's something you should know.
00:36:43Is this about Ben?
00:36:46Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.
00:36:50He won't even get past security.
00:36:52Laura, it's not Ben.
00:36:54It's someone else.
00:36:59Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:37:04Yes.
00:37:06Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:37:09She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:37:11She's my ex-fiancé.
00:37:16And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:37:21And, let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:37:26And, for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.
00:37:34And, you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting for...
00:37:40Out of jealousy?
00:37:47There's a possibility.
00:37:48She's kind of jealous.
00:37:51Well, all the more reason for you to be there.
00:37:56So, I'll be there too.
00:38:01It's...
00:38:02Laura.
00:38:04Would you consider being, I guess, at the meeting?
00:38:07What?
00:38:08Are you worried that this Chloe's going to cause problems for me, too?
00:38:12Maybe a little.
00:38:14But, mostly, I want to show them we're a team.
00:38:18Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.
00:38:24Laura.
00:38:28I don't care about your best.
00:38:31I just want to be by your side.
00:38:33I think I'm falling for you.
00:38:38Brian.
00:38:44I...
00:38:45I appreciate your honesty.
00:38:48And, right now, I'm just not...
00:38:51I...
00:38:52I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:38:55Just with everything going on.
00:38:58And going on.
00:38:59I just want to be up front.
00:39:04And if Glantra is anything,
00:39:06you won't face her alone.
00:39:11There's just one thing I do need.
00:39:16What is it?
00:39:18A formal dress.
00:39:19Oh, security!
00:39:32She doesn't belong here.
00:39:34This is a private store.
00:39:36Excuse me.
00:39:37We need some assistance.
00:39:39I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:39:41Oh, it's...
00:39:43Wow.
00:39:45It's beautiful.
00:39:47It is.
00:39:48I'll try this one on.
00:39:50Don't bother with her.
00:39:51She can't afford anything here.
00:39:53She's just a cleaner.
00:39:54She doesn't deserve to shop here.
00:39:56She has no money.
00:39:59Yeah, exactly.
00:40:00I mean, what are you doing here?
00:40:01Can't you just leave me alone?
00:40:03I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared.
00:40:06I'm here for retail therapy.
00:40:07Oh, please.
00:40:10This store's for the A-list only.
00:40:12Not some cheapskate like you.
00:40:14Says the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:40:16Hey, show some respect.
00:40:19Typical Laura.
00:40:20Just thinks she can buy anything she wants
00:40:22with someone else's money.
00:40:24I would have asked you,
00:40:25but without me,
00:40:26I'm sure you're already booked.
00:40:28Oh, please.
00:40:29Come on, we'll take the dress.
00:40:30Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:40:33Uh, what do you mean you don't sell it?
00:40:36I want it.
00:40:36Name your price.
00:40:38It's not about the price, ma'am.
00:40:40This one was custom-made for Miss Lewis,
00:40:42the Lewis Group heiress.
00:40:43The entire brand belongs to her.
00:40:45This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.
00:40:50It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:40:52What are you talking about?
00:40:53Of course it would suit her.
00:40:54It'd fit her just fine.
00:40:56And if it wouldn't fit me,
00:40:57it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:41:00Well, buying the whole store,
00:41:01allow me to purchase this dress.
00:41:06Oh, please.
00:41:09Don'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.
00:41:16You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:41:19Could you please tell me more about this dress?
00:41:22Of course.
00:41:22It was custom-made for Laura Lewis,
00:41:26heiress to the Lewis Group Fortune,
00:41:28hand-stitched in Italy, naturally.
00:41:31And apparently there are many more like it this year.
00:41:34High-end stores and museums around the world
00:41:37from her private collection.
00:41:39Laura,
00:41:40do you like this dress?
00:41:42Of course.
00:41:43It's custom-made for me.
00:41:45I'm just here to take what's already mine.
00:41:48Oh, you can't be serious.
00:41:50There must be millions of Laura Lewis's
00:41:52out there in the world.
00:41:53Fine, fine.
00:41:54If it's not for sale,
00:41:56can't I at least try it on?
00:41:57It would look incredible on me.
00:41:59Miss,
00:42:00this dress is very delicate.
00:42:02If I may be frank,
00:42:04I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:42:07Are you calling me fat?
00:42:08Actually,
00:42:09on a second thought,
00:42:11why don't we just buy the whole brand?
00:42:13How's that sound?
00:42:15Sir, are you serious?
00:42:16You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:42:20This brand is worth at least $50 million.
00:42:23And to buy it for a waitress?
00:42:26Are you out of your mind?
00:42:27Yes.
00:42:28You see,
00:42:28even if you had the money,
00:42:30they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:42:31Just one second.
00:42:34Yes,
00:42:35this is Brian Shepard,
00:42:37CEO of Shepard Group.
00:42:38I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:42:40I'm interested in purchasing your high-fashion brand.
00:42:47What?
00:42:50Sorry, sir.
00:42:51That brand is not for sale.
00:42:54You see,
00:42:55if we can't have it,
00:42:56neither can you.
00:42:59Mr. Yates,
00:43:01yes,
00:43:01this is Laura Lewis.
00:43:04I'm calling to discuss the sale
00:43:05of our high-end clothing brand
00:43:07to Shepard Group.
00:43:10Oh, come on.
00:43:11Calling the Lewis family butler
00:43:13won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:43:15Exactly.
00:43:15Come on,
00:43:16this is pathetic.
00:43:16You really think this is going to work?
00:43:18It's sad.
00:43:18Excellent.
00:43:20Thank you,
00:43:21Mr. Yates.
00:43:22That's all.
00:43:29Yes?
00:43:29What?
00:43:35Are you willing to sell me the brand?
00:43:39Awesome.
00:43:44Hello?
00:43:46Yes?
00:43:47Wow.
00:43:48Yes, of course.
00:43:50Absolutely.
00:43:54This store,
00:43:55along with the entire brand,
00:43:57has been sold to Mr. Shepard.
00:43:58The Shepard Group
00:44:00is the new owner.
00:44:01How may I be up serious today, sir?
00:44:03Well,
00:44:04Lauren,
00:44:05I don't know much about pressure,
00:44:07so I would like to give
00:44:08this brand to you.
00:44:10You can't be serious.
00:44:12You don't have the kind of money
00:44:13to buy this store.
00:44:14Don't listen to her,
00:44:15Brian.
00:44:17You two,
00:44:18just go do whatever you do
00:44:19somewhere else.
00:44:20You're not welcome here.
00:44:21I want the two of these
00:44:22out of my store.
00:44:24I want the two of these
00:44:29out of my store.
00:44:30Of course.
00:44:33Oh, come on.
00:44:34Sir?
00:44:35Ma'am?
00:44:35You're afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:44:37Well, we're not leaving.
00:44:38Okay?
00:44:38Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:40This isn't over, Laura!
00:44:42Could I try the dress on now?
00:44:43Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:44:45You just follow me.
00:44:46Wow.
00:44:54Miss Lewis,
00:44:56this dress really was made for you.
00:45:00Laura,
00:45:01you look
00:45:02breath-taking in this dress.
00:45:04Brian,
00:45:05why would you do
00:45:07all of this
00:45:09for me?
00:45:11Laura,
00:45:13you guys who deserve
00:45:15everything beautiful
00:45:16in the world.
00:45:18And that includes
00:45:19this dress.
00:45:23Will you give us a chance
00:45:24to see where things could go?
00:45:27I...
00:45:27I need a moment.
00:45:30Perhaps we could
00:45:31talk some more about this
00:45:32after the investment meeting?
00:45:36Does that mean
00:45:36it could be a yes?
00:45:38Maybe.
00:45:39Hi.
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?
00:46:04One more
00:46:05disrespectful remark
00:46:06towards Laura,
00:46:06Miss Smith.
00:46:07And you understand
00:46:08the meaning of rude.
00:46:09You threatening
00:46:10my girlfriend
00:46:11in front of everyone
00:46:12for this?
00:46:13Miss Gold Digger.
00:46:15You know, Ben,
00:46:16I really cared about you
00:46:18even after all
00:46:19the horrible things
00:46:20you said to me
00:46:20after our divorce.
00:46:21I know the name
00:46:22of a great psychologist
00:46:24in New York.
00:46:25Maybe the shrinks
00:46:26in Maplewood
00:46:27aren't equipped
00:46:28to deal with your issues.
00:46:31Enough!
00:46:32I've had enough
00:46:33of this drama.
00:46:34Yeah, me too.
00:46:35Try that again
00:46:36and you'll regret it.
00:46:38Now, get the hell
00:46:39out of my face.
00:46:40Let's see if you two
00:46:41even make it past the door.
00:46:43Yeah.
00:46:45I'm sorry, Miss Smith,
00:46:47but your name's
00:46:47not on the guest list.
00:46:48What?
00:46:49That's impossible.
00:46:51I was invited
00:46:52by the CEO himself.
00:46:56Unfortunately,
00:46:57neither Harrison Group
00:46:58or Smith Group
00:46:59with names on the list.
00:47:00What?
00:47:01It looks like you two
00:47:02won't be getting let in
00:47:03after all.
00:47:04You don't have
00:47:05an invitation.
00:47:06You're just here
00:47:07because of Brian.
00:47:12Let me see this.
00:47:13This doesn't even look real.
00:47:14It's different from mine.
00:47:16Why don't you ask her
00:47:17if 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.
00:47:27We can continue
00:47:28this discussion later
00:47:29if you manage to get in.
00:47:30Sir, Madam,
00:47:36we recommend you leave.
00:47:40There you are!
00:47:41How dare you
00:47:42steal my fiancée!
00:47:45There you are!
00:47:47How dare you
00:47:48steal my fiancée!
00:47:49Looks like another
00:47:50relationship fights
00:47:51the dust, Laura.
00:47:53Looks like stealing men
00:47:54is a hobby of yours.
00:47:56Get away from him!
00:47:56He's engaged to me!
00:47:58Hey, hey, hey.
00:47:59Hold your horses, Clay.
00:48:01That ended a 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 history.
00:48:11That was just a little tiff.
00:48:13You really think
00:48:13that could tear us apart?
00:48:16Don'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.
00:48:30Brian?
00:48:31Let's head inside.
00:48:33Brian!
00:48:34How could you choose
00:48:35this cleaner
00:48:36over me?
00:48:38Are you really
00:48:39going to humiliate me
00:48:40in front of all of Maplewood?
00:48:42There's nothing left
00:48:43to say, Gloria.
00:48:43Don't make this a scene.
00:48:45Shall we?
00:48:48Oh.
00:48:52You okay, Miss Duke?
00:48:53And you are?
00:48:56Amber Smith.
00:48:58I'm the Maplewood branch
00:48:59manager of Lewis Group.
00:49:01What branch?
00:49:01I've never heard of it.
00:49:02What do you want from me?
00:49:04That Laura!
00:49:05She tore up my invitation.
00:49:07Do you think
00:49:07you can get me inside?
00:49:09What, your little manager title
00:49:10couldn't get you
00:49:11past the front door?
00:49:13Please don't waste my time.
00:49:14Mom, I love you.
00:49:23Hey!
00:49:24Hey!
00:49:27Ah.
00:49:28Oh, my.
00:49:28Hi.
00:49:30Hi.
00:49:30Bye.
00:49:31Bye.
00:49:31Bye.
00:49:31Bye.
00:49:37Bye.
00:49:40If 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.
00:50:06It's Brian.
00:50:07Who's that woman?
00:50:09I thought you were...
00:50:10She's a con woman.
00:50:12She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:15What?
00:50:16Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:21She'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.
00:50:33Anyway, I'm terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:36No, I had no idea she would be so...
00:50:40In this?
00:50:44What 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.
00:50:54I see what you're doing.
00:50:56Power couple, you say?
00:50:57More 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.
00:51:22Hey, 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?
00:51:30Who 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?
00:51:45Mr. 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.
00:51:56What more could you ask for?
00:51:58That's a good question.
00:52:00Not much, actually.
00:52:02Honesty?
00:52:03That's what I want.
00:52:06And love.
00:52:08Things 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.
00:52:25One more chance, Brian.
00:52:27Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:52:30Do it, Mr. Shepard.
00:52:32Propose.
00:52:33Right here.
00:52:34Right now.
00:52:36Brian?
00:52:39Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:52:43By forcing a ring on someone?
00:52:47Do it.
00:52:48Or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:52:56Don't you dare.
00:52:58You humiliate yourself.
00:53:01Dare you?
00:53:02Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:53:05Yes.
00:53:07I like her.
00:53:10But I can't imagine someone like her interesting in me.
00:53:12The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:53:20Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:22I don't know.
00:53:23I don't know.
00:53:23I don't know.
00:53:24I don't know.
00:53:24I don't know.
00:53:25I don't know.
00:53:25I don't know.
00:53:25I don't know.
00:53:26I don't know.
00:53:26I don't know.
00:53:26I don't know.
00:53:27I don't know.
00:53:27I don't know.
00:53:28I don't know.
00:53:29I don't know.
00:53:30I don't know.
00:53:31I don't know.
00:53:31I don't know.
00:53:32I don't know.
00:53:33I don't know.
00:53:34I don't know.
00:53:35I don't know.
00:53:36I don't know.
00:53:37I don't know.
00:53:38There's some light on your mysterious past.
00:53:40Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura that you're the missing
00:53:46heiress, Laura Lewis?
00:53:48One more chance, Brian.
00:53:50You're right, Chloe.
00:53:52How ridiculous.
00:53:54Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:53:56I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow, did I underestimate your foolishness,
00:54:06Chloe.
00:54:07You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.
00:54:10That's enough.
00:54:11You don't get to talk here.
00:54:12You got mad, Shepard.
00:54:14You dare to go against Miss Duke.
00:54:16And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:54:18Anyone who insults Laura.
00:54:21Leaves with a black eye.
00:54:23She's willing to defend the Duke for her.
00:54:25What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:26I want to be careful, Brian.
00:54:28Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:54:32Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:54:35The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone.
00:54:39Especially not Shepard Group.
00:54:45Lewis Group RS?
00:54:48You?
00:54:49Don't make me laugh.
00:54:51Security, remove these two imposters from the premises.
00:54:55Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:54:57Give Brian another chance.
00:54:59Choose, Brian.
00:55:01Me and the future you deserve.
00:55:02Or this...
00:55:03Fraud.
00:55:05Chloe.
00:55:08I have everything I ever wanted.
00:55:11Right here.
00:55:13And I wouldn't trade for all the powers that took so many.
00:55:15I would.
00:55:16Fine.
00:55:23Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:24What?
00:55:27You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:29Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:31The Juke family.
00:55:32They can't be serious.
00:55:34The Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:35Brian.
00:55:37You don't have to do this for me.
00:55:40Laura.
00:55:42Now we'll never let anyone bully you.
00:55:44Let alone them.
00:55:46Thank you, Brian.
00:55:48For...
00:55:48For believing in me.
00:55:51For...
00:55:51Protecting me.
00:55:53Now it's my turn to protect you.
00:56:03Listen carefully.
00:56:05I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock at all costs.
00:56:10Don't let it drop.
00:56:13Even one cent.
00:56:15Do you understand?
00:56:17Wow.
00:56:18Award winning performance, Laura.
00:56:21But you can't possibly control the stock market.
00:56:23Do you want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:28If the Shepard stock holds for the next five minutes,
00:56:37you owe me a public apology.
00:56:45Do.
00:56:46Well, looks like your five minutes is up.
00:56:56Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
00:57:02What the?
00:57:04The Shepard group stock prices?
00:57:06It's going up.
00:57:07This can't be happening.
00:57:09It must be a coincidence.
00:57:09Why didn't you show up the stock like I asked?
00:57:19There was a huge investment.
00:57:21We couldn't compete.
00:57:22Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:25How did you do this?
00:57:27Like I said, Chloe.
00:57:31I'm Laura Lewis.
00:57:34No, you're not.
00:57:35You're just some cleaner.
00:57:36You don't have access to billions.
00:57:38Well.
00:57:39I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:47No.
00:57:49I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:51There is no way I'm apologizing to you.
00:57:53If things were the other way,
00:57:55would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:57:58Chloe, the truth is...
00:58:00Everyone here...
00:58:03has seen you be a bully.
00:58:05And a coward.
00:58:06And now, a sore loser.
00:58:11This is so humiliating for her.
00:58:14How did she manage that?
00:58:16Maybe she really is a Lewis.
00:58:19Apologize to Miss Lewis.
00:58:21Shut up.
00:58:22Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.
00:58:24Don't forget, the Duke found me on half of Maplewood.
00:58:28They don't deserve this.
00:58:30Let's get out of here.
00:58:31Hold on.
00:58:34This is where I belong.
00:58:37And that...
00:58:39is my chair.
00:58:41You can't go there.
00:58:42That is the VIP section.
00:58:45Only those invited by the Lewis Group Vice Presidents get to sit there.
00:58:49Like I said, Chloe...
00:58:51that's my seat.
00:58:53Had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
00:59:02Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene
00:59:04at a signing ceremony
00:59:06between her ex and Mr. Shepard.
00:59:09Wasn't it?
00:59:10Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
00:59:13Is this how you charm all your men?
00:59:15Shall we?
00:59:16My pleasure.
00:59:18What are you doing?
00:59:19Let go.
00:59:22It doesn't matter what happened.
00:59:23I choose to stay by Laura's side.
00:59:27Let's go.
00:59:28Don't be absurd.
00:59:30That seat is reserved for a very important guest.
00:59:33Someone so esteemed,
00:59:35even the Vice Presidents have to bow low.
00:59:40And...
00:59:41how exactly, Mr. Jones?
00:59:45Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
00:59:49Wait, that's Peter Young.
00:59:51Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group.
00:59:57Ask Peter Young.
00:59:58He decides which investments are they?
01:00:00It's Chloe Duke,
01:00:01Head of Duke Industries.
01:00:03So glad you could join us.
01:00:04Why is everyone standing around?
01:00:05It's her.
01:00:07She's making a huge scene
01:00:08trying to claim the VIP seat.
01:00:10It's embarrassing.
01:00:11That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
01:00:15Specifically the family heir.
01:00:17Please get off the stage.
01:00:18Oh, yes.
01:00:21Mr. Young, was it?
01:00:23I think I remember you.
01:00:24You manage my family's investments.
01:00:29Don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:00:31Please get off the stage.
01:00:33That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.
01:00:35I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:00:39I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:00:51This is ridiculous.
01:00:53You, the Lewis heir.
01:00:55Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:00:58You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:01:01Exactly.
01:01:02We ran a background check on her
01:01:04and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.
01:01:08Before that,
01:01:09I could see her in my family's supermarket.
01:01:12See, Brian?
01:01:13This is who you've been chasing after.
01:01:15A liar and a cheat.
01:01:16Security, get this imposter out of here.
01:01:20Everyone here is a witness.
01:01:22Why would any of you trust Laura?
01:01:25If any of you dares to harm her,
01:01:28you have to go through me first.
01:01:31Brian, she's just a nobody.
01:01:34She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.
01:01:37They didn't even want her.
01:01:38What exactly do you see in her?
01:01:40Escort this imposter out of here.
01:01:42Now.
01:01:44I'm Peter.
01:01:44Peter,
01:01:53do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:01:56Mr. Yates.
01:01:58I'm so glad you could join us.
01:02:01Miss Lewis,
01:02:02sorry about the delay
01:02:03and for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:02:06It's no trouble, Mr. Yates.
01:02:10Luckily, I haven't been alone.
01:02:11I had the great company of my very loyal friend.
01:02:17Wait a minute.
01:02:19She's Miss Lewis.
01:02:20Is this a joke?
01:02:22Mr. Young,
01:02:22you're new to the Lewis Group,
01:02:24so I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.
01:02:29But you listened to lies without checking the facts
01:02:31and almost called the police.
01:02:36Tell me,
01:02:37Mr. Young,
01:02:38who put you up to this?
01:02:40Was it my uncle,
01:02:41Ian Lewis?
01:02:42I knew it.
01:02:50Consider this your termination.
01:02:53I get it now.
01:02:55This is all an act, right?
01:02:57Chloe, what are you doing?
01:02:58We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:03:00Work with them?
01:03:01Are you blind?
01:03:02This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:03:05That's enough, young lady.
01:03:07You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.
01:03:11Oh, Chloe.
01:03:13I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:03:15I think you need some professional help.
01:03:19Maybe I can make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:03:22Chloe, that's enough.
01:03:24It's ridiculous.
01:03:24If you were really the Lewis family heir,
01:03:26you would have the ring.
01:03:28So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:03:29Show us the ring!
01:03:30Who are you to make demands of me?
01:03:42I don't answer to anyone but myself.
01:03:46I don't need any of your validation.
01:03:52There's a ring.
01:03:57Vice Presidents,
01:03:59I'm Chloe Duke.
01:04:00Vice Presidents of the Duke family.
01:04:01This woman is an imposter.
01:04:03Ms. Lewis,
01:04:05we apologise for the delay.
01:04:07How could you just let that con woman sit there?
01:04:09Get her out of here!
01:04:10This seat was always for Ms. Lewis.
01:04:14She's the special guest we've been waiting for.
01:04:17The investment queen.
01:04:19The real heir to Lewis Group.
01:04:22Laura Lewis.
01:04:24She's a divorced housewife.
01:04:25A janitor.
01:04:26How can she?
01:04:27She can't be.
01:04:28It's a lie, I'm telling you.
01:04:29It's a lie.
01:04:30Do you think we'd lie?
01:04:32We've run Lewis Group.
01:04:34Oh, Chloe.
01:04:36You assaulted me earlier.
01:04:39And you came to this meeting to what?
01:04:42Sabotage it.
01:04:43You'll be hearing from our legal team.
01:04:47Is this true, Ms. Duke?
01:04:51Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:04:53Yes, it's all true.
01:04:56She fooled us all.
01:04:58The Duke's tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewoods and control everything themselves.
01:05:04I had no idea.
01:05:05No, but I'm on your side.
01:05:06But I'm on your side.
01:05:07I can give you everything you need.
01:05:10All the resources in Maplewoods.
01:05:12Ms. Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this?
01:05:15An eye for an eye.
01:05:19Since Ms. Duke here loves ruining things.
01:05:27I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:05:31I want them bankrupt in ten minutes.
01:05:35You're bluffing.
01:05:36You're nobody.
01:05:37You'll always be a nobody.
01:05:38And you can't touch me.
01:05:40Then consider this a test, Chloe.
01:05:44I didn't need my family's support with Shepard and I certainly don't need it now.
01:05:51Chloe, you dug your own grave.
01:05:54You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family with just the Shepard group?
01:06:00Please.
01:06:01Hmm.
01:06:02We'll see.
01:06:04Dad?
01:06:09What?
01:06:10Slow down.
01:06:11What are you talking about?
01:06:13No.
01:06:15It's impossible.
01:06:18Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:20Years of hard work.
01:06:22Destroyed in minutes.
01:06:23What did you do?
01:06:28Well, Chloe, isn't this what you wanted?
01:06:33To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:06:36This is impossible.
01:06:38It's impossible.
01:06:40Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:42The news is everywhere.
01:06:44Shepard's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market.
01:06:47They're hammering our shares.
01:06:49Are you sure it's just Shepard's?
01:06:52Yes!
01:06:53Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato.
01:06:57We could go bankrupt.
01:06:58You've ruined everything.
01:07:00Don't worry, Mr. Duke.
01:07:01When your company does go bankrupt, I'll buy it.
01:07:06At a fire sale price.
01:07:07Your employees won't even be affected.
01:07:09Brilliant.
01:07:10A masterstroke is lost.
01:07:12Now, this is my event.
01:07:17Please leave.
01:07:18Brian, I did this for us.
01:07:21Everything I did, I did for us, Brian.
01:07:23Chloe, you need help.
01:07:28These feelings you have for me, it's not love.
01:07:33It's obsession.
01:07:35Enough.
01:07:36If you don't want to ruin everything completely, you'll come with me.
01:07:40Right now.
01:07:41Where?
01:07:42Right now.
01:07:43Laura!
01:07:44This isn't over!
01:07:45Get out of me!
01:07:46What is going on here?
01:07:50Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:08:05Shepard group.
01:08:06They are the new partner that is partnering up with Lewis group for Maplewood.
01:08:09They are handling all future construction projects.
01:08:12That can't be!
01:08:14What about us?
01:08:15That was our project!
01:08:17Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian. Harrison Group is practically out. We have no chance.
01:08:22We can't give up that easily. Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as General Manager.
01:08:28In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.
01:08:32You're right. If we can just meet with a new heir, we can bypass the Shepherds and meet directly with the Lewis Group.
01:08:38We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.
01:08:43That's right.
01:08:47Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.
01:08:53I'm sure I've mentioned him before.
01:08:55Mr. Shepard, it's finally a pleasure to meet you.
01:08:58We've looked into your company's financial review. Very impressive.
01:09:03Thank you. Thank you, bud. A large part of that success is next to Ms. Lewis.
01:09:10She practically saved me from disaster. Three times over now.
01:09:14Brian, you can just call me Laura.
01:09:17Ms. Lewis' recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.
01:09:21Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:09:24Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is gone.
01:09:28Seize it.
01:09:30A woman like Laura is not easy to find.
01:09:33Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.
01:09:35Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:09:46Laura? Hardly.
01:09:48I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.
01:09:55So you're Laura's uncle?
01:09:57In the flesh.
01:09:59So Laura really is your niece?
01:10:01Yes, little Laura.
01:10:04She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.
01:10:08Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.
01:10:11I think he was a Harrison.
01:10:13Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side.
01:10:16Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?
01:10:19And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?
01:10:23If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:10:27Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Miss Duke.
01:10:30We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:10:34What if I fail?
01:10:36My family is already ruined.
01:10:38Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say.
01:10:41But, if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family will get back everything you've lost.
01:10:49Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side.
01:10:52How can I possibly get the ring?
01:10:54There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly.
01:11:03Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:11:05Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.
01:11:09Laura, it's so good to see you.
01:11:14And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps.
01:11:20How have you been?
01:11:21I've been well, Uncle Ian.
01:11:23Thank you for asking.
01:11:25I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.
01:11:29Yes.
01:11:29It's been easy.
01:11:30Indeed, somebody had to.
01:11:32I mean, after you left me with everything to do, without a safe pair of hands,
01:11:36I hate to think it would have happened to the company.
01:11:39Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard, you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.
01:11:48Yes.
01:11:49Minor mistakes.
01:11:50Minor.
01:11:51Don't worry, Uncle Ian.
01:11:53I won't hold it against you.
01:11:54Oh, good.
01:11:56Well, cheers to you coming back here.
01:11:59And the Lewis Group.
01:12:03Oh!
01:12:04I'm so sorry, Laura.
01:12:06How clumsy of me.
01:12:08Uh, no, no worries, Uncle Ian.
01:12:10I...
01:12:11I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.
01:12:15Of course.
01:12:16Right away.
01:12:17Just down to the left.
01:12:18Is it wisely?
01:12:26Oh, I will.
01:12:27Hey, Laura.
01:12:43How's that?
01:12:44Hello, Brian.
01:12:45Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:12:47Chloe.
01:12:48How in the hell did you get Laura's phone?
01:12:51Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:12:54Listen, Chloe.
01:12:57Don't hurt her.
01:12:58Please.
01:13:00I'll do anything.
01:13:02Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs.
01:13:06Now.
01:13:06Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.
01:13:13Well, you certainly do have your ways.
01:13:19Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up.
01:13:21I am sorry.
01:13:22How clumsy.
01:13:23And don't forget your phone.
01:13:24I retrieved it for you.
01:13:26I'll go again.
01:13:27Lovely to see you again.
01:13:29Yeah.
01:13:29I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.
01:13:33At the banquet.
01:13:36I'll see you then.
01:13:36Will do.
01:13:37Looking forward to it.
01:13:41Laura!
01:13:42Laura!
01:13:43Where are you?
01:13:44Laura!
01:13:46Laura!
01:13:47Where are you?
01:13:49Laura!
01:13:51Laura, where are you?
01:13:52Laura!
01:13:53Oh!
01:13:57Gotcha.
01:14:00You weren't expecting that, were you?
01:14:02Finally.
01:14:13Finally.
01:14:14Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.
01:14:16What the?
01:14:18Laura, where are you?
01:14:18Laura?
01:14:19Laura?
01:14:20Go shut your mouth.
01:14:22Chloe.
01:14:23What have you done?
01:14:25You out of your mind?
01:14:26Out of my mind!
01:14:27You were the one that left me for that tramp and destroyed my life!
01:14:31That's not true.
01:14:32You were the one who messed up!
01:14:34Brian!
01:14:35Laura!
01:14:38Stay where you are.
01:14:40You better come alone.
01:14:41Shut this knife, Chloe.
01:14:44This is insane!
01:14:46Insane?
01:14:46I did this for us, Brian!
01:14:49We were meant to be together.
01:14:52Us?
01:14:53You've gone crazy!
01:14:54And you're out of here!
01:14:56Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious event.
01:15:00They're going to lock you up for years!
01:15:02You think I care about jail time?
01:15:06All I care about is tearing YouTube apart.
01:15:08You don't deserve him.
01:15:10What have you done?
01:15:12You've destroyed my life!
01:15:14My company, everything!
01:15:17Now I'm going to destroy your life.
01:15:20Forgive me.
01:15:21Family ring now.
01:15:22Give it to me!
01:15:24This is about the ring.
01:15:26Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:15:30You know, Chloe?
01:15:32Trying to kill me.
01:15:34That's foolish.
01:15:36Because who do you think is going to win?
01:15:39You?
01:15:40That little knife?
01:15:41Or...
01:15:42Me?
01:15:45Something a little bit more persuasive.
01:15:55Freeze!
01:15:56Don't move, anyone.
01:16:00Don't move.
01:16:01You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.
01:16:04Miss Lewis.
01:16:06Having fun without me.
01:16:08I'm hurt.
01:16:09Are you hurt?
01:16:12No, I'm okay.
01:16:16Tell me, Chloe.
01:16:19Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:16:22Why should I tell you?
01:16:23You're going to kill me anyway.
01:16:26Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:16:28But if you don't talk,
01:16:31your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:16:36Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:39So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:16:41Talk,
01:16:42or face the consequences.
01:16:44Fine.
01:16:45It was Ian Lewis.
01:16:47He...
01:16:47He said he'd help Duke Industries
01:16:49if I kept you away from the bank room today.
01:16:51Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:16:55I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:17:00Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:17:02Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:17:04I'm ready to play a game.
01:17:15This is crazy.
01:17:17Are we really sure we can do this?
01:17:18All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:17:21Absolutely.
01:17:22The Lewis Group is under new leadership.
01:17:24We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:26Exactly.
01:17:27We just need to make sure
01:17:28we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:17:31There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:32He can introduce us.
01:17:33Let's go.
01:17:34Yeah.
01:17:37Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:17:38I'm Amber Smith.
01:17:39We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:41This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.
01:17:43How do you do?
01:17:44We're the company that...
01:17:45Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:47Miss Smith, you're the one
01:17:47who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:17:50Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:17:57Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:17:58Could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:18:01The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:18:06Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:10A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:18:13Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group,
01:18:17Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:18Look, everybody, attention.
01:18:21Attention, please.
01:18:23There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:18:29I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago
01:18:32that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:18:35And tragically, she hasn't made it.
01:18:38She has not survived.
01:18:40Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:45It doesn't matter now.
01:18:48She's gone.
01:18:49Mr. Lewis, is this new...
01:18:50A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:18:53But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue
01:18:55under my competent leadership.
01:18:57Hold on.
01:19:00Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:04Laura.
01:19:09I don't understand.
01:19:11What's happening?
01:19:13Laura?
01:19:14But weren't you...
01:19:15My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:19:19There seems to be some...
01:19:21Misunderstanding.
01:19:22Laura, what are you doing here?
01:19:24You've got to stop this.
01:19:25If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:19:27I'll save this once.
01:19:29Back off, then.
01:19:35Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:19:37As I'm sure you know,
01:19:40tonight,
01:19:41I officially reclaim my title
01:19:44as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:19:49Perhaps you could make some room for me.
01:19:53Uncle Ian?
01:19:54Impossible.
01:19:55How are you still alive?
01:19:57Well, clearly I am alive and well,
01:19:59so why don't we get this started?
01:20:01No.
01:20:02You're not the rightful heir.
01:20:04You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:20:09Uncle Ian, is that seriously your art?
01:20:11The best that you have,
01:20:12that I got married too quickly?
01:20:14Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago
01:20:16and married a stranger
01:20:17and left me to work tirelessly,
01:20:20keeping the company together.
01:20:22Uncle Ian, retire.
01:20:24Enjoy your retirement.
01:20:27Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:20:29No.
01:20:30There can only be one heir,
01:20:32and that's me.
01:20:34And the rightful heir has possession
01:20:36of this.
01:20:37You think a ring makes an heir?
01:20:41You're even more foolish
01:20:42than I could have ever imagined.
01:20:45Give that back to me.
01:20:47This.
01:20:48Yes.
01:20:49You think some shiny gold thing
01:20:51makes you the heir?
01:20:53Give it back.
01:20:54True leadership
01:20:56is about earning the respect
01:20:59of those around you,
01:21:01not some stupid ring.
01:21:02Oh, my ring.
01:21:05Look at Don, where is it?
01:21:09My ring.
01:21:11Now, everyone,
01:21:12if I could have your attention.
01:21:14How dare you.
01:21:15Let me show you
01:21:16how a true heir
01:21:18earns a ring like that.
01:21:20Ah.
01:21:23Fucking awful.
01:21:25Fine.
01:21:26It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:27He said he'd help
01:21:29drinking distress
01:21:30if I kept you away
01:21:30from the banker today.
01:21:34Oh, quite the spectacle,
01:21:36Mr. Lewis.
01:21:38Security,
01:21:39escort him out.
01:21:40And Ian,
01:21:41don't fall over.
01:21:43It's all lies.
01:21:44It's all lies.
01:21:45Fakery.
01:21:45It's fake news.
01:21:46The truth is clear.
01:21:47Get him out of here.
01:21:48Now.
01:21:50I owe all of you
01:21:54an apology
01:21:54for everything
01:21:56that's happened tonight.
01:21:57Turns out,
01:21:58reclaiming my birthright
01:21:59didn't go as smoothly
01:22:01as I had hoped.
01:22:03Luckily,
01:22:04these past few days,
01:22:05I've had
01:22:06Mr. Shepherd
01:22:08by my side.
01:22:10And he has been
01:22:11a great support.
01:22:15Lewis Group
01:22:15has a lot of exciting plans
01:22:18for Maplewood.
01:22:20I'm proud to announce
01:22:22that we have secured
01:22:24a reliable
01:22:25partner.
01:22:28Shepherd Group.
01:22:29What?
01:22:30Laura, hold on.
01:22:32This was never my idea.
01:22:34This was all
01:22:34Cathy and Amber's fault.
01:22:35I don't want a divorce.
01:22:37What?
01:22:37What are you saying?
01:22:39You came to me first.
01:22:40Classic Ben.
01:22:42Something goes wrong
01:22:43and you start
01:22:43pointing the fingers
01:22:44at all the women
01:22:45in your life.
01:22:46Just don't
01:22:47shut Harrison Group out.
01:22:49Just give me another chance.
01:22:51How could I shut you out?
01:22:52I'm just a cleaner,
01:22:54remember?
01:22:54I'm just a useless
01:22:56housewife.
01:22:57I don't have that power.
01:23:00What are you talking about?
01:23:01What?
01:23:01No, come on.
01:23:02Sorry.
01:23:02No, please.
01:23:03No.
01:23:03Um, Mr. Shepard?
01:23:07Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:23:09I was wondering if
01:23:10maybe you wanted
01:23:13to grab dinner
01:23:14sometime
01:23:15on me.
01:23:19Miss Lewis,
01:23:21I would love to.
01:23:24Miss Lewis,
01:23:26Miss Lewis.
01:23:29Earthman.
01:23:29Miss Lewis.
