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.

00:01:15You can't be messing with our company funds.

00:01:17This is incredible.

00:01:19What's going on?

00:01:21The shurning attempt.

00:01:23It's failing.

00:01:24The price is holding.

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

00:01:33We met before.

00:01:35They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.

00:01:37Hold on.

00:01:38Tell me, how could I ever repay you for this?

00:01:42If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.

00:01:51Jason, can we have five now?

00:02:01What are you doing?

00:02:09Mr. Yates.

00:02:11What, only two bodyguards this time?

00:02:13You're not going soft on me, are you?

00:02:16No, ma'am. I just thought you might like discreet today.

00:02:20Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.

00:02:25Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.

00:02:29Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.

00:02:35Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything 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 Toby walk you up to the house, for my sake.

00:03:05Ma'am, divorce 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 with the Shepherd Group.

00:03:27And you, you're just a cleaner.

00:03:30The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.

00:03:34I need a wife who reflects my status.

00:03:37I secured that $100 million contract.

00:03:40Oh, you. A cleaning woman. Handing out million dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.

00:03:49I did. It 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. A 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?

00:04:20Ben?

00:04:23What's going on?

00:04:24Is this why you want a divorce?

00:04:26Because of her?

00:04:27Oh, please.

00:04:28I've spent years building Harrison Group.

00:04:31You're still a cleaner.

00:04:32We just grew apart, that's all.

00:04:34Grown apart?

00:04:38No.

00:04:39No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.

00:04:45I won't sign.

00:04:49Money is a motivator, isn't it?

00:04:51Ben?

00:04:53Alright.

00:04:54Here.

00:04:55$100,000.

00:04:56Open up a small shop or something like that.

00:04:59$100,000.

00:05:01I was 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.

00:05:17A million dollars.

00:05:18Take this.

00:05:19You just want more money, don't you?

00:05:21Just leave and never see Ben again.

00:05:25I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.

00:05:31Since none of you respect me.

00:05:34A cleaning lady.

00:05:36Threatening us.

00:05:37I'm so scared.

00:05:40Just leave.

00:05:41You already make this house stink.

00:05:50My God, she's gone.

00:05:51Go to a written store.

00:05:56Sir?

00:05:57Laura Lewis' information.

00:05:59She's Ben Harrison's wife.

00:06:04No wonder why she wants to part with him.

00:06:06Actually, sir.

00:06:07Ben Harrison just divorced her.

00:06:09Divorced 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.

00:06:21She's saved our hiding now.

00:06:23Remember?

00:06:25Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract to?

00:06:30I don't know.

00:06:33Let's get to the vinyl news.

00:06:37Hey!

00:06:38What are you doing?

00:06:39Let go of me!

00:06:40You attacked Amber!

00:06:41Apologize this instant!

00:06:42Stealing from the Harrisons.

00:06:43We gave you a generous divorce settlement.

00:06:44You refused it.

00:06:45And now you're stealing.

00:06:46She couldn't afford it.

00:06:47You're a thief!

00:06:48That's mine!

00:06:49Give it back!

00:06:50That's enough!

00:06:51Maura.

00:06:52I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.

00:07:07Laura, I 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, Laura's new squeeze?

00:07:22Excuse me, do 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.

00:07:37A 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 Ms. 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.

00:08:03Who the heck is this man?

00:08:04Have you been sneaking around?

00:08:05It's a lie, 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?

00:08:38Let'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, no.

00:08:54The event will proceed.

00:08:56Besides, I'll be there.

00:08:58There'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, can you pull up over here, please?

00:09:16Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're going

00:09:23to 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!

00:10:12And why wouldn't I be here?

00:10:15This is a business event, after all.

00:10:17Business?

00:10:18You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.

00:10:21A 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.

00:10:30Oh, 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.

00:10:54This 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!

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

00:11:16But since you clearly don't deserve it...

00:11:19You 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.

00:11:52Security, get 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,

00:12:03I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.

00:12:07You really think that the Shepherds group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?

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?

00:12:32Mr. 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?

00:13:01Behind 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?

00:13:26Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?

00:13:29What 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.

00:13:44That's crazy.

00:13:46There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.

00:13:49That's absurd.

00:13:49It's, it's, it's absurd.

00:13:54A high society heirs wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.

00:13:57Yeah, yeah, 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.

00:14:06She'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 in need of waitress at the diner.

00:14:17Okay, listen up, everybody.

00:14:19When I met her, I'd only just started my business.

00:14:22Now 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.

00:14:33She'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.

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

00:15:03Kathy, you never respected me.

00:15:05And Ben, dumping 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.

00:15:16You 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.

00:15:32Everything.

00:15:35Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:15:37Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?

00:15:40And 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?

00:16:07But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.

00:16:13A janitor.

00:16:15Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?

00:16:22You 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.

00:16:45Is this true, Miss Smith?

00:16:47Miss 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.

00:17:09Without Miss Lewis involved,

00:17:11I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.

00:17:15Today, 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.

00:17:33What?

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.

00:17:53And 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 Group.

00:18:05A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.

00:18:13The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.

00:18:16Everyone here deserves to see the truth.

00:18:20Ms. Lewis,

00:18:21shall we take this conversation as well?

00:18:24Help!

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.

00:18:44What?

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?

00:19:13Ms. 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.

00:19:38We can expose Laura in all her lies.

00:19:40Go national.

00:19:41We can make ourselves a household name.

00:19:45Now, if you'll excuse me,

00:19:48I have a very important phone call to you.

00:19:54Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.

00:19:57Thank you as well for standing up with me.

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.

00:20:13You can just drop me off.

00:20:14Actually, Laura.

00:20:15Actually, Laura.

00:20:17There 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?

00:20:26Please, call me Brian.

00:20:30And yes, technically, you're single now.

00:20:35Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.

00:20:44Proper, Laura, 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.

00:21:05I'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!

00:21:29Jason, find out who owns that car and do it fast.

00:21:35Ian 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?

00:21:56Don't worry about that right now.

00:21:58I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.

00:22:01Someone I know very well.

00:22:03Impersonating my niece?

00:22:07And where is this fake Laura?

00:22:10Right here in Maplewood.

00:22:12And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.

00:22:15Well, 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?

00:22:28I 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.

00:23:09That's interesting.

00:23:10Could she be connected to them somehow?

00:23:12I'm not sure.

00:23:16Brian!

00:23:17There you are.

00:23:18I've missed you.

00:23:20Chloe.

00:23:22What are you up to?

00:23:23Chloe.

00:23:24What 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?

00:23:40You cheated on me.

00:23:41Is 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.

00:23:54My 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'll get 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.

00:24:17If 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.

00:24:27This 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.

00:24:58Just 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?

00:25:05If 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

00:25:15too?

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.

00:25:30The only ones who don't belong here are you three.

00:25:35And you, an idiot, believing every lie that she tells you, wake 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.

00:25:51So stupid.

00:25:53Oh, such a 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, Amber got me a partnership with the Loose Group.

00:26:04And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.

00:26:08Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this?

00:26:18Oh, that's rich.

00:26:20You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.

00:26:22I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Loose Group.

00:26:26Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?

00:26:30You mean my uncle?

00:26:33Ian, don't be ridiculous.

00:26:35Yeah.

00:26:35Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.

00:26:38And 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, which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.

00:26:54She's lying.

00:26:56They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.

00:26:58Is 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.

00:27:14Get lost before things get worse.

00:27:18Here.

00:27:19Take 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.

00:27:31Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,

00:27:37why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?

00:27:42Security!

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, play some of 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.

00:28:18Hold on a second.

00:28:20An affair?

00:28:22You think Laura and I?

00:28:24You 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.

00:28:38Miss 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?

00:28:56A cleaner?

00:28:56Nonsense.

00:28:57I personally greeted Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.

00:29:01Exactly.

00:29:02Lewis Group, my company, has 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?

00:29:59This 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.

00:30:25Thank you for sending me in, Ryan.

00:30:27I owe you one.

00:30:29We'll talk about this later.

00:30:31Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harris.

00:30:36Thanks, Amy.

00:30:42What do you think we don't have this?

00:30:43Come in.

00:30:46Excuse me, Vice Presidents.

00:30:49I'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, Ms. Smith.

00:31:03Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?

00:31:07Ian Lewis...

00:31:08Mr. Lewis...

00:31:10...reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.

00:31:17Expansion plans?

00:31:19Ms. Smith?

00:31:20A 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...

00:31:31Ms. 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...

00:31:41Ms. Smith, we'd like you to leave.

00:31:43If you don't, we'll call security.

00:31:50Hey.

00:31:51Stop there.

00:31:51This elevator is a VIP only.

00:31:54Back, please.

00:31:55Of course.

00:31:56My apologies.

00:31:57Oh, please.

00:32:03Laura?

00:32:06Vice Presidents!

00:32:08It's so good to see all of you again.

00:32:11Ms. Lewis, it's been too long.

00:32:14Your return is a lifesaver, Ms. 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, Ms. Lewis.

00:32:26Well, please sit.

00:32:29Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.

00:32:34We'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.

00:32:45Ms. Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.

00:32:49Yes.

00:32:50She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.

00:32:57She said that, did she?

00:32:58Well, Ms. Smith is a liar.

00:33:00There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.

00:33:04Well, she lied so blatantly.

00:33:05It was, it's unbelievable.

00:33:07Bob, don't worry.

00:33:08I 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.

00:33:19Do you have anything to do with that?

00:33:22So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?

00:33:25Oh, don't worry about Amber.

00:33:30I've got plans for her.

00:33:34Ms. Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the magic from us.

00:33:44Cheers.

00:33:45Cheers.

00:33:45No, 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 Ms. 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.

00:34:14Oh, of course.

00:34:16Laura!

00:34:17She'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.

00:34:37Look who can't even get into a meeting

00:34:39whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.

00:34:42And let's not forget the mystery guests

00:34:44that 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,

00:35:08Ian Lewis.

00:35:09New 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

00:35:24to 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?

00:35:32Well then,

00:35:34there seems to be a misunderstanding.

00:35:38You see,

00:35:38I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith,

00:35:41but 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.

00:35:55Come on.

00:35:55Shh.

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.

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

00:36:02You'll see.

00:36:06Thanks for waiting, Ben.

00:36:09Laura,

00:36:10I'm glad you're okay.

00:36:13And thank you

00:36:15for defending me.

00:36:17I really appreciate it.

00:36:21Um,

00:36:22are you coming to the meeting?

00:36:25Yes,

00:36:25but it's going to be tricky.

00:36:30Why?

00:36:31I'm sure that Shepard Group

00:36:33got an invitation.

00:36:37Yes.

00:36:38Laura,

00:36:39there's something you should know.

00:36:43Is,

00:36:44is this about Ben?

00:36:46Because I can assure you

00:36:48that he won't cause any problems.

00:36:50He won't even get past security.

00:36:52Laura,

00:36:53it's not Ben.

00:36:54It's someone else.

00:36:59Someone's causing problems

00:37:00for Shepard Group?

00:37:04Yes.

00:37:06Her name is Chloe Duke.

00:37:09She is daughter

00:37:10of the Duke family.

00:37:13She's my ex-fiance.

00:37:14And, uh,

00:37:17let's say

00:37:18things didn't end so well

00:37:19between us.

00:37:21And,

00:37:22let's just say

00:37:25we didn't end

00:37:26things so well.

00:37:28And,

00:37:28for some reason,

00:37:30she's having a hard time

00:37:32moving on.

00:37:34And,

00:37:35you think that

00:37:36she's going to cause

00:37:38problems at the meeting

00:37:39for,

00:37:40out of

00:37:44jealousy?

00:37:47There's a possibility.

00:37:49She's kind of jealous.

00:37:51Well,

00:37:52all the more reason

00:37:54for you to be there.

00:37:56Besides,

00:37:57I'll be there too.

00:38:01It's Laura.

00:38:04Would you consider being

00:38:05a guest at the meeting?

00:38:08What?

00:38:08Are you worried

00:38:10that this Chloe

00:38:10is going to cause

00:38:11problems for me, too?

00:38:13Maybe a little.

00:38:14But,

00:38:15mostly,

00:38:16I want to show them

00:38:17we're a team.

00:38:18Well,

00:38:19it's a very

00:44:06about pressure,

00:44:07so I would like

00:44:07to give you

00:44:08this brand to you.

00:44:10You can't be

00:44:10serious.

00:44:12You don't have

00:44:15Brian.

00:44:17You two

00:45:02breathtaking

00:45:04Brian,

00:45:05why would she

00:45:06do all

00:45:08of this?

00:45:09For me?

00:45:11Laura.

00:45:14Because you 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

00:45:23a chance

00:45:24to see where

00:45:25things could go?

00:45:27I...

00:45:27I need a moment.

00:45:30Perhaps we could

00:45:31talk some more

00:45:32about this

00:45:32after the

00:45:34investment meeting?

00:45:36Does that mean

00:45:36it could be a yes?

00:45:38maybe.

00:45:45Hi.

00:45:53Hi.

00:45:56What?

00:45:57Well,

00:45:59well,

00:45:59well.

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?

00:46:13This gold digger?

00:46:14You know,

00:46:15Ben,

00:46:16I really cared

00:46:17about you

00:46:18even after all

00:46:19the horrible

00:46:19things you said

00:46:20to me after our

00:46:20divorce.

00:46:21I know the name

00:46:22of a great

00:46:23psychologist in New York.

00:46:25Maybe the shrinks

00:46:26in Maplewood

00:46:27aren't equipped

00:46:28to deal

00:46:29with your issues.

00:46:31Enough!

00:46:32I've had enough

00:46:33of this drama.

00:46:34Yeah,

00:46:34me too.

00:46:35Try that again

00:46:36and you'll regret it.

00:46:38Now,

00:46:38get the hell

00:46:39on my face.

00:46:40Let's see if you two

00:46:41even make it

00:46:42past the door.

00:46:43Yeah.

00:46:45I'm sorry,

00:46:46Miss 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

00:46:58with names on the list.

00:47:01Looks 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.

00:47:09Let me see this.

00:47:13This doesn't even

00:47:13look real.

00:47:14It's different

00:47:14from mine.

00:47:16Why don't you

00:47:16ask her

00:47:17if it's real?

00:47:20This appears

00:47:21to be a VIP invitation

00:47:22from the vice president.

00:47:25Please,

00:47:26right this way.

00:47:27We can continue

00:47:28this discussion later

00:47:29if you manage

00:47:30to get in.

00:47:34Sir,

00:47:35madam,

00:47:36we recommend

00:47:37you leave.

00:47:39There you are!

00:47:41How dare you

00:47:42steal my fiancée!

00:47:45There you are!

00:47:47How dare you

00:47:48steal my fiancée!

00:47:49Looks like

00:47:50another relationship

00:47:51fights the dust,

00:47:52Laura.

00:47:53Looks like

00:47:53stealing men

00:47:54is a hobby of yours.

00:47:56Get away from him!

00:47:57He's engaged to me!

00:47:58Hey, hey, hey.

00:47:59Hold your horses,

00:48:00Clay.

00:48:01That ended

00:48:01a long time ago.

00:48:03Engaged to you.

00:48:04Everyone in

00:48:05Maplewood knows

00:48:06what you did

00:48:07to Brian.

00:48:08Your relationship's

00:48:09history.

00:48:11That was just

00:48:12a little tiff.

00:48:13You really think

00:48:13that could tear us

00:48:14apart?

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

00:48:22royalty,

00:48:23let alone in 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

00:48:35choose this

00:48:35cleaner

00:48:36over me?

00:48:39Are you really

00:48:39going to humiliate

00:48:40me in front of

00:48:41all of Maplewood?

00:48:42There's nothing

00:48:42left to say,

00:48:43Gloria.

00:48:43Don't make this

00:48:44a scene.

00:48:45Shall we?

00:48:52Are you okay,

00:48:53Miss Duke?

00:48:54And you are?

00:48:56Amber Smith.

00:48:57I'm the Maplewood

00:48:58branch manager

00:48:59of Lewis Group.

00:49:01What branch?

00:49:01I've never heard of it.

00:49:02What do you want

00:49:03from me?

00:49:04That Laura!

00:49:05She tore up

00:49:06my invitation.

00:49:07Do you think

00:49:07you can get me inside?

00:49:09What, your little

00:49:09manager title

00:49:10couldn't get you

00:49:11past the front door?

00:49:13Please,

00:49:13don't waste my time.

00:49:14What?

00:49:21What?

00:49:22What?

00:49:23I don't want found

00:49:26nothing else.

00:49:26Oh, my God.

00:49:28If 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? I thought you were...

00:50:10She's a con woman. She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.

00:50:15What? Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?

00:50:21She's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.

00:50:24What are you planning?

00:50:27I want to destroy Shepard Group.

00:50:33Anyway, I'm terribly sorry about Chloe.

00:50:37I had no idea she would be so...

00:50:39...in this.

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...

00:50:50...power couple.

00:50:54I see what you're doing.

00:50:56Power couple, you say?

00:50:58More like a disaster waiting to happen.

00:51:03Anyway, shall we take a seat?

00:51:05Actually, Brian, my seat is...

00:51:09...it'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?

00:51:57That's a good question.

00:51:59Not much, actually.

00:52:01Sorry, honesty, that's what I want.

00:52:06And love, things that clearly Chloe has no idea.

00:52:11You 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.

00:52:22One more chance, Brian.

00:52:27Let's forget all this nonsense.

00:52:30Do it, Mr. Shepard.

00:52:32Propose right here, right now.

00:52:36Brian?

00:52:36Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?

00:52:43By forcing a ring on someone?

00:52:47Do it, or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.

00:52:51Don't you dare.

00:52:55Don't you dare.

00:52:58You humiliate yourself.

00:53:01How dare you?

00:53:02Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?

00:53:05Yes.

00:53:07I like her.

00:53:08But 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.

00:53:21Why would you choose someone like her?

00:53:24Exactly.

00:53:25This woman is trouble.

00:53:26She doesn't belong here.

00:53:27Throw her out.

00:53:29You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?

00:53:34Interesting turn of events.

00:53:36Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.

00:53:40Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura,

00:53:45that you're the missing heiress, Laura Lewis?

00:53:49One more chance, Brian.

00:53:51You'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,

00:54:01but wow, did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe.

00:54:07You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.

00:54:09That'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?

00:54:36The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not Shepard Group.

00:54:42Lewis Group RS?

00:54:47You?

00:54:49Don't make me laugh.

00:54:51Security, remove these two impostors 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 or this fraud.

00:55:04Chloe, I have everything I ever wanted right here.

00:55:13And I wouldn't trade for all the powers that took so many forward.

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 Duke family, they can't be serious.

00:55:34Shepard Group is doomed.

00:55:36Brian, you don't have to do this for me.

00:55:40Laura, I will never let anyone bully you, let alone them.

00:55:46Thank you, Brian, for believing in me, for protecting me.

00:55:55Now it's my turn to protect you.

00:56:01Listen carefully.

00:56:05I need you to protect the Shepard Group's stock at all costs.

00:56:11Don't let it drop even 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.

00:56:23Want 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's 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,

00:57:30I'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.

00:57:37Well, I think it's time for my apology.

00:57:47No, I 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

00:57:59everyone here

00:58:02has seen you be a bully

00:58:04and a coward

00:58:06and now

00:58:08a 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.

00:58:25Don't forget,

00:58:26the Duke family owned

00:58:27half of Maplewood.

00:58:28You're the losers.

00:58:30Let's get out of here.

00:58:32Hold on.

00:58:33This

00:58:35is 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

00:58:46by the Lewis Group vice presidents

00:58:47get to sit there.

00:58:49Like I said, Chloe,

00:58:52that's my seat.

00:58:53Had a rumor floating around

00:59:00a few days ago.

00:59:02Seems Miss Lewis

00:59:03caused quite a scene

00:59:04at a signing ceremony

00:59:06between her ex

00:59:07and 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?

00:59:15My pleasure.

00:59:18What are you doing?

00:59:20Let go.

00:59:22It doesn't matter what happens.

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

00:59:31for a very important guest.

00:59:34Someone so esteemed,

00:59:35even the vice presidents

00:59:37have to bow low.

00:59:38And

00:59:40how

00:59:42exactly, Mr. Jones?

00:59:45Are you so sure

00:59:46that I'm

00:59:47not that esteemed guest?

00:59:50Wait,

00:59:50that's Peter Young,

00:59:51director of business affairs

00:59:52at Lewis Group.

00:59:57That's Peter Young.

00:59:58He decides which

00:59:59investments 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.

01:00:06She's making a huge scene

01:00:08trying to claim the VIP seat.

01:00:10It's embarrassing.

01:00:11That seat's reserved

01:00:12for the Lewis Group VIP guest.

01:00:15Specifically,

01:00:15the family heir.

01:00:17Please get off the stage.

01:00:19Oh, yes.

01:00:21Mr. Young,

01:00:22was it?

01:00:23I think I remember you.

01:00:24You manage

01:00:25my family's investments.

01:00:29Don't pretend like

01:00:30you know what's going on.

01:00:31Please get off the stage.

01:00:33That seat's reserved

01:00:34for the Lewis family heir.

01:00:35I need to make

01:00:36one thing

01:00:37crystal clear.

01:00:43I

01:00:43am the heir

01:00:46of the Lewis family.

01:00:51This is ridiculous.

01:00:53You,

01:00:54the Lewis heir.

01:00:55Don't you know

01:00:55that Miss Lewis

01:00:56is a legend around here?

01:00:58You must be out of your mind

01:00:59trusting a complete

01:01:00stranger like this.

01:01:01Exactly.

01:01:02We ran a background check

01:01:03on her

01:01:04and it turns out

01:01:05she's just some cleaner

01:01:06that used to work

01:01:07for the Harrison Group.

01:01:08Before that,

01:01:09I could see her

01:01:10in 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.

01:01:17Security!

01:01:18Get this imposter out of here.

01:01:20And everyone here is a witness.

01:01:21Why would any of you

01:01:23trust Laura

01:01:24if any of you

01:01:26dares to harm her?

01:01:28You have to go through me first.

01:01:31Brian,

01:01:32she's just a nobody.

01:01:34She's just someone

01:01:35that the Harrison Group

01:01:36ditched.

01:01:37They didn't even want her.

01:01:38What exactly

01:01:39do you see in her?

01:01:40Escort this imposter

01:01:41out of here.

01:01:42Now!

01:01:44I'm Peter.

01:01:44Peter,

01:01:53do you have any idea

01:01:54what you're doing?

01:01:56Mr. Yates.

01:01:58I'm so glad

01:01:58you could join us.

01:02:01Miss Lewis,

01:02:02sorry about the delay

01:02:03and for all the trouble

01:02:05you've had to put up with.

01:02:06It's no trouble,

01:02:08Mr. Yates.

01:02:10Luckily,

01:02:10I haven't been alone.

01:02:11I've had the great company

01:02:13of my very loyal

01:02:15friend.

01:02:17Wait a minute.

01:02:19She's Miss Lewis.

01:02:20Is this a joke?

01:02:22Mr. Young,

01:02:23you're new to the Lewis Group,

01:02:24so I can understand

01:02:26why you wouldn't recognize

01:02:27Miss Lewis.

01:02:29But you listened to lies

01:02:30without 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?

01:02:43I knew it.

01:02:50Consider this your

01:02:51termination.

01:02:53I get it now.

01:02:55This is all an act,

01:02:57right?

01:02:57Chloe,

01:02:57what are you doing?

01:02:58We still want to work

01:02:59with the Lewis family.

01:03:00Work with them?

01:03:01Are you blind?

01:03:02This woman is clearly

01:03:03having an affair

01:03:03with this old man.

01:03:05That's enough,

01:03:06young lady.

01:03:07You've got no right

01:03:08to disrespect the head

01:03:09of the Lewis Group.

01:03:10Oh,

01:03:13Chloe,

01:03:13I can't believe

01:03:14we're going through this again.

01:03:15I think you need

01:03:16some professional help.

01:03:19Maybe I could make you

01:03:20an appointment

01:03:20with a great psychiatrist.

01:03:22Chloe,

01:03:23that's enough.

01:03:24It's ridiculous.

01:03:24If you were really

01:03:25the Lewis family heir,

01:03:26you would have the ring.

01:03:27So why don't you

01:03:28show it to everyone?

01:03:29Show us the ring!

01:03:34Why don't you

01:03:35show that to everyone?

01:03:36Show us the ring!

01:03:37Show us the ring!

01:03:38Show us the ring!

01:03:39Who are you

01:03:40to make demands of me?

01:03:42I don't answer

01:03:43to anyone but myself.

01:03:46I don't need

01:03:47any

01:03:48of your validation.

01:03:52There's a ring.

01:03:53Wow.

01:03:57Vice presidents!

01:03:59I'm Chloe Duke

01:04:00of the Duke family.

01:04:01This woman

01:04:02is an imposter.

01:04:03Miss Lewis,

01:04:05we apologise

01:04:05for the delay.

01:04:07How could you

01:04:07slip that con woman

01:04:08sit there?

01:04:09Get her out of here!

01:04:10This seat

01:04:11was always

01:04:12for Miss Lewis.

01:04:14She's the special guest

01:04:15we've been waiting for.

01:04:17The investment queen.

01:04:19The real heir

01:04:20to Lewis Group.

01:04:22Laura Lewis!

01:04:24She's a divorced

01:04:24housewife.

01:04:25A janitor.

01:04:26How can she?

01:04:27She can't be.

01:04:28It's a lie.

01:04:28I'm telling you

01:04:29it's a lie.

01:04:30Do you think

01:04:31we'd lie?

01:04:32We run

01:04:33Lewis Group.

01:04:34Oh, Chloe.

01:04:36You assaulted me

01:04:38earlier.

01:04:39And you came

01:04:40to this meeting

01:04:41to what?

01:04:42Sabotage it.

01:04:44You'll be hearing

01:04:45from our legal team.

01:04:47Is this true,

01:04:50Miss Duke?

01:04:51Did you try

01:04:52and sabotage

01:04:52this meeting?

01:04:55Yes.

01:04:56It's all true.

01:04:57She fooled us all.

01:04:58The Jews tricked us

01:04:59to keep

01:05:00Lewis Group

01:05:01out of Maplewood

01:05:02and control

01:05:03everything themselves.

01:05:04I had no idea.

01:05:06But I'm on your side.

01:05:08I can give you

01:05:09everything you need.

01:05:10All the resources

01:05:11in Maplewood.

01:05:12Miss Lewis,

01:05:14how would you like

01:05:14us to deal

01:05:15with this?

01:05:17An eye

01:05:17for an eye.

01:05:21Since

01:05:22Miss Duke

01:05:23here

01:05:24loves

01:05:25ruining things,

01:05:28I'll target

01:05:29her precious

01:05:30Duke

01:05:31Industries.

01:05:33I want them

01:05:33bankrupt

01:05:34in ten minutes.

01:05:36You're bluffing.

01:05:37You're nobody.

01:05:39You'll always

01:05:39be a nobody.

01:05:40And you can't

01:05:41touch me.

01:05:42Then

01:05:42consider this

01:05:44a test,

01:05:45Chloe.

01:05:46I didn't need

01:05:47my family's support

01:05:48with Shepard

01:05:49and I certainly

01:05:50don't need it now.

01:05:51Chloe,

01:05:51you dug your own grave.

01:05:54You think

01:05:54you can destroy

01:05:56Maplewood's leading

01:05:57family with just

01:05:58the Shepard group?

01:05:59Please.

01:06:01Hmm.

01:06:02We'll see.

01:06:08Dad?

01:06:10Slow down.

01:06:11What are you talking about?

01:06:12No.

01:06:16It's impossible.

01:06:18Chloe,

01:06:19what have you done?

01:06:20Years of hard work.

01:06:21Destroyed in minutes.

01:06:26What did you do?

01:06:29Well,

01:06:30Chloe,

01:06:31isn't this what you wanted?

01:06:33To give me a little taste

01:06:35of destruction?

01:06:36This is impossible.

01:06:38It's impossible.

01:06:40Chloe,

01:06:41what have you done?

01:06:43The news is everywhere.

01:06:45Shepard's launched

01:06:45a full-scale assault

01:06:46on the stock market.

01:06:48They're hammering our shares.

01:06:50Are you sure it's just Shepard's?

01:06:52Yes!

01:06:53Shareholders

01:06:53are dumping our stock

01:06:55like it's a hot potato.

01:06:57We could go bankrupt.

01:06:59You've ruined everything.

01:07:00Don't worry,

01:07:01Mr. Duke.

01:07:02When your company

01:07:03does go bankrupt,

01:07:04I'll buy it

01:07:06at a fire sale price.

01:07:07Your employees

01:07:08won't even be affected.

01:07:09Brilliant!

01:07:10A master's job,

01:07:12Ms. Lois.

01:07:13Now,

01:07:15this

01:07:15is my event.

01:07:18Please leave.

01:07:19Brian,

01:07:19I did this for us.

01:07:21Everything I did,

01:07:22I did for us, Brian.

01:07:26Chloe,

01:07:26you need help.

01:07:29These feelings you have

01:07:30for me,

01:07:31it's not love.

01:07:32It's obsession.

01:07:35Enough.

01:07:37If you don't want to ruin

01:07:38everything completely,

01:07:39you'll come with me

01:07:40right now.

01:07:42Mark.

01:07:43Right now.

01:07:44Mark!

01:07:45Mark!

01:07:46Mark!

01:07:52Laura!

01:07:53This isn't over!

01:07:55Help me!

01:07:57Mark!

01:07:58You hear me?

01:07:59What is going on here?

01:08:03Did they finally expose

01:08:04Laura's lies?

01:08:05Shepard Group.

01:08:07They're the new partner

01:08:07that's partnering up

01:08:08with Lewis Group

01:08:09for Maplewood.

01:08:11They're handling

01:08:11all future construction projects.

01:08:13That can't be.

01:08:15What about us?

01:08:15That was our project.

01:08:17Remember,

01:08:17Laura teamed up with Brian.

01:08:19Harrison Group

01:08:20is practically out.

01:08:21We have no chance.

01:08:22We can't give up

01:08:23that easily.

01:08:24Remember,

01:08:25Ian Lewis himself

01:08:26appointed me

01:08:27as general manager.

01:08:28In a few days,

01:08:29he promised

01:08:30that he would let us

01:08:30meet with a new heir.

01:08:32You're right.

01:08:33If we can just

01:08:33meet with a new heir,

01:08:34we can bypass

01:08:35the Shepards

01:08:36and meet directly

01:08:37with the Lewis Group.

01:08:38We just have to

01:08:39play their little game

01:08:40and see who comes

01:08:41out on top.

01:08:43That's right.

01:08:43Vice Presidents,

01:08:49allow me to introduce

01:08:50my associate,

01:08:51Brian Shepard.

01:08:53I'm sure I've mentioned

01:08:54him.

01:08:55Mr. Shepard,

01:08:56finally a pleasure

01:08:57to meet you.

01:08:58We've looked into

01:08:59your company's

01:09:00financial review.

01:09:02Very impressive.

01:09:04Thank you, bud.

01:09:06A large part of that

01:09:07success is next

01:09:08to Ms. Lewis.

01:09:09No.

01:09:10She practically

01:09:11saved me

01:09:11from disaster.

01:09:13Three times over now.

01:09:14Brian,

01:09:14you can just

01:09:15call me Laura.

01:09:17Ms. Lewis'

01:09:18recommendation

01:09:19is very telling,

01:09:20Mr. Shepard.

01:09:21Perhaps today

01:09:22clarifies everything.

01:09:24Mr. Shepard,

01:09:25this opportunity

01:09:26is gone.

01:09:28Seize it.

01:09:30A woman like Laura

01:09:31is not easy to find.

01:09:33Thank you for

01:09:34your kind words,

01:09:34Mr. Vice President.

01:09:41Did Laura send you

01:09:45to kill me?

01:09:46Laura?

01:09:47Hardly.

01:09:48I'm Ian Lewis,

01:09:50CEO and rightful

01:09:51heir of the

01:09:52Lewis Group.

01:09:55So you're

01:09:55Laura's uncle?

01:09:57In the flesh.

01:09:59So Laura really

01:10:00is your niece?

01:10:01Yes,

01:10:02little Laura.

01:10:04She just threw

01:10:05away her birthright

01:10:06about two,

01:10:07three years ago.

01:10:08Ran off and

01:10:09married a nobody

01:10:10from Maplewood.

01:10:11I think he was

01:10:12a Harrison.

01:10:13Now Laura's got

01:10:14the VPs and

01:10:15Mr. Yates on her

01:10:15side.

01:10:16Did you hear she's

01:10:17throwing a banquet

01:10:17in a few days to

01:10:18announce her

01:10:19official takeover?

01:10:20And we can't

01:10:21let that happen,

01:10:22can we, my dear?

01:10:23If you're

01:10:24Ian Lewis,

01:10:25wouldn't you have

01:10:26the family ring?

01:10:27Well, my dear,

01:10:28that's where you

01:10:29come in, Miss Duke.

01:10:30We need you to

01:10:31relinquish my ring.

01:10:34What if I fail?

01:10:36My family is already

01:10:37ruined.

01:10:38Yes, you are

01:10:39in a spot of

01:10:40bother, I must

01:10:41say.

01:10:42But, if

01:10:43successful, I

01:10:44guarantee that

01:10:45you and the Duke

01:10:46family will get

01:10:47back everything

01:10:48you've lost.

01:10:49Laura's got the

01:10:50VPs and Brian

01:10:51on her side.

01:10:52How can I

01:10:52possibly get the

01:10:53ring?

01:10:54There is a way,

01:10:55you know, that

01:10:56we can make

01:10:56Laura relinquish

01:10:58and give up that

01:11:00ring willingly.

01:11:03Dora, my dear,

01:11:04welcome.

01:11:05Uncle Ian,

01:11:06it's so good

01:11:08to see you.

01:11:12Laura.

01:11:13So good to see you.

01:11:14And you, it's been

01:11:15too long, two, three

01:11:18years perhaps.

01:11:20How have you been?

01:11:21I've been well,

01:11:22Uncle Ian.

01:11:23Thank you for asking.

01:11:25I see you've been

01:11:26busy keeping

01:11:27Lewis' group afloat.

01:11:29Yes.

01:11:29It's been easy.

01:11:30Indeed, somebody had

01:11:32to.

01:11:32I mean, after you

01:11:33left me with

01:11:34everything to do

01:11:35without a safe

01:11:36pair of hands,

01:11:36I hate to think

01:11:37it would have

01:11:37happened to the

01:11:38company.

01:11:39Actually, Uncle Ian,

01:11:41from what I've

01:11:42heard, you've lost

01:11:44billions with some

01:11:45questionable

01:11:46investment decisions.

01:11:48Yes.

01:11:49Minor mistakes.

01:11:50Minor.

01:11:51Don't worry, Uncle Ian.

01:11:52I won't hold it

01:11:53against you.

01:11:54Oh, good.

01:11:56Well, cheers to you

01:11:58coming back here

01:11:59and the Lewis group.

01:12:03Oh!

01:12:04I'm so sorry,

01:12:06Laura.

01:12:06How clumsy of me.

01:12:08No, no worries,

01:12:10Uncle Ian.

01:12:10I, I'll just go

01:12:12to the restroom

01:12:13and get cleaned up.

01:12:14Of course.

01:12:16Right away,

01:12:17just down to the left.

01:12:18Is it wisely?

01:12:26Oh, I will.

01:12:41Hey, Laura.

01:12:43How's that?

01:12:44Hello, Brian.

01:12:45Your little girlfriend

01:12:46is with me now.

01:12:47Chloe.

01:12:49How in the hell

01:12:50did you get

01:12:50Laura's phone?

01:12:52Let's just say

01:12:52that 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

01:13:04warehouse

01:13:04in the eastern suburbs.

01:13:06Now.

01:13:08Don't tell anyone

01:13:09if you want her alive.

01:13:13Well, you certainly

01:13:14do have your ways.

01:13:16Oh, thank goodness

01:13:20you've cleared up.

01:13:21I am sorry.

01:13:22How clumsy.

01:13:23And don't forget

01:13:23your phone.

01:13:24I retrieved it for you.

01:13:26Oh, I'm going to be in.

01:13:27Lovely to see you again.

01:13:29Yeah.

01:13:29I guess I'll see you

01:13:30the day after tomorrow

01:13:32at the banquet.

01:13:33At the banquet.

01:13:36I'll see you then.

01:13:37Will do.

01:13:37Looking forward to it.

01:13:38Laura!

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!

01:13:57I got you.

01:13:58I wasn't expecting that,

01:14:02were you?

01:14:02Finally.

01:14:14Looks like

01:14:15your little boyfriend

01:14:15got 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!

01:14:28You were the one

01:14:28that left me

01:14:29for that tramp

01:14:30and destroyed my life!

01:14:31That's not true!

01:14:32You were the one

01:14:33who messed up!

01:14:34Brian!

01:14:35Laura!

01:14:38Stay where you are!

01:14:40You better come alone!

01:14:42Shut this knife, Chloe!

01:14:44This is insane!

01:14:46Insane?

01:14:47I did this for us, Brian!

01:14:49We were meant

01:14:50to be together!

01:14:52Us?

01:14:53You've gone crazy!

01:14:54And you're out of here!

01:14:55Chloe,

01:14:56kidnapping

01:14:57is a very

01:14:59serious event.

01:15:00They're going to

01:15:01lock you up

01:15:01for years!

01:15:02You think I care

01:15:04about jail time?

01:15:06All I care about

01:15:06is tearing you

01:15:07to the pardon.

01:15:08You don't deserve him.

01:15:10What have you done?

01:15:12You've destroyed

01:15:13my life!

01:15:14My company,

01:15:15everything!

01:15:17Now I'm going

01:15:18to destroy your life.

01:15:20Forgive me.

01:15:21Family ring now!

01:15:22Give it to me!

01:15:24This is about

01:15:24the ring.

01:15:25Did my uncle Ian

01:15:27put you up to this?

01:15:30You know, Chloe,

01:15:31trying to kill me,

01:15:33that's foolish.

01:15:36Because who do you

01:15:37think is going to win?

01:15:39You?

01:15:40That little knife?

01:15:41Or...

01:15:42me?

01:15:45Something a little bit

01:15:46more persuasive.

01:15:47I'm going to go for it.

01:15:53Freeze!

01:15:54Don't move, anyone.

01:15:59Don't move.

01:16:01You're about to be

01:16:02arrested 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 said he'd help Duke Industries

01:16:49if I kept you away from the bank room today.

01:16:53Did 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?

01:17:04This is crazy.

01:17:17Are we really sure we can do this?

01:17:18All these big companies here, it's crazy.

01:17:20Absolutely.

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 we make a good impression on the new heir.

01:17:31There's Ian Lewis now.

01:17:32You can introduce us.

01:17:33Let's go.

01:17:34Yeah.

01:17:34Hello, 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 who exposed Laura's little drama.

01:17:49Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.

01:17:57Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

01:17:58Can I ask you all to be seated, please?

01:18:03The 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.

01:18:18Uh, look, 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.

01:18:36And tragically, she hasn't made it.

01:18:38She has not survived.

01:18:43What?

01:18:44Laura Lewis is dead?

01:18:46It 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 under my competent leadership.

01:18:59Hold on.

01:19:00Who said that I'm dead?

01:19:02Laura!

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 misunderstanding.

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 say this once.

01:19:29Back off, then.

01:19:30Thank 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.

01:20:07Uncle Ian, is that seriously your archivist that you have

01:20:11that I got married to 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.

01:20:21Uncle 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.

01:20:33And the rightful heir has possession of this.

01:20:38You think a ring makes an heir?

01:20:41You're even more foolish than 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 makes you the heir?

01:20:53Give it back.

01:20:54True leadership is about earning the respect

01:20:59of those around you,

01:21:01not some stupid ring.

01:21:03Oh, my ring.

01:21:05What have you done?

01:21:05Where is it?

01:21:09My ring?

01:21:10Now, everyone,

01:21:12if I could have your attention.

01:21:14How dare you.

01:21:15Let me show you how a true heir

01:21:18earns a ring like that.

01:21:22Pop.

01:21:23It's fucking awesome.

01:21:25Fine.

01:21:26It was Ian Lewis.

01:21:27He said he'd help you

01:21:29can distribute if I kept you away

01:21:30from the bankers today.

01:21:31Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr. Lewis.

01:21:38Security, escort him out.

01:21:40And Ian, don't fall over.

01:21:43It's all lies.

01:21:44It's all lies.

01:21:45Fakery.

01:21:45It's fake news.

01:21:46Get him out of here.

01:21:47Get him out of here.

01:21:48Now.

01:21:52I owe all of you an apology

01:21:54for everything that's happened tonight.

01:21:57It turns out reclaiming my birthright

01:21:59didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.

01:22:02Luckily, these past few days

01:22:05I've had Mr. Shepard

01:22:08by my side.

01:22:10And he has been

01:22:11a great support.

01:22:14Lewis Group

01:22:15has a lot of exciting plans

01:22:18for Maplewood.

01:22:20I'm proud to announce that

01:22:22we have secured

01:22:24a reliable partner.

01:22:28Shepard Group.

01:22:29Laura, hold on.

01:22:32This was never my idea.

01:22:34This was all Kathy and Amber's fault.

01:22:35I don't want a divorce.

01:22:37What?

01:22:37Then what are you saying?

01:22:39You came to me first.

01:22:40Classic Ben.

01:22:42Something goes wrong

01:22:43and you start pointing the fingers

01:22:44at all the women

01:22:45in your life.

01:22:46Just don't shut Harrison Group out.

01:22:48Just give me another chance.

01:22:50How could I shut you out?

01:22:52I'm just a cleaner, remember?

01:22:54I'm just a useless housewife.

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.

01:23:05Um, Mr. Shepard?

01:23:07Yes, Miss Lewis?

01:23:08I was wondering if

01:23:10maybe you wanted to grab dinner

01:23:14sometime.

01:23:15On me.

01:23:20Miss Lewis?

01:23:23I would love to.

01:23:24I would love to.
