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

00:39:43a cleaner.
00:39:43She doesn't
00:39:44deserve to

00:40:34This
00:40:34beautiful

00:40:45And if

00:40:46it certainly
00:40:46wouldn't fit

00:41:44at least
00:41:45try it

00:41:48Miss,
00:41:48this

00:44:26okay?
00:44:26Hey,
00:44:26hey,
00:44:27hey!
00:44:28This isn't
00:44:29over,
00:44:29Laura!
00:44:30Could I
00:44:30try the dress
00:44:31on now?
00:44:31Of course,
00:44:32Miss Lewis.
00:44:33You just
00:44:34follow me.
00:44:39Wow.
00:44:42Miss Lewis,
00:44:44this dress
00:44:44really was
00:44:45made for you.
00:44:48Laura,
00:44:49you look
00:44:49breathtaking in
00:44:51this dress.
00:44:52Brian,
00:44:53why would you
00:44:54do all
00:44:55of this
00:44:57for me?
00:44:59Laura,
00:45:00because you
00:45:02deserve everything
00:45:03beautiful in the
00:45:04world.
00:45:06And that
00:45:06includes
00:45:07this dress.
00:45:11Will you
00:45:11give us a
00:45:12chance to
00:45:13see where
00:45:13things could
00:45:14go?
00:45:15I,
00:45:15I need
00:45:17a moment.
00:45:18Perhaps we
00:45:19could talk
00:45:20some more
00:45:20about this
00:45:20after the
00:45:22investment
00:45:22meeting?
00:45:24Does that
00:45:24mean it
00:45:25could be a
00:45:26yes?
00:45:26Maybe.
00:45:32Hi.
00:45:34Well,
00:45:46well,
00:45:47well.
00:45:48Look who
00:45:48decided to
00:45:49join the
00:45:49party.
00:45:50Playing
00:45:50dress-up again,
00:45:51Laura?
00:45:52One more
00:45:52disrespectful remark
00:45:53towards Laura,
00:45:54Miss Smith.
00:45:55And you
00:45:55understand the
00:45:56meaning of
00:45:56rude.
00:45:57You
00:45:57threatening
00:45:58my girlfriend
00:45:58in front of
00:45:59everyone?
00:46:00For this,
00:46:01Miss Gold
00:46:01Digger.
00:46:02You know,
00:46:03Ben,
00:46:04I really
00:46:05cared about
00:46:05you,
00:46:06even after
00:46:06all the
00:46:06horrible
00:46:07things you
00:46:07said to
00:46:08me after
00:46:08our
00:46:08divorce.
00:46:09I knew
00:46:10the name
00:46:10of a
00:46:10great
00:46:11psychologist
00:46:11in New
00:46:12York.
00:46:12Maybe the
00:46:13shrinks
00:46:13in Maplewood
00:46:14aren't
00:46:15equipped to
00:46:17deal with
00:46:17your issues.
00:46:18Enough!
00:46:20I've had
00:46:20enough of
00:46:20this drama.
00:46:21Yeah,
00:46:21me too.
00:46:23Try that
00:46:23again,
00:46:24and you'll
00:46:24regret it.
00:46:26Now,
00:46:26get the hell
00:46:26on my face.
00:46:28Let's see if you
00:46:29two even make it
00:46:29past the
00:46:30door.
00:46:30Yeah.
00:46:33I'm sorry,
00:46:34Miss Smith,
00:46:34but your name's
00:46:35not on the
00:46:35guest list.
00:46:36What?
00:46:37That's
00:46:37impossible.
00:46:38I was
00:46:39invited by
00:46:40the CEO
00:46:40himself.
00:46:43Unfortunately,
00:46:44neither Harrison
00:46:45group or
00:46:45Smith group,
00:46:46your name is
00:46:47on the
00:46:47list.
00:46:48What?
00:46:48Looks like
00:46:49you two won't
00:46:49be getting
00:46:50let in,
00:46:50after all.
00:46:52You don't
00:46:52have an
00:46:52invitation.
00:46:54You're just
00:46:54here because
00:46:54Mr. Bryan.
00:46:59Let me see
00:47:00this.
00:47:00This doesn't
00:47:00even look
00:47:01real.
00:47:01It's
00:47:01different
00:47:02from mine.
00:47:03Why don't
00:47:03you ask
00:47:04her if
00:47:05it's
00:47:05real?
00:47:07This
00:47:08appears to
00:47:08be a
00:47:09VIP invitation

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