00:00:00Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:10What the hell is going on here?
00:00:13Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:16Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do.
00:00:21Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:25They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:29Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:35Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunch time.
00:00:45Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:46Mr. Jason, excuse me ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:00:50Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.
00:00:57But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
00:01:05Do I know you?
00:01:09Wait, what are you doing?
00:01:12What are you doing?
00:01:13You can't do this, you're just a cleaner.
00:01:15Don't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:18This is incredible.
00:01:20What's going on?
00:01:22The shorting attempt.
00:01:23It's failing.
00:01:24The price is holding.
00:01:27Plus, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:30We met before.
00:01:31They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard Act.
00:01:33Hold on.
00:01:34Tell me.
00:01:35How could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:36If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:51Jason?
00:01:52Can we have five now?
00:01:53What are you doing?
00:01:54Mr. Yates?
00:01:55What, only two bodyguards this time?
00:01:56You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:01:57No, ma'am.
00:01:58I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:01:59Now, listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:12Mr. Yates, you know that I'm not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:17No, 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.
00:02:38Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:41Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:45Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:02:50Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house, for my sake.
00:03:06Divorce papers, sign it.
00:03:08Why?
00:03:09You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:11The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:03:25The Sheppard 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.
00:03:35I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:37I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:40I want you, a cleaning woman, handing out million dollar deals.
00:03:46Don't make me laugh.
00:03:49I did!
00:03:51It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:53I was the one who got Bryan 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.
00:04:06A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:11And what qualifications do you have to judge, Ms. Cleaner?
00:04:14Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor.
00:04:18Doesn't it, Ben?
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.
00:04:34Come apart?
00:04:38No.
00:04:39No, I...
00:04:40I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:45I won't sign.
00:04:48Huh.
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.
00:04:58$100,000?
00:05:00I 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.
00:05:35A cleaning lady, threatening us.
00:05:38I'm so scared.
00:05:40Just leave.
00:05:41You already make this house stink.
00:05:50Thank God she's gone.
00:05:51Go to written store.
00:05:56Sir?
00:05:57Laura Lewis' information.
00:06:02She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:06:04No wonder why she wanted us to partner again.
00:06:06Actually, sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:09Divorced her?
00:06:11Divorced her?
00:06:13Wait a minute.
00:06:15Don't you remember?
00:06:16She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:21Yeah.
00:06:22She saved our hiding now.
00:06:23Remember?
00:06:25Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a $100 million contract?
00:06:31I don't know.
00:06:33Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:06:34Hey!
00:06:37What are you doing?
00:06:38Let go of me!
00:06:39You attacked Amber!
00:06:41Apologize this instant!
00:06:46Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:48We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:06:50You refused it.
00:06:51And now you're stealing!
00:06:53She couldn't afford it.
00:06:54You're a thief!
00:06:55That's mine!
00:06:56Give it back!
00:06:57Wait!
00:06:58That's enough!
00:06:59Laura?
00:07:00I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:01It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:18You see?
00:07:19Who are you?
00:07:20Boar's new squeeze.
00:07:22Excuse me.
00:07:23Do you know who I am?
00:07:24Is this true?
00:07:25You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:07:28Shame on you!
00:07:29Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:30For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:07:34I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:36Oh, 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.
00:07:52Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:07:54Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:59Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:08:01Now.
00:08:02Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:08:03Who the heck is this man?
00:08:04Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:06It's alright, Naomi.
00:08:07This is none of your business.
00:08:09All rabbed dead bodies.
00:08:11You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us 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.
00:08:19Compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:08:21I go back.
00:08:22What?
00:08:23Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:08:25That's a lie.
00:08:26Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.
00:08:28You come back here and explain yourself.
00:08:30Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.
00:08:32Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:39Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:44I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:47After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:51No.
00:08:52Um.
00:08:53No.
00:08:54The event will proceed.
00:08:56Besides, I'll be there.
00:09:00There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:04Who are you, truly?
00:09:06You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.
00:09:10Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:12Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're gonna
00:09:24have a meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today.
00:09:29Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:34Because after that meeting, I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:40Oh, excellent, Miss Lewis.
00:09:42I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:44Ben Harrison, you're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:57After 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, get that woman out of here.
00:10:11We don't need cleaners at this event.
00:10:13Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:15This is a business event, after all.
00:10:17Business?
00:10:18You 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've taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:30Oh, Ben.
00:10:31Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:35Oh, Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:37Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:39You don't belong here.
00:10:41Just get out!
00:10:44That's what you get.
00:10:54This contract is mine.
00:10:57To give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:01Don'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...
00:11:39You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:48You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:49Oh, please, honey.
00:11:50You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:53Security!
00:11:54Get 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.
00:12:08You really think that the Shepard 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?
00:12:30Laura, are you alright?
00:12:33Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.
00:12:37There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:39There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:42This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.
00:12:46Effective immediately.
00:12:48Wait a minute.
00:12:50This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:52It's her.
00:12:54She ruined the contract.
00:12:55You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:57An affair?
00:12:58She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:13:03Mom, please, it's okay.
00:13:04This man is-
00:13:05Don't touch me!
00:13:07That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has 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!
00:13:16Mr. 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?
00:13:31What 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.
00:13:50It's-
00:13:51It's-
00:13:52It's absurd!
00:13:54A High Society Aeros wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood!
00:13:58Yeah, it's a lie.
00:13:59It's a lie.
00:14:00This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:14:02In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:14:05She's nothing special.
00:14:07She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:09I was just a waitress.
00:14:12How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:14First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.
00:14:18Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:14:19When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:22Mm-hmm.
00:14:23Now 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.
00:14:56You 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?
00:15:06Dumping 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.
00:15:15You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:15:20If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy.
00:15:27Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:30From everything.
00:15:32Wait, wait, wait, wait, Laura.
00:15:37You think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:39And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:41I don't think so.
00:15:42You're a cleaner.
00:15:43You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:45Nobody 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.
00:16:01I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:16:03I think all jobs are important, right, Mom?
00:16:06Ben, what are you doing?
00:16:08But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:16:13A janitor?
00:16:15Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:23You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:29Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:16:31This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:36I... but, well...
00:16:38A lie, you say?
00:16:39Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:16:43But I don't recognize you.
00:16:45Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:47Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:52This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:56But 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?
00:17:04Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:07Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis involved.
00:17:11I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:18Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:21Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:26Ms. Smith, you lied to us.
00:17:30You destroyed everything.
00:17:32What?
00:17:33No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:17:35I can explain.
00:17:36Lewis?
00:17:37Lewis 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.
00:17:47Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:52And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:17:58Everyone, listen to me.
00:18:02Shepard Group will not be partnered with Harrison.
00:18:06A 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.
00:18:21Ms. Lewis, shall we take this conversation as well?
00:18:25Help!
00:18:26Mom!
00:18:27Someone get a doctor!
00:18:28Mom!
00:18:29It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:30Indeed.
00:18:31Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:55What?
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.
00:19:03She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:19:06Flaunted their affair.
00:19:07Exactly.
00:19:08And those dresses?
00:19:10Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:19:13Ms. Smith, how 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 Bora.
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.
00:19:35The 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.
00:19:44Now, if you'll excuse me,
00:19:47I have a very important phone call to you.
00:19:54Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:19:58Thank you as well for standing up with me first.
00:20:00It's alright, 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...
00:20:09Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:11I'll be fine.
00:20:12Um...
00:20:13Excuse me.
00:20:14You can just drop me off.
00:20:15Just...
00:20:16Actually, Laura.
00:20:17Actually, Laura.
00:20:18There is something else.
00:20:19Would you consider going out for dinner sometime?
00:20:21Just casually, of course.
00:20:23Mr. Shepard, are...
00:20:25Are you asking me out?
00:20:27Please.
00:20:28Call me Brian.
00:20:30And...
00:20:31Yes.
00:20:32Technically, you're single now.
00:20:34Yes.
00:20:36That may be true, but...
00:20:38Going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner
00:20:42isn't exactly...
00:20:43Proper.
00:20:46Proper?
00:20:47Laura.
00:20:48I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:20:51Tonight?
00:20:52I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:20:55Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:20:58So what do you say?
00:21:00Dinner?
00:21:01Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:05I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:21:07I actually have another appointment tonight, so I...
00:21:09I can't do that.
00:21:10Wait, Laura.
00:21:11Just here is fine.
00:21:12I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:21:13I actually have another appointment tonight, so I...
00:21:15I can't do that.
00:21:16Wait, Laura.
00:21:17Laura?
00:21:18Laura?
00:21:19Who is it?
00:21:20Laura, wait!
00:21:21Jason.
00:21:22Find out who owns that car.
00:21:23And do it fast.
00:21:24I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:39I don't know who you are, Miss Smith.
00:21:40How did you get this number?
00:21:41Don't worry about that right now.
00:21:42I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:21:43Someone I know very well.
00:21:44Impersonating my niece.
00:21:45And where is this fake Laura?
00:21:47Right here in Maplewood.
00:21:48And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:21:50Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:21:51Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:21:52And more to the point.
00:21:53I don't know who you are.
00:21:54I don't know who you are, Miss Smith.
00:21:55How did you get this number?
00:21:56Don't worry about that right now.
00:21:58I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:22:02Someone I know very well.
00:22:04I don't know.
00:22:05I don't know who you are.
00:22:06He's a jury.
00:22:07I don't know who you are.
00:22:08I don't know who you are.
00:22:09I don't know who you are.
00:22:10You don't know who you are.
00:22:11How are you doing?
00:22:12I'm a boy.
00:22:13And you don't know who you are.
00:22:14But you're all together.
00:22:15I see her.
00:22:16She's brilliant.
00:22:17He's got no one and he's been in the office.
00:22:18She's got no one, look.
00:22:19She's got a little one, came out.
00:22:20And she's got a girl.
00:22:21It's a woman.
00:22:22And I'm sorry.
00:22:23I can't tell her.
00:22:24And she's got a gun.
00:22:25I'm sorry.
00:22:26I love her.
00:22:27Some.
00:22:28What are you doing?
00:22:29In the news?
00:22:30I want to meet with the vice presidents.
00:22:32All 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.
00:22:51That little rascal, Laura.
00:22:54I wonder what she's up to now.
00:23:00That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family butler.
00:23:04Oh.
00:23:06Lewis family?
00:23:08That's interesting.
00:23:10Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:23:13I'm not sure.
00:23:16Brian!
00:23:17There you are.
00:23:19I've missed you.
00:23:20Chloe.
00:23:22What are you up to?
00:23:23Chloe, what 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.
00:23:34I 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.
00:23:45Is this your new fling?
00:23:47Ex-divorcey.
00:23:50Used a clean floor.
00:23:51It's quite the catch, you say.
00:23:53Look, my relationship with her is none of your business.
00:23:57And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:24:00Please.
00:24:02An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman?
00:24:07It's a classic story.
00:24:07That's enough.
00:24:09I've got the hell out of my office.
00:24:11You want to be careful, Brian.
00:24:13Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:17If 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.
00:25:09Oh, the nurse.
00:25:11After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?
00:25:15Seriously?
00:25:16I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:21Oh, that's gold.
00:25:23You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?
00:25:25Laura?
00:25:26Please.
00:25:27You'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.
00:25:34And you, an idiot, believing every lie that she tells you.
00:25:38Wake up, Ben.
00:25:40Oh, Laura.
00:25:41Laura, come on.
00:25:42Why do you always pull this on me?
00:25:44I 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.
00:25:52Oh, such a trap.
00:25:54Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:25:57He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:26:00Yeah.
00:26:01Amber got me a partnership with the Loose Group.
00:26:04And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:26:07Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this?
00:26:14Oh, that's rich.
00:26:19You 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?
00:26:29You mean my uncle?
00:26:32Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:34Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:26:39And besides, this looks fake.
00:26:42She's a liar.
00:26:44This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:49It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.
00:26:54She's lying.
00:26:55They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:27:02Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?
00:27:05Not that I know of.
00:27:07See? She's lying.
00:27:09There you have it, Laura.
00:27:11Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:27:13Go on, get lost before things get worse.
00:27:18Here, take this one.
00:27:20Lead me to the vice presidents.
00:27:22You have no idea what you just did.
00:27:26There will be consequences.
00:27:30Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,
00:27:36Why don't you just ask him?
00:27:38To get the two of them an invitation.
00:27:41Security!
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.
00:27:46You're just a fraud.
00:27:47Man, place room.
00:27:48What?
00:27:49Hold on!
00:27:54Brian Shepard?
00:27:55You think money buys you the right to walk all over people?
00:27:58Well, it doesn't.
00:27:59Yeah.
00:28:00Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?
00:28:02What other plans do you have to destroy this time?
00:28:05Get you out?
00:28:06After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.
00:28:08Don't play dumb.
00:28:10We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:28:12How long has this little affair been going on?
00:28:15You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.
00:28:18Hold on a second.
00:28:19An affair?
00:28:21You think Laura and I?
00:28:23You people are unbelievable.
00:28:28Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP.
00:28:31We have a situation.
00:28:32What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?
00:28:35Is that it?
00:28:36Well, stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:38Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.
00:28:40How can I help you this evening?
00:28:42Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:45It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:48These people don't think that I belong here.
00:28:51Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:54A cleaner?
00:28:55Nonsense.
00:28:56I personally greeted Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:29:00Exactly.
00:29:01Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:10I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:29:13No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.
00:29:18She's been this way since my son divorced her.
00:29:20She's insane.
00:29:21Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.
00:29:25She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.
00:29:29No.
00:29:30It's a lie.
00:29:31Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too.
00:29:34You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.
00:29:43Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?
00:29:46Wait, is that why you're covering for her?
00:29:49Because of the affair?
00:29:50Because she slept with you?
00:29:51Excuse me?
00:29:52Who are you?
00:29:53And how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:29:55Enough of this.
00:29:56She's right.
00:29:57That's enough.
00:29:58Having you embarrass 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.
00:30:06She shouldn't be here.
00:30:08Since you're having trouble understanding them, let me make it clear.
00:30:13This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.
00:30:16It's mine.
00:30:18To 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 that divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harrison.
00:30:42Come 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, Mr. Lewis, 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.
00:31:23And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.
00:31:27But Ian Lewis assured me that...
00:31:30Ms. Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.
00:31:33Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.
00:31:36Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...
00:31:39Ms. Smith, we'd like you to leave.
00:31:42If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:44Hey.
00:31:45Stop there.
00:31:46These elevators are VIP only.
00:31:47Back, please.
00:31:48Of course.
00:31:49My apologies.
00:31:50Laura?
00:31:51Vice Presidents!
00:31:52It's so good to see all of you again.
00:31:53Ms. Lewis, it's been too long.
00:31:54Your return is a lifesaver, Ms. Lewis.
00:31:55The Lewis group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:32:09The board are begging you to come back, Ms. Lewis.
00:32:10Well, please sit.
00:32:11Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.
00:32:16We've got a meeting planned.
00:32:17A big one in just a few days.
00:32:18Local powerhouses and smaller players too.
00:32:19They'll all be there in one spot.
00:32:20Ms. Lewis.
00:32:21The 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.
00:32:28Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.
00:32:33We've got a meeting planned.
00:32:35A big one in just a few days.
00:32:38Local powerhouses and smaller players too.
00:32:43They'll all be there in one spot.
00:32:44Ms. Lewis.
00:32:45We met with an Amber Smith.
00:32:49She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis group.
00:32:56She said that.
00:32:57Did she?
00:32:58Well, Ms. Smith is a liar.
00:33:00There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:33:03She lied so blatantly.
00:33:05It was unbelievable.
00:33:06Don't worry.
00:33:08I found a much more suitable partner.
00:33:12Shepherd group.
00:33:14Shepherd group.
00:33:15The rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:33:18Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:21So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:33:25Oh, don't worry about Amber.
00:33:26I've got plans for her.
00:33:27Miss Lewis.
00:33:28Consider this your official invitation to the magic from us.
00:33:42Cheers.
00:33:43Cheers.
00:33:44Cheers.
00:33:45No, I'm not leaving.
00:33:46What are you talking about?
00:33:47No, come on.
00:33:48Wait!
00:33:49I'm Amber Smith.
00:33:50I'm the Lewis group manager of Maplewood branch.
00:33:51What 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, we were waiting for Ms. Smith.
00:33:56Lewis group, Maplewood branch.
00:33:57No such thing, ma'am.
00:33:58And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:33:59Of course.
00:34:00Laura.
00:34:01She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.
00:34:03That's how she gets away with everything.
00:34:04You underestimate her, Cathie.
00:34:05She's probably sleeping with all three vice-presidents.
00:34:07No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:34:12Careful with your words.
00:34:14Both of you.
00:34:17Acquisitions like that are enough.
00:34:18Do you not mean to Europe, if you come up with her Arthur and India or
00:34:22technology?
00:34:24Im font that the address for you by yourself wear.
00:34:27Tell them who we are.
00:34:28Yes, we were waiting for Ms. Smith.
00:34:29Lewis Group.
00:34:30Maplewood branch.
00:34:31Both of you. Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:37Look who can't even get into a meeting.
00:34:40Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.
00:34:43And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:34:47Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:34:49Used me? Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:54You're so stupid. She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:34:58Don't worry, Brian. You deserve better.
00:35:01And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:35:05Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:35:10New branch manager, huh? Interesting.
00:35:14Laura Lewis? What are you doing here? Get out of here!
00:35:17You claim to be the mystery guest.
00:35:20Don't play games, Laura.
00:35:21I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:35:27Only the top companies get those.
00:35:29Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:35:31Is that so?
00:35:33Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:35:38You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.
00:35:43And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:35:45Escort them out.
00:35:49What?
00:35:50Their visit is over.
00:35:51Oh, come on.
00:35:52This way, please.
00:35:54I'm not leaving.
00:35:56Move.
00:35:57We're not leaving again.
00:35:58Move.
00:35:58Oh, no, no, no.
00:35:59We're not going.
00:35:59Now.
00:36:00This isn't over, Laura.
00:36:02You'll see.
00:36:06Thanks for waiting, Ben.
00:36:09Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:13And thank you for defending me.
00:36:17I really appreciate it.
00:36:21Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:25Yes, but it's going to be tricky.
00:36:27Why?
00:36:31I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:36:37Yes.
00:36:38Laura.
00:36:40There's something you should know.
00:36:42Is, is this about Ben?
00:36:46Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.
00:36:50He won't even get past security.
00:36:52Laura, it's not Ben.
00:36:56It's someone else.
00:36:59Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:37:04Yes.
00:37:06Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:37:09She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:37:13She's my ex-fiancee.
00:37:16And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:37:21And, let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:37:28And, for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.
00:37:34And, you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting for...
00:37:42Out of jealousy?
00:37:47There's a possibility.
00:37:48She's kind of jealous.
00:37:51Well, all the more reason for you to be there.
00:37:56So, I'll be there too.
00:37:59Laura, would you consider being a guest at the meeting?
00:38:08What?
00:38:09Are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too?
00:38:13Maybe a little.
00:38:14But, mostly, I want to show them we're a team.
00:38:17Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.
00:38:24Laura.
00:38:28I don't care about your best.
00:38:31I just want to be by your side.
00:38:33I think I'm falling for you.
00:38:34Brian.
00:38:44I appreciate your honesty.
00:38:48And, right now, I'm just not...
00:38:51I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:38:56Just with everything going on.
00:38:58And going on.
00:38:59It's okay.
00:38:59I just want to be up front.
00:39:04And if Chloe tries anything,
00:39:06you won't face her alone.
00:39:11There's just one thing I do need.
00:39:15What is it?
00:39:18A formal dress.
00:39:29Uh, security.
00:39:32She doesn't belong here.
00:39:34This is a private store.
00:39:36Excuse me.
00:39:37We need some assistance.
00:39:39I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:39:44Wow.
00:39:45It's beautiful.
00:39:47It is.
00:39:48I'll try this one off.
00:39:50Don't bother with her.
00:39:51She can't afford anything here.
00:39:53She's just a cleaner.
00:39:54She doesn't deserve to shop here.
00:39:56She has no money.
00:39:56Yeah, exactly.
00:40:00I mean, what are you doing here?
00:40:01Can't you just leave me alone?
00:40:03I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared.
00:40:06I'm here for retail therapy.
00:40:08Oh, please.
00:40:10This store is for the A-list only.
00:40:12Not some cheapskate like you.
00:40:14Says the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:40:16Hey, show some respect.
00:40:19Typical Laura.
00:40:20Just think she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.
00:40:23I would have asked you, but without me, I'm sure they're already booked.
00:40:28Oh, please.
00:40:29Come on.
00:40:29We'll take the dress.
00:40:30Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:40:33Uh, what do you mean you don't sell it?
00:40:36I want it.
00:40:37Name your price.
00:40:38It's not about the price, ma'am.
00:40:40This one was custom made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress.
00:40:43The entire brand belongs to her.
00:40:45This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.
00:40:49It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:40:52What are you talking about?
00:40:53Of course it would suit her.
00:40:54It'd fit her just fine.
00:40:56And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:41:00Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.
00:41:07Oh, please.
00:41:09Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?
00:41:11We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:41:13Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.
00:41:16You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:41:19Could you please tell me more about this dress?
00:41:22Of course.
00:41:23Uh, it was custom made for Laura Lewis, heiress to the Lewis Group fortune.
00:41:28And stitched in Italy, naturally.
00:41:31And apparently there are many more like it this year.
00:41:34High-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.
00:41:39Laura, do you like this dress?
00:41:42Of course.
00:41:43It's custom made for me.
00:41:46I'm just here to take what's already mine.
00:41:48Oh, you can't be serious.
00:41:50There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.
00:41:53Fine, fine.
00:41:54If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?
00:41:57It would look incredible on me.
00:41:59Miss, this dress is very delicate.
00:42:03If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:42:07Are you calling me fat?
00:42:08Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand?
00:42:14How's that sound?
00:42:15Sir, are you serious?
00:42:16You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:42:20This brand is worth at least $50 million.
00:42:21And to buy it for a waitress?
00:42:26Are you out of your mind?
00:42:27Yes.
00:42:28You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:42:31Just one second.
00:42:34Yes, this is Brian Shepherd, CEO of Shepherd Group.
00:42:38I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:42:41I'm interested in purchasing your high-fashion brand.
00:42:45Sorry, sir.
00:42:51That brand is not for sale.
00:42:54You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.
00:42:59Mr. Yates.
00:43:01Yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:43:04I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to...
00:43:08to Shepherd Group.
00:43:10Oh, come on.
00:43:11Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:43:14Exactly.
00:43:15Come on, this is pathetic.
00:43:16You really think this is going to work?
00:43:18It's sad.
00:43:18Excellent.
00:43:20Thank you, Mr. Yates.
00:43:22That's all.
00:43:29Yes?
00:43:33What?
00:43:35Are you willing to sell me the brand?
00:43:39Awesome.
00:43:44Hello?
00:43:46Yes.
00:43:47Wow.
00:43:48Yes, of course.
00:43:50Absolutely.
00:43:51Mm-hmm.
00:43:54This store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepherd.
00:43:58The Shepherd Group is the new owner.
00:44:01How may I be up service today, sir?
00:44:03Well, Laura, I don't know much about pressure.
00:44:07So I would like to give you this brand to you.
00:44:09You can't be serious.
00:44:11You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:44:14Don't listen to her, Brian.
00:44:17You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.
00:44:20You're not welcome here.
00:44:21I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:27I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:30Of course.
00:44:33Oh, come on.
00:44:34Sir?
00:44:35Ma'am?
00:44:35You're afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:44:37Well, we're not leaving, okay?
00:44:38Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:40This isn't over, Laura!
00:44:42Could I try the dress on now?
00:44:43Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:44:45You just follow me.
00:44:52Wow.
00:44:54Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.
00:45:00Laura, you look breathtaking in this dress.
00:45:04Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:45:11Laura.
00:45:14Because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.
00:45:18And that includes this dress.
00:45:23Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:45:26I, I need a moment.
00:45:30Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:45:36Does that mean it could be a yes?
00:45:38Maybe.
00:45:45Hi.
00:45:53Hi.
00:45:53Well, well, well.
00:46:00Look who decided to join the party.
00:46:02Playing dress-up again, Laura?
00:46:04One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:46:07And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:46:09You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?
00:46:12For this.
00:46:13This gold digger.
00:46:14You know, Ben, I really cared about you.
00:46:18Even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:46:21I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:46:25Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:46:31Enough!
00:46:32I've had enough of this drama.
00:46:34Yeah, me too.
00:46:35Try that again, and you'll regret it.
00:46:38Now, get the hell out of my face.
00:46:40Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:46:42Yeah.
00:46:45I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:46:48What?
00:46:49That's impossible.
00:46:51I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:46:56Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group, your name is on the list.
00:47:00What?
00:47:00It looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.
00:47:04You don't have an invitation.
00:47:06You're just here because of Brian.
00:47:12Let me see this.
00:47:13This doesn't even look real.
00:47:14It's different from mine.
00:47:15Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:20This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:47:25Please, right this way.
00:47:27We can continue this discussion later.
00:47:29If you manage to get in.
00:47:34Sir?
00:47:35Madam?
00:47:36We recommend you leave.
00:47:38No.
00:47:38There you are!
00:47:41How dare you steal my fiancée!
00:47:45There you are!
00:47:47How dare you steal my fiancée!
00:47:49Looks like another relationship fights the dust, Laura.
00:47:53Looks like stealing men is 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, Clay.
00:48:01That ended a long time ago.
00:48:03Engaged to you.
00:48:04Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:48:08Your relationship's history.
00:48:11That was just a little tiff.
00:48:13You really think that could tear us apart?
00:48:16Don't you know who I am?
00:48:18Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:48:20Oh, honey.
00:48:21She don't recognize royalty, let alone a duke.
00:48:24She's just a maid, remember?
00:48:26I don't have time for all this drama.
00:48:30Brian?
00:48:31Let's head inside.
00:48:33Brian!
00:48:34How could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:48:38Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:48:42There's nothing left to say, Gloria.
00:48:43Don't make this a scene.
00:48:45Shall we?
00:48:52You okay, Miss Duke?
00:48:54And you are?
00:48:56Amber Smith.
00:48:57I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:49:01What branch?
00:49:01I've never heard of it.
00:49:02What do you want from me?
00:49:03That Laura!
00:49:05She tore up my invitation.
00:49:07Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:09What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:49:13Please don't waste my time.
00:49:14I love you.
00:49:15Oh my God.
00:49:26Really?
00:49:27Oh my God.
00:49:36Huh?
00:49:37If 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.
00:50:12She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:15What?
00:50:16Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:21Well, she's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.
00:50:25What are you planning?
00:50:27I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:50:33Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:36Now, I had no idea she would be so...
00:50:40In this?
00:50:44What do you mean?
00:50:45You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:50:48I mean, you guys are just...
00:50:49Power couple.
00:50:52I see what you're doing.
00:50:55Power couple, you say?
00:50:58More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:51:02Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:51:05Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:51:08It'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?
00:51:32That's enough.
00:51:34This is getting us nowhere.
00:51:35Laura is my guest.
00:51:38And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:51:43Got it?
00:51:45Mr. 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.
00:51:53Beautiful and successful.
00:51:56What more could you ask for?
00:51:57That's a good question.
00:52:00Not much, actually.
00:52:02Honesty.
00:52:04That's what I want.
00:52:06And love.
00:52:08Things that clearly Chloe has no idea.
00:52:11I said I was sorry.
00:52:13What more do you want?
00:52:15I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:52:17She's like a daughter to me.
00:52:19I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:52:25One more chance, Brian.
00:52:27Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:52:30Do it, Mr. Shepard.
00:52:32Propose right here, right now.
00:52:36Brian?
00:52:39Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:52:43By forcing a ring on someone?
00:52:47Do it.
00:52:48Or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:52:51Don'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.
00:53:15The 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.
00:53:35Perhaps 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, that you're the missing heiress, Laura Lewis?
00:53:47One 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, but wow.
00:54:03Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?
00:54:07You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.
00:54:10That's enough.
00:54:11You don't get to talk here.
00:54:12You got mad, Shepard.
00:54:14You dare to go against Miss Duke.
00:54:15And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:54:18Anyone who insults Laura.
00:54:21Leaves with a black eye.
00:54:23It's willing to offend 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.
00:54:45Lewis Group RS?
00:54:48You?
00:54:49Don't make me laugh.
00:54:51Security!
00:54:53Remove these two impostors from the premises.
00:54:55Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:54:57Give Brian another chance.
00:54:59Choose, Brian.
00:55:00Me and the future you deserve.
00:55:03Or this fraud.
00:55:07Chloe.
00:55:08I have everything I ever wanted right here.
00:55:13And I wouldn't trade all the powers that took so many.
00:55:16Fine.
00:55:23Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:24What?
00:55:25You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:29Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:31The Duke family.
00:55:33They can't be serious.
00:55:34Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:36Brian.
00:55:37You don't have to do this for me.
00:55:40Laura.
00:55:42Now we'll never let anyone bully you.
00:55:44Let alone them.
00:55:46Thank you, Brian.
00:55:48For believing in me.
00:55:51For protecting me.
00:55:55Now it's my turn to protect you.
00:56:03Listen carefully.
00:56:05I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.
00:56:09At all costs.
00:56:11Don't let it drop even one cent.
00:56:15Do you understand?
00:56:16Wow.
00:56:18Award winning performance, Laura.
00:56:21But you can't possibly control the stock market.
00:56:24Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:28If the Shepard stock holds
00:56:32for the next five minutes,
00:56:37you owe me a public apology.
00:56:40Deal.
00:56:50Well, looks like your five minutes is up.
00:56:56Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
00:56:58What the?
00:57:04Does Shepard group stock prices?
00:57:05It's going up.
00:57:07This can't be happening.
00:57:09It must be a coincidence.
00:57:15Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
00:57:19There was a huge investment.
00:57:21We couldn't compete.
00:57:21Shepard 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 found me on half of Maplewood.
00:58:28You don't deserve this.
00:58:30Let's get out of here.
00:58:32Hold on.
00:58:34This
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
00:58:48get to sit there.
00:58:49Like I said, Chloe,
00:58:51that's my seat.
00:58:58I had a rumor floating
00:59:00around a 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
00:59:08Mr. Shepherd.
00:59:09Wasn't it?
00:59:10Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
00:59:13Is this how you charm all your men?
00:59:15Shall we?
00:59:16My pleasure.
00:59:18What are you doing?
00:59:20Let go.
00:59:22It doesn't matter what happened.
00:59:23I chose to stay by Laura's side.
00:59:26Let's go.
00:59:28Don't be absurd.
00:59:30That seat is a presenter
00:59:31for a very important guest.
00:59:33Someone so esteemed
00:59:35even the Vice Presidents
00:59:37have to bow low.
00:59:40And
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.
00:59:57Ask Peter Young.
00:59:58He decides which investments are they?
01:00:00It's Chloe Duke,
01:00:01Head of Duke Industries.
01:00:03So glad you could join us.
01:00:04Why is everyone standing around?
01:00:05It's her.
01:00:07She's making a huge scene
01:00:08trying to claim the VIP seat.
01:00:10It's embarrassing.
01:00:11That seat's reserved
01:00:12for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
01:00:15Specifically the 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 one thing
01:00:37crystal clear.
01:00:43I
01:00:43am the heir
01:00:46of the Lewis family.
01:00:48Ask Peter Young.
01:00:52This is ridiculous.
01:00:53You,
01:00:54the Lewis heir.
01:00:55Don't you know that
01:00:56Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:00:58You must be out of your mind
01:00:59trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:01:01Exactly.
01:01:02We ran a background check on 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.
01:01:07before that
01:01:09I could see her in my
01:01:10family's supermarket.
01:01:12See,
01:01:12Brian,
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,
01:01:31she'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 do 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 you 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,
01:02:56right?
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.
01:03:57Vice 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've 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 with 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 in
01:05:34ten minutes.
01:05:36You're bluffing.
01:05:37You're nobody.
01:05:39You'll always be
01:05:39a 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
01:05:53your 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
01:06:11talking about?
01:06:12No.
01:06:16It's impossible.
01:06:18Chloe,
01:06:19what have you
01:06:19done?
01:06:20Years of hard work
01:06:21destroyed in minutes.
01:06:26What did you
01:06:27do?
01:06:29Well,
01:06:30Chloe,
01:06:31isn't this
01:06:33what you wanted?
01:06:33To give me
01:06:34a little taste
01:06:35of destruction?
01:06:35This is impossible.
01:06:38It's impossible.
01:06:40Chloe,
01:06:41what have you
01:06:42done?
01:06:43The news is
01:06:43everywhere.
01:06:45Shepard's launched
01:06:45a full-scale
01:06:46assault on the
01:06:47stock market.
01:06:48They're hammering
01:06:49our shares.
01:06:50Are you sure
01:06:51it's just Shepard's?
01:06:52Yes!
01:06:53Shareholders
01:06:53are dumping
01:06:54our stock
01:06:55like it's a hot
01:06:56potato.
01:06:57We could go
01:06:58bankrupt.
01:06:59You've ruined
01:06:59everything.
01:07:00Don't worry,
01:07:01Mr. Duke.
01:07:02When your company
01:07:03does go bankrupt,
01:07:05I'll buy it
01:07:06at a fire sale
01:07:07price.
01:07:07Your employees
01:07:08won't even be
01:07:09affected.
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
01:07:20for us.
01:07:21Everything I did,
01:07:22I did for us,
01:07:23Brian!
01:07:26Chloe,
01:07:26you need help.
01:07:29These feelings
01:07:30you have for me,
01:07:31it's not love.
01:07:33it's obsession.
01:07:35Enough.
01:07:37If you don't want
01:07:37to ruin everything
01:07:38completely,
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 Arma!
01:07:55Get out of me!
01:07:57Mark!
01:07:58You hear me?
01:08:01What is going on here?
01:08:02Did they finally
01:08:04expose Laura'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
01:08:12projects.
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
01:08:18with 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 that
01:08:30he would let us meet
01:08:31with the new heir.
01:08:32You're right.
01:08:33If we can just
01:08:33meet with the 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.
01:08:47Vice Presidents,
01:08:48allow me to introduce
01:08:50my associate,
01:08:51Brian Shepard.
01:08:53I'm sure
01:08:54I've mentioned him.
01:08:55Mr. Shepard,
01:08:56it's finally 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
01:09:06of that success
01:09:07is next to 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 your
01:09:34kind words,
01:09:34Mr. Vice President.
01:09:43Did 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 Lewis Group.
01:09:55So you're
01:09:55Laura's uncle?
01:09:57In the flesh.
01:09:59So Laura
01:10:00really is your niece?
01:10:01Yes,
01:10:02little Laura.
01:10:04She just threw away
01:10:05her birthright
01:10:06about two,
01:10:07three years ago.
01:10:08Ran off
01:10:09and married 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
01:10:14and Mr. Yates
01:10:15on her side.
01:10:16Did you hear
01:10:17she's throwing a banquet
01:10:17in a few days
01:10:18to announce
01:10:18her official takeover?
01:10:20And we can't
01:10:21let that happen,
01:10:22can we, my dear?
01:10:23If you're Ian Lewis,
01:10:25wouldn't you have
01:10:26the family ring?
01:10:27Well, my dear,
01:10:28that's where you come in,
01:10:29Miss Duke.
01:10:30We need you
01:10:31to relinquish 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 bother,
01:10:40I must say.
01:10:42But,
01:10:42if successful,
01:10:44I guarantee
01:10:44that you
01:10:45and the Duke family
01:10:46will get back
01:10:47everything you've lost.
01:10:49Laura's got the VPs
01:10:50and Brian on her side.
01:10:52How can I possibly
01:10:53get the ring?
01:10:54There is a way,
01:10:55you know,
01:10:55that we can make
01:10:56Laura relinquish
01:10:58and give up
01:10:59that ring
01:11:00willingly.
01:11:03Laura, my dear,
01:11:04welcome.
01:11:05Uncle Ian,
01:11:06it's so good
01:11:08to see you.
01:11:12Laura.
01:11:13It's so good
01:11:13to see you.
01:11:14And you.
01:11:15It's been
01:11:15too long.
01:11:17Two,
01:11:18three years,
01:11:19perhaps.
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 busy
01:11:26keeping Lewis Group
01:11:28afloat.
01:11:29Yes.
01:11:29Kind of been easy.
01:11:30Indeed.
01:11:31Somebody had to.
01:11:32I mean,
01:11:33after you left me
01:11:34with everything to do,
01:11:35without a safe pair of hands,
01:11:36I hate to think
01:11:37it would have happened
01:11:38to the company.
01:11:40Actually,
01:11:40Uncle Ian,
01:11:41from what I've heard,
01:11:43you've lost billions
01:11:44with some
01:11:45questionable
01:11:46investment decisions.
01:11:48Yes.
01:11:49Minor mistakes.
01:11:50Minor.
01:11:51Don't worry,
01:11:52Uncle Ian.
01:11:53I won't hold it
01:11:53against you.
01:11:54Oh.
01:11:55Good.
01:11:56Well,
01:11:57cheers to you
01:11:58coming back here.
01:12:00And
01:12:00the Lewis Group.
01:12:03Oh!
01:12:03I'm so sorry,
01:12:06Laura.
01:12:06How clumsy of me.
01:12:08No,
01:12:09no worries,
01:12:10Uncle Ian.
01:12:10I'll just go
01:12:12to the restroom
01:12:13and get cleaned up.
01:12:15Of course.
01:12:16Right away.
01:12:17Just down to the left.
01:12:24Is it wisely?
01:12:26Oh, I will.
01:12:33Hey, 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.
01:13:01Come to the abandoned
01:13:04warehouse
01:13:04in the eastern suburbs
01:13:05now.
01:13:08Don't tell anyone
01:13:09if you want her alive.
01:13:13Well,
01:13:14you certainly do
01:13:14have your ways.
01:13:19Oh,
01:13:20thank 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.
01:13:26I'm going to be in.
01:13:27Lovely to see you again.
01:13:29Yeah.
01:13:29I guess
01:13:29I'll see you
01:13:30the day after
01:13:31tomorrow
01:13:32at the banquet.
01:13:33At the banquet.
01:13:35I'll see you then.
01:13:37Will do.
01:13:37Looking forward to it.
01:13:41Laura!
01:13:42Laura!
01:13:43Where are you?
01:13:45Laura!
01:13:46Laura!
01:13:47Where are you?
01:13:49Laura!
01:13:51Laura, where are you?
01:13:52Laura!
01:13:53I got you.
01:13:58Laura!
01:13:58Laura!
01:14:00You weren't expecting
01:14:01that, were you?
01:14:13Finally!
01:14:14Looks like your little
01:14:15boyfriend got turned around.
01:14:16What the?
01:14:18Laura, where are you?
01:14:18Laura?
01:14:19Laura?
01:14:20Go shut your mouth.
01:14:21Chloe, what have you done?
01:14:25Are you out of your mind?
01:14:26Out of my mind?
01:14:28You were the one that left me
01:14:29for that tram and destroyed my life!
01:14:31That's not true.
01:14:32You were the one who messed up!
01:14:34Brian!
01:14:35Laura!
01:14:38Stay where you are.
01:14:40You better come alone.
01:14:42You shot this knife, Chloe.
01:14:44This is insane!
01:14:46Zane!
01:14:46I did this for us, Brian!
01:14:49We were meant to be together.
01:14:52Us?
01:14:53You've gone crazy!
01:14:54And you're out of here!
01:14:55Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious event.
01:15:00They're going to lock you up for years!
01:15:02You think I care about jail time?
01:15:06What I care about is tearing you two apart.
01:15:08You don't deserve him.
01:15:10What have you done?
01:15:11You've destroyed my life!
01:15:14My company, everything!
01:15:17Now I'm going to destroy your life.
01:15:20Give me a family ring now.
01:15:23Give it to me!
01:15:24This is about the ring.
01:15:26Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:15:30You know, Chloe,
01:15:31trying to kill me,
01:15:33that's foolish.
01:15:36Because who do you think is going to win?
01:15:39You?
01:15:39That will not hurt.
01:15:41Or...
01:15:42Me.
01:15:45Something a little bit more persuasive.
01:15:54Freeze!
01:15:56Don't move, anyone.
01:16:00Don't move.
01:16:01You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.
01:16:04Miss Lewis,
01:16:06having fun without me?
01:16:08I'm hurt.
01:16:08Are 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
01:16:33might run into some.
01:16:35Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:39So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:16:41Talk,
01:16:42or face the consequences.
01:16:44Fine.
01:16:45It was Ian Lewis.
01:16:47He...
01:16:47He said he'd help Duke Industries
01:16:49if I kept you away from the bank room today.
01:16:51Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:16:55I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:57I owe every word, Miss Lewis.
01:17:02Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:17:13This is crazy.
01:17:17Are we really sure we can do this?
01:17:18All these big companies here.
01:17:19It'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
01:17:28we make a good impression
01:17:29on the new heir.
01:17:31There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:32You can introduce us.
01:17:33Let's go.
01:17:34Yeah.
01:17:37Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:17:38I'm Amber Smith.
01:17:39We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:41This is Ben Harrison
01:17:42from Harrison Group.
01:17:43How do you do?
01:17:44We're the company that...
01:17:45Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:47Miss Smith, you're the one
01:17:47who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:17:50Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:17:57Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:17:58Can 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
01:18:07in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:10A night where the rightful heir
01:18:11takes their place.
01:18:13Would you please join me
01:18:14in welcoming the heir
01:18:16to the Lewis Group,
01:18:17Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:19Look, everybody, attention.
01:18:21Attention, please.
01:18:23There's been a recent development
01:18:25of some tragedy.
01:18:29I just got noticed
01:18:30from a phone call
01:18:31a couple of minutes ago
01:18:32that Laura has been
01:18:34in a car accident.
01:18:36And tragically,
01:18:37she hasn't made it.
01:18:38She has not survived.
01:18:40What?
01:18:44Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:46It doesn't matter now.
01:18:48She's gone.
01:18:49Mr. Lewis,
01:18:49is this new...
01:18:50A tragic turn of events,
01:18:52Mr. Yates.
01:18:53But rest assured,
01:18:54the Lewis Group
01:18:55will continue
01:18:55under my competent leadership.
01:18:59Hold on.
01:19:00Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:04Laura.
01:19:04I don't understand.
01:19:11What's happening?
01:19:13Laura?
01:19:14But weren't you...
01:19:15My apologies
01:19:16for the delay, everyone.
01:19:19There seems to be
01:19:20some misunderstanding.
01:19:22Laura,
01:19:23what are you doing here?
01:19:24You've got to stop this.
01:19:25If you upset
01:19:25the Lewis family anymore,
01:19:26we're all doomed.
01:19:27I'll save this once.
01:19:29Back off then.
01:19:30Thank you
01:19:36for coming, everyone.
01:19:37As I'm sure you know,
01:19:40tonight,
01:19:41I officially
01:19:42reclaim my title
01:19:44as the CEO
01:19:45of Lewis Group.
01:19:49Perhaps
01:19:50you could make
01:19:52some room for me,
01:19:53Uncle Ian.
01:19:54Impossible.
01:19:55How are you still alive?
01:19:57Well, clearly,
01:19:57I am alive
01:19:58and well,
01:19:59so
01:19:59why don't we
01:20:00get this started?
01:20:01No.
01:20:02You're not
01:20:03the rightful heir.
01:20:04You gave that away
01:20:05when you married
01:20:06Ben Harrison.
01:20:09Uncle Ian,
01:20:10is that seriously
01:20:10your archbess
01:20:11that you have
01:20:11that I got married
01:20:12too quickly?
01:20:14Well,
01:20:15you went off
01:20:15to Maplewood
01:20:16three years ago
01:20:16and married a stranger
01:20:17and left me
01:20:19to work tirelessly
01:20:20keeping the company together.
01:20:21Uncle Ian,
01:20:23retire.
01:20:24Enjoy
01:20:25your retirement.
01:20:27Lewis Group
01:20:27will be perfectly fine
01:20:28without you.
01:20:29know
01:20:29there can only
01:20:30be one heir
01:20:32and that's me
01:20:33and the rightful heir
01:20:35has possession
01:20:36of this.
01:20:38You think a ring
01:20:39makes an heir?
01:20:41You're even more foolish
01:20:42than I could have
01:20:43ever imagined.
01:20:45Give that back to me.
01:20:47This?
01:20:48Yes.
01:20:49You think some
01:20:49shiny gold thing
01:20:51makes you the heir?
01:20:53Give it back.
01:20:54True leadership
01:20:56is about earning
01:20:58the respect
01:20:59of those around you
01:21:00not some stupid ring.
01:21:04Oh, my ring?
01:21:05Look at Don,
01:21:05where is it?
01:21:09My ring?
01:21:11Now,
01:21:12everyone,
01:21:12if I could have
01:21:13your attention.
01:21:14How dare you?
01:21:14Let me show you
01:21:16how a true
01:21:17heir
01:21:18earns a ring like that.
01:21:22Talk.
01:21:23It's working
01:21:24to talk about.
01:21:25Fine.
01:21:26It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:27He said he'd help
01:21:29drinking distress
01:21:30if I kept you away
01:21:30from the banker today.
01:21:31Oh, quite the spectacle,
01:21:36Mr. Lewis.
01:21:37Security,
01:21:39escort him out.
01:21:40And Ian,
01:21:41don't fall over.
01:21:43It's all lies.
01:21:44It's all lies.
01:21:45Fakery.
01:21:45It's fake news.
01:21:46Get him out of here.
01:21:48Now.
01:21:52I owe all of you
01:21:54an apology
01:21:54for everything
01:21:56that's happened tonight.
01:21:57Turns out,
01:21:58reclaiming my birthright
01:21:59didn't go as smoothly
01:22:01as I had hoped.
01:22:03Luckily,
01:22:04these past few days,
01:22:05I've had
01:22:06Mr. Shepherd
01:22:08by my side.
01:22:10And he has been
01:22:11a great support.
01:22:14Lewis Group
01:22:15has a lot
01:22:17of exciting plans
01:22:18for Maplewood.
01:22:20I'm proud to announce
01:22:22that
01:22:22we have secured
01:22:24a reliable
01:22:25partner.
01:22:28Shepherd Group.
01:22:29What?
01:22:30Laura?
01:22:31Hold on.
01:22:32This was never
01:22:33my idea.
01:22:34This was all
01:22:34Kathy 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
01:22:43pointing the fingers
01:22:44at all the women
01:22:45in your life.
01:22:46Just don't
01:22:47shut Harrison Group out.
01:22:48Just give me
01:22:49another chance.
01:22:50How could I
01:22:51shut you out?
01:22:52I'm just a cleaner,
01:22:54remember?
01:22:54I'm just a useless
01:22:56housewife.
01:22:57I don't have that power.
01:22:58What 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. Shepherd?
01:23:07Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:23:09I was wondering
01:23:10if
01:23:10maybe you wanted
01:23:13to grab dinner
01:23:14sometime.
01:23:15On me.
01:23:19Miss Lewis.
01:23:23I would love to.
