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.
00:00:20Sir, 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 lunchtime.
00:00:45Hey, this is a private suggestion.
00:00:47Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple 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?
00:01:13What are you doing?
00:01:14You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.
00:01:15Don't be messing with the company funds.
00:01:17This is incredible.
00:01:19What's going on?
00:01:21The shorting attempt.
00:01:23It's failing.
00:01:24The price is holding.
00:01:27Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:30We met before.
00:01:31They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:32Hold on.
00:01:33Tell me.
00:01:34How could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:35If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:51Jason?
00:01:52Can we have fun?
00:01:53Now?
00:01:54Mr. Yates?
00:01:55What?
00:01:56Only two bodyguards this time?
00:01:57You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:01:58No, ma'am.
00:01:59I just thought you might like a scream today.
00:02:00Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Laws Group.
00:02:04Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:05Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and
00:02:09why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:10Look.
00:02:11Today is Ben's birthday.
00:02:12Anything works.
00:02:13What you wanna do is you can always continue to do.
00:02:27I don't separate that.
00:02:28Oh, no.
00:02:29How do you make any friction?
00:02:30Why?
00:02:31I don't think that's why I won't hate this HER.
00:02:34Okay.
00:02:35What?
00:02:36We're really struggling.
00:02:37No, no.
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.
00:02:57Divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:16Why?
00:03:17You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:20The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:03:26The Sheppard Group. And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:03:31The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:03:35I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:37I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:41You, a cleaning woman, handing out million-dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.
00:03:50I did! It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:54I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:57What are you doing here?
00:03:59Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:03Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:06Local royalty? A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:11And what qualifications do you have to judge, Ms. Cleaner?
00:04:15Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it?
00:04:20Ben?
00:04:23What's going on?
00:04:24Is this why you won a divorce? Because of her?
00:04:27Oh, please. I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:04:31You're still a cleaner.
00:04:33You just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:34Grew apart, that's all.
00:04:35Grew apart?
00:04:36Grew apart?
00:04:38No.
00:04:39No, I...I 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 like that.
00:04:59$100,000.
00:05:02I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:07Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:10Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:12You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:15This is our active charity tool.
00:05:17Here.
00:05:18A million dollars.
00:05:19Take this.
00:05:20You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:22Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:25I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.
00:05:32Since none of you respect me.
00:05:36A cleaning lady, threatening us.
00:05:39I'm so scared.
00:05:41Just leave.
00:05:42You already make this house stink.
00:05:51Thank God she's gone.
00:05:52Go to a written store.
00:05:56Sir.
00:05:58Laura Lewis's information.
00:06:03She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:06:05No wonder why she wanted to part with him.
00:06:08Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:11Divorced her?
00:06:14Wait a minute.
00:06:16Don't you remember?
00:06:17She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:21Yeah.
00:06:22She's saved our hiding now.
00:06:24Remember?
00:06:26Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:31Oh.
00:06:33Let's get to the vinyl news.
00:06:38Hey!
00:06:39What are you doing?
00:06:40Let go of me!
00:06:41You attacked Amber!
00:06:42Apologize this instant!
00:06:43Stealing 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!
00:06:57That's enough!
00:06:58Laura.
00:06:59I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:00It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:05You see?
00:07:06Who are you?
00:07:07Laura's new squeeze.
00:07:08Excuse me.
00:07:09Do you know who I am?
00:07:10Is this true?
00:07:11You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:07:13Shame on you!
00:07:14I'm sorry.
00:07:15I'm sorry.
00:07:16I'm sorry.
00:07:17I'm sorry.
00:07:18I'm sorry.
00:07:19I'm sorry.
00:07:20I'm sorry.
00:07:21I'm sorry.
00:07:22I'm sorry.
00:07:23I'm sorry.
00:07:24I'm sorry.
00:07:25I'm sorry.
00:07:26I'm sorry.
00:07:27I'm sorry.
00:07:28Why are you doing that while you were married to my son?
00:07:29Shame on you!
00:07:30Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:31For 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
00:07:48for Ben.
00:07:49That's ridiculous!
00:07:50He doesn't look like that.
00:07:52My ring.
00:07:53Jason, give it back, Mrs. Lewis.
00:07:55Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:59Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.
00:08:02Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this matter? Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:07It's a lie, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:08:10All rabbed dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.
00:08:15We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:18Harrison, compared to the Shepard group, you're nobody. Now go back.
00:08:22What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie.
00:08:26Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura. You come back here and explain yourself.
00:08:30Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.
00:08:35Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:40Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:45I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:48After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:52No! Um...
00:08:54No, the event will proceed.
00:08:57Besides, I'll be there.
00:09:02There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:05Who are you, truly?
00:09:07You'll find out.
00:09:09Mr. Shepard.
00:09:11Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:17Mr. Yates.
00:09:18I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners and...
00:09:24We're gonna have a meeting.
00:09:25An investment meeting.
00:09:27One week from today.
00:09:30Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:32Because after that meeting, I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:39Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:09:41I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:43Ben Harrison.
00:09:45You're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:51After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:03Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:07Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:09Security!
00:10:10Get that woman out of here!
00:10:12We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:10:14Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:16This is a business event, after all.
00:10:18Girl?
00:10:19Business?
00:10:20You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:10:22A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:10:25Just get out!
00:10:26Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:29You should've taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:31Oh, Ben.
00:10:32Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:36Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:38Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:40You don't belong here.
00:10:42Just get out!
00:10:48That's what you get.
00:10:55This contract is mine.
00:10:58To 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?
00:11:05Yeah, put that down.
00:11:06You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:08Security!
00:11:09She's lost a mind!
00:11:10This is a disaster!
00:11:12Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,
00:11:16but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:46You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help?
00:11:48You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:50Oh, please, honey.
00:11:51You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:53Security!
00:11:54Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:57I 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?
00:12:14You have no authority here.
00:12:15Of course she has the authority.
00:12:24That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:12:26What is he doing here?
00:12:27Mr. Shepard?
00:12:28How does he know her?
00:12:29Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:31Laura, are you alright?
00:12:33Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.
00:12:38There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:40There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:43This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.
00:12:47Effective immediately.
00:12:49Wait a minute.
00:12:51This contract?
00:12:52I thought you said you got it.
00:12:53It's her.
00:12:54She ruined the contract.
00:12:56You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:58An affair?
00:12:59She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:13:04Mom, please.
00:13:05It's okay.
00:13:06This man is-
00:13:07Don't touch me.
00:13:08That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair and you just stand there?
00:13:13You're a disgrace.
00:13:14An adulterer.
00:13:15You deserve to be-
00:13:16Shut up!
00:13:20Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you this woman has tricked you.
00:13:26Tricked?
00:13:27Why don't you answer a question yourself, then?
00:13:31What was my name before we got married?
00:13:35Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:37Lewis 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.
00:13:51It's-
00:13:52It's-
00:13:53It's absurd!
00:13:54A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:13:58Yeah.
00:13:59Yeah, it's a lie.
00:14:00It's a lie.
00:14:01This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:14:03In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:14:06She's nothing special.
00:14:08She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:10I was just a waitress.
00:14:13How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:15First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.
00:14:18Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:14:20When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:23Mm-hmm.
00:14:24Now look at me.
00:14:25I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:27And look at her.
00:14:28Still just a clear.
00:14:30Mr. Shepherd, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:34She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:36She's lying, Mr. Shepherd.
00:14:38She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:43Let's make something clear.
00:14:46I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:50I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:56Don't lie.
00:14:57You were never good enough for Ben when you married him. Oops.
00:15:01That roof was built with lies.
00:15:04Kathy, you never respected me.
00:15:06And Ben?
00:15:08Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:11And the cheating.
00:15:13I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:15:16You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:15:21If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy.
00:15:27Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:31From everything.
00:15:37Wait, wait, wait, wait, Laura.
00:15:38You think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:40And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:42I don't think so.
00:15:43You're a cleaner.
00:15:44You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:46Nobody cares about you.
00:15:48Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:52I don't need a fancy title.
00:15:55Or a rich husband to feel important.
00:16:02I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:16:04I think all jobs are important.
00:16:06Right, Mom?
00:16:07Ben, what are you doing?
00:16:09But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:16:14A janitor?
00:16:15Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:24You did.
00:16:25You claimed to have been the one that secured the deal.
00:16:28Aren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:30Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:16:32This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:37I... but, well...
00:16:39A lie, you say?
00:16:40Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harris Syndrome.
00:16:44But I don't recognize you.
00:16:46Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:50Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:53This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:57But the contract... I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:17:01So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:05Reprinted, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:07Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis involvement.
00:17:12I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:16Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:20Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:30Miss Smith, you lied to us.
00:17:32You destroyed everything.
00:17:33What?
00:17:34No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:17:36I can explain.
00:17:37Lewis?
00:17:38Lewis?
00:17:39Lewis Family Group?
00:17:40This can't be.
00:17:42Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:44Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:49Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:54And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:18:00Everyone, listen to me.
00:18:03The Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison Group.
00:18:08A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:14The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:17Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:22Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:26Help!
00:18:27Mom!
00:18:28Someone get a doctor!
00:18:29Mom!
00:18:30It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:42Indeed.
00:18:43Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:56Huh?
00:18:57What?
00:18:58What now?
00:18:59Mom, this is not all on me.
00:19:01Not on you!
00:19:02I was trying to help.
00:19:05She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:19:07Flaunted their affair.
00:19:09Exactly.
00:19:10And those dresses?
00:19:11Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:19:14Miss Smith, how could you do this?
00:19:17We trusted you completely.
00:19:19No, no.
00:19:20I got Ben the deal.
00:19:22I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.
00:19:25She's a liar!
00:19:27Oh, stop it, Amber.
00:19:28You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:19:31Lied?
00:19:32You're on my side!
00:19:34And anyways, I had a plan.
00:19:37The Shepards are no one special.
00:19:39We can expose Laura in all her lies.
00:19:42Go national.
00:19:43We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:47Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to you.
00:19:52Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:19:59Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:20:01It's alright, Laura.
00:20:03You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:20:05Can I ask you something?
00:20:06Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:20:08Maybe a hotel?
00:20:09Don't...
00:20:10Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:12I'll be fine.
00:20:13Um...
00:20:14Excuse me, you can just drop me off.
00:20:16Actually, Laura...
00:20:17Actually, Laura...
00:20:18There is something else.
00:20:20Would you consider going out for dinner sometime?
00:20:22Just casually, of course.
00:20:24Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:20:28Please, call me Brian.
00:20:31And yes...
00:20:33Technically, you're single now.
00:20:35Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:20:45Proper?
00:20:47Proper?
00:20:48Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:20:53Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:20:57Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:21:00So what do you say?
00:21:02Dinner?
00:21:03Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:11I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:21:12I actually have another appointment tonight, so I...
00:21:15I can't...
00:21:16Wait, Laura...
00:21:17Just here is fine.
00:21:21Laura?
00:21:26Laura!
00:21:27Who is it?
00:21:28Laura, wait!
00:21:29Jason, find out who owns that car.
00:21:33And do it fast.
00:21:42Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:21:44It's Amber Smith.
00:21:46Mr. Lewis?
00:21:47I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:52I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.
00:21:55How did you get this number?
00:21:57Don't worry about that right now.
00:21:59I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:22:02Someone I know very well.
00:22:04Impersonating my niece?
00:22:07And where is this fake Laura?
00:22:11Right here in Maplewood.
00:22:13And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:16Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:22:20And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:22:25In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:22:30I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:22:32All will be revealed then.
00:22:34Very 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.
00:22:45Thank you, Mr.
00:22:52That little rascal, Laura.
00:22:56I wonder what she's up to now.
00:23:01That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family butler.
00:23:06Oh.
00:23:07Lewis family?
00:23:09That's interesting.
00:23:12Could you be connected to them somehow?
00:23:15I'm not sure.
00:23:18Brian!
00:23:19There you are.
00:23:20I've missed you.
00:23:21Chloe.
00:23:23What are you up to?
00:23:24Chloe.
00:23:25What are you doing here?
00:23:27What do you mean?
00:23:28Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:31We ended things for a reason.
00:23:33It was just one teensy mistake.
00:23:35I was...
00:23:36I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:37Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:39It's a mistake you said.
00:23:40You cheated on me.
00:23:47Is this your new fling?
00:23:49Ex-divorcey.
00:23:51Used a clean floor.
00:23:52It's quite the catch, you say.
00:23:53Look.
00:23:55My relationship with her is none of your business.
00:23:59And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:24:02Please.
00:24:04An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:24:08It's a classic story.
00:24:09That's enough.
00:24:10I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:24:13You want to be careful, Brian.
00:24:15Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:18If you want Shepard Group to stay afloat,
00:24:21you ought to be more careful.
00:24:26Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:28This is it.
00:24:29The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.
00:24:30Once I'm done speaking with them,
00:24:31I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:33I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:35Well, well, well.
00:24:36Look who it is.
00:24:38What a surprise.
00:24:39Did Brian teach you already?
00:24:41That's none of your business.
00:24:43Do you?
00:24:44No.
00:24:45No.
00:24:46No.
00:24:47No.
00:24:48No.
00:24:49No.
00:24:50No.
00:24:51No.
00:24:52No.
00:24:53No.
00:24:54No.
00:24:55No.
00:24:56No.
00:24:57No.
00:24:58Oh, my God.
00:24:59We will.
00:25:00I will physically go to some of the scene of your business.
00:25:01Now move aside, please.
00:25:02Laura?
00:25:04Just what do you think you're doing?
00:25:06You-You street rat.
00:25:07You really think you can just ruin my events again?
00:25:08Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:25:10Don't you have any shame?
00:25:12If you'll excuse me,
00:25:13I have an important meeting to get to.
00:25:14Oh, the nerd.
00:25:16After everything you've done,
00:25:17you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?
00:25:19Seriously?
00:25:21I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who, here.
00:25:24Oh, that's gold.
00:25:25You really think that they're gonna let you in, Laura?
00:25:27Please, you're no one compared to me.
00:25:30You don't deserve to be here.
00:25:32The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:25:36And you, idiot, believing every lie that she tells you.
00:25:40Wake up, Ben.
00:25:42Oh, Laura!
00:25:44Laura, come on, why do you always pull this on me?
00:25:47I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:25:50I know what this is.
00:25:52So stupid.
00:25:54Oh, such a trap.
00:25:57Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:25:59He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:26:02Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Loose Group.
00:26:06And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:26:09Well, before you all start celebrating,
00:26:14why don't you take a look at this.
00:26:21Oh, that's rich.
00:26:23You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.
00:26:25I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Loose Group.
00:26:29Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?
00:26:32You mean my uncle?
00:26:35Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:37Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:26:42And besides, this looks fake.
00:26:46She's a liar.
00:26:47This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:53It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.
00:26:58She's lying.
00:26:59They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:27:05Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?
00:27:08Not that I know of.
00:27:10See?
00:27:11She's lying.
00:27:12There you have it, Laura.
00:27:15Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:27:17Go on.
00:27:18Get lost before things get worse.
00:27:22Here.
00:27:23Take this one.
00:27:24Lead me to the vice presidents.
00:27:26You have no idea what you just did.
00:27:30There will be consequences.
00:27:33Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,
00:27:39why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?
00:27:44Security!
00:27:45Security!
00:27:46We need this woman removed immediately.
00:27:47She is harassing me.
00:27:48We're done with your games, Laura.
00:27:50You're just a fraud.
00:27:51Ma'am, please move me.
00:27:52What?
00:27:53Hold on!
00:27:57Brian Shepard?
00:27:58You think money buys you the right to walk all over people?
00:28:02Well, it doesn't.
00:28:03Yeah.
00:28:04Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?
00:28:06What other plans do you have to destroy this town?
00:28:09Get you out?
00:28:10After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.
00:28:13Don't play dumb.
00:28:14We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:28:16How long has this little affair been going on?
00:28:19You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.
00:28:22Hold on a second.
00:28:23An affair?
00:28:25You think Laura and I...
00:28:27You people are unbelievable.
00:28:32Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP.
00:28:35We have a situation.
00:28:36What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?
00:28:39Is that it?
00:28:40Well, stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:42Ms. Lewis, apologies for the delay.
00:28:44How can I help you this evening?
00:28:46Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:49It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:52These people don't think that I belong here.
00:28:56Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:59A cleaner?
00:29:00Nonsense.
00:29:01I personally greeted Ms. Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:29:05Exactly.
00:29:07Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:14I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:29:17No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.
00:29:21She's been this way since my son divorced her.
00:29:23She's insane.
00:29:24Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.
00:29:28She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.
00:29:33No!
00:29:34It's a lie!
00:29:35Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too!
00:29:40You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.
00:29:47Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?
00:29:50Wait!
00:29:51Is that why you're covering for her?
00:29:53Because of the affair?
00:29:54Because she slept with you?
00:29:55Excuse me?
00:29:56Of course.
00:29:57How dare you, and how dare you speak to Ms. Lewis that way?
00:29:59Enough of this.
00:30:00That's enough.
00:30:01Heaven will embarrass yourself enough.
00:30:03This is Lewis Group property.
00:30:05Behave or I'll call security.
00:30:07But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access.
00:30:10She shouldn't be here.
00:30:12Since you're having trouble understanding them, let me make it clear.
00:30:17This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.
00:30:20It's mine.
00:30:22To come or go as I please.
00:30:27Thank you for stepping in, Ryan.
00:30:30I owe you one.
00:30:33We'll talk about this later.
00:30:35Well, it seems that divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Edwards.
00:30:40Sheesh.
00:30:42Thanks, Sarah.
00:30:43I don't think we're going to have this here.
00:30:47Come in.
00:30:48Excuse me, Vice Presidents.
00:30:52I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.
00:30:57I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today?
00:31:00Maplewood Branch.
00:31:02Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Ms. Smith.
00:31:07Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:31:10Ian Lewis, Mr. Lewis, reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:31:19Ms. Smith, a decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:31:26And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.
00:31:31But Ian Lewis assured me that...
00:31:34Ms. Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.
00:31:37Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.
00:31:40Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...
00:31:43Ms. Smith, we'd like you to leave.
00:31:45If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:52Hey, stop there.
00:31:54These elevators are VIP only.
00:31:56Back, please.
00:31:57Of course.
00:31:58My apologies.
00:32:05Laura?
00:32:06Laura?
00:32:09Vice-President!
00:32:11It's so good to see all of you again.
00:32:14Ms. Lewis, it's been too long.
00:32:16Your return is a lifesaver, Ms. Lewis.
00:32:19The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's,
00:32:22well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:32:26The board are begging you to come back, Ms. Lewis.
00:32:30Well, please sit.
00:32:32Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.
00:32:36We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.
00:32:40Local powerhouses and smaller players, too.
00:32:45They'll all be there in one spot.
00:32:47Ms. Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.
00:32:51She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager
00:32:55of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.
00:32:58She said that.
00:32:59Did she?
00:33:00Well, Ms. Smith is a liar.
00:33:02There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:33:06She lied so blatantly.
00:33:08It was, it's unbelievable.
00:33:10Don't worry.
00:33:11I found a much more suitable partner.
00:33:16Shepard Group.
00:33:17Shepard Group?
00:33:18Their rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:33:21Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:24So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:33:28Oh, don't worry about Amber.
00:33:33I've got plans for her.
00:33:37Ms. Lewis, consider this your official invitation
00:33:42to the legend from us.
00:33:46Cheers.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:58I'm not leaving.
00:33:59What are you talking about?
00:34:00No, come on.
00:34:01Wait!
00:34:01I'm Amber Smith.
00:34:02I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch.
00:34:04What are you doing?
00:34:05These are my guests.
00:34:05Yeah, that's right.
00:34:06Tell them who we are.
00:34:07Yes, we were waiting for Ms. Smith.
00:34:11Lewis Group Maplewood branch?
00:34:13No such thing, ma'am.
00:34:14And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:34:16Oh, of course.
00:34:18Laura!
00:34:19She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.
00:34:22That's how she gets away with everything.
00:34:24You underestimate her, Cathy.
00:34:26She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.
00:34:28No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:34:32Careful with your words.
00:34:33Both of you.
00:34:35Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:40Look who can't even get into a meeting
00:34:42whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents
00:34:45and let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:34:48Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:34:51Used me?
00:34:52Unlike some people.
00:34:54I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:56You're so stupid.
00:34:58She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:35:00Don't worry, Brian.
00:35:02You deserve better.
00:35:03And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group,
00:35:08appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:35:13New branch manager, huh?
00:35:16Interesting.
00:35:17Laura Lewis?
00:35:18What are you doing here?
00:35:19Get out of here!
00:35:20You claim to be the mystery guest.
00:35:22Don't play games, Laura.
00:35:24I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:35:29Only the top companies get those.
00:35:31Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:35:33Is that so?
00:35:35Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:35:39You see, I'm not sure if you know Ms. Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.
00:35:46And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:35:51Escort them out.
00:35:52What?
00:35:53Their visit is over.
00:35:54Oh, come on.
00:35:55This way, please.
00:35:57I'm not leaving.
00:35:59Move.
00:36:00We're not leaving again.
00:36:01Move.
00:36:02Oh, no, no, no.
00:36:03We're not going.
00:36:04Now.
00:36:05Okay, fine, fine.
00:36:06This isn't over, Laura.
00:36:07You'll see.
00:36:08Thanks for waiting, Ben.
00:36:11Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:15And thank you for defending me.
00:36:19I really appreciate it.
00:36:23Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:27Yes, but it's going to be tricky.
00:36:33Why?
00:36:34I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:36:37Yes, Laura.
00:36:42There's something you should know.
00:36:45Is...
00:36:47Is this about Ben?
00:36:49Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.
00:36:53He won't even get past security.
00:36:55Laura, it's not Ben.
00:36:58It's someone else.
00:37:00Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:37:05Yes.
00:37:07Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:37:10She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:37:14She's my ex-fiancé.
00:37:17And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:37:23And...
00:37:25Let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:37:30And for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.
00:37:35And you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting for...
00:37:47Out of...
00:37:48Jealousy?
00:37:50There's a possibility.
00:37:52She's kind of jealous.
00:37:54Well...
00:37:55All the more reason for you to be there.
00:37:58Besides...
00:38:00I'll be there too.
00:38:04Laura...
00:38:06Would you consider being my guest at the meeting?
00:38:10What?
00:38:11Are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too?
00:38:15Maybe a little.
00:38:17But mostly...
00:38:19I want to show them who we are deemed.
00:38:21Well...
00:38:22It's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.
00:38:27Laura...
00:38:32I don't care about your best.
00:38:34I just want to be by your side.
00:38:36I think I'm falling for you.
00:38:42Ryan...
00:38:47I...
00:38:48I appreciate your honesty and...
00:38:51Right now...
00:38:52I...
00:38:53I'm just not...
00:38:54I...
00:38:55I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:38:58Just with...
00:38:59With everything going on...
00:39:00And...
00:39:01Going on and...
00:39:02It's okay.
00:39:04I just want to be upfront.
00:39:07And if Chloe tries anything...
00:39:09You won't face her alone.
00:39:14There's just one thing...
00:39:16I do need.
00:39:19What is it?
00:39:21A formal dress.
00:39:34Security!
00:39:35She doesn't belong here.
00:39:36This is a private store.
00:39:38Excuse me.
00:39:39We...
00:39:40Need some assistance.
00:39:41I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:39:46Wow.
00:39:47It's beautiful.
00:39:49It is.
00:39:50I'll try this one on.
00:39:52Don't bother with her.
00:39:53She can't afford anything here.
00:39:55She's just a cleaner.
00:39:56She doesn't deserve to shop you.
00:39:58She has no money.
00:40:01Yeah, exactly.
00:40:02I mean, what are you doing here?
00:40:04Can't you just leave me alone?
00:40:05I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared.
00:40:08I'm here for retail therapy.
00:40:10Oh, please.
00:40:12This store is for the A-list only.
00:40:14Not some cheatskate like you.
00:40:16Says the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:40:19Hey!
00:40:20Show some respect.
00:40:21Typical Laura.
00:40:23Just think she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.
00:40:26I would have asked you, but without me, I'm sure you're already broke.
00:40:30Oh, please.
00:40:31Come on.
00:40:32We'll take the dress.
00:40:33Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:40:36Uh, what do you mean you don't sell it?
00:40:38I want it.
00:40:39Name your price.
00:40:40It's not about the price, ma'am.
00:40:42This one was custom made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress.
00:40:46The entire brand belongs to her.
00:40:48This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.
00:40:52It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:40:54What are you talking about?
00:40:56Of course it would suit her.
00:40:57It'd fit her just fine.
00:40:58And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:41:02Well, buying the whole store.
00:41:04Allow me to purchase this dress.
00:41:11Oh, please.
00:41:12Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?
00:41:14We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:41:16Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.
00:41:19You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:41:22Could you please tell me more about this dress?
00:41:25Of course.
00:41:26Uh, it was custom made for Laura Lewis.
00:41:29Heiress to the Lewis Group fortune.
00:41:31Hand stitched in Italy, naturally.
00:41:34Yeah, apparently there are many more like it.
00:41:36This would be high-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.
00:41:41Laura, do you like this dress?
00:41:45Of course.
00:41:46It's custom made for me.
00:41:49I'm just here to take what's already mine.
00:41:51Oh, you can't be serious.
00:41:53There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.
00:41:56Fine, fine.
00:41:57If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?
00:42:00It would look incredible on me.
00:42:02Miss, this dress is very delicate.
00:42:05If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:42:09Are you calling me fat?
00:42:11Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand?
00:42:16How's that sound?
00:42:17Sir, are you serious?
00:42:18You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:42:23This brand is worth at least 50 million dollars.
00:42:26And to buy it for a waitress?
00:42:29Are you out of your mind?
00:42:30Yes.
00:42:31You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:42:34Just one second.
00:42:38Yes, this is Brian Shepherd, CEO of Shepherd Group.
00:42:41I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:42:44I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.
00:42:50What?
00:42:53Sorry, sir.
00:42:54That brand is not for sale.
00:42:57You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.
00:43:00Mr. Yates, yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:43:06I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepherd Group.
00:43:13Oh, come on.
00:43:14Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:43:17Exactly.
00:43:18This is pathetic.
00:43:19You really think this is going to work?
00:43:21It's sad.
00:43:22Excellent.
00:43:23Thank you, Mr. Yates.
00:43:25That's all.
00:43:26Yes?
00:43:36What?
00:43:37Are you willing to submit the brand?
00:43:42Awesome.
00:43:47Hello?
00:43:48Yes?
00:43:50Wow.
00:43:51Yes, of course.
00:43:52Absolutely.
00:43:55The store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepherd.
00:44:02The Shepherd Group is the new owner.
00:44:04How may I be upstairs today, sir?
00:44:06Well, Laura, I don't know much about fashion.
00:44:10So I would like to give you this brand to you.
00:44:13You can't be serious.
00:44:15You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:44:17Don't listen to her, Brian.
00:44:19You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.
00:44:23You're not welcome here.
00:44:24I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:31I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:33Of course.
00:44:34You can't be serious.
00:44:37Oh, come on.
00:44:38Sir?
00:44:39Ma'am?
00:44:40You're afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:44:41Well, we're not leaving.
00:44:42Okay?
00:44:43Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:44This isn't over, Laura!
00:44:45Could I try the dress on now?
00:44:47Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:44:49You just follow me.
00:44:50Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.
00:45:03Laura, you look breathtaking in this dress.
00:45:07Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:45:14Laura, because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.
00:45:19And that includes this dress.
00:45:25Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:45:29I...
00:45:30I need a moment.
00:45:32Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:45:37Does that mean it could be a yes?
00:45:41Maybe.
00:45:42Hi.
00:45:43Hi.
00:45:44Hi.
00:45:45Hi.
00:45:46What?
00:45:47Well, well, well.
00:45:48Look who decided to join the party.
00:45:49Playing dress-up again, Laura?
00:45:50One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:45:54And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:45:56You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?
00:45:57For this?
00:45:58This gold digger.
00:45:59You know, Ben, I really cared about you.
00:46:01Even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:46:02I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:46:03Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't a good thing.
00:46:04You know, Ben, I really cared about you.
00:46:05Even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:46:06I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:46:07Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:46:21Enough!
00:46:22I've had enough of this drama.
00:46:23Yeah, man, we just not made a difference.
00:46:36Yeah, me too.
00:46:38Try that again, and you'll regret it.
00:46:41I'll get the hell out of my face.
00:46:43Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:46:45Yeah.
00:46:48I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:46:51What? That's impossible.
00:46:53I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:46:58Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group,
00:47:01your name is on the list.
00:47:03Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.
00:47:07You don't have an invitation.
00:47:09You're just here because of Brian.
00:47:14Let me see this. This doesn't even look real.
00:47:17It's different from mine.
00:47:18Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:23This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:47:28Please, right this way.
00:47:29We can continue this discussion later.
00:47:32If you manage to get in.
00:47:37Sir? Madam?
00:47:39We recommend you leave.
00:47:43There you are!
00:47:44How dare you steal my fiancé!
00:47:48There you are!
00:47:50How dare you steal my fiancé!
00:47:52Looks like another relationship bites the dust, Laura.
00:47:55Looks like stealing men is a habit of yours.
00:47:58Get away from him!
00:48:00He's engaged to me!
00:48:01Hey, hey, hey.
00:48:02Hold your horses, Gwen.
00:48:03That ended a long time ago.
00:48:05Engaged to you.
00:48:07Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:48:10Your relationship's history.
00:48:14That was just a little tiff.
00:48:15You really think that could tear us apart?
00:48:17Don't you know who I am?
00:48:21Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:48:23Oh, honey.
00:48:24She don't recognize royalty, let alone a duke.
00:48:27She's just a maid, remember?
00:48:29I don't have time for all this drama.
00:48:32Brian?
00:48:34Let's head inside.
00:48:36Brian!
00:48:37How could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:48:41Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:48:44There's nothing left to say, Gwen.
00:48:46Don't make this a scene.
00:48:48Shall we?
00:48:55You okay, Miss Duke?
00:48:57And you are?
00:48:58Amber Smith.
00:49:00I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:49:03What branch?
00:49:04I've never heard of it.
00:49:05What do you want from me?
00:49:06That Laura!
00:49:08She tore up my invitation.
00:49:09Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:11What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:49:15Please don't waste my time.
00:49:36If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:49:52The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:49:54Chloe!
00:49:55Good to see you.
00:49:56I've been expecting you.
00:49:57Uncle Jones.

00:50:02Anything for my little Chloe.
00:50:03It's Brian.
00:50:04Who's that woman?
00:50:05I thought you were...
00:50:06She's a con woman.
00:50:07She's a con woman.
00:50:08She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:09What?
00:50:10Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:13Well, she's pretending to be Louis to get close to him.
00:50:14What are you planning?
00:50:15I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:50:20Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:25I had no idea she would be so...
00:50:30I guess?
00:50:31What do you mean?

01:08:11Shepard group
01:08:12they're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis group from Maplewood
01:08:16they're handling all future construction projects
01:08:19that can't be
01:08:21what about us that was our project
01:08:22remember Laura deemed up with Brian
01:08:25Harrison group is practically out
01:08:27we have no chance
01:08:28we can't give up that easily
01:08:30remember
01:08:31Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager
01:08:34in a few days he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir
01:08:38you're right
01:08:38if we can just meet with the new heir we can bypass the Shepards
01:08:42and meet directly with the Lewis group
01:08:44we just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top
01:08:47and see who comes out on top
01:08:49that's right
01:08:53vice presidents
01:08:55allow me to introduce my associate

01:09:13is thanks to Miss Lewis

01:09:16she practically saved me from disaster
01:09:19three times over now
01:09:20Brian you can just call me Laura
01:09:23Ms. Lewis's recommendation is very telling Mr. Shepard
01:09:27perhaps today clarifies everything
01:09:30Mr. Shepard this opportunity is gone
01:09:34it's easy
01:09:36a woman like Laura is not easy to find
01:09:39thank you for your kind words Mr. Vice President
