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. I 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, today is Ben's birthday.
00:02:11The day you can do.
00:02:12And just to take a look at this Innocent and you know that your friends have ever been
00:02:14anythingwho you've experienced with you, have ever been able to be missing?
00:02:15Let me know about the payments.
00:02:16If you're pregnant, I'm not going to be able to get him out.
00:02:18How could I catch him?
00:02:19Mr. Yates?
00:02:21How could I get the money when you have the money?
00:02:22What am I happening to you?
00:02:23I'm not going to get the money.
00:02:28Mr. Yates?
00:02:29Mr. Yates?
00:02:30You know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:31Ma'am, I still don't understand why you kept your identity a secret and why you've
00:02:35married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:36Today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:41Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:46Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:02:50Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you onto the house. For my sake.
00:03:06Divorce papers, sign it.
00:03:16Why? You 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 Shepherd 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.
00:03:58What are you doing here?
00:04:00Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:04Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:07Local royalty.
00:04:09A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:12And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:04:15Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor. Doesn't it, Ben?
00:04:21What's going on?
00:04:22Is this why you want a divorce? Because of her?
00:04:27Oh, please. I've spent years building Harrison Group. You're still a cleaner.
00:04:33We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:35Grown apart? No.
00:04:39No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:45I won't sign.
00:04:48Huh. Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:52Ben.
00:04:54Alright. Here, $100,000. Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:59$100,000.
00:05:01I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:07Do 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.
00:05:14This is our active charity tool.
00:05:17Here. A million dollars. Take 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.
00:05:31Since none of you respect me.
00:05:35A cleaning lady, threatening us.
00:05:38I'm so scared.
00:05:40Just leave. You already make this house stink.
00:05:50Thank 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.
00:06:22Yeah. She saved our hiding now.
00:06:24Remember?
00:06:26Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:31I don't know.
00:06:33Let's get to the vinyl news.
00:06:38Hey! What are you doing? Let go of me!
00:06:40You 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!
00:06:57That's enough!
00:06:58Laura, I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:12It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:18You see, it's...
00:07:20Who are you?
00:07:21Laura'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!
00:07:30Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:31Your information.
00:07:32My 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.
00:07:49That's ridiculous!
00:07:50He doesn't look like that.
00:07:52My ring.
00:07:54Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:07:55Hey, 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 or have you been sneaking around?
00:08:07It's a lie, ma'am.
00:08:08This is none of your business.
00:08:10All brown dead bodies.
00:08:11You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.
00:08:15We are the Harrisons.
00:08:16You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:18Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:08:21Now 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.
00:08:35Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:40Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:44I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:47After how they treated you.
00:08:51Maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:52No.
00:08:54No, the event will proceed.
00:08:57Besides, I'll be there.
00:08:59There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:05Who are you?
00:09:06Truly.
00:09:07You'll find out.
00:09:09Mr. Shepard.
00:09:11Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:13Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners and we're going to 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 going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:40Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:09:42I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:44Ben Harrison, you're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:51After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:03Only 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!
00:10:11We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:10:14Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:15This is a business event, after all.
00:10:18Business?
00:10:19You 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 have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:32Oh, Ben.
00:10:33Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:37Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:38Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:40You don't belong here.
00:10:43Just get out!
00:10:44That's what you get.
00:10:45This contract is mine.
00:10:46To give or take away as I see fit.
00:10:47Don't be ridiculous!
00:10:48This is insane!
00:10:49Who do you think you are?
00:10:50Yeah, put that down.
00:10:51You have no idea what you're doing.
00:10:52Security!
00:10:53She's lost a mind!
00:10:54This is a disaster!
00:10:55Ben.
00:10:56Ben.
00:10:57This contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't
00:11:03deserve it.
00:11:04What?
00:11:05What?
00:11:06What?
00:11:07What?
00:11:08What?
00:11:09What?
00:11:10What?
00:11:11What?
00:11:12What?
00:11:13What?
00:11:14Who do you think you are?
00:11:15Yeah, put that down.
00:11:16You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:17Security!
00:11:18She's lost a mind!
00:11:19This is a disaster!
00:11:20Ben.
00:11:21This contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't deserve
00:11:23it...
00:11:24Ben.
00:11:25You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:48You're so silly, Lauren.
00:11:50Oh please, honey.
00:11:51You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:54Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:57I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:12:01And after careful consideration, I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working
00:12:08with the Shepherds.
00:12:09You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've
00:12:13done?
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.
00:12:50Wait a minute.
00:12:51This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:53It's her.
00:12:54She ruined the contract.
00:12:56You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:58An affair?
00:12:59She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:13:04Mom, please, it's okay.
00:13:05This man is-
00:13:06Don't touch me!
00:13:07That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair, and you just stand
00:13:12there?
00:13:13You're a disgrace.
00:13:14An adulterer.
00:13:15You deserve to be ar-
00:13:16Shut up!
00:13:20Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you, this woman has tricked
00:13:25you.
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.
00:13:50That's absurd.
00:13:51It's-
00:13:52It's-
00:13:53It's absurd!
00:13:54High Society heirs wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood!
00:13:58Yeah, 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.
00:14:07She'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 in need a waitress at the diner.
00:14:19Okay, 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.
00:14:45I 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.
00:14:56Don't lie.
00:14:57You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:15:00Oops.
00:15:01That roof was built with lies.
00:15:04Kathy, you never respected me.
00:15:06And Ben, dumping 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.
00:15:28Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:31From everything.
00:15:37Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:15:38Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:41And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:42I don't think so.
00:15:43You're a cleaner.
00:15:45You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:47Nobody cares about you.
00:15:48Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:53I don't need a fancy title or 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 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...
00:16:37But, well...
00:16:38A lie, you say?
00:16:39Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harris syndrome, but I don't
00:16:44recognize you.
00:16:45Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:47Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:50This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:53But...
00:16:54The contract...
00:16:55I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:16:56Can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:16:57Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:16:58Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis involved.
00:17:00I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:02Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:03Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:17Miss Smith, you lied to us!
00:17:19Let's say that you are not the same.
00:17:22The Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:27Miss Smith, you lied to us!
00:17:28Ms. Smith, you lied to us. You destroyed everything.
00:17:34What? No, it's a misunderstanding. I can explain.
00:17:38Lewis? Lewis Family Group? This can't be.
00:17:42Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:45Lewis 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.
00:18:01Everyone, listen to me.
00:18:03Shepherd Group will not be partnered with Harrison.
00:18:07A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:14The charade is over, Ms. Harrison.
00:18:17Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:22Ms. Lewis?
00:18:23Shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:32Help!
00:18:33Mom!
00:18:34Someone get her doctor!
00:18:35Mom!
00:18:36It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepherd.
00:18:42Indeed.
00:18:43Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:53What?
00:18:54What?
00:18:55What now?
00:18:56Mom, this is not all on me.
00:19:01Not on you!
00:19:02I was trying to help.
00:19:04She cheated on you with Shepherd.
00:19:06Flaunted their affair.
00:19:08Exactly.
00:19:09And those dresses?
00:19:11Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:19:14Ms. Smith.
00:19:15How 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 Shepherd would fall for Laura.
00:19:26She'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.
00:19:36The Shepherds are no one special.
00:19:38We can expose Laura in all her lies.
00:19:41Go national.
00:19:42We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:44Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to you.
00:19:56Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepherd.
00:19:59Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:20:01It's all right, 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. Shepherd.
00:20:12I'll be fine.
00:20:13Excuse 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 to go out for dinner sometime?
00:20:22Just casually, of course.
00:20:24Mr. Shepherd, are you asking me out?
00:20:28Please, call me Brian.
00:20:31And yes, technically you're single now.
00:20:36Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner...
00:20:42Ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
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 are you saying?
00:21:02Dinner?
00:21:03Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:11I'm sorry, Mr. Shepherd.
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?
00:21:22Laura?
00:21:23Who is it?
00:21:24Laura, wait!
00:21:25Jason, find out who owns that car.
00:21:29And do it fast.
00:21:30Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:21:31It's Amber Smith.
00:21:32Mr. Lewis?
00:21:33I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:44I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.
00:21:46How did you get this number?
00:21:47Don't worry about that right now.
00:21:48I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:21:50Someone I know very well.
00:21:51Impersonating my niece.
00:21:52And where is this fake Laura?
00:21:55Right here in Maplewood.
00:21:56And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:00Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:22:02I'm sorry.
00:22:03I'm sorry.
00:22:04I'm sorry.
00:22:05I'm sorry.
00:22:06I'm sorry.
00:22:07I'm sorry.
00:22:08I'm sorry.
00:22:09I'm sorry.
00:22:10I'm sorry.
00:22:11I'm sorry.
00:22:12I'm sorry.
00:22:13I'm sorry.
00:22:14I'm sorry.
00:22:15I'm sorry.
00:22:16I'm sorry.
00:22:17I'm sorry.
00:22:18I'm sorry.
00:22:19What is she doing exactly?
00:22:21And 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.
00:22:33All will be revealed then.
00:22:35Very well.
00:22:36I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.
00:22:39But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:22:42It won't be.
00:22:43Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:22:45Thank you, Mr.
00:22:46That little rascal, Laura.
00:22:55I wonder what she's up to now.
00:23:01That car belongs to Mr. Yeats.
00:23:03The Lewis family butler.
00:23:05Oh.
00:23:07The Lewis family?
00:23:09That's interesting.
00:23:11Could 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?
00:23:26What do you mean?
00:23:28Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:30We 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.
00:23:41You cheated on me.
00:23:46Is this your new fling?
00:23:48Ex-divorcey.
00:23:50Used a clean floor.
00:23:52It's quite the catch, you say.
00:23:54Look.
00:23:55My relationship with her is none of your business.
00:23:58And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:24:01Please.
00:24:02An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:24:07It's a classic story.
00:24:08That's enough.
00:24:09I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:24:12You want to be careful, Brian.
00:24:14Duke 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.
00:24:25Seems 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, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:31I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:33Well, well, well.
00:24:34Look who it is.
00:24:35What a surprise.
00:24:36Did Brian teach you already?
00:24:37That's none of your business.
00:24:38Do you?
00:24:39No.
00:24:40No.
00:24:41No.
00:24:42No.
00:24:43No.
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.
00:24:58Simple of your business.
00:24:59Now move aside please.
00:25:00Laura.
00:25:01Just what do you do you do, you... you street rat?
00:25:02You really think you can just ruin my events again?
00:25:05Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:25:06Don't you have any shame?
00:25:07If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:25:12Oh The Nerds.
00:25:13After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them
00:25:17too?!
00:25:18Seriously?
00:25:19I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:23Oh, that's gold.
00:25:25You really think that they're going to 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?
00:25:46I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:25:50I know what this is.
00:25:53So stupid.
00:25:54Oh, shut your 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 Lose Group.
00:26:06And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:26:08Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this?
00:26:21Oh, that's rich.
00:26:23You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.
00:26:26I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.
00:26:29Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?
00:26:33You mean my uncle?
00:26:36Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:38Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:26:43And 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?
00:27:09Not that I know of.
00:27:11See?
00:27:12She's lying.
00:27:13There you have it, Laura.
00:27:14Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:27:17Go on, get lost before things get worse.
00:27:22Here, take this one.
00:27:24Lead me to the vice president's.
00:27:25You have no idea what you just did.
00:27:30There be consequences.
00:27:34Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,
00:27:40why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?
00:27:44Security, security, we need this woman removed immediately.
00:27:47She is harassing me.
00:27:49We're done with your games, Laura.
00:27:50You're just a fraud.
00:27:52Man, please move me.
00:27:53What?
00:27:53Hold on.
00:27:57Brian Shepard?
00:27:59You 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.
00:28:17How 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.
00:28:37What, 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.
00:28:42Miss 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.
00:28:48It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:52These people don't think that I belong here.
00:28:55Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:58A cleaner?
00:28:59Nonsense.
00:29:00I personally agreed to Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:29:05Exactly.
00:29:06Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:14I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:29:16No, 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.
00:29:24She's insane.
00:29:25Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.
00:29:29She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.
00:29:33No, it's a lie.
00:29:36Mr. 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, is 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.
00:29:56Who are you and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:29:59Enough of this.
00:30:00That's enough.
00:30:01Have you embarrassed yourself enough?
00:30:03This is Lewis Group property.
00:30:05Behave or I'll call security.
00:30:06But 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.
00:30:24Thank you for stepping in, Brian.
00:30:30I owe you one.
00:30:33We'll talk about this later.
00:30:35Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Anderson.
00:30:40Excuse 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.
00:31:01Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Ms. Smith.
00:31:07Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:31:11Ian Lewis, Mr. Lewis, reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:31:20Expansion plans?
00:31:22Ms. Smith, a decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:31:27And 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.
00:31:38Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.
00:31:41Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...
00:31:43Ms. Smith, we'd like you to leave.
00:31:46If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:52Hey, stop there.
00:31:54This elevator is for VIP only.
00:31:57Back, please.
00:31:58Of course.
00:31:59My apologies.
00:32:01Oh, Laura?
00:32:09Vice Presidents, it'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, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:32:25The 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.
00:32:39A big one.
00:32:40In just a few days.
00:32:42Local powerhouses and smaller players, too.
00:32:45They'll all be there, in one spot.
00:32:48Ms. Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.
00:32:52She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.
00:32:59She said that, did she?
00:33:01Well, Ms. Smith is a liar.
00:33:03There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:33:06She lied so blatantly.
00:33:08It was unbelievable.
00:33:10Well, don't worry.
00:33:11I found a much more suitable partner.
00:33:16Shepherd Group.
00:33:17Shepherd Group?
00:33:18Your rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:33:22Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:25So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:33:29Oh, don't worry about Amber.
00:33:33I've got plans for her.
00:33:37Ms. Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the legend from us.
00:33:46Cheers.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:48I'm not leaving.
00:33:59What are you talking about?
00:34:00No, come on.
00:34:00Wait!
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.
00:34:17Of 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, Kathy.
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.
00:34:35Accusations like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:38Look who can't even get into a meeting whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.
00:34:46And let's not forget the mystery guest that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:34:49Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:34:52Used me?
00:34:53Unlike some people.
00:34:54I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:56I 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.
00:35:04And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group, appointed by
00:35:09the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:35:12New branch manager, huh?
00:35:15Interesting.
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.
00:35:23Don'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.
00:35:32Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:35:34Is that so?
00:35:36Well 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.
00:36:01Oh, no, no, no.
00:36:02We're not going.
00:36:02Now.
00:36:03Okay, fine, fine.
00:36:04This isn't over, Laura.
00:36:05You'll see.
00:36:06Thanks for waiting, Ben.
00:36:12Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:16And thank you for defending me.
00:36:19I really appreciate it.
00:36:24Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:26Yes, but it's going to be tricky.
00:36:33Why?
00:36:34I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:36:40Yes, Laura.
00:36:43There's something you should know.
00:36:46Is 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.
00:36:54Laura, it's not Ben.
00:36:59It's someone else.
00:37:02Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:37:07Yes.
00:37:09Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:37:12She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:37:15She's my ex-fiancee.
00:37:17And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:37:24And, let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:37:31And 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?
00:37:43For, out of jealousy?
00:37:50There's a possibility.
00:37:51She's kind of jealous.
00:37:54Well, all the more reason for you to be there.
00:37:59Besides, I'll be there too.
00:38:01Laura, would you consider being my guest at the meeting?
00:38:10What?
00:38:12Are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too?
00:38:15Maybe a little.
00:38:17But, mostly, I want to show them your team.
00:38:21Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.
00:38:27Laura.
00:38:27I 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.
00:38:42Brian.
00:38:47I appreciate your honesty.
00:38:50And, right now, I'm, I'm just not, I, I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:38:58Just, with, with everything going on, and going on, and...
00:39:02It's okay.
00:39:03I just want to be upfront.
00:39:07And if Gledra is anything, you won't face her alone.
00:39:11There's just one thing I do need.
00:39:18What is it?
00:39:20A formal dress.
00:39:22Oh, security!
00:39:35She doesn't belong here.
00:39:37This is a private store.
00:39:38Excuse me.
00:39:40We need some assistance.
00:39:41I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:39:47Wow.
00:39:48It's beautiful.
00:39:49It is.
00:39:50I'll try this one off.
00:39:52Uh, don't bother with her.
00:39:54She can't afford anything here.
00:39:56She's just a cleaner.
00:39:57She doesn't deserve to shop you.
00:39:58She has no money.
00:40:01Yeah, exactly.
00:40:03I 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.
00:40:09I'm here for retail therapy.
00:40:11Oh, please.
00:40:13This store's for the A-list only.
00:40:14Not some cheatskate like you.
00:40:17Says the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:40:19Hey, show some respect.
00:40:22Typical Laura.
00:40:23Just thinks 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, we'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.
00:40:40Name your price.
00:40:41It's not about the price, ma'am.
00:40:43This 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.
00:40:55What are you talking about?
00:40:56Of course it would suit her.
00:40:57It'd fit her just fine.
00:40:59And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:41:03Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.
00:41:06Oh, please.
00:41:11Don'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?
00:41:24Of course.
00:41:26Uh, it was custom-made for Laura Lewis, heiress to the Lewis Group fortune,
00:41:31hand-stitched in Italy, naturally.
00:41:33Yeah, apparently there are many more like it.
00:41:36This would be high-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.
00:41:42Laura, do you like this dress?
00:41:45Of course.
00:41:46It's custom-made for me.
00:41:48I'm just here to take what's already mine.
00:41:51Oh, you can't be serious.
00:41:52There 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.
00:42:10Are 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?
00:42:19You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:42:22This brand is worth at least $50 million.
00:42:25And 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.
00:42:37Yes, this is Brian Shepard, CEO of Shepard 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.
00:42:56You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.
00:43:02Mr. Yates, yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:43:07I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepard 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.
00:43:21Excellent.
00:43:23Thank you, Mr. Yates.
00:43:24That's all.
00:43:32Yes?
00:43:36What?
00:43:38Are you willing to sell me the brand?
00:43:42Awesome.
00:43:47Hello?
00:43:49Yes.
00:43:49Wow.
00:43:51Yes, of course.
00:43:53Absolutely.
00:43:57This store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepard.
00:44:01The Shepard 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 this brand to you.
00:44:13You can't be serious.
00:44:14You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:44:17Don't listen to her, Brian.
00:44:20You 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.
00:44:30I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:33Of course.
00:44:34Oh, come on.
00:44:37Sir, ma'am, we're afraid I have to ask you to leave.
00:44:40Well, we're not leaving.
00:44:41Okay?
00:44:41Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:43This isn't over, Laura!
00:44:45Could I try the dress on now?
00:44:46Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:44:48You just follow me.
00:44:49Miss 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.
00:45:26Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:45:30I...
00:45:30I need a moment.
00:45:32But perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:45:39Does that mean it could be a yes?
00:45:41Maybe.
00:45:48Hi.
00:45:56Hi.
00:45:59What?
00:46:00Well, well, well.
00:46:03Look who decided to join the party.
00:46:05Playing dress-up again, Laura?
00:46:07One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:46:10And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:46:12You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?
00:46:15For this?
00:46:16This gold digger?
00:46:18You know, Ben,
00:46:19I really cared about you,
00:46:21even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:46:24I knew the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:46:28Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood?
00:46:30Aren't equipped to deal with you at the shows.
00:46:34Enough!
00:46:35I've had enough of this drama.
00:46:37Yeah, me too.
00:46:38Try that again,
00:46:39and 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.
00:46:46Yeah.
00:46:46I'm sorry, Miss Smith,
00:46:50but your name's not on the guest list.
00:46:51What?
00:46:52That's impossible.
00:46:54I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:46:59Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group,
00:47:02the name is on the list.
00:47:03It looks 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.
00:47:15Let me see this.
00:47:16This 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.
00:47:30We can continue this discussion later.
00:47:32If you manage to get in.
00:47:37Sir?
00:47:38Madam?
00:47:39We recommend you leave.
00:47:41There you are!
00:47:44How dare you steal my fiancée!
00:47:48There you are!
00:47:50How dare you steal my fiancée!
00:47:52Looks like another relationship fights the dust, Laura.
00:47:56Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours.
00:47:59Get away from him!
00:48:00He's engaged to me!
00:48:01Hey, hey, hey.
00:48:02Hold your horses, Glenn.
00:48:04That ended a long time ago.
00:48:06Engaged to you.
00:48:07Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:48:11Your relationship's history.
00:48:14That was just a little tiff.
00:48:16You really think that could tear us apart?
00:48:19Don'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?
00:48:45There's nothing left to say, Glenn.
00:48:46Don't make this a scene.
00:48:48Shall we?
00:48:49You okay, Miss Duke?
00:48:57And you are?
00:48:59Amber Smith.
00:49:01I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:49:04What branch?
00:49:04I've never heard of it.
00:49:05What do you want from me?
00:49:07That Laura!
00:49:07She tore up my invitation.
00:49:10Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:12What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:49:16Please don't waste my time.
00:49:17Do you think you're right?
00:49:21Good!
00:49:24So, my husband just said,
00:49:25emily,
00:49:25wait.
00:49:27When I first decided,
00:49:28I like fun.
00:49:33It's now!
00:49:34Hi!
00:49:34Cool!
00:49:35If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:49:52The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:49:56Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.
00:49:59Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:50:01Good.
00:50:01I need your help with something.
00:50:05What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.
00:50:09It's Brian.
00:50:10Who's that woman? I thought you were...
00:50:13She's a con woman. She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:18What? Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:24She's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.
00:50:28What are you planning?
00:50:29I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:50:36Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:40I had no idea she would be so...
00:50:44intense.
00:50:45What do you mean? You so should have taken her up on her offer. I mean, you guys are just...
00:50:54Power couple.
00:50:55I see what you're doing. Power couple, you say?
00:51:01More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:51:04Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:51:08Actually, Brian, my seat is up there.
00:51:14Really?
00:51:15She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:51:18Excuse me.
00:51:19This is my VIP invitation.
00:51:21I can sit wherever I like.
00:51:23Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:51:25This is signed by all three VPs of Louis Group.
00:51:29Where did you get this?
00:51:31Who did you have to sleep with?
00:51:32That's enough.
00:51:33This is getting us nowhere.
00:51:34Laura is my guest.
00:51:35And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:51:38Got it?
00:51:39Mr. Shepherd, what do you see in that woman?
00:51:52Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:51:54She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.
00:51:59What more could you ask for?
00:52:01That's a good question.
00:52:03Not much, actually.
00:52:05Honesty, that's what I want.
00:52:09And love.
00:52:10Things that clearly Chloe has no idea.
00:52:14I said I was sorry.
00:52:16What more do you want?
00:52:18I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:52:20She's like a daughter to me.
00:52:21I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:52:25Anyway.
00:52:30One more chance, Brian.
00:52:32Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:52:34Do it, Mr. Shepherd.
00:52:37Propose right here.
00:52:39Right now.
00:52:40Brian?
00:52:41Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:52:48By forcing a ring on someone?
00:52:51Do it, or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:52:57Don't you dare.
00:52:58You're humiliating yourself.
00:53:00Dare you?
00:53:01Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:53:02Yes.
00:53:03I like her.
00:53:04But I can't imagine someone like her interesting in me.
00:53:08The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:53:13Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:14I know.
00:53:15I know.
00:53:16Exactly.
00:53:17This woman is trouble.
00:53:18She doesn't belong here.
00:53:19Throw her out.
00:53:20You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me.
00:53:27Interesting turn of events.
00:53:30Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:53:37Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing
00:53:51heiress Laura Lewis?
00:53:54You know what?
00:53:55Maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:53:58How ridiculous.
00:53:59Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:54:02I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow.
00:54:09Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?
00:54:13You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.
00:54:15That's enough.
00:54:16You don't get to talk here.
00:54:18You got mad, Shepard.
00:54:19You dare to go against Miss Duke.
00:54:21And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:54:23Anyone who insults Laura leaves with a black eye.
00:54:28She's willing to defend the chick for her.
00:54:30What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:32I want to be careful, Brian.
00:54:34Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:54:38Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:54:41The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not Shepard Group.
00:54:48The Lewis Group RS?
00:54:49You?
00:54:50Don't make me laugh.
00:54:51Security!
00:54:52Remove these two impostors from the premises.
00:54:53Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:54:54Give Brian another chance.
00:54:55Choose, Brian.
00:54:56Me and the future you deserve.
00:54:57Or this fraud.
00:54:58Chloe.
00:54:59I have everything I ever wanted.
00:55:03Right here.
00:55:04And I wouldn't trade for all the power that looks hard to me.
00:55:07Fine.
00:55:08Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:09What?
00:55:10You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:11Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:12The Duke family, they can't be serious.
00:55:13The Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:14I have everything I ever wanted, right here.
00:55:18And I wouldn't trade for all the power that took so many wood.
00:55:22Fine.
00:55:28Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:30What?
00:55:32You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:35Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:37The Duke family, they can't be serious.
00:55:40Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:42And you don't have to do this for me.
00:55:46Laura, I will never let anyone bully you.
00:55:50Let alone them.
00:55:52Thank you, Brian, for...
00:55:55For believing in me.
00:55:57For protecting me.
00:56:00Now it's my turn to protect you.
00:56:04Listen carefully.
00:56:10I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.
00:56:14At all costs.
00:56:16Don't let it drop even one cent.
00:56:20Do you understand?
00:56:22Wow.
00:56:23Award winning performance, Laura.
00:56:26But you can't possibly control the stock market.
00:56:30Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:34If...
00:56:36The Shepard stock holds...
00:56:38For the next five minutes...
00:56:42You owe me a public apology.
00:56:46Deal.
00:56:47Well...
00:56:48Looks like your five minutes is up.
00:57:01Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
00:57:04What the...
00:57:09The Shepard Group's stock price is...
00:57:11It's going up!
00:57:13This can't be happening.
00:57:14It must be a coincidence.
00:57:21Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
00:57:24There was a huge investment.
00:57:26We couldn't compete.
00:57:27Shepard stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:31How did you do this?
00:57:33Like I said, Chloe...
00:57:36I'm...
00:57:38Laura Lewis.
00:57:39No, you're not.
00:57:40You're just some cleaner.
00:57:41You don't have access to billions.
00:57:44Well...
00:57:46I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:48There is no way I'm apologizing to you.
00:57:49If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:57:51Chloe?
00:57:52The truth is...
00:57:54Everyone here...
00:57:56Has seen you be a bully.
00:57:58And a coward.
00:58:00And now...
00:58:02A sore loser.
00:58:04This is such a shame.
00:58:06I'm sorry.
00:58:07I'm sorry.
00:58:08I'm sorry.
00:58:09I'm sorry.
00:58:10I'm sorry.
00:58:11I'm sorry.
00:58:12I'm sorry.
00:58:13I'm sorry.
00:58:14I'm sorry.
00:58:15I'm sorry.
00:58:16I'm sorry.
00:58:17This is so humiliating for her.
00:58:20How did she manage that?
00:58:22Maybe she really is a Lewis.
00:58:25Apologize to Miss Lewis.
00:58:27Shut up.
00:58:28Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.
00:58:31Don't forget...
00:58:32The Duke found me on half of Maplewood.
00:58:34You don't deserve this.
00:58:36Let's get out of here.
00:58:38Hold on.
00:58:40This...
00:58:41Is where I belong.
00:58:43And that...
00:58:45Is my chair.
00:58:47You can't go there.
00:58:48That is the VIP section.
00:58:50Only those invited by the Lewis Group Vice Presidents get to sit there.
00:58:55Like I said, Chloe...
00:58:58That's my seat.
00:58:59I had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
00:59:07Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepard.
00:59:15Wasn't it?
00:59:16Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
00:59:19Is this how you charm all your men?
00:59:21Shall we?
00:59:23My pleasure.
00:59:25What are you doing?
00:59:27Let go.
00:59:28It doesn't matter what happens.
00:59:30I choose to stay by Laura's side.
00:59:33Let's go.
00:59:34Don't be absurd.
00:59:35That seat is reserved for a very important guest.
00:59:39Someone so esteemed, even the Vice Presidents have to bow low.
00:59:46And...
00:59:48How exactly, Mr. Jones?
00:59:51Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
00:59:55Wait.
00:59:56That's Peter Young.
00:59:57Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group.
01:00:03Ask Peter Young.
01:00:04He decides which...
01:00:05Mr. Young.
01:00:06It's Chloe Duke.
01:00:07Head of Duke Industries.
01:00:08So glad you could join us.
01:00:10Why is everyone standing around?
01:00:11It's her.
01:00:12She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat.
01:00:16It's embarrassing.
01:00:17That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
01:00:21Specifically the family heir.
01:00:22Please get off the stage.
01:00:25Oh yes.
01:00:27Mr. Young?
01:00:28Was it?
01:00:29I think I remember you.
01:00:30You manage my family's investments.
01:00:34Don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:00:37Please get off the stage.
01:00:39That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.
01:00:42I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:00:45I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:00:57This is ridiculous.
01:00:59You?
01:01:00The Lewis heir?
01:01:01Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:01:04You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:01:07Exactly.
01:01:08We ran a background check on her and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.
01:01:13Before that, I could see her in my famous supermarket.
01:01:17See Brian?
01:01:19This is who you've been chasing after.
01:01:21A liar and a cheat.
01:01:23Security!
01:01:24Get this impostor out of here.
01:01:26Everyone here is a witness.
01:01:28Why would any of you trust Laura?
01:01:31If any of you dares to harm her, you have to go through me first.
01:01:35Brian, she's just some nobody.
01:01:39She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.
01:01:43They didn't even want her.
01:01:44What exactly do you see in her?
01:01:46Escort this impostor out of here.
01:01:48Now!
01:01:50I'm Peter.
01:01:51Peter.
01:01:52Do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:01:53Mr. Yates.
01:01:54I'm so glad you could join us.
01:01:56Miss Lewis.
01:01:57Sorry about the delay.
01:01:58And for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:02:00It's no trouble, Mr. Yates.
01:02:03Luckily I haven't been alone.
01:02:04I've had the great company of my very loyal friend.
01:02:08Wait a minute.
01:02:09She's Miss Lewis.
01:02:10Is this a joke?
01:02:12Mr. Yates.
01:02:13You're new to the Lewis Group.
01:02:15So I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.
01:02:17I'm so glad you could join us.
01:02:19Miss Lewis.
01:02:20Sorry about the delay.
01:02:22And for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:02:23It's no trouble, Mr. Yates.
01:02:25Luckily I haven't been alone.
01:02:27I've had the great company of my very loyal friend.
01:02:31Wait a minute.
01:02:32She's Miss Lewis.
01:02:33I recognize Miss Lewis.
01:02:35But she listened to lies without checking the facts.
01:02:39And almost called the police.
01:02:42Tell me, Mr. Young, who put you up to this?
01:02:46Was it my uncle or Ian Lewis?
01:02:52I knew it.
01:02:56Consider this your termination.
01:02:59I get it now.
01:03:01This is all an act.
01:03:03Right?
01:03:04Chloe, what are you doing?
01:03:05We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:03:06Work with him?
01:03:07Are you blind?
01:03:08This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:03:11That's enough, young lady.
01:03:13You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.
01:03:15Oh, Chloe.
01:03:16I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:03:17I think you need some professional help.
01:03:18Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:03:19Chloe, that's enough.
01:03:21It's ridiculous.
01:03:22If you were really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.
01:03:23So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:03:24Show us the ring.
01:03:25Show us the ring.
01:03:26Show us the ring.
01:03:27Show us the ring.
01:03:28Why don't you show that to everyone?
01:03:29Show us the ring.
01:03:30Show us the ring.
01:03:31Show us the ring.
01:03:33Show us the ring.
01:03:34Show us the ring.
01:03:35Show us the ring.
01:03:37Why don't you show that to everyone?
01:03:38Show us the ring.
01:03:39Show us the ring.
01:03:40Show us the ring.
01:03:41Show us the ring.
01:03:42Show us the ring.
01:03:43Show us the ring.
01:03:44Show us the ring.
01:03:45Who are you to make demands of me?
01:03:47I don't answer to anyone but myself.
01:03:50I don't need any of your validation.
01:03:55Oh, this ring.
01:03:59Oh, this ring.
01:04:00Oh, this ring.
01:04:03Oh, this ring.
01:04:04Vice Presidents, I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.
01:04:07This woman is an impostor.
01:04:09Miss Lewis, we apologize for the delay.
01:04:12How could you just let that con woman sit there?
01:04:15Get her out of here!
01:04:16This seat was always for Miss Lewis.
01:04:19She's the special guest we've been waiting for.
01:04:23The investment queen.
01:04:25The real heir to Lewis Group, Laura Lewis.
01:04:28Laura Lewis.
01:04:30She was a divorced host wife. A janitor. How can she?
01:04:33She can't be. It's a lie. I'm telling you. It's a lie.
01:04:36Do you think we'd lie?
01:04:38We run Lewis Group.
01:04:40Oh, Chloe. You assaulted me earlier.
01:04:45And you came to this meeting to what?
01:04:48Sabotage it.
01:04:50You'll be hearing from our legal team.
01:04:53Is this true, Miss Duke? Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:05:00Yes, it's all true. She fooled us all.
01:05:04The Duke tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewood and control everything themselves.
01:05:10I had no idea. But I'm on your side.
01:05:14I can give you everything you need. All the resources in Maplewood.
01:05:18Miss Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this?
01:05:22An eye for an eye.
01:05:26Since Miss Duke here loves ruining things, I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:05:39I want them bankrupt in ten minutes.
01:05:42You're bluffing. You're nobody. You'll always be a nobody.
01:05:46And you can't touch me.
01:05:48Then consider this a test, Chloe.
01:05:52I didn't need my family's support with Shepard and I certainly don't need it now.
01:05:57Chloe, you dug your own grave.
01:06:00You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family with just the Shepard group?
01:06:05Please.
01:06:06We'll see.
01:06:07Dad?
01:06:08What?
01:06:09Slow down. What are you talking about?
01:06:10No.
01:06:11It's impossible.
01:06:12Chloe, what have you done? Years of hard work. Destroyed in minutes.
01:06:15What did you do?
01:06:16Well, Chloe, isn't this what you wanted? To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:06:29This is impossible. It's impossible.
01:06:46Chloe, what have you done? The news is everywhere. Shepard's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market. They're hammering our shares.
01:06:53Are you sure it's just Shepard?
01:06:58Yes! Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato. We could go bankrupt. You've ruined everything!
01:07:06Don't worry, Mr. Duke. When your company does go bankrupt, I'll buy it. At a fire sale price. Your employees won't even be affected.
01:07:15Brilliant! A massive stroke, Ms. Lewis.
01:07:20Now, this is my event. Please leave.
01:07:25Brian, I did this for us! Everything I did, I did for us, Brian!
01:07:32Chloe, you need help. These feelings you have for me, it's not love. It's obsession.
01:07:41Enough. If you don't want to ruin everything completely, you'll come with me. Right now.
01:07:48Where?
01:07:49Right now!
01:07:50Don't! Don't!
01:07:52What?!
01:07:58Laura! This isn't over! Get out of me!
01:08:03What is going on here?
01:08:08Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:08:11Shepard Group. They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group from Maplewood.
01:08:16They're handling all future construction projects.
01:08:18That can't be! What about us? That was our project!
01:08:22Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian. Harrison Group is practically out. We have no chance.
01:08:27We can't give up that easily. Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as General Manager.
01:08:33In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.
01:08:37You're right. If we can just meet with a new heir, we can bypass the Shepards and meet directly with the Lewis Group.
01:08:43We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.
01:08:48That's right.
01:08:49That's right.
01:08:53Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.
01:08:59I'm sure I've met you.
01:09:01Mr. Shepard, finally a pleasure to meet you.
01:09:04We've looked into your company's financial review.
01:09:08Very impressive.
01:09:10Thank you, but a large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.
01:09:15No.
01:09:16She practically saved me from disaster three times over now.
01:09:20Brian, you can just call me Laura.
01:09:23Ms. Lewis' recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.
01:09:27Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:09:30Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is gone. Seize it.
01:09:35A woman like Laura is not easy to find.
01:09:39Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.
01:09:50Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:09:52Laura? Hardly.
01:09:54I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.
01:10:01So you're Laura's uncle?
01:10:03In the flesh.
01:10:05So Laura really is your niece?
01:10:07Yes, little Laura.
01:10:10She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.
01:10:14Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.
01:10:17I think he was a Harrison.
01:10:19Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side.
01:10:22Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?
01:10:26And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?
01:10:29If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:10:33Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Miss Duke.
01:10:36We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:10:38What if I, what if I fail? My family is already ruined.
01:10:44Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say.
01:10:47But, if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family will get back everything you've lost.
01:10:55Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side. How can I possibly get the ring?
01:11:00There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly.
01:11:07Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:11:11Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.
01:11:18Laura.
01:11:19It's so good to see you.
01:11:21And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps. How have you been?
01:11:27I've been well, Uncle Ian. Thank you for asking.
01:11:31I see you've been busy keeping Lewis' group afloat.
01:11:35Yes, indeed. Somebody had to. I mean, after you left me with everything to do,
01:11:41without a safe pair of hands, I hate to think it would have happened to the company.
01:11:45Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard, you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.
01:11:54Yes, minor mistakes, minor.
01:11:57Don't worry, Uncle Ian. I won't hold it against you.
01:12:00Oh, good. Well, cheers to you coming back here. And the Lewis group.
01:12:09Oh!
01:12:10I'm so sorry, Laura. How clumsy of me.
01:12:14Uh, no, no worries, Uncle Ian. I, I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.
01:12:21Of course. Right away. Just down to the left.
01:12:24Use it wisely.
01:12:31Oh, I will.
01:12:34Hey, Laura. How's that?
01:12:37Hello, Brian. Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:12:53Chloe, how in the hell did you get Laura's phone?
01:12:58Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:13:00Listen, Chloe. Don't hurt her. Please. I'll do anything.
01:13:07Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs. Now.
01:13:13Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.
01:13:17Well, you certainly do have your ways.
01:13:22Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up. I am sorry. How clumsy.
01:13:29And don't forget your phone. I retrieved it for you.
01:13:32Thank you. I'll go again.
01:13:34Lovely to see you again.
01:13:35Yeah. I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.
01:13:39At the banquet.
01:13:42I'll see you then.
01:13:43Will do. Looking forward to it.
01:13:47Laura! Laura! Where are you? Laura!
01:13:51Laura!
01:13:53Laura! Where are you?
01:13:55Laura! Laura, where are you?
01:13:58Laura!
01:14:03I got you.
01:14:07You weren't expecting that, were you?
01:14:09Finally.
01:14:10Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.
01:14:23What the?
01:14:24Laura, where are you? Laura? Laura?
01:14:26Go shut your mouth.
01:14:28Chloe, what have you done?
01:14:31Are you out of your mind?
01:14:32Out of my mind!
01:14:33You were the one that left me for that tramp and destroyed my life!
01:14:37That's not true. You were the one who messed up!
01:14:40Brian!
01:14:41Laura!
01:14:44Stay where you are.
01:14:46You better not come alone.
01:14:47Shut up this knife, Chloe!
01:14:50This is insane!
01:14:51Insane?
01:14:52I did this for us, Brian!
01:14:55We were meant to be together.
01:14:58Us?
01:14:59You've gone crazy!
01:15:00And you're out of here!
01:15:01Chloe, kid that thing is a very serious event.
01:15:06They're going to lock you up for years!
01:15:08You think I care about jail time?
01:15:11All I care about is tearing me apart.
01:15:14Did I deserve him?
01:15:17What have you done?
01:15:18You've destroyed my life!
01:15:20My company, everything!
01:15:23Now I'm going to destroy your life.
01:15:26Forgive me.
01:15:27Your family ring now.
01:15:29Give it to me!
01:15:30This is about the ring.
01:15:33Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:15:35You know, Chloe?
01:15:38Trying to kill me.
01:15:40That's foolish.
01:15:42Because who do you think is going to win?
01:15:45You?
01:15:47That little knife?
01:15:48Or...
01:15:50Me?
01:15:51Something a little bit more persuasive.
01:16:01Freeze!
01:16:02Don't move anyone.
01:16:05You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.
01:16:10Miss Lewis?
01:16:12Having fun without me?
01:16:14I'm hurt.
01:16:18Are you hurt?
01:16:19No, I'm okay.
01:16:23Tell me, Chloe.
01:16:25Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:16:28Why should I tell you?
01:16:30You're going to kill me anyway.
01:16:32Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:16:35But if you don't talk...
01:16:38Your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:16:42Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:45So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:16:48Talk...
01:16:49Or face the consequences.
01:16:51Fine.
01:16:52It was Ian Lewis.
01:16:54He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the bankroom today.
01:16:58Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:17:01I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:17:06Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:17:08Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:17:10Brian.
01:17:22This is crazy.
01:17:23Are we really sure we can do this?
01:17:24All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:17:26Absolutely.
01:17:27The Lewis Group is under new leadership.
01:17:30We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:32Exactly.
01:17:33We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:17:37There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:39You can introduce us. Let's go.
01:17:40Yeah.
01:17:42Hello, Ian Lewis. I'm Amber Smith.
01:17:45We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:47This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.
01:17:49How do you do?
01:17:50We're the company that...
01:17:51Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:53Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:17:57Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:18:03Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:18:04Can I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:18:09The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:18:12Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:16A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:18:19Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group,
01:18:23Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:25Look, everybody, attention.
01:18:27Attention, please.
01:18:30There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:18:34I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago
01:18:39that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:18:42And tragically, she hasn't made it.
01:18:45She has not survived.
01:18:49What? Laura Lewis? Is this dead?
01:18:53It doesn't matter now. She's gone.
01:18:55Mr. Lewis, is this new...
01:18:56A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:18:59But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue
01:19:02under my competent leadership.
01:19:05Hold on.
01:19:07Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:10Laura.
01:19:15I don't understand.
01:19:17What's happening?
01:19:19Laura?
01:19:20But...
01:19:21Why you...
01:19:22My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:19:25There seems to be some...
01:19:27misunderstanding.
01:19:28Laura, what are you doing here?
01:19:30You've got to stop this.
01:19:31If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:19:34I'll save the spots.
01:19:35Back off, then.
01:19:41Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:19:43As I'm sure you know,
01:19:46tonight, I officially reclaim my title
01:19:51as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:19:55Perhaps...
01:19:57you could make some room for me.
01:19:59Uncle Ian?
01:20:00Impossible.
01:20:01How are you still alive?
01:20:03Well, clearly I am alive.
01:20:04And well.
01:20:05So, why don't we get this started?
01:20:07No.
01:20:08You're not the rightful heir.
01:20:10You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:20:15Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument that you have
01:20:17that I got married too quickly?
01:20:20Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago
01:20:22and married a stranger
01:20:24and left me to work tirelessly,
01:20:26keeping the company together.
01:20:28Uncle Ian.
01:20:29Retire.
01:20:31Enjoy your retirement.
01:20:33Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:20:35No.
01:20:36There can only be one heir.
01:20:38And that's me.
01:20:39And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:20:44You think a ring makes an heir?
01:20:47You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:20:51Give that back to me.
01:20:53This?
01:20:54Yes.
01:20:55You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:20:59Give it back.
01:21:00True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you.
01:21:07Not some stupid ring.
01:21:09Oh, my ring!
01:21:11Look at Don, where is it?
01:21:15My ring!
01:21:17Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.
01:21:20How dare you!
01:21:21Let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.
01:21:29Talk.
01:21:31Fine.
01:21:32It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:34He said he'd help drinking the streets if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:21:38Oh, quite the spectacle, Miss Lewis.
01:21:44Security, escort him out.
01:21:47And Ian, don't fall over.
01:21:49It's all lies.
01:21:50It's all lies.
01:21:51Fakery!
01:21:52It's fake news!
01:21:53The proof is clear!
01:21:54Get him out of here!
01:21:55Now!
01:21:56I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:22:03Turns out, reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:22:09Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr. Shepherd by my side.
01:22:16And he has been a great support.
01:22:21Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:22:27I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:22:35Shepherd Group.
01:22:36What?
01:22:37Laura, hold on.
01:22:38This was never my idea.
01:22:40This was all Cathy and Amber's fault.
01:22:41I don't want a divorce.
01:22:43What?
01:22:44Ben, what are you saying?
01:22:45You came to me first.
01:22:47Classic Ben.
01:22:48Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.
01:22:53Just don't shut Harrison Group out.
01:22:55Just give me another chance.
01:22:56How could I shut you out?
01:22:58I'm just a cleaner, remember?
01:23:00I'm just a useless housewife.
01:23:03I don't have that power.
01:23:04What are you talking about?
01:23:07What?
01:23:08No, come on.
01:23:09Sorry.
01:23:10No, please.
01:23:11Um, Mr. Shepherd?
01:23:13Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:23:14I was wondering if maybe you wanted to grab dinner sometime on me.
01:23:24Miss Lewis.
01:23:25I would love to.
01:23:26Miss Lewis.
01:23:27I would love to.
01:23:29I would love to.
01:23:30I would love to.
01:23:31I would love to.
01:23:32I would love to.
01:23:36Yes, Miss Lewis.
01:23:37Miss Lewis.
01:23:38Miss Lewis.
01:23:39Hell.
01:23:40Yes, Miss Lewis.
01:23:41It's a very small 호of.
01:23:42Hey, yes, Miss Lewis.
01:23:43I would love to.
01:23:44You're afraid.
01:23:45I would love to.
01:23:46You're afraid.
01:23:47Where does this happen?
01:23:48Don't you?
