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, today is Ben's birthday.

00:02:11Anything.

00:02:12You can see your hand, you may education, think so.

00:02:13What?

00:02:14What if you're looking at it?

00:02:15You may be in my corner, but I'd be safe.

00:02:16It's not true.

00:02:17I'd be safe, dear.

00:02:18Look, this is superhero.

00:02:19It's a very strong wrong person.

00:02:20I mean, it's really bad.

00:02:21What if you don't know of a rank?

00:02:22What if I don't know of a rank?

00:02:23I'm a lot of eminent.

00:02:24I'm a big man.

00:02:25I know.

00:02:26Now, I'm a good man.

00:02:27But, that's a bad man.

00:02:28Be ok.

00:02:29I did.

00:02:30I was really bad.

00:02:31I was really bad.

00:02:32You probably didn't lose my mind.

00:02:33You know.

00:02:34Why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow?

00:02:36Look, today is Ben's birthday.

00:02:38Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.

00:02:41Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.

00:02:46Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.

00:02:50Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house.

00:02:56For my sake.

00:03:04Divorce 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.

00:03:23Especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.

00:03:26The Shepherd Group.

00:03:28And 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.

00:03:46Don't make me laugh.

00:03:50I did!

00:03:51It 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?

00:04:08A small town rich person is royalty.

00:04:11And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?

00:04:14Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor.

00:04:18Doesn't it, Ben?

00:04:20Ben?

00:04:23What's going on?

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

00:04:27Because of her?

00:04:28Oh, please.

00:04:29I've spent years building Harrison Group.

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

00:04:33We just grew apart, that's all.

00:04:35Grown apart?

00:04:38No.

00:04:39No.

00:04:40I...

00:04:41I won't sign any agreement, Ben.

00:04:42I won't sign any agreement, Ben.

00:04:45I won't sign...

00:04:48Huh.

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

00:04:52Ben.

00:04:53Alright.

00:04:54Here.

00:04:55$100,000.

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

00:04:59$100,000.

00:05:01I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.

00:05:07Do 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.

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.

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

00:05:35A cleaning lady, threatening us.

00:05:38I'm so scared.

00:05:40Just leave.

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

00:05:50Thank God she's gone.

00:05:52Go to a written store.

00:05:55Sir.

00:05:58Laura Lewis's information.

00:06:03She's Ben Harrison's wife.

00:06:05No wonder why she wants to partner with him.

00:06:07Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.

00:06:11Divorced her?

00:06:14Wait a minute.

00:06:15Don't you remember?

00:06:16She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.

00:06:21Yeah.

00:06:22She saved our hiding now.

00:06:24Remember?

00:06:25Why 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.

00:06:37Hey!

00:06:38What are you doing?

00:06:39Let go of me!

00:06:40You attacked Amber!

00:06:41Apologize this instant!

00:06:42Stealing from the Harrisons.

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

00:06:45You refused it.

00:06:46And now you're stealing!

00:06:47She couldn't afford it.

00:06:48You're a thief!

00:06:49That's mine!

00:06:50Give it back!

00:06:51Wait!

00:06:52Wait!

00:06:53Wait!

00:06:54That's enough!

00:06:55Laura, I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.

00:06:56It's really no worries Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.

00:07:02You see, it's...

00:07:03Who are you?

00:07:04Laura's new squeeze.

00:07:05Excuse me.

00:07:06Do you know who I am?

00:07:07Is this true?

00:07:08You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?

00:07:09Shame on you!

00:07:10Mr. Shepard, I...

00:07:11For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.

00:07:13I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.

00:07:14Oh, please.

00:07:15Stephen and my wife are in the office.

00:07:16I'm going to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.

00:07:18It's really no worries Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.

00:07:21You see, it's...

00:07:22Who are you?

00:07:23Laura's new squeeze.

00:07:24Excuse me, do you know who I am?

00:07:25Is this true?

00:07:26You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?

00:07:28Shame on you!

00:07:29Mr. Shepard, I...

00:07:30For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.

00:07:35I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.

00:07:36Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.

00:07:40You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?

00:07:43That's really interesting, considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.

00:07:48That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that. My ring.

00:07:53Jason, give it back to Ms. 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 brown dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.

00:08:14We 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?

00:08:25That's a lie.

00:08:26Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura. You come back here and explain yourself.

00:08:29Don'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.

00:08:48After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?

00:08:51No. Um, no. The event will proceed.

00:08:56Besides, 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, Mr. 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.

00:09:29Make 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.

00:09:48You're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.

00:09:52After 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.

00:10:21A 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.

00:10:31Oh, Ben.

00:10:33Do 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.

00:10:51This 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!

00:11:08She's lost a mind.

00:11:10This is a disaster!

00:11:11Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't

00:11:19deserve it, you really think ripping up that contract is going to help?

00:11:35You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?

00:11:48You're so silly, Laura.

00:11:50Oh, please, honey.

00:11:51You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.

00:11:54Security!

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.

00:12:01And 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?

00:12:13You have no authority here.

00:12:15Of course, she has the authority.

00:12:23That'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 all right?

00:12:35Mr. 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.

00:12:42This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.

00:12:48Effective immediately.

00:12:50Wait a minute.

00:12:51This contract, I thought you said you got it.

00:12:53It's her.

00:12:55She 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.

00:13:08That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair, and you just

00:13:12stand there.

00:13:13You're a disgrace.

00:13:14An adulterer.

00:13:15You deserve to be ar-

00:13:16Shut up.

00:13:19Mr. 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?

00:13:41There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.

00:13:45That's crazy.

00:13:47There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.

00:13:50That's absurd.

00:13:51It's...

00:13:52It's absurd!

00:13:55A 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.

00:14:00This woman was a waitress when I met her.

00:14:02In 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 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.

00:14:22Now look at me.

00:14:24I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.

00:14:27And look at her.

00:14:28Still just a clear.

00:14:30Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.

00:14:34She's doing all this out of spite.

00:14:36She's lying, Mr. Shepard.

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.

00:14:50I 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.

00:15:00Oops.

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.

00:15:12I think you're blaming the wrong person.

00:15:17You 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?

00:15:40And 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.

00:15:59I think there's 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.

00:16:16Well, 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?

00:16:30Mr. 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 Harrison Group.

00:16:44But I don't recognize you.

00:16:47Is this true, Miss Smith?

00:16:50Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.

00:16:54This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.

00:16:58But the contract...

00:16:59I mean, Laura tore it up.

00:17:01So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?

00:17:06We're printed, Mr. Harrison.

00:17:08Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis involved.

00:17:12But I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.

00:17:19Today, I want to make it clear.

00:17:22Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.

00:17:29Miss Smith, you lied to us.

00:17:32You destroyed everything.

00:17:34What?

00:17:35No, it's a misunderstanding.

00:17:36I can explain.

00:17:38Lewis?

00:17:39Lewis Family Group?

00:17:41This 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.

00:18:00Everyone, listen to me.

00:18:03Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.

00:18:08A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.

00:18:15The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.

00:18:17Everyone here deserves to see the truth.

00:18:22Miss Lewis,

00:18:22Shall we take this conversation elsewhere?

00:18:32Help!

00:18:33Mom!

00:18:34Someone get a doctor!

00:18:35Mom!

00:18:36It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.

00:18:41Indeed.

00:18:43Perhaps it's best to live them to it.

00:18:45What?

00:18:57What now?

00:18:58Mom,

00:18:59this is not all on me.

00:19:01Not on you?

00:19:03I was trying to help.

00:19:05She cheated on you with Shepard.

00:19:07Flaunted their affair.

00:19:09Exactly.

00:19:09And those dresses?

00:19:11Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?

00:19:14Miss 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 Shepard would fall for Bora.

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,

00:19:35I had a plan.

00:19:37The Shepards are no one special.

00:19:38We 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,

00:19:49I have a very important phone call to you.

00:19:55Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.

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 worry about me, Mr. Shepard.

00:20:12I'll be fine.

00:20:14Excuse me, you can just drop me off.

00:20:16Actually, 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. Shepard, are you asking me out?

00:20:28Please, call me Brian.

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

00:20:36Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.

00:20:45I 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.

00:20:59So, what do you say?

00:21:02Dinner?

00:21:05Just two people getting to know each other.

00:21:11I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.

00:21:12I actually have another appointment tonight.

00:21:14So, I can't.

00:21:16Wait, Laura.

00:21:16Just here is fine.

00:21:21Laura?

00:21:21Who is it?

00:21:28Laura, wait!

00:21:30Jason, find out who owns that car.

00:21:34And do it fast.

00:21:42Ian Lewis, who is this?

00:21:45It's Amber Smith.

00:21:46Mr. Lewis?

00:21:48I'm sorry for the late call,

00:21:49but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.

00:21:53I 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.

00:22:03Someone I know very well.

00:22:06Impersonating my niece?

00:22:08And 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?

00:22:21And more to the point,

00:22:23what do you want from me?

00:22:25In the next few days,

00:22:27the 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,

00:22:40if this is a waste of my time, I...

00:22:42It won't be.

00:22:43Trust me, Mr. Lewis.

00:22:44Thank you, ma'am.

00:22:51That 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 bubler.

00:23:06Oh.

00:23:07Lewis family?

00:23:09That's interesting.

00:23:11Could you be connected to them somehow?

00:23:13I'm not sure.

00:23:17Brian!

00:23:19There you are.

00:23:20I've missed you.

00:23:21Chloe.

00:23:22What 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?

00:23:30We ended things for a reason.

00:23:32It was just one teensy mistake.

00:23:34I was, I was a little bit tipsy.

00:23:38Doesn'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?

00:23:49Ex-divorcey.

00:23:51Used a clean floor.

00:23:52It's quite the catch, you say.

00:23:54Look, my relationship with her is none of your business.

00:23:59And don't you dare talk about her like that.

00:24:02Please.

00:24:03An 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've got the hell out of my office.

00:24:12You 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.

00:24:25Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.

00:24:35This is it.

00:24:36The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.

00:24:39Once I'm done speaking with them,

00:24:40I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.

00:24:43I'll go speak with them first,

00:24:45and then I'll introduce you.

00:24:48Well, well, well.

00:24:49Look who it is.

00:24:51What a surprise.

00:24:52Did Brian teach you already?

00:24:54That's none of your business.

00:24:57Now, move aside, please.

00:24:59Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?

00:25:03You really think you can just ruin my events again?

00:25:04Haven't you ruined my life enough?

00:25:06Don't you have any shame?

00:25:07If you'll excuse me,

00:25:08I have an important meeting to get to.

00:25:11Oh, the nurse.

00:25:13After everything you've done,

00:25:14you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?

00:25:17Seriously?

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.

00:25:39Believing every lie that she tells you.

00:25:40Wake up, Ben.

00:25:42Oh, Laura!

00:25:44Laura, come on.

00:25:45Why do you always pull this on me?

00:25:47I mean, seriously,

00:25:47can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?

00:25:50Well, I 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.

00:26:03Amber got me a partnership with the Loose Group.

00:26:06And unlike some people,

00:26:07I have a real invitation.

00:26:10Well,

00:26:11before you all start celebrating,

00:26:13why don't you take a look at this?

00:26:21Oh, that's rich.

00:26:23You may have Brian Shepard fooled,

00:26:24but you can't fool me.

00:26:26I spoke to Ian Lewis himself,

00:26:28CEO of Loose Group.

00:26:29Speaking of Brian,

00:26:31where 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.

00:26:42And besides,

00:26:44this looks fake.

00:26:46She's a liar.

00:26:48This is a personal invitation

00:26:51from Mr. Yates himself.

00:26:53It grants me access to the VIP elevator,

00:26:55which 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.

00:27:10See?

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,

00:27:17get lost before things get worse.

00:27:22Here,

00:27:22take this one.

00:27:24Lead me to the vice president's.

00:27:25You have

00:27:26no

00:27:27idea

00:27:28what you just did.

00:27:30There

00:27:30be consequences.

00:27:34Besides,

00:27:35if you have this relationship

00:27:37with Ian Lewis

00:27:37that you claim to have,

00:27:40why don't you just ask him

00:27:41to get the two of them

00:27:43an invitation?

00:27:45Security!

00:27:46Security!

00:27:46We 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,

00:27:52place with me.

00:27:53What?

00:27:53Hold on!

00:27:54Brian 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,

00:28:11you 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

00:28:20since 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,

00:28:33get down here ASAP.

00:28:35We have a situation.

00:28:37What, you think you can just

00:28:37boss the manager around now?

00:28:39Is that it?

00:28:40We'll stick around

00:28:40and watch you crash and burn.

00:28:41Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.

00:28:44How can I help you this evening?

00:28:46Thank you, Mr. Carter,

00:28:47for getting down here so quickly.

00:28:49It seems there's a misunderstanding.

00:28:52These people don't think

00:28:54that I belong here.

00:28:55Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you,

00:28:57this woman is a cleaner.

00:28:58A cleaner?

00:28:59Nonsense.

00:29:00I personally agreed to Miss Lewis

00:29:02upon her arrival in Maplewood

00:29:03three years ago.

00:29:05Exactly.

00:29:06Lewis Group,

00:29:08my company,

00:29:09has some major investments

00:29:12planned here in Maplewood.

00:29:14I was just here

00:29:14investigating potential

00:29:15business opportunities.

00:29:17No, this woman doesn't know

00:29:19the difference between business

00:29:20and a hole in the ground.

00:29:22She's been this way

00:29:22since my son divorced her.

00:29:24She's insane.

00:29:25Actually,

00:29:26I met Laura three years ago

00:29:27at the coffee shop.

00:29:29She helped secure

00:29:30a profitable investment

00:29:32for Shepard Group.

00:29:33No, it's a lie.

00:29:36Mr. Shepard,

00:29:36she's tricking you too.

00:29:37You know,

00:29:41it's exhausting

00:29:43trying to argue

00:29:43with people

00:29:44who forget

00:29:45who helped them.

00:29:47Mr. Carter,

00:29:48would you mind

00:29:49showing me

00:29:49to the VIP elevator?

00:29:50Wait,

00:29:51is that why

00:29:51you're covering for her?

00:29:53Huh?

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

00:29:57and how dare you

00:29:57speak to Miss Lewis that way?

00:29:59Enough of this.

00:30:00That's enough.

00:30:01Have you never

00:30:01embarrassed 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

00:30:08a VIP entrance access.

00:30:10She shouldn't be here.

00:30:12Since you're having

00:30:13trouble understanding them,

00:30:15let me make it clear.

00:30:17This hotel

00:30:17is owned by

00:30:19the Lewis family.

00:30:20It's mine

00:30:22to come

00:30:23or go

00:30:23as I please.

00:30:28Thank you

00:30:29for stepping in, Brian.

00:30:30I owe you one.

00:30:33We'll talk about this later.

00:30:34Well,

00:30:36it seems

00:30:36divorcing

00:30:37a powerful woman

00:30:38wasn't the best decision

00:30:39to stay in person.

00:30:43Come in.

00:30:47Excuse me,

00:30:51Vice Presidents.

00:30:53I'm Amber Smith,

00:30:54General Manager

00:30:55of the Lewis Group

00:30:55Maplewood Branch.

00:30:57I believe Ian Lewis

00:30:58told you about

00:30:58our meeting today?

00:31:00Maplewood Branch.

00:31:02Our records

00:31:03don't show

00:31:04any Maplewood Branch,

00:31:06Miss Smith.

00:31:07Are you sure

00:31:07you haven't gotten

00:31:08something mixed up?

00:31:11Ian Lewis,

00:31:11Mr. Lewis

00:31:13reassured me

00:31:15that today

00:31:16we would discuss,

00:31:17well,

00:31:18expansion plans.

00:31:20Expansion plans?

00:31:22Miss Smith?

00:31:23A decision like that

00:31:24wouldn't be taken

00:31:25without board approval.

00:31:26And frankly,

00:31:27we haven't heard

00:31:28anything about

00:31:29Maplewood Branch.

00:31:31But

00:31:31Ian Lewis

00:31:33assured me that...

00:31:34Miss Smith,

00:31:35we have a very important

00:31:36guest arriving soon.

00:31:38Perhaps you'd like

00:31:38to schedule a follow-up meeting

00:31:39with one of our staff.

00:31:41Maybe I can stay

00:31:42for this guest

00:31:42and offer some

00:31:43local...

00:31:44Miss Smith,

00:31:44we'd like you to leave.

00:31:46If you don't,

00:31:46we'll call security.

00:31:52Hey,

00:31:53stop there.

00:31:54This elevator

00:31:55is a VIP only.

00:31:57Back, please.

00:31:58Of course.

00:31:59My apologies.

00:32:05Oh,

00:32:06Laura?

00:32:06Vice-President,

00:32:10it's so good

00:32:11to see all of you again.

00:32:14Miss Lewis,

00:32:15it's been too long.

00:32:16Your return

00:32:17is a lifesaver,

00:32:18Miss Lewis.

00:32:19The Lewis Group

00:32:20has floundered

00:32:21under your uncle's,

00:32:22well,

00:32:23shall we say,

00:32:23unconventional leadership.

00:32:26The board are begging

00:32:27you to come back,

00:32:28Miss Lewis.

00:32:30Well,

00:32:31please sit.

00:32:32Yes, well,

00:32:33it is time for me

00:32:34to get my career

00:32:35back on track.

00:32:36We've got

00:32:37a meeting planned,

00:32:39a big one,

00:32:40in just a few days.

00:32:42Local powerhouses

00:32:43and smaller players, too.

00:32:46They'll all be there

00:32:47in one spot.

00:32:48Miss Lewis,

00:32:49we met with

00:32:50an Amber Smith.

00:32:52She claimed

00:32:53your uncle

00:32:54appointed her

00:32:55general manager

00:32:56of a Maplewood branch

00:32:57for the Lewis Group.

00:32:59She said that.

00:33:00Did she?

00:33:01Well,

00:33:01Miss Smith

00:33:02is a liar.

00:33:03There is

00:33:04no Maplewood branch,

00:33:05at least not yet.

00:33:06She lied so blatantly.

00:33:08It was,

00:33:08it's unbelievable.

00:33:10But,

00:33:10don't worry.

00:33:11I found a much

00:33:12more suitable partner.

00:33:16Shepherd Group.

00:33:17Shepherd Group?

00:33:18Their rise to a public company

00:33:20has been impressive.

00:33:22Do you have anything

00:33:23to do with that?

00:33:25So,

00:33:25what happens now

00:33:27with this

00:33:27Amber Smith?

00:33:29Oh,

00:33:30don't worry about Amber.

00:33:33I've got plans

00:33:34for her.

00:33:37Miss Lewis,

00:33:39consider this

00:33:40your official invitation

00:33:42to the legend

00:33:43from us.

00:33:47Cheers.

00:33:47I'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

00:34:03manager 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,

00:34:08we were waiting

00:34:08for Miss Smith.

00:34:11Lewis Group,

00:34:12Maplewood branch?

00:34:13No such thing, ma'am.

00:34:14And frankly,

00:34:15I'm not interested

00:34:15in your act.

00:34:16Of course.

00:34:18Laura!

00:34:19She's probably sleeping

00:34:21with the manager as well.

00:34:22That's how she gets

00:34:23away with everything.

00:34:24You underestimate her,

00:34:25Kathy.

00:34:26She's probably sleeping

00:34:27with all three

00:34:27vice presidents.

00:34:29No way a girl like her

00:34:30could get into

00:34:31a hotel like this.

00:34:32Careful with your words.

00:34:33Both of you.

00:34:35Acquisitions like that

00:34:36can get you

00:34:37in serious trouble.

00:34:40Look who can't

00:34:41even get into a meeting

00:34:42whilst I secure three

00:34:44with all the vice presidents.

00:34:45And let's not forget

00:34:46the mystery guest

00:34:47that they're bringing

00:34:48to Maplewood.

00:34:49Looks like she used you

00:34:50and tossed you aside.

00:34:52Used me?

00:34:53Unlike some people,

00:34:55I don't mind being helpful.

00:34:57You're so stupid.

00:34:58She threw you away

00:34:59like yesterday's trash.

00:35:01Don't worry, Brian.

00:35:02You deserve better.

00:35:04And let's not forget,

00:35:05I'm the new

00:35:06Maplewood branch manager

00:35:07of Lewis Group,

00:35:08appointed by the CEO

00:35:09of Lewis Group

00:35:10themselves,

00:35:11Ian Lewis.

00:35:12New branch manager,

00:35:14huh?

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

00:35:21the mystery guest.

00:35:23Don't play games, Laura.

00:35:24I was formally invited

00:35:26by Lewis Group themselves

00:35:27to the investment meeting.

00:35:29Only the top companies

00:35:30get those.

00:35:32Looks like you're

00:35:32all out of luck.

00:35:34Is that so?

00:35:36Well then,

00:35:36there seems to be

00:35:38a misunderstanding.

00:35:40You see,

00:35:41I'm not sure

00:35:42if you know

00:35:42Ms. Smith,

00:35:43but Lewis Group

00:35:45is my company

00:35:45and I decide

00:35:47who goes to the meetings.

00:35:51Escort them out.

00:35:52What?

00:35:52Their 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,

00:36:13I'm glad you're okay.

00:36:16And thank you

00:36:17for defending me.

00:36:19I really appreciate it.

00:36:24Um,

00:36:24are you coming to the meeting?

00:36:28Yes,

00:36:28but it's going to be tricky.

00:36:33Why?

00:36:34I'm sure

00:36:35that Shepard Group

00:36:36got an invitation.

00:36:40Yes.

00:36:41Laura,

00:36:42there's something

00:36:44you should know.

00:36:46Is,

00:36:46is this about

00:36:48Ben?

00:36:49Because I can

00:36:50assure you

00:36:51that he won't

00:36:51cause any problems.

00:36:53He won't even

00:36:53get past security.

00:36:54Laura,

00:36:55it's not Ben.

00:36:58It's someone else.

00:37:02Someone's causing

00:37:03problems for Shepard Group?

00:37:06Yes.

00:37:09Her name is

00:37:10Chloe Duke.

00:37:11She is daughter

00:37:13of the Duke family.

00:37:14She's my ex-fiancée.

00:37:19And, uh,

00:37:20let's say

00:37:20things didn't end

00:37:22so well between us.

00:37:24And,

00:37:25let's just say

00:37:28we didn't end

00:37:28things so well.

00:37:29and for some reason

00:37:32she's having

00:37:34a hard time

00:37:34moving on.

00:37:37And

00:37:37you think that

00:37:39she's going to

00:37:40cause

00:37:41problems at the meeting

00:37:42for

00:37:43out of

00:37:47jealousy?

00:37:48There's a possibility.

00:37:51She's kind of jealous.

00:37:54Well,

00:37:55all the more reason

00:37:56for you to be there.

00:37:59Besides,

00:38:00I'll be there too.

00:38:04Laura,

00:38:05would you consider

00:38:08being a guest

00:38:09at the meeting?

00:38:10What?

00:38:12Are you worried

00:38:12that this Chloe

00:38:13is going to cause

00:38:14problems for me too?

00:38:15Maybe a little.

00:38:17But mostly,

00:38:18I want to show

00:38:19them we are deemed.

00:38:21Well,

00:38:22it's a very

00:38:22kind offer,

00:38:23Mr. Shepard.

00:38:27Laura,

00:38:27I don't care

00:38:32about your best.

00:38:34I just want

00:38:34to be by your side.

00:38:36falling for you.

00:38:49your honesty

00:44:21you do

00:44:22somewhere else.

00:44:23You're not

00:44:23welcome here.

00:44:25the two

00:44:25of these

00:44:30I want

00:44:31the two

00:44:31of these

00:44:36Oh,

00:44:37Sir,

00:44:38ma'am,

00:44:38we're afraid

00:44:39I have to

00:44:39ask you to

00:44:39leave.

00:44:40Well,

00:44:40we're not

00:44:40leaving,

00:44:41okay?

00:44:41Hey,

00:44:42hey,

00:44:42hey!

00:44:43This isn't

00:44:44over,

00:44:44Laura!

00:44:45Could I

00:44:45try the dress

00:44:46on now?

00:44:46Of course,

00:44:47Miss Lewis.

00:44:48You just

00:44:49follow me.

00:44:55Wow.

00:44:57Miss Lewis,

00:44:59this dress

00:44:59really was

00:45:00made for you.

00:45:03Laura,

00:45:04you look

00:45:05breathtaking

00:45:06in this race.

00:45:07Brian,

00:45:08why would you

00:45:09do all

00:45:11of this

00:45:12for me?

00:45:14Laura,

00:45:14because you

00:45:17deserve

00:45:18everything

00:45:18beautiful

00:45:19in the world

00:45:19and that

00:45:21includes

00:45:22this dress.

00:45:26Will you

00:45:26give us a chance

00:45:27to see where

00:45:28things could go?

00:45:30I,

00:45:30I need a moment.

00:45:32perhaps we

00:45:34could talk

00:45:35some more

00:45:35about this

00:45:35after

00:45:36the investment

00:45:37meeting?

00:45:39Does that mean

00:45:39it could be a yes?

00:45:41Maybe.

00:45:48Hi.

00:45:56Hi.

00:45:57What?

00:46:00Well,

00:46:02well,

00:46:02well.

00:46:03Look who decided

00:46:04to join the party.

00:46:05Playing dress up

00:46:06again,

00:46:06Laura?

00:46:07One more

00:46:08disrespectful remark

00:46:09towards Laura,

00:46:09Miss Smith.

00:46:10And you understand

00:46:11the meaning of rude.

00:46:12you threatening

00:46:13my girlfriend

00:46:14in front of everyone

00:46:15for this,

00:46:16this gold digger.

00:46:18You know,

00:46:18Ben,

00:46:19I really cared

00:46:20about you

00:46:21even after all

00:46:22the horrible

00:46:22things you said

00:46:23to me after our divorce.

00:46:24I know the name

00:46:25of a great

00:46:26psychologist

00:46:27in New York.

00:46:28Maybe the shrinks

00:46:29in Maplewood

00:46:30aren't equipped

00:46:31to deal

00:46:32with your issues.

00:46:34Enough!

00:46:35I've had enough

00:46:36of this drama.

00:46:37Yeah,

00:46:37me too.

00:46:38Try that again

00:46:39and you'll

00:46:40regret it.

00:46:40I'll get the hell

00:46:42out of my face.

00:46:43Let's see if you two

00:46:44even make it

00:46:45past the door.

00:46:46Yeah.

00:46:48I'm sorry,

00:46:49Miss Smith,

00:46:50but your name's

00:46:50not on the guest list.

00:46:51What?

00:46:52That's impossible.

00:46:54I was invited

00:46:55by the CEO himself.

00:46:59Unfortunately,

00:47:00neither Harrison Group

00:47:01or Smith Group

00:47:02with names on the list.

00:47:03What?

00:47:04Looks like you two

00:47:05won't be getting let in

00:47:06after all.

00:47:07You don't have

00:47:08an invitation.

00:47:09You're just here

00:47:10because of Brian.

00:47:15Let me see this.

00:47:16This doesn't even

00:47:16look real.

00:47:17It's different

00:47:17from mine.

00:47:19Why don't you

00:47:19ask her

00:47:20if it's real?

00:47:23This appears

00:47:24to be a VIP invitation

00:47:25from the vice president.

00:47:28Please,

00:47:29right this way.

00:47:30We can continue

00:47:31this discussion later

00:47:32if you manage

00:47:33to get in.

00:47:33Sir,

00:47:38madam,

00:47:39we recommend

00:47:40you leave.

00:47:43There you are!

00:47:44How dare you

00:47:45steal my fiancée!

00:47:48There you are!

00:47:50How dare you

00:47:51steal my fiancée!

00:47:52Looks like another

00:47:53relationship

00:47:54bites the dust,

00:47:55Laura.

00:47:56Looks like

00:47:56stealing men

00:47:57is a habit 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, Gwaine.

00:48:04That ended

00:48:04a long time ago.

00:48:06Engaged to you.

00:48:07Everyone in

00:48:08Maplewood knows

00:48:09what you did

00:48:10to Brian.

00:48:11Your relationship's

00:48:12history.

00:48:14That was just

00:48:15a little tiff.

00:48:16You really think

00:48:16that could tear us

00:48:17apart?

00:48:19Don't you know

00:48:19who I am?

00:48:21Don't pretend

00:48:22like you don't know.

00:48:23Oh, honey.

00:48:24She don't recognize

00:48:25royalty,

00:48:26let alone a duke.

00:48:27She's just a maid,

00:48:28remember?

00:48:29I don't have time

00:48:30for all this drama.

00:48:33Brian?

00:48:34Let's head inside.

00:48:36Brian!

00:48:37How could you

00:48:38choose this

00:48:38cleaner

00:48:39over me?

00:48:40Are you really

00:48:42going to humiliate

00:48:43me in front

00:48:43of all of Maplewood?

00:48:45There's nothing

00:48:45left to say,

00:48:46Brian.

00:48:46Don't make this

00:48:47a scene.

00:48:48Shall we?

00:48:55You okay,

00:48:56Miss Duke?

00:48:57And you are?

00:48:59Amber Smith.

00:49:01I'm the Maplewood

00:49:01branch manager

00:49:02of Lewis Group.

00:49:04What branch?

00:49:04I've never heard of it.

00:49:05What do you want

00:49:06from me?

00:49:07That Laura!

00:49:08She tore up

00:49:09my invitation.

00:49:10Do you think

00:49:10you can get me

00:49:11inside?

00:49:12What?

00:49:12Your little manager

00:49:13title couldn't

00:49:13get you past

00:49:14the front door?

00:49:16Please don't

00:49:16waste my time.

00:49:17And I'll see you in the middle.

00:49:49You don't have Brian. Neither can you. The Duke family has more influence than you think.

00:49:56Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you. Uncle Jones, how are you?

00:50:03I need your help with something. What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.

00:50:09It's Brian. Who's that woman? I thought you were...

00:50:13She's a con woman. She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.

00:50:17What? Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?

00:50:23She's pretending to be Louis to get close to him.

00:50:26What are you planning?

00:50:29I want to destroy Shepherd Group.

00:50:32Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe. I had no idea she would be so... intense.

00:50:44What do you mean? You so should have taken her up on her offer. I mean, you guys are just... power couple.

00:50:56I see what you're doing. Power couple, you say? More like a disaster waiting to happen.

00:51:05Anyway, shall we take a seat? Actually, Brian, my seat is... up there.

00:51:14Really?

00:51:15She doesn't deserve to sit there.

00:51:17Excuse me.

00:51:18This is my VIP invitation. I can sit wherever I like.

00:51:24Hey, what do you think you're doing?

00:51:26This is signed by all three VPs of Louis Group.

00:51:29Where did you get this? Who did you have to sleep with?

00:51:34That's enough. This is getting us nowhere. Laura is my guest. And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her. Got it?

00:51:47Mr. Shepherd, what do you see in that woman? Miss Duke is a perfect match for you. She's from a good family, beautiful and successful. What more could you ask for?

00:52:00That's a good question. Not much, actually. Honesty. That's what I want. And love. Things that clearly, Chloe has no idea.

00:52:13I said I was sorry. What more do you want?

00:52:17I've watched Chloe grow up. She's like a daughter to me. I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.

00:52:28Anyway.

00:52:31One more chance, Brian. Let's forget all this nonsense.

00:52:35Do it, Mr. Shepherd. Propose. Right here. Right now.

00:52:39Brian?

00:52:42Is this how the Duke family handles business deals? By forcing a ring on someone?

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

00:52:56Don't you dare. You're humiliating yourself.

00:53:06Dare you? Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?

00:53:10Yes.

00:53:12I like her.

00:53:13But I can't imagine someone like her, interesting in me.

00:53:20The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.

00:53:26Why would you choose someone like her?

00:53:29Exactly. This woman is trouble. She doesn't belong here. Throw her out!

00:53:33You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me.

00:53:39Interesting turn of events.

00:53:42Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.

00:53:46Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress Laura Lewis?

00:53:52You know what? Maybe you're right, Chloe.

00:53:57How ridiculous. Is that what you've been telling everyone?

00:54:01I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow. Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe.

00:54:12You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.

00:54:15That's enough. You don't get to talk here.

00:54:18You got mad, Shepard. You dare to go against Miss Duke.

00:54:20And the same applies to everyone else here. Anyone who insults Laura.

00:54:26Leave us 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 none.

00:54:46Shepard Group.

00:54:50Lewis Group RS? You? Don't make me laugh.

00:54:56Security! Remove these two impostors from the premises.

00:55:00Wait, Uncle Jones. Give Brian another chance. Choose, Brian.

00:55:05Brian. Me and the future you deserve all this...fraught.

00:55:12Chloe. I have everything I ever wanted. Right here.

00:55:17And I wouldn't trade all the power that took so many people.

00:55:21Fine.

00:55:22Fine.

00:55:28Short the stock of the Shepard Group.

00:55:29What?

00:55:32You forced my hand, Brian.

00:55:35Now Shepard Group is ruined.

00:55:37The Duke family? They can't be serious.

00:55:39Shepard Group is doomed.

00:55:41Brian. You don't have to do this for me.

00:55:45Laura.

00:55:47I will never let anyone bully you.

00:55:49Let alone them.

00:55:51Thank you, Brian.

00:55:53For...

00:55:55For believing in me.

00:55:57For... protecting me.

00:55:59Now it's my turn.

00:56:01To protect you.

00:56:02To protect you.

00:56:08Listen carefully.

00:56:10I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.

00:56:14At all costs.

00:56:16Don't let it drop.

00:56:18Even one cent.

00:56:20Do you understand?

00:56:22Wow.

00:56:24Award winning performance, Laura.

00:56:27But 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...

00:56:39For the next five minutes...

00:56:43You owe me a public apology.

00:56:51Yeah.

00:56:52Thanks.

00:56:56Well.

00:56:58Looks like your five minutes is up.

00:57:01Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.

00:57:08What the?

00:57:09The Shepard Group stock prices?

00:57:11It's going up!

00:57:13This can't be happening.

00:57:14It must be a coincidence.

00:57:15Why 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.

00:57:30How did you do this?

00:57:32Like I said, Chloe...

00:57:35I'm...

00:57:37Laura Lewis.

00:57:39No, you're not.

00:57:40You're just some cleaner.

00:57:41You don't have access to billions.

00:57:43Well...

00:57:45I think it's time for my apology.

00:57:52No.

00:57:54I think it's time for my apology.

00:57:56There is no way I'm apologizing to you!

00:57:59If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?

00:58:03Chloe, the truth is...

00:58:06Everyone here...

00:58:08Has seen you be a bully.

00:58:10And a coward.

00:58:12And now...

00:58:14A sore loser.

00:58:16This is so humiliating for her.

00:58:19How did she manage that?

00:58:21Maybe she really is a Lewis.

00:58:24Apologize to Miss Lewis.

00:58:26Shut up!

00:58:27Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that!

00:58:29Don't forget...

00:58:31The Duke found me on half of Maplewood!

00:58:34Needle is at Miss.

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.

00:58:54Like I said, Chloe...

00:58:57That's my seat.

00:59:03Had 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. Shepherd, wasn't it?

00:59:15Are you planning another outburst, Laura?

00:59:18Is this how you charm all your men?

00:59:20Shall we?

00:59:22My pleasure.

00:59:24What are you doing?

00:59:26Let go!

00:59:27It doesn't matter what happens.

00:59:29I choose to stay by Laura's side.

00:59:32Let'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!

00:59:45And...

00:59:47How exactly, Mr. Jones?

00:59:50Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?

00:59:55Wait, that's Peter Young!

00:59:56Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group!

01:00:02Ask Peter Young!

01:00:04He decides which...

01:00:05Mr. Young, it's Chloe Duke, Head of Duke Industries.

01:00:08So glad you could join us!

01:00:09Why is everyone standing around?

01:00:10It's her!

01:00:12She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat!

01:00:15It's embarrassing!

01:00:17That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest!

01:00:20Specifically the family heir!

01:00:22Please get off the stage!

01:00:23Oh yes!

01:00:24Mr. Young?

01:00:25Was it?

01:00:26I think I remember you!

01:00:27You manage my family's investments!

01:00:33Don't pretend like you know what's going on!

01:00:37Please get off the stage!

01:00:38That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir!

01:00:40I need to make one thing crystal clear!

01:00:48I am the heir of the Lewis family!

01:00:55This is ridiculous!

01:00:58You?

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,

01:01:10and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.

01:01:14Before that, I could see her in my famous supermarket!

01:01:18See Brian?

01:01:19This is who you've been chasing after.

01:01:21A liar and a cheat?

01:01:22Security!

01:01:23Get this imposter out of here!

01:01:25And everyone here is a witness!

01:01:27Why would any of you trust Laura?

01:01:30If any of you dares to harm her?

01:01:34You have to go through me first!

01:01:36Brian, 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 imposter out of here!

01:01:48Now!

01:01:49I'm Peter!

01:01:52Peter!

01:01:53Do you have any idea what you're doing?

01:01:54Mr. Yates!

01:01:55I'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!

01:01:59It's no trouble, Mr. Yates!

01:02:01Luckily I haven't been alone!

01:02:02I've had the great company of my very loyal friend!

01:02:03Wait a minute!

01:02:04She's Ms. Lewis!

01:02:05Is this a joke?

01:02:06Mr. Young, you're new to the Lewis Group, so I can understand why you're not going to

01:02:07be a joke!

01:02:08Miss Lewis, but you listen to lies without checking the facts!

01:02:09You're new to the Lewis Group!

01:02:10You're new to the Lewis Group!

01:02:11So I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Ms. Lewis!

01:02:12But you listen to lies without checking the facts!

01:02:13And almost called the police!

01:02:14Tell me!

01:02:15No trouble, Mr. Yates!

01:02:16No trouble, Mr. Yates!

01:02:17Luckily I haven't been alone!

01:02:18I've had the great company of my very loyal friend!

01:02:23You're new to the Lewis Group!

01:02:24I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Ms. Lewis!

01:02:25But you listened to lies without checking the facts!

01:02:30And almost called the police!

01:02:35Tell me, Mr. Young, who put you up to this?

01:02:42Was it my uncle, Levy and Lewis?

01:02:47I knew it!

01:02:52I know I do.

01:02:56Consider this your termination.

01:02:58I get it now.

01:03:00This is all an act, right?

01:03:02Chloe, what are you doing?

01:03:04We still want to work with the Lewis family.

01:03:06Work with them? Are you blind?

01:03:08This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.

01:03:10That's enough, young lady.

01:03:12You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis group.

01:03:16Oh, Chloe.

01:03:18I can't believe we're going through this again.

01:03:20I think you need some professional help.

01:03:24Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.

01:03:26Chloe, that's enough.

01:03:28It's ridiculous.

01:03:30If you were really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.

01:03:32So why don't you show it to everyone?

01:03:34Show us the ring!

01:03:40Why don't you show that to everyone?

01:03:42Show us the ring!

01:03:44Show us the ring!

01:03:46Who are you to make demands of me?

01:03:48I don't answer to anyone but myself.

01:03:52I don't need any of your validation.

01:03:56Oh, this ring!

01:03:58Oh my God!

01:04:00Oh my God!

01:04:02Oh my God!

01:04:03Vice Presidents!

01:04:04I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.

01:04:06This woman is an imposter!

01:04:08Ms. Lewis, we apologise for the delay.

01:04:12How could you just let that con woman sit there?

01:04:14Get her out of here!

01:04:16This seat was always for Ms. Lewis.

01:04:18She's the special guest we've been waiting for.

01:04:22The investment queen.

01:04:24The real heir to Lewis Group.

01:04:27Laura Lewis!

01:04:29She was a divorced host wife!

01:04:31A janitor!

01:04:32How can she?

01:04:33She can't be!

01:04:34It's a lie!

01:04:35I'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.

01:04:42You 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.

01:04:52This is true, Ms. Duke.

01:04:57Did you try and sabotage this meeting?

01:04:59Yes.

01:05:01It's all true.

01:05:02She fooled us all.

01:05:03The Duke tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewood and control everything themselves.

01:05:09I had no idea.

01:05:11But I'm on your side.

01:05:13I can give you everything you need.

01:05:16All the resources in Maplewood.

01:05:18Ms. Lewis.

01:05:19How would you like us to deal with this?

01:05:21An eye for an eye.

01:05:26Since Ms. Duke here loves ruining things, I'll target her precious Duke Industries.

01:05:38I want them bankrupt in ten minutes.

01:05:41You're bluffing.

01:05:43You're nobody.

01:05:44You'll always be a nobody.

01:05:46And you can't touch me.

01:05:47Then consider this a test.

01:05:50Chloe.

01:05:51I didn't need my family support with Shepard and I certainly don't need it now.

01:05:56Chloe.

01:05:57You dug your own grave.

01:05:59You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family with just the Shepard group?

01:06:05Please.

01:06:06We'll see.

01:06:09Dad?

01:06:10Slow down.

01:06:11What are you talking about?

01:06:12No.

01:06:13It's impossible.

01:06:14Chloe.

01:06:15What have you done?

01:06:16Years of hard work.

01:06:17Destroyed in minutes.

01:06:18What did you do?

01:06:19What did you do?

01:06:21Well, Chloe?

01:06:23Isn't this what you wanted?

01:06:24To give me a little taste of destruction?

01:06:26This is impossible.

01:06:27It's impossible.

01:06:28Chloe.

01:06:29What have you done?

01:06:30The news is everywhere.

01:06:31Shepard's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market.

01:06:32They're hammering our shares.

01:06:33Are you sure it's just Shepard's?

01:06:34Yes!

01:06:35Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato.

01:06:36What are you doing?

01:06:37What did you do?

01:06:38What did you do?

01:06:39What did you do?

01:06:40Well, Chloe?

01:06:41Isn't this what you wanted?

01:06:42To give me a little taste of destruction?

01:06:43This is...

01:06:44This is impossible.

01:06:45It's impossible!

01:06:46Chloe!

01:06:47What have you done?

01:06:48The news is everywhere.

01:06:50Shepard's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market.

01:06:53They're hammering our shares!

01:06:55Ow!

01:06:56Are you sure it's just Shepard's?

01:06:58Yes!

01:06:59Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato.

01:07:03We could go bankrupt!

01:07:04You've ruined everything!

01:07:06Don't worry, Mr. Duke.

01:07:07When your company does go bankrupt, I'll buy it.

01:07:11At a fire sale price.

01:07:13Your employees won't even be affected.

01:07:15Brilliant!

01:07:16A masterstroke, Ms. Lois.

01:07:19Now, this is my event.

01:07:23Please leave.

01:07:24Ryan, I did this for us!

01:07:27Everything I did, I did for us, Brian!

01:07:31Chloe, you need help.

01:07:34These feelings you have for me, it's not love.

01:07:39It's obsession.

01:07:41Enough.

01:07:42If you don't want to ruin everything completely, you'll come with me.

01:07:45Right now.

01:07:47Chloe...

01:07:48Right now.

01:07:50What?

01:07:51Laura!

01:07:52This isn't over!

01:07:53Get out of me!

01:07:54What is going on here?

01:07:55Did they finally expose Laura's lies?

01:07:56Shepard Group.

01:07:57They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group from Maplewood.

01:07:59They're handling all future construction projects.

01:08:00That can't be.

01:08:01What about us?

01:08:02That was our project.

01:08:03Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.

01:08:04The Harrison Group is practically out.

01:08:05We have no chance.

01:08:06We can't give up that easily.

01:08:07Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as generalist.

01:08:08What is going on here?

01:08:09What is going on here?

01:08:10Did they finally expose Laura's lies?

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.

01:08:18That can't be.

01:08:19What about us?

01:08:20That was our project.

01:08:21Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.

01:08:22Harrison Group is practically out.

01:08:23We have no chance.

01:08:24We can't give up that easily.

01:08:25Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager.

01:08:26In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with the new heir.

01:08:27You're right.

01:08:28If we can just meet with the new heir, we can bypass the Shepards and meet directly

01:08:29with the Lewis Group.

01:08:30We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.

01:08:31That's right.

01:08:32Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.

01:08:33I'm sure I've mentioned him more.

01:08:34Mr. Shepard.

01:08:35Mr. Shepard.

01:08:36Why?

01:08:37Why?

01:08:38Why?

01:08:39Why?

01:08:40Why?

01:08:41Why?

01:08:42Why?

01:08:43Why?

01:08:44Why?

01:08:45Why?

01:08:46Why?

01:08:47Why?

01:08:48Why?

01:08:49Why?

01:08:50Why?

01:08:51Why?

01:08:52Why?

01:08:53Why?

01:08:54Why?

01:08:55Why?

01:08:56Why?

01:08:57Why?

01:08:58Why?

01:08:59Why?

01:09:00Why?

01:09:01Why?

01:09:02Why is it a pleasure to meet you?

01:09:03Why?

01:09:04We've looked into your company's financial review.

01:09:07Very impressive, thank you.

01:09:09Thank you bud.

01:09:11A large part of that success

01:09:13is thanks to Miss Lewis.

01:09:14You know?

01:09:16She practically saved me from the disaster.

01:09:18Three times over now.

01:09:20Brian, you can just call me more.

01:09:22Ms. Lewis's recommendation is very telling Mr. Shepard.

01:09:27Perhaps today clarifies everything.

01:09:29Mr. Shepherd, this opportunity is gone. Seize it. A woman like Laura is not easy to buy.

01:09:39Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.

01:09:49Did Laura send you to kill me?

01:09:51Laura? Hardly. I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.

01:09:59So you're Laura's uncle?

01:10:03In the flesh.

01:10:05So Laura really is your niece?

01:10:07Yes, little Laura. She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.

01:10:14Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood. I 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?

01:10:32Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Miss Duke. We 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. But 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?

01:10:59There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly.

01:11:09Laura, 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.

01:11:20And you, it's been too long. Two, three years, perhaps. How have you been?

01:11:26I've been well, Uncle Ian. Thank you for asking.

01:11:30I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.

01:11:34Yes.

01:11:35Kind of been easy.

01:11:36Indeed, somebody had to. I mean, after you left me with everything to do, without a safe pair of hands, I hate to think it would have happened to the company.

01:11:44Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard, you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.

01:11:53Yes. Minor mistakes. Minor.

01:11:56Don't worry, Uncle Ian. I won't hold it against you.

01:12:00Oh, good. Well, cheers to you coming back here.

01:12:05And the Lewis Group.

01:12:09Oh, I'm so sorry, Laura. How clumsy of me.

01:12:13Uh, no, no worries. Uncle Ian, I, I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.

01:12:20Of course. Right away. Just down to the left.

01:12:30Use it wisely.

01:12:32Oh, I will.

01:12:43Hey, Laura. How's that?

01:12:50Hello, Brian. Your little girlfriend is with me now.

01:12:53Chloe, how in the hell did you get Laura's phone?

01:12:57Let's just say that I have my ways.

01:12:59Listen, Chloe. Don't hurt her. Please. I'll do anything.

01:13:06Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs. Now. Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.

01:13:16Well, you certainly do have your ways.

01:13:25Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up. I am sorry. How clumsy. And don't forget your phone. I retrieved it for you.

01:13:32Oh, thank you. I'm going in.

01:13:33Lovely to see you again.

01:13:34Yeah. I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow, at the banquet.

01:13:38At 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! Laura! Where are you? Laura! Laura! Where are you? Laura! Laura, where are you? Laura! Laura, where are you? Laura, Laura, where are you?

01:13:59Oh!

01:14:04Got you.

01:14:07You weren't expecting that, were you?

01:14:19Finally!

01:14:20Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.

01:14:23What the?

01:14:24Laura, where are you, Laura?

01:14:25Laura?

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 tram and destroyed my life!

01:14:37That's not true.

01:14:38You 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.

01:14:48Shut 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, kidnapping is a very serious event.

01:15:06They're gonna lock you up for years!

01:15:08You think I care about jail time?

01:15:11All I care about is tearing the YouTube apart!

01:15:14You don't deserve him!

01:15:16What have you done?

01:15:17You've destroyed my life!

01:15:19My company, everything!

01:15:21Now I'm gonna destroy your life!

01:15:24Forgive me!

01:15:26Your family ring now!

01:15:28Give it to me!

01:15:29This is about the ring!

01:15:31Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?

01:15:35You know, Chloe, trying to kill me, that's foolish.

01:15:41Because who do you think is gonna win?

01:15:44You?

01:15:45That will not hurt.

01:15:46Or...

01:15:47Me?

01:15:48Something a little bit more persuasive.

01:15:51Freeze!

01:15:52Don't move anyone!

01:15:53Don't move!

01:15:54You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.

01:16:09Miss Lewis, having fun without me.

01:16:12I'm hurt.

01:16:14Are you hurt?

01:16:15No.

01:16:16I'm okay.

01:16:17Tell me Chloe.

01:16:21Tell me, Chloe, who put you up to this, Chloe?

01:16:27Why should I tell you?

01:16:29You're gonna kill me anyway.

01:16:31Chloe, I don't have a problem with you,

01:16:34but if you don't talk,

01:16:37your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.

01:16:41Well, I'm recording everything, Ms. Thomas.

01:16:44So the choice is yours, Chloe.

01:16:47Talk or face the consequences.

01:16:50Fine. It was Ian Lewis.

01:16:53He said he'd help Duke Industries

01:16:55if I kept you away from the bank room today.

01:16:59Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?

01:17:01I'm recording everything, Ms. Lewis.

01:17:05Oh, every word, Ms. Lewis.

01:17:08Are you ready to play a game, Brian?

01:17:20This is crazy.

01:17:22Are we really sure we can do this?

01:17:23All these big companies here, it's crazy.

01:17:25Absolutely.

01:17:26The Lewis Group is under new leadership.

01:17:29We can talk to the heiress herself.

01:17:31Exactly.

01:17:32We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.

01:17:35There's Ian Lewis now.

01:17:38You can introduce us.

01:17:39Let's go.

01:17:40Yeah.

01:17:42Hello, Ian Lewis.

01:17:43I'm Amber Smith.

01:17:44We spoke on the phone the other day.

01:17:46This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.

01:17:48How do you do?

01:17:49We're the company that...

01:17:50Yes, I know who you are.

01:17:52Ms. Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.

01:17:55Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.

01:18:02Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

01:18:04Could I ask you all to be seated, please?

01:18:08The moment you've all been waiting for.

01:18:11Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.

01:18:15A night where the rightful heir takes their place.

01:18:18Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group,

01:18:22Ms. Laura Lewis.

01:18:24Look, everybody, attention.

01:18:26Attention, please.

01:18:29There's been a recent development of some tragedy.

01:18:34I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago

01:18:38that Laura has been in a car accident.

01:18:41And tragically, she hasn't made it.

01:18:44She has not survived.

01:18:49What?

01:18:50Laura Lewis is dead?

01:18:52It doesn't matter now, she's gone.

01:18:54Mr. Lewis, is this new...

01:18:56A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.

01:18:58But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.

01:19:05Hold on!

01:19:06Who said that I'm dead?

01:19:10Laura!

01:19:11I don't understand.

01:19:16What's happening?

01:19:18Laura?

01:19:19But...

01:19:20Weren't you...

01:19:21My apologies for the delay, everyone.

01:19:24There seems to be some...

01:19:26misunderstanding.

01:19:27Laura, what are you doing here?

01:19:29You gotta stop this.

01:19:30If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.

01:19:32I'll save this once.

01:19:34Back off, then.

01:19:41Thank you for coming, everyone.

01:19:43As I'm sure you know,

01:19:45tonight, I officially reclaim my title

01:19:50as the CEO of Lewis Group.

01:19:53Well...

01:19:55Perhaps...

01:19:56You could make some room for me.

01:19:58Uncle Ian?

01:19:59Impossible.

01:20:00How are you still alive?

01:20:02Well, clearly I am alive, and well, so...

01:20:05Why don't we get this started?

01:20:06No.

01:20:07You'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?

01:20:19Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago

01:20:22and married a stranger

01:20:23and left me to work tirelessly,

01:20:26keeping the company together.

01:20:27Uncle Ian.

01:20:28Retire.

01:20:29Enjoy your retirement.

01:20:31Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.

01:20:34No.

01:20:35There can only be one heir,

01:20:37and that's me.

01:20:39And the rightful heir has possession of this.

01:20:44You think a ring makes an heir?

01:20:46You're even more foolish than I could have ever.

01:20:48imagined.

01:20:51Give that back to me.

01:20:52This.

01:20:53Yes.

01:20:54You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?

01:20:58Give it back.

01:20:59True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you.

01:21:06Not some stupid ring.

01:21:09Oh, my ring!

01:21:10Look at that!

01:21:11Where is it?

01:21:15My ring!

01:21:16Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.

01:21:19How dare you!

01:21:20Now, let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.

01:21:25Hmm?

01:21:26Hmm?

01:21:27Hmm?

01:21:28Hmm?

01:21:29Hmm?

01:21:30Hmm?

01:21:31Hmm?

01:21:32Fine.

01:21:33It was Ian Lewis.

01:21:34He...

01:21:35He said he'd help juking the streets if I kept you away from the bankers today.

01:21:38Oh, quite the spectacle, Miss Lewis.

01:21:43Security, escort him out.

01:21:46And Ian, don't fall over.

01:21:48It's all lies!

01:21:49It's all lies!

01:21:50Fakery!

01:21:51It's fake news!

01:21:52The proof is clear!

01:21:53Get him out of here!

01:21:54Now!

01:21:55I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.

01:22:02Turns out, reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.

01:22:08Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr. Shepherd by my side.

01:22:15And he has been a great support.

01:22:20Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.

01:22:26I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.

01:22:34Shepherd Group.

01:22:35What?

01:22:36Laura, hold on.

01:22:37This was never my idea.

01:22:39This was all Cathy and Amber's fault.

01:22:41I don't want a divorce.

01:22:42What?

01:22:43Then what are you saying?

01:22:44Me!

01:22:45You came to me first!

01:22:46Classic Ben.

01:22:47Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.

01:22:52Just don't shut Harrison Group out.

01:22:54Just 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.

01:23:06What are you talking about?

01:23:07What? No, come on!

01:23:08Sorry, no, please, no!

01:23:11Um, Mr. Shepherd?

01:23:13Yes, Ms. Lewis.

01:23:14I was wondering if...

01:23:16Maybe you wanted to grab dinner.

01:23:20Sometime.

01:23:23On me.

01:23:25Ms. Lewis.

01:23:29I would love to.

01:23:30Me.

01:23:31I would love to.

01:23:32What?

01:23:33Thees of that gem.

01:23:34I won't lie.

01:23:36Bye.

01:23:37See you next time.

01:23:40we walk my house.

01:23:42One, Tiffina.

01:23:43And I guilt.

01:23:44Mom, saying,

01:23:45my message to me.

01:23:47I believe, we Run.

01:23:48What?

01:23:49The truth?

01:23:50The truth.
