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.
00:02:11Look, today is Ben's birthday.
00:02:12Anything works for me, you know that my wife.
00:02:13You're not going to have a secret.
00:02:14Mr. Yates.
00:02:15You're not going to have a secret.
00:02:16Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of
00:02:23the Laws Group.
00:02:24Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:29Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've
00:02:34married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:35Look, today 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.
00:02:45Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:02:50Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you onto the house. For my sake.
00:03:05Divorce 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 Sheppard Group. And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:03:31The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time. I 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 Hanson 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, Ms. Cleaner?
00:04:15Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it?
00:04:20Ben?
00:04:23What's going on?
00:04:25Is this why you want a divorce? Because of her?
00:04:28Oh, please. I've spent years building Harrison Group. You're still a cleaner.
00:04:33We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:35Growing apart?
00:04:38No.
00:04:40No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:43I won't sign.
00:04:49Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:52Ben?
00:04:53Alright.
00:04:54Here, a hundred thousand dollars. Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:59A hundred thousand dollars?
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.
00:05:15This is our active charity tool.
00:05:16Here, 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.
00:05:37I'm so scared.
00:05:40Just leave.
00:05:41You already make this house stink.
00:05:50Think how she's gone.
00:05:52Go to written store.
00:05:56Sir?
00:05:58Laura Lewis's information.
00:06:03She's been Harrison's wife.
00:06:04No wonder why she wants to depart with him.
00:06:08Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:11Divorced her?
00:06:13Wait a minute.
00:06:15Don't you remember?
00:06:17She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:21Yeah.
00:06:23She saved our hiding now.
00:06:25Remember?
00:06:27Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:29Contract.
00:06:31Oh.
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.
00:06:42Apologize 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.
00:07:03Give it back!
00:07:05That's enough!
00:07:07Laura.
00:07:09I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:13It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:19You see?
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...
00:07:31For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:07:34I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:36Oh, please.
00:07:37A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:41You 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.
00:07:53Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:07:55Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:59Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:08:01Now.
00:08:02Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:08:03Who the heck is this man or have you been sneaking around?
00:08:06It's a lie, ma'am.
00:08:08This is none of your business.
00:08:09Oh, brown dead bodies.
00:08:11You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on.
00:08:14We are the Harrisons.
00:08:16You 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.
00:08:32Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:39Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:44I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:47After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:51No.
00:08:52Um, no, the event will proceed.
00:08:56Besides, I'll be there.
00:08:59There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:05Who are you, truly?
00:09:07You'll find out.
00:09:09Mr. Shepard.
00:09:11Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:16Mr. Yates.
00:09:18I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're gonna have a meeting.
00:09:25An investment meeting.
00:09:27One week from today.
00:09:29Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:33Because after that meeting, I'm gonna 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 gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:58After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:03Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:07Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:09Security?
00:10:10Get that woman out of here.
00:10:12We don't need cleaners at this event.
00:10:14Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:16This is a business event, after all.
00:10:18Business?
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've taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:31Oh, Ben.
00:10:32Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:36Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:38Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:40You don't belong here.
00:10:42Just get out!
00:10:48That's what you get.
00:10:50This contract is mine.
00:10:58To give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:02Don't be ridiculous.
00:11:03This is insane.
00:11:04Who do you think you are?
00:11:05Yeah, put that down.
00:11:06You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:08Security?
00:11:09She's lost a mind.
00:11:10This is a disaster!
00:11:12Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly
00:11:19don't deserve it.
00:11:46You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:48You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:49Oh, please, honey.
00:11:50You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:53Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:57I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:12:00And after careful consideration, I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working
00:12:07with the Shepherds.
00:12:08You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:12:13You have no authority here.
00:12:14Of course she has the authority.
00:12:15That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:12:16What is he doing here?
00:12:17Mr. Shepard?
00:12:18How does he know her?
00:12:19Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:20Laura, are you alright?
00:12:21Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.
00:12:23There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:24There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:25There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:26This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.
00:12:27Effective immediately.
00:12:28Wait a minute.
00:12:29This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:30No.
00:12:31No.
00:12:32No.
00:12:33No.
00:12:34No.
00:12:35No.
00:12:36No.
00:12:37No.
00:12:38No.
00:12:39No.
00:12:40No.
00:12:41No.
00:12:42No.
00:12:43No.
00:12:44No.
00:12:45No.
00:12:46No.
00:12:47No.
00:12:48No.
00:12:49No.
00:12:50No.
00:12:51No.
00:12:52No.
00:12:53No.
00:12:54No.
00:12:55No.
00:12:56No.
00:12:57No.
00:12:58No.
00:12:59No.
00:13:00No.
00:13:01No.
00:13:02No.
00:13:03No.
00:13:04No.
00:13:05No.
00:13:06No.
00:13:07No.
00:13:08No.
00:13:09No.
00:13:10No.
00:13:11No.
00:13:12No.
00:13:13No.
00:13:14No.
00:13:15No.
00:13:16No.
00:13:17No.
00:13:18No.
00:13:19No.
00:13:20Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:13:26Tricked? Why 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? The Financial Giants?
00:13:41There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:45That's crazy. There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:50That's absurd.
00:13:51It's... it's... it's absurd!
00:13:55A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:13:58Yeah, yeah, it's a lie. It's a lie. This 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. She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:10I was just a waitress. How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:15First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.
00:14:18Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:14:20When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:23Mm-hmm. Now look at me. I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:27And look at her. Still 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.
00:14:37She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:43Let's make something clear.
00:14:46I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:48I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:56Don't lie.
00:14:57You were never good enough for Ben when you married him. Oops.
00:15:01That roof was built with lies.
00:15:04Kathy, you never respected me.
00:15:06And Ben?
00:15:08Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:11And the cheating.
00:15:12I 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.
00:16:02I 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?
00:16:08But 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 Harris syndrome.
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...
00:17:00I 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.
00:17:08Miss Smith, perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis' involvement.
00:17:13I 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.
00:18:01Everyone, listen to me.
00:18:03Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison Group.
00:18:06A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:15The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:17Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:22Ms. Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:25Help!
00:18:26Someone get a doctor!
00:18:34Mom!
00:18:35It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:42Indeed.
00:18:42Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:45What?
00:18:47What now?
00:18:48Mom, this is not all on me.
00:18:49Not on you?
00:18:50I was trying to help.
00:19:04She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:19:07Flaunted their affair.
00:19:09Exactly.
00:19:10And those dresses?
00:19:11Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:19:14Ms. Smith, how could you do this?
00:19:17We trusted you completely.
00:19:19No, no.
00:19:20I got Ben the deal.
00:19:22I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.
00:19:25She's a liar.
00:19:27Oh, stop it, Amber.
00:19:28You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:19:31Lied?
00:19:32You're on my side.
00:19:34And anyways, I have a plan.
00:19:37The Shepards are no one special.
00:19:39We can expose Laura in all her lies.
00:19:42Go national.
00:19:43We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:47Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to you.
00:19:55Thank 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.
00:20:02You 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, actually, Laura, there 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.
00:20:47Proper?
00:20:48Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:20:52Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:20:57Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:21:01So 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, so I can't.
00:21:16Wait, Laura.
00:21:16Just here is fine.
00:21:17Laura, who is it?
00:21:28Laura, wait!
00:21:30Jason, find out who owns that car and do it fast.
00:21:34Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:21:45It's Amber Smith.
00:21:46Mr. Lewis?
00:21:48I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:53I don't know who you are, Miss Smith.
00:21:55How did you get this number?
00:21:57Don't worry about that right now.
00:21:59I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:22:02Someone I know very well.
00:22:05Impersonating 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.
00:22:17Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:22:21And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:22:24In 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.
00:22:54I wonder what she's up to now.
00:23:01That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubler.
00:23:06Oh.
00:23:07Lewis family?
00:23:09That's interesting.
00:23:11Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:23:15I'm not sure.
00:23:17Brian!
00:23:19There you are.
00:23:20I've missed you.
00:23:21Chloe.
00:23:23What are you up to?
00:23:24Chloe, what 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.
00:23:35I was...
00:23:35I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:38Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:39Teensy mistake, you said?
00:23:41You cheated on me.
00:23:42Is this your new fling?
00:23:48Ex-divorcey?
00:23:50Used to 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.
00:24:01Please.
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.
00:24:11You 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.
00:24:35This is it.
00:24:36The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.
00:24:39Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:43I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:47Well, 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, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:25:11Oh, the nerve.
00:25:13After everything you've done, you 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.
00:25:31The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:25:37And you, idiot, believing 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, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:25:50I know what this is.
00:25:51So stupid.
00:25:54Oh, such a trap.
00:25:57Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:25:59He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:26:02Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Loose Group.
00:26:06And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:26:10Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this?
00:26:16Oh, 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 Loose 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.
00:26:48This 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.
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 no idea what you just did.
00:27:30There be consequences.
00:27:32Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have, why don't
00:27:40you just ask him to get the two of them an 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.
00:27:51Man, please move 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, 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?
00:28:40We'll stick around and 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, for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:49It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:52These people don't think that I belong here.
00:28:55Well, 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.
00:29:05Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:13I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:29:17No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.
00:29:21She's been this way since my son divorced her.
00:29:24She's insane.
00:29:24Actually, 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.
00:29:37You 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?
00:29:53Huh?
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 and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:29:59Enough of this.
00:30:00That's enough.
00:30:01Have you never 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 to come or go as I please.
00:30:28Thank you for stepping in, Ryan.
00:30:30I owe you one.
00:30:33We'll talk about this later.
00:30:34Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Patterson.
00:30:47Come in.
00:30:47Excuse me, Vice Presidents.
00:30:53I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.
00:30:57I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today.
00:31:00Maplewood Branch.
00:31:02Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Miss Smith.
00:31:06Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:31:11Ian Lewis...
00:31:11Mr. Lewis reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:31:20Expansion plans?
00:31:22Miss Smith?
00:31:23A 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...
00:31:34Miss 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...
00:31:43Miss Smith, we'd like you to leave.
00:31:45If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:52Hey, stop there.
00:31:54These elevators are VIP only.
00:31:57Back, please.
00:31:58Of course.
00:31:59My apologies.
00:32:06Laura?
00:32:09Vice Presidents!
00:32:10It's so good to see all of you again.
00:32:14Miss Lewis.
00:32:15It's been too long.
00:32:16Your return is a lifesaver, Miss Lewis.
00:32:19The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's...
00:32:22Well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:32:26The board are begging you to come back, Miss 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.
00:32:41There's local powerhouses and smaller players, too.
00:32:46They'll all be there in one spot.
00:32:48Miss 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, Miss 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?
00:33:18Their 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.
00:33:35Miss Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the legend from us.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:58I'm not leaving.
00:33:59What are you talking about?
00:34:00No, come on.
00:34:00Wait!
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 Miss 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.
00:34:29No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:34:32Careful with your words.
00:34:33Both of you.
00:34:35Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:40Look who can't even get into a meeting.
00:34:42Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.
00:34:46And let's not forget the mystery guests 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, I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:57You'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.
00:35:08Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:35:12New branch manager, huh?
00:35:15Interesting.
00:35:16Laura Lewis?
00:35:17What 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.
00:35:31Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:35:34Is that so?
00:35:36Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:35:40You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss 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?
00:35:52Their visit is over.
00:35:54Oh, come on.
00:35:55This way, please.
00:35:57I'm not leaving.
00:35:57Move.
00:36:00We're not leaving again.
00:36:01Move.
00:36:01Oh, no, no, no.
00:36:02We're not going now.
00:36:03Okay, bye, bye, bye.
00:36:04This isn't over, Laura.
00:36:05You'll see.
00:36:09Thanks 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?
00:36:27Yes, 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.
00:37:14She's my ex-fiancé.
00:37:19And 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.
00:37:29And 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...
00:37:43Out of jealousy?
00:37:50There's a possibility.
00:37:51She's kind of jealous.
00:37:53Well, 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 we're team.
00:38:21Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.
00:38:26Laura.
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.
00:38:42I appreciate your honesty.
00:38:50And right now, I'm just not...
00:38:54I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:38:58Just with everything going on.
00:39:01And going on.
00:39:02It's okay.
00:39:02I just want to be up front.
00:39:06And if Chloe tries anything, you won't face her alone.
00:39:14There's just one thing I do need.
00:39:18What is it?
00:39:20A formal dress.
00:39:22Ah, 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.
00:39:50It is.
00:39:50I'll try this one off.
00:39:52Don'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.
00:40:02Yeah, 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 is for the A-list only.
00:40:15Not 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.
00:41:02Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.
00:41:06Oh, please.
00:41:12Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?
00:41:14We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:41:16Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.
00:41:19You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:41:22Could you please tell me more about this dress?
00:41:24Of 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.
00:43:22Thank you, Mr. Yates.
00:43:25That'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.
00:43:50Wow.
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 you 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.
00:44:31I 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?
00:45:13Laura, because you deserve everything beautiful in the world, and that includes this dress.
00:45:26Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:45:30I need a moment.
00:45:33Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:45:39Does that mean it could be a yes?
00:45:41Maybe.
00:45:42Hi.
00:45:56Hi.
00:45:59What?
00:46:01Well, 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 for this, Miss Gold Digger.
00:46:18You know, Ben, I really cared about you, even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:46:24I know the name of a great psychologist in New York, maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:46:34Enough!
00:46:35I've had enough of this drama.
00:46:36Yeah, me too.
00:46:37Try that again, and you'll regret it.
00:46:40I'll get the hell out of my face.
00:46:42Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:46:45Yeah.
00:46:46I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:46:51What?
00:46:52That's impossible.
00:46:53I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:46:55Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group, the name is on the list.
00:47:03It looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.
00:47:06You don't have an invitation.
00:47:08You're just here because of Brian.
00:47:14Let me see this.
00:47:15This doesn't even look real.
00:47:16It's different from mine.
00:47:17Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:22This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:47:25Please, right this way.
00:47:28We can continue this discussion later, if you manage to get in.
00:47:32Sir, Madam, we recommend you leave.
00:47:40There you are!
00:47:43How dare you steal my fiance!
00:47:46There you are!
00:47:48How dare you steal my fiance!
00:47:51Looks like another relationship fights the dust, Laura.
00:47:54Looks like stealing men is a habit of yours.
00:47:57Get away from him!
00:47:58He's engaged to me!
00:48:00Hey, hey, hey.
00:48:02Hold your horses, Gwen.
00:48:03That ended a long time ago.
00:48:05Engaged to you.
00:48:07Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:48:10Your relationship's history.
00:48:13That was just a little tiff.
00:48:15You really think that could tear us apart?
00:48:18Don't you know who I am?
00:48:20Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:48:22Oh, honey.
00:48:23She don't recognize royalty, let alone a duke.
00:48:26She's just a maid, remember?
00:48:28I don't have time for all this drama.
00:48:32Brian?
00:48:33Let's head inside.
00:48:36Brian!
00:48:37How could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:48:41Are you really gonna humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:48:44There's nothing left to say, Gwen.
00:48:46Don't make this a scene.
00:48:47Shall we?
00:48:49You okay, Miss Duke?
00:48:56And you are?
00:48:58Amber Smith.
00:48:59I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:49:02What branch?
00:49:03I've never heard of it.
00:49:04What do you want from me?
00:49:06That Laura!
00:49:07She tore up my invitation.
00:49:09Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:11What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:49:14Please don't waste my time.
00:49:16Please don't waste my time.
00:49:44If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:49:52The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:49:56Chloe!
00:49:57Good to see you.
00:49:58I've been expecting you.
00:49:59Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:50:01Good.
00:50:03I need your help with something.
00:50:05What is it?
00:50:06Anything for my little Chloe.
00:50:08It's Brian.
00:50:09Who's that woman?
00:50:11I thought you were...
00:50:12She's a con woman.
00:50:14She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:17What?
00:50:18Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:23Well, she's pretending to be Lewis to get close to him.
00:50:27What are you planning?
00:50:29I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:50:32Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:39I had no idea she would be so...
00:50:44intense.
00:50:46What do you mean?
00:50:48You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:50:50I mean, you guys are just...
00:50:53Power couple.
00:50:56I see what you're doing.
00:50:58Power couple, you say?
00:51:00More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:51:05Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:51:08Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:51:12It's up there.
00:51:14Really?
00:51:16She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:51:18Excuse me.
00:51:19This is my VIP invitation.
00:51:22I can sit wherever I like.
00:51:25Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:51:27This is signed by all three VPs of Lewis Group.
00:51:30Where did you get this?
00:51:32Who did you have to sleep with?
00:51:34That's enough.
00:51:37This is getting us nowhere.
00:51:39Laura is my guest.
00:51:41And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:51:46Got it?
00:51:48Mr. Shepard, what do you see in that woman?
00:51:50Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:51:54She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.
00:51:58What more could you ask for?
00:52:00That's a good question.
00:52:02Not much, actually.
00:52:04Honesty.
00:52:06That's what I want.
00:52:08And love.
00:52:10Things that clearly Chloe has no idea.
00:52:12I said I was sorry.
00:52:15What more do you want?
00:52:17I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:52:19She's like a daughter to me.
00:52:21I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:52:27Anyway.
00:52:29One more chance, Brian.
00:52:32Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:52:35Do it, Mr. Shepard.
00:52:37Propose.
00:52:38Right here.
00:52:39Right now.
00:52:41Brian?
00:52:44Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:52:48By forcing a ring on someone?
00:52:52Do it.
00:52:53Or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:53:01Don't you dare.
00:53:03You're humiliating yourself.
00:53:06Dare you?
00:53:07Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:53:10Yes.
00:53:12I like her.
00:53:14But I can't imagine someone like her.
00:53:17Interesting in me.
00:53:20The truth is,
00:53:22I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:53:26Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:28Exactly.
00:53:30This woman is trouble.
00:53:31She doesn't belong here.
00:53:33Throw her out!
00:53:35You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?
00:53:39Interesting turn of events.
00:53:40Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:53:45Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura,
00:53:50that you're the missing heiress, Laura Lewis?
00:53:55You know what? Maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:53:57How ridiculous.
00:53:59Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:54:00I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but...
00:54:06Wow!
00:54:08Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?
00:54:11You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that!
00:54:14That'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.
00:54:25Leaves with a black eye.
00:54:27She's willing to defend the chick for her.
00:54:29What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:31I want to be careful, Brian.
00:54:33Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:54:37Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:54:41The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not Shepard Group.
00:54:46Lewis 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.
00:55:04Choose, Brian.
00:55:06Me and the future you deserve, or this...fraud!
00:55:09Chloe, I have everything I ever wanted, right here.
00:55:17And I wouldn't trade for all the power that took so many people.
00:55:21Fine.
00:55:27Short the stock of the Shepard Group!
00:55:30What?
00:55:32You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:34Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:35The 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, I will never let anyone bully you, let alone them.
00:55:51Thank you, Brian, for...
00:55:54for believing in me, for protecting me.
00:55:59Now it's my turn to protect you.
00:56:02Listen carefully.
00:56:06I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock at all costs.
00:56:16Don't let it drop even one cent.
00:56:20Do you understand?
00:56:22Wow.
00:56:24Award-winning performance, Laura.
00:56:26But you can't possibly control the stock market.
00:56:28Do you want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:33If...
00:56:35the Shepard stock holds...
00:56:38for the next five minutes...
00:56:42you owe me a public apology.
00:56:45Deal.
00:56:47Well...
00:56:49looks like your five minutes is up.
00:56:52Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
00:56:55What the?
00:56:57The Shepard Group stock prices?
00:56:59It's going up!
00:57:00This can't be happening.
00:57:01It must be a coincidence.
00:57:02Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
00:57:04There was a huge investment.
00:57:05We couldn't compete.
00:57:06Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:08I don't know.
00:57:09It's a huge investment.
00:57:10We couldn't compete.
00:57:11Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:13It's a huge investment.
00:57:14We couldn't compete.
00:57:15The Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:16Well...
00:57:22Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
00:57:24There was a huge investment.
00:57:25We couldn't compete.
00:57:26Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:28How 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...
00:57:44I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:53No.
00:57:54I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:57There 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 has seen you be a bully.
00:58:11And a coward.
00:58:12And now, a sore loser.
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, the Duke found me on half of Maplewood.
00:58:34Need a loser, Miss.
00:58:36Let's get out of here.
00:58:38Hold on.
00:58:39This is where I belong.
00:58:43And that is 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, that's my seat.
00:58:58I 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. Shepherd, wasn't it?
00:59:16Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
00:59:18Is this how you charm all your men?
00:59:21Shall we?
00:59:21My pleasure.
00:59:24What are you doing?
00:59:26Let go.
00:59:28It doesn't matter what happened.
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.
00:59:38Someone so esteemed, even the vice presidents have to bow low.
00:59:46And how, exactly, Mr. Jones?
00:59:51Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
00:59:55Wait, that's Peter Young, director of business affairs at Lewis Group.
00:59:59Ask Peter Young.
01:00:04He decides which interests me.
01:00:05It's Chloe Duke, head of Duke Industries.
01:00:09So 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.
01:00:23Please get off the stage.
01:00:25Oh, yes.
01:00:27Mr. Young, was 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.
01:00:41I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:00:49I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:00:57This is ridiculous.
01:00:58You, the 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
01:01:13for the Harrison Group.
01:01:14Before that, I could see her in my famous supermarket.
01:01:17See, Brian, this is who you've been chasing after.
01:01:21A liar and a cheat.
01:01:23Security, get this imposter out of here.
01:01:26Everyone here is a witness.
01:01:27Why would any of you trust Laura?
01:01:30If any of you dares to harm her, you have to go through me first.
01:01:37Brian, she's just some nobody.
01:01:40She'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.
01:01:49Oh, Peter.
01:01:58Peter, do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:02:02Mr. Yates.
01:02:03I'm so glad you could join us.
01:02:07Miss Lewis, sorry about the delay.
01:02:10And for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:02:12It's no trouble, Mr. Yates.
01:02:16Luckily, I haven't been alone.
01:02:17I've had the great company of my very loyal friend.
01:02:23Wait a minute.
01:02:25She's Miss Lewis.
01:02:26Is this a joke?
01:02:27Mr. Young, you're new to the Lewis Group,
01:02:30so I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.
01:02:35But you listened to lies without checking the facts
01:02:37and almost called the police.
01:02:42Tell me, Mr. Young, who put you up to this?
01:02:46Was it my uncle, 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, right?
01:03:03Chloe, what are you doing?
01:03:04We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:03:06Work with them?
01:03:07Are you blind?
01:03:08This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:03:10That's enough, young lady.
01:03:13You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.
01:03:17Oh, Chloe.
01:03:19I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:03:21I think you need some professional help.
01:03:25Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:03:28Chloe, that's enough.
01:03:30It's ridiculous.
01:03:30If you were really the Lewis family heir,
01:03:32you would have the ring.
01:03:33So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:03:35Show us the ring!
01:03:36Who 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.
01:03:58There's a ring.
01:03:59Vice Presidents, I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.
01:04:07This woman is an imposter.
01:04:09Miss Lewis, we apologize for the delay.
01:04:13How 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.
01:04:20She's the special guest we've been waiting for.
01:04:23The investment queen.
01:04:24The real heir to Lewis Group.
01:04:28Laura Lewis.
01:04:30She 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.
01:04:41Oh, 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.
01:04:54This is true, Miss Duke.
01:04:57Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:05:01Yes, it's all true.
01:05:03She fooled us all.
01:05:04The Duke tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewood
01:05:08and control everything themselves.
01:05:10I had no idea.
01:05:12But I'm on your side.
01:05:14I can give you everything you need.
01:05:17All the resources in Maplewood.
01:05:18Miss Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this?
01:05:23And I.
01:05:23For an eye.
01:05:27Since Miss Duke here loves ruining things,
01:05:33I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:05:38I want them bankrupt in ten minutes.
01:05:42You're bluffing.
01:05:43You're nobody.
01:05:45You'll always be a nobody.
01:05:46And you can't touch me.
01:05:47Then consider this a test, Chloe.
01:05:52I didn't need my family's support with Shepard,
01:05:55and 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
01:06:03with just the Shepard group?
01:06:05Please.
01:06:07Hmm.
01:06:08We'll see.
01:06:14Dad?
01:06:16Slow down.
01:06:17What are you talking about?
01:06:20No.
01:06:22It's impossible.
01:06:23Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:26Years of hard work.
01:06:27Just draw it in minutes.
01:06:28What did you do?
01:06:35Well, Chloe,
01:06:37isn't this what you wanted?
01:06:39To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:06:42This is impossible.
01:06:44It's impossible.
01:06:46Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:49The news is everywhere.
01:06:51Shepard's launched a full-scale assault
01:06:52on the stock market.
01:06:54They're hammering our shares.
01:06:56Ow!
01:06:57Are you sure it's just Shepard's?
01:06:58Yes!
01:06:59Shareholders are dumping our stock
01:07:01like it's a hot potato.
01:07:03We could go bankrupt.
01:07:05You've ruined everything.
01:07:06Don't worry, Mr. Duke.
01:07:08When your company does go bankrupt,
01:07:11I'll buy it.
01:07:12At a fire sale price.
01:07:13Your employees won't even be affected.
01:07:15Brilliant.
01:07:16A master's show, Ms. Lois.
01:07:19Now, this is my event.
01:07:24Please leave.
01:07:25Brian, I did this for us.
01:07:27Everything I did, I did for us, Brian.
01:07:32Chloe, you need help.
01:07:35These feelings you have for me,
01:07:37it's not love.
01:07:39It's obsession.
01:07:42Enough.
01:07:43If you don't want to ruin everything completely,
01:07:45you'll come with me right now.
01:07:48Laura.
01:07:49Right now.
01:07:51Laura!
01:07:55This isn't over!
01:08:01Get out of me!
01:08:02What is going on here?
01:08:08Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:08:11Shepard Group.
01:08:13They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group from Maplewood.
01:08:17They're handling all future construction projects.
01:08:19That can't be.
01:08:20What about us?
01:08:21That was our project.
01:08:23Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.
01:08:25Harrison Group is practically out.
01:08:27We have no chance.
01:08:28We can't give up that easily.
01:08:30Remember,
01:08:31Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager.
01:08:34In a few days,
01:08:35he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.
01:08:38You're right.
01:08:39If we can just meet with a new heir,
01:08:40we can bypass the Shepards
01:08:42and meet directly with the Lewis Group.
01:08:44We just have to play their little game
01:08:46and see who comes out on top.
01:08:49That's right.
01:08:49Vice Presidents,
01:08:55allow me to introduce my associate,
01:08:58Brian Shepard.
01:08:59I'm sure I've mentioned him.
01:09:01Mr. Shepard,
01:09:02finally a pleasure to meet you.
01:09:04We've looked into your company's financial review.
01:09:08Very impressive.
01:09:10Thank you, bud.
01:09:12A large part of that success
01:09:13is thanks to Ms. Lewis.
01:09:15No.
01:09:16She practically saved me from disaster.
01:09:18Three times over now.
01:09:20Brian,
01:09:20you can just call me more.
01:09:23Ms. Lewis' recommendation
01:09:24is very telling, Mr. Shepard.
01:09:28Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:09:30Mr. Shepard,
01:09:31this opportunity is gone.
01:09:34Seize it.
01:09:36A woman like Laura
01:09:37is not easy to find.
01:09:39Thank you for your kind words,
01:09:40Mr. Vice President.
01:09:48Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:09:52Laura?
01:09:53Hardly.
01:09:54I'm Ian Lewis,
01:09:56CEO and rightful heir
01:09:57of 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.
01:10:08Little Laura.
01:10:09She just threw away her birthright
01:10:12about two, three years ago.
01:10:14Ran off and married a nobody
01:10:16from Maplewood.
01:10:17I think he was a Harrison.
01:10:19Now Laura's got the VPs
01:10:20and Mr. Yates on her side.
01:10:22Did you hear she's throwing a banquet
01:10:23in a few days
01:10:24to announce her official takeover?
01:10:26And we can't let that happen,
01:10:28can we, my dear?
01:10:30If you're Ian Lewis,
01:10:31wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:10:33Well, my dear,
01:10:34that's where you come in,
01:10:36Miss Duke.
01:10:36We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:10:38What if I, what if I fail?
01:10:42My family is already ruined.
01:10:44Yes, you are in a spot of bother,
01:10:46I must say.
01:10:48But, if successful,
01:10:50I guarantee that you
01:10:51and the Duke family
01:10:52will get back everything you've lost.
01:10:55Laura's got the VPs
01:10:56and Brian on her side.
01:10:58How can I possibly get the ring?
01:11:00There is a way, you know,
01:11:01that we can make Laura
01:11:03relinquish
01:11:04and give up that ring
01:11:06willingly.
01:11:08Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:11:11Uncle Ian,
01:11:12it'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
01:11:22too long,
01:11:23two,
01:11:24three years perhaps.
01:11:26How have you been?
01:11:27I've been well,
01:11:28Uncle Ian.
01:11:28Thank you for asking.
01:11:31I see you've been busy
01:11:33keeping Lewis Group afloat.
01:11:35Yes.
01:11:35It's been easy.
01:11:36Indeed.
01:11:37Somebody had to.
01:11:38I mean,
01:11:39after you left me
01:11:40with everything to do,
01:11:41without a safe pair of hands,
01:11:43I hate to think
01:11:43it would have happened
01:11:44to the company.
01:11:46Actually,
01:11:46Uncle Ian,
01:11:47from what I've heard,
01:11:49you've lost billions
01:11:51with some
01:11:51questionable
01:11:52investment decisions.
01:11:54Yes.
01:11:55Minor mistakes.
01:11:57Minor.
01:11:57Don't worry,
01:11:58Uncle Ian.
01:11:59I won't hold it against you.
01:12:01Oh,
01:12:01good.
01:12:03Well,
01:12:03cheers to you
01:12:04coming back here
01:12:05and
01:12:06the Lewis Group.
01:12:09Oh!
01:12:10I'm so sorry,
01:12:12Laura.
01:12:13How clumsy of me.
01:12:14Uh,
01:12:15no,
01:12:15no worries,
01:12:16Uncle Ian.
01:12:16I,
01:12:18I'll just go
01:12:18to the restroom
01:12:19and get cleaned up.
01:12:21Of course.
01:12:22Right away,
01:12:23just down to the left.
01:12:30Use it wisely.
01:12:32Oh,
01:12:32I will.
01:12:35Hey,
01:12:48Laura.
01:12:49How's that?
01:12:50Hello,
01:12:51Brian.
01:12:51Your little girlfriend
01:12:52is with me now.
01:12:54Chloe,
01:12:55how in the hell
01:12:56did you get
01:12:57Laura's phone?
01:12:58Let's just say
01:12:58that I have my ways.
01:13:01Listen,
01:13:01Chloe,
01:13:03don't hurt her.
01:13:04Please.
01:13:06I'll do anything.
01:13:09Come to the abandoned warehouse
01:13:10in the eastern suburbs.
01:13:12Now.
01:13:14Don't tell anyone
01:13:15if you want her alive.
01:13:19Well,
01:13:20you certainly do
01:13:21have your ways.
01:13:25Oh,
01:13:26thank goodness
01:13:26you've cleared up.
01:13:27I am sorry.
01:13:28How clumsy.
01:13:29And don't forget
01:13:30your phone.
01:13:30I retrieved it for you.
01:13:32I'm going again.
01:13:34Lovely to see you again.
01:13:35Yeah.
01:13:35I guess I'll see you
01:13:36the day after tomorrow
01:13:38at the banquet.
01:13:39At the banquet.
01:13:42I'll see you then.
01:13:43Will do.
01:13:43Looking forward to it.
01:13:47Laura!
01:13:48Laura!
01:13:49Where are you?
01:13:51Laura!
01:13:51Laura!
01:13:52Laura!
01:13:53Where are you?
01:13:55Laura!
01:13:56Laura, where are you?
01:13:58Laura!
01:13:59Oh!
01:13:59Oh!
01:14:03I got you.
01:14:06You weren't expecting that,
01:14:08were you?
01:14:08finally.
01:14:20Looks like your little boyfriend
01:14:21got turned around.
01:14:23What the?
01:14:24Laura, where are you?
01:14:25Laura?
01:14:25Laura?
01:14:26Go shut your mouth.
01:14:27Chloe, what have you done?
01:14:31Are you out of your mind?
01:14:32Out of my mind!
01:14:34You were the one
01:14:34that left me for that tramp
01:14:36and destroyed my life!
01:14:37That's not true.
01:14:39You were the one
01:14:39who messed up!
01:14:40Brian!
01:14:41Laura!
01:14:44Stay where you are.
01:14:46You better come alone.
01:14:48Shut this knife, Chloe.
01:14:50Chloe, this is insane!
01:14:52Insane!
01:14:53I did this for us, Brian!
01:14:55We were meant to be together.
01:14:58Us?
01:14:59You've gone crazy!
01:15:01And you're out of here!
01:15:02Chloe,
01:15:03kidnapping is a very serious event.
01:15:06They're going to lock you up
01:15:07for years!
01:15:09You think I care
01:15:10about jail time?
01:15:11All I care about
01:15:12is tearing the YouTube apart.
01:15:14You don't deserve him.
01:15:17What have you done?
01:15:18You've destroyed my life!
01:15:21My company, everything!
01:15:23Now I'm going to destroy your life.
01:15:26Give me your family ring now.
01:15:29Give it to me!
01:15:30This is about the ring.
01:15:32Did my Uncle Ian
01:15:34put you up to this?
01:15:36You know, Chloe,
01:15:37trying to kill me,
01:15:40that's foolish.
01:15:42Because who do you think
01:15:43is 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.
01:16:06Don't move.
01:16:07You're about to be arrested
01:16:09for kidnapping.
01:16:10Miss Lewis.
01:16:12Having fun without me.
01:16:14I'm hurt.
01:16:15Hi.
01:16:17Are you hurt?
01:16:18No, 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.
01:16:34But if you don't talk,
01:16:37your beloved Duke Industries
01:16:40might run into some.
01:16:42Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:45So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:16:47Talk,
01:16:48or face the consequences.
01:16:50Fine.
01:16:51It was Ian Lewis.
01:16:53He...
01:16:53He said he'd help Duke Industries
01:16:55if I kept you away from the bank room today.
01:16:57Okay.
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?
01:17:14This is crazy.
01:17:23Are we really sure we can do this?
01:17:24All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:17:27Absolutely.
01:17:28The 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
01:17:34we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:17:37There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:39You can introduce ourselves.
01:17:40Let's go.
01:17:40Yeah.
01:17:43Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:17:44I'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
01:17:54who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:17:56Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:18:03Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:18:04Could 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
01:18:13in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:16A night where the rightful heir
01:18:17takes their place.
01:18:18Would you please join me
01:18:20in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group,
01:18:23Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:25Look, everybody, attention.
01:18:27Attention, please.
01:18:29There's been a recent development
01:18:32of some tragedy.
01:18:35I just got noticed from a phone call
01:18:37a couple of minutes ago
01:18:38that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:18:42And tragically, she hasn't made it.
01:18:45She has not survived.
01:18:46What?
01:18:50Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:53It doesn't matter now.
01:18:54She's gone.
01:18:55Mr. Lewis, is this new...
01:18:56A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:18:59But rest assured,
01:19:00the 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.
01:19:11Laura.
01:19:11I don't understand.
01:19:17What's happening?
01:19:19Laura?
01:19:20But weren't you...
01:19:21My apologies
01:19:23for the delay, everyone.
01:19:25There seems to be some
01:19:26misunderstanding.
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,
01:19:32we're all doomed.
01:19:33I'll save the spots.
01:19:35Back off, then.
01:19:36Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:19:43As I'm sure you know,
01:19:46tonight,
01:19:47I officially
01:19:48reclaim my title
01:19:50as the CEO
01:19:52of Lewis Group.
01:19:53Perhaps you
01:19:57could 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
01:20:09the rightful heir.
01:20:11You gave that away
01:20:12when you married Ben Harrison.
01:20:15Uncle Ian,
01:20:16is that seriously
01:20:16your argument
01:20:17that you have
01:20:18that I got married
01:20:18too quickly?
01:20:20Well, you went off
01:20:21to Maplewood
01:20:22three years ago
01:20:22and married a stranger
01:20:23and left me
01:20:25to work tirelessly
01:20:26keeping the company together.
01:20:28Uncle Ian,
01:20:29retire.
01:20:30Enjoy
01:20:31your retirement.
01:20:33Lewis Group
01:20:33will be perfectly fine
01:20:34without you.
01:20:35No.
01:20:36There can only be
01:20:37one heir
01:20:38and that's me.
01:20:40And the rightful heir
01:20:41has possession
01:20:42of this.
01:20:44You think a ring
01:20:45makes an heir?
01:20:47You're even more foolish
01:20:48than I could have
01:20:49ever imagined.
01:20:51Give that back to me.
01:20:53This.
01:20:54Yes.
01:20:55You think some
01:20:56shiny gold thing
01:20:57makes you the heir?
01:20:59Give it back.
01:21:00True leadership
01:21:02is about earning
01:21:04the respect
01:21:05of those around you.
01:21:07Not some stupid ring.
01:21:10Oh, my ring.
01:21:11Look at that.
01:21:11Where is it?
01:21:15My ring?
01:21:16No.
01:21:17Now, everyone,
01:21:18if I could have
01:21:19your attention.
01:21:20How dare you?
01:21:21Let me show you
01:21:22how a true
01:21:23heir
01:21:24earns a ring like that.
01:21:26I'll be here.
01:21:27I'll be here.
01:21:27I'll be here.
01:21:28I'll be here.
01:21:29I'll be here.
01:21:29I'll be here.
01:21:30I'll be here.
01:21:30I'll be here.
01:21:31I'll be here.
01:21:31Fine.
01:21:32It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:33He said he helped
01:21:35you can destroy
01:21:36if I kept you away
01:21:37from the bankers today.
01:21:40Oh, quite the spectacle,
01:21:42Miss Lewis.
01:21:43Security, escort him out.
01:21:46And Ian,
01:21:48don't fall over.
01:21:49It's all lies.
01:21:50It's all lies.
01:21:51It's fakery.
01:21:51It's fake news.
01:21:52The proof is clear.
01:21:53Get him out of here.
01:21:54Now.
01:21:58I owe all of you
01:22:00an apology
01:22:01for everything
01:22:02that's happened tonight.
01:22:03It turns out
01:22:04reclaiming my birthright
01:22:05didn't go as smoothly
01:22:07as I had hoped.
01:22:09Luckily,
01:22:10these past few days,
01:22:12I've had
01:22:12Mr. Shepard
01:22:14by my side.
01:22:16And he has been
01:22:17a great support.
01:22:21Lewis Group
01:22:21has a lot
01:22:23of exciting plans
01:22:24for Maplewood.
01:22:26I'm proud
01:22:27to announce
01:22:28that we have
01:22:29secured
01:22:30a reliable
01:22:31partner.
01:22:34Shepard Group.
01:22:36What?
01:22:36Laura, hold on.
01:22:38This was never
01:22:39my idea.
01:22:40This was all
01:22:40Cathy and Amber's fault.
01:22:41I don't want a divorce.
01:22:43What?
01:22:43Then what are you saying?
01:22:45You came to me first.
01:22:46Classic Ben.
01:22:48Something goes wrong
01:22:49and you start
01:22:49pointing the fingers
01:22:50at all the women
01:22:51in your life.
01:22:52Just don't shut
01:22:54Harrison Group out.
01:22:55Just give me
01:22:55another chance.
01:22:57How could I shut you out?
01:22:58I'm just a cleaner,
01:23:00remember?
01:23:01I'm just a useless
01:23:02housewife.
01:23:03I don't have that power.
01:23:06What are you talking about?
01:23:07What?
01:23:08No, come on.
01:23:08Sorry.
01:23:08No, please.
01:23:09No.
01:23:11Um,
01:23:12Mr. Shepard?
01:23:13Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:23:14I was wondering if
01:23:17maybe you wanted
01:23:19to grab dinner
01:23:20sometime
01:23:22on me.
01:23:25Miss Lewis,
01:23:26I would love to.
01:23:30I would love to.
01:23:39I would love to.
01:23:40I would love to.
