00:00:00Brian.
00:00:07Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:13What the hell is going on here?
00:00:16Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:19Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do?
00:00:23Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:27They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:31Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:38Well, looks like Shepard Guild might be bankrupt by lunchtime.
00:00:47Hey, this is a private suggestion.
00:00:49Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:00:53Mr. Shepard, building a public company?
00:00:56In just five years? That's impressive.
00:01:00But losing your cool over a little market turbulence?
00:01:06That seems out of character for you.
00:01:08Do I know you?
00:01:12What are you doing?
00:01:14What are you doing?
00:01:16You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.
00:01:18You can't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:20This is incredible!
00:01:22What's going on?
00:01:24The shortening attempt!
00:01:25It's failing!
00:01:26The price is holding!
00:01:29Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:35We met before.
00:01:37They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:40Hold on.
00:01:41Tell me.
00:01:42How could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:44If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:54Jason, get me a five now.
00:02:03Mr. Yates!
00:02:08What?
00:02:09Only two bodyguards this time?
00:02:10You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:11No, ma'am.
00:02:12I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:02:13Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Laws Group.
00:02:14Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:15Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret, but why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:16Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:17Ma'am, it really is time for you to wait to see you to come back to the law.
00:02:18You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:19No, ma'am.
00:02:20I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:02:22Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Laws Group.
00:02:27Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:31Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret, but why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:37Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:42Ma'am, it really is time for you to wait to do it.
00:02:45It really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:47Because what I want is a simple life, with Ben.
00:02:52Ma'am, at least do me a favour and let Toby walk you up to the house, for my sake.
00:03:08Divorce papers, sign it.
00:03:15Why?
00:03:16You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:19The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now.
00:03:22Especially since it's landed a $100 million contract with the Shepherd Group.
00:03:27And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:03:30The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time. I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:37I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:40You, a cleaning woman, handing out million dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.
00:03:49I did! It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:53I was the one who got Ryan 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. Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:06Local royalty. A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:11And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:04:14Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor. Doesn't it, Ben?
00:04:20What's going on? Is this why you want a divorce? Because of her?
00:04:27Oh, please. I've spent years building Harrison Group. You're still a cleaner.
00:04:32We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:34Grown apart? No.
00:04:39No, I won't sign any agreement then.
00:04:44I won't sign anything.
00:04:47Ha! Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:51Ben?
00:04:52Alright. Here. $100,000. Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:58$100,000?
00:05:00I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:06Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:09Don't be ridiculous. You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:13This is our act of charity to overcome.
00:05:16Here. A million dollars. Take this.
00:05:19You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:21Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:24I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.
00:05:30Since none of you respect me.
00:05:34A cleaning lady threatening us.
00:05:37I'm so scared.
00:05:39Just leave. You already make this house stink.
00:05:49Thank God she's gone.
00:05:50Go to the written store.
00:05:52Sir?
00:05:55Sir?
00:05:56Laura Lewis's information.
00:06:01Huh?
00:06:02She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:06:03No wonder why she wanted us to partner with them.
00:06:06Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:09Divorce her?
00:06:12Wait a minute.
00:06:13Don't you remember?
00:06:15She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:19Yeah.
00:06:20She saved our hiding then.
00:06:22Remember?
00:06:23Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:28I don't know.
00:06:30Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:06:35Hey!
00:06:36What are you doing?
00:06:37Let go of me!
00:06:38You attacked Amber!
00:06:39Apologize this instant!
00:06:41Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:46We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:06:48You refused it.
00:06:49And now you're stealing!
00:06:50She couldn't afford it.
00:06:52You're a thief!
00:07:00That's mine! Give it back!
00:07:02Wait!
00:07:03Wait!
00:07:05Laura?
00:07:06I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:09It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:16You see, it's...
00:07:17Who are you, Boris New Squeeze?
00:07:20Excuse me.
00:07:21Do you know who I am?
00:07:22Is this true?
00:07:23You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:07:26Shame on you!
00:07:27Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:28For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:07:31I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:34Oh, please.
00:07:35A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be called dead with a cleaner.
00:07:38You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:41That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:47That's ridiculous!
00:07:48He doesn't look like that.
00:07:50My ring.
00:07:51Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:07:53Hey, what are you doing?
00:07:57Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:07:59Now.
00:08:00Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:08:01Who the heck is this man?
00:08:02Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:04It's all right, ma'am.
00:08:06This is none of your business.
00:08:07All rabbed dead bodies.
00:08:09You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on.
00:08:12We are the Harrisons.
00:08:14You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:16Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:08:19Now go back.
00:08:20What?
00:08:21Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:08:23That's a lie!
00:08:24Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura!
00:08:26You come back here and explain yourself!
00:08:28Don'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?
00:08:37Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:41I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:45After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:49No!
00:08:50Um...
00:08:51No, the event will proceed.
00:08:54Besides, I'll be there.
00:08:58There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:02Who are you, truly?
00:09:04You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.
00:09:08Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:10Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're going
00:09:21to have a meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today.
00:09:26Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:31Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:37Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:09:39I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:41Ben Harrison, you're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:50After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:09:59Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:03Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:05Security?
00:10:06Get that woman out of here.
00:10:08We don't need cleaners at this event.
00:10:10Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:12This is a business event, after all.
00:10:14Business?
00:10:15You wouldn't know business if it hit you on the head.
00:10:18A fancy dress doesn't make you have society, honey.
00:10:21Just get out.
00:10:22Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:25You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:27Well, Ben, do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:32Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:34Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:36You don't belong here.
00:10:38Just get out!
00:10:40Oh.
00:10:41That's what you get.
00:10:46This contract is mine.
00:10:54To give or take away as I see it.
00:10:58Don't be ridiculous.
00:10:59This is insane.
00:11:00Who do you think you are?
00:11:01Yeah, put that down.
00:11:02You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:04Security?
00:11:05She's lost a mind.
00:11:06This is a disaster.
00:11:08Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,
00:11:13but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:36Laura?
00:11:38I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:11:41It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:11:47You see, it's...
00:11:48Who are you?
00:11:49Laura's new squeeze.
00:11:51Excuse me.
00:11:52Do you know who I am?
00:11:53Is this true?
00:11:54You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:11:57Shame on you!
00:11:58Mr. Shepard, I...
00:11:59For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:12:02I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:12:05Oh, please.
00:12:06A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:12:09You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:12:12That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:12:17That's ridiculous.
00:12:19He doesn't look like that.

00:12:22Jason, give it back to Miss Lewis.
00:12:24Hey, what are you doing?
00:12:26Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:12:30Now.
00:12:31Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:12:32Who the heck is this matter?
00:12:34Have you been sneaking around?
00:12:36It's alright, ma'am.
00:12:37This is none of your business.
00:12:39I'll grab dead bodies.
00:12:40You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on.
00:12:43We are the Harrisons.
00:12:45You can't just waltz in here and take her.

00:15:44but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:15:47You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help?
00:15:49You're so silly, Laura.
00:15:50You deserve it?
00:15:51You deserve it?
00:15:52You deserve it?

00:16:06You deserve it.
00:16:07We deserve it.

00:16:10I need the money to buy it.
00:16:11You deserve it.
00:16:13You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help?
00:16:16You're so silly, Laura.
00:16:18Oh, please, honey.
00:16:19You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:16:21Security, get this woman out of here before this...
00:16:22this woman out of here before she makes another mess I was the one that started
00:16:26this deal with the Shepherds and after careful consideration I don't think the

00:16:37the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done you have
00:16:41no authority here of course she has the authority

00:18:12crazy there's no way you're related to the Lewis family name that's absurd it's it's
00:18:20it's absurd a high society heirs wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood yeah yeah
00:18:26it's a lie it's a lie this woman was a waitress when I met her in fact I saved
00:18:30her from a robbery three years ago she's nothing special she only married me out of
00:18:35gratitude I was just a waitress how convenient for your story Ben first time I
00:18:42met her she was indeed a waitress at the diner okay listen up everybody when I
00:18:47met her I'd only just started my business mm-hmm now look at me I'm
00:18:51signing multi-million dollar contracts look at her still just a cleaner mr.
00:18:57Shepard that woman is my son's ex-wife she's doing all this out of spite
00:19:02she's lying mr. Shepard she's just a cleaning lady for your business isn't
00:19:07she
00:19:08let's make something clear I was the one behind Harrison group success I use my
00:19:17resources to help my ex-husband but all he saw me as was the maid don't lie you
00:19:24were never good enough for Ben when you married him oops that roof was built with
00:19:29lies Kathy you never respected me and Ben dumping me the second you thought you
00:19:36were successful on your own and the cheating I think you're blaming the
00:19:41wrong person you were not good enough for Ben Ben and
00:19:45you're certainly not good enough for him now if you'd prefer to believe a liar's
00:19:50story then the truth Kathy consider this my resignation from the Harrisons from
00:19:58everything oh wait wait Laura you think you can just walk in here and you know
00:20:06ruin everything and then just walk out like nothing happened I don't think so
00:20:09you're a cleaner you're a cleaner that cleans toilets nobody cares about you
00:20:14cleaning toilets or not at least I have my self-respect I don't need a fancy
00:20:21title or a rich husband to feel important
00:20:27I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding I think all jobs are
00:20:31important right mom but I don't think that a a janitor should have some sort of
00:20:38influence over a deal as big as this a janitor well why don't we ask miss Smith
00:20:45exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard you did claim to have been
00:20:52the one that secured the deal weren't you miss Smith mr. Shepard it's all a lie
00:20:57this woman Laura she's just a gold digger trying to trick you I but well a lie you
00:21:05say miss Smith I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison group
00:21:09but I don't recognize you is this true miss Smith
00:21:15miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions this contract was my way of
00:21:21showing my appreciation but the contract I mean Laura tore it up so can't we just
00:21:28print another one and get this signing ceremony underway reprinted mr. Harrison
00:21:33perhaps you haven't been paying attention without miss Lewis involvement I
00:21:38wouldn't even consider working with your company
00:21:45today I want to make it clear Shepard group has no plans to partner with
00:21:50Harrison group in the future
00:21:52miss Smith you lied to us you destroyed everything what no it's a
00:22:00misunderstanding I can explain Lewis Lewis family group this can't be believe what
00:22:08you want Ben Lewis group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this
00:22:13week three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood and I'm sure you can
00:22:20ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am everyone listen to me
00:22:28shepard group will not be partnering with Harrison a man who can keep his vows to
00:22:35his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract the charade is over mr.
00:22:41Harrison everyone here deserves to see the truth miss Lewis shall we take this
00:22:49conversation elsewhere mom mom it seems your night has taken quite the turn mr.
00:23:05shepard indeed perhaps it's best to live them to it
00:23:10mom this is not all on me not on you I was trying to help she cheated on you would
00:23:30miss Smith how could you do this we trusted you completely no no I got Ben the deal I
00:23:46had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura she's a liar I'll stop it Amber you lied

00:24:00plan the shepherds are no one special we can expose Laura and all her lies go

00:30:18trap Amber spoke directly with the CEO he invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting yeah
00:30:25Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis group and unlike some people I have a real invitation
00:30:30well before you all start celebrating why don't you take a look at this
00:30:41oh that's rich you may have Brian Shepard fooled but you can't fool me I spoke to Ian Lewis himself
00:30:47CEO of Lewis group speaking of Brian where is he right now you mean my uncle and don't be ridiculous
00:30:57yeah Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself and besides this looks fake she's a liar
00:31:07this is a personal invitation from mr. Yates himself it grants me access to the VIP elevator which leads
00:31:16straight to the vice presidential suite she's lying they don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel
00:31:21is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel not that I know of see she's lying there you have it
00:31:34Laura even the hotel staff can spot a fake go on get lost before things get worse here take this one
00:31:43leave me to the vice presidents you have no idea what you just did there be consequences
00:31:52besides if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have why don't you just ask him
00:32:01to get the two of them an invitation security security we need this woman removed immediately she is harassing me
00:32:08we're done with your games Laura you're just a fraud man placement what hold on
00:32:13Brian Shepard you think money buys you the right to walk all over people well it doesn't
00:32:22yeah wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood was it huh what other plans do you have to destroy this
00:32:27time get you out after what you did to Laura you had it coming don't play dumb we know exactly what's
00:32:35been happening here how long has this little affair been going on you've been sleeping with
00:32:39her since she was married to my son hold on a second and affair I think Laura and I you people are
00:32:47unbelievable mr. Carter get down here ASAP we have a situation what you think you can just boss the
00:32:57manager around now is that it we'll stick around and watch you crash and burn this Lewis apologies for
00:33:03delay how can I help you this evening thank you mr. Carter for getting down here so quickly it seems
00:33:09there's a misunderstanding these people don't think that I belong here well mr. Carter I can assure you
00:33:16this woman is a cleaner a cleaner nonsense I personally agree to miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood
00:33:23three years ago exactly Lewis group my company has some major investments planned here in Maplewood I
00:33:33was just here investigating potential business opportunities no this woman doesn't know the
00:33:38difference between business and a hole in the ground she's been this way since my son divorced her she's
00:33:43insane actually I've met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop she helped secure a profitable
00:33:50investment for Shepard group no it's a lie mr. Shepard she's tricking you too you know it's exhausting
00:34:01trying to argue with people who forget who helped them mr. Carter would you mind showing me to the VIP
00:34:08elevator wait is that why you're covering for her huh because of the affair because she slept with you
00:34:14excuse me who are you and how dare you speak to miss Lewis that way enough of this that's enough
00:34:19have you embarrass yourself enough this is Lewis group property behave or I'll call security but she
00:34:26doesn't even have a VIP entrance access she shouldn't be here since you're having trouble understanding
00:34:33Ben let me make it clear this hotel is owned by the Lewis family it's mine to come or go as I please
00:34:43thank you for step me in Brian I owe you one we'll talk about this later well it seems
00:34:55divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision mr. Harrison excuse me vice presidents I'm amber

00:35:17today maple wood branch our records don't show any maple wood branch miss Smith are you sure you
00:35:26haven't gotten something mixed up Ian Lewis mr. Lewis reassured me that today we would discuss well
00:35:36expansion plans expansion plans miss Smith a decision like that wouldn't be taken without
00:35:43board approval and frankly we haven't heard anything about maple wood branch but Ian Lewis assured me
00:35:52that miss Smith we have a very important guest arriving soon perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up
00:35:57meeting with one of our staff maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some miss Smith we'd like
00:36:03you to leave if you don't we'll call security hey stop there this elevators of VIP only back please of course my apologies
00:36:18Laura vice presidents it's so good to see all of you again miss Lewis
00:36:32it's been too long your return is a lifesaver miss Lewis the Lewis group has floundered under your
00:36:39uncle's well shall we say unconventional leadership the board are begging you to come back miss Lewis
00:36:46well please sit yes well it is time for me to get my career back on track we've got a meeting planned a big
00:36:57big one in just a few days local powerhouses and smaller players too they'll all be there in one spot
00:37:05miss Lewis we met with an amber Smith she claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a maple wood branch
00:37:15for the Lewis group she said that did she well miss Smith is a liar there is no maple wood branch at
00:37:23least not yet she lied so blatantly it was it's unbelievable well don't worry I found a much more
00:37:31suitable partner shepherd group shepherd crew their rise to a public company has been impressive
00:37:39do you have anything to do with that so what happens now with this amber Smith oh don't worry about
00:37:49amber I've got plans for her this Lewis consider this your official invitation to the meeting from us
00:38:02yeah that's right tell them who we are yes we were waiting for miss Smith Lewis group maple wood branch
00:38:30no such thing ma'am and frankly I'm not interested in your act of course Laura she's probably sleeping
00:38:38with the manager as well that's how she gets away with everything you underestimate her Kathy she's
00:38:44probably sleeping with all three vice presidents no way a girl like her could get into a hotel like
00:38:49this careful with your words both of you acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble
00:38:55look who can't even get into a meeting whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents and
00:39:03let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood looks like she used you and
00:39:08tossed you aside use me unlike some people I don't mind being helpful you're so stupid she threw you away
00:39:16like yesterday's trash don't worry Brian you deserve better and let's not forget I'm the new Maplewood branch
00:39:23manager of Lewis group appointed by the CEO of Lewis group themselves Ian Lewis
00:39:29new branch manager huh interesting Laura Lewis what are you doing here get out of here you claim
00:39:38to be the mystery guest don't play games Laura I was formally invited by Lewis group themselves to the
00:39:45investment meeting only the top companies get those looks like you're all out of luck is that so well then
00:39:53there seems to be a misunderstanding you see I'm not sure if you know miss Smith but Lewis group is my
00:40:02company and I decide who goes to the meetings escort them out their visit is over oh come on this way
00:40:12please I'm not leaving move we're not leaving again move oh no no no we're not going now okay

00:40:31and thank you for defending me I really appreciate it
00:40:39um are you coming to the meeting yes but it's gonna be tricky
00:40:47why I'm sure that shepherd group got an invitation
00:40:53yes Laura there's something you should know
00:41:01yes is this about Ben because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems he won't even get
00:41:10past security Laura it's not Ben it's someone else
00:41:16someone's causing problems for shepherd group yes her name is Chloe Duke she is daughter of the Duke family
00:41:30she's my ex-fiancé and let's say things didn't end so well between us and
00:41:41let's just say we didn't end things so well and for some reason she's having a hard time moving on
00:41:51and you think that she's gonna cause problems at the meeting for
00:41:59out of jealousy there's a possibility she's kind of jealous
00:42:09well all the more reason for you to be there besides I'll be there too
00:42:18Laura would you consider being my guest at the meeting
00:42:25what are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too
00:42:31maybe a little but mostly I want to show them we're team
00:42:36well it's a very kind offer Mr. Shepherd thank you
00:42:41Laura
00:42:43I don't care about your best
00:42:49I just want to be by your side
00:42:51I think I'm falling for you
00:42:54Brian

00:50:14I
00:50:15thought
00:50:16about
00:50:17that
00:50:18playing dress-up again, Laura?
00:50:20One more to a respectful remark
00:50:22towards Laura, Ms. Smith.
00:50:24And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:50:26You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone
00:50:28for this, this gold digger?
00:50:31You know, Ben,
00:50:32I really cared about you
00:50:34even after all the horrible things
00:50:36you said to me after our divorce.
00:50:38I know the name of a great psychologist
00:50:40in New York. Maybe the shrinks
00:50:42in Maplewood aren't
00:50:44equipped to deal with your issues.
00:50:47Enough!
00:50:48I've had enough of this drama.
00:50:50Yeah, me too.
00:50:51Try that again, and you'll regret it.
00:50:55I'll get the hell out of my face.
00:50:57Let's see if you two
00:50:58even make it past the door.
00:50:59Yeah.
00:51:02I'm sorry, Ms. Smith,
00:51:03but your name's not on the guest list.
00:51:05What? That's impossible.
00:51:07I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:51:12Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group
00:51:14or Smith Group,
00:51:15your name is on the list.
00:51:16What?
00:51:17Looks like you two won't be getting let in
00:51:19after all.
00:51:21You don't have an invitation.
00:51:22You're just here because of Brian.
00:51:25Oh.
00:51:28Let me see this.
00:51:29This doesn't even look real.
00:51:30It's different from mine.
00:51:31Why don't you ask her
00:51:33if it's real.
00:51:36This appears to be a VIP invitation
00:51:38from the Vice President.
00:51:39What?
00:51:41Please, right this way.
00:51:43We can continue this discussion later.
00:51:45If you manage to get in.
00:51:51Sir,
00:51:51Madam,
00:51:52we recommend you leave.
00:51:54Oh.
00:51:55No.
00:51:56There you are!
00:51:57How dare you steal my fiancée!
00:52:01There you are!
00:52:03How dare you steal my fiancée!
00:52:05Looks like another relationship
00:52:06fights the dust, Laura.
00:52:08Looks like stealing men
00:52:10is a hobby of yours.
00:52:11Get away from him!
00:52:13He's engaged to me!
00:52:14Hey, hey, hey.
00:52:15Hold your horses, Gwain.
00:52:16That ended a long time ago.
00:52:19Engaged to you.
00:52:20Everyone in Maplewood
00:52:22knows what you did to Brian.
00:52:24Your relationship's history.
00:52:25That was just a little tiff.
00:52:28You really think
00:52:29that could tear us apart?
00:52:31Don't you know who I am?
00:52:34Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:52:36Oh, honey.
00:52:37She don't recognize royalty,
00:52:39let alone a duke.
00:52:40She's just a maid, remember?
00:52:42I don't have time
00:52:43for all this drama.
00:52:45Brian?
00:52:47Let's head inside.
00:52:49Brian!
00:52:50How could you choose
00:52:51this cleaner
00:52:52over me?
00:52:53Are you really going to
00:52:55humiliate me
00:52:56in front of all of Maplewood?
00:52:57There's nothing left to say,
00:52:59Gloria.
00:52:59Don't make this a scene.
00:53:01Shall we?
00:53:07You okay, Miss Duke?
00:53:10And you are?
00:53:11Amber Smith.
00:53:13I'm the Maplewood branch
00:53:14manager of Lewis Group.
00:53:16What branch?
00:53:16I've never heard of it.
00:53:18What do you want from me?
00:53:19That Laura!
00:53:19She tore up my invitation.
00:53:22Do you think
00:53:23you can get me inside?
00:53:24What, your little manager title
00:53:25couldn't get you
00:53:26past the front door?
00:53:28Please don't waste my time.
00:53:49If I can't have Brian,
00:54:03neither can you.
00:54:05The Duke family
00:54:05has more influence
00:54:06than you think.
00:54:09Chloe,
00:54:09good to see you.
00:54:10I've been expecting you.
00:54:12Uncle Jones,
00:54:13how are you?
00:54:13Good.
00:54:14I need your help
00:54:17with something.
00:54:18What is it?
00:54:19Anything for my little Chloe.
00:54:21It's Brian.
00:54:23Who's that
00:54:23woman?
00:54:24I thought you were...
00:54:25She's a con woman.
00:54:27She actually used to be
00:54:28a cleaner
00:54:29in his company.
00:54:30What?
00:54:31Are you saying
00:54:32Brian left
00:54:34you
00:54:34for a cleaner?
00:54:36Well, she's pretending
00:54:37to be a Lewis
00:54:38to get close to him.
00:54:40What are you planning?
00:54:43I want to destroy
00:54:44Shepard Group.
00:54:47Anyway,
00:54:48I am terribly sorry
00:54:50about Chloe.
00:54:52I had no idea
00:54:53she would be so...
00:54:54intense.
00:54:59What do you mean?
00:55:00You so should have
00:55:02taken her up
00:55:02on her offer.
00:55:03I mean,
00:55:03you guys are just...
00:55:05power couple.
00:55:08I see what you're doing.
00:55:10Power couple,
00:55:11you say?
00:55:13More like a
00:55:14disaster
00:55:15waiting to happen.
00:55:17Anyway,
00:55:19shall we take a seat?
00:55:20Actually,
00:55:21Brian,
00:55:21my seat
00:55:23is...
00:55:23up there.
00:55:27Really?
00:55:28She doesn't deserve
00:55:29to sit there.
00:55:30Excuse me.
00:55:31This is my
00:55:32VIP invitation.
00:55:34I can sit
00:55:35wherever I like.
00:55:37Hey,
00:55:37what do you think
00:55:38you're doing?
00:55:39This is signed
00:55:40by all three
00:55:40VPs of Lewis Group.
00:55:42Where did you get this?
00:55:43Who did you
00:55:45have to sleep with?
00:55:46That's enough.
00:55:49This is getting us
00:55:50nowhere.
00:55:51Laura is my guest
00:55:53and I will not
00:55:54tolerate
00:55:54any kind
00:55:56of disrespect
00:55:57towards her.
00:55:57got it?
00:55:59Mr.
00:56:00Shepherd,
00:56:01what do you see
00:56:02in that woman?
00:56:04Miss Duke
00:56:04is a perfect match
00:56:05for you.
00:56:06She's from a good family,
00:56:08beautiful
00:56:08and successful.
00:56:10What more
00:56:11could you ask for?
00:56:12That's a good question.
00:56:14Not much,
00:56:15actually.
00:56:17Honesty.
00:56:19That's what I want.
00:56:21And love.
00:56:22Things that clearly
00:56:24Chloe has no idea.
00:56:26I said I was sorry.
00:56:28What more do you want?
00:56:30I've watched
00:56:31Chloe grow up.
00:56:32She's like a daughter
00:56:33to me.
00:56:34I won't allow her
00:56:35to be spoken to
00:56:36like that.
00:56:40One more chance,
00:56:41Brian.
00:56:42Let's forget
00:56:42all this nonsense.
00:56:45Do it,
00:56:45Mr. Shepherd.
00:56:46Propose.
00:56:47Right here.
00:56:48Right now.
00:56:50Brian?
00:56:52Well,
00:56:54is this how
00:56:55the Duke family
00:56:56handles business deals?
00:56:58By forcing
00:56:59a ring on someone?
00:57:01Do it,
00:57:02or you can kiss goodbye
00:57:03all future investments
00:57:04with the Duke family.
00:57:10Don't you dare.
00:57:12You're humiliating yourself.
00:57:15How dare you?
00:57:16Do you really like
00:57:17this nobody from nowhere?
00:57:19Yes.
00:57:19I like her.
00:57:24But I can't imagine
00:57:25someone like her
00:57:26interesting in me.
00:57:29The truth is,
00:57:31I wouldn't be here
00:57:32where I am today
00:57:33without her.
00:57:34Why would you choose
00:57:36someone like her?
00:57:37I know.
00:57:38Exactly.
00:57:39This woman is trouble.
00:57:40She doesn't belong here.
00:57:42Throw her out.
00:57:43You do realize
00:57:44that there is no
00:57:45investment meeting
00:57:46without me?
00:57:48Interesting turn of events.
00:57:51Perhaps it's time
00:57:51we shed some light
00:57:52on your mysterious past.
00:57:54Do you
00:57:55actually think
00:57:57that just because
00:57:57you have the name
00:57:58Laura,
00:57:59that you're the missing
00:58:00heiress,
00:58:00Laura Lewis?
00:58:01You know what?
00:58:04Maybe you're right,
00:58:05Chloe.
00:58:06How ridiculous.
00:58:08Is that what you've
00:58:09been telling everyone?
00:58:10I'm sure
00:58:11that the Duke family
00:58:13still values
00:58:14cooperation,
00:58:15but
00:58:15wow,
00:58:17did I underestimate
00:58:18your foolishness,
00:58:20Chloe?
00:58:21You have no right
00:58:22to talk to Miss Duke
00:58:22like that.
00:58:23That's enough.
00:58:25You don't get to talk here.
00:58:26You got mad,
00:58:27Shepard.
00:58:27You dare to go
00:58:28against Miss Duke.
00:58:29And the same applies
00:58:30to everyone else here.
00:58:32Anyone
00:58:32who insults Laura.
00:58:35Leave us with a black eye.
00:58:37It's willing to
00:58:37offend the Duke for her.
00:58:38What kind of
00:58:39charm does she have?
00:58:40I want to be careful,
00:58:41Brian.
00:58:42Don't forget that
00:58:43this entire hotel chain
00:58:44is owned by
00:58:45the Lewis Group.
00:58:46Are you willing
00:58:47to get blacklisted
00:58:48for this public tantrum?
00:58:50The Lewis Group
00:58:51isn't blacklisting anyone,
00:58:53especially not
00:58:54Shepard Group.
00:58:59Lewis Group R.S.?
00:59:01You?
00:59:02Don't make me laugh.
00:59:05Security!
00:59:06Remove these two
00:59:07imposters from the premises.
00:59:09Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:59:10Give Brian another chance.
00:59:12Choose, Brian.
00:59:14Me and the future
00:59:15you deserve
00:59:16or this
00:59:16fraud.
00:59:20Chloe,
00:59:21I have everything
00:59:23I ever wanted
00:59:24right here.
00:59:25and I wouldn't
00:59:27trade for all
00:59:27the power
00:59:28the Duke's home
00:59:28in Maplewood.
00:59:30Fine.
00:59:36Short the stock
00:59:37of the Shepard Group.
00:59:38What?
00:59:40You forced
00:59:41my hand, Brian.
00:59:43Now Shepard Group
00:59:44is ruined.
00:59:45The Duke family,
00:59:46they can't be serious.
00:59:47Shepard Group
00:59:48is doomed.
00:59:49Brian,
00:59:50you don't have
00:59:51to do this
00:59:52for me.
00:59:54Laura,
00:59:55I will never
00:59:56let anyone
00:59:56bully you.
00:59:58Let alone them.
00:59:59Thank you,
01:00:01Brian,
01:00:01for
01:00:02for believing
01:00:04in me,
01:00:05for
01:00:05protecting me.
01:00:08Now it's my turn
01:00:09to protect you.
01:00:16Listen carefully.
01:00:18I need you
01:00:19to protect
01:00:20the Shepard Group's
01:00:21stock
01:00:22at all
01:00:23costs.
01:00:24don't let it
01:00:25drop
01:00:25even one
01:00:27cent.
01:00:29Do you understand?
01:00:30Wow.
01:00:32Award-winning
01:00:33performance,
01:00:34Laura.
01:00:34But you can't
01:00:35possibly control
01:00:36the stock market.
01:00:37Want to put your
01:00:39money where
01:00:40your mouth is,
01:00:40Chloe?
01:00:42If
01:00:42the Shepard stock
01:00:45holds
01:00:45for the next
01:00:48five minutes,
01:00:49you owe me
01:00:52a public
01:00:53apology.
01:00:59Deal.
01:01:03Well,
01:01:04looks like
01:01:06your five
01:01:06minutes
01:01:07is up.
01:01:08Let's see
01:01:09how the Shepard stock
01:01:10is doing.
01:01:15What the?
01:01:16The Shepard Group's
01:01:17stock prices?
01:01:18It's going up!
01:01:20This can't be happening.
01:01:21It must be a coincidence.
01:01:28Why didn't you
01:01:29short the stock
01:01:30like I asked?
01:01:32There was a huge
01:01:33investment.
01:01:33We couldn't compete.
01:01:35Shepard's stock price
01:01:35is being heavily
01:01:36supported.
01:01:37How did you
01:01:39do this?
01:01:40Like I said,
01:01:42Chloe,
01:01:43I'm
01:01:44Laura Lewis.
01:01:46No,
01:01:47you're not.
01:01:47You're just
01:01:48some cleaner.
01:01:49You don't have
01:01:49access to billions.
01:01:51Well,
01:01:52I think it's
01:01:54time for my
01:01:54apology.
01:02:00No.
01:02:01I think it's
01:02:02time for my
01:02:02apology.
01:02:03There is no way
01:02:04I'm apologizing
01:02:05to you.
01:02:05If things were
01:02:07the other way,
01:02:07would you be so
01:02:08quick to forgive
01:02:09me,
01:02:10Chloe?
01:02:11The truth is
01:02:12everyone here
01:02:14has seen you
01:02:16be a bully
01:02:17and a coward
01:02:18and now
01:02:20a sore
01:02:22loser.
01:02:23This is so
01:02:25humiliating for
01:02:26her.
01:02:27How did she
01:02:27manage that?
01:02:28Maybe she
01:02:29really is a
01:02:30Lewis.
01:02:31Apologize to
01:02:32Miss Lewis.
01:02:33Shut up.
01:02:34Don't you
01:02:35talk about
01:02:36Miss Duke
01:02:36like that.
01:02:37Don't forget,
01:02:39the Duke
01:02:39finally owned
01:02:39half of
01:02:40Maplewood.
01:02:41There you go,
01:02:41it's always.
01:02:42Let's get
01:02:43out of here.
01:02:45Hold on.
01:02:47This is
01:02:48where I belong
01:02:49and that
01:02:51is my
01:02:53chair.
01:02:54You can't go
01:02:55there.
01:02:55That is the
01:02:55VIP section.
01:02:57Only those
01:02:58invited by the
01:02:59Lewis Group
01:02:59vice presidents
01:03:00get to sit
01:03:01there.
01:03:01like I said,
01:03:03Chloe,
01:03:03that's my
01:03:05seat.
01:03:09Had a
01:03:11rumor floating
01:03:12around a few
01:03:13days ago.
01:03:14Seems Miss
01:03:15Lewis caused
01:03:15quite a scene
01:03:16at a signing
01:03:17ceremony between
01:03:18her ex and
01:03:20Mr.
01:03:20Shepard,
01:03:21wasn't it?
01:03:22Are you planning
01:03:23another outburst,
01:03:24Laura?
01:03:24Is this how you
01:03:25charm oil men?
01:03:27Shall we?
01:03:27My pleasure.
01:03:30What are you
01:03:31doing?
01:03:32Let go.
01:03:34It doesn't
01:03:34matter what
01:03:35happened.
01:03:35I choose to
01:03:36stay by Laura's
01:03:37side.
01:03:39Let's go.
01:03:40Don't be
01:03:41absurd.
01:03:42That seat is
01:03:42reserved for a
01:03:43very important
01:03:44guest.
01:03:46Someone so
01:03:47esteemed,
01:03:47even the vice
01:03:48presidents have
01:03:49to bow low.
01:03:52And
01:03:52how
01:03:54exactly,
01:03:56Mr.
01:03:56Jones?
01:03:57Are you so
01:03:58sure that
01:03:59I'm not that
01:04:00esteemed guest?
01:04:02Wait,
01:04:02that's Peter
01:04:03Young,
01:04:03Director of
01:04:04Business Affairs
01:04:04at Lewis Group.
01:04:09Ask Peter
01:04:09Young.
01:04:10He decides
01:04:11which
01:04:11investment is
01:04:11going to be.
01:04:11It's Chloe
01:04:12Duke,
01:04:13Head of Duke
01:04:13Industries.
01:04:14So glad you
01:04:15could join us.
01:04:16Why is everyone
01:04:16standing around?
01:04:17It's her.
01:04:18She's making a
01:04:19huge scene,
01:04:20trying to claim
01:04:20the VIP seat.
01:04:21It's embarrassing.
01:04:23That seat's
01:04:24reserved for the
01:04:24Lewis Group
01:04:25VIP guest.
01:04:26specifically the
01:04:27family heir.
01:04:29Please get off
01:04:29the stage.
01:04:31Oh yes.
01:04:32Mr. Young,
01:04:34was it?
01:04:34I think I
01:04:35remember you.
01:04:36You manage
01:04:37my family's
01:04:38investments.
01:04:40Don't pretend
01:04:41like you know
01:04:41what's going on.
01:04:43Please get off
01:04:44the stage.
01:04:44That seat's
01:04:45reserved for the
01:04:46Lewis family heir.
01:04:47I need to make
01:04:48one thing
01:04:48crystal clear.
01:04:55I
01:04:55am the
01:04:57heir
01:04:57of the
01:04:59Lewis family.
01:05:02This is
01:05:03ridiculous.
01:05:04You,
01:05:05the
01:05:05Lewis heir.
01:05:06Don't you know
01:05:07that Miss Lewis
01:05:07is a legend
01:05:08around here?
01:05:09You must be
01:05:10out of your
01:05:10mind trusting
01:05:11a complete
01:05:11stranger like
01:05:12this.
01:05:12Exactly.
01:05:13We ran a
01:05:14background check
01:05:14on her
01:05:15and turns

01:05:17cleaner that
01:05:17used to
01:05:18work for
01:05:18the Harrison
01:05:18group.
01:05:19Before that,
01:05:20I could see
01:05:21her in my
01:05:21family's
01:05:22supermarket.

01:05:25you've been
01:05:25chasing after.

01:05:30out of here
01:05:30and everyone

01:05:33Why would
01:05:33any of you

01:05:35Laura?
01:05:36If any
01:05:36of you

01:05:39you have

01:05:45just someone
01:05:46that the
01:05:46Harrison
01:05:47group
01:05:47ditched.
01:05:48They didn't
01:05:49even want
01:05:49her.
01:05:50What exactly
01:05:50do you see
01:05:51in her?
01:05:52Escort this
01:05:52imposter
01:05:52out of here.
01:05:54Now.
01:05:55Oh,
01:05:55Peter.
01:06:03Peter,
01:06:04do you
01:06:04have any
01:06:05idea what
01:06:05you're
01:06:05doing?
01:06:07Mr. Yates,
01:06:08I'm so glad
01:06:09you could
01:06:09join us.
01:06:12Miss
01:06:12Lewis,
01:06:13sorry about
01:06:14the delay.
01:06:15And for
01:06:15all the
01:06:16trouble you've
01:06:16had to put
01:06:16up with.
01:06:17It's no
01:06:18trouble,
01:06:19Mr.
01:06:19Yates.
01:06:20Luckily,
01:06:21I haven't
01:06:21been alone.
01:06:22I've had
01:06:23the great
01:06:23company of
01:06:24my very
01:06:25loyal
01:06:25friend.
01:06:28Wait a
01:06:29minute.
01:06:29She's
01:06:30Miss
01:06:30Lewis.
01:06:30Is this
01:06:31a joke?
01:06:32Mr.
01:06:33Young,
01:06:33you're new
01:06:34to the
01:06:34Lewis group,
01:06:35so I can
01:06:36understand why
01:06:37you wouldn't
01:06:37recognize Miss
01:06:38Lewis.
01:06:38But you
01:06:40listened to
01:06:40lies without
01:06:41checking the
01:06:42facts.
01:06:42and almost
01:06:44called the
01:06:45police.
01:06:46Tell me,
01:06:48Mr. Young,
01:06:49who put you
01:06:50up to this?
01:06:51Was it my
01:06:52uncle,
01:06:52Ian Lewis?
01:06:56I knew it.
01:07:00Consider this
01:07:01your termination.
01:07:03I get it now.
01:07:05This is all
01:07:06an act,
01:07:07right?
01:07:07Chloe,
01:07:08what are you
01:07:08doing?
01:07:09We still want to
01:07:09work with the
01:07:09Lewis family.
01:07:10Work with
01:07:11them.
01:07:11Are you
01:07:11blind?
01:07:12This woman
01:07:12is clearly
01:07:13having an
01:07:13affair with
01:07:14this old
01:07:14man.
01:07:16That's
01:07:16enough,
01:07:16young lady.
01:07:17You've
01:07:18got no
01:07:18right to
01:07:18disrespect
01:07:19the head
01:07:19of the
01:07:19Lewis group.
01:07:22Oh,
01:07:23Chloe,
01:07:24I can't
01:07:24believe we're
01:07:24going through
01:07:25this again.
01:07:25I think
01:07:26you need
01:07:27some
01:07:27professional
01:07:28help.
01:07:29Maybe I
01:07:30could make
01:07:30you an
01:07:30appointment
01:07:30with a
01:07:31great
01:07:31psychiatrist.
01:07:32Chloe,
01:07:33that's
01:07:33enough.
01:07:34It's
01:07:34ridiculous.
01:07:35If you
01:07:35were really
01:07:35the
01:07:36Lewis family
01:07:36heir,
01:07:36you would
01:07:37have
01:07:37the ring.
01:07:38So why
01:07:38don't you
01:07:39show it
01:07:39to everyone?
01:07:39Show us
01:07:40the ring.
01:07:44Why don't
01:07:44you show
01:07:45that to
01:07:45everyone?
01:07:46Show us
01:07:46the ring.
01:07:48Show us
01:07:48the ring.
01:07:49Who are
01:07:50you to
01:07:50make demands
01:07:51of me?
01:07:52I don't
01:07:53answer to
01:07:53anyone but
01:07:54myself.
01:07:56I don't
01:07:57need any
01:07:58of your
01:07:59validation.
01:08:02There's a ring.

01:08:34hostwife.
01:08:35A janitor.
01:08:36How

01:08:39It's a

01:09:06She fooled

01:09:11and control
01:09:12everything

01:09:13I had
01:09:14no idea.
01:09:15But I'm

01:09:17I can

01:09:20All the

01:10:23No.
01:10:25It's
01:10:26impossible.
01:10:26Chloe,
01:10:28what have
01:10:28you done?
01:10:29Years of
01:10:30hard work

01:10:35What did
01:10:36you do?
01:10:38Well,
01:10:39Chloe,
01:10:40isn't this
01:10:41what you
01:10:42wanted?
01:10:42To give
01:10:43me a little
01:10:43taste of
01:10:44destruction?
01:10:45This is

01:10:48impossible!
01:10:49Chloe,

01:10:58Are you
01:11:00sure it's
01:11:00just Shepard's?
01:11:01Yes!
01:11:02Shareholders

01:11:03our stock
01:11:04like it's
01:11:04a hot
01:11:05potato.
01:11:06We could
01:11:06go bankrupt.
01:11:07You've
01:11:08ruined
01:11:08everything!
01:11:09Don't worry,
01:11:09Mr. Duke.
01:11:10When your
01:11:12company does
01:11:12go bankrupt,
01:11:14I'll buy it.
01:11:15At a fire sale
01:11:16price.
01:11:16Your employees

01:11:18Brilliant!
01:11:19A master
01:11:20stroke,
01:11:20Ms. Lewis.
01:11:22Now,
01:11:23this is
01:11:25my event.
01:11:27Please leave.
01:11:28Brian,
01:11:28I did this
01:11:29for us!
01:11:30Everything I
01:11:31did, I did
01:11:31for us,
01:11:32Brian!
01:11:34Chloe,
01:11:35you need
01:11:37help.
01:11:38These feelings
01:11:38you have
01:11:39for me,
01:11:40it's not
01:11:41love.
01:11:42It's
01:11:43obsession.
01:11:44Enough!
01:11:46If you
01:11:46don't want to
01:11:46ruin everything
01:11:47completely,
01:11:48you'll come
01:11:48with me
01:11:49right now.
01:11:51No.
01:11:52Right now!
01:11:53No!
01:11:55Ryan!
01:12:01Laura!
01:12:02This isn't
01:12:02over!
01:12:03Get out
01:12:04of me!
01:12:05What?
01:12:06What?
01:12:07You hear me?
01:12:09What is
01:12:10going on
01:12:10here?
01:12:11Did they
01:12:12finally expose
01:12:13Laura's lies?
01:12:14Shepard Group.
01:12:15They're the new
01:12:15partner that's
01:12:16partnering up with
01:12:17Lewis Group
01:12:17for Maplewood.
01:12:19They're handling
01:12:19all future
01:12:20construction projects.
01:12:21That can't be!
01:12:23What about us?
01:12:24That was our
01:12:24project!
01:12:25Remember,
01:12:25Laura teamed up
01:12:26with Brian.
01:12:28Harrison Group
01:12:28is practically
01:12:29out.
01:12:29We have no chance.
01:12:31We can't give up
01:12:31that easily.
01:12:33Remember,
01:12:34Ian Lewis himself
01:12:35appointed me
01:12:35as general manager.
01:12:37In a few days,
01:12:37he promised that
01:12:38he would let us
01:12:39meet with a new
01:12:39heir.
01:12:40You're right.
01:12:41If we can just
01:12:42meet with a new
01:12:42heir,
01:12:43we can bypass
01:12:43the Shepards
01:12:44and meet directly
01:12:45with the Lewis Group.
01:12:47We just have to
01:12:47play their little
01:12:48game and see
01:12:49who comes out
01:12:49on top.
01:12:51That's right.
01:12:55Vice Presidents,
01:12:56allow me to
01:12:57introduce my
01:12:58associate,
01:12:59Brian Shepard.
01:13:01I'm sure
01:13:01I've mentioned
01:13:02him before.
01:13:03Mr. Shepard,
01:13:04it's finally a
01:13:04pleasure to meet
01:13:05you.
01:13:06We've looked into
01:13:07your company's
01:13:08financial review.
01:13:10Very impressive.
01:13:12Thank you, bud.
01:13:13A large part of
01:13:14that success
01:13:15is thanks to
01:13:16Ms. Lewis.
01:13:17She practically
01:13:19saved me from
01:13:19disaster.
01:13:20Three times over
01:13:21now.
01:13:22Brian,
01:13:22you can just
01:13:23call me Laura.
01:13:25Ms. Lewis's
01:13:26recommendation
01:13:26is very telling,
01:13:28Mr. Shepard.
01:13:29Perhaps today
01:13:30clarifies everything.
01:13:32Mr. Shepard,
01:13:33this opportunity
01:13:34is golden.
01:13:36Seize it.
01:13:38A woman like
01:13:38Laura is not
01:13:40easy to find.
01:13:41Thank you for
01:13:42your kind words,
01:13:42Mr. Vice President.
01:13:51Did Laura send
01:13:52you to kill me?
01:13:54Laura?
01:13:55Hardly.
01:13:56I'm Ian Lewis,
01:13:58CEO and
01:13:58rightful heir
01:13:59of the Lewis Group.
01:14:02So you're
01:14:03Laura's uncle?
01:14:04In the flesh.
01:14:06So Laura really
01:14:08is your niece?
01:14:09Yes,
01:14:10little Laura.
01:14:11She just threw
01:14:12away her birthright
01:14:13about two,
01:14:14three years ago.
01:14:16Ran off and
01:14:16married a nobody
01:14:17from Maplewood.
01:14:19I think he was
01:14:19a Harrison.
01:14:20Now Laura's
01:14:21got the VPs
01:14:22and Mr. Yates
01:14:23on her side.
01:14:24Did you hear
01:14:24she's throwing
01:14:24a banquet in a few
01:14:25days to announce
01:14:26her official takeover?
01:14:28And we can't
01:14:29let that happen,
01:14:29can we, my dear?
01:14:31If you're Ian Lewis,
01:14:33wouldn't you have
01:14:33the family ring?
01:14:34Well, my dear,
01:14:36that's where you come in,
01:14:37Miss Duke.
01:14:38We need you
01:14:38to relinquish my ring.
01:14:42What if I,
01:14:42what if I fail?
01:14:43My family is already
01:14:45ruined.
01:14:46Yes,
01:14:46you are in a spot
01:14:47of bother,
01:14:48I must say.
01:14:49But,
01:14:50if successful,
01:14:51I guarantee
01:14:52that you
01:14:52and the Duke family
01:14:54will get back
01:14:55everything you've lost.
01:14:57Laura's got the
01:14:57VPs and Brian
01:14:58on her side.
01:14:59How can I possibly
01:15:00get the ring?
01:15:01There is a way,
01:15:02you know,
01:15:03that we can make
01:15:04Laura relinquish
01:15:06and give up
01:15:07that ring
01:15:07willingly.
01:15:10Laura,
01:15:11my dear,
01:15:12welcome.
01:15:12Uncle Ian,
01:15:14it's so good
01:15:15to see you.
01:15:19Laura.
01:15:20It's so good
01:15:21to see you.
01:15:22And you,
01:15:22it's been
01:15:23too long,
01:15:24two,
01:15:25three years perhaps.
01:15:27How have you been?
01:15:28I've been well,
01:15:29Uncle Ian.
01:15:30Thank you for asking.
01:15:32I see you've been
01:15:33busy keeping
01:15:34Lewis Group afloat.
01:15:36Yes.
01:15:36It's been easy.
01:15:37Indeed,
01:15:38somebody had to.
01:15:39I mean,
01:15:40after you left me
01:15:41with everything to do,
01:15:42without a safe
01:15:43pair of hands,
01:15:44I hate to think
01:15:44it would have
01:15:45happened to the company.
01:15:47Actually,
01:15:47Uncle Ian,
01:15:48from what I've heard,
01:15:50you've lost billions
01:15:51with some
01:15:52questionable
01:15:53investment decisions.
01:15:55Yes.
01:15:56Minor mistakes.
01:15:57Minor.
01:15:58Don't worry,
01:15:59Uncle Ian.
01:16:00I won't hold it
01:16:00against you.
01:16:01Oh,
01:16:02good.
01:16:04Well,
01:16:04cheers to you
01:16:05coming back here
01:16:06and
01:16:07the Lewis Group.
01:16:09I'm so sorry,
01:16:13Laura.
01:16:14How clumsy of me.
01:16:15No,
01:16:16no worries,
01:16:17Uncle Ian.
01:16:17I'll just go
01:16:19to the restroom
01:16:20and get cleaned up.
01:16:22Of course.
01:16:23Right away,
01:16:24just down to the left.
01:16:31Use it wisely.
01:16:33Oh,
01:16:33I will.
01:16:39Hey,
01:16:49Laura.
01:16:49How's that?
01:16:51Hello,
01:16:51Brian.
01:16:52Your little girlfriend
01:16:53is with me now.
01:16:54Chloe,
01:16:55how in the hell
01:16:57did you get
01:16:57Laura's home?
01:16:58Let's just say
01:16:59that I have my ways.
01:17:01Listen,
01:17:02Chloe,
01:17:02don't hurt her.
01:17:05Please.
01:17:06I'll do anything.
01:17:08Come to the
01:17:10abandoned warehouse
01:17:11in the eastern suburbs
01:17:12now.
01:17:14Don't tell anyone
01:17:16if you want her alive.
01:17:20Well,
01:17:20you certainly do
01:17:21have your ways.
01:17:26Oh,
01:17:26thank goodness
01:17:27you've cleared up.
01:17:27I am sorry.
01:17:28How clumsy.
01:17:30And don't forget
01:17:30your phone.
01:17:31I retrieved it for you.
01:17:33I'm going to be in.
01:17:34Lovely to see you again.
01:17:35Yeah.
01:17:36I guess
01:17:36I'll see you
01:17:37the day
01:17:37after tomorrow
01:17:38at the banquet.
01:17:39At the banquet.
01:17:42I'll see you then.
01:17:43Will do.
01:17:44Looking forward to it.
01:17:48Laura!
01:17:49Laura!
01:17:50Where are you?
01:17:51Laura!
01:17:53Laura!
01:17:54Where are you?
01:17:56God,
01:17:56Laura!
01:17:57Laura,
01:17:58where are you?
01:17:59Laura!
01:17:59Go shut your mouth.
01:18:27Chloe,
01:18:29what have you done?
01:18:31You out of your mind?
01:18:32Out of my mind?
01:18:34You're the one
01:18:35that left me
01:18:35for that tram
01:18:36and destroyed my life!
01:18:37That's not true.
01:18:39You're the one
01:18:39who messed up!
01:18:40Brian!
01:18:41Laura!
01:18:44Stay where you are.
01:18:46You better
01:18:46come alone.
01:18:49Drop this knife,
01:18:50Chloe.
01:18:50This is insane!
01:18:52Insane?
01:18:53I did this for us,
01:18:54Brian!
01:18:54We were meant
01:18:56to be together.
01:18:58Oh my God.
01:18:58Us?
01:18:59You've gone crazy!
01:19:01Then you're out of here!
01:19:02Chloe,
01:19:03kidnapping
01:19:03is a very
01:19:05serious offense.
01:19:06They're gonna lock you up
01:19:07for years!
01:19:09You think I care
01:19:10about jail time?
01:19:12All I care about
01:19:13is tearing you two apart.
01:19:14You don't deserve him.
01:19:17What you've done,
01:19:18you've destroyed my life,
01:19:20my company,
01:19:21everything!
01:19:22Now I'm gonna destroy
01:19:24your life!
01:19:26Give me
01:19:27the family ring now!
01:19:29Give it to me!
01:19:30This is about the ring.
01:19:32Did my Uncle Ian
01:19:34put you up to this?
01:19:36You know, Chloe,
01:19:37trying to kill me,
01:19:40that's foolish.
01:19:42Because who do you think
01:19:43is gonna win?
01:19:45You,
01:19:47that little knife,
01:19:47or
01:19:48me.
01:19:51Something a little bit
01:19:52more persuasive.
01:20:00Freeze!
01:20:02Don't move, anyone!
01:20:05Don't move!
01:20:07You're about to be
01:20:08arrested for kidnapping.
01:20:10Miss Lewis,
01:20:11having fun without me?
01:20:13I'm hurt.
01:20:14Are you hurt?
01:20:18No, I'm okay.
01:20:20I'm okay.
01:20:22Tell me, Chloe.
01:20:25Who put you up
01:20:26to this, Chloe?
01:20:27Why should I tell you?
01:20:29You're gonna kill me anyway.
01:20:31Chloe,
01:20:32I don't have a problem
01:20:33with you.
01:20:34But if you don't talk,
01:20:37your beloved Duke Industries
01:20:39might run into some.
01:20:41Well, I'm recording
01:20:42everything, Miss Lewis.
01:20:43So the choice
01:20:45is yours, Chloe.
01:20:47Talk,
01:20:48or face the consequences.
01:20:50Fine.
01:20:51It was Ian Lewis.
01:20:53He,
01:20:53he said he'd help Duke Industries
01:20:55if I kept you away
01:20:56from the bank room today.
01:20:59Did you get all of that,
01:21:00Mr. Yates?
01:21:01I'm recording everything,
01:21:02Miss Lewis.
01:21:05Oh, every word,
01:21:07Miss Lewis.
01:21:08Are you ready
01:21:08to play a game,
01:21:10Brian?
01:21:10Go.
01:21:13This is crazy.
01:21:22Are we really sure
01:21:22we can do this?
01:21:23All these big companies here,
01:21:24it's crazy.
01:21:26Absolutely.
01:21:27The Lewis Group
01:21:28is under new leadership.
01:21:29We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:21:31Exactly.
01:21:32We just need to make sure
01:21:33we make a good impression
01:21:34on the new heir.
01:21:35There's Ian Lewis now.
01:21:38You can introduce us.
01:21:39Let's go.
01:21:39Yeah.
01:21:42Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:21:43I'm Amber Smith.
01:21:44We spoke on the phone
01:21:45the other day.
01:21:46This is Ben Harrison
01:21:47from Harrison Group.
01:21:48How do you do?
01:21:49We're the company that...
01:21:50Yes, I know who you are.
01:21:52Miss Smith,
01:21:52you're the one
01:21:53who exposed Laura's
01:21:54little drama.
01:21:55Now, look,
01:21:56I'm not here
01:21:56for idle chatter.
01:22:02Good evening,
01:22:03ladies and gentlemen.
01:22:03Could I ask you all
01:22:04to be seated, please?
01:22:08The moment
01:22:09you've all been waiting for.
01:22:11Tonight marks
01:22:12a new chapter
01:22:12in the life
01:22:13of the Lewis Group.
01:22:15A night where
01:22:15the rightful heir
01:22:16takes their place.
01:22:18Would you please
01:22:18join me
01:22:19in welcoming
01:22:20the heir to the Lewis Group,
01:22:22Miss Laura Lewis.
01:22:23Look, everybody,
01:22:25attention.
01:22:26Attention, please.
01:22:28There's been
01:22:29a recent development
01:22:31of some tragedy.
01:22:34I just got noticed
01:22:35from a phone call
01:22:36a couple of minutes ago
01:22:37that Laura
01:22:38has been in a car accident.
01:22:41And, tragically,
01:22:42she hasn't made it.
01:22:44She has not survived.
01:22:48What?
01:22:49Laura Lewis is dead?
01:22:51It doesn't matter now.
01:22:52She's gone.
01:22:53Mr. Lewis,
01:22:54is this new...
01:22:55A tragic turn of events,
01:22:56Mr. Yates.
01:22:58But rest assured,
01:22:59the Lewis Group
01:22:59will continue
01:23:00under my competent leadership.
01:23:04Hold on!
01:23:05Who said that I'm dead?
01:23:09Laura!
01:23:14I don't understand.
01:23:15What's happening?
01:23:17Laura?
01:23:18But,
01:23:19weren't you...
01:23:20My apologies
01:23:21for the delay,
01:23:22everyone,
01:23:23there seems to be some
01:23:25misunderstanding.
01:23:27Laura,
01:23:27what are you doing here?
01:23:28You've got to stop this.
01:23:29If you upset the Lewis family anymore,
01:23:31we're all doomed.
01:23:32I'll say this once.
01:23:33Back off, Ben.
01:23:34Let's go.
01:23:39Thank you
01:23:40for coming, everyone.
01:23:42As I'm sure you know,
01:23:43tonight,
01:23:44tonight,
01:23:46I officially
01:23:46reclaim
01:23:47my title
01:23:48as the CEO
01:23:50of Lewis Group.
01:23:54Perhaps
01:23:54you
01:23:56could make some room for me,
01:23:57Uncle Ian.
01:23:58Impossible.
01:24:00How are you still alive?
01:24:01Well,
01:24:02clearly I am alive
01:24:03and well,
01:24:04so
01:24:04why don't we get this started?
01:24:06No.
01:24:07You're not
01:24:07the rightful heir.
01:24:09You gave that away
01:24:10when you married
01:24:11Ben Harrison.
01:24:13Uncle Ian,
01:24:14is that seriously
01:24:15your argument
01:24:15that you have
01:24:16that I got married
01:24:17too quickly?
01:24:18Well,
01:24:19you went off to Maplewood
01:24:20three years ago
01:24:21and married a stranger
01:24:22and left me
01:24:23to work tirelessly
01:24:24keeping the company together.
01:24:26Uncle Ian,
01:24:27retire.
01:24:28Enjoy
01:24:29your retirement.
01:24:31Lewis Group
01:24:31will be perfectly fine
01:24:33without you.
01:24:33No.
01:24:34There can only be
01:24:35one heir
01:24:36and that's me.
01:24:38And the rightful heir
01:24:39has possession
01:24:40of this.
01:24:42You think a ring
01:24:44makes an heir?
01:24:45You're even more foolish
01:24:46than I could have
01:24:47ever imagined.
01:24:49Give that back to me.
01:24:51This?
01:24:52Yes.
01:24:53You think some
01:24:54shiny gold thing
01:24:55makes you the heir?
01:24:57Give it back.
01:24:58True leadership
01:25:00is about
01:25:01earning
01:25:02the respect
01:25:03of those around you.
01:25:05Not some stupid ring.
01:25:08My ring?
01:25:09What have you done?
01:25:10Where is it?
01:25:13My ring?
01:25:14Oh.
01:25:15Now,
01:25:16everyone,
01:25:16if I could have
01:25:17your attention.
01:25:18How dare you?
01:25:19Let me show you
01:25:20how a true
01:25:21heir
01:25:22earns a ring like that.
01:25:24Talk
01:25:27or face the consequences.
01:25:29Fine.
01:25:30It was Ian Lewis.
01:25:32He said he'd help
01:25:33drinking distress
01:25:34if I kept you away
01:25:35from the bankers today.
01:25:36Oh,
01:25:36quite the spectacle,
01:25:40Mr. Lewis.
01:25:42Security,
01:25:43escort him out.
01:25:45And Ian,
01:25:46don't fall over.
01:25:47It's all lies.
01:25:48It's all lies.
01:25:49Fakery.
01:25:49The proof is clear.
01:25:51Get him out of here.
01:25:52Now.
01:25:54I owe all of you
01:25:57an apology
01:25:58for everything
01:25:59that's happened tonight.
01:26:01Turns out,
01:26:01reclaiming my birthright
01:26:03didn't go as smoothly
01:26:04as I had hoped.
01:26:07Luckily,
01:26:08these past few days,
01:26:09I've had
01:26:10Mr. Shepherd
01:26:12by my side.
01:26:14And he has been
01:26:15a great support.
01:26:18Lewis Group
01:26:19has a lot of exciting plans
01:26:21for Maplewood.
01:26:24I'm proud to announce
01:26:25that we have secured
01:26:27a reliable partner.
01:26:32Shepherd Group.
01:26:33What?
01:26:34Laura, hold on.
01:26:35This was never my idea.
01:26:38This was all
01:26:38Cathy and Amber's fault.
01:26:39I don't want a divorce.
01:26:41What?
01:26:41Then what are you saying?
01:26:42You came to me first.
01:26:44Classic Ben.
01:26:45Something goes wrong
01:26:46and you start
01:26:47pointing the fingers
01:26:48at all the women
01:26:49in your life.
01:26:50Just don't
01:26:51shut Harrison Group out.
01:26:52Just give me another chance.
01:26:54How could I shut you out?
01:26:56I'm just a cleaner,
01:26:57remember?
01:26:58I'm just a useless
01:26:59housewife.
01:27:01I don't have that power.
01:27:04What are you talking about?
01:27:05What?
01:27:05No, come on.
01:27:06Sorry.
01:27:06No, please, no.
01:27:07Um, Mr. Shepard?
01:27:11Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:27:13I was wondering if
01:27:14maybe you wanted
01:27:17to grab dinner
01:27:18sometime
01:27:19on me.
01:27:23Miss Lewis,
01:27:25I would love to.
01:27:37Bye.
