00:00:00Ryan.

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 Shepardview might be bankrupt by lunchtime.

00:00:47Hey, this is a privacy thing.

00:00:49Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on a 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 shoring is him.

00:01:25It's failing!

00:01:26The price is holding!

00:01:29Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.

00:01:36We met before.

00:01:38They'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?

00:01:55Can we have fun?

00:01:56Now?

00:01:57Mr. Yates?

00:01:58What?

00:01:59Only two bodyguards this time?

00:02:00You're not going soft on me, are you?

00:02:01No, ma'am.

00:02:02I just thought you might like discreet today.

00:02:03Now, listen.

00:02:04Everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.

00:02:05Oh, Mr. Yates, you know that my investigation has failed.

00:02:06What?

00:02:07What?

00:02:08What?

00:02:09What?

00:02:10What?

00:02:11What?

00:02:12What?

00:02:13What?

00:02:14What?

00:02:15What?

00:02:16What?

00:02:17What?

00:02:18What?

00:02:19What?

00:02:20What?

00:02:21What?

00:02:22What?

00:02:23What?

00:02:24What?

00:02:25What?

00:02:26What?

00:02:27What?

00:02:28What?

00:02:29My investigations here aren't finished.

00:02:31Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've

00:02:36married this Ben Harrison fellow.

00:02:37Look, today is Ben's birthday.

00:02:40Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.

00:02:43Ma'am, it 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 favor and let Toby walk you up to the house, for my sake.

00:02:58For my sake.

00:03:08Divorce papers.

00:03:09Sign it.

00:03:16Why?

00:03:17You 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.

00:03:35I need a wife who reflects my status.

00:03:37I secured that $100 million contract.

00:03:40Are you?

00:03:41A cleaning woman?

00:03:42Handing out million dollar deals?

00:03:45Don't make me laugh.

00:03:47I did!

00:03:50It 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.

00:04:03Amber's family is practically local royalty.

00:04:06Local royalty.

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

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

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

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

00:04:20What's going on?

00:04:23Is this why you want a divorce?

00:04:26Because of her?

00:04:27Oh, please.

00:04:28I've spent years building Harrison Group.

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

00:04:32We just grew apart, that's all.

00:04:34Grown apart?

00:04:37No.

00:04:39No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.

00:04:44I won't sign anything.

00:04:47Huh.

00:04:48Money is a motivator, isn't it?

00:04:51Ben.

00:04:52Alright.

00:04:53Here.

00:04:54A hundred thousand dollars.

00:04:55Open up a small shop or something like that.

00:04:58A hundred thousand dollars?

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

00:05:05Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?

00:05:08Don't be ridiculous.

00:05:10You've never done anything for Ben's success.

00:05:13This is our act of charity to overcome.

00:05:15Here.

00:05:16Here.

00:05:17A million dollars.

00:05:18Take 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 since none of you respect me.

00:05:34A cleaning lady, threatening us?

00:05:37I'm so scared.

00:05:39Just leave.

00:05:40You already make this house stink.

00:05:42Make up she's gone.

00:05:43Go to written store.

00:05:44Sir?

00:05:45Laura Lewis's information.

00:05:46She's Ben Harrison's wife.

00:05:47No wonder why she wanted to partner with Ben.

00:05:48Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.

00:05:49Divorced her?

00:05:50Wait a minute.

00:05:51Don't you remember?

00:05:52Don't you remember?

00:05:53Don't you remember?

00:05:54She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.

00:05:55Yeah.

00:05:56She saved our hiding there.

00:05:57Remember?

00:05:58Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?

00:06:01Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?

00:06:02I don't know.

00:06:07I?

00:06:07She asked Ben Harrison's wife.

00:06:10No wonder why she wanted to partner with him.

00:06:12No wonder why she wanted to partner with you.

00:06:13Want to partner with Ben.

00:06:14Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.

00:06:16Divorced her?

00:06:17Wait a minute.

00:06:18Don't you remember?

00:06:19Don't you remember?

00:06:20She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract.

00:06:21Three years ago.

00:06:22Yeah.

00:06:23She saved our hiding there.

00:06:24Remember?

00:06:25Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?

00:06:28I don't know.

00:06:31Let's get to the bottom of this.

00:06:35Hey! What are you doing? Let go of me!

00:06:38You attacked Amber! Apologize this instant!

00:06:44Stealing from the Harrisons.

00:06:46We gave you a generous divorce settlement, you refused it, and now you're stealing!

00:06:50She couldn't afford it. You're a thief!

00:06:53That's mine! Give it back!

00:07:01That's enough!

00:07:04Laura?

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. You see, it's...

00:07:16Who are you, Boar's new squeeze?

00:07:19Excuse me, do you know who I am?

00:07:21Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son? Shame on you!

00:07:26Mr. Shepard, I...

00:07:27For your information, my name is Brian Shepard. I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.

00:07:33Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.

00:07:37You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?

00:07:40That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.

00:07:45That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that. My ring.

00:07:50Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.

00:07:52Oh, hey, what are you doing?

00:07:56Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.

00:07:59Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?

00:08:03It's alright, ma'am. This is none of your business.

00:08:06All rabbed dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on.

00:08:11We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.

00:08:15Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. Now go back.

00:08:19What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie!

00:08:23Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura. You come back here and explain yourself.

00:08:27Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.

00:08:31Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?

00:08:36Let's just say that... Ben underestimated me.

00:08:40I don't feel good about going through the signing event. After how they treated you. Maybe we should cancel it?

00:08:48No! Um... No, the event will proceed. Besides, I'll be there.

00:08:56There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura. Who are you, truly?

00:09:03You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.

00:09:07Um, can you pull up over here, please?

00:09:13Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners and we're gonna have a meeting.

00:09:21An investment meeting, one week from today.

00:09:26Make sure everyone is there.

00:09:30Because after that meeting, I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.

00:09:36Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis. I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.

00:09:41Ben Harrison, you're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.

00:09:49After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.

00:09:59Only after then, my darling, we can get married.

00:10:02Laura, what are you doing here?

00:10:04Security!

00:10:05Get that woman out of here!

00:10:07We don't need cleaners at this event!

00:10:09Why wouldn't I be here?

00:10:11This is a business event, after all.

00:10:13Business?

00:10:14You wouldn't know business if it hit you on the head.

00:10:17A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.

00:10:20Just get out!

00:10:21Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.

00:10:24You should've taken my $100,000 offer.

00:10:27Oh, Ben.

00:10:28Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?

00:10:31Laura, this is really important for me.

00:10:34Do not ruin this, okay?

00:10:35You don't belong here.

00:10:37Just get out!

00:10:39Oh.

00:10:40That's what you get.

00:10:45This contract is mine to give or take away as I see it.

00:10:57Don't be ridiculous!

00:10:58This is insane!

00:10:59Who do you think you are?

00:11:00Yeah, put that down.

00:11:01You have no idea what you're doing.

00:11:03Security!

00:11:04She's lost a mind!

00:11:06This is a disaster!

00:11:07Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,

00:11:12but since you clearly don't deserve it...

00:11:35Laura?

00:11:37I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.

00:11:40It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.

00:11:46You see, it's...

00:11:48Laura's new squeeze.

00:12:29Now.

00:12:30Hold on a minute, Laura.

00:12:31Who the heck is this matter?

00:12:33Have you been sneaking around?

00:12:35It's alright, ma'am.

00:12:36This is none of your business.

00:12:38All brown dead bodies.

00:15:35Security!

00:15:36She's lost a mind!

00:15:37This is a disaster!

00:15:39Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,

00:15:43but since you clearly don't deserve it...

00:15:46You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help?

00:15:48You're so silly, Lord.

00:15:49You don't deserve it?

00:15:50You don't deserve it?

00:15:51Oh.

00:15:52Oh.

00:15:53Oh.

00:15:54Oh.

00:15:55Oh.

00:15:56Oh.

00:16:06Oh.

00:16:07Oh.

00:16:08Oh.

00:16:09Oh.

00:16:10Oh.

00:16:11Oh.

00:16:12Oh.

00:16:13Oh.

00:16:14Oh.

00:16:15Oh.

00:16:16Oh, please, honey.

00:16:17You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.

00:16:20Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.

00:16:23I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.

00:16:27And after careful consideration,

00:16:31I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.

00:16:35You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?

00:16:40You have no authority here.

00:16:42Of course she has the authority.

00:16:46Oh.

00:16:47Oh.

00:16:48That's the man that Laura went with the other day.

00:16:52What is he doing here?

00:16:53Mr. Shepard?

00:16:54How does he know her?

00:16:55Is that really Brian Shepard?

00:16:57Laura, are you alright?

00:16:59Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.

00:17:04There must be some sort of misunderstanding.

00:17:06There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.

00:17:09This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.

00:17:13Effective immediately.

00:17:15Wait a minute.

00:17:16This contract, I thought you said you got it.

00:17:19It's her.

00:17:20She ruined the contract.

00:17:22You are his mistress, aren't you?

00:17:24An affair?

00:17:25She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?

00:17:30Mom, please, it's okay.

00:17:31This man is-

00:17:32Don't touch me.

00:17:33That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair and you just stand there?

00:17:38You're a disgrace.

00:17:39An adulterer.

00:17:40You deserve to be arrested.

00:17:41Shut up!

00:17:42Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you this woman has tricked you.

00:17:51Tricked?

00:17:52Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?

00:17:57What was my name before we got married?

00:18:01Laura Lewis, right?

00:18:03Lewis Group?

00:18:04The Financial Giants?

00:18:06There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.

00:18:10That's crazy.

00:18:12There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.

00:18:15That's absurd.

00:18:16It's- it's- it's absurd!

00:18:20A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.

00:18:24Yeah, yeah, it's a lie.

00:18:26It's a lie.

00:18:27This woman was a waitress when I met her.

00:18:28In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.

00:18:31She's nothing special.

00:18:33She only married me out of gratitude.

00:18:35I was just a waitress.

00:18:38How convenient for your story, Ben.

00:18:41First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.

00:18:44Okay, listen up, everybody.

00:18:45When I met her, I'd only just started my business.

00:18:48Mm-hmm.

00:18:49Now look at me.

00:18:50I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.

00:18:52And look at her.

00:18:53Still just a cleaner.

00:18:54Mr. Shepherd, that woman is my son's ex-wife.

00:18:59She's doing all this out of spite.

00:19:01She's lying, Mr. Shepherd.

00:19:03She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?

00:19:06Let's make something clear.

00:19:11I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.

00:19:15I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.

00:19:21Don't lie.

00:19:22You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.

00:19:25Oops.

00:19:26That roof was built with lies.

00:19:29Kathy, you never respected me.

00:19:31And Ben?

00:19:32Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.

00:19:36And the cheating.

00:19:38I think you're blaming the wrong person.

00:19:41You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.

00:19:46If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy.

00:19:53Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.

00:19:56From everything.

00:20:02Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:20:03Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?

00:20:06And then just walk out like nothing happened?

00:20:08I don't think so.

00:20:09You're a cleaner.

00:20:10You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.

00:20:12Nobody cares about you.

00:20:14Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.

00:20:19I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.

00:20:27I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.

00:20:29I think all jobs are important.

00:20:31Right, Mom?

00:20:32Ben, what are you doing?

00:20:34But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.

00:20:39A janitor.

00:20:40Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?

00:20:49You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?

00:20:54Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.

00:20:57This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.

00:21:01I... but, well...

00:21:03A lie, you say?

00:21:05Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.

00:21:09But I don't recognize you.

00:21:11Is this true, Miss Smith?

00:21:13Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.

00:21:18This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.

00:21:22But the contract...

00:21:24I mean, Laura tore it up.

00:21:26So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?

00:21:30Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.

00:21:33Perhaps you haven't been paying attention.

00:21:35Without Miss Lewis involvement, I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.

00:21:44Today, I want to make it clear.

00:21:47Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.

00:21:54Miss Smith, you lied to us.

00:21:56You destroyed everything.

00:21:58What?

00:21:59No, it's a misunderstanding.

00:22:00I can explain.

00:22:02Lewis?

00:22:03Lewis Family Group?

00:22:05This can't be.

00:22:06Believe what you want, Ben.

00:22:08Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.

00:22:13Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.

00:22:18And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.

00:22:25Everyone, listen to me.

00:22:27Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison Group.

00:22:31A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.

00:22:38The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.

00:22:41Everyone here deserves to see the truth.

00:22:46Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?

00:22:54Someone get a doctor.

00:22:56Help!

00:22:57Mom!

00:22:58Someone get a doctor!

00:22:59Mom!

00:23:00It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.

00:23:06Indeed.

00:23:07Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.

00:23:10What?

00:23:11What now?

00:23:12Mom.

00:23:13This is not all on me.

00:23:14Not on you!

00:23:15I was trying to help.

00:23:16She cheated on you with Shepard.

00:23:17Flaunted their affair.

00:23:18Exactly.

00:23:19And those dresses?

00:23:20Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?

00:23:21Miss Smith.

00:23:22How could you do this?

00:23:23We trusted you completely.

00:23:24What?

00:23:25No, no, no.

00:23:26I got Ben the deal.

00:23:27I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.

00:23:28She's a liar.

00:23:29No, no.

00:23:30I got Ben the deal.

00:23:31I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.

00:23:32She's a liar.

00:23:33Oh, stop it, Amber.

00:23:34You lied to us just as much as she did.

00:23:35Lied?

00:23:36You're on my side.

00:23:37And anyways, I have a plan.

00:23:38The Shepards are no one special.

00:23:40Oh, a nice difference.

00:23:41You lied to us just as much as she did.

00:23:42Lied?

00:23:43You're on my side.

00:23:44And anyways, I have a plan.

00:23:45The Shepard's are no one special.

00:23:46Oh, no, don't worry about it.

00:23:47I'm happy about that.

00:23:48You're not the one special.

00:23:49Wait about those things?

00:23:50Yes, no.

00:23:51You're the one special.

00:23:52It's fine.

00:23:53That's fine.

00:23:54You don't need to help.

00:23:55You're the one chocolat.

00:23:56That's fine.

00:23:57And I'll do that.

00:23:58It's fine.

00:23:59Sir, look?

00:24:00The shepherds are no one special. We can expose Laura and all her lies, go

00:24:06national. We can make ourselves a household name. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a

00:24:14very important phone call to make.

00:24:19Thank you so much for tonight Mr. Shepherd. Thank you as well for standing up for me.

00:24:25It's all right Laura, you deserve the credit for all your hard work. Can I ask

00:24:29you something? Do you have any place to stay tonight? Maybe a hotel? Don't worry

00:24:34about me Mr. Shepherd, I'll be fine. Excuse me, you can just drop me off.

00:24:39Actually Laura, actually, Laura, there is something else. Would you consider

00:24:45go out for dinner sometime? Just casually of course. Mr. Shepherd, are you asking me out?

00:24:52Please, call me Brian. And yes, technically you're single now.

00:24:59Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.

00:25:09Proper? Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.

00:25:16Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength. Those are qualities I truly admire.

00:25:23So what do you say? Dinner? Just two people getting to know each other.

00:25:30I'm sorry Mr. Shepherd, I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't.

00:25:39Wait, Laura. Just here is fine.

00:25:42Laura? Laura, who is it? Laura, wait! Jason, find out who owns that car and do it fast.

00:26:00Ian Lewis, who is this?

00:26:07It's Amber Smith.

00:26:09Mr. Lewis, I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.

00:26:15I don't know who you are, Miss Smith. How did you get this number?

00:26:20Don't worry about that right now. I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis. Someone I know very well.

00:26:27Impersonating my niece? And where is this fake Laura?

00:26:34Right here in Maplewood. And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.

00:26:39Well, what is she doing exactly? And more to the point, what do you want from me?

00:26:47In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right? I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.

00:26:55All will be revealed then.

00:26:57Very well. I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting. But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...

00:27:04It won't be. Trust me, Mr. Lewis. Thank you, Mr.

00:27:10That little rascal, Laura. I wonder what she's up to now.

00:27:23That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubler.

00:27:27Oh. The Lewis family? That's interesting. Could she be connected to them somehow?

00:27:36I'm not sure.

00:27:40Brian! There you are. I've missed you.

00:27:43Chloe.

00:27:45What are you up to?

00:27:46Chloe, what are you doing here?

00:27:48What do you mean? Can't I visit the man I love?

00:27:52We ended things for a reason.

00:27:54It was just one teensy mistake. I was... I was a little bit tipsy. Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?

00:28:01It's a mistake you said. You cheated on me.

00:28:09Is this your new fling? Ex-divorcey. Used to clean floors. Quite the catch, aren't you saying?

00:28:16Look. My relationship with her is none of your business. And don't you dare talk about her like that.

00:28:24Please. An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman. It's a classic story.

00:28:31That's enough. I'll get the hell out of my office.

00:28:35You want to be careful, Brian. Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.

00:28:40If you want Shepherd Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.

00:28:46Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.

00:28:56This is it. The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor. Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.

00:29:05I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.

00:29:09Well, well, well. Look who it is. What a surprise. Did Brian do to you already? That's none of your business.

00:29:20Now move aside, please.

00:29:21Laura? Just what do you think you're doing, you street rat? You really think you can just ruin my events again? Haven't you ruined my life enough? Don't you have any shame?

00:29:28If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.

00:29:33Oh, the nerve. After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?

00:29:39Seriously? I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.

00:29:44Oh, that's gold. You really think that they're gonna let you in, Laura? Please, you're no one compared to me.

00:29:51You don't deserve to be here.

00:29:53The only ones who don't belong here are you three. And you, idiot, believing every lie that she tells you. Wake up, Ben.

00:30:03Oh, Laura. Laura, come on. Why do you always pull this on me? I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once? I know what this is.

00:30:14So stupid.

00:30:16Oh, shut your trap. Amber spoke directly with the CEO. He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.

00:30:24Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.

00:30:27And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.

00:30:31Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this.

00:30:41Oh, that's rich.

00:30:42You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me. I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.

00:30:49Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?

00:30:52You mean my uncle? Ian, don't be ridiculous.

00:30:58Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.

00:31:02And besides, this looks fake. She's a liar.

00:31:07This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.

00:31:13It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.

00:31:17She's lying. They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.

00:31:23Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?

00:31:28Not that I know of.

00:31:30See? She's lying.

00:31:32There you have it, Laura. Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.

00:31:36Go on, get lost before things get worse.

00:31:41Here, take this one. Lead me to the vice president's.

00:31:44You have no idea what you just did.

00:31:49There be consequences.

00:31:53Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,

00:31:59why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?

00:32:03Security! 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.

00:32:11Ma'am, please move...

00:32:12What?!

00:32:13Hold on!

00:32:15Brian Shepard?

00:32:18You 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?

00:32:25What other plans do you have to destroy this time?

00:32:27Get you out? After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.

00:32:32Don't play dumb. We know exactly what's been happening here.

00:32:35How long has this little affair been going on?

00:32:38You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.

00:32:41Hold on a second. An affair?

00:32:44You think Laura and I...

00:32:46You people are unbelievable.

00:32:50Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP. We have a situation.

00:32:54What, you think you can just boss the manager around now? Is that it?

00:32:58Well, stick around and watch you crash and burn.

00:33:01Ms. Lewis, apologies for the delay. How can I help you this evening?

00:33:04Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.

00:33:08It seems there's a misunderstanding.

00:33:11These people don't think that I belong here.

00:33:14Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.

00:33:17A cleaner? Nonsense.

00:33:19I personally greeted Ms. Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.

00:33:23Exactly.

00:33:25Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.

00:33:32I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.

00:33:36No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.

00:33:40She's been this way since my son divorced her. She's insane.

00:33:44Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.

00:33:48She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.

00:33:51No! It's a lie! Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too!

00:33:58You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.

00:34:05Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?

00:34:08Wait! Is that why you're covering for her? Huh? Because of the affair? Because she slept with you?

00:34:13Excuse me! Who are you and how dare you speak to Ms. Lewis that way?

00:34:17Enough of this! She's right!

00:34:18That's enough! Heaven here embarrass yourself enough!

00:34:21This is Lewis Group property. Behave or I'll call security!

00:34:25But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access! She shouldn't be here.

00:34:29Since you're having trouble understanding Ben, let me make it clear.

00:34:35This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.

00:34:39It's mine to come or go as I please.

00:34:43Thank you for stepping in, Brian. I owe you one. We'll talk about this later.

00:34:53Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harrison.

00:34:58I think so.

00:35:05Come in!

00:35:07Excuse me, Vice Presidents.

00:35:10I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.

00:35:15I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today?

00:35:18Maplewood Branch.

00:35:20Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Ms. Smith.

00:35:25Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?

00:35:28Ian Lewis, Mr. Lewis, reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.

00:35:38Expansion plans?

00:35:40Ms. Smith, a decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.

00:35:45And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.

00:35:49But Ian Lewis assured me that...

00:35:53Ms. Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.

00:35:55Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.

00:35:59Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...

00:36:02Ms. Smith, we'd like you to leave.

00:36:04If you don't, we'll call security.

00:36:05Hey, stop there. This elevator is for VIP only. Back, please.

00:36:16Of course. My apologies.

00:36:17Laura?

00:36:27Vice-presidents! It's so good to see all of you again.

00:36:30Ms. Lewis, it's been too long.

00:36:34Your return is a lifesaver, Ms. Lewis.

00:36:37The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.

00:36:42The board are begging you to come back, Ms. Lewis.

00:36:47Well, please sit. Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.

00:36:54We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.

00:36:59Local powerhouses and smaller players, too. They'll all be there in one spot.

00:37:04Ms. Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith. She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.

00:37:17She said that. Did she?

00:37:19Well, Ms. Smith is a liar. There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.

00:37:24She lied so blatantly. It's unbelievable.

00:37:27Well, don't worry. I found a much more suitable partner.

00:37:31Shepard Group.

00:37:35Shepard Group? Their rise to a public company has been impressive.

00:37:39Do you have anything to do with that?

00:37:42So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?

00:37:46Oh, don't worry about Amber.

00:37:50I've got plans for her.

00:37:52Ms. Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the meeting. From us.

00:38:03Cheers.

00:38:04Cheers.

00:38:06You too. Go.

00:38:11No, I'm not leaving. What are you talking about? No, come on.

00:38:13Wait! I'm Amber Smith. I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch. What are you doing? These are my kids.

00:38:15Yeah, that's right. Tell them who we are.

00:38:17Yes, we were waiting for Ms. Smith.

00:38:19Lewis Group, Maplewood branch? No such thing, ma'am. And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.

00:38:21Oh, of course. Laura. She's probably sleeping with the manager as well. That's how she gets away with everything.

00:38:24You underestimate her, Cathy. She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents. No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.

00:38:32Careful with your words. Both of you. Acquisitions like that can get involved.

00:38:38You'll never be a girl like that. You'll never be a girl like that.

00:38:41No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.

00:38:45Careful with your words. Both of you. Acquisitions like that can get involved.

00:38:48You'll never be a girl like you're in a hotel like this.

00:38:50Careful with your words. Both of you. Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.

00:38:54Look who can't even get into a meeting. Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.

00:39:02And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.

00:39:06Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.

00:39:09Used me? Unlike some people. I don't mind being helpful.

00:39:13You're so stupid. She threw you away like yesterday's trash.

00:39:17Don't worry Brian. You deserve better. And let's not forget.

00:39:22I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.

00:39:25Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.

00:39:29New branch manager, huh? Interesting.

00:39:33Laura Lewis? What are you doing here? Get out of here!

00:39:37You claim to be the mystery guest.

00:39:40Don't play games, Laura. I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.

00:39:45Only the top companies get those. Looks like you're all out of luck.

00:39:50Is that so?

00:39:52Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.

00:39:56You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.

00:40:02And I decide who goes to the meetings.

00:40:04Escort them out. What?

00:40:08Their visit is over.

00:40:10Oh, come on. This way, please.

00:40:13I'm not leaving.

00:40:15Move. We're not leaving again. Move.

00:40:17Oh, no, no, no. We're not going now.

00:40:19Okay, fine, fine.

00:40:21This isn't over, Laura. You'll see.

00:40:22Thanks for waiting, man.

00:40:27Laura, I'm glad you're okay.

00:40:31And thank you for defending me. I really appreciate it.

00:40:39Um, are you coming to the meeting?

00:40:42Yes, but it's going to be tricky.

00:40:49Why? I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.

00:40:55Yes, Laura.

00:40:59There's something you should know.

00:41:01Is this about Ben?

00:41:04Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.

00:41:08He won't even get past security.

00:41:11Laura, it's not Ben.

00:41:15It's someone else.

00:41:18Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?

00:41:23Yes.

00:41:25Her name is Chloe Duke.

00:41:28She is daughter of the Duke family.

00:41:30She's my ex-fiancee.

00:41:35And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.

00:41:40And...

00:41:43Let's just say we didn't end things so well.

00:41:47And for some reason,

00:41:49she's having a hard time moving on.

00:41:52And...

00:41:54You think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting?

00:41:58For...

00:42:02Out of...

00:42:04Jealousy?

00:42:06There's a possibility.

00:42:07She's kind of jealous.

00:42:09Well...

00:42:11All the more reason for you to be there.

00:42:14Besides...

00:42:16I'll be there too.

00:42:19Laura...

00:42:22Would you consider being my guest at the meeting?

00:42:25What?

00:42:27Are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too?

00:42:31Maybe a little.

00:42:33But mostly...

00:42:35I want to show them we're a team.

00:42:37Well...

00:42:38It's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.

00:42:42Laura...

00:42:43I don't care about your best.

00:42:49I just want to be by your side.

00:42:52I think I'm falling for you.

00:42:57Brian...

00:42:58I...

00:43:03I...

00:43:04I appreciate your honesty and...

00:43:07Right now...

00:43:08I...

00:43:09I'm just not...

00:43:10I...

00:43:11I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.

00:43:14Just with...

00:43:15With everything going on...

00:43:17And...

00:43:18Going on and...

00:43:19It's okay.

00:43:20I just want to be upfront.

00:43:22And if Chloe tries anything...

00:43:25You won't face her alone.

00:43:30There's just...

00:43:31One thing...

00:43:32I do need.

00:43:34What is it?

00:43:36A formal dress.

00:43:37Uh...

00:43:38Security!

00:43:39She doesn't belong here.

00:43:40This is a private store.

00:43:41Excuse me.

00:43:42We...

00:43:43Need some assistance.

00:43:44I'm looking for...

00:43:45A very particular dress.

00:43:46Wow.

00:43:47It's...

00:43:48Beautiful.

00:43:49Mm-hmm.

00:43:50It is.

00:43:51I'll try this.

00:43:52I'm looking for a very particular dress.

00:43:53Wow.

00:43:54It's...

00:43:55Beautiful.

00:43:56Mm-hmm.

00:43:57It is.

00:43:58I'll try this.

00:43:59I'm looking for a very particular dress.

00:44:00Mm-hmm.

00:44:01Wow.

00:44:02It's...

00:44:03Beautiful.

00:44:04Mm-hmm.

00:44:05It is.

00:44:06I'll try this one on.

00:44:07Uh...

00:44:08Don't bother with her.

00:44:09She can't afford anything here.

00:44:11She's just a cleaner.

00:44:12She doesn't deserve to shop here.

00:44:14She has no money.

00:44:17Yeah, exactly.

00:44:18I mean, what are you doing here?

00:44:19Can't you just leave me alone?

00:44:20I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared.

00:44:23I'm here for retail therapy.

00:44:26Oh, please.

00:44:27This store is for the A-list only.

00:44:29Mm-hmm.

00:44:30Not some cheapskate like you.

00:44:31Says the woman who barged into my marriage.

00:44:34Hey.

00:44:35Show some respect.

00:44:36Oh, wow.

00:44:37Typical Laura.

00:44:38Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.

00:44:41I would have asked you, but without me, I'm sure you're already broke.

00:44:45Oh, please.

00:44:46Come on.

00:44:47We'll take the dress.

00:44:48Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.

00:44:51Uh, what do you mean you don't sell it?

00:44:53I want it.

00:44:54Name your price.

00:44:55It's not about the price, ma'am.

00:44:57This one was custom made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress.

00:45:01The entire brand belongs to her.

00:45:03This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.

00:45:07It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.

00:45:10What are you talking about?

00:45:11Of course it would suit her.

00:45:12It'd fit her just fine.

00:45:13And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.

00:45:17Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.

00:45:21Okay.

00:45:25Oh, please.

00:45:26Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?

00:45:28We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.

00:45:31Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.

00:45:33You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.

00:45:36Could you please tell me more about this dress?

00:45:39Of course.

00:45:40Uh, it was custom made for Laura Lewis, heiress to the Lewis Group fortune.

00:45:46Hand stitched in Italy, naturally.

00:45:48Uh, apparently there are many more like it.

00:45:50It displayed in high-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.

00:45:56Laura, do you like this dress?

00:45:59Of course.

00:46:00It's custom made for me.

00:46:03I'm just here to take what's already mine.

00:46:05Oh, you can't be serious.

00:46:07There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.

00:46:10Fine, fine.

00:46:11If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?

00:46:14It would look incredible on me.

00:46:16Miss, this dress is very delicate.

00:46:19If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.

00:46:24Are you calling me fat?

00:46:25Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand?

00:46:30How's that sound?

00:46:31Sir, are you serious?

00:46:32You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?

00:46:37This brand is worth at least 50 million dollars.

00:46:40And to buy it for a waitress?

00:46:43Are you out of your mind?

00:46:44Yes.

00:46:45You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.

00:46:48Just one second.

00:46:52Yes, this is Brian Shepherd, CEO of Shepherd Group.

00:46:55I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.

00:46:58I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.

00:47:04What?

00:47:07Sorry, sir.

00:47:08That brand is not for sale.

00:47:10You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.

00:47:16Mr. Yates, yes, this is Laura Lewis.

00:47:20I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to...

00:47:24to Shepherd Group.

00:47:26Oh, come on.

00:47:27Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.

00:47:31Exactly.

00:47:32Come on, this is pathetic.

00:47:33You really think this is going to work?

00:47:34It's sad.

00:47:35Excellent.

00:47:36Thank you, Mr. Yates, that's all.

00:47:45Yes?

00:47:50What?

00:47:51Are you willing to submit the brand?

00:47:53The brand?

00:47:56Awesome.

00:48:01Hello?

00:48:02Yes?

00:48:04Wow.

00:48:05Yes, of course.

00:48:07Absolutely.

00:48:08Mm-hmm.

00:48:11The store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepherd.

00:48:15The Shepherd Group is the new owner.

00:48:17How may I be of service today, sir?

00:48:20Well, Lauren, I don't know much about fashion, so I would like to give this brand to you.

00:48:26You can't be serious.

00:48:28You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.

00:48:30Don't listen to her, Brian.

00:48:32You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.

00:48:36You're not welcome here.

00:48:38I want the two of these out of my store.

00:48:44I want the two of these out of my store.

00:48:46Of course.

00:48:49Oh, come on.

00:48:50Sir?

00:48:51Ma'am?

00:48:52You're afraid I'll have to ask you to leave?

00:48:53Well, we're not leaving.

00:48:54Okay?

00:48:55Hey, hey, hey!

00:48:56This isn't over, Laura!

00:48:58Could I try the dress on now?

00:48:59Of course, Miss Lewis.

00:49:00You just follow me.

00:49:09Wow.

00:49:11Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.

00:49:17Laura, you look breathtaking in this dress.

00:49:21Brian, why would you do all of this for me?

00:49:27Laura.

00:49:30Because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.

00:49:34And that includes this dress.

00:49:39Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?

00:49:43I...

00:49:45I need a moment.

00:49:47Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?

00:49:52Does that mean it could be a yes?

00:49:55Maybe.

00:49:57What?

00:49:58Well, well, well.

00:49:59Look who decided to join the party!

00:50:00Playing dress up again, Laura.

00:50:01One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.

00:50:02And you understand the meaning of Rude.

00:50:03Hi.

00:50:10What?

00:50:13Well, well, well.

00:50:16Look who decided to join the party. Playing dress-up again, Laura?

00:50:20One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.

00:50:23And you understand the meaning of rude.

00:50:25You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?

00:50:28For this. This gold digger.

00:50:31You know, Ben, I really cared about you,

00:50:34even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.

00:50:37I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.

00:50:41Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.

00:50:46Enough! I've had enough of this drama.

00:50:49Yeah, me too.

00:50:51Try that again, and you'll regret it.

00:50:54Now get the hell out of my face.

00:50:56Let's see if you two even make it past the door.

00:50:59Yeah.

00:51:01I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.

00:51:04What? That's impossible.

00:51:07I was invited by the CEO himself.

00:51:10Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group's name is on the list.

00:51:16What?

00:51:17Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.

00:51:20You don't have an invitation. You're just here because of Brian.

00:51:27Let me see this. This doesn't even look real.

00:51:29It's different from mine.

00:51:31Why don't you ask her if it's real?

00:51:36This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.

00:51:39What?

00:51:41Please, right this way.

00:51:42We can continue this discussion later.

00:51:44If you manage to get in.

00:51:50Sir? Madam?

00:51:52We recommend you leave.

00:51:53There you are! How dare you steal my fiancée!

00:52:00There you are! How dare you steal my fiancée!

00:52:05Looks like another relationship bites the dust, Laura.

00:52:08Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours.

00:52:11Get away from him!

00:52:13He's engaged to me!

00:52:14Hey, hey, hey. Hold your horses, Gwen.

00:52:16That ended a long time ago.

00:52:18Engaged to you.

00:52:20Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.

00:52:23Your relationship's history.

00:52:26That was just a little tiff.

00:52:28You really think that could tear us apart?

00:52:31Don't you know who I am?

00:52:33Don't pretend like you don't know.

00:52:35Oh, honey.

00:52:36She don't recognize royalty, let alone a duke.

00:52:39She's just a maid, remember?

00:52:41I don't have time for all this drama.

00:52:45Brian?

00:52:46Let's head inside.

00:52:48Brian!

00:52:49How could you choose this cleaner over me?

00:52:53Are you really gonna humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?

00:52:57There's nothing left to say, Glow.

00:52:58Don't make this a scene.

00:53:00Shall we?

00:53:07You okay, Miss Duke?

00:53:10And you are?

00:53:11Amber Smith.

00:53:12I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.

00:53:15What branch?

00:53:16I've never heard of it.

00:53:17What do you want from me?

00:53:18That Laura!

00:53:20She tore up my invitation.

00:53:21Do you think you can get me inside?

00:53:23What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?

00:53:27Please don't waste my time.

00:53:39If I can't have Brian, neither can you.

00:53:49The Duke family has more influence than you think.

00:53:54Chloe!

00:53:55Good to see you.

00:53:56I've been expecting you.

00:53:57Uncle Jones.

00:53:58How are you?

00:53:59Good.

00:54:00Uncle Jones.

00:54:01Uncle Jones.

00:54:02How are you?

00:54:03Good.

00:54:04I need your help with something.

00:54:05What is it?

00:54:06Anything for my little Chloe.

00:54:07It's Brian.

00:54:08Who's that woman?

00:54:09I thought you were...

00:54:10She's a con woman.

00:54:11She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.

00:54:12What?

00:54:13Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?

00:54:15Well, she's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.

00:54:22What are you planning?

00:54:23I want to destroy Shepard Group.

00:54:24What are you planning?

00:54:25You're planning to call Shepard Group.

00:54:26You're planning to call Shepard Group.

00:54:28You don't know what I am.

00:54:29I need your help with something.

00:54:30What is it?

00:54:31Anything for my little Chloe.

00:54:32It's Brian.

00:54:33Who's that woman?

00:54:34I thought you were...

00:54:35She's a con woman.

00:54:36She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.

00:54:37What?

00:54:38Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?

00:54:39Well, she's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.

00:54:40What are you planning?

00:54:43Destroy Shepard Group.

00:54:47Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.

00:54:52I had no idea she would be so...

00:54:55intense.

00:54:59What do you mean?

00:55:00You so should have taken her up on her offer.

00:55:03I mean, you guys are just...

00:55:06a power couple.

00:55:08I see what you're doing.

00:55:11Power couple, you say?

00:55:12More like a disaster waiting to happen.

00:55:17Anyway, shall we take a seat?

00:55:20Actually, Brian, my seat is...

00:55:24is up there.

00:55:27Really?

00:55:28She doesn't deserve to sit there.

00:55:30Excuse me.

00:55:31This is my VIP invitation.

00:55:34I can sit wherever I like.

00:55:37Hey, what do you think you're doing?

00:55:38This is signed by all three VPs of Loomis Group.

00:55:42Where did you get this?

00:55:45Who did you have to sleep with?

00:55:46That's enough.

00:55:49This is getting us nowhere.

00:55:51Laura is my guest.

00:55:53And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.

00:55:57You got it?

00:55:59Mr. Shepherd, what do you see in that woman?

00:56:04Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.

00:56:06She's from a good family.

00:56:08Beautiful.

00:56:09And successful.

00:56:10What more could you ask for?

00:56:12That's a good question.

00:56:15Not much, actually.

00:56:17Honesty.

00:56:19That's what I want.

00:56:21And love.

00:56:23Things that clearly...

00:56:24Chloe has no idea.

00:56:25I said I was sorry.

00:56:28What more do you want?

00:56:30I've watched Chloe grow up.

00:56:32She's like a daughter to me.

00:56:34I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.

00:56:40One more chance, Brian.

00:56:42Let's forget all this nonsense.

00:56:45Do it, Mrs. Shepherd.

00:56:46Propose.

00:56:47Right here.

00:56:48Right now.

00:56:50Brian?

00:56:51Well, is this how the Duke family handles business deals?

00:56:58By forcing a ring on someone?

00:57:01Do it.

00:57:02Or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.

00:57:06Don't you dare.

00:57:13You're humiliating yourself.

00:57:15How dare you?

00:57:16Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?

00:57:19Yes.

00:57:21I like her.

00:57:24But I can't imagine someone like her interesting in me.

00:57:27The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.

00:57:35Why would you choose someone 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 that there is no investment meeting without me?

00:57:48Interesting turn of events.

00:57:50Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.

00:57:55Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress, Laura Lewis?

00:58:03You know what?

00:58:04Maybe you're right, Chloe.

00:58:06How ridiculous.

00:58:08Is that what you've been telling everyone?

00:58:09I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow, did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?

00:58:21You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.

00:58:23That's enough.

00:58:25You don't get to talk here.

00:58:26You got mad, Shepard.

00:58:27You dare to go against Miss Duke.

00:58:29And the same applies to everyone else here.

00:58:32Anyone who insults Laura.

00:58:35Leave us with a black eye.

00:58:37It's willing to offend the Duke for her.

00:58:38What kind of charm does she have?

00:58:40I want to be careful, Brian.

00:58:42Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.

00:58:46Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?

00:58:50The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not Shepard Group.

00:58:59Lewis Group RS?

00:59:01You?

00:59:02Don't make me laugh.

00:59:05Security, remove these two imposters from the premises.

00:59:08Wait, Uncle Jones.

00:59:10Give Brian another chance.

00:59:12Choose, Brian.

00:59:14Me and the future you deserve.

00:59:16Or this fraud.

00:59:20Chloe.

00:59:21I have everything I ever wanted.

00:59:24Right here.

00:59:26And I wouldn't trade for all the power the Duke's home in Maplewood.

00:59:30Fine.

00:59:30Short the stock of the Shepard Group.

00:59:38What?

00:59:40You forced my hand, Brian.

00:59:43Now Shepard Group is ruined.

00:59:45The Duke family.

00:59:46They can't be serious.

00:59:47Shepard Group is doomed.

00:59:49Brian.

00:59:50You don't have to do this for me.

00:59:52Laura.

00:59:55I will never let anyone bully you.

00:59:58Let alone them.

00:59:59Thank you, Brian, for...

01:00:02For believing in me.

01:00:05For protecting me.

01:00:08Now it's my turn to protect you.

01:00:10Listen carefully.

01:00:19I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.

01:00:22At all costs.

01:00:24Don't let it drop even one cent.

01:00:29Do you understand?

01:00:30Wow.

01:00:32Award winning performance, Laura.

01:00:34But you can't possibly control the stock market.

01:00:37Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?

01:00:42If the Shepard stock holds

01:00:45for the next five minutes

01:00:50you owe me a public apology.

01:00:59Deal.

01:00:59Well, looks like your five minutes is up.

01:01:09Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.

01:01:15What the?

01:01:16The Shepard Group stock prices?

01:01:19It's going up.

01:01:20This can't be happening.

01:01:21It must be a coincidence.

01:01:22Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?

01:01:32There was a huge investment.

01:01:34We couldn't compete.

01:01:35Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.

01:01:38How did you do this?

01:01:40Like I said, Chloe.

01:01:44I'm Laura Lewis.

01:01:46No, you're not.

01:01:47You're just some cleaner.

01:01:49You don't have access to billions.

01:01:50Well, I think it's time for my apology.

01:02:00No.

01:02:01I think it's time for my apology.

01:02:03There is no way I'm apologizing to you.

01:02:06If things were the other way

01:02:07would you be so quick to forgive me, Chloe?

01:02:11The truth is

01:02:12everyone here

01:02:14has seen you be a bully

01:02:17and a coward

01:02:18and now

01:02:20a sore

01:02:22loser.

01:02:24This is so humiliating for her.

01:02:27How did she manage that?

01:02:28Maybe she really is a Lewis.

01:02:31Apologize to Miss Lewis.

01:02:33Shut up.

01:02:34Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.

01:02:37Don't forget

01:02:38the Duke finally owned

01:02:39half of Maplewood.

01:02:41You don't lose that voice.

01:02:42Let's get out of here.

01:02:45Hold on.

01:02:47This

01:02:47is where I belong.

01:02:50And that

01:02:51is my chair.

01:02:54You can't go there.

01:02:55That is the VIP section.

01:02:57Only those invited

01:02:58by the Lewis Group

01:02:59vice presidents

01:03:00get to sit there.

01:03:02Like I said,

01:03:03Chloe,

01:03:04that's my seat.

01:03:05Had a rumor floating

01:03:12around a few days ago.

01:03:14Seems Miss Lewis

01:03:15caused quite a scene

01:03:16at a signing ceremony

01:03:18between her ex

01:03:19and

01:03:20Mr. Shepard.

01:03:21Wasn't it?

01:03:22Are you planning

01:03:23another outburst,

01:03:24Laura?

01:03:25Is this how you charm

01:03:26all your men?

01:03:27Shall we?

01:03:28My pleasure.

01:03:30What are you doing?

01:03:32Let go.

01:03:33It doesn't matter

01:03:34what happened.

01:03:35I choose to stay

01:03:36by Laura's side.

01:03:39Let's go.

01:03:40Don't be absurd.

01:03:42That seat is reserved

01:03:43for a very important

01:03:44guest.

01:03:46Someone so esteemed

01:03:47even the vice presidents

01:03:49have to bow low.

01:03:52And

01:03:52how

01:03:54exactly,

01:03:56Mr. Jones?

01:03:57Are you so sure

01:03:58that I'm

01:03:59not that esteemed

01:04:01guest?

01:04:02Wait,

01:04:02that's Peter Young.

01:04:03Director of Business

01:04:04Affairs at

01:04:04Lewis Group.

01:04:09Ask Peter Young.

01:04:10He decides which

01:04:11investments are they?

01:04:11It's Chloe Duke,

01:04:13Head of Duke Industries.

01:04:14So glad you could join us.

01:04:16Why is everyone

01:04:16standing around?

01:04:17It's her.

01:04:18She's making a huge

01:04:19scene trying to claim

01:04:20the VIP seat.

01:04:22It's embarrassing.

01:04:23That seat's reserved

01:04:24for the Lewis Group

01:04:25VIP guest.

01:04:27Specifically

01:04:27the family heir.

01:04:29Please get off the stage.

01:04:30Oh yes.

01:04:32Mr. Young,

01:04:34was it?

01:04:35I think I remember you.

01:04:36You manage

01:04:37my family's

01:04:38investments.

01:04:40Don't pretend like

01:04:41you know what's going on.

01:04:43Please get off the stage.

01:04:45That seat's reserved

01:04:45for the Lewis family heir.

01:04:47I need to make one thing

01:04:49crystal

01:04:50clear.

01:04:51I

01:04:55am the heir

01:04:57of the Lewis family.

01:05:02This is ridiculous.

01:05:04You,

01:05:05the Lewis heir.

01:05:06Don't you know

01:05:07that Miss Lewis

01:05:07is a legend around here?

01:05:09You must be out of your mind

01:05:10trusting a complete

01:05:11stranger like this.

01:05:12Exactly.

01:05:13We ran a background

01:05:14check on her

01:05:15and it turns out

01:05:16she's just some cleaner

01:05:17that used to work

01:05:18for the Harrison Group.

01:05:19Before that

01:05:20I could see her

01:05:21in my family's supermarket.

01:05:23See Brian?

01:05:24This is who you've been

01:05:25chasing after.

01:05:26A liar and a cheat.

01:05:28Security.

01:05:29Get this imposter

01:05:30out of here.

01:05:31And everyone here

01:05:32is a witness.

01:05:33Why would any of you

01:05:34trust Laura?

01:05:36If any of you

01:05:37dares to harm her

01:05:38you have to go

01:05:40through me first.

01:05:42Brian,

01:05:43she's just a nobody.

01:05:45She's just someone

01:05:46that the Harrison Group

01:05:47ditched.

01:05:48They didn't even want her.

01:05:50What exactly

01:05:50do you see in her?

01:05:52Escort this imposter

01:05:53out of here.

01:05:54Now.

01:05:55Oh Peter.

01:06:03Peter.

01:06:04Do you have any idea

01:06:05what you're doing?

01:06:07Mr. Yates.

01:06:08I'm so glad

01:06:09you could join us.

01:06:12Miss Lewis.

01:06:13Sorry about the delay

01:06:14and for all the trouble

01:06:16you've had to put up with.

01:06:17It's no trouble

01:06:19Mr. Yates.

01:06:20Luckily I haven't

01:06:21been alone.

01:06:22I've had the great

01:06:23company of my

01:06:24very loyal

01:06:25friend.

01:06:28Wait a minute.

01:06:30She's Miss Lewis.

01:06:30Is this a joke?

01:06:32Mr. Young,

01:06:33you're new to the

01:06:34Lewis Group

01:06:35so I can understand

01:06:37why you wouldn't

01:06:37recognize Miss Lewis.

01:06:38that you listened to

01:06:40lies without checking

01:06:41the facts

01:06:42and almost

01:06:44called the police.

01:06:46Tell me

01:06:47Mr. Young

01:06:49who put you

01:06:50up to this?

01:06:51Was it my uncle

01:06:52Ian Lewis?

01:06:53I knew it.

01:07:00Consider this your

01:07:01termination.

01:07:04I get it now.

01:07:05This is all an act.

01:07:07Right?

01:07:07Chloe, what are you doing?

01:07:09We still want to work

01:07:09with the Lewis family.

01:07:10Work with them?

01:07:11Are you blind?

01:07:12This woman is clearly

01:07:13having an affair

01:07:14with this old man.

01:07:16That's enough

01:07:16young lady.

01:07:17You've got no right

01:07:18to disrespect

01:07:19the head of the

01:07:19Lewis Group.

01:07:20Oh, Chloe.

01:07:24I can't believe

01:07:24we're going through

01:07:25this again.

01:07:25I think you need

01:07:27some professional

01:07:28help.

01:07:29Maybe I could make

01:07:30you an appointment

01:07:31with a great psychiatrist.

01:07:32Chloe,

01:07:33that's enough.

01:07:34It's ridiculous.

01:07:35If you were really

01:07:36the Lewis family heir,

01:07:37you would have the ring.

01:07:38So why don't you

01:07:39show it to everyone?

01:07:40Show us the ring!

01:07:44Why don't you

01:07:45show that to everyone?

01:07:46Show us the ring!

01:07:48Show us the ring!

01:07:49Who are you

01:07:50to make demands

01:07:51of me?

01:07:52I don't answer

01:07:53to anyone

01:07:54but myself.

01:07:56I don't need

01:07:57any

01:07:58of your validation.

01:08:02There's a ring!

01:08:07Vice Presidents!

01:08:09I'm Chloe Duke

01:08:10of the Duke family.

01:08:11This woman

01:08:12is an imposter!

01:08:13Miss Lewis,

01:08:14we apologise

01:08:15for the delay.

01:08:16How could you

01:08:17just let that

01:08:18con woman sit there?

01:08:19Get her out of here!

01:08:20This seat

01:08:21was always

01:08:22from Miss Lewis.

01:08:24She's the special

01:08:25guest we've been

01:08:26waiting for.

01:08:27The investment

01:08:28queen.

01:08:29The real

01:08:30heir to

01:08:30Lewis Group.

01:08:32Laura Lewis!

01:08:34She was a

01:08:34divorced hostwife.

01:08:35A janitor.

01:08:36How can she?

01:08:37She can't be.

01:08:38It's a lie.

01:08:38I'm telling you.

01:08:39It's a lie.

01:08:40Do you think

01:08:41we'd lie?

01:08:42We run

01:08:43Lewis Group.

01:08:44Oh,

01:08:45Chloe,

01:08:46you

01:08:46assaulted me

01:08:47earlier

01:08:48and

01:08:50you came to this

01:08:51meeting to what?

01:08:52Sabotage it.

01:08:54You'll be hearing

01:08:55from our legal team.

01:08:59Is this true,

01:09:00Miss Duke?

01:09:00Did you try and

01:09:01sabotage this meeting?

01:09:04Yes,

01:09:05it's all true.

01:09:06She fooled us all.

01:09:08The Duke

01:09:08tricked us

01:09:09to keep

01:09:09Lewis Group

01:09:10out of Maplewood

01:09:11and control

01:09:12everything themselves.

01:09:13I had no idea.

01:09:15But I'm on

01:09:16your side.

01:09:17I can give you

01:09:18everything you need.

01:09:20All the resources

01:09:21in Maplewood.

01:09:22Miss Lewis,

01:09:23how would you like

01:09:24us to deal with this?

01:09:26An eye

01:09:27for an eye.

01:09:30Since

01:09:31Miss Duke

01:09:33here

01:09:33loves

01:09:35ruining things,

01:09:37I'll target

01:09:38her precious

01:09:39Duke

01:09:40Industries.

01:09:42I want them

01:09:43bankrupt

01:09:43in ten minutes.

01:09:45You're bluffing.

01:09:47You're nobody.

01:09:48You'll always be a nobody

01:09:49and you can't

01:09:50touch me.

01:09:51Then,

01:09:52consider this

01:09:53a test,

01:09:55Chloe.

01:09:55I didn't need

01:09:56my family's support

01:09:57with Shepard

01:09:58and I certainly

01:09:59don't need it now.

01:10:00Chloe,

01:10:01you dug your own grave.

01:10:03You think

01:10:04you can destroy

01:10:05Maplewood's leading family

01:10:07with just the Shepard

01:10:08group?

01:10:09Please.

01:10:12We'll see.

01:10:17Dad?

01:10:19Slow down.

01:10:21What are you

01:10:21talking about?

01:10:23No.

01:10:25It's impossible.

01:10:27Chloe,

01:10:28what have you done?

01:10:29Years of hard work.

01:10:31Just draw it in minutes.

01:10:32What did you do?

01:10:38Well,

01:10:39Chloe,

01:10:40isn't this what you wanted?

01:10:42To give me

01:10:43a little taste

01:10:44of destruction?

01:10:45This is,

01:10:45this is impossible.

01:10:47It's impossible.

01:10:49Chloe,

01:10:50what have you done?

01:10:51The news is everywhere.

01:10:54Shepard's launched

01:10:54a full-scale assault

01:10:55on the stock market.

01:10:57They're hammering

01:10:58our shares.

01:10:59Are you sure

01:11:00it's just shut up?

01:11:01Yes!

01:11:02Shareholders

01:11:02are dumping

01:11:03our stock

01:11:04like it's a hot potato.

01:11:06We could go bankrupt.

01:11:08You've ruined everything.

01:11:09Don't worry,

01:11:10Mr. Duke.

01:11:10When

01:11:11your company

01:11:12does go bankrupt,

01:11:13I'll buy it.

01:11:15At a fire sale price.

01:11:16Your employees

01:11:17won't even be affected.

01:11:18Brilliant.

01:11:19A masterstroke,

01:11:20Ms. Lewis.

01:11:22Now,

01:11:23this

01:11:24is my event.

01:11:27Please leave.

01:11:28Ryan,

01:11:28I did this for us.

01:11:30Everything I did,

01:11:31I did for us,

01:11:32Brian.

01:11:35Chloe,

01:11:35you need help.

01:11:38These feelings

01:11:39you have for me,

01:11:40it's not love.

01:11:42It's obsession.

01:11:44Enough.

01:11:46If you don't want

01:11:46to ruin everything

01:11:47completely,

01:11:48you'll come with me

01:11:49right now.

01:11:51No.

01:11:52Right now.

01:11:55Ryan!

01:11:58This isn't over!

01:12:03Get out of me!

01:12:05What is this?

01:12:06What?

01:12:07You hear me?

01:12:09What is going on here?

01:12:12Did they finally

01:12:12expose Laura's lies?

01:12:14Shepard Group.

01:12:15They're the new partner

01:12:16that's partnering up

01:12:17with Lewis Group

01:12:17for Maplewood.

01:12:19They're handling

01:12:19all future construction projects.

01:12:21That can't be.

01:12:23What about us?

01:12:24That was our project.

01:12:25Remember,

01:12:26Laura teamed up

01:12:26with Brian.

01:12:28Harrison Group

01:12:28is practically out.

01:12:29We have no chance.

01:12:31We can't give up

01:12:32that easily.

01:12:33Remember,

01:12:34Ian Lewis himself

01:12:35appointed me

01:12:35as General Manager.

01:12:37In a few days,

01:12:38he promised that

01:12:38he would let us

01:12:39meet with a new heir.

01:12:40You're right.

01:12:41If we can just

01:12:42meet with a new heir,

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 game

01:12:48and see who comes

01:12:49out on top.

01:12:51That's right.

01:12:55Vice Presidents,

01:12:56allow me to introduce

01:12:58my associate,

01:12:59Brian Shepard.

01:13:01I'm sure

01:13:01I've mentioned him before.

01:13:03Mr. Shepard,

01:13:04finally a pleasure

01:13:04to meet you.

01:13:06We've looked

01:13:06into your company's

01:13:08financial review.

01:13:10Very impressive.

01:13:12Thank you, bud.

01:13:13A large part

01:13:14of their success

01:13:15is thanks

01:13:16to Ms. Lewis.

01:13:18She practically

01:13:19saved me

01:13:19from disaster

01:13:20three times over now.

01:13:22Brian,

01:13:22you can just

01:13:23call me Laura.

01:13:25Ms. Lewis'

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 Laura

01:13:39is not easy to find.

01:13:41Thank you

01:13:41for your kind words,

01:13:42Mr. Vice President.

01:13:46Did Laura send you

01:13:53to kill me?

01:13:54Laura?

01:13:55Hardly.

01:13:56I'm Ian Lewis,

01:13:58CEO and rightful

01:13:59heir of the Lewis Group.

01:14:02So you're Laura's

01:14:04uncle?

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 away

01:14:12her birthright

01:14:13about two,

01:14:14three years ago.

01:14:16Ran off and married

01:14:17a nobody

01:14:17from Maplewood.

01:14:19I think he was

01:14:19a Harrison.

01:14:20Now Laura's got

01:14:21the VPs

01:14:22and Mr. Yates

01:14:23on her side.

01:14:24Did you hear

01:14:24she's throwing a banquet

01:14:25in a few days

01:14:26to announce

01:14:26her official takeover?

01:14:28And we can't

01:14:29let that happen,

01:14:30can we, my dear?

01:14:31If you're

01:14:32Ian Lewis,

01:14:33wouldn't you have

01:14:33the family ring?

01:14:34Well, my dear,

01:14:36that's where you

01:14:36come in,

01:14:37Miss Duke.

01:14:38We need you

01:14:38to relinquish

01:14:39my ring.

01:14:40What if I,

01:14:42what if I fail?

01:14:43My family

01:14:44is already

01:14:45ruined.

01:14:46Yes, you are

01:14:46in 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

01:14:53family

01:14:54will get back

01:14:55everything you've

01:14:56lost.

01:14:57Laura's got

01:14:57the VPs

01:14:58and Brian

01:14:59on her side.

01:14:59How can I

01:15:00possibly get

01:15:00the ring?

01:15:01There is a way,

01:15:02you know,

01:15:03that we can

01:15:04make Laura

01:15:04relinquish

01:15:06and give up

01:15:07that ring

01:15:07willingly.

01:15:08Laura,

01:15:11my dear,

01:15:12welcome.

01:15:13Uncle 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

01:15:26perhaps.

01:15:27How have you

01:15:27been?

01:15:28I've been well,

01:15:29Uncle Ian.

01:15:30Thank you for

01:15:31asking.

01:15:32I see you've

01:15:33been busy

01:15:34keeping Lewis

01:15:35group afloat.

01:15:36Yes.

01:15:36It's been easy.

01:15:37Indeed.

01:15:38Somebody had

01:15:39to.

01:15:39I mean,

01:15:40after you

01:15:40left me

01:15:41with everything

01:15:41to do,

01:15:42without a

01:15:43safe pair

01:15:43of hands,

01:15:44I hate to

01:15:44think it

01:15:44would have

01:15:45happened

01:15:45to the

01:15:45company.

01:15:47Actually,

01:15:47Uncle Ian,

01:15:48from what

01:15:49I've heard,

01:15:50you've lost

01:15:51billions with

01:15:52some questionable

01:15:53investment

01:15:54decisions.

01:15:55Yes.

01:15:56Minor

01:15:57mistakes.

01:15:58Minor.

01:15:58Don't worry,

01:15:59Uncle Ian,

01:16:00I won't hold

01:16:00it against you.

01:17:10abandoned warehouse

01:17:11in the eastern suburbs.

01:18:34You were the one

01:18:35that left me

01:18:35for that tramp

01:18:36and destroyed my life!

01:18:37That's not true!

01:18:38You were the one

01:18:39who messed up!

01:18:40Brian!

01:18:41Laura!

01:18:44Stay where you are!

01:18:46You better

01:18:47come alone.

01:18:49Drop this knife,

01:18:50Chloe.

01:18:50This is insane!

01:18:52Insane?

01:18:53I did this

01:18:54for us,

01:18:54Brian!

01:18:55We were meant

01:18:56to be together.

01:18:58My God.

01:18:59You've gone crazy!

01:19:01And you're out of here!

01:19:02Chloe,

01:19:03kidnapping

01:19:04is a

01:19:05very

01:19:05serious

01:19:06offense.

01:19:06They're going to

01:19:07lock you up

01:19:08for 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.

01:19:36You know,

01:19:37Chloe,

01:19:37trying to kill me,

01:19:40that's foolish.

01:19:42Because who do you

01:19:43think is going to win?

01:19:45You,

01:19:47that little knife,

01:19:48or

01:19:48me,

01:19:50with something

01:19:52a little bit

01:19:52more persuasive.

01:19:53don't move,

01:20:02don't move,

01:20:02don't move.

01:20:03Don't move.

01:20:07You're about to be

01:20:08arrested for

01:20:09kidnapping.

01:20:10Miss Lewis,

01:20:11having fun without me?

01:20:13I'm hurt.

01:20:15Brian,

01:20:16are you hurt?

01:20:18No,

01:20:19I'm okay.

01:20:20Tell me,

01:20:23Chloe,

01:20:23who put you

01:20:26up to this,

01:20:27Chloe?

01:20:27Why should I tell you?

01:20:29You're going to

01:20:30kill me anyway.

01:20:31Chloe,

01:20:32I don't have a

01:20:33problem with you,

01:20:34but if you

01:20:35don't talk,

01:20:40some.

01:20:41Oh,

01:20:43Miss Lewis.

01:20:48or face

01:20:49the consequences.

01:20:49Fine.

01:20:51It was Ian Lewis.

01:20:53He said he'd

01:20:54help Duke Industries

01:20:55if I kept you

01:20:56away from the

01:20:56banquet today.

01:24:35heir,

01:24:38rightful heir

01:24:39has possession

01:24:40of this.

01:24:42You think a

01:24:43ring makes

01:24:44an heir?

01:24:45You're even more

01:24:46foolish than I

01:24:47could have ever

01:24:47imagined.

01:24:49Give that back

01:24:50to me.

01:24:51This?

01:24:52Yes.

01:24:53You think some

01:24:54shiny gold thing

01:24:55makes you the

01:24:56heir?

01:24:57Give it back.

01:24:58True

01:25:20you how a

01:25:21true heir

01:25:23thing like that.

01:25:27Talk,

01:25:28or face

01:25:28the consequences.

01:25:29Fine.

01:25:30It was Ian Lewis.

01:25:32He,

01:25:33you can destroy

01:25:34the butt

01:25:34kept you away

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.

01:25:50It's fake news.

01:25:50The proof is clear.

01:25:51Get him out of here.

01:25:52Now.

01:25:53I 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

01:26:21exciting plans

01:26:21for Maplewood.

01:26:23I'm proud

01:26:25to announce

01:26:25that

01:26:26we have secured

01:26:28a reliable

01:26:29partner.

01:26:33What?

01:26:34Laura, hold on.

01:26:35This was never

01:26:37my idea.

01:26:38This was all

01:26:38Kathy and Amber's fault.

01:26:39I don't want a divorce.

01:26:41What?

01:26:41Then what are you saying?

01:26:43You came to me first.

01:26:44Classic Ben.

01:26:45Something goes wrong

01:26:47and 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.
