Revenge Of The Abandoned Heiress
Transcript
00:00:00You're gonna be a father.
00:00:04What's she doing here?
00:00:06What do you think?
00:00:07No need to hide anymore.
00:00:09I'm leaving you.
00:00:10We're Catherine.
00:00:12Unlike you, I'm young and rich.
00:00:14I can give Bradley what he deserves.
00:00:16Catherine hired me to be vice president to her family's hospital.
00:00:19She's also way better in bed.
00:00:21What's that?
00:00:28She's pregnant?
00:00:30What?
00:00:31She must be faking it to trap you.
00:00:34No, it's me.
00:00:35I'm so desperate.
00:00:37Give it back.

00:02:07my daughter Mia Gerber
00:02:09will be the new CEO of Gerber Corporation
00:02:12isn't Mia ready for such a big role
00:02:14I've been concealing my identity
00:02:16to go undercover within the industry
00:02:17I've learned our competitors from the inside
00:02:20trust me
00:02:21I'm more than ready
00:02:24furthermore
00:02:27Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings
00:02:30Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings
00:02:36there is a condition
00:02:39you're going to have to marry Joshua Lane
00:02:42the heir of Lane Holdings
00:02:44Mia's never even met this guy before
00:02:47it's a strategic alliance
00:02:49it's a strategic alliance Noah
00:02:50it's what's best for our families and the company
00:02:53I'll do it
00:02:55I'll marry Joshua Lane if that's what it takes
00:03:00and this alliance
00:03:03will strengthen our company and secure our future
00:03:08isn't Joshua Lane thanks for being called the little Ruffles
00:03:19that's what I heard
00:03:21and I think it'll be good for the company
00:03:23I don't think it'll be good for the new CEO
00:03:25I don't think it'll be good for the new CEO
00:03:42Joshua, I was hoping we could...
00:03:48Not interested. Get lost.
00:03:53Man, you are brutal. That's the fifth girl you've turned down tonight.
00:03:58Hey, I heard you're getting hitched to Mia Gerber. Why didn't you turn her down?
00:04:02This marriage is what my parents want. Couldn't care less about her.
00:04:06Oh, come on. She's the heiress to the Gerber Corporation. There must be some perks to her.
00:04:09Perks or not, she'll learn quickly that I'm not one to be messed with.
00:04:13Going to give her a hard time, huh?
00:04:15Let's just say that she's got something coming.
00:04:28Do you, Joshua Lane, take Mia Gerber for your lawfully wedded wife?
00:04:33I do.
00:04:34And you, Mia Gerber, do you take Joshua Lane for your lawfully wedded husband?
00:04:41I do.
00:04:43Uh, the rings?
00:04:53You may now kiss the bride.
00:04:55Let's get one thing straight, Mia.
00:05:09This marriage is a show for our family and the rest of the world.
00:05:13Don't expect any affection from me.
00:05:15Understood.
00:05:17And vice versa.
00:05:17Yeah.
00:05:18My parents want to set up a dinner with us.
00:05:36My assistant will set it up.
00:05:37She can coordinate schedules with my assistant.
00:05:40Done.
00:05:40Joshua has always been so distant with people.
00:06:05Unlike Alex here, who's so popular and charismatic.
00:06:11You should see all of a woman that can't stop chasing.
00:06:14Well, at least I don't have to worry if Alex can give me a grandson.
00:06:20But I wonder, Joshua, if you can even warm up enough to give me a child.
00:06:26We need an heir after all.
00:06:28Eleanor?
00:06:30That's enough.
00:06:30I'm just saying, perhaps Alex is a better fit to leave Lane Hortons.
00:06:37Quite the contrary.
00:06:38Actually, Joshua's very passionate.
00:06:42Especially in the bedroom.
00:06:44No doubt that you'll have that heir soon.
00:06:52For your information, passion is not in my DNA.
00:06:56Nor does it align with my personal brand.
00:06:58But still, thank you for standing up for me.
00:07:05I just didn't appreciate your stepmom's attitude.
00:07:15Get the campaign ready.
00:07:16I want that jerk out.
00:07:18Asa.
00:07:22Noah, hey.
00:07:24I need a favor.
00:07:28You're right.
00:07:31Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua.
00:07:34Blue Diamond PR is already involved.
00:07:37What agency are we using?
00:07:39We're still deciding.
00:07:40Bids are open for this year's contract.
00:07:43Perfect.
00:07:45I have a plan.
00:07:46I'm offering the Gerber Corporation's annual PR budget.
00:07:53It's one of the largest in the industry.
00:07:55That's an enticing offer, Miss Gerber.
00:07:58What do you ask of me in return?
00:08:01I need you to withdraw from any campaign against Joshua Lane.
00:08:04I don't mind.
00:08:05I'll cover the cancellation fee.
00:08:12You have a deal.
00:08:14The Gerber Corporation account is too good to pass up.
00:08:18There's a little more.
00:08:20I need you to spread the word.
00:08:22Any PR firm that goes against Joshua Lane will be blacklisted from the Gerber Corporation and our allies.
00:08:29You got it.
00:08:30No one in this industry would be stupid enough to fight against the Gerber Corporation.
00:08:36Wonderful.
00:08:37Thanks.
00:08:38Looking forward to a fruitful partnership.
00:08:46I have evidence of Alex's scheme against you.
00:08:49But don't worry, I've already taken care of it.
00:08:51I always knew Eleanor and Alex to be after my position.
00:08:56I just didn't expect Alex to be this bold.
00:09:00How do you know about this?
00:09:01Alex struck me as opportunistic.
00:09:03A smear campaign is the easiest way to sway the shareholders' opinion.
00:09:06And Eleanor's background in PR made this move predictable.
00:09:10You're more perceptive than I thought.
00:09:13Why are you helping me?
00:09:17Our family's alliance is crucial.
00:09:18Protecting you means protecting the Gerber Corporation.
00:09:22It's all business.
00:09:26Business, right?
00:09:28Well, in that case, I should help you with your beef with Catherine and Bradley, right?
00:09:34How did you know about that?
00:09:37Didn't expect me to enter into the marriage without doing background checks.
00:09:40I just don't get what the big deal about your ex is.
00:09:43I mean, he cheated on you.
00:09:45So what?
00:09:48She must be faking it to trap you.
00:09:54How dare you?
00:09:55You had no right to dig into my past like that.
00:09:59I can take care of myself.
00:10:04What just happened?
00:10:05To your new position as senior VP.
00:10:14And it's all thanks to my help, of course.
00:10:17Absolutely.
00:10:17You're my lucky charm, honey.
00:10:18Imagine if I'd stayed with Mia.
00:10:27Poor and powerless.
00:10:28That's all she ever was.
00:10:29She's a joke.
00:10:30A stepping stone at best.
00:10:33You by my side, we are unstoppable.
00:10:35Catherine's hospital is resisting our acquisition.
00:10:49Bradley, as the new senior VP, is leading the pushback.
00:10:53Do they know I'm the CEO yet?
00:10:55No, as per your request.
00:10:57Perfect.
00:10:58Keep at it.
00:10:58Now, how do I pull this off?
00:11:14There are gaps in Mia's medical record right after her breakup.
00:11:18These are from the Gerber Corporation's own hospital.
00:11:21Only someone higher up from within can access it.
00:11:30I want to know what happened to Mia during that gap.
00:11:32After the breakup.
00:11:34Even if I know, why would I tell you?
00:11:36Mia helped me.
00:11:37But unless I understand that part of the puzzle,
00:11:40I won't be able to return her fate.
00:11:42Do you care for her?
00:11:45Don't dislike her?
00:11:46No, Mia deserves someone who truly loves her.
00:11:51Not you.
00:11:53She's a grown woman.
00:11:54She knows what she wants.
00:11:56Nobody gets to tell her what she deserves.
00:11:57Especially not you.
00:12:06You can choose not to share the information.
00:12:09But you won't be helping her.
00:12:12Your choice.
00:12:16All right, look.
00:12:19If you have to know,
00:12:21unfortunately,
00:12:23Mia had a miscarriage
00:12:24because of an accident involving Bradley and Catherine.
00:12:46How are you feeling?
00:12:50It's none of your business.
00:12:52Not that you would know what that means.
00:12:55I'm sorry for overstepping
00:12:56and being insensitive.
00:12:58I learned about your miscarriage.
00:13:00I had no idea.
00:13:02You didn't know?
00:13:03That doesn't excuse my behavior.
00:13:06I apologize.
00:13:08I may have overreacted.
00:13:10You were hurting.
00:13:11That's understandable.
00:13:12So you're not a robot.
00:13:15Like everyone says you are.
00:13:16Of course I'm not.
00:13:18Who says that?
00:13:19Everyone.
00:13:20Your family,
00:13:21your friends,
00:13:22your co-workers,
00:13:24enemies.
00:13:25I even heard the maids joking about it the other day.
00:13:29Bar them all.
00:13:30No, no.
00:13:31No, it's okay.
00:13:33They're allowed to joke.
00:13:34They've been doing a wonderful job.
00:13:35Besides,
00:13:37I think you should
00:13:38talk like this.
00:13:40It suits you.
00:13:42It's not funny.
00:13:46It's late.
00:13:49I'm going to bed.
00:13:52Okay.
00:13:52Good night.
00:14:01Talk like this.
00:14:02Go ahead with the plan.
00:14:16Short the stock of Catherine's company.
00:14:18I want to see them bleed.
00:14:29Mia,
00:14:30you need to see this.
00:14:31The stock of Catherine's hospital
00:14:33has been shortened dramatically.
00:14:35They're on the verge of bankruptcy.
00:14:36Just a week?
00:14:38How is this possible?
00:14:39Seems like a coordinated attack.
00:14:41Someone powerful is behind this.
00:14:45Joshua.
00:14:51Did you short Catherine's stock?
00:14:54Yes, I did.
00:14:55Why?
00:14:56Strictly for business.
00:14:58To protect our family's alliances.
00:14:59Your enemies are my enemies now.
00:15:02Thank you, Joshua.
00:15:03I just did what's necessary.
00:15:04Just like you would do.
00:15:05Now to pay a little visit to Bradley and Catherine.
00:15:16Bradley,
00:15:17what are we going to do?
00:15:18They're taking everything.
00:15:19I can't believe this is happening.
00:15:23As of now,
00:15:24this hospital is under Gerber Corporation's control.
00:15:27Yes, the Gerber Corporation.
00:15:29As in my family's company.
00:15:31Mia Gerber?
00:15:31I thought you were Mia Whitlock.
00:15:33Whitlock was just a name I used
00:15:35to conceal my identity.
00:15:37You betrayed and hurt my wife.
00:15:39Now you're facing the consequences.
00:15:41I've resigned.
00:15:42You can't touch me.
00:15:43Resignation or not, Bradley,
00:15:44your career is over.
00:15:46I've seen to it that everyone in this industry
00:15:47won't touch you after what you've done.
00:15:50Mia,
00:15:51you know that I never meant to hurt you.
00:15:55This hospital is all that I have left.
00:15:56Please.
00:15:58No.
00:15:59That day that I fell,
00:16:01you stood there and watched.
00:16:03You made your decision then.
00:16:05Mia, can we talk?
00:16:07I know I hurt you deeply.
00:16:08I just want to apologize
00:16:09to make things right.
00:16:10Mia, I'm truly sorry
00:16:26about everything.
00:16:29I dreamt about you and the baby
00:16:30every day.
00:16:31I just couldn't bring myself
00:16:33to tell you this after the accident
00:16:34because I felt so ashamed of myself.
00:16:37Your apology can't undo
00:16:38what's been done, Bradley.
00:16:40I know.
00:16:41I just,
00:16:41I need you to know
00:16:43that I will always care about you
00:16:45deeply.
00:16:58You're really like they say.
00:17:01Tall.
00:17:02Handsome.
00:17:03Powerful.
00:17:04Powerful.
00:17:08You know I can make you
00:17:13a very happy man.
00:17:17I do not engage with women
00:17:19who have no shame.
00:17:22Get your hands off me.
00:17:28Catherine manipulated me,
00:17:29but now I realize
00:17:30she's nothing compared to you.
00:17:32We could start over.
00:17:33With your family's resources,
00:17:35I could help you grow the business.
00:17:36We could be parents again.
00:17:38Give us a chance.
00:17:40You know,
00:17:41if I wasn't 100% sure before,
00:17:43I am now.
00:17:45You're a piece of human trash.
00:17:49You're right.
00:17:49I'm dirty.
00:17:50But think about all the good memories
00:17:51we have.
00:17:52Think about more to come.
00:17:54Just say.
00:17:54Let go.
00:17:55Mia, don't.
00:17:55I'm serious.
00:17:56Don't.
00:17:56Get the fuck out of here.
00:18:01Get the fuck out of here.
00:18:02I should have intervened
00:18:09before Bradley could touch you.
00:18:10It's fine, Joshua.
00:18:12Thank you for stepping in.
00:18:14Thank you for...
00:18:17everything.
00:18:21Yeah, I followed through
00:18:22with all my business plans.
00:18:24Right.
00:18:25Yeah.
00:18:25The business plan.
00:18:28You know,
00:18:28you called me your wife
00:18:29for the first time.
00:18:31Don't look into it too much.
00:18:33Let's go.
00:18:34Actually,
00:18:35you know what?
00:18:37Now that all the revenge
00:18:38is done,
00:18:39I think I want to take
00:18:40some time alone
00:18:41to
00:18:42figure out my feelings.
00:18:45I understand.
00:18:46They've destroyed everything.
00:18:54We can't let them
00:18:55get away with this.
00:18:59What if we take
00:19:00Mia?
00:19:02A ransom would help us
00:19:03but hurt Mia.
00:19:06Yes.
00:19:08Abducting
00:19:08Mia Gerber.
00:19:10Let's see how
00:19:10Joshua Lane reacts
00:19:12then.
00:19:13But how will we
00:19:13get to Mia?
00:19:14I know that she always
00:19:15goes to this one spot
00:19:17alone.
00:19:18From what I know about her,
00:19:20she must be there
00:19:20right now.
00:19:21Yeah.
00:19:21mother,
00:19:27she must be there
00:19:27for her.
00:19:30I know what she is
00:19:31so that she lives
00:19:31and she doesn't
00:19:32but she doesn't
00:19:34have to do
00:19:36I know that
00:19:36she's
00:19:37not
00:19:38but she
00:19:38is
00:19:39not

00:19:47and
00:19:48but it
00:19:49has
00:20:20Hey!
00:20:23Hey!
00:20:26Help!
00:20:34Thought you could get rid of us, Mia?
00:20:38You and Joshua will regret ever crossing us.
00:20:43Don't bring him into this, you bitch!
00:20:50That's what we're talking about to me.
00:21:05Look at you.
00:21:07Just as pathetic as the day you fell.
00:21:10Of course I could have saved you.
00:21:12But why would I?
00:21:14You and your baby are worth nothing.
00:21:23Joshua Lane?
00:21:25Listen.
00:21:26We have Mia Gerber.
00:21:28You want her back?
00:21:29Get ready with a hefty ransom.
00:21:31I'll pay the ransom.
00:21:33But listen to me clearly.
00:21:34I will hunt you down in your wish you'd never cross me!
00:21:37Based on the footage from Mia's car camera, it seems Bradley and Catherine are behind this.
00:21:50These are the possible locations where Mia can be.
00:21:54This one.
00:21:55Let's get you out of here.
00:22:14Let's get you out of here.
00:22:16Let's get you out of here.
00:22:46Just stop!
00:22:56It's not worth it.
00:22:57Other matters have occupied my brain
00:23:05I know that's not an excuse to forget about you
00:23:14But I guess that's just life someday
00:23:27Made you some soup
00:23:31Thank you
00:23:37It's very unique
00:23:40What is this?
00:23:41My mom's recipe
00:23:43Before she passed away she used to make it for me when I was sick
00:23:46Thought it might comfort you
00:23:49Must have made it wrong
00:23:50It's wonderful
00:23:52I don't know how to thank you enough
00:23:55It's nothing
00:23:57I just did what I had to do
00:24:01Toshul
00:24:03Is this still just a marriage of convenience for you?
00:24:07Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Lane
00:24:09A guest has arrived
00:24:10Her name is Susie Harper
00:24:12Susie's back
00:24:22I've missed you so much
00:24:25When's the last time we saw each other?
00:24:35Four years ago before I went abroad
00:24:37It's been too long
00:24:39Welcome back Susie
00:24:40I came back just for you
00:24:42Oh there's so much
00:24:44Hey
00:24:45Uh
00:24:46Uh
00:24:47Susie this is
00:24:48My wife Mia
00:24:50Um
00:24:51Mia this is Susie
00:24:52Uh an old friend of mine
00:24:54So
00:24:55So
00:24:56You're the one Joshua had to marry
00:24:57No
00:24:58Susie
00:24:59That's enough
00:25:00Joshua
00:25:01Joshua and I have a special bond
00:25:03You know
00:25:04We've been friends since like forever
00:25:06He means a lot to me
00:25:09I want him to be happy
00:25:10I think we all want that
00:25:12Do you?
00:25:13Joshua and I talk often over the phone
00:25:16He confides in me
00:25:18I'm one of the few he truly trusts
00:25:20He mentioned he was quite unhappy about the marriage
00:25:24Right
00:25:25Uh
00:25:26Well it seems like you two have a lot to catch up on
00:25:28So
00:25:29I'll leave you to it
00:25:30To it
00:25:36Susie
00:25:37Why would you say those things?
00:25:39I told you I have doubts before the wedding
00:25:42Not since then
00:25:43Joshua
00:25:44You're clearly unhappy
00:25:46I was just speaking up for you
00:25:48I don't need you to look out for me
00:25:50I'm sorry
00:25:52I just
00:25:53I was trying to help
00:25:56Since you clearly didn't want the marriage
00:25:59I don't mind it now
00:26:02Do you like her?
00:26:05She's fine
00:26:08This means I still have a chance
00:26:11Joshua
00:26:13If I had stayed by your side
00:26:14You never would have had to marry a complete stranger
00:26:17Like me and Gerber
00:26:19I'm sure it hasn't been pleasant
00:26:22Now that I'm back
00:26:23You can always talk to me
00:26:25Susie, you're a great friend
00:26:28Of course
00:26:29We'll always be there for you
00:26:38How's it going?
00:26:41It's this marriage
00:26:42It's Joshua
00:26:43He's like a shadow
00:26:44He's
00:26:45Always there but never really close
00:26:47You deserve someone who can give you all the love and appreciation you need
00:26:52Remember if you ever need anything
00:26:53I'm here
00:26:54Thank you Noah
00:26:55How can I live without you?
00:26:59I can't live without you
00:27:00I can't live without you
00:27:02How can I live without you?
00:27:03How can I live without you?
00:27:07I can't live without you
00:27:08I can't live without you
00:27:09I can't live without you
00:27:10I can't live without you
00:27:11I can't live without you
00:27:13They're everything to protect you Mia
00:27:14How could I live without you?
00:27:33I'll do everything to protect you, Mia.
00:27:44Joshua.
00:27:51We can't be like this forever.
00:27:52We have to talk.
00:27:56Why don't you talk to Noah?
00:27:58Seems like you have plenty to say to him.
00:27:59I don't even know what that means.
00:28:01There's nothing between Noah and me.
00:28:03You and Susie, on the other hand.
00:28:06What?
00:28:07Whatever you think, I don't care.
00:28:14What's he doing here?
00:28:29Look, I'm here to deliver some documents to Mia.
00:28:31And if you ever hurt her, just know that I will protect her at all costs.
00:28:46And what exactly have you done to protect her?
00:28:49Seems like all talk but no action.
00:28:51What are you two doing?
00:28:55What's going on here?
00:28:56Joshua, why are you acting so abrasion?
00:28:58This is ridiculous.
00:28:59You invite him into our house just to talk to him?
00:29:01I didn't invite...
00:29:02Joshua!
00:29:04I'm sorry, Mia.
00:29:05I didn't mean to cause any grift between you two.
00:29:07It wasn't my intention.
00:29:08It's fine.
00:29:09Why are you here?
00:29:10I'm here to protect you and the company.
00:29:13I suspect that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare.
00:29:19Is that Dwayne?
00:29:21And the CEO of Melody Healthcare.
00:29:28This plan is our game changer.
00:29:31What about Melody Healthcare?
00:29:33They're our biggest rival.
00:29:35They're going in a completely different direction.
00:29:37We are way ahead of them.
00:29:39And how do you know that?
00:29:41The CEO approached me the other day.
00:29:44He tried to get some information from me, but I flipped it and got some information from him.
00:29:48Like I'd be trying my own company.
00:29:49You'd be a fool to think that.
00:29:51Right.
00:29:52Of course, Dwayne.
00:29:53Let's go ahead with the plan.
00:30:02See?
00:30:03He's fine.
00:30:05I don't know.
00:30:05There's something strange about him.
00:30:06I can't put my finger on it, but just keep your eyes open, okay?
00:30:12I will.
00:30:16Mia suspected, but I made her trust me now.
00:30:21Let's go ahead and move forward with the plan.
00:30:22Excellent.
00:30:25Once we execute the strategy, the Gerbers will be blindsided.
00:30:30Melody Healthcare will be the number one.
00:30:33Mia Gerber will be out of the company.
00:30:35And I'll be the number one.
00:30:38How did they get ahead of us?
00:30:47This was our strategy.
00:30:49Where's Dwayne?
00:30:50He's outside.
00:31:03Melody Healthcare just announced their new AI-generated online psychiatric care.
00:31:07The similarity of the details to ours is uncanny.
00:31:14I don't know.
00:31:15We kept everything under wraps.
00:31:18They must have developed this independently.
00:31:21Mia, you're just too young.
00:31:23You're not experienced enough in this business world.
00:31:25This stuff happens.
00:31:27I'm experienced enough to know that this is not a coincidence.
00:31:31And I don't need you to tell me what I do and do not know.
00:31:35You can move.
00:31:37Why do you look so sullen all the time?
00:31:52It doesn't look good on you.
00:31:55Wow.
00:31:56Thanks for the comfort.
00:32:02Dammit, why did I have to say that like that?
00:32:07Ms. Gerber, an emergency board meeting has been called.
00:32:11What?
00:32:11We need to talk about the leadership of this company.
00:32:21It is clear that Mia's recent decisions, well, they've been questionable.
00:32:26Acquiring Catherine Finney's hospital was a big misstep.
00:32:35Now Melody's healthcare is outpacing us.
00:32:39Mia, I'm sorry, but you're too young and inexperienced to be in this role.
00:32:43I believe under my leadership, our profits have already increased by 20% compared to last year.
00:32:51That's due to the overall market trend, not because you're leadership.
00:32:56My strategies have been more than effective.
00:32:59The Finley acquisition has potential long-term benefits, and our growth, by the way, is not just a fluke.
00:33:06This company, this board needs a leader with experience and vision, not someone learning on a job.
00:33:13As a senior VP, on behalf of all the employees with Gerber Corporation, we support Mia.
00:33:20I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:33:26I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:33:35What is this? What are you doing?
00:33:37These are communications between Dwayne and Melody Healthcare.
00:33:40He leaked our strategy.
00:33:43You're fired, Dwayne. Effective immediately.
00:33:48I've been with you since you founded the company.
00:33:50All these years, I'm never the CEO, but you give it to your daughter?
00:33:54I've always known you were ambitious, but I never thought you would stoop this load.
00:33:58Your lack of trustworthiness is why you were never CEO.
00:34:03We built this company on integrity and trust.
00:34:06Values you clearly lack.
00:34:10Security, escort Mr. Kaiser out.
00:34:12Wait, Dwayne.
00:34:24Mia, we're so proud of you.
00:34:27You really handled the crisis well.
00:34:30You truly are a go-go.
00:34:32Noah, I can't thank you enough.
00:34:39Of course. You know I'd do anything for you.
00:34:42You know, I never asked, but how did you get your hands on those documents?
00:34:46It all started with an anonymous tip.
00:34:50Someone delivered photos of Dwayne meeting with the owner of Melody Healthcare, and I intercepted the tip.
00:34:55This is your schedule for the week.
00:35:00And what's this?
00:35:01Um, seems to be about Mr. Kaiser.
00:35:03Okay, I'll take that too.
00:35:05Thanks.
00:35:05Anonymous.
00:35:17Who would do that?
00:35:19I don't know.
00:35:20But, uh, the photos led me to dig deeper, and eventually I found clear evidence of his betrayal.
00:35:26Can I see the photos?
00:35:27I think I might know who's behind this, but I need to confirm.
00:35:43Ethan, I need to talk to you about these photos.
00:35:46Is this you?
00:35:47In the reflection?
00:35:48Were you following Dwayne?
00:35:50Yeah, it's me.
00:35:51Joshua asked me to keep an eye on Dwayne.
00:35:54He's had his suspicions about Dwayne's loyalty for a while.
00:35:56Well, we then delivered the photos.
00:35:59Mr. Lane, what a surprise.
00:36:03Should I tell Ms. Lane you're here?
00:36:05No need to.
00:36:10Why couldn't Joshua just tell me about his suspicions?
00:36:13Joshua's a...
00:36:15He's a complicated man.
00:36:17He means well, but he struggles with expressing himself.
00:36:20He's never gone through such steps for anyone before Mia.
00:36:23This must mean he cares about you.
00:36:26He could just talk to me next time.
00:36:28Well, Joshua has his ways.
00:36:31He might not show it, but he cares deeply.
00:36:34I just ask that you...
00:36:35Don't hurt him.
00:36:38No.
00:36:39You're a loyal friend, Ethan.
00:36:50Joshua, I need to talk to you.
00:36:53It's about Dwayne Kaiser and Melody Healthcare.
00:36:55What about it?
00:36:56I know you sent Ethan to follow Dwayne.
00:36:59Why didn't you just talk to me?
00:37:01It just seemed like the best course of action at the time.
00:37:03Joshua, is there more to this marriage than the alliance?
00:37:07Did you do it because...
00:37:09No, no.
00:37:10It's nothing like that.
00:37:11I just couldn't have my wife being voted out as CEO on paper.
00:37:15It would look bad for me.
00:37:16So it's all about appearances?
00:37:19Yes, Mia.
00:37:20It's all it ever is.
00:37:21We agreed to a business arrangement.
00:37:24Joshua, I'm so tired of this.
00:37:26Of living in a fantasy where I never actually get to know you.
00:37:30I'm more than just a tool for business advancement or keeping up appearances.
00:37:35I want a divorce.
00:37:42I want a divorce.
00:37:47You sure about this?
00:37:50I deserve something real in my life, Joshua.
00:37:53Not this facade.
00:37:56I deserve to be more than just a business arrangement in somebody's life.
00:38:01I want genuine happiness.
00:38:03I understand.
00:38:04If that's what you want.
00:38:10Joshua, please.
00:38:14Let's proceed with the divorce.
00:38:15Let's proceed with the divorce.
00:38:34Joshua, what are you doing to yourself?
00:38:57Mia.
00:39:00Mia?
00:39:02Here, don't leave.
00:39:03Don't leave.
00:39:04You're drunk.
00:39:04Please, help me take him to his car.
00:39:07No.
00:39:09I'll take him to my place.
00:39:10He shouldn't be alone.
00:39:13Okay.
00:39:15Let's go.
00:39:15Mia.
00:39:25Mia.
00:39:26Mia.
00:39:34Morning, Josh.
00:39:36Here, drink this.
00:39:38You've had quite a night.
00:39:41Susie.
00:39:43Where am I?
00:39:45This is my apartment.
00:39:47Nothing bad happened.
00:39:49I also drove your car back here.
00:39:51How did I get here?
00:39:53You were really drunk.
00:39:55I didn't think you should be alone.
00:39:58Josh, what happened?
00:40:00It's over between me and Mia.
00:40:02We're getting a divorce.
00:40:09Maybe it was never meant to be.
00:40:12You deserve someone who understands and loves you.
00:40:32No, I can't do this, Susie.
00:40:45Why?
00:40:47I have always loved you.
00:40:49Now that you and me are getting a divorce, we can finally be together.
00:40:53Susie, you are a dear friend and like a little sister.
00:40:58It can't be anything more.
00:40:59I'm sorry.
00:41:03Do you really love that Mia Kerber?
00:41:07Uh.
00:41:10Yes, Susie.
00:41:10Matter of fact, I do.
00:41:13I need to go tell her.
00:41:15Now.
00:41:15Now.
00:41:29You're going to do a lot of antiquities.
00:41:41You're going to do a lot of antiquities.
00:41:41To me.
00:41:59Oh, uh, hey.
00:42:01I've decided to divorce Joshua.
00:42:03Are you okay?
00:42:05I'm fine.
00:42:06It's just, it's for the best.
00:42:09There's something I need to tell you about this.
00:42:12Sorry.
00:42:13It's the hospital.
00:42:14Hello?
00:42:15What?
00:42:17What happened?
00:42:18Is he okay?
00:42:20Okay, yeah, I'll be right there.
00:42:22What's wrong?
00:42:23It's Joshua.
00:42:24He's been in an accident.
00:42:33Excuse me, excuse me.
00:42:34I'm here for Joshua Lane.
00:42:43Joshua.
00:42:45Miss Gerber?
00:42:47Yeah.
00:42:47We found that Mr. Lane was attempting to call you
00:42:50when the accident occurred.
00:42:53It's all my fault.
00:42:56It was nobody's fault.
00:42:58It was an accident.
00:42:59But right now, he needs you.
00:43:02Do your best to help him wake up, will you?
00:43:04I won't leave you, Joshua.
00:43:08You remember that soup you made me?
00:43:16That meant the world to me.
00:43:18Whenever you get better,
00:43:21I'm gonna make you that soup.
00:43:23Because I know it was your mom's recipe.
00:43:27It was those little moments with you.
00:43:31You know, whenever we would wake up
00:43:32and come out of our rooms and see each other
00:43:35in the morning,
00:43:37sometimes that was the happiest part of my day.
00:43:39Please come back to me.
00:43:50Please come back to me.
00:43:54This is all your fault, Mia.
00:43:57You drove him to this.
00:43:59You hurt him.
00:44:00And now,
00:44:02look what's happened to him.
00:44:11Mia, we have a problem.
00:44:13Eleanor and Alex are plotting to make Alex the new CEO
00:44:16while Joshua's in a coma.
00:44:17Now even Joshua's father's been convinced.
00:44:19So they're using Joshua's condition to their advantage.
00:44:22I won't stand for it.
00:44:24What's the plan?
00:44:26I'm meeting with Mr. Lane.
00:44:27He's a key shareholder of Lane Holdings.
00:44:30His voice can sway their mind.
00:44:31Thank you for agreeing to meet me
00:44:35on such short notice, Mr. Lane.
00:44:37I've always been curious
00:44:38about the famous Mia Gerber.
00:44:39After all,
00:44:40you're the one who led Gerber Corporation
00:44:42to the next level.
00:44:43You too, Kyle.
00:44:44I'm merely stating a fact.
00:44:46Not everyone in the second generation
00:44:47is as capable as you.
00:44:50So, tell me.
00:44:51Why do you want to see me?
00:44:53Is it about Alex being the new CEO?
00:44:56You're a wise man, Mr. Lane.
00:44:59Joshua's vision has been the driving force
00:45:01behind Lane Holdings.
00:45:03We cannot allow Alex to derail that.
00:45:06I can't do anything at this time.
00:45:08Joshua is out of commission.
00:45:10It's best to have someone lead the company.
00:45:13Gerald is not in good health
00:45:14after a stroke.
00:45:17Alex is the only choice.
00:45:19And what if I told you
00:45:20there's another choice?
00:45:25And what if I told you
00:45:26there's another choice?
00:45:28I can be the interim CEO
00:45:31of Lane Holdings
00:45:32as Joshua's legal wife.
00:45:33I can uphold his legacy
00:45:35and, as you mentioned before,
00:45:37I'm a very capable CEO
00:45:38in my own right.
00:45:40Your vote, of course, is crucial,
00:45:42but more than anything,
00:45:44people trust your judgment.
00:45:46If you choose to have faith in me,
00:45:48others will follow.
00:45:49And I promise,
00:45:50I won't disappoint.
00:45:52Can you run two companies
00:45:54at the same time?
00:45:55I have a very capable team
00:45:57over at Gerber Corporation.
00:45:59They'll keep things running smoothly
00:46:00even if I'm not there full-time.
00:46:02I'll devote my time to Lane Holdings
00:46:04until Joshua gets better.
00:46:06What if he doesn't?
00:46:08He will.
00:46:10I admire your tenacity.
00:46:13I'll do what I can.
00:46:14Thank you, Mr. Lane.
00:46:15I'll fight for you, Joshua.
00:46:37You did the same for me.
00:46:42I won't let you down.
00:46:45Given Joshua's current condition,
00:46:52I propose Mia Gerber
00:46:53as the interim CEO
00:46:55of Lane Holdings.
00:46:57Mia Gerber?
00:46:58She's from a different company.
00:47:00How is she even qualified?
00:47:01Mia is Joshua's wife,
00:47:03the legal heir.
00:47:04She's proven her capabilities
00:47:06with Gerber Corporation.
00:47:07Combining the strengths
00:47:08of both companies
00:47:09and her leadership
00:47:10will only make Lane Holdings strong.
00:47:13This is absurd.
00:47:14Mia is practically
00:47:15a stranger
00:47:16to our company's operations.
00:47:19While I appreciate
00:47:20your concerns,
00:47:22I think my track record
00:47:23speaks for itself.
00:47:25And unlike Alex here,
00:47:26who has had his hand
00:47:27in multiple questionable
00:47:28business dealings,
00:47:30I offer a clean slate
00:47:32and a fresh perspective.
00:47:34I agree with Mr. Lane.
00:47:36Mia's appointment
00:47:37as interim CEO
00:47:38is the best course of action
00:47:39for now.
00:47:41But Dad,
00:47:42stop, Alex.
00:47:43Joshua, I hope you're proud.
00:47:55Let's go.
00:47:57Ain't gonna take over,
00:47:57no consequences, Mia?
00:48:00I'm gonna make her, pay?
00:48:03You won't be touching her.
00:48:04Who the fuck are you?
00:48:11Damn it, she's caught.
00:48:13Take care of you.
00:48:22See the security camera?
00:48:24I'm gonna get the footage.
00:48:25And if you ever try
00:48:26and hurt me again,
00:48:27I'll call the police.
00:48:29You'll never become
00:48:29the CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:48:31Ever.
00:48:32God damn it!
00:48:44Thanks.
00:48:52Noah, what happened?
00:48:54Don't worry, I'm fine.
00:48:55You're, you're not
00:48:57fine, you're bleeding.
00:49:01Are you okay?
00:49:06Thanks, but the,
00:49:08the reason I came over
00:49:09was I wanted to
00:49:10finish our conversation
00:49:11from before.
00:49:12Mrs. Lane,
00:49:13it's Mr. Lane,
00:49:14he's waking up
00:49:14from the coma.
00:49:18I, I have to go
00:49:19to the hospital.
00:49:20I just want to tell you
00:49:21something important.
00:49:22No, no, nothing's more
00:49:22important than Joshua
00:49:23right now.
00:49:23Okay.
00:49:23Okay.
00:49:23Okay.
00:49:25Joshua, Joshua, Joshua.
00:49:30It's fucking Joshua.
00:49:35When you wake up,
00:49:37we can be together.
00:49:40Mia doesn't deserve you.
00:49:43But you and I,
00:49:46we're meant to be.
00:49:51Mia.
00:49:53Joshua, you're awake.
00:49:55Mia.
00:49:59Excuse me, miss.
00:50:02Mr. Lane?
00:50:05Mr. Lane?
00:50:06Mia.
00:50:08Can you hear me, sir?
00:50:09Mia.
00:50:10Call his wife,
00:50:11Mia Gerber, immediately.
00:50:13Mr. Lane,
00:50:13I need you to concentrate
00:50:14for me.
00:50:15Do you remember
00:50:15what day it is?
00:50:17Mia.
00:50:18Yes, we're getting
00:50:19your wife right now, sir.
00:50:20Josh, I'm sorry.
00:50:28I'm sorry, this is all
00:50:28my fault.
00:50:29No, Mia.
00:50:31Don't blame yourself.
00:50:34It's a price I was willing
00:50:35to pay.
00:50:35You got hurt because of me.
00:50:37Mia, listen to me.
00:50:42I'm sorry for all the pain
00:50:43I caused you.
00:50:44I'm not being honest
00:50:47about my feelings.
00:50:49I was afraid
00:50:50to admit it,
00:50:52even to myself.
00:50:53I can't hide it anymore.
00:50:56I love you, Mia.
00:50:59I never thought I'd hear you
00:51:00say those words.
00:51:02You should have said them sooner.
00:51:06I love you too, Joshua.
00:51:07Noah Bellini.
00:51:36Drinking alone?
00:51:36What do you want, Dwayne?
00:51:38Just to talk.
00:51:39You are underappreciated, Noah.
00:51:44Maybe we could help
00:51:45each other out.
00:51:52Thank you for standing
00:51:53out for me while I was
00:51:54out.
00:51:56I heard you manage
00:51:57as interim CEO
00:51:58of Lane Holdings.
00:51:59I handled things.
00:52:02I actually have a business
00:52:03meeting later today
00:52:04with a potential partner.
00:52:06Who's the partner?
00:52:07Kevin Katz.
00:52:10He's a key player
00:52:11in the industry.
00:52:13Katz?
00:52:14He's notorious for being
00:52:15pansy
00:52:17with business partners.
00:52:18I don't like the idea
00:52:19of you two being alone.
00:52:21I can handle Katz.
00:52:23We've dealt with worse.
00:52:25Just be careful,
00:52:26all right?
00:52:27I will.
00:52:28I promise.
00:52:33I promise.
00:52:36I got it.
00:52:39I love you.
00:52:40I love you.
00:52:40So our collaboration
00:52:50will be mutually beneficial,
00:52:51especially when expanding
00:52:52into new markets.
00:52:53Absolutely, Mia.
00:52:54I've always admired Lane Holdings.
00:52:57Now with you at the helm,
00:52:59perhaps we can find ways
00:53:01to make our partnership
00:53:02more enjoyable.
00:53:07Mr. Katz,
00:53:08let's keep this
00:53:08strictly professional.
00:53:09Oh, come on, Mia.
00:53:12Don't be such a prude.
00:53:14Business is more fun
00:53:15when there's a
00:53:16personal touch.
00:53:20Don't you agree?
00:53:21I will not be doing
00:53:25business with people
00:53:25who cannot respect
00:53:26personal boundaries.
00:53:29You'll regret this,
00:53:30bitch.
00:53:31If I could ruin
00:53:32Lane Holdings' reputation,
00:53:36now you have
00:53:37one last chance.
00:53:38Oh!
00:53:42That's for being
00:53:43a disgusting pig.
00:53:51Hey.
00:53:56How'd the meeting go?
00:53:59Let's just say Kevin Katz
00:54:01won't be bothering us anymore.
00:54:03What did he do?
00:54:04I handled it.
00:54:06Okay?
00:54:08Let's just focus on
00:54:09getting you better
00:54:10and back in charge.
00:54:12Can I get you some water?
00:54:21Ethan, get the bodyguard
00:54:25and meet me downstairs.
00:54:26I can't explain right now,
00:54:27just do it.
00:54:34Where's Joshua?
00:54:35Mr. Lane checked out.
00:54:36He insisted he was
00:54:37well enough to leave.
00:54:38No, he's not fully
00:54:39recovered yet.
00:54:45What are you trying to do?
00:54:46Teach you a lesson
00:54:47that you can't touch
00:54:48Joshua Lane's woman.
00:54:51You can't do this, Lane.
00:54:58I can sue you
00:54:59and you'll end up in jail.
00:55:02This is you, Mr. Katz.
00:55:04Doing something
00:55:05quite illegal.
00:55:06I must say,
00:55:08your taste is really
00:55:08reprehensible.
00:55:09You can't sue me.
00:55:12It was a long time ago.
00:55:14If I could still
00:55:14release the video,
00:55:15you'll lose everything.
00:55:18In fact,
00:55:19I'll just tell you.
00:55:19If the victim's identity
00:55:21was protected
00:55:22and they'll be set
00:55:23for the rest of their life.
00:55:26You!
00:55:26If you so much
00:55:28as speak a word
00:55:29about me or me,
00:55:30I'll make sure
00:55:31you wish you were born.
00:55:37Where were you?
00:55:38I was worried sick.
00:55:39I had to take care
00:55:40of something.
00:55:41About cats.
00:55:42I told you
00:55:44I handled it.
00:55:45I can take care of myself.
00:55:46I won't allow anyone
00:55:47laying their hands on you.
00:55:48Still,
00:55:49it's so reckless!
00:55:53It's okay now.
00:55:55You handled it?
00:55:57Yeah.
00:55:57I'm flattered
00:55:58by the jealousy.
00:56:01I really do love you, Joshua.
00:56:05I love you too, Nia.
00:56:09I have a surprise for you.
00:56:10I made something for you.
00:56:23What's this?
00:56:24It's your mom's recipe.
00:56:26I found it in a cookbook
00:56:28in the library.
00:56:32I can't believe you made this.
00:56:34I thought it might bring you
00:56:35some comfort.
00:56:36I thought it might bring you some comfort.
00:56:40This is exactly
00:56:46how she used to make it.
00:56:48How'd you get it so right?
00:56:50I may have had some help
00:56:51from the internet
00:56:52in about 50 practice runs.
00:56:55You're just the best.
00:57:04We have a plan
00:57:05that could ship the balance of power
00:57:07in our favor.
00:57:10Our plan
00:57:11didn't overthrow
00:57:12Mia Gerber
00:57:13and the Gerber Corporation.
00:57:15But this time,
00:57:16we will.
00:57:18I just,
00:57:18I don't want Mia
00:57:19going to lose everything.
00:57:20I promise you,
00:57:21she won't.
00:57:23With the Gerber family's fortune,
00:57:25Mia's set for life.
00:57:26She just
00:57:27won't be the CEO anymore.
00:57:29Think about this.
00:57:31With the Gerber family
00:57:32out of practice,
00:57:33Lane Holdings,
00:57:35they won't partner with them.
00:57:36Joshua and Wayne
00:57:37will probably divorce Mia
00:57:38because
00:57:39she has no use to him.
00:57:40Mia could finally be yours.
00:57:43Here's the plan.
00:57:45We target
00:57:46Gerber Corporation's
00:57:47medical device supplier network.
00:57:49Disrupting it
00:57:50will cause significant issues
00:57:51in the hospital
00:57:52and psychiatric care units.
00:57:55And we proceed.
00:57:57Melody Healthcare
00:57:58has insiders
00:57:59inside their supply chain.
00:58:01We'll start by creating delays
00:58:03and quality issues.
00:58:04The fallout
00:58:05will be immediate
00:58:05and devastating.
00:58:07The resources
00:58:08stretch so thin,
00:58:11they won't even see us coming.
00:58:12Congratulations on your recovery, Joshua.
00:58:21It's good to see you up and about.
00:58:23Thanks for coming.
00:58:25And thank you for, um,
00:58:27being there for me
00:58:28during the coma.
00:58:30It means a lot.
00:58:32But it didn't matter,
00:58:33did it?
00:58:35In the end,
00:58:37only Mia matters to you.
00:58:39Susie,
00:58:40you'll always matter to me.
00:58:42But,
00:58:44yes,
00:58:45I love Mia.
00:58:46I'll always love you too,
00:58:48but
00:58:48as a friend.
00:58:50That's not going to be enough for me.
00:58:53It's time for me to live my own life.
00:58:56That's why I'm here.
00:58:58To say goodbye.
00:59:00Um,
00:59:01what's your plan?
00:59:03I'm helping out my dad
00:59:04with our family company,
00:59:06Harper Medical Devices.
00:59:09That's
00:59:09Gerber Corporation's
00:59:10biggest supplier, right?
00:59:12Yeah.
00:59:13Susie,
00:59:14you wouldn't...
00:59:14Don't worry, Joshua.
00:59:16We're not going to do anything to Mia.
00:59:18I'm focusing on my own path now.
00:59:23Goodbye,
00:59:24Joshua.
00:59:24Why are there so many
00:59:40canceled contracts
00:59:41with Gerber Corporation?
00:59:43Hey,
00:59:44you haven't noticed
00:59:47any suppliers
00:59:48backing out of deals
00:59:49with Gerber Corporation.
00:59:50There are rumors
00:59:53someone's been
00:59:54persuading them
00:59:55to cut ties
00:59:56with the Gerbers.
01:00:06Hello?
01:00:10What do you mean
01:00:11they've stopped
01:00:12supplying to us?
01:00:13Noah,
01:00:25the suppliers
01:00:26are backing out
01:00:26for no reason.
01:00:28It's competitive
01:00:29marketing, Mia.
01:00:30Yeah,
01:00:30but this feels
01:00:31coordinated.
01:00:32Isn't that unusual?
01:00:33Yeah, it is.
01:00:34I'm going to look into it.
01:00:37Hey,
01:00:38are you okay?
01:00:39Yeah,
01:00:39I'm fine.
01:00:40Just busy.
01:00:41Don't worry about me.
01:00:43Okay.
01:00:51You look like
01:00:52you've been through
01:00:53a war zone.
01:00:54What happened?
01:00:55It's the supplier crisis.
01:00:58The situation's
01:00:59worse than I thought.
01:01:02I don't know
01:01:03what to do,
01:01:04Joshua.
01:01:07We'll get through
01:01:08this together.
01:01:13Thank you all for coming.
01:01:21We understand
01:01:22your concerns
01:01:23and we're prepared
01:01:24to increase profits
01:01:25to maintain
01:01:26our partnerships.
01:01:27now the offer
01:01:39looks good.
01:01:41But we heard
01:01:41some rumors
01:01:42of internal issues
01:01:42within the
01:01:43corporation company
01:01:44involving a higher level.
01:01:46Let me assure you
01:01:48Gerber Corporation
01:01:49is as strong
01:01:50as ever.
01:01:52These rumors
01:01:52are unfounded.
01:01:53You're right.
01:02:05There are gaps
01:02:05in Noah's whereabouts.
01:02:07Keep digging,
01:02:08Ethan.
01:02:08We need concrete evidence.
01:02:09Mia,
01:02:15Noah might be involved
01:02:16with the issues
01:02:16at the company.
01:02:18There's no way
01:02:19he's very loyal
01:02:20to the company.
01:02:21Although he has
01:02:22been acting weird lately.
01:02:24Have you ever
01:02:24considered he might
01:02:25have feelings for you?
01:02:27I mean,
01:02:27feelings make us
01:02:28do things.
01:02:30Noah,
01:02:31Noah's a brother
01:02:32to me.
01:02:33He's never even
01:02:33said anything
01:02:34remotely romantic.
01:02:36Actions speak
01:02:37louder than words.
01:02:39I mean,
01:02:40sure,
01:02:40he's supportive
01:02:41and caring,
01:02:42but that's just
01:02:42Noah being Noah.
01:02:44I really don't think
01:02:44there's anything
01:02:45more to it.
01:02:47Sometimes the people
01:02:48closest to us
01:02:49surprise us the most.
01:02:56Hey,
01:02:57just wanted to check in.
01:02:58We haven't had
01:02:58any time to talk lately.
01:03:00I've been good.
01:03:01I've just been busy
01:03:01dealing with the
01:03:02supplier crisis.
01:03:03I know,
01:03:04and I'm really grateful
01:03:05for you.
01:03:06You've done so much.
01:03:07I never wanted you
01:03:08to be burdened.
01:03:08I care too much
01:03:10about you.
01:03:15Hey,
01:03:16I have a question.
01:03:20You don't
01:03:21secretly have
01:03:22feelings
01:03:24for me,
01:03:25do you?
01:03:29What if I do?
01:03:32Oh,
01:03:32really?
01:03:35I've put this
01:03:37off for too long
01:03:38and I need to tell
01:03:41you now,
01:03:42I've loved you
01:03:44since the first
01:03:45time I met you.
01:03:46I still remember that
01:03:49day like it was
01:03:50yesterday.
01:03:52We were just
01:03:52starting college
01:03:53and came to visit
01:03:54the office during
01:03:55summer break.
01:03:57We wore a blue
01:03:57dress and looked
01:03:58like a princess.
01:04:01I was just
01:04:01starting off the
01:04:02company.
01:04:03I come from a
01:04:04humble background,
01:04:05so I never thought
01:04:06I could be with
01:04:07someone like you.
01:04:09Not anymore.
01:04:09I'm stronger.
01:04:13I'm more capable now.
01:04:15I know we should be
01:04:16together here.
01:04:20Noah,
01:04:21I've really
01:04:25only ever seen you
01:04:26as a friend.
01:04:27It's because Joshua's
01:04:32done things for you.
01:04:33I've done more.
01:04:35No.
01:04:36I love him,
01:04:37okay?
01:04:38We understand
01:04:38each other.
01:04:40Because you're both
01:04:41born with silver
01:04:41spoons in your mouth
01:04:42and I wasn't?
01:04:43You know it's not
01:04:45that.
01:04:46I just,
01:04:46I have a really
01:04:47strong feeling
01:04:49about him.
01:04:49I'm...
01:04:50Just not for me.
01:04:54Noah,
01:04:55I'm sorry.
01:04:57I didn't mean
01:04:58to lead you on
01:04:58and it wasn't
01:05:00my intention
01:05:01to hurt you.
01:05:04It's okay.
01:05:07I understand.
01:05:10I just needed
01:05:11to hear it from you.
01:05:13I know.
01:05:18Dwayne,
01:05:20double down
01:05:20on the plan.
01:05:22There's no
01:05:23going back now.
01:05:27Noah,
01:05:31what brings
01:05:34you here?
01:05:35I think it's
01:05:35time for your
01:05:36company to
01:05:36reconsider its
01:05:37partnership with
01:05:38Gerber.
01:05:38I'm not sure
01:05:39what you're
01:05:39implying.
01:05:40It's simple.
01:05:42Harper Medical
01:05:42Devices is the
01:05:43biggest supplier
01:05:44for Gerber
01:05:44Corporation.
01:05:46If you cut ties
01:05:47with Gerber,
01:05:48it'll deal a
01:05:49critical blow to them.
01:05:51So,
01:05:52you're the one
01:05:53behind the
01:05:54scheme.
01:05:57Why would
01:05:57I go along
01:05:58with it?
01:05:59The question
01:06:00is,
01:06:00why wouldn't
01:06:00you?
01:06:01You and I
01:06:02are alike,
01:06:02Susie.
01:06:04I love people
01:06:05who don't
01:06:05love us back.
01:06:07I've already
01:06:07let it go.
01:06:09Why let it go
01:06:09when you still
01:06:10have a chance?
01:06:12If me and the
01:06:12Gerber family
01:06:13are out of
01:06:13the company,
01:06:14the Lane family
01:06:15won the
01:06:15business alliance.
01:06:17Joshua and
01:06:17Mia will get
01:06:18divorced.
01:06:20You and I
01:06:21can finally
01:06:21be with them.
01:06:26Join me.
01:06:28Together we
01:06:28can make sure
01:06:29we aren't
01:06:29ignoring it anymore.
01:06:34So, Mia,
01:06:36we've heard
01:06:36smart suppliers
01:06:37are terminating
01:06:38contracts.
01:06:39Trust me,
01:06:39we have the
01:06:40situation under
01:06:40control.
01:06:41That's not
01:06:41what I heard.
01:06:43The rumor
01:06:43is Harper
01:06:43Medical
01:06:44Devices
01:06:44pulling out.
01:06:46How do you
01:06:47explain this?
01:06:48I assure you
01:06:49we're addressing
01:06:49the concerns,
01:06:50but our
01:06:51relationship
01:06:51with our
01:06:51suppliers
01:06:52has never
01:06:52been stronger.
01:06:54As one of
01:06:54the largest
01:06:54shareholders,
01:06:55I have
01:06:56complete faith
01:06:56in Mia's
01:06:57leadership.
01:06:58These rumors
01:06:59are just that,
01:07:00rumors.
01:07:06The rumor
01:07:07was right.
01:07:09Harper Medical
01:07:09Devices decided
01:07:10to terminate
01:07:11the contract
01:07:11with us.
01:07:12But there's
01:07:13still hope.
01:07:14I've convinced
01:07:15Harper to continue
01:07:15their partnership
01:07:16with us,
01:07:17but only if I
01:07:19become the
01:07:20new CEO.
01:07:22It's time
01:07:23for a change
01:07:23in leadership.
01:07:24Someone who
01:07:25could steer
01:07:25this company
01:07:26in the right
01:07:26direction.
01:07:27So I've
01:07:27brought Susie
01:07:28Harper with
01:07:29me, the
01:07:29acting CEO
01:07:30of Harper
01:07:31Medical
01:07:31Devices.
01:07:34Susie will
01:07:34tell you all
01:07:35that she would
01:07:36like Mia Gerber
01:07:37to resign.
01:07:41Actually,
01:07:42I think
01:07:42there's been
01:07:43a misunderstanding.
01:07:45Harper
01:07:45Medical
01:07:45Devices
01:07:46never intended
01:07:47to terminate
01:07:47our contracts
01:07:48with Harper
01:07:48Corporation.
01:07:50Any rumor
01:07:50suggesting
01:07:51otherwise
01:07:51is false.
01:07:54Furthermore,
01:07:55I believe
01:07:57in Mia's
01:07:57leadership
01:07:58and the
01:07:58direction
01:07:59that she's
01:07:59taking this
01:08:00company.
01:08:01Thank you,
01:08:02Susie.
01:08:03I owe you
01:08:03a big one.
01:08:05You don't owe
01:08:05me anything.
01:08:07I just want
01:08:07Joshua and the
01:08:08person he loves
01:08:08to be happy.
01:08:12Promise me.
01:08:14Never hurt him.
01:08:17And I have
01:08:19evidence that
01:08:20Noah Balani
01:08:20has been
01:08:21conspiring with
01:08:22former ousted
01:08:23executive
01:08:23Dwayne Kaiser
01:08:24to sabotage
01:08:25the company.
01:08:28Mr. Balani,
01:08:30your actions
01:08:31have endangered
01:08:31the company
01:08:32and everybody
01:08:33in it.
01:08:34You're therefore
01:08:35terminated
01:08:35immediately.
01:08:47It's quite the view.
01:09:08I've thought a lot
01:09:09about what happened
01:09:09and I wanted
01:09:11to say sorry.
01:09:12I should have
01:09:14been clearer
01:09:15and I didn't
01:09:16mean to lead
01:09:17you on.
01:09:19I was lost,
01:09:20Mia.
01:09:21My actions,
01:09:23my obsession.
01:09:26I'm sorry
01:09:27for everything.
01:09:31We both
01:09:31made mistakes.
01:09:33We're just glad
01:09:34we can put it
01:09:34all behind us.
01:09:38You were a good
01:09:39friend, Noah.
01:09:39You were more
01:09:41than a friend
01:09:42than me, Mia.
01:09:44I've learned
01:09:44to let go.
01:09:49I just want
01:09:49you to be happy.
01:09:53I am.
01:09:56I hope you find
01:09:56your happiness, too.
01:10:00Take care, Noah.
01:10:04Me, too.
01:10:09We are gathered
01:10:22here today
01:10:23to witness
01:10:24the reaffirmation
01:10:25of vows
01:10:26between Mia
01:10:27and Joshua Lane.
01:10:32Joshua,
01:10:33our marriage
01:10:33was out of necessity,
01:10:35but you've become
01:10:36my partner,
01:10:37my rock,
01:10:39my best friend.
01:10:42Mia, you've given
01:10:43me the gift
01:10:43of a real family
01:10:44who will vow
01:10:45to cherish
01:10:46and love you
01:10:47forever.
01:10:48This is just
01:10:49the beginning
01:10:50of our forever.
01:11:31Thanks.
01:11:33Take care.
