00:00:00Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:10What the hell is going on here?
00:00:13Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:16Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do.
00:00:21Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:25They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:29Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:35Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunchtime.
00:00:45Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:47Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:00:50Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.
00:00:58But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
00:01:06Do I know you?
00:01:09Wait, what are you doing?
00:01:13What are you doing?
00:01:14You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.
00:01:16Why are you messing with our company funds?
00:01:18This is incredible.
00:01:20What's going on?
00:01:22The turning is him.
00:01:23It's failing.
00:01:24The price is holding.
00:01:27Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:34We met before.
00:01:35They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard Day.
00:01:38Hold on.
00:01:39Tell me.
00:01:40How could I ever repay for this?
00:01:42If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:52Jason, can we have fire now?
00:02:01Mr. Yates.
00:02:02What?
00:02:03Only two bodyguards this time?
00:02:05You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:07No, ma'am.
00:02:08I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:02:09Now, listen.
00:02:10Everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Laws Group.
00:02:26Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:30Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:36Look, today is Ben's birthday.
00:02:38Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:41Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:46Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:02:51Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you onto the house. For my sake.
00:03:06Ma'am, divorce papers. Sign 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, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:03:25The Shepard Group.
00:03:26And 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.
00:03:40Oh, you. A cleaning woman. Handing out million dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.
00:03:50I did. It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:54I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:58What are you doing here?
00:04:00Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:04Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:07Local royalty.
00:04:09A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:12And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:04:15Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it, Ben?
00:04:21What's going on?
00:04:24Is this why you want a divorce?
00:04:27Because of her?
00:04:28Oh, please.
00:04:29I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:04:31You're still a cleaner.
00:04:33We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:35Growing apart?
00:04:38No.
00:04:39No, I won't sign any agreement then.
00:04:45I won't sign.
00:04:47Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:52Ben.
00:04:53Alright.
00:04:54Here.
00:04:55A hundred thousand dollars.
00:04:56Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:59A hundred thousand dollars?
00:05:01I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:07Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:10Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:11You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:14This is our act of charity to work.
00:05:17Here.
00:05:18A million dollars.
00:05:19Take this.
00:05:20You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:22Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:25I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this since none of you respect me.
00:05:35A cleaning lady.
00:05:37Threatening us.
00:05:38I'm so scared.
00:05:40Just leave.
00:05:41You already make this house stink.
00:05:51Thank God she's gone.
00:05:52Good riddance to her.
00:05:54Thank God.
00:05:57Sir?
00:05:58Mora Lewis's information.
00:06:03She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:06:05No wonder why she wanted us to part with him.
00:06:08Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:11Divorce him?
00:06:14Wait a minute.
00:06:15Don't you remember?
00:06:17She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:22Yeah, she's saved out of hiding now, remember?
00:06:26Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:34Let's get to the vinyl news.
00:06:38Hey, what are you doing? Let go of me!
00:06:40You attacked Amber! Apologize this instant!
00:06:46You're stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:48We gave you a generous divorce settlement, you refused it, and now you're stealing!
00:06:53She couldn't afford it. You're a thief!
00:07:02That's mine! Give it back!
00:07:04That's enough!
00:07:07Maura?
00:07:09I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:12It's, it's really no, no worries, Mr. Shepard, but, um, I'm just going through a divorce. You see, it's...
00:07:20Who are you?
00:07:21Maura's new squeeze.
00:07:23Excuse me, do you know who I am?
00:07:25Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son? Shame on you!
00:07:30Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:31For your information, my name is Brian Shepard. I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:37Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:41You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:44That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:49That's ridiculous! He doesn't look like that. My ring.
00:07:53Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:07:55Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:59Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.
00:08:02Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:07It's a lie, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:08:10All rabbed dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.
00:08:15We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:18Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. Now go back.
00:08:22What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie!
00:08:26Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura! You come back here and explain yourself!
00:08:30Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!
00:08:35Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:40Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:45I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:47After how they treated you. Maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:52No! Um...
00:08:54No. The event will proceed.
00:08:57Besides, I'll be there.
00:09:02There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:05Who are you, truly?
00:09:07You'll find out.
00:09:08Mr. Shepard.
00:09:09Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:16Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're gonna have a meeting. An investment meeting. One week from today.
00:09:29Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:34Because after that meeting, I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:40Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis. I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:44Ben Harrison, you're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:52After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:03Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:06Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:09Security! Get that woman out of here! We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:10:14Why wouldn't I be here? This is a business event, after all.
00:10:18Business? You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:10:22A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey. Just get out!
00:10:26Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:30You should've taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:32Oh, Ben. Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:36Laura, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:40You don't belong here. Just get out!
00:10:43That's what you get.
00:10:54This contract is mine. To give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:01Don't be ridiculous! This is insane! Who do you think you are?
00:11:05Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:08Security! She's lost a mind! This is a disaster!
00:11:11Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:19You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:21You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:23You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:48You're so silly, Lori.
00:11:49Oh, please, honey.
00:11:51You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:54Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:57I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:12:01And after careful consideration, I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working
00:12:08with the Shepherds.
00:12:09You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've
00:12:13done?
00:12:14You have no authority here.
00:12:15Of course she has the authority.
00:12:17That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:12:26What is he doing here?
00:12:27Mr. Shepard?
00:12:28How does he know her?
00:12:29Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:32Laura, are you alright?
00:12:34Mr. Shepard?
00:12:35I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.
00:12:38There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:40There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:43This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.
00:12:47Effective immediately.
00:12:49Wait a minute.
00:12:50This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:53It's her.
00:12:54She ruined the contract.
00:12:55You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:57An affair?
00:12:58She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:13:03Mom, please.
00:13:04It's okay.
00:13:05This man is...
00:13:06Don't touch me.
00:13:07That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair and you just stand
00:13:12there?
00:13:13You're a disgrace.
00:13:14An adulterer.
00:13:15You deserve to be our...
00:13:16Shut up!
00:13:19Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess.
00:13:22But I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:13:25Tricked?
00:13:27Why don't you answer a question yourself then?
00:13:31What was my name before we got married?
00:13:35Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:37Lewis Group?
00:13:38The Financial Giants?
00:13:40There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:43That's crazy.
00:13:46There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:49That's absurd.
00:13:50It's...
00:13:51It's...
00:13:52It's...
00:13:53It's absurd!
00:13:54A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:13:57Yeah.
00:13:58Yeah, it's a lie.
00:13:59It's a lie.
00:14:00This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:14:02In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:14:06She's nothing special.
00:14:07She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:09I was just a waitress.
00:14:12How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:14First time I met her, she was in need of waitress at the diner.
00:14:18Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:14:19When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:22Mm-hmm.
00:14:23Now look at me.
00:14:24I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:26And look at her.
00:14:27Still just a clear.
00:14:29Mr. Shepherd, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:33She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:35She's lying, Mr. Shepherd.
00:14:37She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:42Let's make something clear.
00:14:45I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:49I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:55Don't lie.
00:14:56You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:14:59Oops.
00:15:00That roof was built with lies.
00:15:03Kathy, you never respected me.
00:15:05And Ben?
00:15:06Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:10And the cheating.
00:15:12I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:15:15You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:15:20If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy.
00:15:27Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:30From everything.
00:15:36Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:15:37Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:40And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:42I don't think so.
00:15:43You're a cleaner.
00:15:44You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:46Nobody cares about you.
00:15:48Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:53I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
00:16:01Now, I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:16:04I think all jobs are important.
00:16:05Right, Mom?
00:16:06Ben, what are you doing?
00:16:08But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:16:14A janitor.
00:16:15Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:23You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:29Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:16:31This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:36I... but, well...
00:16:38A lie, you say?
00:16:39Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harris Syndrome.
00:16:43But I don't recognize you.
00:16:45Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:47Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:49This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:53But...
00:16:54The contract...
00:16:55I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:16:56So, can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:16:58Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:16:59Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis involvement.
00:17:00I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:03Today, I want to make it clear, Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:13Miss Smith, you lied to us.
00:17:26You destroyed everything.
00:17:28Miss Smith, you lied to us. You destroyed everything.
00:17:34What? No, it's a misunderstanding. I can explain.
00:17:38Lewis? Lewis Family Group? This can't be.
00:17:42Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:45Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:50Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:54And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:18:01Everyone, listen to me.
00:18:03Shepherd Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
00:18:08A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:15The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:17Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:22Miss Lewis?
00:18:24Shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:32Help!
00:18:33Mom!
00:18:34Someone get a doctor!
00:18:35Mom!
00:18:36It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepherd.
00:18:42Indeed.
00:18:43Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:45What?
00:18:57What now?
00:18:59Mom, this is not all on me.
00:19:01Not on you.
00:19:03I was trying to help.
00:19:05She cheated on you with Shepherd.
00:19:07Flaunted their affair.
00:19:09Exactly.
00:19:09And those dresses?
00:19:11Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:19:14Miss Smith, how could you do this?
00:19:17We trusted you completely.
00:19:19So, no, no.
00:19:20I got Ben the deal.
00:19:22I had no idea Shepherd would fall for Bora.
00:19:26She's a liar.
00:19:27Oh, stop it, Amber.
00:19:28You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:19:31Lied!
00:19:32You're on my side!
00:19:35And anyways, I have a plan.
00:19:37The Shepherds are no one special.
00:19:39We can expose Laura and all her lies.
00:19:42Go national.
00:19:43We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:47Now, if you'll excuse me,
00:19:49I have a very important phone call to make.
00:19:51Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepherd.
00:19:59Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:20:01It's all right, Laura.
00:20:03You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:20:05Can I ask you something?
00:20:06Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:20:08Maybe a hotel?
00:20:09Don't.
00:20:10Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepherd.
00:20:12I'll be fine.
00:20:14Excuse me, you can just drop me off.
00:20:16Actually, Laura.
00:20:16Actually, Laura.
00:20:18There is something else.
00:20:19Would you consider to go out for dinner sometime?
00:20:22Just casually, of course.
00:20:24Mr. Shepherd, are you asking me out?
00:20:28Please, call me Brian.
00:20:31And yes, technically, you're single now.
00:20:36Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:20:47Proper?
00:20:47Laura, Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:20:53Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:20:57Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:21:01So what do you say?
00:21:02Dinner?
00:21:05Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:06I'm sorry, Mr. Shepherd.
00:21:12I actually have another appointment tonight.
00:21:14So I can't.
00:21:16Wait, Laura.
00:21:16Just here is fine.
00:21:21Laura?
00:21:26Laura, who is it?
00:21:28Laura, wait!
00:21:29Jason, find out who owns that car and do it fast.
00:21:34Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:21:45It's Amber Smith.
00:21:46Mr. Lewis?
00:21:48I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:53I don't know who you are, Miss Smith.
00:21:55How did you get this number?
00:21:57Don't worry about that right now.
00:21:59I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:22:03Someone I know very well.
00:22:06Impersonating my niece?
00:22:08And where is this fake Laura?
00:22:11Right here in Maplewood.
00:22:13And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:17Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:22:21And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:22:25In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:22:30I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:22:33All will be revealed then.
00:22:35Very well.
00:22:36I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.
00:22:39But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:22:42It won't be.
00:22:43Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:22:45Thank you, Mr.
00:22:46That little rascal, Laura.
00:22:55I wonder what she's up to now.
00:23:01That car belongs to Mr. Yeats.
00:23:03The Lewis family bubler.
00:23:06Oh.
00:23:07Lewis family?
00:23:09That's interesting.
00:23:12Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:23:15I'm not sure.
00:23:15Brian.
00:23:18Brian!
00:23:19There you are.
00:23:20I've missed you.
00:23:21Chloe.
00:23:22What are you up to?
00:23:24Chloe.
00:23:25What are you doing here?
00:23:27What do you mean?
00:23:28Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:30We ended things for a reason.
00:23:32It was just one teensy mistake.
00:23:35I was...
00:23:35I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:37Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:39Teensy mistake, you said?
00:23:40You cheated on me.
00:23:46Is this your new fling?
00:23:49Ex-divorcey.
00:23:51Used to clean floor.
00:23:52It's quite the catch, you say.
00:23:54Look, my relationship with her is none of your business.
00:23:59And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:24:02Please.
00:24:04An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:24:08It's a classic story.
00:24:09That's enough.
00:24:10I've got the hell out of my office.
00:24:11You want to be careful, Brian.
00:24:15Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:18If you want Shepard Group to stay afloat,
00:24:21you ought to be more careful.
00:24:26Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:28This is it.
00:24:36The Lewis Group vice presidents are on the top floor.
00:24:39Once I'm done speaking with them,
00:24:40I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:44I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:48Well, well, well.
00:24:49Look who it is.
00:24:51What a surprise.
00:24:52Did Brian teach you already?
00:24:54That's none of your business.
00:24:57Now, move aside, please.
00:24:59Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
00:25:03You really think you can just ruin my events again?
00:25:05Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:25:06Don't you have any shame?
00:25:07If you'll excuse me,
00:25:09I have an important meeting to get to.
00:25:11Oh, the nurse.
00:25:13After everything you've done,
00:25:14you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?
00:25:18Seriously?
00:25:19I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:23Oh, that's gold.
00:25:25You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?
00:25:27Please, you're no one compared to me.
00:25:30You don't deserve to be here.
00:25:32The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:25:36And you, idiot,
00:25:39believing every lie that she tells you.
00:25:40Wake up, Ben.
00:25:42Oh, Laura!
00:25:44Laura, come on.
00:25:45Why do you always pull this on me?
00:25:47I mean, seriously,
00:25:48can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:25:50I know what this is.
00:25:51So stupid.
00:25:54Oh, shut your trap.
00:25:57Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:25:59He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:26:02Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.
00:26:06And unlike some people,
00:26:07I have a real invitation.
00:26:09Well,
00:26:11before you all start celebrating,
00:26:14why don't you take a look
00:26:15at this?
00:26:21Oh, that's rich.
00:26:23You may have Brian Shepard fooled,
00:26:24but you can't fool me.
00:26:26I spoke to Ian Lewis himself,
00:26:28CEO of Lewis Group.
00:26:29Speaking of Brian,
00:26:31where is he right now?
00:26:33You mean my uncle?
00:26:36Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:38Yeah.
00:26:39Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:26:43And besides,
00:26:44this looks fake.
00:26:46She's a liar.
00:26:48This is a personal invitation
00:26:51from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:53It grants me access to the VIP elevator,
00:26:55which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.
00:26:58She's lying.
00:26:59They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:27:05Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?
00:27:09Not that I know of.
00:27:11See?
00:27:12She's lying.
00:27:13There you have it, Laura.
00:27:14Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:27:17Go on,
00:27:17get lost before things get worse.
00:27:22Here,
00:27:23take this one.
00:27:24Lead me to the vice president's.
00:27:25You have
00:27:26no
00:27:27idea
00:27:28about what you just did.
00:27:30There
00:27:31be consequences.
00:27:34Besides,
00:27:35if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis
00:27:38that you claim to have,
00:27:40why don't you just ask him
00:27:41to get the two of them
00:27:43an invitation?
00:27:45Security!
00:27:46Security!
00:27:46We need this woman removed immediately.
00:27:48She is harassing me.
00:27:48We're done with your games, Laura.
00:27:50You're just a fraud.
00:27:51Man,
00:27:52plays with me.
00:27:53What?
00:27:53Hold on!
00:27:57Brian Shepard?
00:27:59You think money buys you the right to walk all over people?
00:28:02Well, it doesn't.
00:28:03Yeah.
00:28:04Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it?
00:28:06Huh?
00:28:06What other plans do you have to destroy this time?
00:28:09Get you out?
00:28:10After what you did to Laura,
00:28:11you had it coming.
00:28:13Don't play dumb.
00:28:15We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:28:17How long has this little affair been going on?
00:28:19You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.
00:28:22Hold on a second.
00:28:24An affair?
00:28:25You think Laura and I...
00:28:27You people are unbelievable.
00:28:32Mr. Carter,
00:28:33get down here ASAP.
00:28:35We have a situation.
00:28:37What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?
00:28:39Is that it?
00:28:40Well, stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:42Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.
00:28:44How can I help you this evening?
00:28:46Thank you, Mr. Carter,
00:28:47for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:49It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:52These people don't think that I belong here.
00:28:55Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you,
00:28:57this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:59A cleaner?
00:28:59Nonsense.
00:29:00I personally agreed to Miss Lewis
00:29:02upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:29:05Exactly.
00:29:06Lewis Group,
00:29:08my company,
00:29:10has some major investments
00:29:12planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:14I was just here investigating
00:29:15potential business opportunities.
00:29:17No, this woman doesn't know
00:29:19the difference between business
00:29:20and a hole in the ground.
00:29:22She's been this way since my son divorced her.
00:29:24She's insane.
00:29:25Actually,
00:29:26I met Laura three years ago
00:29:28at the coffee shop.
00:29:29She helped secure
00:29:31a profitable investment
00:29:32for Sheppard Group.
00:29:33No, it's a lie.
00:29:36Mr. Sheppard,
00:29:36she's tricking you too.
00:29:40You know,
00:29:41it's exhausting
00:29:43trying to argue with people
00:29:44who forget who helped them.
00:29:47Mr. Carter,
00:29:48would you mind showing me
00:29:49to the VIP elevator?
00:29:50Wait,
00:29:51is that why you're covering for her?
00:29:52Huh?
00:29:53Because of the affair?
00:29:54Because she slept with you?
00:29:55Excuse me?
00:29:56Of course.
00:29:56Who are you
00:29:57and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:29:59Enough of this.
00:30:00That's enough.
00:30:01Have you ever embarrassed yourself enough?
00:30:03This is Lewis Group property.
00:30:05Behave or I'll call security.
00:30:07But she doesn't even have
00:30:08a VIP entrance access.
00:30:10She shouldn't be here.
00:30:12Since you're having trouble
00:30:13understanding them,
00:30:15let me make it clear.
00:30:17This hotel
00:30:17is owned by the Lewis family.
00:30:20It's mine
00:30:22to come
00:30:23or go
00:30:23as I please.
00:30:28Thank you
00:30:29for stepping in, Brian.
00:30:30I owe you one.
00:30:33We'll talk about this later.
00:30:35Well,
00:30:36it seems divorcing
00:30:37a powerful woman
00:30:38wasn't the best decision,
00:30:39Mr. Rivers.
00:30:40Come in.
00:30:50Excuse me,
00:30:51Vice Presidents.
00:30:52I'm Amber Smith,
00:30:54General Manager
00:30:55of the Lewis Group
00:30:55Maplewood Branch.
00:30:57I believe Ian Lewis
00:30:58told you about
00:30:58our meeting today?
00:31:00Maplewood Branch.
00:31:02Our records
00:31:03don't show
00:31:04any Maplewood Branch,
00:31:06Miss Smith.
00:31:07Are you sure
00:31:08you haven't gotten
00:31:08something mixed up?
00:31:11Ian Lewis,
00:31:12Mr. Lewis,
00:31:14reassured me
00:31:15that today
00:31:16we would discuss,
00:31:17well,
00:31:18expansion plans.
00:31:20Expansion plans?
00:31:22Miss Smith?
00:31:23A decision like that
00:31:24wouldn't be taken
00:31:25without board approval.
00:31:27And frankly,
00:31:28we haven't heard
00:31:28anything about
00:31:29Maplewood Branch.
00:31:31But
00:31:31Ian Lewis
00:31:33assured me that
00:31:34Miss Smith,
00:31:35we have a very important
00:31:36guest arriving soon.
00:31:37Perhaps you'd like
00:31:38to schedule a follow-up
00:31:39meeting with
00:31:40one of our staff.
00:31:41Maybe I can
00:31:42stay for this guest
00:31:42and offer some
00:31:43local incident?
00:31:44Miss Smith,
00:31:44we'd like you to leave.
00:31:46If you don't,
00:31:47we'll call security.
00:31:52Hey,
00:31:53stop there.
00:31:54This elevator
00:31:55is a VIP only.
00:31:57Back, please.
00:31:58Of course.
00:31:59My apologies.
00:31:59Laura?
00:32:09Vice Presidents,
00:32:11it's so good
00:32:11to see all of you again.
00:32:14Miss Lewis,
00:32:15it's been too long.
00:32:16Your return
00:32:17is a lifesaver,
00:32:18Miss Lewis.
00:32:19The Lewis group
00:32:20has floundered
00:32:21under your uncle's,
00:32:22well,
00:32:23shall we say,
00:32:24unconventional leadership.
00:32:26The board are begging
00:32:27you to come back,
00:32:28Miss Lewis.
00:32:30Well,
00:32:31please sit.
00:32:32Yes,
00:32:32well,
00:32:33it is time for me
00:32:34to get my career
00:32:35back on track.
00:32:37We've got
00:32:37a meeting planned,
00:32:39a big one,
00:32:40in just a few days.
00:32:42Local powerhouses
00:32:43and smaller players too.
00:32:46They'll all be there
00:32:47in one spot.
00:32:48Miss Lewis,
00:32:49we met with
00:32:50an Amber Smith.
00:32:52She claimed
00:32:53your uncle
00:32:54appointed her
00:32:55general manager
00:32:56of a Maplewood branch
00:32:57for the Lewis group.
00:32:59She said that,
00:33:00did she?
00:33:01Well,
00:33:01Miss Smith
00:33:02is a liar.
00:33:03There is
00:33:04no Maplewood branch,
00:33:05at least not yet.
00:33:06She lied so blatantly,
00:33:08it was,
00:33:08it's unbelievable.
00:33:10Bob,
00:33:10don't worry.
00:33:11I found a much
00:33:12more suitable partner.
00:33:16Shepherd Group.
00:33:17Shepherd Group?
00:33:18Their rise to a public company
00:33:20has been impressive.
00:33:22Do you have anything
00:33:23to do with that?
00:33:25So,
00:33:25what happens now
00:33:27with this
00:33:27Amber Smith?
00:33:29Oh,
00:33:30don't worry about Amber.
00:33:33I've got plans
00:33:34for her.
00:33:37Miss Lewis,
00:33:39consider this
00:33:40your official
00:33:41invitation
00:33:42to the meeting
00:33:43from us.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:56I'm not leaving.
00:33:59What are you talking about?
00:34:00No, come on.
00:34:01I'm Amber Smith.
00:34:02I'm the Lewis group manager
00:34:04of Maplewood branch.
00:34:04What are you doing?
00:34:05These are my guests.
00:34:06Yeah, that's right.
00:34:06Tell them who we are.
00:34:07Yes,
00:34:08we were waiting
00:34:08for Ms. Smith.
00:34:11Lewis group,
00:34:12Maplewood branch.
00:34:13No such thing, ma'am.
00:34:14And frankly,
00:34:15I'm not interested
00:34:16in your act.
00:34:17Of course.
00:34:18Laura.
00:34:20She's probably
00:34:20sleeping with the manager
00:34:22as well.
00:34:22That's how she gets
00:34:23away with everything.
00:34:24You underestimate her,
00:34:25Kathy.
00:34:26She's probably sleeping
00:34:27with all three
00:34:27vice presidents.
00:34:29No way a girl like her
00:34:30could get into a hotel
00:34:31like this.
00:34:32Careful with your words.
00:34:34Both of you.
00:34:35Acquisitions like that
00:34:36can get you
00:34:37in serious trouble.
00:34:40Look who can't
00:34:41even get into a meeting
00:34:42whilst I secure three
00:34:44with all the vice presidents.
00:34:46And let's not forget
00:34:47the mystery guests
00:34:47that they're bringing
00:34:48to Maplewood.
00:34:49Looks like she used you
00:34:51and tossed you aside.
00:34:52Used me?
00:34:53Unlike some people,
00:34:54I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:57You're so stupid.
00:34:58She threw you away
00:34:59like yesterday's trash.
00:35:01Don't worry, Brian.
00:35:02You deserve better.
00:35:04And let's not forget,
00:35:05I'm the new Maplewood
00:35:06branch manager
00:35:07of Lewis Group,
00:35:08appointed by the CEO
00:35:09of Lewis Group themselves,
00:35:11Ian Lewis.
00:35:12New branch manager, huh?
00:35:16Interesting.
00:35:17Laura Lewis?
00:35:18What are you doing here?
00:35:19Get out of here!
00:35:20You claim to be
00:35:21the mystery guest.
00:35:23Don't play games, Laura.
00:35:24I was formally invited
00:35:26by Lewis Group themselves
00:35:27to the investment meeting.
00:35:29Only the top companies
00:35:31get those.
00:35:32Looks like you're
00:35:32all out of luck.
00:35:34Is that so?
00:35:36Well then,
00:35:37there seems to be
00:35:38a misunderstanding.
00:35:40You see,
00:35:41I'm not sure
00:35:42if you know Miss Smith,
00:35:44but Lewis Group
00:35:45is my company
00:35:46and I decide
00:35:47who goes to the meetings.
00:35:51Escort them out.
00:35:52What?
00:35:53Their visit is over.
00:35:54Oh, come on.
00:35:55This way, please.
00:35:57I'm not leaving.
00:35:57Move.
00:36:00We're not leaving again.
00:36:01Move.
00:36:01Oh, no, no, no.
00:36:02We're not going now.
00:36:03Okay, bye, bye, bye.
00:36:04This isn't over, Laura.
00:36:05You'll see.
00:36:09Thanks for waiting, man.
00:36:12Laura,
00:36:13I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:16And thank you
00:36:18for defending me.
00:36:20I really appreciate it.
00:36:22Are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:28Yes, but
00:36:28it's going to be tricky.
00:36:33Why?
00:36:34I'm sure
00:36:35that Shepard Group
00:36:36got an invitation.
00:36:40Yes,
00:36:41Laura.
00:36:43There's something
00:36:44you should know.
00:36:46Is
00:36:46is this about
00:36:48Ben?
00:36:49Because I can
00:36:50assure you
00:36:51that he won't
00:36:51cause any problems.
00:36:53He won't even
00:36:53get past security.
00:36:55Laura,
00:36:56it's not Ben.
00:36:59It's someone else.
00:37:02Someone's causing
00:37:03problems for Shepard Group?
00:37:07Yes.
00:37:09Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:37:10She is daughter
00:37:13of the Duke family.
00:37:16She's my ex-fiancee.
00:37:19And
00:37:19let's say
00:37:21things didn't end
00:37:22so well between us.
00:37:24And
00:37:25let's just say
00:37:28we didn't end
00:37:28things so well.
00:37:31And
00:37:31for some reason
00:37:32she's having
00:37:34a hard time
00:37:34moving on.
00:37:37And
00:37:37you think
00:37:39that
00:37:39she's gonna
00:37:40cause
00:37:41problems
00:37:42at the meeting
00:37:42for
00:37:43out of
00:37:47jealousy?
00:37:50There's a possibility
00:37:51she's kind of jealous.
00:37:53Well
00:37:54all the more
00:37:56reason
00:37:56for you to be there.
00:37:59So
00:37:59I'll be there too.
00:38:04Laura
00:38:05would you
00:38:07consider being
00:38:08my guest
00:38:09at the meeting?
00:38:10What?
00:38:12Are you worried
00:38:12that this Chloe
00:38:13is gonna cause
00:38:14problems for me too?
00:38:16Maybe a little.
00:38:17But mostly
00:38:18I wanna show them
00:38:20we're team.
00:38:21Well
00:38:21it's a very
00:38:22kind offer
00:38:23Mr. Shepard.
00:38:27Laura
00:38:27I don't care
00:38:32about your past.
00:38:34I just want
00:38:35to be by your side.
00:38:36I think
00:38:36I'm falling
00:38:37for you.

00:49:32because i think you should stop
00:49:33traveling
00:49:34out
00:49:35If I can't have Brian, neither can you. The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:49:56Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.
00:50:00Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:50:01Good. I need your help with something.
00:50:05What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.
00:50:09It's Brian.
00:50:10Who's that woman? I thought you were...
00:50:13She's a con woman. She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:18What? Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:24Well, she's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.
00:50:28What are you planning?
00:50:29I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:50:36Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:40I had no idea she would be so...
00:50:43intense.
00:50:47What do you mean?
00:50:48You... you... you so should have taken her up on her offer. I mean, you guys are just...
00:50:54Power couple.
00:50:57I see what you're doing.
00:50:59Power couple, you say?
00:51:01More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:51:06Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:51:08Actually, Brian, my... seat... is... is up there.
00:51:15Really?
00:51:16She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:51:18Excuse me.
00:51:19This is my VIP invitation.
00:51:22I can sit wherever I like.
00:51:25Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:51:26This is signed by all three VPs of Louis Group.
00:51:30Where did you get this?
00:51:33Who did you have to sleep with?
00:51:35That's enough.
00:51:37This is getting us nowhere.
00:51:39Laura is my guest.
00:51:41And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:51:46Got it?
00:51:47Mr. Shepard, what do you see in that woman?
00:51:52Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:51:55She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.
00:51:59What more could you ask for?
00:52:01That's a good question.
00:52:03Not much, actually.
00:52:05Honesty.
00:52:07That's what I want.
00:52:09And love.
00:52:11Things that clearly Chloe has no idea.
00:52:14I said I was sorry.
00:52:17What more do you want?
00:52:18I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:52:20She's like a daughter to me.
00:52:22I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:52:29Anyway.
00:52:31One more chance, Brian.
00:52:33Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:52:36Do it, Mr. Shepard.
00:52:38Propose right here, right now.
00:52:41Brian?
00:52:42Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:52:49By forcing a ring on someone?
00:52:52Do it, or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:53:02Don't you dare.
00:53:04You're humiliating yourself.
00:53:06How dare you?
00:53:08Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:53:10Yes.
00:53:13I like her.
00:53:15But I can't imagine someone like her interesting in me.
00:53:21The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:53:26Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:29Exactly.
00:53:30This woman is Trevor.
00:53:32She doesn't belong here.
00:53:33Throw her out!
00:53:34You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?
00:53:40Interesting turn of events.
00:53:42Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:53:46Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura,
00:53:50that you're the missing heiress, Laura Lewis?
00:53:52You know what?
00:53:56Maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:53:58How ridiculous?
00:54:00Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:54:02I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation,
00:54:07but wow, did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?
00:54:12You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.
00:54:15That's enough.
00:54:17You don't get to talk here.
00:54:18You got mad, Shepard.
00:54:19You dare to go against Miss Duke.
00:54:21And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:54:23Anyone who insults Laura.
00:54:27Leave us with a black eye.
00:54:28It's willing to offend the chick for her.
00:54:30What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:32I want to be careful, Brian.
00:54:34Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:54:38Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:54:42The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone,
00:54:45especially not Shepard Group.
00:54:48Lewis Group RS, you?
00:54:54Don't make me laugh.
00:54:57Security, remove these two imposters from the premises.
00:55:01Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:55:02Give Brian another chance.
00:55:05Choose, Brian.
00:55:06Me and the future you deserve.
00:55:08Or this fraud.
00:55:12Chloe, I have everything I ever wanted right here.
00:55:18In a wooden trade for all the power to Duke's home, Maplewood.
00:55:22Fine.
00:55:28Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:30What?
00:55:30You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:35Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:37The Duke family, they can't be serious.
00:55:40Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:41Brian, you don't have to do this for me.
00:55:46Laura, now we'll never let anyone bully you, let alone them.
00:55:51Thank you, Brian, for believing in me, for protecting me.
00:56:00Now it's my turn to protect you.
00:56:08Listen carefully.
00:56:11I need you to protect the Shepard Group's stock at all costs.
00:56:16Don't let it drop even one cent.
00:56:21Do you understand?
00:56:23Wow.
00:56:24Award-winning performance, Laura.
00:56:27But you can't possibly control the stock market.
00:56:30Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:33If the Shepard stock holds, for the next five minutes, you owe me a public apology.
00:56:51Yeah.
00:56:56Well, looks like your five minutes is up.
00:57:01Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
00:57:08What the?
00:57:09The Shepard Group's stock price is going up.
00:57:13This can't be happening.
00:57:14It must be a coincidence.
00:57:21Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
00:57:25There was a huge investment.
00:57:26We couldn't compete.
00:57:27Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:29How did you do this?
00:57:33Like I said, Chloe, I'm Laura Lewis.
00:57:39No, you're not.
00:57:40You're just some clean-up.
00:57:42You don't have access to billions.
00:57:44Well, I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:47Now, I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:57There is no way I'm apologizing to you.
00:57:59If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:58:03Chloe, the truth is, everyone here has seen you be a bully.
00:58:10And a coward.
00:58:12And now, a sore loser.
00:58:17This is so humiliating for her.
00:58:20How did she manage that?
00:58:22Maybe she really is a Lewis.
00:58:25Apologize to Miss Lewis.
00:58:27Shut up.
00:58:28Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.
00:58:30Don't forget, the Duke found we owned half of Maplewood.
00:58:34There you go, Miss Lewis.
00:58:36Let's get out of here.
00:58:38Hold on.
00:58:40This is where I belong.
00:58:43And that is my chair.
00:58:47You can't go there.
00:58:48That is the VIP section.
00:58:50Only those invited by the Lewis Group vice presidents get to sit there.
00:58:54Like I said, Chloe, that's my seat.
00:59:04Had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
00:59:07Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepard, wasn't it?
00:59:16Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
00:59:18Is this how you charm all your men?
00:59:21Shall we?
00:59:22My pleasure.
00:59:24What are you doing?
00:59:26Let go.
00:59:28It doesn't matter what happened.
00:59:29I choose to stay by Laura's side.
00:59:32Let's go.
00:59:34Don't be absurd.
00:59:35That seat is reserved for a very important guest.
00:59:39Someone so esteemed, even the vice presidents have to bow low.
00:59:46And how exactly, Mr. Jones?
00:59:50Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
00:59:55Wait, that's Peter Young, director of business affairs at Lewis Group.
01:00:03Oh, it's Peter Young.
01:00:04He decides which investments are they?
01:00:05Mr. Young, it's Chloe Duke, head of Duke Industries.
01:00:09So glad you could join us.
01:00:10Why is everyone standing around?
01:00:11It's her.
01:00:12She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat.
01:00:16It's embarrassing.
01:00:17That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
01:00:21Specifically the family heir.
01:00:23Please get off the stage.
01:00:24Oh, yes.
01:00:27Mr. Young, was it?
01:00:29I think I remember you.
01:00:30You manage my family's investments.
01:00:35Don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:00:37Please get off the stage.
01:00:39That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.
01:00:41I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:00:44I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:00:57This is ridiculous.
01:00:59You, the Lewis heir.
01:01:01Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:01:04You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:01:07Exactly.
01:01:08We ran a background check on her,
01:01:10and it turns out she's just some cleaner
01:01:12that used to work for the Harrison Group.
01:01:14Before that,
01:01:15a cashier in my family's supermarket.
01:01:18See, Brian?
01:01:19This is who you've been chasing after.
01:01:21A liar and a cheat.
01:01:23Security.
01:01:24Get this imposter out of here.
01:01:26And everyone here is a witness.
01:01:28Why would any of you trust Laura?
01:01:31If any of you dares to harm her,
01:01:34you have to go through me first.
01:01:37Brian, she's just a nobody.
01:01:40She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.
01:01:43They didn't even want her.
01:01:45What exactly do you see in her?
01:01:46Escort this imposter out of here.
01:01:48Now.
01:01:50I'm Peter.
01:01:58Peter,
01:01:59do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:02:02Mr. Yates,
01:02:04I'm so glad you could join us.
01:02:05Miss Lewis,
01:02:08sorry about the delay
01:02:10and for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:02:12It's no trouble, Mr. Yates.
01:02:16Luckily, I haven't been alone.
01:02:17I've had the great company
01:02:19of my very loyal
01:02:21friend.
01:02:24Wait a minute.
01:02:25She's Miss Lewis.
01:02:26Is this a joke?
01:02:28Mr. Young,
01:02:28you're new to the Lewis Group,
01:02:30so
01:02:31I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.
01:02:35But you listened to lies without checking the facts
01:02:37and almost called the police.
01:02:40Tell me,
01:02:43Mr. Young,
01:02:44who put you up to this?
01:02:46Was it my uncle,
01:02:47or Ian Lewis?
01:02:52I knew it.
01:02:56Consider this your
01:02:57termination.
01:02:59I get it now.
01:03:01This is all an act.
01:03:03Right?
01:03:03Chloe, what are you doing?
01:03:04We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:03:06Work with them?
01:03:07Are you blind?
01:03:08This woman is clearly having an affair
01:03:09with this old man.
01:03:11That's enough, young lady.
01:03:13You've got no right
01:03:14to disrespect the head
01:03:15of the Lewis Group.
01:03:17Oh, Chloe.
01:03:19I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:03:21I think you need
01:03:23some professional help.
01:03:25Maybe I could make you an appointment
01:03:26with a great psychiatrist.
01:03:28Chloe,
01:03:29that's enough.
01:03:30It's ridiculous.
01:03:30If you were really
01:03:31the Lewis family heir,
01:03:32you would have the ring.
01:03:34So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:03:35Show us the ring!
01:03:38Who are you to make demands of me?
01:03:48I don't answer to anyone
01:03:50but myself.
01:03:52I don't need
01:03:53any
01:03:54of your validation.
01:03:58There's a ring.
01:04:03Vice Presidents,
01:04:05I'm Chloe Duke
01:04:06of the Duke family.
01:04:07This woman
01:04:08is an imposter.
01:04:09Miss Lewis,
01:04:11we apologise for the delay.
01:04:13How could you
01:04:13just let that con woman
01:04:14sit there?
01:04:15Get her out of here!
01:04:16This seat
01:04:17was always
01:04:18for Miss Lewis.
01:04:20She's the special guest
01:04:21we've been waiting for.
01:04:23The investment queen.
01:04:25The real heir
01:04:26to Lewis Group.
01:04:28Laura Lewis.
01:04:29She was a divorced
01:04:31host wife.
01:04:31A janitor.
01:04:32How can she?
01:04:33She can't be.
01:04:34It's a lie.
01:04:35I'm telling you
01:04:35it's a lie.
01:04:36Do you think
01:04:37we'd lie?
01:04:38We run
01:04:39Lewis Group.
01:04:41Oh,
01:04:41Chloe,
01:04:42you
01:04:42assaulted me
01:04:44earlier
01:04:44and
01:04:46you came to this meeting
01:04:47to what?
01:04:49Sabotage it.
01:04:50You'll be hearing
01:04:52from our legal team.
01:04:53Is this true,
01:04:57Miss Duke?
01:04:57Did you try
01:04:58and sabotage
01:04:59this meeting?
01:05:01Yes,
01:05:02it's all true.
01:05:03She fooled us all.
01:05:04The Jews tricked us
01:05:05to keep
01:05:06Lewis Group
01:05:07out of Maplewood
01:05:08and control
01:05:09everything themselves.
01:05:10I had no idea.
01:05:12But I'm on your side.
01:05:14I can give you
01:05:15everything you need.
01:05:17All the resources
01:05:18in Maplewood.
01:05:18Miss Lewis,
01:05:20how would you like us
01:05:21to deal with this?
01:05:23an eye
01:05:23for an eye.
01:05:27Since
01:05:28Miss Duke
01:05:29here
01:05:30loves
01:05:31ruining things,
01:05:34I'll target
01:05:35her precious
01:05:36Duke
01:05:37Industries.
01:05:39I want them
01:05:39bankrupt in
01:05:40ten minutes.
01:05:42You're bluffing.
01:05:44You're nobody.
01:05:45You'll always be
01:05:46a nobody
01:05:46and you can't
01:05:47touch me.
01:05:48Then
01:05:48consider this
01:05:50a test,
01:05:51Chloe.
01:05:52I didn't need
01:05:53my family's
01:05:54support with
01:05:55Shepard
01:05:55and I certainly
01:05:56don't need it now.
01:05:57Chloe,
01:05:58you dug your own
01:05:59grave.
01:06:00You think
01:06:01you can destroy
01:06:02Maplewood's leading
01:06:03family with just
01:06:04the Shepard group?
01:06:05Please.
01:06:07Hmm.
01:06:09We'll see.
01:06:09Dad?
01:06:15Slow down.
01:06:17What are you
01:06:18talking about?
01:06:20No.
01:06:22It's impossible.
01:06:24Chloe,
01:06:25what have you done?
01:06:26Years of hard work.
01:06:28Destroyed in minutes.
01:06:28What did you do?
01:06:35Well,
01:06:36Chloe,
01:06:37isn't this what you
01:06:39wanted?
01:06:40To give me a little
01:06:40taste of destruction?
01:06:42This is impossible.
01:06:44It's impossible!
01:06:46Chloe,
01:06:47what have you done?
01:06:49The news is everywhere.
01:06:51Shepard's launched
01:06:51a full-scale assault
01:06:52on the stock market.
01:06:54They're hammering our
01:06:55shares.
01:06:55Are you sure
01:06:57it's just Shepard?
01:06:58Yes!
01:06:59Shareholders
01:07:00are dumping
01:07:00our stock
01:07:01like it's a hot potato.
01:07:03We could go
01:07:04bankrupt.
01:07:05You've ruined
01:07:06everything!
01:07:06Don't worry,
01:07:07Mr. Duke.
01:07:08When your company
01:07:09does go bankrupt,
01:07:11I'll buy it.
01:07:12At a fire sale price.
01:07:14Your employees
01:07:14won't even be affected.
01:07:15Brilliant.
01:07:16Master's
01:07:17showcase, Louis.
01:07:19Now,
01:07:21this
01:07:21is my event.
01:07:24Please leave.
01:07:25Brian,
01:07:26I did this
01:07:26for us.
01:07:27Everything I did,
01:07:28I did for us,
01:07:29Brian!
01:07:32Chloe,
01:07:33you need help.
01:07:35These feelings
01:07:36you have for me,
01:07:37it's not love.
01:07:40It's obsession.
01:07:42Enough.
01:07:43If you don't want
01:07:44to ruin everything
01:07:44completely,
01:07:45you'll come with me
01:07:46right now.
01:07:48Right now.
01:07:50Go!
01:07:51Go!
01:07:51Go!
01:07:51Go!
01:07:51Go!
01:07:52Go!
01:07:59Laura!
01:08:00This isn't over!
01:08:01Get off me!
01:08:03What is it?
01:08:04What?
01:08:04You hear me?
01:08:07What is going on here?
01:08:09Did they finally
01:08:10expose Laura's lies?
01:08:11The Shepard group.
01:08:13They're the new partner
01:08:13that's partnering up
01:08:14with the Louis group
01:08:15from Maplewood.
01:08:17They're handling
01:08:17all future construction projects.
01:08:18That can't be.
01:08:21What about us?
01:08:21That was our project.
01:08:23Remember,
01:08:23Laura teamed up
01:08:24with Brian.
01:08:25Harrison group
01:08:26is practically out.
01:08:27We have no chance.
01:08:28We can't give up
01:08:29that easily.
01:08:30Remember,
01:08:32Ian Lewis himself
01:08:32appointed me
01:08:33as general manager.
01:08:34In a few days,
01:08:35he promised that
01:08:36he would let us
01:08:36meet with the new heir.
01:08:38You're right.
01:08:39If we can just
01:08:39meet with the new heir,
01:08:40we can bypass
01:08:41the Shepherds
01:08:42and meet directly
01:08:43with the Lewis group.
01:08:44We just have to
01:08:45play their little game
01:08:46and see who
01:08:47comes out on top.
01:08:48That's right.
01:08:53Vice Presidents,
01:08:55allow me to
01:08:56introduce my
01:08:56associate,
01:08:58Brian Shepard.
01:08:59I'm sure
01:09:00I've mentioned him more.
01:09:01Mr. Shepard,
01:09:02finally a pleasure
01:09:03to meet you.
01:09:04We've looked into
01:09:05your company's
01:09:06financial review.
01:09:08Very impressive.
01:09:10Thank you, bud.
01:09:12A large part
01:09:12of that success
01:09:13is thanks to
01:09:14Ms. Lewis.
01:09:16She practically
01:09:17saved me
01:09:17from disaster
01:09:18three times
01:09:19over now.
01:09:20Brian,
01:09:20you can just
01:09:21call me more.
01:09:23Ms. Lewis'
01:09:24recommendation
01:09:25is very telling,
01:09:26Mr. Shepard.
01:09:28Perhaps today
01:09:28clarifies everything.
01:09:30Mr. Shepard,
01:09:31this opportunity
01:09:32is gone.
01:09:34Seized.
01:09:36A woman like
01:09:37Laura
01:09:37is not
01:09:38easy to find.
01:09:39Thank you
01:09:40for your kind words,
01:09:41Mr. Vice President.
01:09:41Did Laura send you
01:09:51to kill me?
01:09:52Laura?
01:09:53Hardly.
01:09:54I'm Ian Lewis,
01:09:56CEO and rightful
01:09:57heir of the
01:09:58Lewis Group.
01:10:01So you're
01:10:02Laura's uncle?
01:10:03In the flesh.
01:10:05So Laura
01:10:06really is your niece?
01:10:08Yes,
01:10:08little Laura.
01:10:10She just
01:10:11threw away
01:10:11her birthright
01:10:12about two,
01:10:13three years ago.
01:10:14Ran off
01:10:15and married
01:10:15a nobody
01:10:16from Maplewood.
01:10:17I think
01:10:18he was a Harrison.
01:10:19Now Laura's
01:10:20got the VPs
01:10:20and Mr. Yates
01:10:21on her side.
01:10:22Did you hear
01:10:23she's throwing
01:10:23a banquet
01:10:24in a few days
01:10:24to announce
01:10:25her official takeover?
01:10:26And we can't
01:10:27let that happen,
01:10:28can we,
01:10:29my dear?
01:10:30If you're
01:10:30Ian Lewis,
01:10:31wouldn't you
01:10:32have the family ring?
01:10:33Well,
01:10:33my dear,
01:10:34that's where
01:10:35you come in,
01:10:36Miss Duke.
01:10:36we need you
01:10:37to relinquish
01:10:38my ring.
01:10:40What if I,
01:10:41what if I fail?
01:10:42My family
01:10:43is already
01:10:43ruined.
01:10:44Yes,
01:10:45you are in
01:10:45a spot of bother,
01:10:46I must say.
01:10:48But,
01:10:48if successful,
01:10:50I guarantee
01:10:50that you
01:10:51and the Duke
01:10:52family
01:10:52will get back
01:10:54everything you've
01:10:55lost.
01:10:55Laura's got
01:10:56the VPs
01:10:56and Brian
01:10:57on her side.
01:10:58How can I
01:10:58possibly get
01:10:59the ring?
01:11:00There is a way,
01:11:01you know,
01:11:01that we can
01:11:02make Laura
01:11:03relinquish
01:11:04and give up
01:11:05that ring
01:11:06willingly.
01:11:09Laura,
01:11:10my dear,
01:11:10welcome.
01:11:11Uncle Ian,
01:11:13it's so good
01:11:14to see you.
01:11:18Laura.
01:11:19It's so good
01:11:20to see you.
01:11:21And you,
01:11:21it's been
01:11:22too long,
01:11:23two,
01:11:24three years,
01:11:25perhaps.
01:11:26How have you been?
01:11:27I've been well,
01:11:28Uncle Ian.
01:11:29Thank you for asking.
01:11:30I see you've been
01:11:32busy keeping
01:11:33Lewis Group afloat.
01:11:35Yes.
01:11:35Kind of been easy.
01:11:36Indeed.
01:11:37Somebody had to.
01:11:38I mean,
01:11:39after you left me
01:11:40with everything to do,
01:11:41without a safe
01:11:42pair of hands,
01:11:43I hate to think
01:11:43it would have happened
01:11:44to the company.
01:11:46Actually,
01:11:46Uncle Ian,
01:11:47from what I've heard,
01:11:50you've lost billions
01:11:50with some
01:11:51questionable
01:11:52investment decisions.
01:11:54Yes.
01:11:55Minor mistakes.
01:11:57Minor.
01:11:57Don't worry,
01:11:58Uncle Ian,
01:11:59I won't hold it
01:11:59against you.
01:12:01Oh,
01:12:01good.
01:12:03Well,
01:12:03cheers to you
01:12:04coming back here
01:12:05and the Lewis Group.
01:12:09Oh,
01:12:10I'm so sorry,
01:12:12Laura,
01:12:13how clumsy of me.
01:12:14No,
01:12:15no worries,
01:12:16Uncle Ian,
01:12:17I,
01:12:18I'll just go
01:12:19to the restroom
01:12:19and get cleaned up.
01:12:21Of course.
01:12:22Right away,
01:12:23just down to the left.
01:12:27Use it wisely.
01:12:32Oh,
01:12:33I will.
01:12:48Hey,
01:12:48Laura,
01:12:49how's that?
01:12:50Hello,
01:12:51Brian.
01:12:51Your little girlfriend
01:12:52is with me now.
01:12:54Chloe,
01:12:54how in the hell
01:12:56did you get
01:12:57Laura's phone?
01:12:58Let's just say
01:12:59that I have my ways.
01:13:01Listen,
01:13:01Chloe,
01:13:03don't hurt her.
01:13:04Please,
01:13:06I'll do anything.
01:13:08Come to the abandoned
01:13:10warehouse
01:13:10in the eastern suburbs
01:13:11now.
01:13:14Don't tell anyone
01:13:15if you want her alive.
01:13:19Well,
01:13:20you certainly do
01:13:21have your ways.
01:13:22Oh,
01:13:26thank goodness
01:13:26you've cleared up.
01:13:27I am sorry.
01:13:28How clumsy.
01:13:29And don't forget
01:13:30your phone.
01:13:30I retrieved it for you.
01:13:32Oh,
01:13:33lovely to see you again.
01:13:35Yeah,
01:13:35I guess I'll see you
01:13:36the day after tomorrow
01:13:38at the banquet.
01:13:39At the banquet.
01:13:42I'll see you then.
01:13:43Will do.
01:13:44Looking forward to it.
01:13:47Laura?
01:13:48Laura?
01:13:49Where are you?
01:13:51Laura?
01:13:51Where are you?
01:13:56Laura?
01:13:57Laura,
01:13:57where are you?
01:13:59Laura?
01:13:59Oh!
01:14:03Gotcha.
01:14:06You weren't expecting
01:14:08that,
01:14:08were you?
01:14:08finally.
01:14:20Looks like
01:14:21your little boyfriend
01:14:22got turned around.
01:14:23What the?
01:14:24Laura,
01:14:24where are you?
01:14:25Laura?
01:14:25Laura?
01:14:25Go shut your mouth.
01:14:28Chloe?
01:14:29What have you done?
01:14:31You out of your mind?
01:14:32Out of my mind?
01:14:34You were the one
01:14:35that left me
01:14:35for that tramp
01:14:36and destroyed my life!
01:14:37That's not true.
01:14:39You were the one
01:14:39who messed up!
01:14:40Brian!
01:14:41Laura!
01:14:44Stay where you are.
01:14:45Better not come alone.
01:14:48Shut this knife,
01:14:50Chloe.
01:14:50This is insane!
01:14:52Insane?
01:14:53I did this for us,
01:14:54Brian!
01:14:55We were meant to be together.
01:14:58Us?
01:14:59You've gone crazy
01:15:00and you're here.
01:15:01Chloe,
01:15:02kidnapping
01:15:03is a very
01:15:05serious event.
01:15:06They're going to
01:15:07lock you up
01:15:07for years!
01:15:09You think I care
01:15:10about jail time?
01:15:12All I care about
01:15:13is tearing you
01:15:13too apart.
01:15:14I don't deserve him.
01:15:17What you've done
01:15:18is you've destroyed
01:15:19my life,
01:15:21my company,
01:15:21everything!
01:15:23Now I'm going
01:15:24to destroy your life.
01:15:26Give me
01:15:27your family ring now.
01:15:29Give it to me!
01:15:30This is about
01:15:31the ring.
01:15:31Did my Uncle Ian
01:15:34put you up to this?
01:15:36You know, Chloe,
01:15:38trying to kill me,
01:15:40that's foolish.
01:15:42Because who do you
01:15:43think is going to win?
01:15:45You?
01:15:47That little knife?
01:15:48Or...
01:15:49me?
01:15:51Something a little
01:15:52bit more persuasive.
01:15:53Don't move.
01:16:00Freeze!
01:16:02Don't move,
01:16:03anyone.
01:16:06Don't move.
01:16:08You're about to be
01:16:08arrested for kidnapping.
01:16:11Miss Lewis?
01:16:12Having fun without me?
01:16:14I'm hurt.
01:16:15Are you hurt?
01:16:18No, I'm okay.
01:16:23Tell me, Chloe.
01:16:25Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:16:28Why should I tell you?
01:16:30You're going to kill me anyway.
01:16:32Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:16:35But if you don't talk,
01:16:37your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:16:42Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Doris.
01:16:45So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:16:46Chloe, talk or face the consequences.
01:16:50Fine.
01:16:52It was Ian Lewis.
01:16:53He said he'd help Duke Industries
01:16:55if I kept you away from the bank room today.
01:16:59Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:17:01I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:17:06Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:17:08Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:17:16This is crazy.
01:17:23Are we really sure we can do this?
01:17:24All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:17:27Absolutely.
01:17:28The Lewis Group is under new leadership.
01:17:30We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:32Exactly.
01:17:33We just need to make sure we make a good impression
01:17:35on the new heir.
01:17:36There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:39You can introduce ourselves.
01:17:40Let's go.
01:17:40Yeah.
01:17:43Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:17:44I'm Amber Smith.
01:17:45We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:47This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.
01:17:49How do you do?
01:17:50We're the company that...
01:17:51Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:53Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:17:56Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:17:58Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:18:04Could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:18:09The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:18:12Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:16A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:18:19Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group,
01:18:23Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:25Look, everybody, attention.
01:18:27Attention, please.
01:18:28There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:18:35I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago
01:18:38that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:18:42And tragically, she hasn't made it.
01:18:45She has not survived.
01:18:49What?
01:18:50Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:53It doesn't matter now.
01:18:54She's gone.
01:18:55Mr. Lewis, is this new...
01:18:56A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:18:59But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.
01:19:04Hold on.
01:19:07Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:10Laura.
01:19:15I don't understand.
01:19:17What's happening?
01:19:19Laura?
01:19:20But...
01:19:20Why don't you...
01:19:21My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:19:24There seems to be some misunderstanding.
01:19:28Laura, what are you doing here?
01:19:30You've got to stop this.
01:19:31If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:19:34I'll say this once.
01:19:35Back off that lot.
01:19:36Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:19:43As I'm sure you know, tonight, I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:19:53Perhaps you could make some room for me, Uncle Ian.
01:20:00Impossible.
01:20:01How are you still alive?
01:20:03Well, clearly I am alive and well.
01:20:05So why don't we get this started?
01:20:07No.
01:20:08You're not the rightful heir.
01:20:11You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:20:15Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument that you have?
01:20:18That I got married too quickly?
01:20:19Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger and left me to
01:20:25work tirelessly, keeping the company together.
01:20:28Uncle Ian, retire.
01:20:30Enjoy your retirement.
01:20:33Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:20:35No.
01:20:36There can only be one heir, and that's me.
01:20:40And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:20:44You think a ring makes an heir?
01:20:47You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:20:51Give that back to me.
01:20:53This.
01:20:54Yes.
01:20:55You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:20:59Give it back.
01:21:00True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you, not some stupid ring.
01:21:10Oh, my ring.
01:21:11Okay, darn, where is it?
01:21:15My ring?
01:21:16No.
01:21:17Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.
01:21:20I'll tell you.
01:21:21Now, let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.
01:21:29Talk.
01:21:30Fucking talk.
01:21:31Fine.
01:21:32It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:33He said he helped you to stress if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:21:37Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr. Lewis.
01:21:44Security, escort him out.
01:21:46And Ian, don't fall over.
01:21:49It's all lies.
01:21:50It's all lies.
01:21:51It's fakery.
01:21:51The truth is clear.
01:21:52It's fake news.
01:21:52The truth is clear.
01:21:52It's fake news.
01:21:52The truth is clear.
01:21:53Get him out of here.
01:21:54Now.
01:21:54I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:22:03It turns out reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:22:08Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr. Shepard by my side.
01:22:16And he has been a great support.
01:22:21Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:22:27I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:22:34Shepard Group.
01:22:36What?
01:22:36Laura, hold on.
01:22:38This was never my idea.
01:22:40This was all Kathy and Amber's fault.
01:22:41I don't want a divorce.
01:22:43What?
01:22:43Ben, what are you saying?
01:22:45You came to me first.
01:22:46Classic Ben.
01:22:48Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.
01:22:52Just don't shut Harrison Group out.
01:22:55Just give me another chance.
01:22:57How could I shut you out?
01:22:58I'm just a cleaner, remember?
01:23:01I'm just a useless housewife.
01:23:03I don't have that power.
01:23:06What are you talking about?
01:23:07What?
01:23:08No, come on.
01:23:08Sorry.
01:23:08No, please.
01:23:09No.
01:23:11Um, Mr. Shepard?
01:23:14Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:23:15I was wondering if...
01:23:18Maybe you wanted to grab dinner sometime.
01:23:23On me.
01:23:25Miss Lewis.
01:23:26I would love to.
01:23:30I would love to.
01:23:30I would love to.
01:23:36I would love to.
01:23:40I.
01:23:48So.
