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.
00:05:54But he is.
00:05:56Sir, Laura Lewis' information.
00:06:03She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:06:05No wonder why she wants to partner with her.
00:06:07Actually, sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:10Divorced him?
00:06:13Wait a minute.
00:06:15Don't you remember?
00:06:17She's the one who helped 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...
00:11:19Don't deserve it?
00:11:20No.
00:11:25No.
00:11:27No.
00:11:30You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help?
00:11:32You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:48You're so silly, Lauren.
00:11:50Oh, 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.
00:12:00I've been after careful consideration.
00:12:05I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:12:09You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:12:14You have no authority here.
00:12:15Of course she has the authority.
00:12:24That'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?
00:12:31Laura, are you all right?
00:12:35Mr. Shepard, I 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.
00:12:48Effective immediately.
00:12:49Wait a minute.
00:12:51This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:54It's her.
00:12:55She ruined the contract.
00:12:56You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:58An affair?
00:12:59She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:13:04Mom, please, it's okay.
00:13:05This man is...
00:13:06Don't touch me.
00:13:08That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone,
00:13:11has an affair, and you just stand there?
00:13:13You're a disgrace.
00:13:14An adulterer.
00:13:15You deserve to be around...
00:13:16Shut up!
00:13:19Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess,
00:13:23but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:13:26Tricked?
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?
00:13:39The financial giants?
00:13:40There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:45That's crazy.
00:13:47There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:50That's absurd.
00:13:51It's...
00:13:51It's...
00:13:52It's absurd!
00:13:55A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in neighborhood.
00:13:58Yeah.
00:13:59Yeah, it's a lie.
00:14:00It's a lie.
00:14:00This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:14:03In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:14:05She's nothing special.
00:14:08She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:10I was just a waitress.
00:14:13How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:15First time I met her, she was in need of waitress at the diner.
00:14:18Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:14:20When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:23Mm-hmm.
00:14:23Now look at me.
00:14:25I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:27And look at her.
00:14:28Still just a clear.
00:14:29Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:34She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:36She's lying, Mr. Shepard.
00:14:38She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:43Let's make something clear.
00:14:46I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:50I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:56Don't lie.
00:14:57You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:15:00Oops.
00:15:01That roof was built with lies.
00:15:04Kathy, you never respected me.
00:15:07And Ben?
00:15:08Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:11And the cheating.
00:15:13I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:15:17You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:15:21If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy.
00:15:28Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:31From everything.
00:15:33Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:15:38Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:41And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:42I don't think so.
00:15:43You're a cleaner.
00:15:45You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:47Nobody cares about you.
00:15:48Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:52I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
00:16:02Now, I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:16:04I think all jobs are important.
00:16:06Right, Mom?
00:16:07Ben, what are you doing?
00:16:09But 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?
00:16:24You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:30Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:16:32This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:37I, but, well...
00:16:39A lie, you say?
00:16:40Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:16:44But I don't recognize you.
00:16:47Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:50Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:54This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:58But the contract...
00:17:00I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:17:01So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:06We're printed, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:09Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis' involvement.
00:17:12But I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:19Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:22Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:29Miss Smith, you lied to us.
00:17:32You destroyed everything.
00:17:33What?
00:17:35No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:17:36I can explain.
00:17:38Lewis?
00:17:39Lewis Family Group?
00:17:41This can't be.
00:17:42Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:45Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:50Three 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.
00:18:03Shepard 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?
00:18:22Shall 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. Shepard.
00:18:42Indeed.
00:18:43Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:52What?
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 Shepard.
00:19:07Flaunted their affair.
00:19:09Exactly.
00:19:10And those dresses?
00:19:11Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:19:14Miss Smith.
00:19:15How could you do this?
00:19:17We trusted you completely.
00:19:19No, no.
00:19:20I got Ben the deal.
00:19:22I had no idea Shepard would call for Laura.
00:19:24She's a liar.
00:19:27Well, stop it, Amber.
00:19:28You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:19:31Lied?
00:19:32You're on my side.
00:19:34And anyways, I have a plan.
00:19:37The Shepards are no one special.
00:19:39We can expose Laura and all her lies.
00:19:42Go national.
00:19:43We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:45Now, if you'll excuse me.
00:19:49I have a very important phone call to you.
00:19:55Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:19:59Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:20:01It's all right, Laura.
00:20:03You 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. Shepard.
00:20:12I'll be fine.
00:20:14Excuse me.
00:20:15You can just drop me off.
00:20:16Actually, Laura.
00:20:16Actually, Laura.
00:20:18There is something else.
00:20:20Would you consider going out for dinner sometime?
00:20:22Just casually, of course.
00:20:24Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:20:28Please, call me Brian.
00:20:31And 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...
00:20:44Proper.
00:20:45Proper.
00:20:47Proper?
00:20:49Laura, 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.
00:20:59Laura, so what are you saying?
00:21:02Dinner?
00:21:05Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:11I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:21:12I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't...
00:21:16Wait, Laura...
00:21:16Just here is fine.
00:21:21Laura?
00:21:21Laura?
00:21:21Laura, who is it?
00:21:28Laura, wait!
00:21:30Jason, find out who owns that car and do it fast.
00:21:35Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:21:45It's Amber Smith.
00:21:46Mr. Lewis?
00:21:48I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:53I don't know who you are, Miss Smith.
00:21:55How did you get this number?
00:21:57Don't worry about that right now.
00:21:59I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:22:02Someone I know very well.
00:22:06Impersonating 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?
00:22:24In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:22:30I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:22:33All will be revealed then.
00:22:35Very well.
00:22:36I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.
00:22:39But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:22:42It won't be.
00:22:43Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:22:45Thank you, Mr.
00:22:46That little rascal, Laura.
00:22:54I wonder what she's up to now.
00:23:01That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubbler.
00:23:06Oh.
00:23:07Lewis family?
00:23:09That's interesting.
00:23:11Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:23:15I'm not sure.
00:23:17Brian!
00:23:19There you are.
00:23:20I've missed you.
00:23:21Chloe.
00:23:23What are you up to?
00:23:24Chloe, what are you doing here?
00:23:27What do you mean?
00:23:28Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:30We ended things for a reason.
00:23:33It was just one teensy mistake.
00:23:35I was...
00:23:35I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:38Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:39Teensy mistake, you said?
00:23:41You cheated on me.
00:23:42Is this your new fling?
00:23:48Ex-divorcey.
00:23:50Used to clean floor.
00:23:52It's quite the catch, you say.
00:23:54Look, my relationship with her is none of your business.
00:23:59And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:24:01Please.
00:24:02An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:24:07It's a classic story.
00:24:08That's enough.
00:24:09I've got the hell out of my office.
00:24:11You want to be careful, Brian.
00:24:14Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:17If you want Shepard Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.
00:24:26Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:35This is it.
00:24:36The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.
00:24:39Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:44I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:47Well, well, well.
00:24:49Look who it is.
00:24:51What a surprise.
00:24:52Did Brian teach you already?
00:24:54That's none of your business.
00:24:58Now, 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, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:25:11Oh, the nurse.
00:25:13After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?
00:25:17Seriously?
00:25:19I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:23Oh, that's gold.
00:25:25You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?
00:25:27Please, you're no one compared to me.
00:25:30You don't deserve to be here.
00:25:31The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:25:37And you, idiot, believing every lie that she tells you.
00:25:40Wake up, Ben.
00:25:42Oh, Laura!
00:25:44Laura, come on.
00:25:45Why do you always pull this on me?
00:25:47I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:25:50I know what this is.
00:25:52So 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 Loon School.
00:26:06And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:26:09Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this?
00:26:21Oh, that's rich.
00:26:23You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.
00:26:26I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.
00:26:30Speaking of Brian, where 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, this looks fake.
00:26:46She's a liar.
00:26:48This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:53It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.
00:26:58She's lying.
00:26:59They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:27:03Is 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, get lost before things get worse.
00:27:22Here, take this one.
00:27:24Lead me to the vice president's.
00:27:25You have no idea what you just did.
00:27:29There will be consequences.
00:27:34Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,
00:27:40why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?
00:27:45Security!
00:27:46Security!
00:27:46We need this woman removed immediately.
00:27:48She is harassing me.
00:27:49We're done with your games, Laura.
00:27:50You're just a fraud.
00:27:52Man, play the movie.
00:27:52What?
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, huh?
00:28:06What other plans do you have to destroy this town?
00:28:09Get you out?
00:28:10After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.
00:28:13Don't play dumb.
00:28:15We 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, get down here ASAP.
00:28:35We have a situation.
00:28:36What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?
00:28:39Is that it?
00:28:40We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:42Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.
00:28:44How can I help you this evening?
00:28:46Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:49It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:52These people don't think that I belong here.
00:28:56Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:58A cleaner?
00:28:59Nonsense.
00:29:00I personally agreed to Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:29:05Exactly.
00:29:06Lewis Group, my company,
00:29:10has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:14I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:29:17No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.
00:29:22She's been this way since my son divorced her.
00:29:24She's insane.
00:29:25Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.
00:29:29She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.
00:29:32No, it's a lie.
00:29:36Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you, too.
00:29:37You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.
00:29:47Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?
00:29:50Wait, is that why you're covering for her?
00:29:53Huh?
00:29:53Because of the affair?
00:29:54Because she slept with you?
00:29:55Excuse me?
00:29:56Of course.
00:29:56Who are you?
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 never embarrassed yourself enough?
00:30:02This is Lewis Group property.
00:30:05Behave or I'll call security.
00:30:07But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access.
00:30:10She shouldn't be here.
00:30:12Since you're having trouble understanding them, let me make it clear.
00:30:17This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.
00:30:20It's mine to come or go as I please.
00:30:28Thank you for stepping in, Brian.
00:30:30I owe you one.
00:30:33We'll talk about this later.
00:30:35Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Rivers.
00:30:47Come in!
00:30:50Excuse me, Vice Presidents.
00:30:52I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.
00:30:57I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today?
00:30:59Maplewood Branch.
00:31:02Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Ms. Smith.
00:31:07Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:31:11Ian Lewis...
00:31:12Mr. Lewis...
00:31:14reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:31:19Oh!
00:31:20Expansion plans?
00:31:22Ms. Smith?
00:31:23A decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:31:27And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.
00:31:31But Ian Lewis assured me that...
00:31:34Ms. Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.
00:31:38Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff?
00:31:41Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...
00:31:44Ms. Smith, we'd like you to leave.
00:31:46If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:47Hey, stop there.
00:31:54This elevator is a VIP only.
00:31:57Back, please.
00:31:58Of course.
00:31:59My apologies.
00:32:05Oh...
00:32:06Laura?
00:32:09Vice Presidents!
00:32:11It's so good to see all of you again.
00:32:12Ms. Lewis, it's been too long.
00:32:16Your return is a lifesaver, Ms. Lewis.
00:32:19The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:32:26The board are begging you to come back, Ms. Lewis.
00:32:30Well, please sit.
00:32:32Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.
00:32:36We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.
00:32:42Local powerhouses and smaller players, too.
00:32:46They'll all be there in one spot.
00:32:48Ms. Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.
00:32:52She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.
00:32:59She said that.
00:33:00Did she?
00:33:01Well, Ms. Smith is a liar.
00:33:03There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:33:06She lied so blatantly.
00:33:08It was...
00:33:08It's unbelievable.
00:33:10But, don't worry.
00:33:11I found a much more suitable partner.
00:33:16Shepherd Group.
00:33:17Shepherd Group?
00:33:18Their rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:33:22Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:25So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:33:29Oh, don't worry about Amber.
00:33:32Amber, I've got plans for her.
00:33:37Ms. Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the magic.
00:33:44From us.
00:33:46Cheers.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:58No, I'm not leaving.
00:33:59What are you talking about?
00:34:00No, no, come on, get up.
00:34:01Wait!
00:34:01I'm Amber Smith.
00:34:02I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch.
00:34:04What are you doing?
00:34:05These are my guests.
00:34:06Yeah, that's right.
00:34:06Tell them who we are.
00:34:07Yes, we were waiting for Ms. Smith.
00:34:11Lewis Group, Maplewood branch?
00:34:13No such thing, ma'am.
00:34:14And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:34:17Of course.
00:34:18Laura!
00:34:20She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.
00:34:22That's how she gets away with everything.
00:34:24You underestimate her, Kathy.
00:34:26She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.
00:34:29No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:34:32Careful with your words.
00:34:34Both of you.
00:34:35Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:38Look who can't even get into a meeting.
00:34:42Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.
00:34:46And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:34:49Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:34:52Used me?
00:34:53Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:57You're so stupid.
00:34:58She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:35:01Don't worry, Brian.
00:35:02You deserve better.
00:35:03And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:35:08Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:35:12New branch manager, huh?
00:35:16Interesting.
00:35:17Laura Lewis?
00:35:18What are you doing here?
00:35:19Get out of here!
00:35:20You claim to be the mystery guest.
00:35:23Don't play games, Laura.
00:35:25I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:35:29Only the top companies get those.
00:35:32Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:35:33Is that so?
00:35:36Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:35:40You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.
00:35:46And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:35:51Escort them out.
00:35:52What?
00:35:53Their visit is over.
00:35:54Oh, come on.
00:35:55This way, please.
00:35:57I'm not leaving.
00:35:59Move.
00:36:00We're not leaving again.
00:36:01Move.
00:36:01Oh, no, no, no.
00:36:02We're not going.
00:36:02Now.
00:36:03This isn't over, Laura.
00:36:05You'll see.
00:36:09Thanks for waiting, Glenn.
00:36:12Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:16And thank you for defending me.
00:36:19I really appreciate it.
00:36:22Are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:27Yes, but it's going to be tricky.
00:36:33Why?
00:36:34I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:36:40Yes, Laura.
00:36:42Laura, there's something you should know.
00:36:44Is this about Ben?
00:36:49Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.
00:36:53He won't even get past security.
00:36:55Laura, it's not Ben.
00:36:59It's someone else.
00:37:02Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:37:04Yes.
00:37:05Yes.
00:37:05Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:37:12She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:37:16She's my ex-fiance.
00:37:17And let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:37:24And let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:37:31And for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.
00:37:35And you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting for...
00:37:45Out of jealousy?
00:37:50There's a possibility.
00:37:51She's kind of jealous.
00:37:54Well, all the more reason for you to be there.
00:37:59Besides, I'll be there too.
00:38:04Laura.
00:38:05Would you consider being my guest at the meeting?
00:38:10What?
00:38:12Are you worried that this Chloe's going to cause problems for me too?
00:38:15Maybe a little.
00:38:17But mostly, I want to show them we're team.
00:38:21Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.
00:38:27Laura.
00:38:31I don't care about your past.
00:38:33I just want to be by your side.
00:38:36I think I'm falling for you.
00:38:37Brian.
00:38:38I appreciate your honesty.
00:38:51And right now, I'm just not...
00:38:54I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:38:58Just with everything going on and going on and...
00:39:02It's okay.
00:39:02I just want to be up front.
00:39:07And if Chloe tries anything, you won't face her alone.
00:39:14There's just one thing I do need.
00:39:18What is it?
00:39:19A formal dress.
00:39:34Security!
00:39:35She doesn't belong here.
00:39:37This is a private store.
00:39:38Excuse me.
00:39:40We need some assistance.
00:39:42I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:39:47Wow.
00:39:48It's beautiful.
00:39:50It is.
00:39:51I'll try this one on.
00:39:52Don't bother with her.
00:39:54She can't afford anything here.
00:39:56She's just a cleaner.
00:39:57She doesn't deserve to shop you.
00:39:59She has no money.
00:39:59Yeah, exactly.
00:40:03I mean, what are you doing here?
00:40:04Can't you just leave me alone?
00:40:06I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared.
00:40:09I'm here for retail therapy.
00:40:11Oh, please.
00:40:13This store is for the A-list only.
00:40:15Not some cheapskate like you.
00:40:17Says the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:40:19Hey, show some respect.
00:40:22Typical Laura.
00:40:23Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.
00:40:26I would have asked you, but without me, I'm sure you're already booked.
00:40:31Oh, please.
00:40:31Come on, we'll take the dress.
00:40:33Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:40:36What do you mean you don't sell it?
00:40:38I want it.
00:40:40Name your price.
00:40:41It's not about the price, ma'am.
00:40:43This one was custom-made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress.
00:40:46The entire brand belongs to her.
00:40:48This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.
00:40:53It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:40:54What are you talking about?
00:40:56Of course it would suit her.
00:40:57It would fit her just fine.
00:40:59And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:41:03Well, buy in the whole store.
00:41:05Allow me to purchase this dress.
00:41:10Oh, please.
00:41:12Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?
00:41:14We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:41:16Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.
00:41:19You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:41:22Could you?
00:41:22Please tell me more about this dress.
00:41:25Of course.
00:41:26It was custom-made for Laura Lewis, heiress to the Lewis Group Fortune, and stitched in
00:41:32Italy, naturally.
00:41:34And apparently there are many more like it.
00:41:36This is where high-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.
00:41:42Laura, do you like this dress?
00:41:45Of course.
00:41:45It's custom-made for me.
00:41:48I'm just here to take what's already mine.
00:41:51Oh, you can't be serious.
00:41:52There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.
00:41:56Fine, fine.
00:41:57If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?
00:42:00It would look incredible on me.
00:42:02Miss, this dress is very delicate.
00:42:05If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:42:10Are you calling me fat?
00:42:11Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand?
00:42:17How's that sound?
00:42:18Sir, are you serious?
00:42:19You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:42:22This brand is worth at least $50 million.
00:42:25And to buy it for a waitress?
00:42:29Are you out of your mind?
00:42:30Yes.
00:42:30You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:42:34Just one second.
00:42:37Yes, this is Brian Shepard, CEO of Shepard Group.
00:42:41I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:42:44I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.
00:42:50What?
00:42:53Sorry, sir.
00:42:54That brand is not for sale.
00:42:57You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.
00:43:00Mr. Yates, yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:43:07I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepard Group.
00:43:13Oh, come on.
00:43:14Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:43:17Exactly.
00:43:18This is pathetic.
00:43:19You really think this is going to work?
00:43:21It's sad.
00:43:21Excellent.
00:43:23Thank you, Mr. Yates.
00:43:25That's all.
00:43:30Yes.
00:43:36What?
00:43:38Are you willing to submit the brand?
00:43:42Awesome.
00:43:47Hello?
00:43:49Yes.
00:43:49Wow.
00:43:51Yes, of course.
00:43:53Absolutely.
00:43:57This store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepard.
00:44:01The Shepard Group is the new owner.
00:44:04How may I be upstairs today, sir?
00:44:06Well, Laura, I don't know much about pressure.
00:44:09So I would like to give you this brand to you.
00:44:13You can't be serious.
00:44:15You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:44:17Don't listen to her, Brian.
00:44:20You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.
00:44:23You're not welcome here.
00:44:24I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:31I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:33Of course.
00:44:36Oh, come on.
00:44:37Sir, ma'am, you're afraid I'll have to ask you to leave?
00:44:40Well, we're not leaving, okay?
00:44:41Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:43This isn't over, Laura!
00:44:45Could I try the dress on now?
00:44:46Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:44:48You just follow me.
00:44:55Wow.
00:44:57Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.
00:45:03Laura, you look breathtaking in this race.
00:45:07Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:45:14Laura, because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.
00:45:21And that includes this dress.
00:45:26Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:45:30I...
00:45:31I need a moment.
00:45:33Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:45:39Does that mean you could be a yes?
00:45:42Maybe.
00:45:42Hi.
00:45:56Hi.
00:45:59What?
00:46:00Well, well, well, look who decided to join the party. Playing dress up again, Laura?
00:46:07One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith. And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:46:12You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone? For this, this gold digger.
00:46:17You know, Ben, I really cared about you, even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:46:24I know the name of a great psychologist in New York. Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:46:33Enough! I've had enough of this drama.
00:46:36Yeah, me too. Try that again, and you'll regret it. Now, get the hell out of my face.
00:46:43Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:46:46Yeah.
00:46:48I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:46:51What? That's impossible. I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:46:59Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group's name is on the list.
00:47:03What?
00:47:04Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.
00:47:07You don't have an invitation. You're just here because of Brian.
00:47:15Let me see this. This doesn't even look real. It's different from mine.
00:47:18Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:23This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:47:28Please, right this way.
00:47:29We can continue this discussion later, if you manage to get in.
00:47:33Sir? Madam? We recommend you leave.
00:47:43There you are! How dare you steal my fiancé!
00:47:49There you are! How dare you steal my fiancé!
00:47:52Looks like another relationship fights the dust, Laura.
00:47:56Looks like stealing men is a habit of yours.
00:47:59Get away from him!
00:48:01He's engaged to me!
00:48:02Hey, hey, hey. Hold your horses, Gwen.
00:48:04That ended a long time ago.
00:48:06Engaged to you.
00:48:08Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:48:12Your relationship's history.
00:48:14That was just a little tiff.
00:48:15You really think that could tear us apart?
00:48:18Don't you know who I am?
00:48:21Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:48:23Oh, honey.
00:48:24She don't recognise royalty, let alone a duke.
00:48:27She's just a maid, remember?
00:48:29I don't have time for all this drama.
00:48:32Brian?
00:48:34Let's head inside.
00:48:36Brian!
00:48:38How could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:48:40Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:48:45There's nothing left to say, Gwen.
00:48:47Don't make this a scene.
00:48:49Shall we?
00:48:55You okay, Miss Duke?
00:48:57And you are?
00:48:59Amber Smith.
00:49:01I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:49:04What branch? I've never heard of it.
00:49:06What do you want from me?
00:49:07That Laura!
00:49:08She tore up my invitation.
00:49:10Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:12What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:49:16Please don't waste my time.
00:49:38If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:49:52The 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.
00:50:03I need your help with something.
00:50:06What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.
00:50:09It's Brian.
00:50:11Who's that woman? I thought you were...
00:50:14She's a con woman.
00:50:16She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:18What?
00:50:20Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:23A cleaner?
00:50:24Well, she's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.
00:50:28What are you planning?
00:50:30I want to destroy Shepherd Group.
00:50:32Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:40I had no idea she would be so...
00:50:45intense.
00:50:47What do you mean?
00:50:49You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:50:51I mean, you guys are just...
00:50:54Power couple.
00:50:56I see what you're doing.
00:50:59Power couple, you say?
00:51:01More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:51:05Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:51:08Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:51:12is up there.
00:51:14Really?
00:51:16She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:51:18Excuse me.
00:51:19This is my VIP invitation.
00:51:22I can sit wherever I like.
00:51:25Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:51:27This is signed by all three VPs of Louis Group.
00:51:30Where did you get this?
00:51:32Who 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. Shepherd, 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.
00:52:08And love.
00:52:10Things that clearly...
00:52:12Chloe has no idea.
00:52:14I said I was sorry.
00:52:16What 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. Shepherd.
00:52:38Propose.
00:52:39Right here.
00:52:40Right now.
00:52:42Brian?
00:52:45Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:52:49By forcing a ring on someone?
00:52:51Do it, or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:53:02Don't you dare.
00:53:04You humiliate yourself.
00:53:06How dare you?
00:53:08Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:53:10Yes.
00:53:13Oh my god.
00:53:16But 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!
00:53:35You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?
00:53:39Interesting 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?
00:53:55You know what, maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:53:58Ridiculous!
00:54:00Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:54:01I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but...
00:54:07Wow!
00:54:09Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?
00:54:12You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that!
00:54:15That's enough!
00:54:16You don't get to talk here!
00:54:18You got mad, Shepard!
00:54:19You dare to go against Miss Duke!
00:54:21And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:54:23Anyone who insults Laura.
00:54:25Leave 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, especially none.
00:54:47Shepard Group.
00:54:48Lewis Group RS?
00:54:49You?
00:54:51Don't make me laugh.
00:54:53Security!
00:54:55Remove these two impostors from the premises.
00:54:57Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:54:58Give Brian another chance.
00:55:00Choose, Brian.
00:55:02Me and the future you deserve, or this...fraught.
00:55:06Chloe.
00:55:08I have everything I ever wanted.
00:55:10Right here.
00:55:11And I wouldn't trade all the power to Duke's home in Maplewood.
00:55:22Fine.
00:55:28Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:30What?
00:55:32You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:35Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:37The Duke family, they can't be serious.
00:55:39Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:42Brian, you don't have to do this for me.
00:55:46Laura, I will never let anyone bully you.
00:55:50Let alone them.
00:55:52Thank you, Brian, for...
00:55:55For believing in me.
00:55:57For protecting me.
00:56:00Now it's my turn to protect you.
00:56:09Listen carefully.
00:56:11I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.
00:56:15At all costs.
00:56:17Don't let it drop even one cent.
00:56:21Do you understand?
00:56:23Wow.
00:56:25Award-winning performance, Laura.
00:56:27But you can't possibly control the stock market.
00:56:29Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:34If...
00:56:36The Shepard stock holds...
00:56:39For the next five minutes...
00:56:43You owe me a public apology.
00:56:46Deal.
00:56:56Well...
00:56:58Looks like your five minutes is up.
00:57:01Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
00:57:03What the?
00:57:05The Shepard Group's stock price is...
00:57:07It's going up!
00:57:09This can't be happening.
00:57:10It must be a coincidence.
00:57:12Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
00:57:14There was a huge investment.
00:57:15We couldn't compete.
00:57:16Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:18How did you do this?
00:57:19Like I said, Chloe...
00:57:21I'm Laura Lewis.
00:57:23No, you're not. You're just some cleaner.
00:57:24You don't have access to billions.
00:57:26Well...
00:57:28I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:30I'm not sure why you're not.
00:57:31I'm not sure why I'm not sure why you're not.
00:57:34I'm not sure why I'm not sure why you're not.
00:57:36Why did you short the stock like I asked?
00:57:38Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
00:57:40There was a huge investment.
00:57:41We couldn't compete.
00:57:42Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:45How did you do this?
00:57:47Like I said, Chloe,
00:57:48I'm Laura Lewis.
00:57:50No.
00:57:54I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:57There is no way I'm apologizing to you.
00:57:59If things were the other way,
00:58:01would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:58:03Chloe?
00:58:05The truth is...
00:58:07everyone here
00:58:09has seen you be a bully.
00:58:11And a coward.
00:58:13And now...
00:58:15a 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.
00:58:24Apologize to Miss Lewis.
00:58:25Shut up.
00:58:26Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.
00:58:30Don't forget, the Duke finally 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...
00:58:45is my chair.
00:58:47You can't go there.
00:58:48That is the VIP section.
00:58:50Only those invited by the Lewis Group vice presidents get to sit there.
00:58:55Like I said, Chloe...
00:58:57that's my seat.
00:59:03Had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
00:59:07Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepherd, wasn't it?
00:59:16Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
00:59:18Is this how you charm all your men?
00:59:21Shall we?
00:59:23My pleasure.
00:59:25What are you doing?
00:59:27Let go.
00:59:28It doesn't matter what happens.
00:59:29I choose to stay by Laura's side.
00:59:33Let's go.
00:59:35Don't be absurd.
00:59:36That seat is reserved for a very important guest.
00:59:39Someone so esteemed, even the vice presidents have to bow low.
00:59:43Dr. Bow low.
00:59:46And...
00:59:48How?
00:59:49Exactly, Mr. Jones?
00:59:51Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
00:59:56Wait, that's Peter Young.
00:59:57Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group.
01:00:03Ah, it's Peter Young.
01:00:05He decides which investments are you.
01:00:06Mr. Young, it's Chloe Duke.
01:00:07Head 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.
01:00:15It's...
01:00:16It's embarrassing.
01:00:17That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
01:00:21Specifically the family heir.
01:00:23Please get off the stage.
01:00:25Oh, yes.
01:00:27Mr. Young?
01:00:28Was it?
01:00:29I think I remember you.
01:00:30You manage my family's investments.
01:00:34Don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:00:37Please get off the stage.
01:00:39That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.
01:00:41I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:00:49I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:00:54This is ridiculous.
01:00:55You?
01:00:56The Lewis heir.
01:00:57Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:01:00You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:01:03Exactly.
01:01:04We ran a background check on her.
01:01:05And it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.
01:01:07Before that, a cashier in my family's supermarket.
01:01:08See, Brian?
01:01:09This is who you've been chasing after.

01:01:21She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.
01:01:22They didn't even want her.

01:16:32Chloe, I don't have a problem with you!
01:16:34But if you don't talk, your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:16:42Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:45So the choice is yours, Chloe. Talk, or face the consequences.
01:16:50Fine. It was Ian Lewis. He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the banker today.
01:16:57Did 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?
01:17:22This is crazy.
01:17:22Are we really sure we can do this? All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:17:26Absolutely. The Lewis Group is under new leadership. We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:32Exactly. We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:17:37There's Ian Lewis now. You can introduce us. Let's go.
01:17:40Yeah.
01:17:43Hello, Ian Lewis. I'm Amber Smith. We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:47This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.
01:17:49How do you do?
01:17:49We're the company that-
01:17:51Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:52Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:17:56Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:18:03Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:18:07Thank you. The 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, Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:25Look, everybody, attention. Attention, please.
01:18:30There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:18:35I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:18:42And tragically, she hasn't made it. She has not survived.
01:18:46What? Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:53It doesn't matter now. She's gone.
01:18:54Mr. 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.
01:19:05Hold on. Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:10Laura.
01:19:11I don't understand. What's happening?
01:19:19Laura? But weren't you-
01:19:21My apologies for the delay, everyone. There seems to be some misunderstanding.
01:19:28Laura, what are you doing here? You've got to stop this. If you upset the Lewis family anymore,
01:19:32we're all doomed.
01:19:33I'll say this once. Back off, then.
01:19:41Thank you for coming, everyone. As I'm sure you know,
01:19:46tonight, I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:19:55Perhaps you could make some room for me, Uncle Ian.
01:19:59Uncle Ian?
01:20:00Impossible. How are you still alive?
01:20:03Well, clearly I am alive and well, so why don't we get this started?
01:20:07No. You're not the rightful heir. You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:20:15Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument that you have, that I got married too quickly?
01:20:20Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger
01:20:24and left me to work tirelessly, keeping the company together.
01:20:28Uncle Ian, retire. Enjoy your retirement.
01:20:32Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:20:35No. There can only be one heir, and that's me. And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:20:44You think a ring makes an heir? You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:20:52Give that back to me.
01:20:52This?
01:20:53Yes.
01:20:54You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:20:59Give it back.
01:20:59True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you.
01:21:07Not some stupid ring.
01:21:10Oh, my ring?
01:21:10What have you done? Where is it?
01:21:15My ring?
01:21:16Oh.
01:21:16Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.
01:21:19How dare you?
01:21:21Let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.
01:21:29Talk.
01:21:31Fine.
01:21:32It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:34He said he helped you keep the streets if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:21:40Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr. Lewis.
01:21:42Security, escort him out. And Ian, don't fall over.
01:21:49It's all lies. It's all lies. Fakery.
01:21:51The proof is clear. Get him out of here. Now.
01:21:58I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:22:03Turns 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.
01:22:20Lewis 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.
01:22:35What? Laura, hold on.
01:22:38This was never my idea. This was all Kathy and Amber's fault. I don't want a divorce.
01:22:43What? Ben, what are you saying? You came to me first.
01:22:46Classic Ben. Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.
01:22:52Just don't shut Harrison Group out. Just give me another chance.
01:22:57How could I shut you out? I'm just a cleaner, remember? I'm just a useless housewife.
01:23:03I don't have that power.
01:23:07What are you talking about? What? No, come on. Sorry. No, please. No.
01:23:11Um, Mr. Shepard?
01:23:13Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:23:15I was wondering if...
01:23:16Maybe you wanted to grab dinner. Sometime. On me.
01:23:26Miss Lewis.
01:23:29I would love to.
01:23:30Or a couple of days.
01:23:32It was me.
01:23:33Cross you, Miss Lewis.
01:23:36Hey, when realised you were.
01:23:40Yes, Miss Lewis.
01:23:42whom?
01:23:42So you could've followed what's the process of aliens?
01:23:43What if you saw if children see you or me?
01:23:45Oh...
01:23:46You can sing.
01:23:46Wasn't that mad?
01:23:47What they are.
01:23:48I can see me though.
01:23:48There are ama...
01:23:49Be proudilla here.
01:23:49It has a beautiful man.
01:23:50Kid's positioned.
01:23:50It is surprisingly no one.
01:23:51What is the same?
01:23:52What does this place they call away?
01:23:53Is that the place where you wear a very long ح CON arm,
01:23:53you can just fill the place outside.
01:23:56Your tôi's wrong with her old people.
