Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Ryan.
00:00:07Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:13What the hell is going on here?
00:00:16Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:19Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do?
00:00:23Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:27They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:31Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:38Well, looks like Shepardview might be bankrupt by lunchtime.
00:00:47Hey, this is a privacy thing.
00:00:49Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on a cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:00:53Mr. Shepard, building a public company?
00:00:56In just five years? That's impressive.
00:01:00But losing your cool over a little market turbulence?
00:01:06That seems out of character for you.
00:01:08Do I know you?
00:01:12What are you doing?
00:01:14What are you doing?
00:01:16You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.
00:01:18You can't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:20This is incredible!
00:01:22What's going on?
00:01:24The shoring is him.
00:01:25It's failing!
00:01:26The price is holding!
00:01:29Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:36We met before.
00:01:38They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:40Hold on.
00:01:41Tell me.
00:01:42How could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:44If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:54Jason?
00:01:55Can we have fun?
00:01:56Now?
00:01:57Mr. Yates?
00:01:58What?
00:01:59Only two bodyguards this time?
00:02:00You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:01No, ma'am.
00:02:02I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:02:03Now, listen.
00:02:04Everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:05Oh, Mr. Yates, you know that my investigation has failed.
00:02:06What?
00:02:07What?
00:02:08What?
00:02:09What?
00:02:10What?
00:02:11What?
00:02:12What?
00:02:13What?
00:02:14What?
00:02:15What?
00:02:16What?
00:02:17What?
00:02:18What?
00:02:19What?
00:02:20What?
00:02:21What?
00:02:22What?
00:02:23What?
00:02:24What?
00:02:25What?
00:02:26What?
00:02:27What?
00:02:28What?
00:02:29My investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:31Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've
00:02:36married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:37Look, today is Ben's birthday.
00:02:40Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:43Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:47Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:02:52Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house, for my sake.
00:02:58For my sake.
00:03:08Divorce papers.
00:03:09Sign it.
00:03:16Why?
00:03:17You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:19The Harrison group is practically a local celebrity now.
00:03:22Especially since it's landed a $100 million contract with the Shepherd group.
00:03:27And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:03:30The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:03:35I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:37I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:40Are you?
00:03:41A cleaning woman?
00:03:42Handing out million dollar deals?
00:03:45Don't make me laugh.
00:03:47I did!
00:03:50It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:53I was the one who got Ryan Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:57What are you doing here?
00:03:59Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:03Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:06Local royalty.
00:04:08A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:11And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:04:14Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor.
00:04:18Doesn't it, Ben?
00:04:20What's going on?
00:04:23Is this why you want a divorce?
00:04:26Because of her?
00:04:27Oh, please.
00:04:28I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:04:31You're still a cleaner.
00:04:32We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:34Grown apart?
00:04:37No.
00:04:39No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:44I won't sign anything.
00:04:47Huh.
00:04:48Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:51Ben.
00:04:52Alright.
00:04:53Here.
00:04:54A hundred thousand dollars.
00:04:55Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:58A hundred thousand dollars?
00:05:00I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:05Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:08Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:10You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:13This is our act of charity to overcome.
00:05:15Here.
00:05:16Here.
00:05:17A million dollars.
00:05:18Take this.
00:05:19You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:21Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:24I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this since none of you respect me.
00:05:34A cleaning lady, threatening us?
00:05:37I'm so scared.
00:05:39Just leave.
00:05:40You already make this house stink.
00:05:42Make up she's gone.
00:05:43Go to written store.
00:05:44Sir?
00:05:45Laura Lewis's information.
00:05:46She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:05:47No wonder why she wanted to partner with Ben.
00:05:48Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:05:49Divorced her?
00:05:50Wait a minute.
00:05:51Don't you remember?
00:05:52Don't you remember?
00:05:53Don't you remember?
00:05:54She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:05:55Yeah.
00:05:56She saved our hiding there.
00:05:57Remember?
00:05:58Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:03I don't know.
00:06:04I don't know.
00:06:05Let's get to the bottom of this one.
00:06:06No wonder why she wanted to partner with Ben.
00:06:07Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:10Divorced her?
00:06:11Wait a minute.
00:06:12Don't you remember?
00:06:14She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:19Yeah.
00:06:20She saved our hiding there.
00:06:22Remember?
00:06:23Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:28I don't know.
00:06:31Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:06:35Hey!
00:06:36What are you doing?
00:06:37Let go of me!
00:06:38You attacked Amber.
00:06:39Apologize this instant.
00:06:41Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:46We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:06:48You refused it.
00:06:49And now you're stealing.
00:06:50She couldn't afford it.
00:06:52You're a thief.
00:06:54That's mine!
00:06:55Give it back!
00:06:56That's me!
00:06:57That's enough!
00:06:58Laura?
00:06:59I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:00It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:15You see?
00:07:16You see?
00:07:17It's...
00:07:18Who are you?
00:07:19Boris New Squeeze.
00:07:20Excuse me.
00:07:21Do you know who I am?
00:07:22Is this true?
00:07:23You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:07:26Shame on you!
00:07:27Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:28For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:07:31I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:34Oh, please.
00:07:35A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:38You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:41That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:46That's ridiculous.
00:07:48He doesn't look like that.
00:07:50My ring.
00:07:51Jason, give it back to Mr. Lewis.
00:07:53Hey, what are you doing?
00:07:57Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:07:59Now.
00:08:00Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:08:01Who the heck is this man?
00:08:02Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:04It's alright, ma'am.
00:08:06This is none of your business.
00:08:07Of rabbed dead bodies.
00:08:09You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.
00:08:12We are the Harrisons.
00:08:14You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:16Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:08:19Now go back.
00:08:20What?
00:08:21Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:08:23That's a lie.
00:08:24Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.
00:08:26You come back here and explain yourself.
00:08:28Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.
00:08:32Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:36Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:41I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:45After how they treated you.
00:08:47Maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:48No.
00:08:49Um.
00:08:50No.
00:08:51The event will proceed.
00:08:53Besides, I'll be there.
00:08:56There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:01Who are you, truly?
00:09:03You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.
00:09:07Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:09Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners and we're gonna have a meeting.
00:09:22An investment meeting.
00:09:24One week from today.
00:09:26Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:29Because after that meeting, I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:36Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:09:38I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:40Ben Harrison, you're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:50After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:09:59Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:03Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:05Security!
00:10:06Get that woman out of here!
00:10:08We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:10:10Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:12This is a business event, after all.
00:10:15Business?
00:10:16You wouldn't know business if they hit you on the head.
00:10:18A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:10:21Just get out!
00:10:22Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:25You should've taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:27Well, Ben, do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:32Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:35Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:36You don't belong here.
00:10:38Just get out!
00:10:40Oh.
00:10:45That's what you get.
00:10:48This contract is mine.
00:10:54To give or take away as I see it.
00:10:57Don't be ridiculous!
00:10:58This is insane!
00:10:59Who do you think you are?
00:11:01Yeah, put that down.
00:11:02You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:03Security!
00:11:04She's lost a mind!
00:11:06This is a disaster!
00:11:07Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly
00:11:15don't deserve it.
00:11:39for saving Shepard Group.
00:11:41It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard,
00:11:44but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:11:47You see, it's...
00:11:48Who are you, Boris New Squeeze?
00:11:51Excuse me, do you know who I am?
00:11:53Is this true?
00:11:54You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:11:57Shame on you!
00:11:58Mr. Shepard, I...
00:11:59For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:12:03I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:12:05Oh, please.
00:12:06A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be called dead
00:12:08with a cleaner.
00:12:09You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:12:12That's really interesting,
00:12:13considering I thought you were the one
00:12:15that secured that contract for Ben.

00:12:28Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:12:30Now.
00:12:31Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:12:32Who the heck is this man?
00:12:34Have you been sneaking around?
00:12:36It's all right, ma'am.
00:12:37This is none of your business.
00:12:38All brown dead bodies.
00:12:40You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on.
00:12:43We are the Harrisons.
00:12:45You can't just waltz in here and take her.

00:15:29Don't be ridiculous!
00:15:30This is insane!
00:15:31Who do you think you are?
00:15:33Yeah, put that down.
00:15:34You have no idea what you're doing.
00:15:35Security!
00:15:36She's lost a mind!
00:15:38This is a disaster!
00:15:40Ben.
00:15:41This contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,
00:15:44but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:16:05You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:16:15You're so silly, Laura.
00:16:17Oh, please, honey.
00:16:18You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:16:21Security!
00:16:22Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:16:24I was the one that started this deal with the shepherds.
00:16:28And after careful consideration,
00:16:31I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the shepherds.
00:16:36You really think that the shepherd group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:16:41You have no authority here.
00:16:42Of course she has the authority.
00:16:51That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:16:53What is he doing here?
00:16:54Mr. Shepard?
00:16:55How does he know her?
00:16:56Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:16:59Laura, are you alright?
00:17:03Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.
00:17:05There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:17:07There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:10This contract with Shepard Group is officially terminated.
00:17:15Effective immediately.
00:17:18Wait a minute.
00:17:19This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:17:21It's her.
00:17:22She ruined the contract.
00:17:24You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:17:26An affair?
00:17:27She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:17:32Mom, please, it's okay. This man is...
00:17:34Don't touch me!
00:17:35That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone,
00:17:38has an affair, and you just stand there?
00:17:40You're a disgrace.
00:17:42An adulterer.
00:17:43You deserve to be arrested.
00:17:44Shut up!
00:17:46Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess,
00:17:50but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:17:53Tricked?
00:17:55Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?
00:17:59What was my name before we got married?
00:18:03Laura Lewis, right?
00:18:04The Lewis Group?
00:18:06The Financial Giants?
00:18:08There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:18:13That's crazy.
00:18:14There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:18:17That's absurd.
00:18:19It's...
00:18:20It's absurd!
00:18:22A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:18:26Yeah, it's a lie.
00:18:27It's a lie.
00:18:28And was a waitress when I met her.
00:18:29In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:18:34She's nothing special.
00:18:35She only married me out of gratitude.
00:18:37I was just a waitress.
00:18:40How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:18:42First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.
00:18:45Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:18:46When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:18:50Mm-hmm.
00:18:51Now look at me.
00:18:52I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:18:54And look at her.
00:18:55Still just a cleaner.
00:18:57Mr. Shepherd, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:19:01She's doing all this out of spite.
00:19:03She's lying, Mr. Shepherd.
00:19:04She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:19:09Let's make something clear.
00:19:12I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:19:16I used my resources to help my ex-husband,
00:19:21but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:19:23Don't lie.
00:19:25You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:19:27Oops.
00:19:29That roof was built with lies.
00:19:31Kathy, you never respected me.
00:19:32And Ben?
00:19:34Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:19:38And the cheating.
00:19:40I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:19:43You were not good enough for Ben then,
00:19:45and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:19:48If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story,
00:19:52then the truth, Kathy.
00:19:54Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:19:58From everything.
00:20:03Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:20:04Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:20:07And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:20:09I don't think so.
00:20:10You're a cleaner.
00:20:11You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:20:13Nobody cares about you.
00:20:15Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:20:18Respect.
00:20:20I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
00:20:28I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:20:30I think all jobs are important, right, Mom?
00:20:33Ben, what are you doing?
00:20:34But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:20:40A janitor.
00:20:42Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:20:50You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:20:55Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:20:58This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:21:03I... but, well...
00:21:05A lie, you say?
00:21:06Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:21:11But I don't recognize you.
00:21:13Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:21:16Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:21:20This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:21:23But the contract... I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:21:27So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:21:32Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:21:34Perhaps you haven't been paying attention.
00:21:36Without Miss Lewis involvement, I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:21:45Today, I want to make it clear.
00:21:48Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:21:54Miss Smith, you lied to us. You destroyed everything.
00:21:59What? No, it's a misunderstanding. I can explain.
00:22:03Lewis? Lewis Family Group? This can't be.
00:22:07Believe what you want, Ben.
00:22:10Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:22:13Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:22:19And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:22:24Everyone, listen to me.
00:22:28Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison Group.
00:22:33A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.
00:22:39The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:22:42Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:22:47Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:22:50Someone get a doctor.
00:22:57Help!
00:22:58Mom!
00:22:59Someone get a doctor!
00:23:00Mom!
00:23:01It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:23:05Mr. Shepard.
00:23:07Indeed.
00:23:08Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:23:20What?
00:23:22What now?
00:23:24Mom, this is not all on me.
00:23:26Not on you!
00:23:28I was trying to help.
00:23:30She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:23:32Flaunted their affair.
00:23:33Exactly.
00:23:35And those dresses?
00:23:36Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:23:39Miss Smith, how could you do this?
00:23:41We trusted you completely.
00:23:43What?
00:23:44No, no.
00:23:45I got Ben the deal.
00:23:47I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.
00:23:50She's a liar.
00:23:52Oh, stop it, Amber.
00:23:53You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:23:56Lied?
00:23:57You're on my side.
00:23:59And anyways, I have a plan.
00:24:00The Shepards are no one special.
00:24:03We can expose Laura in all her lies.
00:24:06Go national.
00:24:08We can make ourselves a household name.
00:24:11Now, if you'll excuse me,
00:24:13I have a very important phone call to make.
00:24:15Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:24:19Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:24:21It's alright, Laura.
00:24:23You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:24:25Can I ask you something?
00:24:27Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:24:29Maybe a hotel?
00:24:30Don't, don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:24:32I'll be fine.
00:24:34Excuse me, you can just drop me off.
00:24:35Actually, Laura, actually, Laura, there is something else.
00:24:38Would you consider going out for dinner sometime?
00:24:39Just casually, of course.
00:24:40Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:24:42Please, call me Brian.
00:24:44And yes, technically, you're single now.
00:24:47Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly the case.
00:24:51Proper.
00:24:53Proper?
00:24:55Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:24:57Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:25:01I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:25:03Oh?
00:25:05Are you asking me out?
00:25:07Are you asking me out?
00:25:08Please, call me Brian.
00:25:10And yes, technically, you're single now.
00:25:13Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.

00:38:16No, I'm not leaving.
00:38:17What are you talking about?
00:38:18No, come on.
00:38:19Wait!
00:38:20I'm Amber Smith.
00:38:21I'm the Lewis Group Manager of Maplewood Branch.
00:38:22What are you doing?
00:38:23These are my guests.
00:38:24Yeah, that's right.
00:38:25Tell them who we are.
00:38:26Yes, we were waiting for Ms. Smith.
00:38:29Lewis Group Maplewood Branch?
00:38:30No such thing, ma'am.
00:38:32And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:38:34Of course.
00:38:36Laura!
00:38:37She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.
00:38:40That's how she gets away with everything.
00:38:42You underestimate her, Cathy.
00:38:44She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.
00:38:46No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:38:50Careful with your words.
00:38:51Both of you.
00:38:53Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:38:58Look who can't even get into a meeting,
00:39:00whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.
00:39:03And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:39:06Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:39:09Used me?
00:39:10Unlike some people.
00:39:12I don't mind being helpful.
00:39:14You're so stupid.
00:39:15She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:39:18Don't worry, Brian.
00:39:19You deserve better.
00:39:21And let's not forget.
00:39:22I'm the new Maplewood Branch Manager of Lewis Group.
00:39:25Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:39:29New Branch Manager, huh?
00:39:32Interesting.
00:39:33Laura Lewis?
00:39:34What are you doing here?
00:39:35Get out of here!
00:39:36You claim to be the mystery guest.
00:39:39Don't play games, Laura.
00:39:41I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:39:46Only the top companies get those.
00:39:49Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:39:51Is that so?
00:39:52Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:39:57You see, I'm not sure if you know, Ms. Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.
00:40:03And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:40:07Escort them out.
00:40:08What?
00:40:09Their visit is over.
00:40:10Oh, come on.
00:40:11This way, please.
00:40:13I'm not leaving.
00:40:15Move.
00:40:16We're not leaving again.
00:40:17Move.
00:40:18Oh, no, no, no.
00:40:19We're not going now.
00:40:20Okay, fine, fine.
00:40:21This isn't over, Laura.
00:40:22You'll see.
00:40:23Thanks for waiting, man.
00:40:28Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:40:32And thank you for defending me.
00:40:36I really appreciate it.
00:40:40Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:40:44Yes, but it's going to be tricky.
00:40:48Why?
00:40:49I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:40:54Yes, Laura.
00:40:59There's something you should know.
00:41:02Is...
00:41:03Is this about Ben?
00:41:05Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.
00:41:09He won't even get past security.
00:41:11Laura, it's not Ben.
00:41:14It's someone else.
00:41:17Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:41:21Yes.
00:41:24Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:41:27She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:41:31She's my ex-fiancee.
00:41:34And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:41:39And...
00:41:44Let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:41:47And for some reason,
00:41:50she's having a hard time moving on.
00:41:53And...
00:41:55You think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting?
00:41:59For...
00:42:03Out of...
00:42:04Jealousy?
00:42:06There's a possibility.
00:42:08She's kind of jealous.
00:42:10Well...
00:42:11All the more reason for you to be there.
00:42:15Besides...
00:42:16I'll be there too.
00:42:19Laura...
00:42:21Would you consider being, I guess, at the meeting?
00:42:26What?
00:42:27Are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too?
00:42:31Maybe a little.
00:42:33But mostly...
00:42:34I want to show them we're a team.
00:42:37Well...
00:42:38It's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.
00:42:41Laura...
00:42:44I don't care about your best.
00:42:49I just want to be by your side.
00:42:52I think I'm falling for you.
00:42:54Brian...
00:42:55I...
00:42:56I appreciate your honesty and...
00:42:57Right now...
00:42:58I...
00:42:59I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:43:02Just with...
00:43:04Everything going on...
00:43:05And...
00:43:06Going on and...
00:43:07It's okay.
00:43:08I just want to be upfront.
00:43:09I'm just not... I just don't really have romance on my mind right now, just with everything going on and going on and...
00:43:18It's okay. I just want to be upfront.
00:43:23And if Chloe tries anything, you won't face her alone.
00:43:30There's just one thing I do need.
00:43:35What is it?
00:43:37A formal dress.
00:43:39Ah, security! She doesn't belong here. This is a private store.
00:43:54Excuse me, we need some assistance. I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:44:03Wow, it's beautiful.
00:44:06It is.
00:44:07I'll try this one on.
00:44:09Don't bother with her. She can't afford anything here. She's just a cleaner. She doesn't deserve to shop here. She has no money.
00:44:18Yeah, exactly. I mean, what are you doing here? Can't you just leave me alone?
00:44:21I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared. I'm here for retail therapy.
00:44:27Oh, please. This store is for the A-list only. Not some cheapskate like you. Says the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:44:34Hey, show some respect.
00:44:36Oh, wow. Typical Laura. Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.
00:44:42I would have asked you, but without me, I'm sure you're already broke.
00:44:46Oh, please. Come on. We'll take the dress.
00:44:48Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:44:51What do you mean you don't sell it? I want it. Name your price.
00:44:56It's not about the price, ma'am. This one was custom-made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress. The entire brand belongs to her.
00:45:03This beautiful dress is for display purposes only. Thank you.
00:45:07It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:45:10What are you talking about? Of course it would suit her. It would fit her just fine.
00:45:14And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:45:18Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.
00:45:25Oh, please. Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group? We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:45:31Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet. You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:45:36Could you please tell me more about this dress?
00:45:40Of course. It was custom-made for Laura Lewis, heiress to the Lewis Group fortune.
00:45:46Hand-stitched in Italy, naturally. Apparently there are many more like it.
00:45:51Displayed in high-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.
00:45:57Laura, do you like this dress?
00:46:00Of course. It's custom-made for me. I'm just here to take what's all ready.
00:46:05Mine.
00:46:06Oh, you can't be serious. There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.
00:46:11Fine, fine. If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on? It would look incredible on me.
00:46:17Miss, this dress is very delicate. If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:46:25Are you calling me fat?
00:46:26Actually, on a second thought. Why don't we just buy the whole brand? How's that sound?
00:46:32Sir, are you serious? You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:46:37This brand is worth at least $50 million. And to buy it for a waitress? Are you out of your mind?
00:46:44Yes. You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:46:48Just one second.
00:46:52Yes, this is Brian Shepherd, CEO of Shepherd Group. I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:46:58I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand. What?
00:47:07Sorry, sir. That brand is not for sale.
00:47:11You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.
00:47:15Mr. Yates, yes, this is Laura Lewis. I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepherd Group.
00:47:27Oh, come on. Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:47:32Exactly. Come on, this is pathetic. You really think this is going to work? It's sad.
00:47:36Excellent. Thank you, Mr. Yates, that's all.
00:47:46Yes?
00:47:51What? Are you willing to submit the brand?
00:47:57Awesome. Thank you.
00:48:02Hello?
00:48:03Yes?
00:48:05Wow. Yes, of course. Absolutely.
00:48:11The store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepherd.
00:48:16The Shepherd Group is the new owner. How may I be of service today, sir?
00:48:20Well, Lauren, I don't know much about fashion, so I would like to give this brand to you.
00:48:27You can't be serious. You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:48:31Don't listen to her, Brian. You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.
00:48:37You're not welcome here. I want the two of these out of my store.
00:48:45I want the two of these out of my store.
00:48:47Of course.
00:48:50Oh, come on.
00:48:51Sir? Ma'am? You're afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:48:53Well, we're not leaving, okay?
00:48:55Hey, hey, hey!
00:48:56This isn't over, Laura!
00:48:58Could I try the dress on now?
00:49:00Of course, Miss Lewis. You just follow me.
00:49:09Wow.
00:49:11Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.
00:49:17Laura, you look breathtaking in this dress.
00:49:21Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:49:28Laura, because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.
00:49:35And that includes this dress.
00:49:40Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:49:44I...
00:49:46I need a moment.
00:49:48Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:49:53Does that mean it could be a yes?
00:49:56Maybe.
00:50:02Hi.
00:50:10Hi.
00:50:11What?
00:50:15Well, well, well.
00:50:17Look who decided to join the party.
00:50:19Playing dress-up again, Laura?
00:50:21One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:50:24And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:50:26You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?
00:50:29For this.
00:50:30This gold digger.
00:50:32You know, Ben.
00:50:34I really cared about you.
00:50:35Even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:50:38I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:50:42Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:50:47Enough!
00:50:49I've had enough of this drama.
00:50:50Yeah, me too.
00:50:52Try that again and you'll regret it.
00:50:55Now get the hell out of my face.
00:50:57Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:50:59Yeah.
00:51:00I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:51:05What?
00:51:06That's impossible.
00:51:08I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:51:12Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group, your name is on the list.
00:51:17What?
00:51:18I think you two won't be getting let in after all.
00:51:21You don't have an invitation.
00:51:23You're just here because of Brian.
00:51:28Let me see this.
00:51:29This doesn't even look real.
00:51:30It's different from mine.
00:51:32Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:51:37This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:51:39Please, right this way.
00:51:43We can continue this discussion later.
00:51:46If you manage to get in.
00:51:51Sir?
00:51:52Madam?
00:51:53We recommend you leave.
00:51:56There you are!
00:51:58How dare you steal my fiancé!
00:52:02There you are!
00:52:04How dare you steal my fiancé!
00:52:06Looks like another relationship fights the dust, Laura.
00:52:09Looks like stealing men is a habit of yours.
00:52:12Get away from him!
00:52:13He's engaged to me!
00:52:15Hey, hey, hey. Hold your horses, Gwen.
00:52:17That ended a long time ago.
00:52:19Engaged to you.
00:52:21Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:52:24Your relationship's history.
00:52:27That was just a little tiff.
00:52:29You really think that could tear us apart?
00:52:32Don't you know who I am?
00:52:34Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:52:37Oh, honey.
00:52:38You're not going to recognize royalty, let alone a duke.
00:52:40She's just a maid, remember?
00:52:42I don't have time for all this drama.
00:52:45Brian?
00:52:47Let's head inside.
00:52:49Brian!
00:52:51How could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:52:54Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:52:57There's nothing left to say, Gloria.
00:52:59Don't make this a scene.
00:53:01Shall we?
00:53:07You okay, Miss Duke?
00:53:10And you are?
00:53:11Amber Smith.
00:53:13I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:53:16What branch? I've never heard of it.
00:53:18What do you want from me?
00:53:19That Laura!
00:53:21She tore up my invitation.
00:53:23Do you think you can get me inside?
00:53:24What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:53:28Please don't waste my time.
00:53:49If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:54:05The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:54:09Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.
00:54:12Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:54:13Good.
00:54:16I need your help with something.
00:54:18What is it?
00:54:20Anything for my little Chloe.
00:54:22It's Brian.
00:54:24Who's that woman? I thought you were...
00:54:26She's a con woman.
00:54:28She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:54:31What?
00:54:33Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:54:37Well, she's pretending to be a Lewis to get close to him.
00:54:41What are you planning?
00:54:43I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:54:48Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:54:52I had no idea she would be so...
00:54:57intense.
00:54:59What do you mean?
00:55:01You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:55:04I mean, you guys are just...
00:55:07Power couple.
00:55:09I see what you're doing.
00:55:11Power couple, you're saying?
00:55:13More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:55:17Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:55:20Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:55:24It's up there.
00:55:26Really?
00:55:28She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:55:30Excuse me.
00:55:31This is my VIP invitation.
00:55:34I can sit wherever I like.
00:55:37Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:55:39This is signed by all three VPs of Lewis Group.
00:55:43Where did you get this?
00:55:45Who did you have to sleep with?
00:55:47That's enough.
00:55:49This is getting us nowhere.
00:55:51Laura is my guest.
00:55:53And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:55:58Got it?
00:56:00Mr. Shepard, what do you see in that woman?
00:56:04Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:56:06She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.
00:56:11What more could you ask for?
00:56:13That's a good question.
00:56:15Not much, actually.
00:56:17Honesty.
00:56:19That's what I want.
00:56:21And love.
00:56:23Things that clearly, Chloe has no idea.
00:56:25I said I was sorry.
00:56:28What more do you want?
00:56:30I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:56:32She's like a daughter to me.
00:56:34I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:56:40One more chance, Brian.
00:56:42Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:56:45Do it, Mr. Shepard.
00:56:47Propose right here, right now.
00:56:50Brian?
00:56:51Well, is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:56:58By forcing a ring on someone?
00:57:01Do it, or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:57:11Don't you dare.
00:57:13You're humiliating yourself.
00:57:15How dare you?
00:57:17Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:57:19Yes.
00:57:22I like it.
00:57:25But I can't imagine someone like her interesting in me.
00:57:30The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:57:35Why would you choose someone like her?
00:57:38Exactly!
00:57:40This woman is trouble.
00:57:41She doesn't belong here.
00:57:42Throw her out!
00:57:44You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?
00:57:48Interesting turn of events.
00:57:51Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:57:55Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress Laura Lewis?
00:58:01You know what, maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:58:06How ridiculous!
00:58:08Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:58:10I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow, did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe.
00:58:20You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that!
00:58:24That's enough!
00:58:25You don't get to talk here!
00:58:27You got mad, Shepard!
00:58:28You dare to go against Miss Duke!
00:58:30And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:58:32Anyone who insults Laura.
00:58:33Leave us with a black eye.
00:58:36He's willing to offend the Duke for her.
00:58:39What kind of charm does she have?
00:58:41I want to be careful, Brian.
00:58:42Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:58:46Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:58:50The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not Shepard Group.
00:58:56Lewis Group RS?
00:59:01You?
00:59:03Don't make me laugh.
00:59:05Security!
00:59:06Remove these two impostors from the premises.
00:59:09Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:59:11Give Brian another chance.
00:59:13Choose, Brian.
00:59:15Me and the future you deserve, or this...
00:59:18Fraud!
00:59:20Chloe.
00:59:22I have everything I ever wanted, right here.
00:59:26In a wooden trade for all the power the Duke's home in Maplewood.
00:59:30Fine.
00:59:36Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:59:38What?
00:59:40You forced my hand, Brian.
00:59:43Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:59:45The Duke family, they can't be serious.
00:59:48Shepard Group is doomed.
00:59:50Brian, you don't have to do this for me.
00:59:53Laura.
00:59:54Laura.
00:59:55I will never let anyone bully you.
00:59:58Let alone them.
01:00:00Thank you, Brian, for...
01:00:03For believing in me, for...
01:00:06Protecting me.
01:00:08Now it's my turn...
01:00:10To protect you.
01:00:11The Shepard Group's stock.
01:00:12At all costs.
01:00:13Don't let it drop...
01:00:14Even one...
01:00:15Cent.
01:00:17Do you understand?
01:00:19Wow.
01:00:20Award-winning performance, Laura.
01:00:22But you can't possibly control the stock market.
01:00:24Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
01:00:25If...
01:00:26The Shepard stock holds...
01:00:27For the next five minutes...
01:00:28You owe me a public apology.
01:00:29Do you understand?
01:00:30Well, award-winning performance, Laura.
01:00:34But you can't possibly control the stock market.
01:00:37Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
01:00:41If the Shepard stock holds for the next five minutes,
01:00:51you owe me a public apology.
01:00:59Deal.
01:01:03Well, looks like your five minutes is up.
01:01:08Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
01:01:14What the?
01:01:16The Shepard Group stock prices?
01:01:18It's going up!
01:01:20This can't be happening.
01:01:21It must be a coincidence.
01:01:29Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
01:01:32There was a huge investment.
01:01:33We couldn't compete.
01:01:34Shepard stock price is being heavily supported.
01:01:38How did you do this?
01:01:40Like I said, Chloe,
01:01:43I'm Laura Lewis.
01:01:46No, you're not.
01:01:47You're just some cleaner.
01:01:48You don't have access to billions.
01:01:50Well, I think it's time for my apology.
01:01:59There's no way I'm apologizing to you.
01:02:02If things were the other way,
01:02:03would you be so quick to forgive me, Chloe?
01:02:06The truth is,
01:02:08everyone here has seen you be a bully
01:02:12and a coward
01:02:14and now a sore loser.
01:02:18This is so humiliating for her.
01:02:26How did she manage that?
01:02:28Maybe she really is a Lewis.
01:02:30Apologize to Miss Lewis.
01:02:32Shut up.
01:02:34Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.
01:02:36Don't forget,
01:02:38the Duke finally owned half of Maplewood.
01:02:40You don't lose that voice.
01:02:41Let's get out of here.
01:02:43Hold on.
01:02:45This is where I belong.
01:02:49And that is my chair.
01:02:53You can't go there.
01:02:54That is the VIP section.
01:02:56Only those invited by the Lewis Group vice presidents
01:02:59get to sit there.
01:03:01Like I said, Chloe,
01:03:03that's my seat.
01:03:05Had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
01:03:13Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene
01:03:16at a signing ceremony
01:03:18between her ex and Mr. Shepherd, wasn't it?
01:03:22Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
01:03:24Is this how you charm all your men?
01:03:26Shall we?
01:03:27My pleasure.
01:03:29What are you doing?
01:03:31Let go.
01:03:33It doesn't matter what happened.
01:03:36I choose to stay by Laura's side.
01:03:39Let's go.
01:03:41Don't be absurd.
01:03:42That seat is reserved for a very important guest.
01:03:46Someone so esteemed,
01:03:48even the vice presidents have to bow low.
01:03:52And how exactly, Mr. Jones?
01:03:57Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
01:04:01Wait.
01:04:02That's Peter Young.
01:04:03Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group.
01:04:08That's Peter Young.
01:04:09He decides which investments are they?
01:04:11It's Chloe Duke.
01:04:12Head of Duke Industries.
01:04:13So glad you could join us.
01:04:15Why is everyone standing around?
01:04:16It's her.
01:04:18She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat.
01:04:21It's embarrassing.
01:04:22That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
01:04:26Specifically the family heir.
01:04:28Please get off the stage.
01:04:30Oh yes.
01:04:31Mr. Young, was it?
01:04:34I think I remember you.
01:04:35You manage my family's investments.
01:04:38Don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:04:42Please get off the stage.
01:04:44That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.
01:04:47I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:04:54I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:05:02This is ridiculous.
01:05:03You, the Lewis heir.
01:05:06Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:05:08You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:05:12Exactly.
01:05:13We ran a background check on her and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work
01:05:18for the Harrison Group.
01:05:19Before that, I could see her in my family's supermarket.
01:05:23See Brian?
01:05:24This is who you've been chasing after.
01:05:26A liar and a cheat.
01:05:28Security.
01:05:29Get this imposter out of here.
01:05:31And everyone here is a witness.
01:05:33Why would any of you trust Laura?
01:05:36If any of you dares to harm her, you have to go through me first.
01:05:41Brian, she's just a nobody.
01:05:45She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.
01:05:48They didn't even want her.
01:05:50What exactly do you see in her?
01:05:52Escort this imposter out of here.
01:05:54Now.
01:05:55Oh, Peter.
01:06:03Peter, do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:06:06Hey, Mr. Yates.
01:06:08I'm so glad you could join us.
01:06:12Miss Lewis.
01:06:13Sorry about the delay.
01:06:15And for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:06:17It's no trouble, Mr. Yates.
01:06:20Luckily, I haven't been alone.
01:06:22I've had the great company of my very loyal friend.
01:06:28Wait a minute.
01:06:29She's Miss Lewis.
01:06:30Is this a joke?
01:06:32Mr. Young, you're new to the Lewis Group.
01:06:35So, I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.
01:06:39But you listened to lies without checking the facts.
01:06:43And almost called the police.
01:06:46Tell me, Mr. Young, who put you up to this?
01:06:51Was it my uncle, Ian Lewis?
01:06:56I knew it.
01:07:00Consider this your termination.
01:07:03I get it now.
01:07:05This is all an act, right?
01:07:07Chloe, what are you doing?
01:07:08We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:07:10Work with them?
01:07:11Are you blind?
01:07:12This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:07:15That's enough, young lady.
01:07:17You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.
01:07:22Oh, Chloe, I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:07:25I think you need some professional help.
01:07:29Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:07:32Chloe, that's enough.
01:07:34It's ridiculous.
01:07:35If you were really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.
01:07:38So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:07:40Show us the ring!
01:07:41Show us the ring!
01:07:43Show us the ring!
01:07:44Show us the ring!
01:07:45Show us the ring!
01:07:46Show us the ring!
01:07:47Show us the ring!
01:07:48Show us the ring!
01:07:49Who are you to make demands of me?
01:07:52I don't answer to anyone but myself.
01:07:55I don't need any of your validation.
01:08:00There's a ring!
01:08:03There's a ring!
01:08:08Vice Presidents!
01:08:09I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.
01:08:12This woman is an imposter!
01:08:13Miss Lewis, we apologise for the delay.
01:08:16How could you just let that con woman sit there?
01:08:19Get her out of here!
01:08:20This seat was always for Miss Lewis.
01:08:23She's the special guest we've been waiting for, the investment queen.
01:08:29The real heir to Lewis Group, Laura Lewis.
01:08:34She was a divorced host wife, a janitor. How can she?
01:08:37She can't be. It's a lie, I'm telling you. It's a lie.
01:08:40Do you think we'd lie? We run Lewis Group.
01:08:44Oh, Chloe, you assaulted me earlier.
01:08:49And you came to this meeting to what? Sabotage it.
01:08:54You'll be hearing from our legal team.
01:08:59Is this true, Miss Duke? Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:09:04Yes, it's all true. She fooled us all.
01:09:08The Jews tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewoods and control everything themselves.
01:09:13I had no idea. But I'm on your side.
01:09:17I can give you everything you need. All the resources in Maplewoods.
01:09:22Miss Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this?
01:09:26An eye for an eye.
01:09:30Since Miss Duke here loves ruining things, I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:09:42I want them bankrupt in ten minutes.
01:09:45You're bluffing. You're nobody. You'll always be a nobody. And you can't touch me.
01:09:51Then consider this a test, Chloe. I didn't need my family's support with Shepard and I certainly don't need it now.
01:10:00Chloe, you dug your own grave.
01:10:03You think you can destroy Maplewoods leading family with just the Shepard group? Please.
01:10:10Hmm. We'll see.
01:10:18Dad? Slow down. What are you talking about?
01:10:22No. That's impossible.
01:10:27Chloe, what have you done? Years of hard work. Destroyed in minutes.
01:10:35What did you do?
01:10:37Well, Chloe, isn't this what you wanted? To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:10:44This is impossible. It's impossible!
01:10:49Chloe, what have you done? The news is everywhere.
01:10:53Shepard's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market.
01:10:56They're hammering our shares.
01:10:58Are you sure it's just Shepard's?
01:11:01Yes! Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato.
01:11:05We could go bankrupt. You've ruined everything!
01:11:09Don't worry, Mr. Duke. When your company does go bankrupt, I'll buy it. At a fire sale price. Your employees won't even be affected.
01:11:18Brilliant! A masterstroke, Ms. Lewis.
01:11:23Now, this is my event. Please leave.
01:11:28Brian, I did this for us! Everything I did, I did for us, Brian!
01:11:34Chloe, you need help. These feelings you have for me, it's not love. It's obsession.
01:11:45Enough! If you don't want to ruin everything completely, you'll come with me. Right now.
01:11:51No!
01:11:52Right now!
01:11:53No! No!
01:11:55Brian!
01:11:56Laura! This isn't over! Get out of me!
01:12:05What is going on here? Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:12:14Shepard Group. They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group for Maplewood.
01:12:19They're handling all future construction projects.
01:12:21That can't be! What about us? That was our project!
01:12:25Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian. Harrison Group is practically out. We have no chance.
01:12:31We can't give up that easily. Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as General Manager.
01:12:37In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with the new heir.
01:12:40You're right. If we can just meet with the new heir, we can bypass the Shepards and meet directly with the Lewis Group.
01:12:47We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.
01:12:51That's right.
01:12:55Vice Presidents! Allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.
01:13:01I'm sure I've mentioned him before.
01:13:03Mr. Shepard! It's finally a pleasure to meet you!
01:13:06We've looked into your company's financial review. Very impressive.
01:13:11Thank you. Thank you, bud. A large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.
01:13:17She practically saved me from disaster. Three times over now.
01:13:22Brian, you can just call me Laura.
01:13:25Ms. Lewis' recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard. Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:13:32Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is golden. Seize it. A woman like Laura is not easy to find.
01:13:41Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.
01:13:51Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:13:53Laura? Hardly. I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.
01:14:00So you're Laura's uncle?
01:14:04In the flesh.
01:14:06So Laura really is your niece?
01:14:08Yes, little Laura. She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.
01:14:15Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood. I think he was a Harrison.
01:14:20Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side. Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?
01:14:28And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?
01:14:31If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:14:34Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Miss Duke. We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:14:40What if I, what if I fail? My family is already ruined.
01:14:46Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say. But if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family will get back everything you've lost.
01:14:57Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side. How can I possibly get the ring?
01:15:01There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly.
01:15:10Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:15:13Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.
01:15:19Laura.
01:15:20It's so good to see you.
01:15:22And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps. How have you been?
01:15:28I've been well, Uncle Ian. Thank you for asking.
01:15:32I see you've been busy keeping Lewis' group afloat.
01:15:36Yes.
01:15:37Kind of been easy.
01:15:38Somebody had to.
01:15:39I mean, after you left me with everything to do, without a safe pair of hands, I hate to think it would have happened to the company.
01:15:47Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard, you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.
01:15:55Yes. Minor mistakes. Minor.
01:15:58Don't worry, Uncle Ian. I won't hold it against you.
01:16:01Good. Well, cheers to you coming back here and the Lewis' group.
01:16:10Oh!
01:16:11I'm so sorry, Laura. How clumsy of me.
01:16:15No, no worries, Uncle Ian. I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.
01:16:21Then get cleaned up.
01:16:22Of course.
01:16:23Right away, just down to the left.
01:16:31Use it wisely.
01:16:33Oh, I will.
01:16:34Hey, Laura. How's that?
01:16:50Hello, Brian. Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:16:53Chloe, how in the hell did you get Laura's phone?
01:16:57Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:17:01Listen, Chloe, don't hurt her. Please.
01:17:06I'll do anything.
01:17:08Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs.
01:17:12Now.
01:17:14Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.
01:17:18Well, you certainly do have your ways.
01:17:22Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up. I am sorry. How clumsy.
01:17:29And don't forget your phone. I retrieved it for you.
01:17:32Thank you, Uncle Ian.
01:17:34Lovely to see you again.
01:17:35Yeah.
01:17:36I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.
01:17:39At the banquet.
01:17:41I'll see you then.
01:17:43Will do. Looking forward to it.
01:17:48Laura! Laura!
01:17:50Where are you?
01:17:51Laura!
01:17:53Laura!
01:17:54Where are you?
01:17:56Oh, my God. Laura.
01:17:58Laura, where are you?
01:17:59Laura!
01:18:04Gotcha.
01:18:07You weren't expecting that, were you?
01:18:09Finally.
01:18:10Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.
01:18:23What the?
01:18:24Laura, where are you? Laura? Laura?
01:18:26Go shut your mouth.
01:18:28Chloe.
01:18:30What have you done?
01:18:31You out of your mind?
01:18:32Out of my mind!
01:18:33You were the one that left me for that tramp and destroyed my life!
01:18:37That's not true!
01:18:38You were the one who messed up!
01:18:41Brian!
01:18:42Laura!
01:18:44Stay where you are.
01:18:46You better not come alone.
01:18:47Shut up this knife, Chloe.
01:18:50This is insane!
01:18:52Insane?
01:18:53I did this for us, Brian!
01:18:56We were meant to be together.
01:18:58Oh, my God.
01:18:59Us?
01:19:00You've gone crazy!
01:19:01And you're out of here!
01:19:02Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious offence.
01:19:06They're gonna lock you up for years!
01:19:09You think I care?
01:19:11About jail time?
01:19:12All I care about is tearing you two apart!
01:19:15You don't deserve him!
01:19:17What you've done?
01:19:19You've destroyed my life!
01:19:21My company, everything!
01:19:23Now I'm gonna destroy your life!
01:19:26Give me the family ring now!
01:19:29Give it to me!
01:19:30This is about the ring.
01:19:33Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:19:37You know, Chloe?
01:19:39Trying to kill me.
01:19:41That's foolish.
01:19:43Because who do you think is gonna win?
01:19:45You?
01:19:47That little knife?
01:19:48Or...
01:19:50Me?
01:19:52With something a little bit more persuasive.
01:20:01Freeze!
01:20:02Don't move anyone!
01:20:06Don't move!
01:20:08You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.
01:20:10Miss Lewis?
01:20:12Having fun without me?
01:20:14I'm hurt.
01:20:16Brian!
01:20:18Are you hurt?
01:20:19No, I'm okay.
01:20:21I'm okay.
01:20:23Tell me, Chloe.
01:20:25Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:20:28Why should I tell you?
01:20:30You're gonna kill me anyway!
01:20:32Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:20:34But if you don't talk,
01:20:37your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:20:41Oh, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:20:44So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:20:47Talk, or face the consequences.
01:20:50Fine.
01:20:52It was Ian Lewis.
01:20:53He...
01:20:54He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the banker today.
01:20:59Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:21:01I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:21:06Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:21:08Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:21:10Brian.
01:21:21This is crazy.
01:21:22Are we really sure we can do this?
01:21:24All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:21:26Absolutely.
01:21:28The Lewis Group is under new leadership.
01:21:30We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:21:32Exactly.
01:21:33We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:21:36There's Ian Lewis now.
01:21:37You can introduce us. Let's go.
01:21:39Yeah.
01:21:42Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:21:43I'm Amber Smith.
01:21:44We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:21:46This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.
01:21:48How do you do?
01:21:49We're the company that...
01:21:50Yes, I know who you are.
01:21:52Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:21:56Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:22:02Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:22:03Could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:22:08The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:22:11Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:22:15A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:22:18Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group,
01:22:23Miss Laura Lewis.
01:22:25Look, everybody, attention.
01:22:27Attention, please.
01:22:28There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:22:34I just got notice from a phone call a couple of minutes ago that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:22:41And tragically, she hasn't made it. She has not survived.
01:22:45What? Laura Lewis is dead?
01:22:51It doesn't matter now. She's gone.
01:22:54Mr. Lewis, is this new...
01:22:55A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:22:58But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.
01:23:02Hold on! Who said that I'm dead?
01:23:07Laura!
01:23:14I don't understand. What's happening?
01:23:17Laura? But weren't you...
01:23:20My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:23:24There seems to be some...
01:23:26...misunderstanding.
01:23:27Laura, what are you doing here?
01:23:29You gotta stop this. If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:23:33I'll say this once. Back off, Ben.
01:23:40Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:23:43As I'm sure you know, tonight, I officially reclaim my title.
01:23:50As the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:23:54Perhaps...
01:23:56You could make some room for me.
01:23:58Uncle Ian?
01:23:59Impossible.
01:24:00How are you still alive?
01:24:02Well, clearly I am alive, and well, so...
01:24:05Why don't we get this started?
01:24:06No.
01:24:07You're not the rightful heir.
01:24:10You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:24:14Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument that you have?
01:24:16That I got married too quickly?
01:24:19Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger, and left me to work tirelessly, keeping the company together.
01:24:27Uncle Ian, retire. Enjoy your retirement.
01:24:31Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:24:34No. There can only be one heir, and that's me.
01:24:38And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:24:41You think a ring makes an heir. You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:24:50Give that back to me.
01:24:51This.
01:24:52Yes.
01:24:53You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:24:57Give it back.
01:24:59True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you.
01:25:06Not some stupid ring.
01:25:08My ring!
01:25:09My ring!
01:25:10What have you done? Where is it?
01:25:13My ring!
01:25:15Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.
01:25:18How dare you!
01:25:20Let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.
01:25:25Talk. Or face the consequences.
01:25:29Fine.
01:25:30It was Ian Lewis.
01:25:32He...
01:25:33He said he helped your industry if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:25:39Oh, quite the spectacle, Miss Lewis.
01:25:42Security, escort him out.
01:25:45And Ian, don't fall over.
01:25:47It's all lies!
01:25:48It's all lies!
01:25:49Fakery!
01:25:50It's fake news!
01:25:51The proof is clear!
01:25:52Get him out of here!
01:25:53Now!
01:25:55I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:26:01Turns out reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:26:07Luckily, these past few days I've had Mr. Shepherd by my side.
01:26:14And he has been a great support.
01:26:18Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:26:24I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:26:32Shepherd Group.
01:26:34What?
01:26:35Laura, hold on!
01:26:36This was never my idea.
01:26:37This was all Kathy and Amber's fault.
01:26:39I don't want a divorce.
01:26:40I don't want a divorce.
01:26:41What?
01:26:42Then what are you saying?
01:26:43You came to me first!
01:26:44Classic Ben.
01:26:45Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.
01:26:50Just don't shut Harrison Group out.
01:26:52Just give me another chance.
01:26:54How could I shut you out?
01:26:55I'm just a cleaner, remember?
01:26:58I'm just a useless housewife.
01:27:01I don't have that power.
01:27:02What are you talking about?
01:27:03What?
01:27:04No, come on!
01:27:05Sorry!
01:27:06No, please!
01:27:07No!
01:27:09Um, Mr. Shepherd?
01:27:11Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:27:13I was wondering if...
01:27:16Maybe you wanted to grab dinner.
01:27:19Sometime.
01:27:21On me.
01:27:23Miss Lewis.
01:27:24I'm serious.
01:27:27I would love to.
