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

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