Return Of The Secret Heiress - Full Episodes
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.
00:00:21Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:25They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:29Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:35Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunchtime.
00:00:45Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:47Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:00:50Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.
00:00:58But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
00:01:06Do I know you?
00:01:09Wait, what are you doing?
00:01:13What are you doing?
00:01:14You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.
00:01:16Why are you messing with our company funds?
00:01:18This is incredible.
00:01:20What's going on?
00:01:22The turning is him.
00:01:23It's failing.
00:01:24The price is holding.
00:01:27Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:34We met before.
00:01:35They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard Day.
00:01:38Hold on.
00:01:39Tell me.
00:01:40How could I ever repay for this?
00:01:42If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:52Jason, can we have fire now?
00:02:01Mr. Yates.
00:02:02What?
00:02:03Only two bodyguards this time?
00:02:05You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:07No, ma'am.
00:02:08I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:02:09Now, listen.
00:02:10Everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Laws Group.
00:02:26Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:30Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:36Look, today is Ben's birthday.
00:02:38Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:41Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:46Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:02:51Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you onto the house. For my sake.
00:03:06Ma'am, divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:16Why?
00:03:17You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:19The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:03:25The Shepard Group.
00:03:26And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:03:30The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:03:35I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:37I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:40Oh, you. A cleaning woman. Handing out million dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.
00:03:50I did. It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:54I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:58What are you doing here?
00:04:00Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:04Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:07Local royalty.
00:04:09A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:12And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:04:15Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it, Ben?
00:04:21What's going on?
00:04:24Is this why you want a divorce?
00:04:27Because of her?
00:04:28Oh, please.
00:04:29I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:04:31You're still a cleaner.
00:04:33We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:35Growing apart?
00:04:38No.
00:04:39No, I won't sign any agreement then.
00:04:45I won't sign.
00:04:47Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:52Ben.
00:04:53Alright.
00:04:54Here.
00:04:55A hundred thousand dollars.
00:04:56Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:59A hundred thousand dollars?
00:05:01I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:07Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:10Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:11You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:14This is our act of charity to work.
00:05:17Here.
00:05:18A million dollars.
00:05:19Take this.
00:05:20You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:22Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:25I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this since none of you respect me.
00:05:35A cleaning lady.
00:05:37Threatening us.
00:05:38I'm so scared.
00:05:40Just leave.
00:05:41You already make this house stink.
00:05:51Thank God she's gone.
00:05:52Good riddance to her.
00:05:55Sir?
00:05:56Laura Lewis's information.
00:05:59She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:06:04No wonder why she wants to partner with her.
00:06:06Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:09Divorce her?
00:06:11Wait a minute.
00:06:13Don't you remember?
00:06:14She's the one who helped us with a SME contract three years ago.
00:06:19a sweet contract three years ago.
00:06:21Yeah, she's saved out of hiding now.
00:06:24Remember?
00:06:26Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him
00:06:28a hundred million dollar contract to?
00:06:31I don't know.
00:06:33Let's get to the vinyl news.
00:06:38Hey, what are you doing?
00:06:39Let go of me.
00:06:40You attacked Amber.
00:06:41Apologize this instant.
00:06:46Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:48We gave you a generous divorce settlement,
00:06:50you refused it, and now you're stealing.
00:06:53She couldn't afford it.
00:06:54You're a thief.
00:07:02That's mine, give it back!
00:07:03Hey!
00:07:04That's enough!
00:07:07Maura, I want to say thank you properly
00:07:10for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:12It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard,
00:07:15but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:18You see, it's...
00:07:19Who are you?
00:07:20Maura's new squeeze.
00:07:22Excuse me, do you know who I am?
00:07:24Is this true?
00:07:25You hooked up with this man
00:07:27while you were married to my son?
00:07:28Shame on you!
00:07:29Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:30For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:07:34I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:36Oh please, a big shot like Brian Shepard
00:07:38wouldn't be called dead with a cleaner.
00:07:40You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:43That's really interesting considering
00:07:45I thought you were the one
00:07:46that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:49That's ridiculous.
00:07:50He doesn't look like that.
00:07:52My ring.
00:07:53Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:07:55Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:59Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:08:01Now.
00:08:02Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:08:03Who the heck is this man?
00:08:05Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:07It's a lie, ma'am.
00:08:08This is none of your business.
00:08:10All proud dead bodies.
00:08:11You're not going anywhere
00:08:12until that's what you tell us what's going on.
00:08:15We are the Harrisons.
00:08:16You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:18Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group,
00:08:20you're nobody.
00:08:21Now go back.
00:08:22What?
00:08:23Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:08:25That's a lie.
00:08:26Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.
00:08:28You come back here and explain yourself.
00:08:30Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.
00:08:35Laura, does Ben even know
00:08:37you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:40Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:44I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:47After how they treated you.
00:08:50Maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:51No.
00:08:52Um.
00:08:53No.
00:08:54The event will proceed.
00:08:56Besides, I'll be there.
00:08:59There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:04Who are you, truly?
00:09:07You'll find out.
00:09:07Mr. Shepard.
00:09:09Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:12Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're going to have a meeting.
00:09:24We're going to have a meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today.
00:09:30Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:34Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:40Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:09:42I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:44Ben Harrison, you're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:58After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City Royalty.
00:10:03Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:07Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:09Security, get that woman out of here.
00:10:11We don't need cleaners at this event.
00:10:14Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:15This is a business event, after all.
00:10:18Business?
00:10:19You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:10:22A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:10:25Just get out.
00:10:26Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:29You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:31Oh, Ben.
00:10:33Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:36Oh, Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:38Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:40You don't belong here.
00:10:42Just get out.
00:10:48That's what you get.
00:10:54This contract is mine to give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:01Don't be ridiculous.
00:11:02This is insane.
00:11:03Who do you think you are?
00:11:04Yeah, put that down.
00:11:05You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:06Security?
00:11:07Security?
00:11:08She's lost a mind.
00:11:09This is a disaster.
00:11:11Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't
00:11:18deserve it.
00:11:19You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:24You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:35You're so silly, Lauren.
00:11:37Oh, please, honey.
00:11:38You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:41Security?
00:11:42Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:47I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds, but after careful consideration,
00:11:49I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:11:54You really think that the Shepherd group and I could be torn up by something that you've
00:12:06done?
00:12:07You have no authority here.
00:12:08Of course she has the authority.
00:12:14You have no authority here.
00:12:16Of course she has the authority.
00:12:24That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:12:26What is he doing here?
00:12:28Mr. Shepard? How does he know her?
00:12:30Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:32Laura, are you alright?
00:12:36Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.
00:12:38There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:40There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:43This contract with Shepard Group is officially terminated.
00:12:47Effective immediately.
00:12:51Wait a minute. This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:53It's her. She ruined the contract.
00:12:56You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:58An affair? She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:13:04Mom, please, it's okay. This man is...
00:13:06Don't touch me!
00:13:08That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone,
00:13:11has an affair and you just stand there?
00:13:13You're a disgrace.
00:13:14An adulterer.
00:13:15You deserve to be ar-
00:13:16Shut up!
00:13:20Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess,
00:13:23but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:13:26Tricked?
00:13:27Why don't you answer a question yourself, then?
00:13:31What was my name before we got married?
00:13:35Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:37Lewis Group?
00:13:38The Financial Giants?
00:13:40There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:44That's crazy.
00:13:46There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:49That's absurd.
00:13:50It's...
00:13:51It's...
00:13:52It's...
00:13:53It's absurd!
00:13:54A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:13:58Yeah.
00:13:59Yeah, it's a lie.
00:14:00It's a lie.
00:14:01This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:14:02In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:14:05She's nothing special.
00:14:07She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:10I was just a waitress.
00:14:13How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:15First time I met her, she was in need of waitress at the diner.
00:14:18Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:14:20When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:23Mm-hmm.
00:14:24Now look at me.
00:14:25I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:27And look at her.
00:14:28Still just a clear.
00:14:30Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:34She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:36She's lying, Mr. Shepard.
00:14:38She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:41Let's make something clear.
00:14:45I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:49I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:56Don't lie.
00:14:57You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:15:00Oops.
00:15:01That roof was built with lies.
00:15:04Yes, Cathy.
00:15:05You never respected me.
00:15:07And Ben?
00:15:08Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:11And the cheating.
00:15:13I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:15:17You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:15:21If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Cathy.
00:15:28Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:31From everything.
00:15:37Wait, wait, wait.
00:15:38Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:41And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:42I don't think so.
00:15:43You're a cleaner.
00:15:44You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:46Nobody cares about you.
00:15:48Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:52I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
00:15:58Now, I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:16:04I think all jobs are important.
00:16:06Right, Mom?
00:16:07Ben, what are you doing?
00:16:09But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:16:14A janitor.
00:16:16Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:24You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:29Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:16:32This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:37I, but, well...
00:16:39A lie, you say?
00:16:40Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:16:44But I don't recognize you.
00:16:46Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:48Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:53This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:57But the contract...
00:16:59I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:17:01So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:06Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:08Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis involvement.
00:17:12I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:16Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:18Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:28Ms. Smith, you lied to us.
00:17:32You destroyed everything.
00:17:34What?
00:17:35No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:17:36I can explain.
00:17:38Lewis?
00:17:39Lewis Family Group?
00:17:41This can't be.
00:17:42Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:44Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:49Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:54And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:18:01Everyone, listen to me.
00:18:03Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
00:18:07A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:14The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:17Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:22Ms. Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:32Help!
00:18:33Mom!
00:18:34Someone get her doctor!
00:18:35Mom!
00:18:36It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:42Indeed.
00:18:43Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:56What?
00:18:57What the hell?
00:18:59Mom, this is not all on me.
00:19:01Not on you?
00:19:02I was trying to help!
00:19:04She cheated on you with Shepard, flaunted their affair.
00:19:09Exactly.
00:19:10And those dresses?
00:19:11Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:19:14Ms. Smith, how could you do this?
00:19:17We trusted you completely.
00:19:19No, no.
00:19:20I got Ben the deal.
00:19:22I had no idea Shepard would fall for Bora.
00:19:25She's a liar!
00:19:27Oh, stop it, Amber.
00:19:28You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:19:31Lied?
00:19:32You're on my side!
00:19:35And anyways, I have a plan.
00:19:37The Shepards are no one special.
00:19:40We can expose Laura and all her lies.
00:19:42Go national.
00:19:43We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:45Now, if you'll excuse me.
00:19:48I have a very important phone call to you.
00:19:50Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:19:51Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:19:52It's alright, Laura.
00:19:53You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:19:54Can I ask you something?
00:19:55Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:19:56Maybe a hotel?
00:19:57Don't...
00:19:58Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:19:59I'll be fine.
00:20:00Um...
00:20:01Excuse me, you can just drop me off and just...
00:20:02Actually, Laura.
00:20:03Actually, Laura.
00:20:04Actually, Laura.
00:20:05There is something else.
00:20:06Would you consider going off for dinner sometime?
00:20:07Just casually, of course.
00:20:08Mr. Shepard, are...
00:20:09Are you asking me out?
00:20:10Please.
00:20:11Call me Brian.
00:20:12No.
00:20:13No.
00:20:14No.
00:20:15No.
00:20:16No.
00:20:17No.
00:20:18No.
00:20:19No.
00:20:20No.
00:20:21No.
00:20:23No.
00:20:24No.
00:20:25No.
00:20:26No.
00:20:27No.
00:20:28No.
00:20:29No.
00:20:30No.
00:20:31No.
00:20:32No.
00:20:33No.
00:20:34No.
00:20:35No.
00:20:36And yes.
00:20:37Technically, you're single now.
00:20:38Yes, that may be true, but um...
00:20:39Going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:20:47Proper?
00:20:48Laura...
00:20:49I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:20:52Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:20:57Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:21:00So what do you say? Dinner? Just two people getting to know each other?
00:21:07I'm sorry, Mr. Shepherd, I actually have another appointment tonight, so I'm kidding.
00:21:16Wait, Laura...
00:21:17Just here is fine.
00:21:19Laura?
00:21:22Laura, who is it?
00:21:28Laura, wait!
00:21:30Jason, find out who owns that car and do it fast.
00:21:43Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:21:45It's Amber Smith.
00:21:46Mr. Lewis? I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:53I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith. How did you get this number?
00:21:57Don't worry about that right now. I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis. Someone I know very well.
00:22:04Impersonating my niece? And where is this fake Laura?
00:22:11Right here in Maplewood. And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:16Well, what is she doing exactly? And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:22:25In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right? I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:22:33All will be revealed then.
00:22:35Very well. I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting. But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:22:42It won't be. Trust me, Mr. Lewis. Thank you, Mr.
00:22:52That little rascal, Laura. I wonder what she's up to now.
00:22:57That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family butler.
00:23:04Oh. The Lewis family? That's interesting. Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:23:14I'm not sure.
00:23:18Brian! There you are. I've missed you.
00:23:21Chloe.
00:23:23What are you up to?
00:23:24Chloe. What are you doing here?
00:23:26What do you mean? Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:30We ended things for a reason.
00:23:33It was just one teensy mistake. I was... I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:37Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:39It's a mistake you said. You cheated on me.
00:23:46Is this your new fling? Ex-divorcey. Used a clean floor. It's quite the catch, you say.
00:23:54Look, my relationship with her is none of your business. And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:24:01Please. An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman. It's a classic story.
00:24:09That's enough. I've got the hell out of my office.
00:24:13You want to be careful, Brian. Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:18If you want Shepherd Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.
00:24:26Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:31This is it. The Lewis Group vice presidents are on the top floor.
00:24:39Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:44I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:48Well, well, well. Look who it is. What a surprise.
00:24:53Did Brian teach you already? That's none of your business.
00:24:58Now, move aside, please.
00:24:59Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
00:25:03You really think you can just ruin my events again? Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:25:06Don't you have any shame?
00:25:08If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:25:12Oh, the nurse. After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?
00:25:17Seriously? I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:24Oh, that's gold. You really think that they're gonna let you in, Laura? Please, you're no one compared to me.
00:25:30You don't deserve to be here.
00:25:31The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:25:37And you, idiot, believing every lie that she tells you. Wake up, Ben.
00:25:43Oh, Laura! Laura, come on. Why do you always pull this on me?
00:25:47I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:25:50Well, I know what this is.
00:25:53So stupid.
00:25:55Oh, shut your trap. Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:25:59He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:26:03Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Lose Group.
00:26:07And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:26:10Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this.
00:26:20Oh, that's rich. You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.
00:26:26I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.
00:26:30Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?
00:26:34You mean my uncle? Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:39Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:26:43And besides, this looks fake. She's a liar.
00:26:47This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:53It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the Vice Presidential Suite.
00:26:58She's lying. They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:27:06Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?
00:27:09Not that I know of.
00:27:11See? She's lying.
00:27:12There you have it, Laura. Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:27:17Go on, get lost before things get worse.
00:27:22Here, take this one. Lead me to the Vice Presidents.
00:27:26You have no idea what you just did.
00:27:30There will be consequences.
00:27:33Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,
00:27:40why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?
00:27:45Security! Security! We need this woman removed immediately. She is harassing me.
00:27:49We're done with your games, Laura. You're just a fraud.
00:27:52Ma'am, please move me.
00:27:53What?
00:27:54Hold on!
00:27:56Brian Shepard?
00:27:59You think money buys you the right to walk all over people? Well, it doesn't.
00:28:03Yeah. Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?
00:28:06What other plans do you have to destroy this town?
00:28:09Get you out?
00:28:11After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.
00:28:13Don't play dumb.
00:28:15We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:28:17How long has this little affair been going on?
00:28:19You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son!
00:28:21Hold on a second. An affair? You think Laura and I? You people are unbelievable.
00:28:32Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP. We have a situation.
00:28:37What, you think you can just boss the manager around now? Is that it?
00:28:40We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:43Ms. Lewis, apologies for the delay. How can I help you this evening?
00:28:45Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:49It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:52These people don't think that I belong here.
00:28:56Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:59A cleaner? Nonsense.
00:29:01I personally agreed to Ms. Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:29:05Exactly.
00:29:07Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:13I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:29:17No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.
00:29:22She's been this way since my son divorced her. She's insane.
00:29:25Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.
00:29:29She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.
00:29:33No! It's a lie! Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too!
00:29:37You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.
00:29:47Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?
00:29:51Wait, is that why you're covering for her? Huh? Because of the affair? Because she slept with you?
00:29:56Excuse me? Who are you and how dare you speak to Ms. Lewis that way?
00:29:59Enough of this! Shepard! That's enough!
00:30:02Have you know, embarrass yourself enough?
00:30:04This is Lewis Group property.
00:30:06Behave or I'll call security!
00:30:08But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access!
00:30:11She shouldn't be here.
00:30:13Since you're having trouble understanding them, let me make it clear.
00:30:17This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.
00:30:21It's mine. To come or go as I please.
00:30:29Thank you for stepping in, Brian. I owe you one. We'll talk about this later.
00:30:35Well, it seems that divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Rivers.
00:30:48Come in!
00:30:50Excuse me, Vice Presidents.
00:30:53I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Makewood Branch.
00:30:56I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today?
00:31:00Maplewood Branch.
00:31:02Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Ms. Smith.
00:31:07Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:31:11Ian Lewis, Mr. Lewis, reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:31:19Oh, expansion plans? Ms. Smith, a decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:31:27And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.
00:31:31But Ian Lewis assured me that...
00:31:35Ms. Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.
00:31:38Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.
00:31:41Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...
00:31:44Ms. Smith, we'd like you to leave. If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:47We'll call security.
00:31:53Hey, stop there. These elevators are VIP only. Back, please.
00:31:58Of course. My apologies.
00:32:06Laura?
00:32:07Laura?
00:32:10Vice-Presidents! It's so good to see all of you again.
00:32:13Ms. Lewis, it's been too long.
00:32:17Your return is a lifesaver, Ms. Lewis. The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:32:25The board are begging you to come back, Ms. Lewis.
00:32:30Well, please sit. Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.
00:32:37We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.
00:32:42Local powerhouses and smaller players, too. They'll all be there in one spot.
00:32:47Ms. Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith. She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.
00:33:00She said that, did she? Well, Ms. Smith is a liar. There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:33:06She lied so blatantly. It was, it's unbelievable.
00:33:10But, don't worry. I found a much more suitable partner.
00:33:16Shepard Group.
00:33:18Shepard Group? Their rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:33:22Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:25So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:33:29Oh, don't worry about Amber. I've got plans for her.
00:33:37Yes, Lewis.
00:33:40Consider this your official invitation to the meeting.
00:33:45From us.
00:33:47Cheers. Cheers.
00:33:58No, I'm not leaving. What are you talking about? No, come on.
00:34:01Wait! I'm Amber Smith. I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch. What are you doing? These are my guests.
00:34:06Yeah, that's right. Tell them who we are.
00:34:07Yes, we were waiting for Ms. Smith.
00:34:12Lewis Group, Maplewood branch. No such thing, ma'am. And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:34:17Oh, of course. Laura! She's probably sleeping with the manager as well. That's how she gets away with everything.
00:34:24You underestimate her, Kathy. She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents. No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:34:32Careful with your words. Both of you. Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:38Look who can't even get into a meeting. Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents. And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:34:49Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:34:52Used me? Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:56You're so stupid. She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:35:01Don't worry, Brian. You deserve better. And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group, appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:35:13New branch manager, huh? Interesting.
00:35:16Laura Lewis? What are you doing here? Get out of here!
00:35:21You claim to be the mystery guest.
00:35:24Don't play games, Laura. I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting. Only the top companies get those. Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:35:34Is that so?
00:35:36Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:35:40You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company. And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:35:51Escort them out.
00:35:52What?
00:35:53Their visit is over.
00:35:55Oh, come on. This way, please.
00:35:57I'm not leaving.
00:35:59Move. We're not leaving again. Move. Oh, no, no, no. We're not going. Now.
00:36:04This isn't over, Laura. You'll see.
00:36:06Thanks for waiting, Ben.
00:36:12Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:16And thank you for defending me. I really appreciate it.
00:36:24Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:28Yes, but it's going to be tricky.
00:36:31Why? I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:36:40Yes.
00:36:42Laura.
00:36:44There's something you should know.
00:36:46Is...
00:36:48Is this about Ben?
00:36:50Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems. He won't even get past security.
00:36:55Laura.
00:36:57It's not Ben.
00:36:59It's someone else.
00:37:02Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:37:07Yes.
00:37:09Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:37:12She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:37:14She's my ex-fiancee.
00:37:18And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:37:24And...
00:37:26Let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:37:30And for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.
00:37:35Moving on.
00:37:37And...
00:37:39You think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting?
00:37:43For...
00:37:47Out of...
00:37:48Jealousy?
00:37:50There's a possibility.
00:37:52She's kind of jealous.
00:37:54Well...
00:37:56All the more reason for you to be there.
00:37:59So...
00:38:01I'll be there too.
00:38:03Laura...
00:38:05Would you consider being my guest at the meeting?
00:38:10What?
00:38:12Are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too?
00:38:16Maybe a little.
00:38:18But mostly...
00:38:20I want to show them your team.
00:38:22Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.
00:38:27Laura...
00:38:28I don't care about your best.
00:38:34I just want to be by your side.
00:38:37I think I'm falling for you.
00:38:42Ryan...
00:38:43I...
00:38:44I appreciate your honesty and...
00:38:51Right now, I'm just not...
00:38:54I...
00:38:55I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:38:59Just with everything going on...
00:39:01And...
00:39:02Going on and...
00:39:03It's okay.
00:39:05I just want to be upfront.
00:39:07And if Chloe tries anything...
00:39:10You won't face her alone.
00:39:15There's just...
00:39:16One thing...
00:39:17I do need.
00:39:19What is it?
00:39:21A formal dress.
00:39:22Uh...
00:39:23Security!
00:39:24She doesn't belong here.
00:39:25This is a private store.
00:39:26Excuse me.
00:39:27We...
00:39:28Need some assistance.
00:39:29I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:39:31Wow.
00:39:32It's...
00:39:33Beautiful.
00:39:34It is.
00:39:35I'll try this one off.
00:39:49I-uh...
00:39:50Don't bother with her.
00:39:51She can't afford anything here.
00:39:52She's just a cleaner.
00:39:53She doesn't deserve to shop here.
00:39:54She has no money.
00:39:56Yeah, exactly.
00:39:57I mean, what are you doing here?
00:39:59Can't you just...
00:40:00Go, go!
00:40:01You just put it on a letter...
00:40:02You can just go...
00:40:03A little place to get out there.
00:40:04What are you doing here? Can't you just leave me alone?
00:40:06I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared.
00:40:09I'm here for retail therapy.
00:40:11Oh, please. This store's for the A-list only.
00:40:15Not some cheatskate like you, says the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:40:19Hey, show some respect.
00:40:22Typical Laura. Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.
00:40:27I would have asked you, but without me, I'm sure we're already broke.
00:40:31Oh, please. Come on, we'll take the dress.
00:40:33Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:40:36Uh, what do you mean you don't sell it? I want it. Name your price.
00:40:41It's not about the price, ma'am.
00:40:43This one was custom made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress.
00:40:46The entire brand belongs to her.
00:40:48This beautiful dress is for display purposes only. Thank you.
00:40:52It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:40:55What are you talking about? Of course it would suit her. It'd fit her just fine.
00:40:58And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:41:02Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.
00:41:11Oh, please. Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?
00:41:14We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:41:16Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet. You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:41:21Could you please tell me more about this dress?
00:41:24Of course. Uh, it was custom made for Laura Lewis, heiress to the Lewis Group Fortune.
00:41:30And stitched in Italy, naturally. And apparently there are many more like it this year.
00:41:36High-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.
00:41:40Laura, do you like this dress?
00:41:45Of course. It's custom made for me. I'm just here to take what's already mine.
00:41:51Oh, you can't be serious. There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.
00:41:56Fine, fine. If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on? It would look incredible on me.
00:42:02Miss, this dress is very delicate. If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:42:10Are you calling me fat?
00:42:11Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand? How's that sound?
00:42:18Sir, are you serious? You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:42:23This brand is worth at least 50 million dollars. And to buy it for a waitress? Are you out of your mind?
00:42:30Yes. You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:42:34Just one second.
00:42:38Yes, this is Brian Shepherd, CEO of Shepherd Group. I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:42:44I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.
00:42:50What?
00:42:53Sorry, sir. That brand is not for sale.
00:42:57You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.
00:43:03Mr. Yates, yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:43:07I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepherd Group.
00:43:13Oh, come on. Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:43:17Exactly. This is pathetic. You really think this is going to work? It's sad.
00:43:21Excellent.
00:43:23Thank you, Mr. Yates, that's all.
00:43:32Yes?
00:43:36What?
00:43:38Are you willing to summit the brand?
00:43:41Awesome.
00:43:48Hello?
00:43:49Yes?
00:43:51Wow. Yes, of course.
00:43:53Absolutely.
00:43:56The store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepherd.
00:44:02The Shepherd Group is the new owner. How may I be upstairs today, sir?
00:44:07Well, Laura, I don't know much about pressure, so I would like to give you this brand to you.
00:44:13You can't be serious. You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:44:17Don't listen to her, Brian. You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.
00:44:23You're not welcome here. I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:31I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:34Of course.
00:44:36Oh, come on.
00:44:38Sir? Ma'am? We're afraid I'll have to ask you to leave?
00:44:40Well, we're not leaving, okay?
00:44:42Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:44This isn't over, Laura!
00:44:45Could I try the dress on now?
00:44:47Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:44:49You just follow me.
00:44:56Wow.
00:44:58Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.
00:45:04Laura, you look breathtaking in this dress.
00:45:08Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:45:13Laura, because you deserve everything beautiful in the world, and that includes this dress.
00:45:26Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:45:30I...
00:45:32I need a moment.
00:45:34Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:45:39Does that mean it could be a yes?
00:45:42Maybe.
00:45:43Hi.
00:45:44Hi.
00:45:45Hi.
00:45:47What?
00:45:49Well, well, well.
00:45:51Look who decided to join the party.
00:45:53Playing dress-up again, Laura?
00:45:54One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:45:55And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:45:56You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?
00:45:57For this.
00:45:58This gold digger.
00:45:59You know, Ben, I really cared about you, even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:46:00I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:46:01Maybe the shrinks in Maple Leafs, or whatever.
00:46:02What?
00:46:03What?
00:46:04Well, well, well.
00:46:05Look who decided to join the party.
00:46:06Playing dress-up again, Laura?
00:46:07One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:46:10And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:46:13You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?
00:46:16For this.
00:46:17This gold digger.
00:46:19You know, Ben.
00:46:20I really cared about you, even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:46:25I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:46:28Maybe the shrinks in Maple Leafs aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:46:34Enough!
00:46:35I've had enough of this drama.
00:46:37Yeah, me too.
00:46:39Try that again, and you'll regret it.
00:46:42Now get the hell on my face.
00:46:44Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:46:46Yeah.
00:46:48I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:46:52What?
00:46:53That's impossible.
00:46:54I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:46:59Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group, your name is on the list.
00:47:04Looks like you two won't be getting let in, after all.
00:47:08You don't have an invitation.
00:47:09You're just here because of Brian.
00:47:11Let me see this. This doesn't even look real.
00:47:17It's different from mine.
00:47:19Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:24This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:47:29Please, right this way.
00:47:31We can continue this discussion later.
00:47:33If you manage to get in.
00:47:35Sir, Madam, we recommend you leave.
00:47:43There you are!
00:47:45How dare you steal my fiancƩ!
00:47:49There you are!
00:47:51How dare you steal my fiancƩ!
00:47:53Looks like another relationship fights the dust, Laura.
00:47:56Looks like stealing men is a habit of yours.
00:47:59Get away from him!
00:48:01He's engaged to me!
00:48:02Hey, hey, hey.
00:48:03Hold your horses, Gwen.
00:48:04That ended a long time ago.
00:48:06Engaged to you.
00:48:08Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:48:12Your relationship's history.
00:48:15That was just a little tiff.
00:48:17You really think that could tear us apart?
00:48:19Don't you know who I am?
00:48:22Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:48:24Oh, honey.
00:48:25She don't recognize royalty, let alone in Duke.
00:48:27She's just a maid, remember?
00:48:29I don't have time for all this drama.
00:48:33Brian?
00:48:34Let's head inside.
00:48:36Brian!
00:48:38How could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:48:41Are you really gonna humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:48:45There's nothing left to say, Gwen.
00:48:47Don't make this a scene.
00:48:49Shall we?
00:48:51You okay, Miss Duke?
00:48:57And you are?
00:48:59Amber Smith.
00:49:01I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:49:04What branch? I've never heard of it.
00:49:06What do you want from me?
00:49:07That Laura!
00:49:09She tore up my invitation.
00:49:11Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:12What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:49:16Please don't waste my time.
00:49:17I'm gonna waste my time.
00:49:48If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:49:53The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:49:57Chloe! Good to see you. I've been expecting you.
00:50:00Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:50:02Good.
00:50:04I need your help with something.
00:50:06What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.
00:50:09It's Brian.
00:50:11Who's that woman? I thought you were...
00:50:14She's a con woman.
00:50:16She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:18What?
00:50:20Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:24Well, she's pretending to be a Lewis to get close to him.
00:50:29What are you planning?
00:50:31I want to destroy Shepherd Group.
00:50:36Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:40I had no idea she would be so...
00:50:45intense.
00:50:47What do you mean?
00:50:49You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:50:52I mean, you guys are just...
00:50:54power couple.
00:50:57I see what you're doing.
00:50:59Power couple, you say?
00:51:01More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:51:05Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:51:07Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:51:12is up there.
00:51:14Really?
00:51:16She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:51:18Excuse me.
00:51:20This is my VIP invitation.
00:51:22I can sit wherever I like.
00:51:25Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:51:27This is signed by all three VPs of Lewis Group.
00:51:29Where did you get this?
00:51:32Who did you have to sleep with?
00:51:34That's enough.
00:51:36This is getting us nowhere.
00:51:39Laura is my guest.
00:51:41And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:51:46Got it?
00:51:48Mr. Shepherd.
00:51:50What do you see in that woman?
00:51:52Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:51:55She's from a good family.
00:51:57Beautiful and successful.
00:51:59What more could you ask for?
00:52:01That's a good question.
00:52:03Not much, actually.
00:52:05Honesty.
00:52:07That's what I want.
00:52:09And love.
00:52:10Things that, clearly, Chloe has no idea.
00:52:14I said I was sorry.
00:52:16What more do you want?
00:52:18I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:52:20She's like a daughter to me.
00:52:22I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:52:28Anyway.
00:52:31One more chance, Brian.
00:52:33Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:52:35Do it, Mr. Shepherd.
00:52:37Propose.
00:52:38Right here.
00:52:39Right now.
00:52:41Brian?
00:52:45Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:52:49By forcing a ring on someone?
00:52:53Do it.
00:52:54Or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:53:02Don't you dare.
00:53:04You're humiliating yourself.
00:53:05How dare you?
00:53:08Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:53:11Yes.
00:53:13I like her.
00:53:16But I can't imagine someone like her interesting in me.
00:53:21The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:53:26Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:28I know.
00:53:29Exactly.
00:53:30This woman is Trevor.
00:53:32She doesn't belong here.
00:53:33Throw her out!
00:53:35You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?
00:53:39Interesting turn of events.
00:53:42Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:53:45Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress Laura Lewis?
00:53:56You know what? Maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:53:59Ridiculous. Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:54:01I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow. Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?
00:54:13You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.
00:54:16That's enough. You don't get to talk here.
00:54:19You got mad, Shepard. You dare to go against Miss Duke.
00:54:22And the same applies to everyone else here. Anyone who insults Laura.
00:54:27Leave us with a black eye.
00:54:29She's willing to defend the chick for her.
00:54:31What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:33I want to be careful, Brian.
00:54:35Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:54:38Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:54:41The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not Shepard Group.
00:54:52Lewis Group RS? You? Don't make me laugh.
00:54:57Security, remove these two impostors from the premises.
00:55:01Wait, Uncle Jones. Give Brian another chance. Choose, Brian.
00:55:06Me and the future you deserve. All this...fraught.
00:55:13Chloe. I have everything I ever wanted. Right here.
00:55:18In a wooden trade of all the power the Duke's home in Maplewood.
00:55:22Fine.
00:55:28Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:30What?
00:55:32You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:35Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:37The Duke family, they can't be serious.
00:55:40Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:42Brian, you don't have to do this for me.
00:55:46Laura, I will never let anyone bully you. Let alone them.
00:55:51Thank you, Brian, for believing in me, for protecting me.
00:56:00Now it's my turn to protect you.
00:56:09Listen carefully.
00:56:10I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock at all costs.
00:56:17Don't let it drop even one cent.
00:56:21Do you understand?
00:56:23Wow.
00:56:25Award-winning performance, Laura.
00:56:27But you can't possibly control the stock market.
00:56:29Do you want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:34If...
00:56:36The Shepard stock holds...
00:56:39For the next five minutes...
00:56:43You owe me a public apology.
00:56:51Do.
00:56:56Well...
00:56:58Looks like your five minutes is up.
00:57:02Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
00:57:08What the?
00:57:10The Shepard Group stock prices?
00:57:12It's going up!
00:57:14This can't be happening. It must be a coincidence.
00:57:16Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
00:57:25There was a huge investment.
00:57:27We couldn't compete. Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:31How did you do this?
00:57:33Like I said, Chloe...
00:57:36I'm...
00:57:38Laura Lewis.
00:57:40No, you're not. You're just some cleaner.
00:57:42You don't have access to billions.
00:57:44Well...
00:57:46I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:53No.
00:57:55I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:57There is no way I'm apologizing to you!
00:58:00If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:58:03Chloe?
00:58:05The truth is...
00:58:07Everyone here...
00:58:09Has seen you be a bully.
00:58:11And a coward.
00:58:13And now...
00:58:15A sore loser.
00:58:17This is so humiliating for her.
00:58:20How did she manage that?
00:58:22Maybe she really is a Lewis.
00:58:25Apologize to Miss Lewis!
00:58:27Shut up!
00:58:29Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that!
00:58:30Don't forget the Duke found we own half of Maplewood!
00:58:34There you go, Miss Lewis.
00:58:36Let's get out of here.
00:58:38Hold on.
00:58:40This...
00:58:42is where I belong.
00:58:44And that...
00:58:46is my chair.
00:58:47You can't go there.
00:58:48That is the VIP section.
00:58:51Only those invited by the Lewis Group Vice Presidents get to sit there.
00:58:55Like I said, Chloe...
00:58:58that's my seat.
00:59:04Had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
00:59:08Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepherd, wasn't it?
00:59:16Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
00:59:19Is this how you charm all your men?
00:59:21Shall we?
00:59:23My pleasure.
00:59:25What are you doing?
00:59:27Let go!
00:59:28It doesn't matter what happens.
00:59:29I choose to stay by Laura's side.
00:59:33Let's go.
00:59:35Don't be absurd!
00:59:36That seat is reserved for a very important guest!
00:59:40Someone so esteemed, even the Vice Presidents have to bow low!
00:59:46And...
00:59:48How exactly, Mr. Jones?
00:59:51Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
00:59:56Wait, that's Peter Young.
00:59:57Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group.
01:00:03Ask Peter Young.
01:00:05He decides which interests you.
01:00:06Mr. Young, it's Chloe Duke, Head of Duke Industries.
01:00:09So glad you could join us.
01:00:10Why is everyone standing around?
01:00:11It's her.
01:00:13She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat.
01:00:16It's embarrassing.
01:00:18That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
01:00:21Specifically the family heir.
01:00:23Please get off the stage.
01:00:24Oh yes.
01:00:25Mr. Young?
01:00:26Was it?
01:00:28I think I remember you.
01:00:29You manage my family's investments.
01:00:34Don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:00:37Please get off the stage.
01:00:39That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.
01:00:41I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:00:49I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:00:54This is ridiculous.
01:00:58You?
01:01:00The Lewis heir.
01:01:01Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:01:04You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:01:07Exactly.
01:01:09We ran a background check on her and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.
01:01:14Before that, a cashier in my family's supermarket.
01:01:18See Brian?
01:01:19This is who you've been chasing after.
01:01:21A liar and a cheat.
01:01:22Security, get this imposter out of here.
01:01:26And everyone here is a witness.
01:01:28Why would any of you trust Laura?
01:01:31If any of you dares to harm her, you have to go through me first.
01:01:37Brian, she's just a nobody.
01:01:40She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.
01:01:43They didn't even want her.
01:01:45What exactly do you see in her?
01:01:47Escort this imposter out of here.
01:01:49Now.
01:01:50I'm Peter.
01:01:52Peter, do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:02:02Mr. Yates.
01:02:04I'm so glad you could join us.
01:02:08Miss Lewis, sorry about the delay.
01:02:11And for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:02:12It's no trouble, Mr. Yates.
01:02:16Luckily, I haven't been alone.
01:02:17I've had the great company of my very loyal friend.
01:02:24Wait a minute.
01:02:25She's Miss Lewis.
01:02:26Is this a joke?
01:02:28Mr. Young, you're new to the Lewis Group.
01:02:31So I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.
01:02:35But you listened to lies without checking the facts.
01:02:39And almost called the police.
01:02:42Tell me, Mr. Young, who put you up to this?
01:02:46Was that my uncle or Ian Lewis?
01:02:48I knew it.
01:02:53Consider this your termination.
01:02:59I get it now.
01:03:01This is all an act.
01:03:03Right?
01:03:04Chloe, what are you doing?
01:03:05We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:03:07Work with them?
01:03:08Are you blind?
01:03:09This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:03:12That's enough, young lady.
01:03:14You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.
01:03:16Oh, Chloe, I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:03:21I think you need some professional help.
01:03:25Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:03:28Chloe, that's enough.
01:03:30It is ridiculous.
01:03:31If you were really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.
01:03:34So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:03:36Show us the ring!
01:03:41Why don't you show that to everyone?
01:03:43Show us the ring!
01:03:44Show us the ring!
01:03:45Show us the ring!
01:03:46Who are you to make demands of me?
01:03:49I don't answer to anyone but myself.
01:03:53I don't need any of your validation.
01:03:59There's a ring.
01:04:04Vice Presidents, I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.
01:04:08This woman is an imposter.
01:04:10Ms Lewis, we apologise for the delay.
01:04:12How could you just let that con woman sit there?
01:04:16Get her out of here!
01:04:17This seat was always for Ms Lewis.
01:04:20She's the special guest we've been waiting for.
01:04:24The investment queen.
01:04:26The real heir to Lewis Group.
01:04:28Laura Lewis.
01:04:30She was a divorced host wife.
01:04:32A janitor. How can she?
01:04:34She can't be. It's a lie, I'm telling you.
01:04:35It's a lie.
01:04:37Do you think we'd lie?
01:04:39We run Lewis Group.
01:04:41Oh, Chloe.
01:04:43You assaulted me earlier.
01:04:45And you came to this meeting to what?
01:04:49Sabotage it.
01:04:51You'll be hearing from our legal team.
01:04:53Is this true, Miss Duke?
01:04:57Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:05:00Yes, it's all true.
01:05:03She fooled us all.
01:05:05The Duke's tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewood and control everything themselves.
01:05:11I had no idea.
01:05:12But I'm on your side.
01:05:14I can give you everything you need.
01:05:17All the resources in Maplewood.
01:05:19Miss Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this?
01:05:23An eye for an eye.
01:05:27Since Miss Duke here loves ruining things,
01:05:34I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:05:38I want them bankrupt in ten minutes.
01:05:42You're bluffing.
01:05:44You're nobody.
01:05:45You'll always be a nobody.
01:05:46And you can't touch me.
01:05:48Then consider this a test, Chloe.
01:05:53I didn't need my family's support with Shepard, and I certainly don't need it now.
01:05:58Chloe, you dug your own grave.
01:06:01You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family with just the Shepard group?
01:06:06Please.
01:06:09We'll see.
01:06:15Dad?
01:06:17Slow down.
01:06:18What are you talking about?
01:06:21No.
01:06:23It's impossible.
01:06:25Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:27Years of hard work.
01:06:28Destroyed in minutes.
01:06:33What did you do?
01:06:35Well, Chloe, isn't this what you wanted? To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:06:43This is impossible.
01:06:45It's impossible!
01:06:47Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:49The news is everywhere.
01:06:51Shepard's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market.
01:06:53They're hammering our shares!
01:06:56Ow!
01:06:57Are you sure it's just Shepard?
01:06:58Yes!
01:06:59Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato.
01:07:03We could go bankrupt!
01:07:05You've ruined everything!
01:07:06Don't worry, Mr. Duke.
01:07:08When your company does go bankrupt, I'll buy it.
01:07:12At a fire sale price.
01:07:14Your employees won't even be affected.
01:07:16Brilliant!
01:07:17The master's job, Miss Lewis.
01:07:20Now, this is my event.
01:07:24Please leave.
01:07:26Brian, I did this for us!
01:07:28Everything I did, I did for us, Brian!
01:07:32Chloe, you need help.
01:07:35These feelings you have for me, it's not love.
01:07:40It's obsession.
01:07:41Enough.
01:07:43If you don't want to ruin everything completely, you'll come with me.
01:07:47Right now.
01:07:49No.
01:07:50Right now.
01:07:52What?
01:07:59Laura!
01:08:00This isn't over!
01:08:02Get out of me!
01:08:04What?
01:08:05You hear me?
01:08:08What is going on here?
01:08:09Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:08:12Shepard Group.
01:08:13They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group from Maplewood.
01:08:17They're handling all future construction projects.
01:08:19That can't be!
01:08:21What about us? That was our project!
01:08:23Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.
01:08:26Harrison Group is practically out.
01:08:28We have no chance.
01:08:30We can't give up that easily.
01:08:32Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager.
01:08:35In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.
01:08:37You're right.
01:08:38If we can just meet with a new heir, we can bypass the Shepards and meet directly with the Lewis Group.
01:08:44We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.
01:08:48That's right.
01:08:49That's right.
01:08:53Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.
01:08:59I'm sure I've met you before.
01:09:01Mr. Shepard, finally a pleasure to meet you.
01:09:04We've looked into your company's financial review.
01:09:08Very impressive.
01:09:11Thank you, but a large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.
01:09:16She practically saved me from disaster three times over now.
01:09:21Brian, you can just call me Laura.
01:09:23Ms. Lewis' recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.
01:09:28Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:09:31Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is gone.
01:09:33Sees it.
01:09:36A woman like Laura is not easy to find.
01:09:40Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.
01:09:50Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:09:52Laura? Hardly.
01:09:54I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.
01:10:02So you're Laura's uncle?
01:10:04In the flesh.
01:10:06So Laura really is your niece?
01:10:08Yes, little Laura.
01:10:11She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.
01:10:15Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.
01:10:18I think he was a Harrison.
01:10:20Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side.
01:10:23Did she hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?
01:10:27And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?
01:10:30If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:10:34Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Ms. Duke.
01:10:37We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:10:41What if I fail?
01:10:43My family is already ruined.
01:10:45Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say.
01:10:47But if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family will get back everything you've lost.
01:10:55Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side. How can I possibly get the ring?
01:11:00There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly.
01:11:08Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:11:11Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.
01:11:19Laura.
01:11:20So good to see you.
01:11:22And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps.
01:11:25How have you been?
01:11:27I've been well, Uncle Ian.
01:11:29Thank you for asking.
01:11:31I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.
01:11:35Yes.
01:11:37Indeed, somebody had to.
01:11:39I 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.
01:11:46Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard, you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.
01:11:54Yes, minor mistakes, minor.
01:11:57Don't worry, Uncle Ian, I won't hold it against you.
01:12:01Oh, good.
01:12:03Well, cheers to you coming back here and the Lewis Group.
01:12:09Oh, I'm so sorry, Laura, how clumsy of me.
01:12:15No, no worries, Uncle Ian, I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.
01:12:20Of course.
01:12:22Right away, just down to the left.
01:12:30Use it wisely.
01:12:32Oh, I will.
01:12:33Hey, Laura, how's that?
01:12:50Hello, Brian.
01:12:52Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:12:54Chloe, how in the hell did you get Laura's phone?
01:12:57Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:13:00Listen, Chloe.
01:13:02Don't hurt her.
01:13:04Please.
01:13:06I'll do anything.
01:13:08Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs.
01:13:12Now.
01:13:14Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.
01:13:17You're alive.
01:13:20Well, you certainly do have your ways.
01:13:26Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up.
01:13:27I am sorry.
01:13:28How clumsy.
01:13:29And don't forget your phone.
01:13:30I retrieved it for you.
01:13:34Lovely to see you again.
01:13:36I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.
01:13:39At the banquet.
01:13:42I'll see you then.
01:13:43Will do.
01:13:44Looking forward to it.
01:13:45Laura!
01:13:48Laura!
01:13:49Where are you?
01:13:51Laura!
01:13:53Laura!
01:13:54Where are you?
01:13:56Laura!
01:13:57Laura, where are you?
01:13:59Laura!
01:14:04Gotcha.
01:14:07You weren't expecting that, were you?
01:14:15Finally.
01:14:16Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.
01:14:17What the?
01:14:18Laura, where are you?
01:14:19Laura?
01:14:20Laura?
01:14:21Go shut your mouth.
01:14:22Chloe.
01:14:23What have you done?
01:14:24You out of your mind?
01:14:25Out of my mind?
01:14:26You were the one that left me for that tramp and destroyed my life!
01:14:28That's not true!
01:14:29You were the one who messed up!
01:14:30Brian!
01:14:31Laura!
01:14:32Stay where you are!
01:14:34You better not come alone!
01:14:36You shot this knife, Chloe.
01:14:37This is insane!
01:14:38Insane!
01:14:39I did this for us, Brian!
01:14:40We were meant to be together!
01:14:41Us?
01:14:42You've gone crazy!
01:14:43And you're out of here!
01:14:44Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious event.
01:14:45They're going to lock you up for us!
01:14:46You're going to lock you up for us!
01:14:47That's not true!
01:14:48You're the one who messed up!
01:14:49That's not true!
01:14:50You're the one who messed up!
01:14:51Brian!
01:14:52Laura!
01:14:53I did this for us, Brian!
01:14:54We were meant to be together!
01:14:55Us?
01:14:56You've gone crazy!
01:14:57And you're out of here!
01:14:58Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious event.
01:14:59They're going to lock you up for years!
01:15:00You think I care about jail time?
01:15:01All I care about is tearing you two apart!
01:15:02You don't deserve him!
01:15:03What have you done?
01:15:04You've destroyed my life!
01:15:05My company!
01:15:06Everything!
01:15:07Now I'm going to destroy your life!
01:15:08Give me your family ring now!
01:15:09Give it to me!
01:15:10This is about the ring!
01:15:11Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:15:12You can't do this!
01:15:13No!
01:15:14No!
01:15:15No!
01:15:16No!
01:15:17No!
01:15:18No!
01:15:19No!
01:15:20No!
01:15:21No!
01:15:22No!
01:15:23No!
01:15:24No!
01:15:25No!
01:15:26No!
01:15:27No!
01:15:28No!
01:15:29No!
01:15:30No!
01:15:31No!
01:15:32No!
01:15:33No!
01:15:34No!
01:15:35No!
01:15:36No!
01:15:37No!
01:15:38You know, Chloe?
01:15:39Trying to kill me?
01:15:40That's foolish!
01:15:42Because who do you think is going to win?
01:15:45You?
01:15:46That little knife?
01:15:47Or?
01:15:48Me?
01:15:49Something a little bit more persuasive?
01:15:52No!
01:15:53No!
01:15:54No!
01:15:55No!
01:15:56No!
01:15:57No!
01:15:58No!
01:15:59No!
01:16:00No!
01:16:01No!
01:16:02No!
01:16:03No!
01:16:04No!
01:16:05No!
01:16:06No!
01:16:07No!
01:16:08No!
01:16:09No!
01:16:10No!
01:16:11No!
01:16:12No!
01:16:13No!
01:16:14No!
01:16:15No!
01:16:16No!
01:16:17No!
01:16:18No!
01:16:19No!
01:16:20No!
01:16:21No!
01:16:22No!
01:16:23No!
01:16:24No!
01:16:25No!
01:16:26No!
01:16:27No!
01:16:28No!
01:16:29No!
01:16:30No!
01:16:31No!
01:16:32No!
01:16:33No!
01:16:34No!
01:16:35No!
01:16:36No!
01:16:37No!
01:16:38No!
01:16:39No!
01:16:40No!
01:16:41No!
01:16:42No!
01:16:43No!
01:16:44No!
01:16:45No!
01:16:46This is yours Chloe. Talk or face the consequences.
01:16:51Fine. It was Ian Lewis. He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the
01:16:57bank room today.
01:17:00Did you get all of that Mr. Yates?
01:17:02I'm recording everything Ms. Lewis.
01:17:06I owe every word Ms. Lewis.
01:17:09Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:17:16This is crazy. Are we really sure we can do this? All these big companies here. It's crazy.
01:17:27Absolutely. The Lewis Group is under new leadership. We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:32Exactly. We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:17:37There's Ian Lewis now. You can introduce us. Let's go.
01:17:40Yeah.
01:17:41Hello, Ian Lewis. I'm Amber Smith. We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:47This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.
01:17:49How do you do?
01:17:50We're the company that-
01:17:51Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:52Ms. Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:17:56Now look, I'm not here for idle chat.
01:17:59Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Could I ask you all to be seated please? Thank you.
01:18:09The moment you've all been waiting for. Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:16A night where the rightful heir takes their place. Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group, Ms. Laura Lewis.
01:18:25Look everybody, attention. Attention please. There's been a recent development of some tragedy. I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago that Laura has been in a car accident. And tragically, she hasn't made it. She has not survived.
01:18:46What? Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:52It doesn't matter now, she's gone.
01:18:55Mr. Lewis, is this new-
01:18:56A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates. But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.
01:19:04Hold on! Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:08Laura!
01:19:11I don't understand. What's happening?
01:19:18Laura? But why aren't you-
01:19:22My apologies for the delay, everyone. There seems to be some misunderstanding.
01:19:28Laura, what are you doing here? You gotta stop this. If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:19:33I'll say this once. Back off then.
01:19:41Thank you for coming, everyone. As I'm sure you know, tonight, I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:19:55Well, perhaps you could make some room for me, Uncle Ian.
01:20:00Impossible. How are you still alive?
01:20:03Well, clearly I am alive and well, so why don't we get this started?
01:20:07No. You're not the rightful heir. You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:20:14Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument that you have that I got married too quickly?
01:20:20Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger and left me to work tirelessly keeping the company together.
01:20:28Uncle Ian, retire. Enjoy your retirement.
01:20:33Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:20:35No. There can only be one heir, and that's me. And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:20:45You think a ring makes an heir? You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:20:52Give that back to me.
01:20:53This?
01:20:54Yes.
01:20:55You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:20:59Give it back.
01:21:00True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you, not some stupid ring.
01:21:10Oh, my ring!
01:21:11Okay, Dan, where is it?
01:21:15My ring!
01:21:17Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.
01:21:20How dare you!
01:21:21Now, let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.
01:21:26Talk!
01:21:31Fine!
01:21:32It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:33He...
01:21:34He said he helped juking distress if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:21:41Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr Lewis.
01:21:44Security, escort him out.
01:21:47And Ian, don't fall over.
01:21:49It's all lies!
01:21:50It's all lies!
01:21:51Fakery!
01:21:52It's fake news!
01:21:53The proof is clear!
01:21:54Get him out of here!
01:21:55I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:22:03Turns out, reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:22:09Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr Shepherd by my side.
01:22:16And he has been a great support.
01:22:21Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:22:27I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:22:33Sheppard Group.
01:22:35What?
01:22:36Laura, hold on!
01:22:38This was never my idea.
01:22:40This was all Cathy at Amber's fault.
01:22:42I don't want a divorce!
01:22:43What?
01:22:44What are you saying?
01:22:45You came to me first.
01:22:46Classic Ben.
01:22:47Classic Ben. Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.
01:22:52Just don't shut Harrison Group out. Just give me another chance.
01:22:57How could I shut you out? I'm just a cleaner, remember? I'm just a useless housewife. I don't have that power.
01:23:06What are you talking about? No, come on. No, please, no.
01:23:11Um, Mr. Shepard?
01:23:14Yes, Ms. Lewis?
01:23:14I was wondering if. Maybe you wanted to grab dinner. Sometime. On me.
01:23:26Ms. Lewis. I would love to.
01:23:30I would love to.
01:23:31I would love to.
