00:00:00What the hell is going on here?
00:00:03What are you doing?
00:00:05You can't do this, you're just a cleaner.
00:00:06What I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:00:12I'm a divorce maker, so sign it.
00:00:14I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:00:18Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:00:21I won't sign.
00:00:22A million dollars, take this.
00:00:26Shame on you!
00:00:27We are the Harrisons.
00:00:29You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:00:31Just get out!
00:00:36Because you deserve everything you do for the work.
00:00:39Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:00:45No, that's enough.
00:00:47I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:00:49Now it's my turn to protect you.
00:00:53Well, you certainly do have your ways.
00:00:56You're out of your mind!
00:00:58You're out of your mind!
00:00:59You're out of my mind!
00:01:00Give it to me!
00:01:01She has not survived!
00:01:08Are you ready to play a game, Ryan?
00:01:10You're out of your mind, Ryan.
00:01:11Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively.
00:01:21We're about to hit the limit down.
00:01:22What the hell is going on here?
00:01:25Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:01:29Our stock is about to crash.
00:01:31And you're telling me there's nothing we can do.
00:01:33Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:01:37They're shorting us simultaneously.
00:01:39There is nothing we can do.
00:01:41Sir, what are our next steps?
00:01:43Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunch time.
00:01:58Hey, this is a private subject.
00:01:59Excuse me, ma'am.
00:02:00Could you hold on to cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:02:03Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years?
00:02:08That's impressive.
00:02:10But losing your cool over a little market turbulence?
00:02:16That seems out of character for you.
00:02:18Do I know you?
00:02:21Wait, what are you doing?
00:02:24What are you doing?
00:02:25You can't do this.
00:02:26You're just a cleaner.
00:02:27You can't be messing with our company funds.
00:02:30This is incredible!
00:02:32What's going on?
00:02:34This running is him.
00:02:35It's failing!
00:02:36The price is holding!
00:02:39Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:02:45We met before.
00:02:47They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:02:49Hold on.
00:02:50Tell me.
00:02:52How could I ever repay you for this?
00:02:55If the opportunity ever arises,
00:02:57you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:03:06Jason,
00:03:09get me her five now.
00:03:21Mr. Yates!
00:03:23What, only two bodyguards this time?
00:03:26You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:03:28No, ma'am.
00:03:29I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:03:32Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:03:37Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:03:41Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret, but why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:03:47Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:03:53Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:03:57Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:04:02Ma'am, at least do me a favour and let Toby walk you up to the house, for my sake.
00:04:08Divorce papers. Sign it.
00:04:25Why?
00:04:27You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:04:29The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now.
00:04:32Especially since it's landed a $100 million contract with the Shepherd Group.
00:04:37And you?
00:04:39You're just a cleaner.
00:04:40The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:04:44I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:04:47I secured that $100 million contract.
00:04:51You? A cleaning woman?
00:04:54Handing out million dollar deals?
00:04:56Don't make me laugh.
00:05:00I did!
00:05:01It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:05:03Say, I was the one who got Ryan Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:05:07What are you doing here?
00:05:09Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:05:13Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:05:16Local royalty?
00:05:18A small town rich person is royalty.
00:05:21And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:05:23Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it?
00:05:29Ben?
00:05:32What's going on?
00:05:34Is this why you want a divorce?
00:05:36Because of her?
00:05:37Oh, please.
00:05:39I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:05:41You're still a cleaner.
00:05:43We just grew apart, that's all.
00:05:44Grown apart.
00:05:47No.
00:05:49No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:05:54I won't sign anything.
00:05:57Huh.
00:05:59Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:06:01Ben.
00:06:03Alright.
00:06:04Here.
00:06:05$100,000.
00:06:06Open up a small shop or something not safe.
00:06:09$100,000.
00:06:10I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:06:16Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:06:19Don't be ridiculous.
00:06:21You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:06:23This is our act of charity, Jordan.
00:06:26Here. A million dollars. Take this.
00:06:29You just want our money, don't you?
00:06:31Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:06:34I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.
00:06:40Since none of you respect me?
00:06:44A cleaning lady threatening us?
00:06:47I'm so scared.
00:06:49Just leave.
00:06:50You already make this house stink.
00:06:59Make up, she's gone.
00:07:01Go to a written store.
00:07:04Sir?
00:07:06Laura Lewis' information.
00:07:07She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:07:08No wonder why she wants us to partner with them.
00:07:09Actually, sir.
00:07:10Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:07:12Divorced her?
00:07:13Wait a minute.
00:07:15Don't you remember?
00:07:16She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:07:18Yeah.
00:07:19She saved our hiding there.
00:07:20Remember?
00:07:21Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:07:22I don't know.
00:07:23Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:07:24Hey, what are you doing?
00:07:25Let go of me.
00:07:26You attacked Amber.
00:07:27Apologize this instant.
00:07:28Oh.
00:07:29Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:07:30We gave you a generous divorce sentence.
00:07:31I'm sorry.
00:07:32I'm sorry.
00:07:33I'm sorry.
00:07:34I'm sorry.
00:07:35I'm sorry.
00:07:36Three years ago.
00:07:37Yeah.
00:07:38She saved our hiding there.
00:07:39Remember?
00:07:40Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:07:41I don't know.
00:07:42Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:07:43Hey!
00:07:44What are you doing?
00:07:45Let go of me!
00:07:46You attacked Amber.
00:07:47Apologize this instant.
00:07:48Oh.
00:07:49Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:07:50We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:07:51You refused it.
00:07:52And now you're stealing.
00:07:53She couldn't afford it.
00:07:54You're a thief.
00:07:55That's mine.
00:07:56Give it back.
00:07:57Wait.
00:07:58Wait.
00:07:59Wait.
00:08:00Wait.
00:08:01Wait.
00:08:02Wait.
00:08:03Wait.
00:08:04Wait.
00:08:05Wait.
00:08:06Wait.
00:08:07Wait.
00:08:08Wait.
00:08:09Wait.
00:08:10Wait.
00:08:11Wait.
00:08:12Wait.
00:08:13Wait.
00:08:14Wait.
00:08:15Wait.
00:08:16Wait.
00:08:17again.
00:08:18I want to say thank you properly, for saving the Shepherd group.
00:08:20It's-it's really no-no worries...Mr. Shepherd but umm...I'm just going through a divorce.
00:08:25You see?
00:08:26It's uhh-
00:08:27Who are you?
00:08:28Boris New Squeeze.
00:08:30Excuse me, do you know who I am?
00:08:31Is this true?
00:08:32You hooked up with this man, while you were married to my son?
00:08:36Shame on you.
00:08:37Mr. Shepherd.
00:08:37I-
00:08:39For your information, my name is Brian Shepherd.
00:08:41I'm CEO of the Shepherd Group.
00:08:44Oh please.
00:08:45A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:08:48You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:08:51That's really interesting, considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:08:56That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that.
00:09:00My ring.
00:09:01Jason, give it back to me serious.
00:09:02Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:09:07Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:09:09Now.
00:09:10Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:09:11Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?
00:09:14It's all right, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:09:17All rabbed dead bodies.
00:09:19You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on.
00:09:22We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:09:26Harrison, compared to the Shepard group, you're nobody. Now go back.
00:09:30What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie.
00:09:34Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura. You come back here and explain yourself.
00:09:37Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.
00:09:40Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the $100 million deal?
00:09:47Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:09:51I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:09:55After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:09:58No. No. The event will proceed. Besides, I'll be there.
00:10:09There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:10:12Who are you, truly?
00:10:14You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.
00:10:17Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:10:23Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners,
00:10:30and we're going to have a meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today.
00:10:36Make sure everyone is there.
00:10:39Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:10:47Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis. I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:10:51Ben Harrison, you're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:10:59After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:11:09Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:11:13Laura, what are you doing here?
00:11:15Security? Get that woman out of here. We don't need cleaners at this event.
00:11:20Why wouldn't I be here? This is a business event, after all.
00:11:24Business? You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:11:28A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey. Just get out.
00:11:32Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:11:36You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:11:38Well, Ben, do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:11:43Laura, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?
00:11:46You don't belong here. Just get out!
00:11:50Oh.
00:11:55That's what you get.
00:11:58This contract is mine.
00:12:04To give or take away as I see it.
00:12:08Don't be ridiculous. This is insane.
00:12:10Who do you think you are?
00:12:11Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.
00:12:14Security? She's lost a mind.
00:12:16This is a disaster.
00:12:17Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you.
00:12:23But since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:12:26Yes.
00:12:27Yes.
00:12:28Yes.
00:12:29Yes.
00:12:29Yes.
00:12:30Yes.
00:12:32Yes.
00:12:32Yes.
00:12:32Yes.
00:12:34Yes.
00:12:34Yes.
00:12:36Yes.
00:12:38Yes.
00:12:39Yes.
00:12:40Yes.
00:12:41Yes.
00:12:42Yes.
00:12:43Yes.
00:12:44Yes.
00:12:45Yes.
00:12:46Laura, I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:12:50It's, it's really no, no worries, Mr. Shepard, but, um, I'm just going through a divorce.
00:12:57You see, it's, uh...
00:12:58Who are you, Boris New Squeeze?
00:13:01Excuse me.
00:13:02Do you know who I am?
00:13:03Is this true?
00:13:04You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:13:07Shame on you!

00:13:41Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:13:42Who the heck is this man?
00:13:43Have you been sneaking around?
00:13:45It's alright, ma'am.
00:13:47This is none of your business.
00:13:49All rabbed dead bodies.
00:13:50You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on.

00:13:55You can't just waltz in here and take her.

00:14:30No.
00:14:31Um.

00:14:33The event will proceed.
00:14:35Besides, I'll be there.

00:16:14Laura, this is really important for me.
00:16:16Do not ruin this, okay?
00:16:18You don't belong here.
00:16:20Just get out!
00:16:21Oh.
00:16:26That's what you get.
00:16:32This contract is mine.
00:16:35To give or take away as I see fit.
00:16:39Don't be ridiculous.
00:16:40This is insane.
00:16:41Who do you think you are?
00:16:43Yeah, put that down.
00:16:43You have no idea what you're doing.
00:16:45Security, she's lost a mind.
00:16:48This is a disaster.
00:16:49Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,
00:16:54but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:16:57You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:17:25Oh, you're so silly, Laura.
00:17:27Oh, please, honey.
00:17:28You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:17:31Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:17:34I was the one that started this deal with the shepherds.
00:17:38And after careful consideration,
00:17:41I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the shepherds.
00:17:46You really think that the shepherd group and I
00:17:48could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:17:51You have no authority here.
00:17:52Of course she has the authority.
00:17:55That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:18:03What is he doing here?
00:18:04Mr. Shepard?
00:18:05How does he know her?
00:18:06Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:18:09Laura, are you all right?
00:18:12Mr. Shepard, I can assure you,
00:18:14I don't even know this woman.
00:18:15There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:18:17There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:19This contract with Shepard Group is officially terminated.
00:18:24Effective immediately.
00:18:27Wait a minute.
00:18:29This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:18:30It's her.
00:18:32She ruined the contract.
00:18:34You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:18:35An affair?
00:18:36She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:18:41Mom, please, it's okay.
00:18:42This man is...
00:18:43Don't touch me.
00:18:45That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone,
00:18:48has an affair, and you just stand there?
00:18:50You're a disgrace.
00:18:51An adulterer.
00:18:52You deserve to be arrested.
00:18:53Shut up!
00:18:56Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess,
00:18:59but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:19:02Tricked?
00:19:04Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?
00:19:08What was my name before we got married?
00:19:12Laura Lewis, right?
00:19:14Lewis Group?
00:19:15The Financial Giants?
00:19:17There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:19:22That's crazy.
00:19:23There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:19:26That's absurd.
00:19:27It's...
00:19:28It's...
00:19:29It's absurd!
00:19:31A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:19:35Yeah.
00:19:36Yeah, it's a lie.
00:19:37It's a lie.
00:19:37This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:19:39In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:19:43She's nothing special.
00:19:44She only married me out of gratitude.
00:19:46I was just a waitress.
00:19:49How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:19:52First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.
00:19:55Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:19:56When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:20:00Mm-hmm.
00:20:00Now look at me.
00:20:01I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:20:04And look at her.
00:20:05Still just a cleaner.
00:20:06Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:20:10She's doing all this out of spite.
00:20:13She's lying, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:14She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:20:19Let's make something clear.
00:20:22I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:20:25I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:20:32Don't lie.
00:20:34You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:20:36Oops.
00:20:37That roof was built with lies.
00:20:40Kathy, you never respected me.
00:20:43And Ben?
00:20:44Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:20:47And the cheating.
00:20:50I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:20:53You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:20:57If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy.
00:21:04Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:21:07From everything.
00:21:13Wait, wait, wait.
00:21:14Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:21:16And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:21:18I don't think so.
00:21:19You're a cleaner.
00:21:21You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:21:23Nobody cares about you.
00:21:24Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:21:30I don't need a fancy title.
00:21:32Or a rich husband to feel important.
00:21:37I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:21:40I think all jobs are important.
00:21:42Right, Mom?
00:21:43Ben, what are you doing?
00:21:44But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:21:50A janitor.
00:21:51Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:21:59You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:22:05Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:22:08This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:22:13I, but, well...
00:22:14A lie, you say?
00:22:16Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:22:20But I don't recognize you.
00:22:21Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:22:26Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:22:29This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:22:33But the contract...
00:22:35I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:22:37So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:22:41Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:22:44Perhaps you haven't been paying attention.
00:22:46Without Miss Lewis' involvement, I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:22:55Today, I want to make it clear.
00:22:58Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:23:04Miss Smith, you lied to us.
00:23:07You destroyed everything.
00:23:09What?
00:23:10No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:23:11I can explain.
00:23:13Lewis?
00:23:14Lewis Family Group?
00:23:16This can't be.
00:23:17Believe what you want, Ben.
00:23:20Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:23:24Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:23:29And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:23:36Everyone, listen to me.
00:23:38Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison Group.
00:23:43A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.
00:23:50The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:23:52Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:23:57Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:24:00Someone get a doctor?
00:24:07Help!
00:24:08Mom!
00:24:08Someone get a doctor!
00:24:10Mom!
00:24:10It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:24:17Indeed.
00:24:18Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:24:20what what now mom this is not all on me not on you i was trying to help she cheated on you
00:24:40with shepherd flaunted their affair exactly and those dresses who could afford those on a janitor

00:38:22appointed her general manager of a maplewood branch for the lewis group she said that did she well miss
00:38:29miss smith is a liar there is no maplewood branch at least not yet well she lied so blatantly it was
00:38:36it's unbelievable well don't worry i found a much more suitable partner

00:39:35were waiting for miss smith lewis group maplewood branch no such thing ma'am and frankly i'm not
00:39:42interested in your act of course laura she's probably sleeping with the manager as well that's how
00:39:50she gets away with everything you underestimate her kathy she's probably sleeping with all three
00:39:55vice presidents no way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this careful with your words

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

01:28:27wanted to
01:28:27grab dinner
