Transcript

00:00:00Ryan.

00:00:07Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.

00:00:13What the hell is going on here?

00:00:16Half of you came from major investment banks.

00:00:19Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do?

00:00:23Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.

00:00:28They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.

00:00:32Sir, what are our next steps?

00:00:38Well, looks like Shepard Youth might be bankrupt by lunchtime.

00:00:48Hey, this is a privacy game.

00:00:50Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?

00:00:53Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.

00:01:00But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.

00:01:08Do I know you?

00:01:12What are you doing?

00:01:13What are you doing? You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.

00:01:17You can't be messing with our company funds.

00:01:20This is incredible.

00:01:22What's going on?

00:01:24The shorting attempt. It's failing. The price is holding.

00:01:29Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.

00:01:36We met before.

00:01:38They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.

00:01:40Hold on. Tell me. How could I ever repay you for this?

00:01:44If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.

00:01:58Jason, can we have five now?

00:02:02Mr. Yates.

00:02:13What? Only two bodyguards this time?

00:02:16You're not going soft on me, are you?

00:02:18No, ma'am. I just thought you might like discreet today.

00:02:22Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.

00:02:27Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.

00:02:32Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.

00:02:37Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.

00:02:43Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.

00:02:47Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.

00:02:52Ma'am, at least do me a favour and let Toby walk you up to the house. For my sake.

00:03:08Divorce papers. Sign it.

00:03:10Sign it.

00:03:16Why?

00:03:17You are not worthy of my son anymore.

00:03:19The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now.

00:03:22Especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.

00:03:26The Shepherd Group.

00:03:27And you?

00:03:29You're just a cleaner.

00:03:31The 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.

00:03:41You?

00:03:42A cleaning woman?

00:03:44Handing out million dollar deals?

00:03:46Don't make me laugh.

00:03:50I did!

00:03:51It was my present to Ben for his birthday.

00:03:54I was the one who got Bryan 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 a 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.

00:04:19Doesn't it?

00:04:20Ben?

00:04:23What's going on?

00:04:25Is this why you want a divorce?

00:04:27Because of her?

00:04:28Oh, please.

00:04:29I've spent years building Harrison Group.

00:04:32You're still a cleaner.

00:04:33You just grew apart, that's all.

00:04:34You're grown apart, that's all.

00:04:35You're grown apart?

00:04:38No.

00:04:40No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.

00:04:44I won't sign anything.

00:04:47Huh.

00:04:49Money is a motivator, isn't it?

00:04:51Ben.

00:04:52All right.

00:04:53Here.

00:04:54A hundred thousand dollars.

00:04:55Open 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.

00:05:06Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?

00:05:09Don't be ridiculous.

00:05:11You've never done anything for Ben's success.

00:05:13This is our act of charity, Jordan.

00:05:16Here.

00:05:17A million dollars.

00:05:18Take this.

00:05:19You just want more money, don't you?

00:05:21Just leave and never see Ben again.

00:05:24I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.

00:05:31Since none of you respect me.

00:05:35A cleaning lady threatening us.

00:05:37I'm so scared.

00:05:40Just leave.

00:05:41You already make this house stink.

00:05:50Makeup, she's gone.

00:05:51Go to written store.

00:05:55Sir?

00:05:57Laura Lewis' information.

00:06:02She's been Harrison's wife.

00:06:04No wonder why she won his apartment.

00:06:06Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.

00:06:09Divorced her?

00:06:12Wait a minute.

00:06:14Don't you remember?

00:06:16She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.

00:06:20Yeah.

00:06:21She saved our hiding now.

00:06:23Remember?

00:06:25Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?

00:06:30I don't know.

00:06:32Let's get to the bottom of this.

00:06:36Hey!

00:06:37What are you doing?

00:06:38Let go of me!

00:06:39You attacked Amber.

00:06:40Apologize this instant.

00:06:45Stealing from the Harrisons.

00:06:47We gave you a generous divorce settlement.

00:06:49You refused it.

00:06:50And now you're stealing.

00:06:52She couldn't afford it.

00:06:53You're a thief.

00:06:54That's mine!

00:06:55Give it back!

00:06:56Hey!

00:06:57Hey!

00:06:58Hey!

00:06:59Hey!

00:07:00Hey!

00:07:01Hey!

00:07:02Hey!

00:07:03Hey!

00:07:04Hey!

00:07:05Hey!

00:07:06Hey!

00:07:07Hey!

00:07:08We are best waiting for this crime off you.

00:07:09샵 Baer of Bohe

00:07:11We are a queen like Branagh.

00:07:12This.

00:07:13What do room they wear?

00:07:14Where did the room look like earlier?

00:07:15Probably for saving a� m Shu прав

00:07:17dress...

00:07:18It's it's really no no worries Mister Shepard but um, i'm just going through a divorce.

00:07:20You see it's uh.

00:07:21Who are you Borse New Squeeze?

00:07:22Excuse me, you know who I am?

00:07:24Is this true?

00:07:25you were married to my son? Shame on you! Mr. Shepard, I...

00:07:28For your information, my name is Brian Shepard. I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.

00:07:34Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.

00:07:38You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber? That's really interesting, considering I thought

00:07:43you were the one that secured that contract for Ben. That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that.

00:07:50My ring.

00:07:51Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.

00:07:52Oh, hey, what are you doing?

00:07:55Yeah.

00:07:57Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.

00:08:00Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?

00:08:04It's all right, ma'am. This is none of your business.

00:08:08All rabbed dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.

00:08:12We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.

00:08:16Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. I go back.

00:08:20What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie.

00:08:24Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura. You come back here and explain yourself.

00:08:28Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.

00:08:32Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?

00:08:36Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.

00:08:41I don't feel good about going through the signing event. After how they treated you. Maybe we should cancel it?

00:08:49No. No. The event will proceed. Besides, I'll be there.

00:08:59There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.

00:09:02Who are you, truly?

00:09:04You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.

00:09:07Um, can you pull up over here, please?

00:09:13Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're going to have a meeting.

00:09:22An investment meeting. One week from today.

00:09:25Make sure everyone is there.

00:09:31Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.

00:09:37Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis. I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.

00:09:41Ben Harrison.

00:09:45You're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.

00:09:49After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.

00:09:59Only after then, my darling, we can get married.

00:10:03Laura, what are you doing here?

00:10:05Security? Get that woman out of here. We don't need cleaners at this event.

00:10:10Why wouldn't I be here? This is a business event, after all.

00:10:15Business? You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.

00:10:18A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey. Just get out.

00:10:22Don't tell me you couldn't look for another rich man to play mistress for.

00:10:26You should have taken my $100,000 offer.

00:10:28Well, Ben, do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?

00:10:33Laura, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?

00:10:36You don't belong here. Just get out!

00:10:40Oh.

00:10:45That's what you get.

00:10:48This contract is mine to give or take away as I see fit.

00:10:58Don't be ridiculous. This is insane.

00:11:00Who do you think you are?

00:11:01Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.

00:11:04Security? She's lost a mind.

00:11:07This is a disaster.

00:11:08Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you.

00:11:13But since you clearly don't deserve it...

00:11:17Yes.

00:11:21Yes.

00:11:22Yes.

00:11:23Yes.

00:11:24Yes.

00:11:25Yes.

00:11:26Yes.

00:11:27Yes.

00:11:28Yes.

00:11:29Yes.

00:11:30Yes.

00:11:31Yes.

00:11:32Yes.

00:11:33Yes.

00:11:34Yes.

00:11:35Yes.

00:11:36Laura.

00:11:38I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.

00:11:41It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.

00:11:47You see, it's...

00:11:48Who are you, Laura's new squeeze?

00:11:51Excuse me. Do you know who I am?

00:11:53Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?

00:11:57Shame on you!

00:11:58Mr. Shepard, I...

00:11:59For your information, my name is Brian Shepard. I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.

00:12:05Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.

00:12:09You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber? That's really interesting considering I thought

00:12:14you were the one that secured that contract for Ben. That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like

00:12:20that. My ring.

00:12:22Jason, give it back to Miss Lewis.

00:12:24Oh, hey, what are you doing?

00:12:28Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.

00:12:31Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?

00:12:36It's alright, ma'am. This is none of your business.

00:12:39I'll wrap dead bodies.

00:12:40You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on. We are the Harrisons.

00:12:45You can't just waltz in here and take her!

00:12:47Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. Now go back.

00:12:51What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie!

00:12:55Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura! You come back here and explain yourself!

00:12:59Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!

00:13:03Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?

00:13:08Let's just say that... Ben underestimated me.

00:13:13I don't feel good about going through the signing event.

00:13:16After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?

00:13:20No! Um... No, the event will proceed.

00:13:25Besides, I'll be there.

00:13:30There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.

00:14:08Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis. I'll start making arrangements tomorrow, Laura.

00:14:12Ben Harrison, you're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.

00:14:20After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.

00:14:31Only after then, my darling, we can get married.

00:14:35Laura, what are you doing here?

00:14:41Why wouldn't I be here? This is a business event, after all.

00:14:57You should've taken my $100,000 offer.

00:14:59Oh, Ben. Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?

00:15:03Laura, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?

00:15:08You don't belong here. Just get out!

00:15:12Oh.

00:15:16That's what you get.

00:15:22This contract is mine. To give or take away as I see fit.

00:15:29Don't be ridiculous! This is insane! Who do you think you are?

00:15:32Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.

00:15:35Security! She's lost a mind! This is a disaster!

00:15:39Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,

00:15:44but since you clearly don't deserve it...

00:16:02You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help? You're so silly, Laura.

00:16:17Oh, please, honey. You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.

00:16:21Security! Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.

00:16:24I was the one that started this deal with the shepherds.

00:16:27And after careful consideration,

00:16:30I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the shepherds.

00:16:35You really think that the shepherd group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?

00:16:40You have no authority here.

00:16:42Of course she has the authority.

00:16:51That's the man that Laura went with the other day. What is he doing here?

00:16:54Mr. Shepard? How does he know her?

00:16:56Is that really Brian Shepard?

00:16:58Laura, are you alright?

00:17:02Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.

00:17:05There must be some sort of misunderstanding.

00:17:07There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.

00:17:10This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.

00:17:14Effective immediately.

00:17:17Wait a minute.

00:17:18This contract, I thought you said you got it.

00:17:20It's her. She ruined the contract.

00:17:23You are his mistress, aren't you?

00:17:25An affair?

00:17:26She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?

00:17:31Mom, please, it's okay. This man is...

00:17:33Don't touch me!

00:17:35That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair and you just stand there?

00:17:40You're a disgrace.

00:17:41An adulterer.

00:17:42You deserve to be arrested.

00:17:43Shut up!

00:17:46Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.

00:17:52Tricked?

00:17:54Why don't you answer a question yourself then?

00:17:58What was my name before we got married?

00:18:02Laura Lewis, right?

00:18:04Lewis Group?

00:18:05The Financial Giants?

00:18:07There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.

00:18:11That's crazy.

00:18:13There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.

00:18:16That's absurd.

00:18:17It's...

00:18:18It's...

00:18:19It's...

00:18:20It's absurd!

00:18:21A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood!

00:18:25Yeah.

00:18:26Yeah, it's a lie.

00:18:27It's a lie.

00:18:28This woman was a waitress when I met her.

00:18:29In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.

00:18:34She's nothing special.

00:18:35She only married me out of gratitude.

00:18:36I was just a waitress.

00:18:39How convenient for your story, Ben.

00:18:41First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.

00:18:45Okay, listen up, everybody.

00:18:46When I met her, I'd only just started my business.

00:18:49Mm-hmm.

00:18:50Now look at me.

00:18:51I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.

00:18:53And look at her.

00:18:54Still just a cleaner.

00:18:56Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.

00:19:00She's doing all this out of spite.

00:19:02She's lying, Mr. Shepard.

00:19:04She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?

00:19:09Let's make something clear.

00:19:11I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.

00:19:16I used my resources to help my ex-husband,

00:19:20but all he saw me as was the maid.

00:19:22Don't lie.

00:19:23You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.

00:19:26Oops.

00:19:27That roof was built with lies.

00:19:30Kathy, you never respected me.

00:19:32And Ben?

00:19:34Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.

00:19:37And the cheating.

00:19:39I think you're blaming the wrong person.

00:19:43You were not good enough for Ben then,

00:19:45and you're certainly not good enough for him now.

00:19:47If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story,

00:19:51then the truth, Kathy.

00:19:54Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.

00:19:57From everything.

00:20:03Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:20:04Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?

00:20:07And then just walk out like nothing happened?

00:20:08I don't think so.

00:20:09You're a cleaner.

00:20:11You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.

00:20:13Nobody cares about you.

00:20:14Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.

00:20:18Respect.

00:20:20I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.

00:20:28I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.

00:20:30I think all jobs are important.

00:20:32Right, Mom?

00:20:33Ben, what are you doing?

00:20:35But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.

00:20:40A janitor.

00:20:41Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?

00:20:50You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?

00:20:55Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.

00:20:58This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.

00:21:03I... but, well...

00:21:05A lie, you say?

00:21:06Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.

00:21:10But I don't recognize you.

00:21:12Is this true, Miss Smith?

00:21:16Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.

00:21:19This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.

00:21:23But the contract...

00:21:25I mean, Laura tore it up.

00:21:27So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?

00:21:32Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.

00:21:34Perhaps you haven't been paying attention.

00:21:36Without Miss Lewis' involvement, I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.

00:21:45Today, I want to make it clear.

00:21:48Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.

00:21:54Miss Smith, you lied to us.

00:21:57You destroyed everything.

00:21:59What?

00:22:00No, it's a misunderstanding.

00:22:01I can explain.

00:22:03Lewis?

00:22:04Lewis Family Group?

00:22:06This can't be.

00:22:08Believe what you want, Ben.

00:22:10Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.

00:22:14Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.

00:22:19And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.

00:22:26Everyone, listen to me.

00:22:29Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.

00:22:32A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.

00:22:39The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.

00:22:42Everyone here deserves to see the truth.

00:22:44Miss Lewis?

00:22:45Shall we take this conversation elsewhere?

00:22:46Someone get a doctor?

00:22:47Help!

00:22:48Someone get a doctor!

00:22:49Help!

00:22:50Mom!

00:22:51Someone get a doctor!

00:22:52Mom!

00:22:53It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepherd.

00:22:55Indeed.

00:22:56Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.

00:22:59What?

00:23:00What now?

00:23:01Mom, this is not my fault.

00:23:02It is not a fault.

00:23:04It is not my fault.

00:23:05But I'm sorry.

00:23:06The time is my fault.

00:23:07I'm sorry.

00:23:08I'm sorry.

00:23:09I am sorry.

00:23:10I'm sorry.

00:23:11Did you have a question?

00:23:12I'm sorry.

00:23:13I'm sorry.

00:23:14I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

00:23:16I'm sorry.

00:23:17I'm sorry.

00:23:18I'm sorry.

00:23:19I'm sorry.

00:23:20I'm sorry.

00:23:21I'm sorry.

00:23:22I'm sorry.

00:23:23Mom, this is not all on me.

00:23:26Not on you. I was trying to help.

00:23:29She cheated on you with Shepard, flaunted their affair.

00:23:33Exactly. And those dresses? Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?

00:23:39Miss Smith, how could you do this? We trusted you completely.

00:23:43What? No, no. I got Ben the deal.

00:23:47I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura. She's a liar.

00:23:52Oh, stop it, Amber. You lied to us just as much as she did.

00:23:56Lied? You're on my side.

00:23:59And anyways, I have a plan.

00:24:01The Shepards are no one special.

00:24:04We can expose Laura and all her lies. Go national.

00:24:08We can make ourselves a household name.

00:24:11Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to make.

00:24:16Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard. Thank you as well for standing up for me.

00:24:25It's alright, Laura. You deserve the credit for all your hard work.

00:24:29Can I ask you something? Do you have any place to stay tonight? Maybe a hotel?

00:24:33Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard. I'll be fine.

00:24:38Excuse me, you can just drop me off.

00:24:40Actually, Laura, actually, Laura, there is something else.

00:24:44Would you consider to go out for dinner sometime? Just casually, of course.

00:24:48Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?

00:24:52Please, call me Brian. And yes, technically, you're single now.

00:25:00Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.

00:25:11Proper?

00:25:13Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.

00:25:17Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.

00:25:21Those are qualities I truly admire.

00:25:25So what do you say? Dinner?

00:25:28Just two people getting to know each other.

00:25:35I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard, I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't...

00:25:40Wait, Laura...

00:25:41Just here is fine.

00:25:45Laura?

00:25:47Laura, who is it? Laura, wait!

00:25:54Jason, find out who owns that car. And do it fast.

00:26:06Ian Lewis, who is this?

00:26:08It's Amber Smith.

00:26:09Mr. Lewis? I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.

00:26:16I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith. How did you get this number?

00:26:21Don't worry about that right now.

00:26:23I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis. Someone I know very well.

00:26:28Impersonating my niece? And where is this fake Laura?

00:26:35Right here in Maplewood. And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.

00:26:40Well, what is she doing exactly?

00:26:44And more to the point, what do you want from me?

00:26:48In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?

00:26:54I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.

00:26:56All will be revealed then.

00:26:58Very well. I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting. But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I-

00:27:05It won't be. Trust me, Mr. Lewis. Thank you, Mr.

00:27:09That little rascal, Laura. I wonder what she's up to now.

00:27:24That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubler.

00:27:29Oh. Lewis family. That's interesting. Could she be connected to them somehow?

00:27:38I'm not sure.

00:27:40Brian! There you are. I've missed you.

00:27:44Chloe.

00:27:45What are you up to?

00:27:47Chloe, what are you doing here?

00:27:49What do you mean? Can't I visit the man I love?

00:27:53We ended things for a reason.

00:27:55It was just one teensy mistake. I was- I was a little bit tipsy. Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?

00:28:03Teensy mistake, you say? You cheated on me.

00:28:10Is this your new fling? Ex-divorcey. Used a clean floor. It's quite the catch, wouldn't you say?

00:28:17Look, my relationship with her is none of your business. And don't you dare talk about her like that.

00:28:25Please. An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman. It's a classic story.

00:28:32That's enough. I'll get the hell out of my office.

00:28:35You want to be careful, Brian. Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.

00:28:41If you want Shepherd Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.

00:28:48Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.

00:28:52This is it. The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor. Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.

00:29:06I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.

00:29:09Well, well, well. Look who it is. What a surprise. Did Brian teach you already? That's none of your business. Now move aside, please.

00:29:21Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat? You really think you can just ruin my events again? Haven't you ruined my life enough? Don't you have any shame?

00:29:29If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.

00:29:33Oh, the nurse. After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?

00:29:39Seriously? I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.

00:29:45Oh, that's gold. You really think that they're gonna let you in, Laura? Please, you're no one compared to me.

00:29:51You don't deserve to be here. The only ones who don't belong here are you three. And you, idiot, believing every lie that she tells you. Wake up, Ben.

00:30:04Oh, Laura! Laura, come on. Why do you always pull this on me? I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once? I know what this is.

00:30:14So stupid.

00:30:16Oh, shut your trap. Amber spoke directly with the CEO. He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.

00:30:24Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.

00:30:28And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.

00:30:31Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this?

00:30:39Oh, that's rich. You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me. I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.

00:30:50Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?

00:30:53You mean my uncle? Ian, don't be ridiculous.

00:30:58Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself. And besides, this looks fake. She's a liar.

00:31:07This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself. It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the Vice Presidential Suite.

00:31:18She's lying. They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.

00:31:25Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?

00:31:28Not that I know of.

00:31:30See? She's lying.

00:31:32There you have it, Laura. Even the hotel staff can spot a fake. Go on, get lost before things get worse.

00:31:41Here, take this one. Lead me to the Vice Presidents.

00:31:45You have no idea what you just did. There will be consequences.

00:31:54Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have, why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?

00:32:04Security! Security! We need this woman removed immediately. She is harassing me. We're done with your games, Laura. You're just a fraud.

00:32:11Ma'am, place with me. What? Hold on!

00:32:17Brian Shepherd?

00:32:19You think money buys you the right to walk all over people? Well, it doesn't.

00:32:22Yeah. Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh? What other plans do you have to destroy this time?

00:32:28Get you out? After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.

00:32:32Don't play dumb. We know exactly what's been happening here. How long has this little affair been going on? You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.

00:32:41Hold on a second. An affair? You think Laura and I? You people are unbelievable.

00:32:49Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP. We have a situation.

00:32:55What, you think you can just boss the manager around now? Is that it?

00:32:59Well, stick around and watch you crash and burn.

00:33:01Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay. How can I help you this evening?

00:33:05Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly. It seems there's a misunderstanding. These people don't think that I belong here.

00:33:14Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you this woman is a cleaner.

00:33:18A cleaner? Nonsense. I personally agreed to Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.

00:33:24Exactly. Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.

00:33:33I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.

00:33:36No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.

00:33:41She's been this way since my son divorced her. She's insane.

00:33:44Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop. She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.

00:33:52No! It's a lie! Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too!

00:33:59You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.

00:34:06Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?

00:34:09Wait! Is that why you're covering for her? Huh? Because of the affair? Because she slept with you?

00:34:14Excuse me? Who are you and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?

00:34:18Enough of this. She's right!

00:34:19That's enough. Have you embarrassed yourself enough?

00:34:21This is Lewis Group property. Behave or I'll call security.

00:34:25But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access! She shouldn't be here.

00:34:30Since you're having trouble understanding, Ben, let me make it clear.

00:34:35This hotel is owned by the Lewis family. It's mine to come or go as I please.

00:34:43Thank you for sending me in, Brian. I owe you one. We'll talk about this later.

00:34:53Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harrison.

00:34:58Excuse me, Vice Presidents. I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.

00:35:15I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today?

00:35:18Maplewood Branch. Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Ms. Smith.

00:35:25Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?

00:35:29Ian Lew- Mr. Lewis reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.

00:35:37Oh, expansion plans? Ms. Smith, a decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.

00:35:45And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.

00:35:49But Ian Lewis assured me that-

00:35:53Ms. Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.

00:35:56Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff?

00:35:59Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local-

00:36:02Ms. Smith, we'd like you to leave. If you don't, we'll call security.

00:36:07Hey, stop there. This elevator is a VIP only. Back, please.

00:36:16Of course. My apologies.

00:36:24Laura?

00:36:27Vice Presidents! It's so good to see all of you again.

00:36:31Ms. Lewis, it's been too long.

00:36:34Your return is a lifesaver, Ms. Lewis. The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.

00:36:43The board are begging you to come back, Ms. Lewis.

00:36:47Well, please sit. Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.

00:36:54We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.

00:37:00Local powerhouses and smaller players, too. They'll all be there in one spot.

00:37:06Ms. Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith. She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.

00:37:17She said that, did she? Well, Ms. Smith is a liar. There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.

00:37:24She lied so blatantly. It's unbelievable.

00:37:27Well, don't worry. I found a much more suitable partner.

00:37:33Shepard Group.

00:37:35Shepard Group? Their rise to a public company has been impressive.

00:37:39Do you have anything to do with that?

00:37:42So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?

00:37:46Oh, don't worry about Amber. I've got plans for her.

00:37:55Ms. Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the meeting from us.

00:38:05Cheers. Cheers.

00:38:07You too.

00:38:16I'm not leaving.

00:38:17What are you talking about? No, come on.

00:38:18Wait! I'm Amber Smith. I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch. What are you doing? These are my guests.

00:38:23Yeah, that's right. Tell them who we are.

00:38:25Yes, we were waiting for Ms. Smith.

00:38:28Lewis Group Maplewood branch? No such thing, ma'am. And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.

00:38:34Of course. Laura! She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.

00:38:40That's how she gets away with everything.

00:38:42You underestimate her, Cathy. She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.

00:38:46No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.

00:38:49Careful with your words. Both of you. Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.

00:38:57Look who can't even get into a meeting, whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.

00:39:03And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.

00:39:06Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.

00:39:09Used me? Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.

00:39:14You're so stupid. She threw you away like yesterday's trash.

00:39:18Don't worry, Brian. You deserve better.

00:39:21And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.

00:39:25Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.

00:39:29New branch manager, huh? Interesting.

00:39:33Laura Lewis? What are you doing here? Get out of here!

00:39:37You claim to be the mystery guest.

00:39:40Don't play games, Laura. I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.

00:39:46Only the top companies get those. Looks like you're all out of luck.

00:39:50Is that so? Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.

00:39:57You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.

00:40:03And I decide who goes to the meetings.

00:40:07Escort them out. Their visit is over.

00:40:10Oh, come on. This way, please.

00:40:13I'm not leaving.

00:40:15Move. We're not leaving again. Move.

00:40:17Oh, no, no, no. We're not going. Now.

00:40:19Okay, fine, fine.

00:40:20This isn't over, Laura. You'll see.

00:40:25Thanks for waiting, friend.

00:40:27Laura, I'm glad you're okay.

00:40:31Okay.

00:40:32And thank you for defending me. I really appreciate it.

00:40:40Um, are you coming to the meeting?

00:40:44Yes, but it's going to be tricky.

00:40:48Why? I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.

00:40:54Yes, Laura. There's something you should know.

00:41:02Is this about Ben? Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.

00:41:09He won't even get past security.

00:41:11Laura, it's not Ben. It's someone else.

00:41:17Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?

00:41:21Yes. Her name is Chloe Duke. She is daughter of the Duke family.

00:41:32She's my ex-fiancee. And let's say things didn't end so well between us.

00:41:40And let's just say we didn't end things so well.

00:41:46And for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.

00:41:53And you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting for...

00:42:03...out of jealousy?

00:42:06There's a possibility. She's kind of jealous.

00:42:09Well, all the more reason for you to be there.

00:42:15Besides, I'll be there too.

00:42:20Laura, would you consider being a guest at the meeting?

00:42:26What? Are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too?

00:42:31Maybe a little. But mostly, I want to show them we are a team.

00:42:37Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard. Thank you.

00:42:43Laura.

00:42:48I don't care about your past. I just want to be by your side.

00:42:52I think I'm falling for you.

00:42:54Brian.

00:43:04I appreciate your honesty.

00:43:07And right now, I'm just not...

00:43:11I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.

00:43:15Just with everything going on and going on and...

00:43:18It's okay.

00:43:20I just want to be upfront.

00:43:23And if Chloe tries anything, you won't face her alone.

00:43:30There's just one thing I do need.

00:43:35What is it?

00:43:37A formal dress.

00:43:49Security!

00:43:52She doesn't belong here.

00:43:53This is a private store.

00:43:55Excuse me.

00:43:56We need some assistance.

00:43:58I'm looking for a very particular dress.

00:44:03Wow.

00:44:04It's beautiful.

00:44:06It is.

00:44:07I'll try this one on.

00:44:09Don't bother with her.

00:44:10She can't afford anything here.

00:44:12She's just a cleaner.

00:44:13She doesn't deserve to shop here.

00:44:15She has no money.

00:44:17Yeah, exactly.

00:44:18I mean, what are you doing here?

00:44:20Can't you just leave me alone?

00:44:21I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared.

00:44:24I'm here for retail therapy.

00:44:27Oh, please.

00:44:28This store is for the A-list only.

00:44:30Not some cheapskate like you.

00:44:32Says the woman who barged into my marriage.

00:44:35Hey.

00:44:36Show some respect.

00:44:37Oh, wow.

00:44:38Typical Laura.

00:44:39Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.

00:44:42I would have asked you, but without me, I'm sure you're already broke.

00:44:46Oh, please.

00:44:47Come on.

00:44:48We'll take the dress.

00:44:49Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.

00:44:52What do you mean you don't sell it?

00:44:54I want it.

00:44:55Name your price.

00:44:56It's not about the price, ma'am.

00:44:58This one was custom-made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress.

00:45:02The entire brand belongs to her.

00:45:04This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.

00:45:08It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.

00:45:10What are you talking about?

00:45:12Of course it would suit her.

00:45:13It'd fit her just fine.

00:45:14And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.

00:45:18Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.

00:45:26Oh, please.

00:45:27Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?

00:45:29We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.

00:45:31Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.

00:45:34You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.

00:45:36Could you please tell me more about this dress?

00:45:40Of course.

00:45:41It was custom-made for Laura Lewis, heiress to the Lewis Group fortune.

00:45:46Hand-stitched in Italy, naturally.

00:45:49Apparently there are many more like it.

00:45:51Displayed in high-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.

00:45:57Laura, do you like this dress?

00:46:00Of course.

00:46:01It's custom-made for me.

00:46:03I'm just here to take what's already mine.

00:46:06Oh, you can't be serious.

00:46:08There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.

00:46:11Fine, fine.

00:46:12If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?

00:46:15It would look incredible on me.

00:46:17Miss, this dress is very delicate.

00:46:20If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.

00:46:25Are you calling me fat?

00:46:26Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand?

00:46:31How's that sound?

00:46:32Sir, are you serious?

00:46:33You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?

00:46:37This brand is worth at least 50 million dollars.

00:46:41And to buy it for a waitress?

00:46:44Are you out of your mind?

00:46:45Yes.

00:46:46You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.

00:46:49Just one second.

00:46:53Yes, this is Brian Shepherd, CEO of Shepherd Group.

00:46:56I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.

00:46:59I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.

00:47:05What?

00:47:08Sorry, sir.

00:47:09That brand is not for sale.

00:47:11You see?

00:47:12If we can't have it, neither can you.

00:47:17Mr. Yates.

00:47:18Yes, this is Laura Lewis.

00:47:20I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepherd Group.

00:47:27Oh, come on.

00:47:28Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.

00:47:32Exactly.

00:47:33Come on, this is pathetic.

00:47:34You really think this is going to work?

00:47:35It's sad.

00:47:36Excellent.

00:47:37Thank you, Mr. Yates.

00:47:38That's all.

00:47:39Yes?

01:12:14shepherd group they're the new partner that's partnering up with lewis group for maplewood

01:12:19they're handling all future construction projects that can't be what about us that was our project

01:12:25remember laura teamed up with brian harrison group is practically out we have no chance we can't give

01:12:31up that easily remember ian lewis himself appointed me as general manager in a few days he promised that

01:12:38he would let us meet with a new air you're right if we can just meet with the new air we can bypass

01:12:44the shepherds and meet directly with the lewis group we just have to play their little game and

01:12:49see who comes out on top that's right

01:12:55vice presidents allow me to introduce my associate brian shepherd

01:13:00i'm sure i've mentioned him mr shepherd it's finally a pleasure to meet you we've looked into

01:13:07your uh company's financial review very impressive thank you thank you but a large part of that

01:13:14success is thanks to miss lewis she practically saved me from disaster three times over now brian

01:13:22you can just call me laura miss lewis's recommendation is very telling mr shepherd

01:13:29perhaps today clarifies everything mr shepherd this opportunity is going seize it a woman like laura

01:13:39is not easy to find thank you for your kind words mr vice president

01:13:43did laura send you to kill me laura hardly i'm ian lewis ceo and rightful heir of the lewis group

01:14:02so you're laura's uncle in the flesh so laura really is your niece yes little laura she just threw away

01:14:12her birthright about two three years ago ran off and married a nobody from maplewood i think he was

01:14:19a harrison now laura's got the vps and mr yates on her side did you hear she's throwing a banquet in

01:14:25a few days to announce her official takeover and we can't let that happen can we my dear if you're

01:14:32ian lewis wouldn't you have the family ring well my dear that's where you come in miss duke we need

01:14:38you to relinquish my ring what if i what if i fail my family is already ruined yes you are in a spot of

01:14:47bother i must say but if successful i guarantee that you and the duke family will get back everything

01:14:56you've lost laura's got the vps and brian on her side how can i possibly get the ring there is a way

01:15:02you know that we can make laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly laura my dear welcome
