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

00:40:19She doesn't
00:40:20deserve to

00:41:08The entire

00:41:17What are
00:41:17you talking

00:41:18Of course
00:41:19it would
00:41:19suit her.
00:41:19It'd fit her
00:41:19just fine.
00:41:21And if
00:41:21it wouldn't
00:41:21fit me,
00:41:22it certainly
00:41:22wouldn't fit
00:41:23your chunky

00:41:43Could you

00:41:51Group fortune,
00:41:53and stitched
00:41:54in Italy,
00:41:54naturally.
00:41:55Apparently,
00:41:56there are
00:41:56many more
00:41:57like it,
00:41:57displayed in
00:41:58high-end
00:41:59stores and

00:42:01the world
00:42:01from her
00:42:02private
00:42:02collection.
00:42:03Laura,
00:42:05do you like
00:42:06this dress?
00:42:07Of course.
00:42:08It's custom-made
00:42:09for me.
00:42:10I'm just here

00:42:11already mine.
00:42:13Oh,
00:42:13you can't be

00:42:23on me.
00:42:24Miss,
00:42:24this dress
00:42:25is very
00:42:26delicate.
00:42:27If I may be

00:42:30fit you
00:42:30properly.
00:42:31Are you
00:42:32calling me
00:42:32fat?
00:42:33Actually,

00:42:36we just

00:42:40You would
00:42:41just buy

00:42:44This brand

00:42:51your mind?

00:42:52You see,
00:42:53even if you
00:42:53had the
00:42:54money,
00:42:54they wouldn't
00:42:54sell it

00:42:55second.

00:44:10Yes?
00:44:11Wow,
00:44:12yes,
00:44:13of course.
00:44:14Absolutely.
00:44:18The store,
00:44:19along with the
00:44:20entire brand,
00:44:20has been sold
00:44:21to Mr. Shepard.
00:44:22The Shepard Group
00:44:24is the new
00:44:24owner.
00:44:25How may I be
00:44:26upstairs today,
00:44:27sir?
00:44:27Well,
00:44:28Laura,

00:44:30fashion,
00:44:31so I would like
00:44:31to give you
00:44:32a friend to you.
00:44:34You can't be
00:44:34serious.
00:44:36You don't have
00:44:36the kind of money
00:44:37to buy this store.
00:44:38Don't listen
00:44:39to her,
00:44:39Brian.
00:44:41You two
00:44:41just go do
00:44:42whatever you do
00:44:43somewhere else.
00:44:44You're not
00:44:44welcome here.

00:44:46two of these

00:44:48I want the
00:44:52two of these
00:44:52out of my store.
00:44:54Of course.
00:44:56Oh,

00:44:58Sir,
00:44:58ma'am,
00:44:59you're afraid
00:44:59I have to ask
00:45:00you to leave?
00:45:00Well,
00:45:00we're not
00:45:01leaving,
00:45:01okay?
00:45:02Hey,

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