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

00:13:14for Ben.
00:13:15That's ridiculous.
00:13:17He doesn't look like that.
00:13:19My ring.
00:13:20Jason, give it back to Miss Lewis.
00:13:21Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:13:26Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:13:28Now.
00:13:29Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:13:30Who the heck is this man?
00:13:31Have you been sneaking around?
00:13:33It's all right, ma'am.
00:13:35This is none of your business.
00:13:37I'll grab dead bodies.
00:13:38You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on.
00:13:41We are the Harrisons.
00:13:43You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:13:45Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:13:48Now go back.
00:13:49What?
00:13:49Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:13:52That's a lie.
00:13:53Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.

00:15:11Ben Harrison.
00:15:14You're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:15:18After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:15:28Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:15:32Laura, what are you doing here?
00:15:34Security!
00:15:36Get that woman out of here!
00:15:37We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:15:40Why wouldn't I be here?
00:15:41This is a business event, after all.
00:15:44Business?
00:15:44You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:15:48A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:15:50Just get out!
00:15:52Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:15:55You should have taken my $100,000 offer.

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