Transcript

00:00:00Ryan.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:00:48Hey, this is a private suggestion.

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

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

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

00:01:08Do I know you?

00:01:11What are you doing?

00:01:13What are you doing?

00:01:15You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.

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

00:01:20This is incredible.

00:01:22What's going on?

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

00:01:26The price is holding.

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

00:01:36We met before.

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

00:01:40So, tell me, how could I ever repay you for this?

00:01:45If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.

00:01:59Jason, can we have five now?

00:02:02Mr. Yates.

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

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

00:02:19No, ma'am. I just thought you might like discreet today.

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

00:02:28Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.

00:02:31Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.

00:02:38Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do at some other time.

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

00:02:48Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.

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

00:02:58For my sake.

00:03:08Divorce papers. Sign it.

00:03:10Why?

00:03:11You are not worthy of my son anymore. The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract. The Shepherd Group. And you? You're just a cleaner.

00:03:30The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time. I need a wife who reflects my status.

00:03:36I secured that $100 million contract.

00:03:41Are you? A cleaning woman? Handing out million dollar deals? Don't make me laugh.

00:03:48I did! It was my present to Ben for his birthday!

00:03:53I was the one who got Bryan Harrison to give Ben that deal.

00:03:58What are you doing here?

00:04:00Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family. Amber's family is practically a local royalty.

00:04:07Local royalty. A small town rich person is royalty.

00:04:12And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner? Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor. Doesn't it, Ben?

00:04:20Ben? What's going on? Is this why you want a divorce? Because of her?

00:04:28Oh, please. I've spent years building Harrison Group. You're still a cleaner. You just grew apart, that's all.

00:04:35Grown apart? No.

00:04:39No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.

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

00:04:47Ha! Money is a motivator, isn't it?

00:04:51Ben?

00:04:53Alright. Here. $100,000. Open up a small shop or something nice, ain't it?

00:04:59$100,000?

00:05:01I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today. Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?

00:05:08Don't be ridiculous. You've never done anything for Ben's success. This is our act of charity, Jordan.

00:05:16Here. A million dollars. Take this. You just want more money, don't you? Just leave and never see Ben again.

00:05:23I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this. Since none of you respect me.

00:05:34A cleaning lady threatening us? I'm so scared. Just leave. You already make this house stink.

00:05:42Make up, she's gone. Go to written store.

00:05:55Sir? Laura Lewis' information.

00:05:58She's Ben Harrison's wife. No wonder why she wanted us to partner with them.

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

00:06:09Divorced her? Wait a minute. Don't you remember?

00:06:15She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.

00:06:20Yeah. She saved our hiding then. Remember?

00:06:23Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?

00:06:29I don't know. Let's get to the bottom of this.

00:06:36Hey! What are you doing? Let go of me!

00:06:39You attacked Amber! Apologize this instant!

00:06:44Stealing from the Harrisons. We gave you a generous divorce settlement, you refused it, and now you're stealing!

00:06:50She couldn't afford it. You're a thief!

00:07:00That's mine! Give it back!

00:07:02That's enough!

00:07:04Laura?

00:07:06I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.

00:07:10It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce. You see, it's...

00:07:17Who are you?

00:07:19Boris New Squeeze.

00:07:21Excuse me. Do you know who I am?

00:07:23Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?

00:07:26Shame on you!

00:07:28Mr. Shepard, I...

00:07:30For your information, my name is Brian Shepard. I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.

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

00:07:37You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?

00:07:41That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.

00:07:47That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that. My ring.

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

00:07:53Oh, hey, what are you doing?

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

00:07:59Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man or have you been sneaking around?

00:08:05It's alright, ma'am. This is none of your business.

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

00:08:13We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.

00:08:17Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. I'll go back.

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

00:08:23Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura. You come back here and explain yourself.

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

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

00:08:37Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.

00:08:42I don't feel good about going through the signing event.

00:08:45After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?

00:08:48No! No, the event will proceed.

00:08:54Besides, I'll be there.

00:08:57There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.

00:09:02Who are you, truly?

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

00:09:08Can you pull up over here, please?

00:09:10Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners and we're going to have a meeting.

00:09:23An investment meeting, one week from today.

00:09:26Make sure everyone is there.

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

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

00:09:42Ben Harrison, you're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.

00:09:54After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.

00:10:00Only after then, my darling, we can get married.

00:10:02Laura, what are you doing here?

00:10:06Security, get that woman out of here. We don't need cleaners at this event.

00:10:11Why wouldn't I be here? This is a business event, after all.

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

00:10:19A fancy dress doesn't make you have society, honey. Just get out.

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

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

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

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

00:10:37You don't belong here. Just get out!

00:10:40Oh.

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

00:10:51This contract is mine. To give or take away as I see it.

00:10:58Don't be ridiculous! This is insane! Who do you think you are?

00:11:02Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.

00:11:05Security! She's lost a mind! This is a disaster!

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

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

00:11:35Laura?

00:11:36Laura?

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

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

00:11:48Who are you?

00:11:49Laura's new squeeze.

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

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

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

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

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

00:12:09You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?

00:12:12That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.

00:12:17That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that. My ring.

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

00:12:24Hey, what are you doing?

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

00:12:30Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?

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

00:12:39I'll grab dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on.

00:12:44We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.

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

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

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

00:12:58Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.

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

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

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

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

00:13:20No. Um, no. The event will proceed.

00:13:24Besides, I'll be there.

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

00:13:34Who are you, truly?

00:13:36You'll find out.

00:13:38Mr. Shepard.

00:13:40Um, can you pull up over here, please?

00:13:41Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners and we're going to have a meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today.

00:13:56Make sure everyone is there.

00:14:46Business? You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.

00:14:50A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey. Just get out.

00:14:54Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for. You should have taken my $100,000 offer.

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

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

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

00:15:12Oh.

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

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

00:15:28Don't be ridiculous! This is insane! Who do you think you are?

00:15:33Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.

00:15:36Security! She's lost a mind! This is a disaster!

00:15:40Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't deserve it...

00:15:47You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help?

00:15:48You're so silly, Lord.

00:15:49You don't deserve it.

00:15:50You don't deserve it.

00:15:51Oh...

00:15:54Oh no!

00:15:57Oh no!

00:15:58Stop, Tom.

00:15:59Oh, look.

00:16:00Bye.

00:16:02You're so silly, Laura.

00:16:03Oh, him.

00:16:04Oh, I can't listen to that.

00:16:06Whatever's so funny...

00:16:07What's so funny?

00:16:11No, I can't...

00:16:12You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help?

00:16:15is gonna help? You're so silly, Lauren.

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

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

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

00:16:28And after careful consideration,

00:16:31I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.

00:16:36You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?

00:16:41You have no authority here.

00:16:43Of course she has the authority.

00:16:45That's the man that Laura went with the other day. What is he doing here?

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

00:16:56Is that really Brian Shepard?

00:16:58Laura, are you alright?

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

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

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

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

00:17:14Effective immediately.

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

00:17:21It's her. She ruined the contract.

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

00:17:25An affair? She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?

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

00:17:34Don't touch me!

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

00:17:40You're a disgrace. An adulterer. You deserve to be around.

00:17:43Shut up!

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

00:17:52Tricked? Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?

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

00:18:02Laura Lewis, right?

00:18:04Lewis Group? The Financial Giants?

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

00:18:11That's crazy. There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name. That's absurd.

00:18:17It's, it's, it's absurd! A high society heirs wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.

00:18:25Yeah, yeah, it's a lie. It's a lie. This woman was a waitress when I met her.

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

00:18:33She's nothing special. She only married me out of gratitude.

00:18:36I was just a waitress. How convenient for your story, Ben.

00:18:42First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.

00:18:45Okay, listen up, everybody. When I met her, I'd only just started my business.

00:18:49Mm-hmm. Now look at me. I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.

00:18:53And look at her. Still just a cleaner.

00:18:56Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife. She's doing all this out of spite.

00:19:02She's lying, Mr. Shepard. She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?

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

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

00:19:16I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.

00:19:22Don't lie. You were never good enough for Ben when you married him. Oops.

00:19:27That roof was built with lies. Cathy, you never respected me.

00:19:32And Ben? Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.

00:19:37And the cheating. I think you're blaming the wrong person.

00:19:43You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.

00:19:47If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Cathy.

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

00:20:03Wait, wait, wait. Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?

00:20:06And then just walk out like nothing happened?

00:20:08I don't think so. You're a cleaner. You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.

00:20:12Nobody cares about you.

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

00:20:19I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.

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

00:20:30I think all jobs are important. Right, Mom?

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

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

00:20:40A janitor.

00:20:42Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?

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

00:20:56Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie. This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.

00:21:02I...but, well...

00:21:03A lie, you say? Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group. But I don't recognize you.

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

00:21:14Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions. This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.

00:21:24But the contract...I mean, Laura tore it up. So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?

00:21:31Reprint it, Mr. Harrison. Perhaps you haven't been paying attention. Without Miss Lewis' involvement, I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.

00:21:42Today, I want to make it clear. Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.

00:21:52Miss Smith, you lied to us. You destroyed everything.

00:21:59What? No, it's a misunderstanding. I can explain.

00:22:03Lewis? Lewis Family Group? This can't be.

00:22:08Believe what you want, Ben. Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.

00:22:14Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood. And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.

00:22:26Everyone, listen to me. Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.

00:22:33A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.

00:22:39The charade is over, Mr. Harrison. Everyone here deserves to see the truth.

00:22:47Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?

00:22:55Someone get a doctor.

00:22:57Help!

00:22:58Mom!

00:22:59Someone get a doctor!

00:23:00Mom!

00:23:01It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.

00:23:05Mr. Shepard.

00:23:07Indeed.

00:23:08Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.

00:23:21What? What now?

00:23:24Mom, this is not all on me.

00:23:26Not on you!

00:23:28I was trying to help.

00:23:30She cheated on you with Shepard.

00:23:32Flaunted their affair.

00:23:33Exactly.

00:23:35And those dresses?

00:23:36Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?

00:23:39Miss Smith, how could you do this?

00:23:42We trusted you completely.

00:23:44What? No, no.

00:23:45I got Ben the deal.

00:23:47I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.

00:23:50She's a liar!

00:23:52Oh, stop it, Amber.

00:23:53You lied to us just as much as she did.

00:23:56Lied?

00:23:58You're on my side.

00:24:00And anyways, I have a plan.

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

00:24:04We can expose Laura in all her lies.

00:24:06Go national.

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

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

00:24:15Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.

00:24:16Thank you as well for standing up for me.

00:24:17It's alright, Laura.

00:24:18You deserve the credit for all your hard work.

00:24:19Can I ask you something?

00:24:20Do you have any place to stay tonight?

00:24:21Maybe a hotel?

00:24:22Don't, don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.

00:24:23I'll be fine.

00:24:25Excuse me, you can just drop me off.

00:24:26Actually, Laura, actually, Laura, there is something else.

00:24:29Would you consider to go out for dinner sometime?

00:24:30Just casually, of course.

00:24:31Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?

00:24:32Please, call me Brian.

00:24:33And yes, technically, there seems to be a place to go out.

00:24:34I don't know.

00:24:35I don't know.

00:24:36I don't know.

00:24:37I don't know.

00:24:38I don't know.

00:24:39I don't know.

00:24:40I don't know.

00:24:41I don't know.

00:24:42I don't know.

00:24:43I don't know.

00:24:44I don't know.

00:24:45I don't know.

00:24:46I don't know.

00:24:47Just casually, of course.

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

00:24:52Please, call me Brian.

00:24:55And yes, technically, you're single now.

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

00:25:10Proper?

00:25:12Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.

00:25:16Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.

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

00:25:24So what do you say?

00:25:26Dinner?

00:25:27Just two people getting to know each other.

00:25:34I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.

00:25:36I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't-

00:25:39Wait, Laura.

00:25:40Just here is fine.

00:25:41Laura?

00:25:42Laura?

00:25:43Who is it?

00:25:44Laura, wait!

00:25:45Jason, find out who owns that car and do it fast.

00:26:02Ian Lewis?

00:26:03Who is this?

00:26:04It's Amber Smith.

00:26:05Mr. Lewis?

00:26:06I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.

00:26:07I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.

00:26:08How did you get this number?

00:26:09Don't worry about that right now.

00:26:10I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.

00:26:11Someone I know very well.

00:26:12Impersonating my niece?

00:26:13And where is this fake Laura?

00:26:14Right here in Maplewood.

00:26:15And let me tell you, she's causing quite a situation.

00:26:17I don't know who you are.

00:26:18Mr. Lewis, I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about

00:26:20your family.

00:26:21I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.

00:26:22How did you get this number?

00:26:23Don't worry about that right now.

00:26:24I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.

00:26:27Someone I know very well.

00:26:29Impersonating my niece?

00:26:32And where is this fake Laura?

00:26:35Right here in Maplewood.

00:26:37And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.

00:26:41Well, what is she doing exactly?

00:26:45And more to the point, what do you want from me?

00:26:49In the next few days, the Lewis group will hold an investment meeting, right?

00:26:53I want to meet with the vice presidents.

00:26:56All will be revealed then.

00:26:58Very well.

00:26:59I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.

00:27:02But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I-

00:27:05It won't be.

00:27:06Trust me, Mr. Lewis.

00:27:08Thank you, Mr.

00:27:14That little rascal Laura.

00:27:18I wonder what she's up to now.

00:27:23That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubler.

00:27:28Oh, Lewis family.

00:27:32That's interesting.

00:27:34Could you be connected to them somehow?

00:27:37I'm not sure.

00:27:39Brian!

00:27:41There you are.

00:27:43I've missed you.

00:27:44Chloe.

00:27:45What are you up to?

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

00:27:49What do you mean?

00:27:50Can't I visit the man I love?

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

00:27:55It was just one teensy mistake.

00:27:58I was, I was a little bit tipsy.

00:28:00Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?

00:28:02Teensy mistake you say?

00:28:04You cheated on me.

00:28:09Is this your new fling?

00:28:11Ex-divorcey.

00:28:12Used to clean floors.

00:28:15Quite the catch, aren't you saying?

00:28:17Look, my relationship with her is none of your business.

00:28:21And don't you dare talk about her like that.

00:28:24Please.

00:28:25An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.

00:28:30It's a classic story.

00:28:31That's enough.

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

00:28:34You want to be careful, Brian.

00:28:37Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.

00:28:40If you want Shepherd Group to stay afloat,

00:28:43you ought to be more careful.

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

00:28:57This is it.

00:28:58The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.

00:29:00Once I'm done speaking with them,

00:29:02I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.

00:29:05I'll go speak with them first,

00:29:07and then I'll introduce you.

00:29:10Well, well, well.

00:29:11Look who it is.

00:29:13What a surprise.

00:29:14Did Brian teach you already?

00:29:16That's none of your business.

00:29:19Now move aside, please.

00:29:21Laura?

00:29:22Just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?

00:29:25You really think you can just ruin my events again?

00:29:27Haven't you ruined my life enough?

00:29:28Don't you have any shame?

00:29:29If you'll excuse me,

00:29:31I have an important meeting to get to.

00:29:34Oh, the nerve.

00:29:35After everything you've done,

00:29:36you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?

00:29:40Seriously?

00:29:41I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.

00:29:46Oh, that's gold.

00:29:47You really think that they're gonna let you in, Laura?

00:29:50Please, you're no one compared to me.

00:29:52You don't deserve to be here.

00:29:54The only ones who don't belong here are you three.

00:29:59And you, idiot.

00:30:01Believing every lie that she tells you.

00:30:03Wake up, Ben.

00:30:05Oh, Laura!

00:30:06Laura, come on.

00:30:07Why do you always pull this on me?

00:30:09I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?

00:30:13I know what this is.

00:30:15So stupid.

00:30:16Oh, shut your trap.

00:30:19Amber spoke directly with the CEO.

00:30:21He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.

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

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

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

00:30:42Oh, that's rich.

00:30:43You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.

00:30:46I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.

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

00:30:54You mean my uncle?

00:30:56Ian, don't be ridiculous.

00:30:59Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.

00:31:03And besides, this looks fake.

00:31:06She's a liar.

00:31:08This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.

00:31:13It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.

00:31:18She's lying.

00:31:19They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.

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

00:31:28Not that I know of.

00:31:31See?

00:31:32She's lying.

00:31:33There you have it, Laura.

00:31:34Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.

00:31:36Go on, get lost before things get worse.

00:31:41Here, take this one.

00:31:43Lead me to the vice president's.

00:31:45You have no idea what you just did.

00:31:49There be consequences.

00:31:50Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have, why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?

00:32:04Security!

00:32:05Security!

00:32:06We need this woman removed immediately.

00:32:07She is harassing me.

00:32:08We're done with your games, Laura.

00:32:10You're just a fraud.

00:32:11Ma'am, please move.

00:32:12What?

00:32:13Hold on!

00:32:17Brian Shepard?

00:32:19You think money buys you the right to walk all over people?

00:32:21Well, it doesn't.

00:32:22Yeah.

00:32:23Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?

00:32:26What other plans do you have to destroy this time?

00:32:28Get you out?

00:32:29After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.

00:32:32Don't play dumb.

00:32:34We know exactly what's been happening here.

00:32:36How long has this little affair been going on?

00:32:38You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.

00:32:41Hold on a second.

00:32:43An affair?

00:32:44You think Laura and I?

00:32:47You people are unbelievable.

00:32:51Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP.

00:32:54We have a situation.

00:32:56What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?

00:32:58Is that it?

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

00:33:01Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.

00:33:03How can I help you this evening?

00:33:05Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.

00:33:08It seems there's a misunderstanding.

00:33:11These people don't think that I belong here.

00:33:15Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.

00:33:18A cleaner?

00:33:19Nonsense.

00:33:20I personally greeted Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.

00:33:24Exactly.

00:33:25Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.

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

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

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

00:33:43She's insane.

00:33:44Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.

00:33:48She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.

00:33:52No!

00:33:53It's a lie!

00:33:54Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too!

00:33:57You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.

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

00:34:09Wait!

00:34:10Is that why you're covering for her?

00:34:11Huh?

00:34:12Because of the affair?

00:34:13Because she slept with you?

00:34:14Excuse me?

00:34:15Of course.

00:34:16Who are you and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?

00:34:18Enough of this!

00:34:19That's enough.

00:34:20Having you embarrass yourself enough.

00:34:22This is Lewis Group property.

00:34:24Behave or I'll call security.

00:34:26But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access.

00:34:29She shouldn't be here.

00:34:31Since you're having trouble understanding, Ben, let me make it clear.

00:34:36This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.

00:34:39It's mine to come or go as I please.

00:34:44Thank you for stepping in, Brian.

00:34:49I owe you one.

00:34:52We'll talk about this later.

00:34:54Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harrison.

00:35:05Come in!

00:35:08Excuse me, Vice Presidents.

00:35:10I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.

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

00:35:18Maplewood Branch.

00:35:20Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Miss Smith.

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

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

00:35:38Ms. Smith, a decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.

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

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

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

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

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

00:36:02Ms. Smith, we'd like you to leave.

00:36:04If you don't, we'll call security.

00:36:11Hey.

00:36:12Stop there.

00:36:13This elevator's a VIP only.

00:36:15Back, please.

00:36:16Of course.

00:36:17My apologies.

00:36:24Laura?

00:36:27Vice Presidents!

00:36:28It's so good to see all of you again.

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

00:36:34Your return is a lifesaver, Ms. Lewis.

00:36:37The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.

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

00:36:47Well, please sit.

00:36:50Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.

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

00:37:00Local powerhouses and smaller players, too.

00:37:04They'll all be there in one spot.

00:37:06Ms. Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.

00:37:10She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.

00:37:17She said that, did she?

00:37:19Well, Ms. Smith is a liar.

00:37:21There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.

00:37:24She lied so blatantly.

00:37:26It was, it's unbelievable.

00:37:28Well, don't worry.

00:37:29I found a much more suitable partner.

00:37:34Shepard Group.

00:37:35Shepard Group?

00:37:36Their rise to a public company has been impressive.

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

00:37:43So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?

00:37:47Oh, don't worry about Amber.

00:37:51I've got plans for her.

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

00:38:02From us.

00:38:04Cheers.

00:38:05Cheers.

00:38:09You too.

00:38:10Go.

00:38:11No, I'm not leaving.

00:38:12What are you talking about?

00:38:13No, come on.

00:38:14Wait!

00:38:15I'm Amber Smith.

00:38:16I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch.

00:38:17What are you doing?

00:38:18These are my guests.

00:38:19Yeah, that's right.

00:38:20Tell them who we are.

00:38:21Yes, we were waiting for Ms. Smith.

00:38:22Lewis Group, Maplewood branch.

00:38:23No such thing, ma'am.

00:38:24And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.

00:38:26Oh, of course.

00:38:27Laura!

00:38:28She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.

00:38:29That's how she gets away with everything.

00:38:30You underestimate her, Cathy.

00:38:31She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.

00:38:32No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.

00:38:33Careful with your words.

00:38:34Both of you.

00:38:35Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.

00:38:36Look who can't even get into a meeting.

00:38:37Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.

00:38:38And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.

00:38:39And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.

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

00:38:41You underestimate her, Cathy.

00:38:42She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.

00:38:47No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.

00:38:50Careful with your words.

00:38:51Both of you.

00:38:53Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.

00:38:56Look who can't even get into a meeting.

00:38:59Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.

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

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

00:39:09Used me?

00:39:10Unlike some people.

00:39:12I don't mind being helpful.

00:39:14You're so stupid.

00:39:15She threw you away like yesterday's trash.

00:39:18Don't worry, Brian.

00:39:19You deserve better.

00:39:21And let's not forget.

00:39:22I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.

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

00:39:28Ian Lewis.

00:39:29New branch manager, huh?

00:39:32Interesting.

00:39:33Laura Lewis?

00:39:35What are you doing here?

00:39:36Get out of here!

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

00:39:40Don't play games, Laura.

00:39:42I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.

00:39:46Only the top companies get those.

00:39:49Looks like you're all out of luck.

00:39:51Is that so?

00:39:53Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.

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

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

00:40:07Escort them out.

00:40:08What?

00:40:09Their visit is over.

00:40:10Oh, come on.

00:40:11This way, please.

00:40:13I'm not leaving.

00:40:14Move.

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

00:40:16Move.

00:40:17Oh, no, no, no.

00:40:18We're not going.

00:40:19Now.

00:40:20What?

00:40:21This isn't over, Laura.

00:40:22You'll see.

00:40:26Thanks for waiting, Ren.

00:40:29Laura, I'm glad you're okay.

00:40:32And thank you for defending me.

00:40:36I really appreciate it.

00:40:41Um, are you coming to the meeting?

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

00:40:50Why?

00:40:51I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.

00:40:57Yes, Laura.

00:41:00There's something you should know.

00:41:03Is this about Ben?

00:41:06Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.

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

00:41:12Laura, it's not Ben.

00:41:15It's someone else.

00:41:18Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?

00:41:23Yes.

00:41:25Her name is Chloe Duke.

00:41:28She is daughter of the Duke family.

00:41:32She's my ex-fiancee.

00:41:35And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.

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

00:41:47And for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.

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

00:42:03Out of jealousy?

00:42:06There's a possibility.

00:42:08She's kind of jealous.

00:42:10Well, all the more reason for you to be there.

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

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

00:42:26What?

00:42:27Are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too?

00:42:31Maybe a little.

00:42:33But mostly, I want to show them we're a team.

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

00:42:42Laura, I don't care about your past.

00:42:50I just want to be by your side.

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

00:42:58Brian.

00:43:04I appreciate your honesty.

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

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

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

00:43:18It's okay.

00:43:19I just want to be upfront.

00:43:23And if Chloe tries anything,

00:43:25you won't face her alone.

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

00:43:35What is it?

00:43:37A formal dress.

00:43:49Security!

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

00:43:53This is a private store.

00:43:55Excuse me.

00:43:56We need some assistance.

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

00:44:03Wow.

00:44:04It's beautiful.

00:44:06It is.

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

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

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

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

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

00:44:15She has no money.

00:44:17Yeah, exactly.

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

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

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

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

00:44:27Oh, please.

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

00:44:30Not some cheapskate like you.

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

00:44:34Hey, show some respect.

00:44:37Oh, wow.

00:44:38Typical Laura.

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

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

00:44:46Oh, please.

00:44:47Come on.

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

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

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

00:44:54I want it.

00:44:55Name your price.

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

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

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

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

00:45:09It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.

00:45:11What are you talking about?

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

00:45:13It would fit her just fine.

00:45:15And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.

00:45:19Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.

00:45:22Oh, please.

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

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

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

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

00:45:37Could you please tell me more about this dress?

00:45:40Of course.

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

00:45:47Hand stitched in Italy, naturally.

00:45:49And apparently there are many more like it displayed in high-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.

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

00:46:00Of course.

00:46:02It's custom made for me.

00:46:04I'm just here to take what's already mine.

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

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

00:46:11Fine, fine.

00:46:13If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?

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

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

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

00:46:25Are you calling me fat?

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

00:46:32How's that sound?

00:46:33Sir, are you serious?

00:46:34You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?

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

00:46:40And to buy it for a waitress?

00:46:43Are you out of your mind?

00:46:45Yes.

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

00:46:49Just one second.

00:46:50Yes, this is Brian Shepard, CEO of Shepard Group.

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

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

00:47:05What?

00:47:06Sorry sir, that brand is not for sale.

00:47:12You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.

00:47:18Mr. Yates, yes, this is Laura Lewis.

00:47:22I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepard Group.

00:47:27Oh, come on.

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

00:47:32Exactly.

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

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

00:47:35It's sad.

00:47:36Excellent.

00:47:38Thank you, Mr. Yates, that's all.

00:47:46Yes?

00:47:51What?

00:47:52Are you willing to sell me the brand?

00:47:57Awesome.

00:48:02Hello?

00:48:03Yes?

00:48:05Wow.

00:48:06Yes, of course.

00:48:07Absolutely.

00:48:11The store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepard.

00:48:16The Shepard Group is the new owner.

00:48:18How may I be of service today, sir?

00:48:21Well, Laura, I don't know much about fashion.

00:48:24So I would like to give you this brand to you.

00:48:28You can't be serious.

00:48:29You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.

00:48:31Don't listen to her, Brian.

00:48:34You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.

00:48:38You're not welcome here.

00:48:39I want the two of these out of my store.

00:48:45I want the two of these out of my store.

00:48:47Of course.

00:48:51Oh, come on.

00:48:52Sir?

00:48:53Ma'am?

00:48:54You're afraid I have to ask you to leave?

00:48:55Well, we're not leaving.

00:48:56Okay?

00:48:57Hey, hey, hey!

00:48:58This isn't over, Laura!

00:48:59Could I try the dress on now?

00:49:01Of course, Miss Lewis.

00:49:03You just follow me.

00:49:04Well, Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.

00:49:18Laura, you look breathtaking in this dress.

00:49:22Brian, why would you do all of this for me?

00:49:28Laura, you guys deserve everything beautiful in the world.

00:49:35And that includes this dress.

00:49:40Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?

00:49:44I...

00:49:46I need a moment.

00:49:48Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?

00:49:53Does that mean it could be a yes?

00:49:56Maybe.

00:49:58Hi.

00:50:02Hi.

00:50:10Hi.

00:50:13What?

00:50:15Well, well, well.

00:50:17Look who decided to join the party.

00:50:19Playing dress-up again, Laura?

00:50:21One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.

00:50:24And you understand the meaning of rude.

00:50:26You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?

00:50:29For this.

00:50:30This gold digger.

00:50:32You know, Ben.

00:50:34I really cared about you.

00:50:35Even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.

00:50:38I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.

00:50:42Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.

00:50:48Enough!

00:50:49I've had enough of this drama.

00:50:50Yeah, me too.

00:50:52Try that again, and you'll regret it.

00:50:55I'll get the hell out of my face.

00:50:57Let's see if you two even make it past the door.

00:50:59Yeah.

00:51:00I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.

00:51:05What?

00:51:06That's impossible.

00:51:08I was invited by the CEO himself.

00:51:12Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group's name is on the list.

00:51:17What?

00:51:18Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.

00:51:21You don't have an invitation.

00:51:23You're just here because of Brian.

00:51:28Let me see this.

00:51:29This doesn't even look real.

00:51:31It's different from mine.

00:51:32Why don't you ask her if it's real?

00:51:37This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.

00:51:42Please, right this way.

00:51:43We can continue this discussion later.

00:51:46If you manage to get in.

00:51:51Sir.

00:51:52Madam.

00:51:53We recommend you leave.

00:51:56There you are!

00:51:58How dare you steal my fiancé!

00:52:02There you are!

00:52:04How dare you steal my fiancé!

00:52:06Looks like another relationship fights the dust, Laura.

00:52:09Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours.

00:52:12Get away from him!

00:52:14He's engaged to me!

00:52:15Hey, hey, hey.

00:52:16Hold your horses, Glenn.

00:52:17That ended a long time ago.

00:52:19Engaged to you.

00:52:21Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.

00:52:25Your relationship's history.

00:52:27That was just a little tiff.

00:52:29You really think that could tear us apart?

00:52:32Don't you know who I am?

00:52:34Don't pretend like you don't know.

00:52:37Oh, honey.

00:52:38She don't recognize royalty, let alone a duke.

00:52:40She's just a maid, remember?

00:52:42I don't have time for all this drama.

00:52:45Brian?

00:52:47Let's head inside.

00:52:49Brian!

00:52:51How could you choose this cleaner over me?

00:52:54Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?

00:52:58There's nothing left to say, Gloria.

00:53:00Don't make this a scene.

00:53:02Shall we?

00:53:04You okay, Miss Duke?

00:53:09And you are?

00:53:11Amber Smith.

00:53:13I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.

00:53:16What branch? I've never heard of it.

00:53:18What do you want from me?

00:53:19That Laura!

00:53:21She tore up my invitation.

00:53:23Do you think you can get me inside?

00:53:24What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?

00:53:27Please don't waste my time.

00:53:28Please don't waste my time.

00:53:29Please don't waste my time.

00:53:30Please don't waste my time.

00:53:31I'm gonna do it right now.

00:53:32Please don't waste my time.

00:53:33Please don't waste my time.

00:53:36I'm going to work on it.

00:53:38I'm going to make sure the next door opens.

00:53:39I'll be back in the room.

00:53:40I will be back in the room.

00:53:42It's the room.

00:53:44It's really nice to see her.

00:53:47I'll be back in the room.

00:53:49Your little finger is left in the room.

00:53:51So please don't waste your time now.

00:53:53Why are you making aי iron or auity?

00:53:54If I can't have Brian, neither can you. The Duke family has more influence than you think.

00:54:09Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.

00:54:12Uncle Jones, how are you?

00:54:14Good.

00:54:16I need your help with something.

00:54:18What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.

00:54:21It's Brian.

00:54:23Who's that woman? I thought you were...

00:54:26She's a con woman. She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.

00:54:30What? Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?

00:54:36Well, she's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.

00:54:40What are you planning?

00:54:43I want to destroy Shepard Group.

00:54:48Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.

00:54:51I had no idea she would be so...

00:54:54Intense.

00:54:59What do you mean?

00:55:00You so should have taken her up on her offer.

00:55:03I mean, you guys are just...

00:55:05Power couple.

00:55:07I see what you're doing.

00:55:11Power couple, you say.

00:55:13More like a disaster waiting to happen.

00:55:18Anyway, shall we take a seat?

00:55:20Actually, Brian, my seat is...

00:55:23It's up there.

00:55:27Really?

00:55:28She doesn't deserve to sit there.

00:55:30Excuse me.

00:55:31This is my VIP invitation.

00:55:34I can sit wherever I like.

00:55:37Hey, what do you think you're doing?

00:55:38This is signed by all three VPs of Louis Group.

00:55:42Where did you get this?

00:55:45Who did you have to sleep with?

00:55:46That's enough.

00:55:49This is getting us nowhere.

00:55:51Laura is my guest.

00:55:53And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.

00:55:58Got it?

00:56:00Mr. Shepard, what do you see in that woman?

00:56:04Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.

00:56:06She's from a good family.

00:56:08Beautiful and successful.

00:56:10What more could you ask for?

00:56:12That's a good question.

00:56:14Not much, actually.

00:56:17Honesty.

00:56:19That's what I want.

00:56:21And love.

00:56:23Things that clearly Chloe has no idea.

00:56:26I said I was sorry.

00:56:28What more do you want?

00:56:30I've watched Chloe grow up.

00:56:32She's like a daughter to me.

00:56:34I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.

00:56:40One more chance, Brian.

00:56:42Let's forget all this nonsense.

00:56:45Do it, Mr. Shepard.

00:56:46Propose right here, right now.

00:56:50Brian?

00:56:53Well, is this how the Duke family handles business deals?

00:56:57By forcing a ring on someone?

00:57:01Do it.

00:57:02Or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.

00:57:10Don't you dare.

00:57:13You're humiliating yourself.

00:57:14How dare you?

00:57:16Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?

00:57:19Yes.

00:57:21I like her.

00:57:24But I can't imagine someone like her interested in me.

00:57:27The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.

00:57:35Why would you choose someone like her?

00:57:37I know.

00:57:38Exactly.

00:57:39This woman is trouble.

00:57:40She doesn't belong here.

00:57:42Throw her out.

00:57:42You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me.

00:57:48Interesting turn of events.

00:57:51Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.

00:57:55Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress Laura Lewis?

00:58:01You know what?

00:58:04Maybe you're right, Chloe.

00:58:06How ridiculous.

00:58:08Is that what you've been telling everyone?

00:58:10I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow.

00:58:17Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?

00:58:21You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.

00:58:23That's enough.

00:58:25You don't get to talk here.

00:58:26You got mad, Shepard.

00:58:27You dare to go against Miss Duke.

00:58:29And the same applies to everyone else here.

00:58:32Anyone who insults Laura.

00:58:35Leave us with a black eye.

00:58:37It's willing to offend the Duke for her.

00:58:38What kind of charm does she have?

00:58:40I want to be careful, Brian.

00:58:42Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.

00:58:46Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?

00:58:50The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone.

00:58:53Especially not Shepard Group.

00:58:59Lewis Group RS?

00:59:01You?

00:59:02Don't make me laugh.

00:59:05Security!

00:59:06Remove these two imposters from the premises.

00:59:09Wait, Uncle Jones.

00:59:10Give Brian another chance.

00:59:12Choose, Brian.

00:59:14Me and the future you deserve.

00:59:16Or this fraud.

00:59:18Chloé, I have everything I ever wanted right here.

00:59:26And I wouldn't trade for all the power that took so many Maplewood.

00:59:30Fine.

00:59:36Short the stock of the Shepard Group.

00:59:38What?

00:59:38You forced my hand, Brian.

00:59:43Now Shepard Group is ruined.

00:59:45The Duke family.

00:59:46They can't be serious.

00:59:48Shepard Group is doomed.

00:59:49Brian.

00:59:50You don't have to do this for me.

00:59:54Laura.

00:59:55I will never let anyone bully you.

00:59:58Let alone them.

00:59:59Thank you, Brian.

01:00:02For...

01:00:02For believing in me.

01:00:05For...

01:00:06Protecting me.

01:00:07Now it's my turn.

01:00:10To protect you.

01:00:17Listen carefully.

01:00:19I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.

01:00:22At all costs.

01:00:24Don't let it drop.

01:00:26Even one cent.

01:00:29Do you understand?

01:00:30Wow.

01:00:32Award winning performance, Laura.

01:00:34But you can't possibly control the stock market.

01:00:37Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?

01:00:42If...

01:00:43The Shepard stock holds...

01:00:46For the next five minutes...

01:00:50You owe me a public apology.

01:00:59Deal.

01:01:00Well...

01:01:04Looks like your five minutes is up.

01:01:08Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.

01:01:15What the?

01:01:17The Shepard Group stock price is?

01:01:19It's going up!

01:01:21This can't be happening.

01:01:21It must be a coincidence.

01:01:29Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?

01:01:31There was a huge investment.

01:01:34We couldn't compete.

01:01:35Shepard stock price is being heavily supported.

01:01:38How did you do this?

01:01:40Like I said, Chloe...

01:01:43I'm...

01:01:45Laura Lewis.

01:01:47No, you're not.

01:01:48You're just some cleaner.

01:01:49You don't have access to billions.

01:01:51Well...

01:01:52I think it's time for my apology.

01:01:55No.

01:02:01I think it's time for my apology.

01:02:03There is no way I'm apologizing to you.

01:02:06If things were the other way,

01:02:07would you be so quick to forgive me, Chloe?

01:02:11The truth is...

01:02:13Everyone here...

01:02:16has seen you be a bully.

01:02:17And a coward.

01:02:19And now...

01:02:21a sore loser.

01:02:23This is so humiliating for her.

01:02:27How did she manage that?

01:02:29Maybe she really is a Lewis.

01:02:31Apologize to Miss Lewis.

01:02:33Shut up.

01:02:34Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.

01:02:37Don't forget,

01:02:39the Duke family owned half of Maplewood.

01:02:41You don't deserve us.

01:02:43Let's get out of here.

01:02:45Hold on.

01:02:47This is where I belong.

01:02:49And that...

01:02:51is my chair.

01:02:54You can't go there.

01:02:55That is the VIP section.

01:02:57Only those invited by the Lewis Group vice presidents get to sit there.

01:03:02Like I said, Chloe...

01:03:03that's my seat.

01:03:05I had a rumor floating around a few days ago.

01:03:14Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene

01:03:16at a signing ceremony

01:03:18between her ex and Mr. Shepard.

01:03:21Wasn't it?

01:03:22Are you planning another outburst, Laura?

01:03:25Is this how you charm all your men?

01:03:27Shall we?

01:03:27My pleasure.

01:03:30What are you doing?

01:03:32Let go.

01:03:34It doesn't matter what happened.

01:03:35I choose to stay by Laura's side.

01:03:39Let's go.

01:03:41Don't be absurd.

01:03:42That seat is reserved for a very important guest.

01:03:46Someone so esteemed,

01:03:48even the vice presidents have to bow low.

01:03:52And...

01:03:53How exactly, Mr. Jones?

01:03:57Are you so sure that I'm

01:03:59not that esteemed guest?

01:04:02Wait, that's Peter Young,

01:04:03Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group.

01:04:09Ask Peter Young.

01:04:10He decides which investments are you.

01:04:12It's Chloe Duke,

01:04:13Head of Duke Industries.

01:04:14So glad you could join us.

01:04:16Why is everyone standing around?

01:04:17It's her.

01:04:18She's making a huge scene

01:04:20trying to claim the VIP seat.

01:04:22It's embarrassing.

01:04:23That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.

01:04:27Specifically, the family heir.

01:04:29Please get off the stage.

01:04:31Oh, yes.

01:04:32Mr. Young, was it?

01:04:35I think I remember you.

01:04:36You manage my family's investments.

01:04:40Don't pretend like you know what's going on.

01:04:43Please get off the stage.

01:04:45That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.

01:04:47I need to make one thing crystal clear.

01:04:51I am the heir of the Lewis family.

01:05:00I am the heir of the Lewis family.

01:05:00This is ridiculous.

01:05:04You, the Lewis heir.

01:05:06Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?

01:05:09You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.

01:05:12Exactly.

01:05:13We ran a background check on her

01:05:15and it turns out she's just some cleaner

01:05:17that used to work for the Harrison Group.

01:05:19Before that,

01:05:21I could see her in my family's supermarket.

01:05:23See, Brian?

01:05:24This is who you've been chasing after.

01:05:26A liar and a cheat.

01:05:28Security!

01:05:29Get this imposter out of here.

01:05:31And everyone here is a witness.

01:05:32Why would any of you trust Lauren?

01:05:36If any of you

01:05:37dares to harm her,

01:05:39you have to go through me first.

01:05:42Brian,

01:05:43she's just some nobody.

01:05:45She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.

01:05:48They didn't even want her.

01:05:50What exactly do you see in her?

01:05:52Escort this imposter out of here.

01:05:54Now!

01:05:55Oh, Peter.

01:06:03Peter,

01:06:04do you have any idea what you're doing?

01:06:07Mr. Yates,

01:06:08I'm so glad you could join us.

01:06:12Miss Lewis,

01:06:13sorry about the delay

01:06:14and for all the trouble you've had to put up with.

01:06:17It's no trouble, Mr. Yates.

01:06:20Luckily, I haven't been alone.

01:06:22I've had the great company

01:06:24of my very loyal

01:06:25friend.

01:06:28Wait a minute.

01:06:30She's Miss Lewis.

01:06:30Is this a joke?

01:06:32Mr. Young,

01:06:33you're new to the Lewis Group,

01:06:35so I can understand

01:06:37why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.

01:06:39But you listened to lies

01:06:41without checking the facts

01:06:42and almost called the police.

01:06:47Tell me,

01:06:48Mr. Young,

01:06:49who put you up to this?

01:06:51Was it my uncle,

01:06:52Ian Lewis?

01:06:56I knew it.

01:07:00Consider this your

01:07:01termination.

01:07:04I get it now.

01:07:05This is all an act.

01:07:07Right?

01:07:08Chloe, what are you doing?

01:07:09We still want to work with the Lewis family.

01:07:10Work with them?

01:07:11Are you blind?

01:07:12This woman is clearly having an affair

01:07:14with this old man.

01:07:16That's enough, young lady.

01:07:17You've got no right

01:07:18to disrespect the head

01:07:19of the Lewis Group.

01:07:20Woo!

01:07:22Oh, Chloe.

01:07:24I can't believe we're going

01:07:25through this again.

01:07:26I think you need

01:07:27some professional help.

01:07:29Maybe I could make you

01:07:30an appointment

01:07:31with a great psychiatrist.

01:07:32Chloe,

01:07:33that's enough.

01:07:34It's ridiculous.

01:07:35If you were really

01:07:36the Lewis family heir,

01:07:37you would have the ring.

01:07:38So why don't you

01:07:39show it to everyone?

01:07:40Show us the ring!

01:07:41Why don't you show that

01:07:45to everyone?

01:07:46Show us the ring!

01:07:47Show us the ring!

01:07:48Show us the ring!

01:07:49Who are you

01:07:50to make demands of me?

01:07:52I don't answer

01:07:53to anyone

01:07:54but myself.

01:07:56I don't need

01:07:57any

01:07:58of your validation.

01:08:02There's a ring!

01:08:03Vice Presidents,

01:08:08I'm Chloe Duke

01:08:10of the Duke family.

01:08:11This woman

01:08:12is an imposter.

01:08:13Miss Lewis,

01:08:14we apologise

01:08:15for the delay.

01:08:17How could you

01:08:17just let that con woman

01:08:18sit there?

01:08:19Get her out of here!

01:08:20This seat

01:08:21was always

01:08:22for Miss Lewis.

01:08:24She's the special guest

01:08:25we've been waiting for.

01:08:27The investment queen.

01:08:28The real heir

01:08:30to Lewis Group.

01:08:32Laura Lewis.

01:08:34She was a divorced

01:08:34hostwife.

01:08:35A janitor.

01:08:36How can she?

01:08:37She can't be.

01:08:38It's a lie,

01:08:38I'm telling you.

01:08:39It's a lie.

01:08:40Do you think

01:08:41we'd lie?

01:08:42We run Lewis Group.

01:08:44Oh, Chloe.

01:08:46You assaulted me

01:08:48earlier.

01:08:49And you came

01:08:50to this meeting

01:08:51to what?

01:08:52Sabotage it.

01:08:54You'll be hearing

01:08:55from our legal team.

01:08:58Is this true,

01:09:00Miss Duke?

01:09:01Did you try

01:09:01and sabotage

01:09:02this meeting?

01:09:04Yes.

01:09:05It's all true.

01:09:06She fooled us all.

01:09:08The Duke tricked us

01:09:09to keep

01:09:09Lewis Group

01:09:10out of Maplewood

01:09:11and control

01:09:12everything themselves.

01:09:13I had no idea.

01:09:15But I'm on your side.

01:09:17I can give you

01:09:18everything you need.

01:09:20All the resources

01:09:21in Maplewood.

01:09:22Miss Lewis,

01:09:23how would you like us

01:09:24to deal with this?

01:09:26An eye

01:09:27for an eye.

01:09:28Since

01:09:31Miss Duke

01:09:33here

01:09:33loves

01:09:35ruining things,

01:09:37I'll target

01:09:38her precious

01:09:39Duke

01:09:40Industries.

01:09:42I want them

01:09:43bankrupt

01:09:43in ten minutes.

01:09:45You're bluffing.

01:09:47You're nobody.

01:09:48You'll always be

01:09:49a nobody.

01:09:50And you can't

01:09:50touch me.

01:09:51Then

01:09:52consider this

01:09:53a test,

01:09:55Chloe.

01:09:55I didn't need

01:09:56my family's support

01:09:58with Shepard

01:09:58and I certainly

01:09:59don't need it now.

01:10:00Chloe,

01:10:01you dug your own grave.

01:10:03You think

01:10:04you can destroy

01:10:05Maplewood's leading

01:10:06family with just

01:10:07the Shepard group?

01:10:09Please.

01:10:09we'll see.

01:10:18Dad?

01:10:19Slow down!

01:10:20What are you

01:10:21talking about?

01:10:22No,

01:10:24it's impossible.

01:10:27Chloe,

01:10:28what have you done?

01:10:30Years of hard work,

01:10:31destroyed in minutes.

01:10:32What did you do?

01:10:38Well,

01:10:39Chloe,

01:10:40isn't this

01:10:41what you wanted?

01:10:42To give me

01:10:43a little taste

01:10:44of destruction?

01:10:45This is,

01:10:45this is impossible.

01:10:47It's impossible!

01:10:49Chloe,

01:10:50what have you done?

01:10:52The news is everywhere.

01:10:54Shepard's launched

01:10:54a full-scale assault

01:10:55on the stock market.

01:10:57They're hammering

01:10:58our shares.

01:10:59Are you sure

01:11:00it's just Shepard's?

01:11:01Yes!

01:11:02Shareholders

01:11:02are dumping

01:11:03our stock

01:11:04like it's a hot potato.

01:11:06We could go bankrupt.

01:11:08You've ruined everything!

01:11:09Don't worry,

01:11:10Mr. Duke.

01:11:10When your company

01:11:12does go bankrupt,

01:11:13I'll buy it

01:11:14at a fire sale price.

01:11:16Your employees

01:11:17won't even be affected.

01:11:18Brilliant!

01:11:19A masterstroke,

01:11:21Ms. Lewis.

01:11:22Now,

01:11:23this

01:11:24is my event.

01:11:27Please leave.

01:11:28Ryan,

01:11:28I did this for us!

01:11:30Everything I did,

01:11:31I did for us,

01:11:32Brian!

01:11:35Chloe,

01:11:35you need help.

01:11:38These feelings

01:11:39you have for me,

01:11:40it's not love.

01:11:43It's obsession.

01:11:44Enough!

01:11:46If you don't want to ruin

01:11:47everything completely,

01:11:48you'll come with me

01:11:49right now.

01:11:51No!

01:11:52Right now!

01:11:53No!

01:11:54No!

01:11:55No!

01:11:56No!

01:11:57No!

01:11:58No!

01:11:59No!

01:12:00No!

01:12:01No!

01:12:02No!

01:12:03No!

01:12:04No!

01:12:05No!

01:12:06No!

01:12:07No!

01:12:08No!

01:12:09No!

01:12:10What is going on here?

01:12:11Did they finally expose Laura's lies?

01:12:13Shepard Group.

01:12:14They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group for Maplewood.

01:12:18They're handling all future construction projects.

01:12:20That can't be.

01:12:22What about us?

01:12:23That was our project.

01:12:24Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.

01:12:26Harrison Group is practically out.

01:12:28We have no chance.

01:12:29We can't give up that easily.

01:12:32Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager.

01:12:36In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.

01:12:39You're right.

01:12:40If we can just meet with a new heir, we can bypass the Shepards and meet directly with

01:12:45the Lewis Group.

01:12:46We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.

01:12:49That's right.

01:12:50Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.

01:12:59I'm sure I've mentioned him before.

01:13:02Mr. Shepard, it's finally a pleasure to meet you.

01:13:05We've looked into your company's financial review.

01:13:09Very impressive.

01:13:11Thank you, bud.

01:13:12A large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.

01:13:17She practically saved me from disaster.

01:13:20Three times over now.

01:13:21Brian, you can just call me Laura.

01:13:24Ms. Lewis's recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.

01:13:29Perhaps today clarifies everything.

01:13:31Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is golden.

01:13:35Seize it.

01:13:37A woman like Laura is not easy to find.

01:13:40Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.

01:13:47Did Laura send you to kill me?

01:13:53Laura?

01:13:54Hardly.

01:13:55I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.

01:14:02So you're Laura's uncle?

01:14:04In the flesh.

01:14:06So Laura really is your niece?

01:14:08Yes.

01:14:09Little Laura.

01:14:10She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.

01:14:14Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.

01:14:17I think he was a Harrison.

01:14:19Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side.

01:14:22Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?

01:14:26And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?

01:14:29If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?

01:14:33Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Miss Duke.

01:14:37We need you to relinquish my ring.

01:14:41What if I, what if I fail?

01:14:43My family is already ruined.

01:14:45Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say.

01:14:48But, if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family

01:14:53will get back everything you've lost.

01:14:56Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side.

01:14:58How can I possibly get the ring?

01:15:00There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish

01:15:05and give up that ring willingly.

01:15:10Laura, my dear, welcome.

01:15:12Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.

01:15:19Laura.

01:15:20It's so good to see you.

01:15:21And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps.

01:15:26How have you been?

01:15:27I've been well, Uncle Ian.

01:15:30Thank you for asking.

01:15:31I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.

01:15:35Yes.

01:15:36Kinda been easy.

01:15:37Indeed.

01:15:38Somebody had to.

01:15:39I mean, after you left me with everything to do,

01:15:41without a safe pair of hands, I hate to think it would have happened to the company.

01:15:46Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard,

01:15:49you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.

01:15:54Yes.

01:15:55Minor mistakes.

01:15:56Minor.

01:15:57Minor.

01:15:58Don't worry, Uncle Ian.

01:15:59I won't hold it against you.

01:16:01Good.

01:16:02Well, cheers to you coming back here and the Lewis Group.

01:16:08Oh!

01:16:09I'm so sorry, Laura.

01:16:13How clumsy of me.

01:16:14Uh, no, no worries, Uncle Ian.

01:16:17I...

01:16:18I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.

01:16:21Um...

01:16:22Of course.

01:16:23Right away.

01:16:24Just down to the left.

01:16:25Use it wisely.

01:16:32Oh, I will.

01:16:48Hey, Laura.

01:16:49How's that?

01:16:50Hello, Brian.

01:16:51Your little girlfriend is with me now.

01:16:53Chloe.

01:16:55How in the hell did you get Laura's home?

01:16:58Let's just say that I have my ways.

01:17:01Listen, Chloe.

01:17:03Don't hurt her.

01:17:04Please.

01:17:06I'll do anything.

01:17:09Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs.

01:17:12Now.

01:17:14Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.

01:17:19Well, you certainly do have your ways.

01:17:25Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up.

01:17:27I am sorry.

01:17:28How clumsy.

01:17:29And don't forget your phone.

01:17:30I retrieved it for you.

01:17:31Oh.

01:17:33Love going again.

01:17:34Lovely to see you again.

01:17:35Yeah.

01:17:36I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.

01:17:39At the banquet.

01:17:42I'll see you then.

01:17:43Will do.

01:17:44Looking forward to it.

01:17:48Laura!

01:17:49Laura!

01:17:50Where are you?

01:17:51Laura!

01:17:53Laura!

01:17:54Where are you?

01:17:56Laura!

01:17:57Laura, where are you?

01:17:59Laura!

01:18:00Laura!

01:18:01Laura!

01:18:02Go shut your mouth!

01:18:03Chloe!

01:18:04I want to have your...

01:18:05you wasn't expecting that, were you?

01:18:07What the?

01:18:08Laura!

01:18:09Where are you?

01:18:10Laura!

01:18:11Laura!

01:18:12Go shut your mouth!

01:18:13Chloe!

01:18:14You're left alone.

01:18:15Okay.

01:18:16How are you doing?

01:18:17You're RIGHT!

01:18:18You're right.

01:18:19I'm right.

01:18:20I'm right alone.

01:18:21I'm right.

01:18:22I'm right.

01:18:23And, I'm right.

01:18:24I'm right.

01:18:25Go shut your mouth.

01:18:27Chloe, what have you done?

01:18:30You out of your mind?

01:18:32Out of my mind!

01:18:33You're the one that left me for that tramp and destroyed my life!

01:18:37That's not true. You're the one who messed up!

01:18:39Brian!

01:18:41Laura!

01:18:43Stay where you are.

01:18:45You better not come alone.

01:18:47Drop this knife, Chloe. This is insane!

01:18:51Insane? I did this for us, Brian!

01:18:54We were meant to be together.

01:18:56Oh my god. Us? You've gone crazy!

01:19:00Let me out of here!

01:19:02Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious offence.

01:19:06They're gonna lock you up for years!

01:19:08You think I care about jail time?

01:19:11All I care about is tearing you two apart.

01:19:14You don't deserve him.

01:19:16What you've done...

01:19:18You've destroyed my life, my company, everything!

01:19:22Now I'm gonna destroy your life!

01:19:25Give me the family ring now!

01:19:28Give it to me!

01:19:30This is about the ring.

01:19:32Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?

01:19:36You know, Chloe, trying to kill me, that's foolish.

01:19:42Because who do you think is gonna win?

01:19:44You, that little knife, or...

01:19:48Me, with something a little bit more persuasive.

01:19:52Freeze!

01:19:54Don't move anyone!

01:19:56Don't move!

01:19:58You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.

01:20:00Miss Lewis, having fun without me?

01:20:02I'm hurt.

01:20:04Are you hurt?

01:20:06No, I'm okay.

01:20:07I'm okay.

01:20:08I'm okay.

01:20:09Tell me, Chloe.

01:20:10Who put you up to this, Chloe?

01:20:12Why should I tell you?

01:20:13You're gonna kill me anyway!

01:20:14Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.

01:20:16Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.

01:20:17But if you don't talk, your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.

01:20:23Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.

01:20:25So the choice is yours, Chloe.

01:20:26Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.

01:20:28But if you don't talk, your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.

01:20:32You know me?

01:20:33I don't have a problem with you.

01:20:34Following?

01:20:35But if you don't talk, your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.

01:20:40Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.

01:20:43So the choice is yours, Chloe.

01:20:46Talk, or face the consequences.

01:20:49Fine.

01:20:51It was Ian Lewis.

01:20:52He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the banker today.

01:20:58Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?

01:21:00I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.

01:21:01You're recording everything, Ms. Lewis.

01:21:05Oh, every word, Ms. Lewis.

01:21:08Are you ready to play a game, Brian?

01:21:20This is crazy.

01:21:22Are we really sure we can do this? All these big companies here, it's crazy.

01:21:26Absolutely. The Lewis Group is under new leadership. We can talk to the heiress herself.

01:21:31Exactly. We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.

01:21:35There's Ian Lewis now. You can introduce us. Let's go.

01:21:38Yeah.

01:21:41Hello, Ian Lewis. I'm Amber Smith. We spoke on the phone the other day.

01:21:45This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.

01:21:47How do you do?

01:21:48We're the company that-

01:21:49Yes, I know who you are.

01:21:51Ms. Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.

01:21:55Now look, I'm not here for idle chatter.

01:22:01Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Could I ask you all to be seated, please?

01:22:07The moment you've all been waiting for.

01:22:10Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.

01:22:14A night where the rightful heir takes their place.

01:22:17Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group, Ms. Laura Lewis.

01:22:22Look, everybody, attention. Attention, please.

01:22:27There's been a recent development of some tragedy.

01:22:33I just got notice from a phone call a couple of minutes ago that Laura has been in a car accident.

01:22:40And tragically, she hasn't made it. She has not survived.

01:22:44What? Laura Lewis? Is this dead?

01:22:50It doesn't matter now. She's gone.

01:22:53Mr. Lewis, is this new-

01:22:54A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.

01:22:57But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.

01:23:02Hold on! Who said that I'm dead?

01:23:06Laura!

01:23:08Laura!

01:23:13I don't understand.

01:23:15What's happening?

01:23:17Laura? But weren't you-

01:23:19My apologies for the delay, everyone.

01:23:23There seems to be some...

01:23:25misunderstanding.

01:23:26Laura, what are you doing here?

01:23:28You've got to stop this. If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.

01:23:31I say this once. Back off then.

01:23:34That's it.

01:23:38Thank you for coming, everyone.

01:23:42As I'm sure you know, tonight I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.

01:23:53Perhaps you could make some room for me, Uncle Ian.

01:23:58Impossible. How are you still alive?

01:24:01Well, clearly I am alive and well, so why don't we get this started?

01:24:05No. You're not the rightful heir.

01:24:09You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.

01:24:13Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument that you have that I got married too quickly?

01:24:18Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger and left me to work tirelessly, keeping the company together.

01:24:26Uncle Ian, retire. Enjoy your retirement.

01:24:29Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.

01:24:33No. There can only be one heir, and that's me. And the rightful heir has possession of this.

01:24:42You think a ring makes an heir? You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.

01:24:47Give that back to me.

01:24:50This.

01:24:51Yes.

01:24:52You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?

01:24:56Give it back.

01:24:58True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you, not some stupid ring.

01:25:05My ring? What have you done? Where is it?

01:25:12My ring?

01:25:14Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.

01:25:17How dare you!

01:25:19Now, let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.

01:25:23Talk, or face the consequences.

01:25:28Fine. It was Ian Lewis. He said he helped your industry if I kept you away from the bankers today.

01:25:38Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr. Lewis.

01:25:41Security, escort him out.

01:25:44And Ian, don't fall over.

01:25:46It's all lies. It's all lies. Fakery. It's fake news.

01:25:49The proof is clear. Get him out of here. Now.

01:25:54I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.

01:26:00Turns out, reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.

01:26:06Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr. Shepherd by my side.

01:26:13And he has been a great support.

01:26:17Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.

01:26:24I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.

01:26:31Shepherd Group.

01:26:33What? Laura, hold on.

01:26:35This was never my idea. This was all Kathy and Amber's fault.

01:26:38I don't want a divorce.

01:26:40What? Then what are you saying? You came to me first.

01:26:42You came to me first.

01:26:43Classic Ben.

01:26:45Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.

01:26:50Just don't shut Harrison Group out. Just give me another chance.

01:26:54How could I shut you out?

01:26:55I'm just a cleaner. Remember? I'm just a useless housewife. I don't have that power.

01:27:04What are you talking about? What? No, come on. Sorry. No, please. No.

01:27:06Um, Mr. Shepherd?

01:27:11Yes, Miss Lewis?

01:27:13I was wondering if...

01:27:16Maybe you wanted to grab dinner.

01:27:18Sometime.

01:27:21On me.

01:27:23Miss Lewis.

01:27:27I would love to.

01:27:36Hi.

01:27:38Excuse me.

01:27:54Then we will...

01:27:56Hear, hear.

01:28:01Is that Rumor?
