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

00:12:22Jason, give it back to Miss Lewis.
00:12:24Hey, what are you doing?
00:12:28Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:12:30Now.
00:12:31Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:12:32Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?
00:12:35It's alright, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:12:38All brown dead bodies.
00:12:40You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on.
00:12:43We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:12:46Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. Now go back.
00:12:50What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie!
00:12:54That's a lie!
00:12:55Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura!
00:12:57You come back here and explain yourself!
00:12:59Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!

00:14:05I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:14:08Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:14:10I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:14:12Ben Harrison.
00:14:13You're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:14:25After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:14:31Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:14:33All right.
00:14:35Laura, what are you doing here?
00:14:37Security!
00:14:38Get that woman out of here!
00:14:39We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:14:42Why wouldn't I be here?
00:14:43This is a business event, after all.

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