00:00:00Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:10What the hell is going on here?
00:00:13Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:16Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do.
00:00:21Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:25They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:29Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:35Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunch time.
00:00:45Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:46Mr. Jackson, excuse me ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:00:50Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.
00:00:57But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
00:01:05Do I know you?
00:01:09Wait, what are you doing?
00:01:12What are you doing?
00:01:13You can't do this, you're just a cleaner.
00:01:15You can't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:17This is incredible!
00:01:19What's going on?
00:01:21The shirting is him.
00:01:23It's failing!
00:01:24The price is holding!
00:01:27Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:33We met before.
00:01:35They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:37Hold on.
00:01:38Tell me.
00:01:39How could I ever repay for this?
00:01:42If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:51Jason, can we have five now?
00:02:01What are you doing?
00:02:05Mr. Yates!
00:02:10What, only two bodyguards this time?
00:02:14You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:16No ma'am, I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:02:20Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:25Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:29Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:35Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:41Ma'am, it really is time for you to set your inheritance.
00:02:45Because what I want is a simple life, with Ben.
00:02:50Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you onto the house, for my sake.
00:03:05Uh, divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:16Why?
00:03:17You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:19The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now.
00:03:22Especially since it's landed a $100 million contract with the 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.
00:03:37I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:40You, a cleaning woman, handing out million-dollar deals.
00:03:45Don't make me laugh.
00:03:47I did! It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:53Hey, I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:57What are you doing here?
00:03:59Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:03Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:06Local royalty? A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:11And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:04:14Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it, Ben?
00:04:20What's going on?
00:04:24Is 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.
00:04:34Growing apart?
00:04:37No.
00:04:39No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:45I won't sign.
00:04:47Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:51Ben.
00:04:52Alright.
00:04:53Here.
00:04:54A hundred thousand dollars.
00:04:56Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:58A hundred thousand dollars?
00:05:00I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:06Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:09Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:10You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:13This is our act of charity to work.
00:05:16Here.
00:05:17A million dollars.
00:05:18Take this.
00:05:19You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:21Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:24I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this since none of you respect me.
00:05:34A cleaning lady.
00:05:36Threatening us.
00:05:37I'm so scared.
00:05:39Just leave.
00:05:40You already make this house stink.
00:05:50Make sure she's gone.
00:05:51Go to written store.
00:05:52Sir.
00:05:53Laura Lewis's information.
00:05:54She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:05:55No wonder why she wants to partner with him.
00:05:56Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:05:57Divorced her?
00:05:58Wait a minute.
00:05:59Don't you remember?
00:06:00She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:03Yeah.
00:06:04I'm sorry.
00:06:05I'm sorry.
00:06:06I'm sorry.
00:06:07I'm sorry.
00:06:08I'm sorry.
00:06:09I'm sorry.
00:06:10I'm sorry.
00:06:11I'm sorry.
00:06:12I'm sorry.
00:06:13I'm sorry.
00:06:14I'm sorry.
00:06:15I'm sorry.
00:06:16I'm sorry.
00:06:17I'm sorry.
00:06:18I'm sorry.
00:06:19I'm sorry.
00:06:20She wrote it a few years ago.
00:06:21Yeah.
00:06:22She's saved our hiding now.
00:06:23Remember?
00:06:24Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a $100 million contract?
00:06:30Oh.
00:06:31Let's get to the vinyl news.
00:06:37Hey!
00:06:38What are you doing?
00:06:39Let go of me!
00:06:40You attacked Amber!
00:06:41I apologize this instant!
00:06:45I was stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:48I gave you a generous divorce settlement, you refused it, and now you're stealing!
00:06:52She couldn't afford it. You're a thief!
00:07:01That's mine! Give it back!
00:07:03That's enough!
00:07:07Maura, I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:11It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:17You see, it's... Who are you?
00:07:20Boar's new squeeze.
00:07:22Excuse me, do you know who I am?
00:07:24Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son? Shame on you!
00:07:29Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:30For your information, my name is Brian Shepard. I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:36Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:40You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:43That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:48That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that. My ring.
00:07:52Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:07:54Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:58Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.
00:08:01Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:06It's a lie, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:08:09Oh, brown dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on.
00:08:14We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:17Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. Now go back.
00:08:21What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie!
00:08:25Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura. You come back here and explain yourself.
00:08:29Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!
00:08:34Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:40Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:44I don't feel good about going through the signing event. After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:51No! Um, no. The event will proceed. Besides, I'll be there.
00:09:01There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura. Who are you, truly?
00:09:06You'll find out, Mr. Shepard. Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:12Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners and we're going to have a meeting.
00:09:24An investment meeting. One week from today. Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:33Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:39Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis. I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:44Ben, Harrison, you're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:57After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:02Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:06Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:08Security! Get that woman out of here! We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:10:13Why wouldn't I be here? This is a business event, after all.
00:10:17Business? You wouldn't know business if it hit you on the head.
00:10:21A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey. Just get out!
00:10:25Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:28You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:30Oh, Ben. Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:35Oh, Laura, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:39You don't belong here. Just get out!
00:10:44That's what you get.
00:10:54This contract is mine. To give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:01Don't be ridiculous! This is insane! Who do you think you are?
00:11:04Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:07Security! She's lost a mind! This is a disaster!
00:11:11Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you.
00:11:15But since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:45You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:47You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:49Oh, please, honey. You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:53Security! Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:57I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:12:00And after careful consideration,
00:12:04I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:12:08You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:12:13You have no authority here.
00:12:15Of course she has the authority.
00:12:23That's the man that Laura went with the other day. What is he doing here?
00:12:26Mr. Shepard? How does he know her?
00:12:28Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:31Laura, are you alright?
00:12:34Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.
00:12:37There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:40There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:42This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.
00:12:46Effective immediately.
00:12:50Wait a minute. This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:53It's her. She ruined the contract.
00:12:56You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:58An affair? She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:13:03Mom, please, it's okay. This man is...
00:13:05Don't touch me!
00:13:07That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair and you just stand there?
00:13:12You're a disgrace.
00:13:13An adulterer.
00:13:14You deserve to be ar-
00:13:15Shut up!
00:13:19Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess.
00:13:22But I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:13:25Tricked?
00:13:26Why don't you answer a question yourself, then?
00:13:31What was my name before we got married?
00:13:35Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:37Lewis group? The financial giants?
00:13:40There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:44That's crazy. There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name. That's absurd.
00:13:49It's... it's... it's... it's absurd!
00:13:54A high society heirs wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:13:58Yeah, yeah, it's a lie. It's a lie. This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:14:02In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:14:06She's nothing special. She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:09I was just a waitress. How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:14First time I met her, she was in need of waitress at the diner.
00:14:17Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:14:19When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:22Mm-hmm. Now look at me.
00:14:24I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:26And look at her. Still just a clear.
00:14:29Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:33She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:35She's lying, Mr. Shepard.
00:14:37She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:40Let's make something clear.
00:14:44I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:48I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:55Don't lie. You were never good enough for Ben when you married him. Oops.
00:15:00That roof was built with lies. Cathy, you never respected me.
00:15:04And Ben? Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:10And the cheating.
00:15:12I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:15:15You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:15:20If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Cathy.
00:15:26Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:29From everything.
00:15:32Wait, wait, wait, wait. Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:40And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:42I don't think so. You're a cleaner. You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:46Nobody cares about you.
00:15:48Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:51I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
00:16:01I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding. I think all jobs are important, right, Mom?
00:16:06Ben, what are you doing?
00:16:08But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:16:13A janitor.
00:16:15Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:23You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:29Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie. This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:35I...but, well...
00:16:38A lie, you're saying?
00:16:40Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:16:44But I don't recognize you.
00:16:46Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:50Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:53This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:57But the contract...I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:17:00So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:05Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:08Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis' involvement.
00:17:12I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:18Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:21Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:29Miss Smith, you lied to us!
00:17:31You destroyed everything!
00:17:32What?
00:17:34No, it's a misunderstanding!
00:17:35I can explain!
00:17:37Lewis?
00:17:38Lewis Family Group?
00:17:40This can't be!
00:17:42Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:44Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:48Three of our Vice Presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:52In Maplewood.
00:17:53And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:17:59Everyone, listen to me!
00:18:02Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
00:18:06A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:13The charade is sober, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:16Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:21Miss Lewis?
00:18:23Shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:30Help!
00:18:31Help!
00:18:32Mom!
00:18:33Someone get a doctor!
00:18:34Mom!
00:18:35It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:40Indeed.
00:18:42Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:44What?
00:18:56What now?
00:18:58Mom, this is not all on me.
00:19:00Not on you!
00:19:02I was trying to help.
00:19:04She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:19:06Flaunted their affair.
00:19:08Exactly.
00:19:09And those dresses?
00:19:11Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:19:13Miss Smith, how could you do this?
00:19:16We trusted you completely.
00:19:18No, no.
00:19:20I got Ben the deal.
00:19:22I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.
00:19:25She's a liar!
00:19:27Stop it, Amber.
00:19:28You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:19:30Lied?
00:19:32You're on my side.
00:19:34And anyways, I have a plan.
00:19:36The Shepards are no one special.
00:19:38We can expose Laura in all her lies.
00:19:41Go national.
00:19:42We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:45Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to you.
00:19:49Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:19:50Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:19:51It's alright, Laura.
00:19:52You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:19:53Can I ask you something?
00:19:54Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:19:55Maybe a hotel?
00:19:56Don't...
00:19:57Don't...
00:19:58Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:19:59I'll be fine.
00:20:00Um...
00:20:01Excuse me, you can just drop me off.
00:20:02Just...
00:20:03Actually, Laura.
00:20:04Actually, Laura.
00:20:05Actually, Laura.
00:20:06There is something else.
00:20:07Would you consider going out for dinner sometime?
00:20:08Just casually, of course.
00:20:09Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:20:10Please, call me Brian.
00:20:11And yes.
00:20:12Technically, you're single now.
00:20:13Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly...
00:20:43Proper.
00:20:45Proper?
00:20:47Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:20:52Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:20:56Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:20:59So what do you say?
00:21:01Dinner?
00:21:03Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:06I'm sorry, Mr. Shepherd.
00:21:11I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't.
00:21:15Wait, Laura.
00:21:16Just here is fine.
00:21:20Laura?
00:21:25Laura, who is it?
00:21:27Laura, wait!
00:21:29Jason, find out who owns that car and do it fast.
00:21:36Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:21:43It's Amber Smith.
00:21:45Mr. Lewis, I'm sorry for the late call,
00:21:48but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:51I don't know who you are, Miss Smith.
00:21:54How did you get this number?
00:21:56Don't worry about that right now.
00:21:58I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:22:01Someone I know very well.
00:22:04Impersonating my niece.
00:22:07And where is this fake Laura?
00:22:10Right here in Maplewood.
00:22:12And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:15Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:22:19And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:22:23In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:22:28I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:22:31All will be revealed then.
00:22:33Very well.
00:22:34I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.
00:22:37But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:22:41It won't be.
00:22:42Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:22:43Thank you, Mr.
00:22:45That little rascal, Laura.
00:22:54I wonder what she's up to now.
00:23:00That car belongs to Mr. Yeats.
00:23:02The Lewis family bubler.
00:23:04That's interesting.
00:23:05Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:23:06I'm not sure.
00:23:07Brian!
00:23:08There you are.
00:23:09I've missed you.
00:23:10Chloe.
00:23:11What are you up to?
00:23:12Chloe.
00:23:13What are you doing here?
00:23:14What do you mean?
00:23:15Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:16We ended things for a reason.
00:23:18It was just one teensy mistake.
00:23:39I was, I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:41Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:43Teensy mistake?
00:23:44You're cheating on me.
00:23:45Is this your new fling? Ex-divorcey. Used a clean floor. It's quite the catch, you say.
00:23:53Look, my relationship with her is none of your business. And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:24:00Please. An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman. It's a classic story.
00:24:08That's enough. I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:24:11You want to be careful, Brian. Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:16If you want Shepard Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.
00:24:24Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's Secrets now.
00:24:33This is it. The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.
00:24:37Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:42I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:46Well, well, well. Look who it is. What a surprise.
00:24:50Did Brian teach you already? That's none of your business.
00:24:56Now, move aside, please.
00:24:57Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
00:25:01You really think you can just ruin my events again? Haven't you ruined my life enough? Don't you have any shame?
00:25:06If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:25:10Oh, the nurse. After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?
00:25:16Seriously? I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:21Oh, that's gold. You really think that they're gonna let you in, Laura? Please, you're no one compared to me.
00:25:28You don't deserve to be here.
00:25:30The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:25:35And you, idiot, believing every lie that she tells you. Wake up, Ben.
00:25:40Oh, Laura! Laura, come on. Why do you always pull this on me?
00:25:45I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:25:49I know what this is.
00:25:52So stupid.
00:25:53Oh, such a trap. Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:25:57He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:26:01Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.
00:26:05And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:26:08Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this?
00:26:18Oh, that's rich.
00:26:20You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.
00:26:23I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.
00:26:27Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?
00:26:30You mean my uncle?
00:26:33Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:34Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:26:39And besides, this looks fake.
00:26:43She's a liar.
00:26:45This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:50It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.
00:26:55She's lying. They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:26:58Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?
00:27:02Not that I know of.
00:27:04See? She's lying.
00:27:06There you have it, Laura.
00:27:07Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:27:09Go on, get lost before things get worse.
00:27:12Here, take this one.
00:27:13Lead me to the vice presidents.
00:27:15You have no idea what you just did.
00:27:26There be consequences.
00:27:30Besides, 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?
00:27:41Security! Security! We need this woman removed immediately. She is harassing me.
00:27:46We're done with your games, Laura. You're just a fraud.
00:27:49Man, please move me.
00:27:50What?
00:27:51Hold on!
00:27:54Brian Shepard?
00:27:56You think money buys you the right to walk all over people? Well, it doesn't.
00:28:00Yeah. Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?
00:28:03What other plans do you have to destroy this town?
00:28:05Get you out?
00:28:07After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.
00:28:10Don't play dumb.
00:28:12We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:28:13How long has this little affair been going on?
00:28:16You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.
00:28:19Hold on a second. An affair?
00:28:22You think Laura and I?
00:28:24You people are unbelievable.
00:28:28Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP. We have a situation.
00:28:32What, you think you can just boss the manager around now? Is that it?
00:28:36Well, stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:39Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay. How can I help you this evening?
00:28:43Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:46It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:49These people don't think that I belong here.
00:28:52Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:56A cleaner? Nonsense.
00:28:57I personally agreed to Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:29:01Exactly.
00:29:03Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:10I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:29:14No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.
00:29:19She's been this way since my son divorced her. She's insane.
00:29:22Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.
00:29:25She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.
00:29:30No! It's a lie! Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too!
00:29:37You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.
00:29:43Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?
00:29:47Wait, is that why you're covering for her? Huh? Because of the affair? Because she slept with you?
00:29:52Excuse me, who are you and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:29:56Enough of this! She's right!
00:29:57That's enough. Have you embarrassed yourself enough?
00:30:00This is Lewis Group property. Behave or I'll call security.
00:30:04But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access! She shouldn't be here.
00:30:09Since you're having trouble understanding them, let me make it clear.
00:30:13This hotel is owned by the Lewis family. It's mine to come or go as I please.
00:30:25Thank you for stepping in, Brian. I owe you one. We'll talk about this later.
00:30:32Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harris.
00:30:37Excuse me, Vice Presidents. I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.
00:30:54I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today?
00:30:57Maplewood Branch. Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Miss Smith.
00:31:03Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:31:07Ian Lewis... Mr. Lewis reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:31:17Expansion plans? Miss Smith? A decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:31:24And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.
00:31:28But Ian Lewis assured me that...
00:31:31Miss Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.
00:31:35Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff?
00:31:38Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...
00:31:41Miss Smith, we'd like you to leave. If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:49Hey, stop there. This elevator is a VIP only. Back, please.
00:31:55Of course. My apologies.
00:31:57Please?
00:32:03Laura?
00:32:07Vice Presidents! It's so good to see all of you again.
00:32:11Miss Lewis, it's been too long.
00:32:14Your return is a lifesaver, Miss Lewis. The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:32:22The board are begging you to come back, Miss Lewis.
00:32:27Well, please sit. Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.
00:32:34We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.
00:32:38Local powerhouses and smaller players, too. They'll all be there in one spot.
00:32:45Miss Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith. She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.
00:32:56She said that, did she? Well, Miss Smith is a liar. There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:33:04Well, she lied so blatantly. It was, it's unbelievable.
00:33:07But, don't worry. I found a much more suitable partner.
00:33:11Shepard Group. Shepard Group? Their rise to a public company has been impressive. Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:22So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:33:27Oh, don't worry about Amber. I've got plans for her.
00:33:32Miss Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the legend from us.
00:33:44Cheers. Cheers.
00:33:55No, I'm not leaving. What are you talking about? No, come on.
00:33:58Wait! I'm Amber Smith. I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch.
00:34:01What are you doing? These are my guests.
00:34:03Yeah, that's right. Tell them who we are.
00:34:05Yes, we were waiting for Miss Smith.
00:34:09Lewis Group, Maplewood branch? No such thing, ma'am. And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:34:15Of course. Laura! She's probably sleeping with the manager as well. That's how she gets away with everything.
00:34:22You underestimate her, Cathy. She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.
00:34:27No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:34:29Careful with your words. Both of you. Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:38Look who can't even get into a meeting.
00:34:40Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.
00:34:43And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:34:47Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:34:50Used me? Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:53You're so stupid. She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:34:58Don't worry, Brian. You deserve better. And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group, appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:35:09New branch manager, huh? Interesting.
00:35:14Laura Lewis? What are you doing here? Get out of here!
00:35:17You claim to be the mystery guest.
00:35:20Don't play games, Laura. I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:35:26Only the top companies get those. Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:35:31Is that so?
00:35:33Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:35:38You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.
00:35:43And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:35:48Escort them out. Their visit is over.
00:35:51Oh, come on. This way, please.
00:35:54I'm not leaving.
00:35:56Move. We're not leaving again. Move.
00:35:58Oh, no, no, no. We're not going now.
00:36:01This isn't over, Laura. You'll see.
00:36:06Thanks for waiting, bud.
00:36:09Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:13And thank you for defending me. I really appreciate it.
00:36:21Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:25Yes, but it's going to be tricky.
00:36:31Why? I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:36:37Yes, Laura.
00:36:40There's something you should know.
00:36:43Is this about Ben?
00:36:46Ben, because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems. He won't even get past security.
00:36:52Laura, it's not Ben.
00:36:56It's someone else.
00:36:59Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:37:01Yes.
00:37:04Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:37:08She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:37:12She's my ex-fiancee.
00:37:15And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:37:21And, let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:37:27And, for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.
00:37:32And, you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting for...
00:37:41Out of jealousy?
00:37:46There's a possibility. She's kind of jealous.
00:37:49Well, all the more reason for you to be there.
00:37:56Besides, I'll be there too.
00:38:01It's Laura.
00:38:04Would you consider being a guest at the meeting?
00:38:08What?
00:38:09Are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too?
00:38:13Maybe a little.
00:38:14But, mostly, I want to show them we're team.
00:38:18Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.
00:38:24Laura.
00:38:29I don't care about your past.
00:38:31I just want to be by your side.
00:38:33I think I'm falling for you.
00:38:39Ryan.
00:38:45I appreciate your honesty and...
00:38:49Right now, I'm just not...
00:38:52I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:38:56Just with everything going on...
00:38:58And going on...
00:38:59It's okay.
00:39:01I just want her to be on the front.
00:39:04And if Chloe tries anything, you won't face her alone.
00:39:08There's just one thing I do need.
00:39:15What is it?
00:39:18A formal dress.
00:39:19Uh, security!
00:39:33She doesn't belong here.
00:39:34This is a private store.
00:39:36Excuse me.
00:39:38We need some assistance.
00:39:39I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:39:44Wow.
00:39:46It's beautiful.
00:39:47It is.
00:39:48I'll try this one off.
00:39:50Don't bother with her.
00:39:51She can't afford anything here.
00:39:53She's just a cleaner.
00:39:54She doesn't deserve to shop you.
00:39:56She has no money.
00:39:59Yeah, exactly.
00:40:00I mean, what are you doing here?
00:40:02Can't you just leave me alone?
00:40:03I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared.
00:40:06I'm here for retail therapy.
00:40:09Oh, please.
00:40:10This store's for the A-list only.
00:40:12Not some cheapskate like you.
00:40:14Says the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:40:17Hey, show some respect.
00:40:19Typical Laura.
00:40:21Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.
00:40:24I would have asked you, but without me, I'm sure you're already broke.
00:40:28Oh, please. Come on, we'll take the dress.
00:40:30Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:40:33Uh, what do you mean you don't sell it?
00:40:36I want it.
00:40:37Name your price.
00:40:38It's not about the price, ma'am.
00:40:40This one was custom made for Miss Lewis.
00:40:42The Lewis Group heiress.
00:40:43The entire brand belongs to her.
00:40:45This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.
00:40:50It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:40:52What are you talking about?
00:40:53Of course it would suit her.
00:40:54It would fit her just fine.
00:40:56And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:40:59Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.
00:41:08Oh, please.
00:41:09Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?
00:41:11We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:41:13Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.
00:41:16You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:41:19Could you please tell me more about this dress?
00:41:22Of course.
00:41:23Uh, it was custom made for Laura Lewis,
00:41:26heiress to the Lewis Group fortune.
00:41:28And stitched in Italy, naturally.
00:41:31And apparently there are many more like it.
00:41:33This would be high-end stores and museums around the world
00:41:37from her private collection.
00:41:39Laura, do you like this dress?
00:41:42Of course.
00:41:43It's custom made for me.
00:41:45I'm just here to take what's already mine.
00:41:48Oh, you can't be serious.
00:41:49There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.
00:41:53Fine, fine.
00:41:54If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?
00:41:57It would look incredible on me.
00:41:59Miss, this dress is very delicate.
00:42:02If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:42:07Are you calling me fat?
00:42:08Actually, on a second thought.
00:42:10Why don't we just buy the whole brand?
00:42:13How's that sound?
00:42:14Sir, are you serious?
00:42:15You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:42:19This brand is worth at least 50 million dollars.
00:42:22And to buy it for a waitress?
00:42:25Are you out of your mind?
00:42:27Yes.
00:42:28You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:42:31Just one second.
00:42:35Yes, this is Brian Shepherd, CEO of Shepherd Group.
00:42:38I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:42:41I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.
00:42:47What?
00:42:48Sorry sir, that brand is not for sale.
00:42:54You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.
00:43:00Mr. Yates, yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:43:03I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepherd Group.
00:43:10Oh, come on.
00:43:11Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:43:14Exactly.
00:43:15Come on, this is pathetic.
00:43:16You really think this is going to work?
00:43:18It's sad.
00:43:19Excellent.
00:43:21Thank you, Mr. Yates.
00:43:22That's all.
00:43:29Yes?
00:43:34What?
00:43:35Are you willing to sell me the brand?
00:43:39Awesome.
00:43:45Hello?
00:43:46Yes.
00:43:48Wow.
00:43:49Yes, of course.
00:43:50Absolutely.
00:43:51Mm-hmm.
00:43:54Uh, this store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepherd.
00:43:59The Shepherd Group is the new owner.
00:44:01How may I be upstairs today, sir?
00:44:04Well, Laura, I don't know much about fashion, so I would like to give you this brand to you.
00:44:10You can't be serious.
00:44:11You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:44:14Don't listen to her, Brian.
00:44:17You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.
00:44:20You're not welcome here.
00:44:21I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:28I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:30Of course.
00:44:33Oh, come on.
00:44:34Sir?
00:44:35Ma'am?
00:44:36You're afraid I'll have to ask you to leave?
00:44:37Well, we're not leaving.
00:44:38Okay?
00:44:39Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:40This isn't over, Laura!
00:44:42Could I try the dress on now?
00:44:43Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:44:44You just follow me.
00:44:52Wow.
00:44:54Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.
00:45:00Laura, you look breathtaking in this dress.
00:45:05Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:45:10Me?
00:45:11Laura.
00:45:14Because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.
00:45:18And that includes this dress.
00:45:23Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:45:27I...
00:45:29I need a moment.
00:45:31Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:45:36Does that mean you could be a yes?
00:45:38Maybe.
00:45:45Hi.
00:45:53Hi.
00:45:57What?
00:45:59Well, well, well.
00:46:01Look who decided to join the party.
00:46:03Playing dress-up again, Laura?
00:46:04One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:46:08And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:46:10You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?
00:46:13For this.
00:46:14This gold digger.
00:46:16You know, Ben.
00:46:17I really cared about you.
00:46:19Even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:46:22I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:46:24Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:46:30Enough!
00:46:32I've had enough of this drama.
00:46:33Yeah, me too.
00:46:35Try that again and you'll regret it.
00:46:38Now get the hell out of my face.
00:46:40Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:46:42Yeah.
00:46:43I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:46:49What?
00:46:50That's impossible.
00:46:51I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:46:56Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group's name is on the list.
00:47:01Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.
00:47:05You don't have an invitation.
00:47:07You're just here because of Brian.
00:47:12Let me see this.
00:47:13This doesn't even look real.
00:47:14It's different from mine.
00:47:16Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:21This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:47:26Please, right this way.
00:47:27We can continue this discussion later.
00:47:30If you manage to get in.
00:47:35Sir.
00:47:36Madam.
00:47:37We recommend you leave.
00:47:40There you are!
00:47:42How dare you steal my fiancee!
00:47:46There you are!
00:47:48How dare you steal my fiancee!
00:47:50Looks like another relationship fights the dust, Laura.
00:47:53Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours.
00:47:56Get away from him!
00:47:58He's engaged to me!
00:47:59Hey, hey, hey.
00:48:00Hold your horses, Gwen.
00:48:01That ended a long time ago.
00:48:03Engaged to you.
00:48:05Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:48:09Your relationship's history.
00:48:11That was just a little tiff.
00:48:13You really think that could tear us apart?
00:48:16Don't you know who I am?
00:48:18Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:48:20Oh, honey.
00:48:21She don't recognize royalty, let alone a duke.
00:48:25She's just a maid, remember?
00:48:26I don't have time for all this drama.
00:48:29Brian?
00:48:31Let's head inside.
00:48:33Brian!
00:48:34How could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:48:38Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:48:41There's nothing left to say, Gloria.
00:48:44Don't make this a scene.
00:48:46Shall we?
00:48:52You okay, Miss Duke?
00:48:55And you are?
00:48:56Amber Smith.
00:48:58I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:49:01What branch? I've never heard of it.
00:49:03What do you want from me?
00:49:04That Laura!
00:49:06She tore up my invitation.
00:49:07Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:09What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:49:13Please don't waste my time.
00:49:14Yup!
00:49:15I feel very thankful.
00:49:16Really quite thankful for him.
00:49:18Tony will be afraid of trying jijakt City hard enough to colour with him.
00:49:19And there's no Lovecraft Hair line up here.
00:49:20But in this match here, he's going to talk to her.
00:49:21I want to pay for him.
00:49:23He's even lucky.
00:49:25Hello!
00:49:27He loved telling her to me.
00:49:28Oh
00:49:36Hi.
00:49:37Oh I thought I was last day've ночью ...
00:49:39pool tonight.
00:49:40Gutton's with my birth kind of w проблем.
00:49:41If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:49:49The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:49:53Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.
00:49:56Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:49:58Good.
00:50:00I need your help with something.
00:50:02What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.
00:50:06It's Brian.
00:50:07Who's that woman? I thought you were...
00:50:10She's a con woman.
00:50:12She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:15What?
00:50:16Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:21Well, she's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.
00:50:25What are you planning?
00:50:27I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:50:33Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:37Now, I had no idea she would be so...
00:50:39And dance.
00:50:44What do you mean?
00:50:45You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:50:48I mean, you guys are just...
00:50:50Power couple.
00:50:54I see what you're doing.
00:50:56Power couple, you say?
00:50:57More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:51:03Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:51:05Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:51:09This is signed by all three VPs of Louis Group.
00:51:12Where did you get this?
00:51:15Who did you have to sleep with?
00:51:16That's enough.
00:51:19This is getting us nowhere.
00:51:21Laura is my guest.
00:51:23And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:51:28Got it?
00:51:30Mr. Shepard, what do you see in that woman?
00:51:34Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:51:36She's from a good family.
00:51:38Beautiful.
00:51:39And successful.
00:51:40What more could you ask for?
00:51:43That's a good question.
00:51:45Not much, actually.
00:51:47Honesty.
00:51:48That's what I want.
00:51:51And love.
00:51:53Things that clearly Chloe has no idea.
00:51:56I said I was sorry.
00:51:58What more do you want?
00:52:00I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:52:02She's like a daughter to me.
00:52:04I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:52:10One more chance, Brian.
00:52:12Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:52:15Do it, Mr. Shepard.
00:52:17Propose.
00:52:18Right here.
00:52:19Right now.
00:52:21Brian?
00:52:24Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:52:28By forcing a ring on someone?
00:52:32Do it.
00:52:32Or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:52:41Don't you dare.
00:52:43You humiliate yourself.
00:52:46How dare you?
00:52:47Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:52:50Yes.
00:52:52Oh my god.
00:52:55But I can't imagine someone like her interesting in me.
00:52:57The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:53:05Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:07Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:07I know.
00:53:09Exactly.
00:53:10This woman is Trevor.
00:53:11She doesn't belong here.
00:53:12Throw her out!
00:53:13You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me.
00:53:18Interesting turn of events.
00:53:20Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:53:25Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress, Laura Lewis?
00:53:34One more chance, Brian.
00:53:36You're right, Chloe.
00:53:37You're right, Chloe.
00:53:38Ridiculous.
00:53:39Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:53:41I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow.
00:53:49How did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?
00:53:52You have no right to talk to Ms. Duke like that!
00:53:54That's enough.
00:53:55You don't get to talk here!
00:53:57You got mad shepard!
00:53:58You dare to go against Ms. Duke!
00:54:00And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:54:02Anyone who insults Laura.
00:54:06Leave us with a black eye.
00:54:07She's willing to defend the Duke for her.
00:54:09What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:11I want to be careful, Brian.
00:54:13Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:54:17Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:54:21The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially none.
00:54:26Shepard Group.
00:54:31Lewis Group RS?
00:54:33You?
00:54:34Don't make me laugh.
00:54:36Security, remove these two impostors from the premises.
00:54:40Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:54:42Give Brian another chance.
00:54:44Choose, Brian.
00:54:46Me and the future you deserve.
00:54:48Or this...
00:54:49Fraught.
00:54:52Chloe.
00:54:53I have everything I ever wanted.
00:54:56Right here.
00:54:57And I wouldn't trade all the power that took so on me.
00:55:01Fine.
00:55:08Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:09What?
00:55:10You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:14Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:16The Duke family.
00:55:17They can't be serious.
00:55:18Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:20Brian.
00:55:21You don't have to do this for me.
00:55:25Laura.
00:55:26Now we'll never let anyone bully you.
00:55:29Let alone them.
00:55:32Brian.
00:55:33For...
00:55:34For believing in me.
00:55:36For...
00:55:37Protecting...
00:55:38Me.
00:55:39Now it's my turn.
00:55:41To protect you.
00:55:48Listen carefully.
00:55:50I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.
00:55:53At all costs.
00:55:55Don't let it drop.
00:55:57Even one cent.
00:56:00Do you understand?
00:56:02Well...
00:56:03Award winning performance, Laura.
00:56:05But you can't possibly control the stock market.
00:56:09Wanna put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:12If...
00:56:13The Shepard stock holds...
00:56:17For the next five minutes...
00:56:21You owe me a public apology.
00:56:25Do.
00:56:26Well...
00:56:27Looks like your five minutes is up.
00:56:30Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
00:56:47What the?
00:56:48The Shepard Group stock prices?
00:56:50It's going up!
00:56:52This can't be happening.
00:56:53It must be a coincidence.
00:57:00Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
00:57:03There was a huge investment.
00:57:05We couldn't compete.
00:57:06Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:10How did you do this?
00:57:12Like I said, Chloe...
00:57:15I'm...
00:57:16Laura Lewis.
00:57:18No, you're not.
00:57:19You're just some cleaner.
00:57:20You don't have access to billions.
00:57:23Well...
00:57:25I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:30There is no way I'm apologizing to you.
00:57:34If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:57:38Chloe?
00:57:39The truth is...
00:57:41Everyone here...
00:57:43Has seen you be a bully.
00:57:45And a coward.
00:57:47And now...
00:57:49A sore loser.
00:57:51This is so humiliating for her.
00:57:54How did she manage to do this?
00:57:56How did she manage to do this?
00:57:57Maybe she really is a Lewis.
00:57:59Apologize to Miss Lewis.
00:58:01Shut up.
00:58:02Don't you die talk about Miss Duke like that.
00:58:04Don't forget, the Duke found me on half of Maplewood.
00:58:06There you go, Miss Lewis.
00:58:07Let's get out of here.
00:58:09Hold on.
00:58:11This...
00:58:12Is where I belong.
00:58:14And that...
00:58:16Is my chair.
00:58:17You can't go there.
00:58:18That is the VIP section.
00:58:19Only those invited by the Lewis Group Vice Presidents get to sit there.
00:58:33Like I said, Chloe...
00:58:36That's my seat.
00:58:37I had a rumour floating around a few days ago.
00:58:47Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepherd, wasn't it?
00:58:55Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
00:58:58Is this how you charm all your men?
00:59:00Shall we?
00:59:01My pleasure.
00:59:03What are you doing?
00:59:05Let go.
00:59:07It doesn't matter what happens.
00:59:08I choose to stay by Laura's side.
00:59:11Let's go.
00:59:13Don't be absurd.
00:59:14That seat is reserved for a very important guest.
00:59:18Someone so esteemed, even the Vice Presidents have to bow low.
00:59:23And...
00:59:25How?
00:59:27Exactly, Mr. Jones?
00:59:30Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
00:59:34Wait, that's Peter Young.
00:59:36Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group.
00:59:42That's Peter Young.
00:59:43He decides which investment is in there.
00:59:45It's Chloe Duke.
00:59:46Head of Duke Industries.
00:59:47So glad you could join us.
00:59:49Why is everyone standing around?
00:59:50It's her.
00:59:51She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat.
00:59:55It's embarrassing.
00:59:56That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
01:00:00Specifically the family heir.
01:00:02Please get off the stage.
01:00:04Oh yes.
01:00:06Mr. Young, was it?
01:00:08I think I remember you.
01:00:09You manage my family's investments.
01:00:13Don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:00:16Please get off the stage.
01:00:18That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.
01:00:20I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:00:28I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:00:33I am the heir of the house.
01:00:35I am the heir of the house.
01:00:36I am the heir of the house.
01:00:38This is Ridiculous.
01:00:39You?
01:00:40The Lewis heir.
01:00:41Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:00:43You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:00:46Exactly.
01:00:47We ran a background check on her.
01:00:48And it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.
