Transcript

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.

00:05:43She's gone.

00:05:44Go to written store.

00:05:45Sir?

00:05:46Maura Lewis's information.

00:05:47Uh...

00:05:48She's Ben Harrison's wife.

00:05:49No wonder why she wanted to partner with them.

00:05:50Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.

00:05:52Divorce her?

00:05:53Divorce her?

00:05:54Wait a minute.

00:05:55Don't you remember?

00:05:56Don't you remember?

00:05:57She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.

00:05:58Yeah.

00:05:59She saved our hiding then.

00:06:00Remember?

00:06:01Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a $100 million contract?

00:06:02I don't know.

00:06:03I don't know.

00:06:04I don't know.

00:06:05Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.

00:06:09Divorced her?

00:06:11Wait a minute.

00:06:13Don't you remember?

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

00:06:19Yeah, she saved our hiring then.

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

00:06:29I don't know.

00:06:31Let's get to the bottom tips.

00:06:35Hey, what are you doing? Let go of me.

00:06:38You attacked Amber. Apologize this instant.

00:06:44Stealing from the Harrisons.

00:06:46We gave you a generous divorce settlement.

00:06:48You refused it and now you're stealing.

00:06:51She couldn't afford it. You're a thief.

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

00:07:02That's enough.

00:07:05What?

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

00:07:09It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.

00:07:16You see, it's...

00:07:17Who are you, Boris New Squeeze?

00:07:20Excuse me. Do you know who I am?

00:07:22Is this true? You 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. I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.

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

00:07:38You 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. He doesn't look like that. My ring.

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

00:07:52Oh, hey, what are you doing?

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

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

00:08:04It's all right, ma'am. This is none of your business.

00:08:07All brown dead bodies! You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on.

00:08:12We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her!

00:08:16Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. I go back.

00:08:19What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie!

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

00:08:27Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!

00:08:31Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?

00:08:36Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.

00:08:41I don't feel good about going through the signing event.

00:08:44After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?

00:08:48No! Um, no. The event will proceed.

00:08:53Besides, I'll be there.

00:08:56There'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.

00:09:07Um, can you pull up over here, please?

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

00:09:22An investment meeting, one week from today.

00:09:25Make sure everyone is there.

00:09:29Because after that meeting, I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.

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

00:09:41Ben Harrison, you're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.

00:09:50After 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! Get that woman out of here! We don't need cleaners at this event!

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

00:10:14Business? You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.

00:10:18A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey. Just get out!

00:10:22Don't tell me you couldn't looking 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?

00:10:32Laura, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?

00:10:36You don't belong here. Just get out!

00:10:40Oh.

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

00:10:47This contract is mine. To give or take away as I see fit.

00:10:58Don't be ridiculous! This is insane! Who 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...

00:11:21Yes!

00:11:22Yes!

00:11:36Laura?

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

00:11:40It's really no worries, Mr. Shepherd, but I'm just going through a divorce. You see, it's...

00:11:48Who are you?

00:11:49Laura's new squeeze.

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

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

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

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

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

00:12:31Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?

00:12:35It's alright, ma'am. This is none of your business.

00:12:38I'll grab dead bodies. You'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.

00:12:47Harrison, compared to the Shepherd Group, you're nobody.

00:12:50Now go back.

00:12:51What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepherd?

00:12:54That's a lie!

00:12:55Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura!

00:14:30All right.

00:14:31Laura, what are you doing here?

00:14:33Security!

00:15:29Yeah, put that down.

00:15:30You have no idea what you're doing.

00:15:32Security!

00:15:33She's lost a mind!

00:15:35This is a disaster!

00:15:36Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,

00:15:41but since you clearly don't deserve it...

00:15:53You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help?

00:15:56You're so silly, Laura.

00:15:57Oh, please, honey.

00:15:58You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.

00:16:00Security!

00:16:01Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.

00:16:02I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.

00:16:04And after careful consideration,

00:16:05I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working.

00:16:06I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.

00:16:07I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.

00:16:08You really think the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?

00:16:10I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.

00:16:11You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help?

00:16:12You're so silly, Laura.

00:16:13Oh, please, honey.

00:16:14You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.

00:16:17Security!

00:16:18Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.

00:16:21I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.

00:16:24And after careful consideration, I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working

00:16:32with the Shepherds.

00:16:33You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?

00:16:37You have no authority here.

00:16:39Of course she has the authority.

00:16:48That's the man that Laura went with the other day.

00:16:50What is he doing here?

00:16:51Mr. Shepard?

00:16:52How does he know her?

00:16:53Is that really Brian Shepard?

00:16:55Laura, are you alright?

00:16:59Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.

00:17:02There must be some sort of misunderstanding.

00:17:04There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.

00:17:06This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.

00:17:11Effective immediately.

00:17:13Wait a minute.

00:17:15This contract, I thought you said you got it.

00:17:17It's her.

00:17:18She ruined the contract.

00:17:20You are his mistress, aren't you?

00:17:22An affair?

00:17:23She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?

00:17:27Mom, please.

00:17:28It's okay.

00:17:29This man is...

00:17:30Don't touch me.

00:17:31That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair and you just stand there?

00:17:37You're a disgrace.

00:17:38An adulterer.

00:17:39You deserve to be arrested.

00:17:40Shut up!

00:17:43Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess.

00:17:46But I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.

00:17:49Tricked?

00:17:50Why don't you answer a question yourself then?

00:17:55What was my name before we got married?

00:17:59Laura Lewis, right?

00:18:01Lewis group?

00:18:02The financial giants?

00:18:04There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.

00:18:07What?

00:18:08That's crazy.

00:18:09There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.

00:18:13That's absurd.

00:18:14It's...

00:18:15It's...

00:18:16It's...

00:18:17It's absurd!

00:18:18A high society heirs wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.

00:18:22Yeah.

00:18:23Yeah, it's a lie.

00:18:24It's a lie.

00:18:25This woman was a waitress when I met her.

00:18:26In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.

00:18:29She's nothing special.

00:18:31She only married me out of gratitude.

00:18:33I was just a waitress.

00:18:36How convenient for your story, Ben.

00:18:39First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.

00:18:42Okay, listen up, everybody.

00:18:43When I met her, I'd only just started my business.

00:18:46Mm-hmm.

00:18:47Now look at me.

00:18:48I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.

00:18:50And look at her.

00:18:51Still just a cleaner.

00:18:53Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.

00:18:57She's doing all this out of spite.

00:18:59She's lying, Mr. Shepard.

00:19:01She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?

00:19:06Let's make something clear.

00:19:09I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.

00:19:13I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.

00:19:19Don't lie.

00:19:20You were never good enough for Ben when you married him. Oops.

00:19:24That roof was built with lies.

00:19:27Kathy, you never respected me.

00:19:29And Ben?

00:19:31Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.

00:19:34And the cheating.

00:19:36I think you're blaming the wrong person.

00:19:39You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.

00:19:44If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy.

00:19:51Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.

00:19:54From everything.

00:19:56Wait, wait, wait, wait, Laura.

00:20:01You think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?

00:20:04And then just walk out like nothing happened?

00:20:05I don't think so.

00:20:06You're a cleaner.

00:20:08You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.

00:20:10Nobody cares about you.

00:20:11Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.

00:20:15I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.

00:20:25I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.

00:20:27I think all jobs are important, right, Mom?

00:20:30Ben, what are you doing?

00:20:32But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.

00:20:37A janitor.

00:20:39Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?

00:20:47You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?

00:20:52Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.

00:20:55This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.

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

00:21:02A lie, you say?

00:21:03Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.

00:21:07But I don't recognize you.

00:21:09Is this true, Miss Smith?

00:21:13Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.

00:21:16This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.

00:21:20But the contract...

00:21:22I mean, Laura tore it up.

00:21:24So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?

00:21:28Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.

00:21:31Perhaps you haven't been paying attention.

00:21:33Without Miss Lewis' involvement,

00:21:35I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.

00:21:42Today, I want to make it clear.

00:21:44Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.

00:21:49Miss Smith, you lied to us!

00:21:54You destroyed everything!

00:21:56What?

00:21:57No, it's a misunderstanding!

00:21:58I can explain!

00:22:00Lewis?

00:22:01Lewis Family Group?

00:22:02This can't be!

00:22:04Believe what you want, Ben.

00:22:06Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.

00:22:11Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.

00:22:16And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.

00:22:21Everyone, listen to me!

00:22:25Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.

00:22:30A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.

00:22:37The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.

00:22:39Everyone here deserves to see the truth.

00:22:44Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?

00:22:48Miss Lewis, shall we get a doctor?

00:22:54Help!

00:22:55Mom!

00:22:56Someone get a doctor!

00:22:57Mom!

00:22:58It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.

00:23:04Indeed.

00:23:05Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.

00:23:18What?

00:23:19What now?

00:23:20Mom, this is not all on me.

00:23:23Not on you!

00:23:25I was trying to help.

00:23:27She cheated on you with Shepard.

00:23:29Flaunted their affair.

00:23:30Exactly.

00:23:32And those dresses?

00:23:33Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?

00:23:36Miss Smith, how could you do this?

00:23:39We trusted you completely.

00:23:41What? No, no.

00:23:42I got Ben the deal.

00:23:44I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.

00:23:46She's a liar.

00:23:49Oh, stop it, Amber.

00:23:50You lied to us just as much as she did.

00:23:53Lied?

00:23:54You're on my side.

00:23:56And anyways, I have a plan.

00:23:58The Shepards are no one special.

00:24:01We can expose Laura and all her lies.

00:24:03Go national.

00:24:05We can make ourselves a household name.

00:24:08Now, if you'll excuse me,

00:24:10I have a very important phone call to make.

00:24:17Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.

00:24:20Thank you as well for standing up for me.

00:24:23It's alright, Laura.

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

00:24:26Can I ask you something?

00:24:27Do you have any place to stay tonight?

00:24:30Maybe a hotel?

00:24:31Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.

00:24:33I'll be fine.

00:24:35Excuse me, you can just drop me off.

00:24:37Actually, Laura, actually, Laura, there is something else.

00:24:41Would you consider going out for dinner sometime?

00:24:44Just casually, of course.

00:24:46Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?

00:24:50Please, call me Brian.

00:24:53And yes, technically you're single now.

00:24:56Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.

00:25:08Proper?

00:25:10Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.

00:25:14Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.

00:25:18Those are qualities I truly admire.

00:25:20So what do you say?

00:25:23Dinner?

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

00:25:31I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.

00:25:33I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't-

00:25:37Wait, Laura.

00:25:38Just here is fine.

00:25:42Laura?

00:25:47Laura, who is it?

00:25:49Laura, wait!

00:25:51Jason, find out who owns that car.

00:25:55And do it fast.

00:26:03Ian Lewis, who is this?

00:26:05It's Amber Smith.

00:26:07Mr. Lewis?

00:26:09I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.

00:26:14I don't know who you are, Miss Smith.

00:26:16How did you get this number?

00:26:17Don't worry about that right now.

00:26:20I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.

00:26:23Someone I know very well.

00:26:25Impersonating my niece?

00:26:28And where is this fake Laura?

00:26:32Right here in Maplewood.

00:26:34And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.

00:26:37Well, what is she doing exactly?

00:26:40And more to the point, what do you want from me?

00:26:45In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?

00:26:50I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.

00:26:53All will be revealed then.

00:26:55Very well.

00:26:56I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.

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

00:27:03It won't be.

00:27:04Trust me, Mr. Lewis.

00:27:06Thank you, Mr.

00:27:07That little rascal, Laura.

00:27:16I wonder what she's up to now.

00:27:21That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubler.

00:27:24Oh.

00:27:27Lewis family?

00:27:29That's interesting.

00:27:31Could you be connected to them somehow?

00:27:34I'm not sure.

00:27:37Brian!

00:27:39There you are.

00:27:40I've missed you.

00:27:41Chloe.

00:27:43What are you up to?

00:27:45Chloe, what are you doing here?

00:27:47What do you mean?

00:27:49Can't I visit the man I love?

00:27:51We ended things for a reason.

00:27:53It was just one teensy mistake.

00:27:55I was-

00:27:56I was a little bit tipsy.

00:27:58Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?

00:28:00Teensy mistake, you say?

00:28:01You cheated on me.

00:28:07Is this your new fling?

00:28:09Ex-divorcey.

00:28:11Used a clean floor.

00:28:12It's quite the catch, wouldn't you say?

00:28:15Look.

00:28:16My relationship with her is none of your business.

00:28:19And don't you dare talk about her like that.

00:28:22Please.

00:28:24An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.

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

00:28:29That's enough.

00:28:31I'll get the hell out of my office.

00:28:33You want to be careful, Brian.

00:28:35Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.

00:28:38If you want Shepherd Group to stay afloat,

00:28:41you ought to be more careful.

00:28:46Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.

00:28:48This is it.

00:28:49The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.

00:28:50Once I'm done speaking with them,

00:28:51I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.

00:28:52I'll go speak with them first and then I'll introduce you.

00:28:53Well, well, well, well.

00:28:54Look who it is.

00:28:56What a surprise.

00:28:57Did Brian teach you already?

00:28:59That's none of your business.

00:29:01Now move aside, please.

00:29:02Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?

00:29:03You really think you can just ruin my events again?

00:29:04Haven't you ruined my life enough?

00:29:05Don't you have any shame?

00:29:06If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.

00:29:07Oh, the nerves.

00:29:08After everything you've done,

00:29:09you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?

00:29:11Seriously?

00:29:12No.

00:29:13No.

00:29:14No.

00:29:15No.

00:29:16No.

00:29:17No.

00:29:18No.

00:29:19No.

00:29:20No.

00:29:21No.

00:29:22No.

00:29:23No.

00:29:24No.

00:29:25No.

00:29:26No.

00:29:27No.

00:29:28No.

00:29:29No.

00:29:30No.

00:29:31No.

00:29:32No.

00:29:33No.

00:29:34No.

00:29:35No.

00:29:36Thank you so much.

00:29:37Coolest thing.

00:29:38No.

00:29:39Oh, that's gold.

00:29:40You really think they're gonna let you in, Laura?

00:29:41Please, you're no one compared to me.

00:29:42You don't deserve to be here.

00:29:43The only ones who don't belong here are you three.

00:29:46And you, idiot, believing every lie she tells you, wake up, Ben.

00:30:01Oh, Laura!

00:30:03Oh, Laura, come on, why do you always pull this on me?

00:30:06I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?

00:30:10I know what this is.

00:30:12So stupid.

00:30:14Oh, shut your trap.

00:30:16Amber spoke directly with the CEO.

00:30:18He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.

00:30:21Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.

00:30:25And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.

00:30:28Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this?

00:30:38Oh, that's rich.

00:30:40You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.

00:30:43I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.

00:30:47Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?

00:30:50You mean my uncle?

00:30:53Ian, don't be ridiculous.

00:30:54Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.

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

00:31:03She's a liar.

00:31:05This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.

00:31:10It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.

00:31:15She's lying.

00:31:16They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.

00:31:19Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?

00:31:26Not that I know of.

00:31:28See?

00:31:28She's lying.

00:31:30There you have it, Laura.

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

00:31:33Go on, get lost before things get worse.

00:31:38Here, take this one.

00:31:40Lead me to the vice president's.

00:31:42You have no idea what you just did.

00:31:47There be consequences.

00:31:50Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,

00:31:57why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?

00:32:02Security, security, we need this woman removed immediately.

00:32:04She is harassing me.

00:32:05We're done with your games, Laura.

00:32:07You're just a fraud.

00:32:08Ma'am, please move.

00:32:09What?

00:32:10Hold on.

00:32:12Brian Shepard?

00:32:15You think money buys you the right to walk all over people?

00:32:18Well, it doesn't.

00:32:19Yeah.

00:32:20Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?

00:32:22What other plans do you have to destroy this time?

00:32:25Get you out?

00:32:26After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.

00:32:29Don't play dumb.

00:32:31We know exactly what's been happening here.

00:32:33How long has this little affair been going on?

00:32:35You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.

00:32:38Hold on a second.

00:32:40An affair?

00:32:42You think Laura and I, you people are unbelievable.

00:32:48Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP.

00:32:51We have a situation.

00:32:53What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?

00:32:55Is that it?

00:32:56We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn.

00:32:58Ms. Lewis, apologies for the delay.

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

00:33:02Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.

00:33:05It seems there's a misunderstanding.

00:33:08These people don't think that I belong here.

00:33:12Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.

00:33:15A cleaner?

00:33:15Nonsense.

00:33:16I personally agreed to Ms. Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.

00:33:20Exactly.

00:33:21Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.

00:33:30I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.

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

00:33:38She's been this way since my son divorced her.

00:33:40She's insane.

00:33:41Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.

00:33:45She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.

00:33:49No, it's a lie.

00:33:52Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you, too.

00:33:56You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.

00:34:03Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?

00:34:06Wait, is that why you're covering for her?

00:34:08Because of the affair?

00:34:09Because she slept with you?

00:34:11Excuse me.

00:34:11Of course.

00:34:12Who are you and how dare you speak to Ms. Lewis that way?

00:34:15Enough of this.

00:34:15That's enough.

00:34:17Heaven here bears yourself enough.

00:34:19This is Lewis Group property.

00:34:21Behave or I'll call security.

00:34:22But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access.

00:34:26She shouldn't be here.

00:34:28Since you're having trouble understanding, Ben, let me make it clear.

00:34:32This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.

00:34:36It's mine to come or go as I please.

00:34:44Thank you for sending me in, Brian.

00:34:46I owe you one.

00:34:49We'll talk about this later.

00:34:51Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harrison.

00:34:55Excuse me, Vice Presidents.

00:35:07I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.

00:35:11I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today.

00:35:15Maplewood Branch.

00:35:17Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Ms. Smith.

00:35:22Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?

00:35:26Ian Lewis...

00:35:27Mr. Lewis reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.

00:35:34Oh, expansion plans?

00:35:36Ms. Smith, a decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.

00:35:42And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.

00:35:46But Ian Lewis assured me that...

00:35:50Ms. 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...

00:35:58Ms. Smith, we'd like you to leave.

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

00:36:07Hey, stop there.

00:36:09This elevator's a VIP only.

00:36:12Back, please.

00:36:13Of course.

00:36:14My apologies.

00:36:21Laura?

00:36:24Vice Presidents!

00:36:25It's so good to see all of you again.

00:36:27Ms. Lewis, it's been too long.

00:36:31Your return is a lifesaver, Ms. 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, Ms. Lewis.

00:36:45Well, please sit.

00:36:47Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.

00:36:51We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.

00:36:57Local powerhouses and smaller players, too.

00:37:01They'll all be there in one spot.

00:37:03Ms. Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.

00:37:07She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.

00:37:14She said that.

00:37:15Did she?

00:37:16Well, Ms. Smith is a liar.

00:37:18There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.

00:37:21She lied so blatantly.

00:37:23It was, it's unbelievable.

00:37:25Well, 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.

00:37:46Amber, I've got plans for her.

00:37:52Ms. Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the meeting from us.

00:38:01Cheers.

00:38:02Cheers.

00:38:02You too.

00:38:12I'm not leaving.

00:38:13What are you talking about?

00:38:14No, come on.

00:38:15Wait!

00:38:15I'm Amber Smith.

00:38:17I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch.

00:38:19What are you doing?

00:38:19These are my guests.

00:38:20Yeah, that's right.

00:38:21Tell them who we are.

00:38:22Yes, we were waiting for Ms. Smith.

00:38:25Lewis Group Maplewood branch?

00:38:27No such thing, ma'am.

00:38:28And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.

00:38:31Oh, of 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, Kathy.

00:38:40She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.

00:38:42No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.

00:38:46Careful with your words.

00:38:48Both of you.

00:38:50Accusations 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.

00:39:00And 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, I 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, I'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.

00:39:38Laura, I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.

00:39:43Only the top companies get those.

00:39:46Looks like you're all out of luck.

00:39:48Is that so?

00:39:49Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.

00:39:54You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.

00:39:59And I decide who goes to the meetings.

00:40:04Escort them out.

00:40:06What?

00:40:06Their visit is over.

00:40:08Oh, 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.

00:40:14Oh, no, no, no.

00:40:15We're not going now.

00:40:16Okay, fine, fine.

00:40:17This isn't over, Laura.

00:40:19You see.

00:40:19Thanks for waiting, Ben.

00:40:25Laura, I'm glad you're okay.

00:40:29And thank you for defending me.

00:40:33I really appreciate it.

00:40:36Um, are you coming to the meeting?

00:40:41Yes, but it's going to be tricky.

00:40:47Why?

00:40:47I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.

00:40:53Yes, Laura.

00:40:57There's something you should know.

00:40:59Is this about Ben?

00:41:02Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.

00:41:06He won't even get past security.

00:41:09Laura, it'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.

00:41:25She is daughter of the Duke family.

00:41:29She's my ex-fiancé.

00:41:32And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.

00:41:38And, let's just say we didn't end things so well.

00:41:44And for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.

00:41:50And you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting for...

00:41:57Out of jealousy?

00:42:03There'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, I'll be there too.

00:42:15Laura, would you consider being a guest at the meeting?

00:42:23What?

00:42:24Are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too?

00:42:28Maybe a little.

00:42:30But mostly, I want to show them we're a team.

00:42:34Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.

00:42:39Laura.

00:42:44I don't care about your best.

00:42:47I just want to be by your side.

00:42:49I think I'm falling for you.

00:42:50Brian.

00:43:00I...

00:43:01I appreciate your honesty and...

00:43:04Right now, I...

00:43:05I'm just not...

00:43:07I...

00:43:07I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.

00:43:11Just with...

00:43:12With everything going on.

00:43:14And going on and...

00:43:15It's okay.

00:43:16I just want to be upfront.

00:43:18And if Chloe tries anything,

00:43:22you won't face her alone.

00:43:27There's just one thing I do need.

00:43:31What is it?

00:43:33A formal dress.

00:43:35Ah, security!

00:43:48She doesn't belong here.

00:43:50This is a private store.

00:43:51Excuse me.

00:43:53We need some assistance.

00:43:54I'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.

00:44:05Don'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.

00:44:11She 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.

00:44:23Oh, 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, show some respect.

00:44:34Oh, wow.

00:44:34Typical 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.

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

00:44:45Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.

00:44:48Uh, 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.

00:45:05It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.

00:45:07What are you talking about?

00:45:09Of course it would suit her.

00:45:10It'd fit her just fine.

00:45:11And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.

00:45:14Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.

00:45:22Oh, 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.

00:45:38It 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.

00:46:04There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.

00:46:08Fine, fine.

00:46:09If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?

00:46:12It would look incredible on me.

00:46:14Miss, this dress is very delicate.

00:46:17If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.

00:46:22Are you calling me fat?

00:46:23Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand?

00:46:28How's that sound?

00:46:29Sir, are you serious?

00:46:31You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?

00:46:34This brand is worth at least $50 million.

00:46:37And to buy it for a waitress?

00:46:40Are 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.

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

00:46:53I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.

00:46:56I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.

00:47:02What?

00:47:04Sorry, sir.

00:47:05That 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.

00:47:18I'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.

00:47:30Come on, this is pathetic.

00:47:31You really think this is going to work?

00:47:32It's sad.

00:47:33Excellent.

00:47:35Thank you, Mr. Yates, that's all.

00:47:41Mr. Yates, yes, yes, yes, yes, of course, absolutely, mm-hmm, thank you, uh, this store,

00:48:09along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepard.

00:48:13Oh.

00:48:13The Shepard Group is the new owner.

00:48:15How may I be of service today, sir?

00:48:18Well, Lauren, I don't know much about fashion, so I would like to give you 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.

00:48:28Don't listen to her, Brian.

00:48:31You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.

00:48:35You're not welcome here.

00:48:36I want the two of these out of my store.

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

00:48:44Of course.

00:48:45Ugh.

00:48:46You can't be serious.

00:48:47Oh, come on.

00:48:48Sir?

00:48:49Ma'am?

00:48:50You're afraid I have to ask you to leave?

00:48:51Well, we're not leaving.

00:48:52Okay?

00:48:53Hey, hey, hey!

00:48:54This isn't over, Laura!

00:48:55Could I try the dress on now?

00:48:57Of course, Miss Lewis.

00:48:59You just follow me.

00:49:01Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.

00:49:14Laura, you look breathtaking in this dress.

00:49:18Brian, why would you do all of this for me?

00:49:24Laura, you guys deserve everything beautiful in the world, and that includes this dress.

00:49:36Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?

00:49:41I...

00:49:42I need a moment.

00:49:44Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?

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

00:49:52Maybe.

00:49:53Hi.

00:49:54Hi.

00:49:55Hi.

00:49:56Hi.

00:49:57Hi.

00:49:58What?

00:49:59Well, well, well.

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

00:50:03Playing dress-up again, Laura?

00:50:04One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.

00:50:09And you understand the meaning of this dress?

00:50:12Yes.

00:50:13Maybe.

00:50:14Hi.

00:50:15Hi.

00:50:16Hi.

00:50:17Hi.

00:50:18Hi.

00:50:19Hi.

00:50:20Hi.

00:50:21Hi.

00:50:22You're not the one.

00:50:23angeness thing of rude.

00:50:24You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?

00:50:26For this?

00:50:27This gold digger.

00:50:28You know, Ben, I really cared about you.

00:50:28Even 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.

00:50:38Maybe the Shrinks in Maplewood.

00:50:41Aren't equipped to deal with your issues.

00:50:44Enough!

00:50:45I've had enough of this drama.

00:50:47Yeah, me too.

00:50:48Try that again.

00:50:49And 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.

00:51:02What? That's impossible.

00:51:04I was invited by the CEO himself.

00:51:09Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group, your name is on the list.

00:51:13What?

00:51:14Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.

00:51:17You don't have an invitation.

00:51:19You're just here because of Brian.

00:51:21Let 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?

00:51:33This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.

00:51:38Please, right this way.

00:51:40We can continue this discussion later, if you manage to get in.

00:51:47Sir, madam, we recommend you leave.

00:51:51There you are!

00:51:54How dare you steal my fiancée!

00:51:56Looks like another relationship bites the dust, Laura.

00:52:04Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours.

00:52:08Get away from him!

00:52:10He's engaged to me!

00:52:11Hey, hey, hey. Hold your horses, Gwen.

00:52:13That ended a long time ago.

00:52:15Engaged to you.

00:52:16Engaged to you.

00:52:17Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.

00:52:21Your relationship's history.

00:52:24That was just a little tiff.

00:52:25You really think that could tear us apart?

00:52:28Don't you know who I am?

00:52:31Don't pretend like you don't know.

00:52:33Oh, honey.

00:52:34She don't recognize royalty, let alone a duke.

00:52:37She's just a maid, remember?

00:52:39I don't have time for all this drama.

00:52:42Brian?

00:52:44Let's head inside.

00:52:46Brian!

00:52:47How could you choose this cleaner over me?

00:52:51Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?

00:52:54There's nothing left to say, Glow.

00:52:56Don't make this a scene.

00:52:58Shall we?

00:52:58You 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.

00:53:28If I can't have a baby, I can't have a baby.

00:53:58If Brian, neither can you.

00:54:02The Duke family has more influence than you think.

00:54:06Chloe!

00:54:06Good to see you.

00:54:07I'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?

00:54:16Anything for my little Chloe.

00:54:18It's Brian.

00:54:20Who's that woman?

00:54:21I thought you were...

00:54:22She's a con woman.

00:54:24She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.

00:54:27What?

00:54:28Are you saying...

00:54:30Brian left you for a cleaner?

00:54:33Well, she's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.

00:54:37What are you planning?

00:54:39I want to destroy Shepard Group.

00:54:44Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.

00:54:48I had no idea she would be so...

00:54:52intense.

00:54:53What do you mean?

00:54:57You so should have taken her up on her offer.

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

00:55:01power couple.

00:55:05I see what you're doing.

00:55:07Power couple, you say?

00:55:10More like a disaster waiting to happen.

00:55:15Anyway, shall we take a seat?

00:55:16Actually, Brian, my seat is up there.

00:55:23Really?

00:55:25She doesn't deserve to sit there.

00:55:27Excuse me.

00:55:28This 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?

00:55:42Who did you have to sleep with?

00:55:43That's enough.

00:55:44This is getting us nowhere.

00:55:48Laura is my guest.

00:55:50And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.

00:55:55Got it?

00:55:56Mr. Shepard, what do you see in that woman?

00:56:01Miss 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.

00:56:14Honesty, that's what I want.

00:56:18And love.

00:56:19Things that clearly, Chloe 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.

00:56:30I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.

00:56:37One more chance, Brian.

00:56:39Let's forget all this nonsense.

00:56:42Do it, Mr. Shepard.

00:56:43Propose right here, right now.

00:56:47Brian?

00:56:47Well, is this how the Duke family handles business deals?

00:56:55By forcing a ring on someone?

00:56:58Do it, or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.

00:57:02Don't you dare.

00:57:09You're humiliating yourself.

00:57:12How dare you?

00:57:13Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?

00:57:16Yes.

00:57:18I like her.

00:57:19But 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?

00:57:34I know.

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.

00:57:47Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.

00:57:51Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura,

00:57:56that you're the missing heiress, Laura Lewis?

00:57:58You know what?

00:58:01Maybe you're right, Chloe.

00:58:03How ridiculous.

00:58:05Is that what you've been telling everyone?

00:58:07I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation,

00:58:12but 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.

00:58:22You don't get to talk here.

00:58:23You got mad, Shepard.

00:58:24You dare to go against Miss Duke.

00:58:26And the same applies to everyone else here.

00:58:28Anyone who insults Laura.

00:58:32Leave 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,

00:58:50especially not Shepard Group.

00:58:53Lewis Group RS?

00:58:57You?

00:58:58Don't make me laugh.

00:59:02Security, remove these two imposters from the premises.

00:59:06Wait, Uncle Jones.

00:59:07Give Brian another chance.

00:59:09Choose, Brian.

00:59:10Me and the future you deserve.

00:59:13Or this fraud.

00:59:17Chloe, I have everything I ever wanted right here.

00:59:23And I wouldn't trade for all the power to Duke's home in 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.

00:59:49Laura, I will never let anyone bully you, let alone them.

00:59:56Thank you, Brian, for believing in me, for protecting me.

01:00:05Now it's my turn to protect you.

01:00:13Listen carefully.

01:00:16I need you to protect the Shepard Group's stock.

01:00:18At all costs.

01:00:21Don't let it drop even one cent.

01:00:26Do you understand?

01:00:27Well, award-winning performance, Laura.

01:00:31But you can't possibly control the stock market.

01:00:34Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?

01:00:38If the Shepard stock holds for the next five minutes,

01:00:46you owe me a public apology.

01:00:56Deal.

01:01:00Well,

01:01:01looks like your five minutes is up.

01:01:05Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.

01:01:12What the?

01:01:13The Shepard Group's stock price is going up.

01:01:17This can't be happening.

01:01:18It must be a coincidence.

01:01:19Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?

01:01:29There was a huge investment.

01:01:30We couldn't compete.

01:01:31Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.

01:01:35How did you do this?

01:01:36Like I said, Chloe,

01:01:39I'm Laura Lewis.

01:01:43No, you're not.

01:01:44You're just some clean-out.

01:01:46You don't have access to billions.

01:01:48Well,

01:01:49I think it's time for my apology.

01:01:52Now,

01:01:57I think it's time for my apology.

01:02:00There is no way I'm apologizing to you.

01:02:03If things were the other way,

01:02:04would you be so quick to forgive me,

01:02:07Chloe?

01:02:08The truth is,

01:02:10everyone here

01:02:11has seen you be a bully

01:02:13and a coward

01:02:15and now

01:02:17a sore loser.

01:02:20This is so humiliating for her.

01:02:24How did she manage that?

01:02:25Maybe she really is a Lewis.

01:02:28Apologize to Miss Lewis.

01:02:30Shut up.

01:02:31Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.

01:02:34Don't forget,

01:02:35the Duke family owned half of Maplewood.

01:02:38Needle in service.

01:02:40Let's get out of here.

01:02:41Hold on.

01:02:44This

01:02:44is where I belong.

01:02:47And that

01:02:48is my chair.

01:02:51You can't go there.

01:02:52That is the VIP section.

01:02:54Only those invited by the Lewis Group vice presidents

01:02:57get to sit there.

01:02:58Like I said,

01:03:00Chloe,

01:03:01that's my seat.

01:03:02Had a rumor floating around a few days ago.

01:03:10Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene

01:03:13at a signing ceremony

01:03:15between her ex

01:03:16and

01:03:16Mr. Shepard.

01:03:18Wasn't it?

01:03:19Are you planning another outburst, Laura?

01:03:21Is this how you charm all your men?

01:03:24Shall we?

01:03:25My pleasure.

01:03:27What are you doing?

01:03:28Let go.

01:03:31It doesn't matter what happened.

01:03:32I choose to stay by Laura's side.

01:03:35Let's go.

01:03:37Don't be absurd.

01:03:39That seat is reserved for a very important guest.

01:03:42Someone so esteemed,

01:03:44even the vice presidents

01:03:46have to bow low.

01:03:49And

01:03:49how

01:03:51exactly, Mr. Jones?

01:03:54Are you so sure

01:03:55that I'm

01:03:56not that esteemed guest?

01:03:58Wait,

01:03:59that's Peter Young,

01:04:00Director of Business Affairs

01:04:01at Lewis Group.

01:04:05Ask Peter Young.

01:04:07He decides which investments are you.

01:04:08It's Chloe Duke,

01:04:10Head of Duke Industries.

01:04:11So glad you could join us.

01:04:12Why is everyone standing around?

01:04:14It's her.

01:04:15She's making a huge scene

01:04:16trying to claim the VIP seat.

01:04:18It's embarrassing.

01:04:20That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.

01:04:23Specifically the family heir.

01:04:26Please get off the stage.

01:04:27Oh yes.

01:04:29Mr. Young,

01:04:31was it?

01:04:31I think I remember you.

01:04:33You manage

01:04:34my 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

01:04:42for the Lewis family heir.

01:04:44I need to make one thing

01:04:45crystal clear.

01:04:51I

01:04:52am the heir

01:04:54of the Lewis family.

01:04:57This is ridiculous.

01:05:01You,

01:05:02the Lewis heir.

01:05:03Don't you know that Miss Lewis

01:05:04is a legend around here?

01:05:06You must be out of your mind

01:05:07trusting a complete stranger like this.

01:05:09Exactly.

01:05:10We ran a background check on her

01:05:12and it turns out she's just some cleaner

01:05:14that used to work for the Harrison Group.

01:05:16Before that,

01:05:17I could see her in my family's supermarket.

01:05:19See Brian,

01:05:21this is who you've been chasing after.

01:05:23A liar and a cheat.

01:05:25Security,

01:05:26get this imposter out of here.

01:05:28And everyone here is a witness.

01:05:30Why would any of you trust Laura?

01:05:33If any of you

01:05:34dares to harm her,

01:05:36you have to go through me first.

01:05:39Brian,

01:05:40she's just a nobody.

01:05:42She's just someone

01:05:43that the Harrison Group ditched.

01:05:45They didn't even want her.

01:05:46What exactly do you see in her?

01:05:48Escort this imposter out of here.

01:05:50Now.

01:05:52Oh, Peter.

01:06:00Peter,

01:06:00do you have any idea

01:06:02what you're doing?

01:06:04Mr. Yates,

01:06:05I'm so glad you could join us.

01:06:09Miss Lewis,

01:06:10sorry about the delay

01:06:11and for all the trouble

01:06:13you've had to put up with.

01:06:14It's no trouble,

01:06:16Mr. Yates.

01:06:17Luckily,

01:06:18I haven't been alone.

01:06:19I've had the great company

01:06:20of my very loyal

01:06:22friend.

01:06:25Wait a minute.

01:06:26She's Miss Lewis.

01:06:27Is this a joke?

01:06:29Mr. Young,

01:06:30you're new to the Lewis Group,

01:06:32so I can understand

01:06:34why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.

01:06:35But you listened to lies

01:06:38without checking the facts

01:06:39and almost called

01:06:41the police.

01:06:43Tell me,

01:06:45Mr. Young,

01:06:46who put you up to this?

01:06:48Was it my uncle,

01:06:49Ian Lewis?

01:06:53I knew it.

01:06:57Consider this your

01:06:58termination.

01:07:00I get it now.

01:07:02This is all an act.

01:07:04Right?

01:07:04Chloe,

01:07:05what are you doing?

01:07:05We still want to work

01:07:06with the Lewis family.

01:07:07Work with him?

01:07:08Are you blind?

01:07:09This woman is clearly

01:07:10having an affair

01:07:10with this old man.

01:07:12That's enough,

01:07:13young lady.

01:07:14You've got no right

01:07:15to disrespect

01:07:16the head of the Lewis Group.

01:07:19Oh,

01:07:20Chloe,

01:07:20I can't believe

01:07:21we're going through this again.

01:07:22I think you need

01:07:24some professional help.

01:07:26Maybe I could make you

01:07:27an appointment

01:07:27with a great psychiatrist.

01:07:29Chloe,

01:07:30that's enough.

01:07:31It's ridiculous.

01:07:32If you were really

01:07:32the Lewis family heir,

01:07:33you would have the ring.

01:07:35So why don't you

01:07:35show it to everyone?

01:07:36Show us the ring!

01:07:38Who are you

01:07:47to make demands of me?

01:07:49I don't answer

01:07:50to anyone

01:07:50but myself.

01:07:53I don't need

01:07:54any

01:07:55of your validation.

01:07:59There's a ring.

01:08:01Wow.

01:08:02Vice Presidents,

01:08:06I'm Chloe Duke

01:08:07of the Duke family.

01:08:08This woman

01:08:09is an imposter.

01:08:10Miss Lewis,

01:08:11we apologise

01:08:12for the delay.

01:08:14How could you just

01:08:14let that con woman

01:08:15sit there?

01:08:16Get her out of here!

01:08:17This seat was always

01:08:19from Miss Lewis.

01:08:21She's the special guest

01:08:22we've been waiting for.

01:08:24The investment queen.

01:08:26The real heir

01:08:27to Lewis Group.

01:08:29Laura Lewis.

01:08:30She was a divorced

01:08:31host wife.

01:08:32A janitor.

01:08:33How can she?

01:08:34She can't be.

01:08:35It's a lie.

01:08:35I'm telling you

01:08:36it's a lie.

01:08:37Do you think

01:08:38we'd lie?

01:08:39We run

01:08:40Lewis Group.

01:08:41Oh,

01:08:42Chloe,

01:08:43you assaulted me

01:08:44earlier.

01:08:46And you came

01:08:47to this meeting

01:08:48to what?

01:08:49Sabotage it.

01:08:51You'll be hearing

01:08:52from our legal team.

01:08:53Is this true,

01:08:57Miss Duke?

01:08:57Did you try

01:08:58and sabotage

01:08:59this meeting?

01:09:01Yes,

01:09:02it's all true.

01:09:03She fooled us all.

01:09:05The Duke tricked us

01:09:06to keep

01:09:06Lewis Group

01:09:07out of Maplewood

01:09:08and control

01:09:09everything themselves.

01:09:10I had no idea.

01:09:12But I'm on your side.

01:09:14I can give you

01:09:15everything you need.

01:09:17All the resources

01:09:18in Maplewood.

01:09:19Miss Lewis,

01:09:20how would you like

01:09:21us to deal with this?

01:09:22An eye

01:09:24for an eye.

01:09:27Since

01:09:28Miss Duke

01:09:29here

01:09:30loves

01:09:31ruining things,

01:09:34I'll target

01:09:35her precious

01:09:36Duke

01:09:37Industries.

01:09:39I want them

01:09:40bankrupt in

01:09:40ten minutes.

01:09:42You're bluffing.

01:09:44You're nobody.

01:09:45You'll always be

01:09:46a nobody.

01:09:46And you can't

01:09:47touch me.

01:09:48Then

01:09:48consider this

01:09:50a test.

01:09:51Chloe,

01:09:52I didn't need

01:09:53my family's

01:09:54support with

01:09:55Shepard

01:09:55and I certainly

01:09:56don't need it now.

01:09:57Chloe,

01:09:58you dug your

01:09:59own grave.

01:10:00You think

01:10:01you can destroy

01:10:02Maplewood's

01:10:03leading family

01:10:03with just

01:10:04the Shepard

01:10:05group?

01:10:06Please.

01:10:07Hmm.

01:10:09We'll see.

01:10:14Dad?

01:10:16Slow down!

01:10:17What are you

01:10:18talking about?

01:10:18What are you

01:10:19talking about?

01:10:19No,

01:10:21that's impossible.

01:10:24Chloe,

01:10:25what have you

01:10:25done?

01:10:26Years of hard

01:10:27work,

01:10:28destroyed in

01:10:28minutes.

01:10:32What did you

01:10:33do?

01:10:34Well,

01:10:35Chloe,

01:10:37isn't this

01:10:38what you

01:10:39wanted?

01:10:39To give me

01:10:40a little taste

01:10:40of destruction?

01:10:42This is

01:10:42impossible.

01:10:44It's

01:10:44impossible!

01:10:46Chloe,

01:10:47what have you

01:10:47done?

01:10:48The news

01:10:49is everywhere.

01:10:50Shepard's launched

01:10:51a full-scale

01:10:52assault on the

01:10:52stock market.

01:10:54They're hammering

01:10:54our shares.

01:10:55Are you

01:10:57sure it's just

01:10:58Shepard's?

01:10:58Yes!

01:10:59Shareholders

01:10:59are dumping

01:11:00our stock

01:11:01like it's

01:11:01a hot potato.

01:11:02We could go

01:11:03bankrupt.

01:11:04You've ruined

01:11:05everything!

01:11:06Don't worry,

01:11:06Mr. Duke.

01:11:07When your

01:11:09company does

01:11:09go bankrupt,

01:11:10I'll buy it

01:11:11at a fire sale

01:11:13price.

01:11:13Your employees

01:11:14won't even be

01:11:14affected.

01:11:15Brilliant!

01:11:16A masterstroke,

01:11:17Ms. Lewis.

01:11:19Now,

01:11:20this is my

01:11:22event.

01:11:23Please leave.

01:11:25Brian,

01:11:25I did this

01:11:26for us!

01:11:27Everything I did,

01:11:28I did for us,

01:11:29Brian!

01:11:31Chloe,

01:11:32you need help.

01:11:35These feelings

01:11:35you have for me,

01:11:37it's not love.

01:11:39It's obsession.

01:11:41Enough!

01:11:43If you don't

01:11:43want to ruin

01:11:44everything completely,

01:11:45you'll come

01:11:45with me right

01:11:46now.

01:11:47No!

01:11:49Right now!

01:11:51No!

01:11:52Brian!

01:11:52No!

01:11:52Laura!

01:11:59This isn't

01:11:59over!

01:12:00Get out of me!

01:12:02What is this

01:12:03for?

01:12:03You hear me?

01:12:06What is going

01:12:07on here?

01:12:08Did they finally

01:12:09expose Laura's

01:12:10lies?

01:12:11Shepard Group.

01:12:12They're the new

01:12:12partner that's

01:12:13partnering up with

01:12:14Lewis Group

01:12:14for Maplewood.

01:12:16They're handling

01:12:16all future

01:12:17construction projects.

01:12:18That can't be!

01:12:20What about us?

01:12:21That was our project!

01:12:22Remember,

01:12:22Laura teamed up

01:12:23with Brian.

01:12:24Harrison Group

01:12:25is practically out.

01:12:26We have no chance.

01:12:27We can't give up

01:12:28that easily.

01:12:30Remember,

01:12:31Ian Lewis himself

01:12:31appointed me

01:12:32as general manager.

01:12:34In a few days,

01:12:34he promised that

01:12:35he would let us

01:12:36meet with a new heir.

01:12:37You're right.

01:12:38If we can just

01:12:39meet with a new heir,

01:12:40we can bypass

01:12:40the Shepards

01:12:41and meet directly

01:12:42with the Lewis Group.

01:12:43We just have to

01:12:44play their little game

01:12:45and see who comes

01:12:46out on top.

01:12:48That's right.

01:12:51Vice Presidents,

01:12:53allow me to

01:12:54introduce my

01:12:55associate,

01:12:56Brian Shepard.

01:12:57I'm sure

01:12:58I've mentioned him

01:12:59before.

01:13:00Mr. Shepard,

01:13:01it's finally a pleasure

01:13:01to meet you.

01:13:03We've looked into

01:13:03your company's

01:13:05financial review.

01:13:07Very impressive.

01:13:09Thank you, bud.

01:13:10A large part

01:13:11of that success

01:13:12is thanks to

01:13:13Ms. Lewis.

01:13:13No.

01:13:15She practically

01:13:15saved me

01:13:16from disaster

01:13:17three times over now.

01:13:19Brian,

01:13:19you can just

01:13:20call me Laura.

01:13:22Ms. Lewis'

01:13:23recommendation

01:13:23is very telling,

01:13:25Mr. Shepard.

01:13:26Perhaps today

01:13:27clarifies everything.

01:13:29Mr. Shepard,

01:13:30this opportunity

01:13:31is going.

01:13:33Seize it.

01:13:35A woman like Laura

01:13:36is not easy to find.

01:13:38Thank you for

01:13:38your kind words,

01:13:39Mr. Vice President.

01:13:40Did Laura send you

01:13:49to kill me?

01:13:50Laura?

01:13:52Hardly.

01:13:53I'm Ian Lewis,

01:13:54CEO and rightful

01:13:56heir of the Lewis Group.

01:13:59So you're Laura's uncle?

01:14:01In the flesh.

01:14:03So Laura really is

01:14:05your niece?

01:14:06Yes,

01:14:07little Laura.

01:14:08She just threw away

01:14:09her birthright

01:14:10about two,

01:14:11three years ago.

01:14:12Ran off and married

01:14:13a nobody

01:14:14from Maplewood.

01:14:15I think he was

01:14:16a Harrison.

01:14:17Now Laura's got

01:14:18the VPs

01:14:19and Mr. Yates

01:14:19on her side.

01:14:21Did you hear

01:14:21she's throwing

01:14:21a banquet in a few

01:14:22days to announce

01:14:23her official takeover?

01:14:25And we can't

01:14:25let that happen,

01:14:26can we, my dear?

01:14:28If you're Ian Lewis,

01:14:29wouldn't you have

01:14:30the family ring?

01:14:31Well, my dear,

01:14:33that's where you

01:14:33come in, Miss Duke.

01:14:34we need you

01:14:35to relinquish

01:14:36my ring.

01:14:38What if I,

01:14:39what if I fail?

01:14:40My family is already

01:14:41ruined.

01:14:43Yes, you are

01:14:43in a spot of bother,

01:14:45I must say.

01:14:46But,

01:14:47if successful,

01:14:48I guarantee

01:14:49that you

01:14:49and the Duke family

01:14:51will get back

01:14:52everything you've lost.

01:14:54Laura's got the VPs

01:14:55and Brian on her side.

01:14:56How can I possibly

01:14:57get the ring?

01:14:58There is a way,

01:14:59you know,

01:15:00that we can make

01:15:01Laura relinquish

01:15:03and give up

01:15:04that ring

01:15:04willingly.

01:15:07Laura, my dear,

01:15:08welcome.

01:15:10Uncle Ian,

01:15:11it's so good

01:15:12to see you.

01:15:16Laura.

01:15:17It's so good

01:15:17to see you.

01:15:18And you,

01:15:19it's been

01:15:19too long,

01:15:21two,

01:15:22three years perhaps.

01:15:24How have you been?

01:15:25I've been well,

01:15:26Uncle Ian.

01:15:26Thank you for asking.

01:15:29I see you've been busy

01:15:30keeping Lewis Group afloat.

01:15:33Yes.

01:15:33Kind of been easy.

01:15:34Indeed.

01:15:35Somebody had to.

01:15:36I mean,

01:15:37after you left me

01:15:38with everything to do,

01:15:39without a safe pair of hands,

01:15:40I hate to think

01:15:41it would have happened

01:15:42to the company.

01:15:43Actually,

01:15:44Uncle Ian,

01:15:45from what I've heard,

01:15:47you've lost billions

01:15:48with some

01:15:49questionable

01:15:50investment decisions.

01:15:52Yes.

01:15:53Minor mistakes.

01:15:54Minor.

01:15:55Don't worry,

01:15:56Uncle Ian.

01:15:57I won't hold it

01:15:57against you.

01:15:59Good.

01:16:00Well,

01:16:01cheers to you

01:16:02coming back here

01:16:03and

01:16:04the Lewis Group.

01:16:07Oh!

01:16:08I'm so sorry,

01:16:10Laura.

01:16:11How clumsy of me.

01:16:12No,

01:16:13no worries,

01:16:14Uncle Ian.

01:16:14I,

01:16:15I'll just go

01:16:16to the restroom

01:16:17and get cleaned up.

01:16:19Of course.

01:16:20Right away,

01:16:21just down to the left.

01:16:25Use it wisely.

01:16:30Oh,

01:16:30I will.

01:16:45Hey,

01:16:45Laura.

01:16:46How's that?

01:16:47Hello,

01:16:48Brian.

01:16:49Your little girlfriend

01:16:50is with me now.

01:16:51Chloe,

01:16:51how in the hell

01:16:53did you get

01:16:54Laura's phone?

01:16:55Let's just say

01:16:56that I have my ways.

01:16:58Listen,

01:16:59Chloe,

01:17:00don't hurt her.

01:17:02Please.

01:17:03I'll do anything.

01:17:05Come to the abandoned

01:17:07warehouse

01:17:08in the eastern suburbs.

01:17:10Now.

01:17:11Don't tell anyone

01:17:12if you want her alive.

01:17:14Well,

01:17:17you certainly

01:17:18do have your ways.

01:17:23Oh,

01:17:23thank goodness

01:17:24you've cleared up.

01:17:24I am sorry.

01:17:25How clumsy.

01:17:26And don't forget

01:17:27your phone.

01:17:28I retrieved it for you.

01:17:30I'm going to be in.

01:17:31Lovely to see you again.

01:17:32Yeah.

01:17:33I guess

01:17:33I'll see you the day

01:17:34after tomorrow

01:17:35at the banquet.

01:17:36At the banquet.

01:17:39I'll see you then.

01:17:40Will do.

01:17:41Looking forward to it.

01:17:44Laura!

01:17:46Laura!

01:17:46Where are you?

01:17:48Laura!

01:17:50Laura!

01:17:51Where are you?

01:17:53God,

01:17:53Laura!

01:17:54Laura,

01:17:55where are you?

01:17:56Laura!

01:18:01Gotcha.

01:18:04You weren't expecting

01:18:05that, were you?

01:18:14Finally.

01:18:17Looks like

01:18:18your little boyfriend

01:18:18got turned around.

01:18:20What the?

01:18:21Laura,

01:18:21where are you?

01:18:21Laura?

01:18:22Laura?

01:18:23Go shut your mouth.

01:18:25Chloe,

01:18:26what have you done?

01:18:28You out of your mind?

01:18:29Out of my mind?

01:18:31You're the one

01:18:31that left me

01:18:32for that tramp

01:18:33and destroyed my life!

01:18:34That's not true.

01:18:35You're the one

01:18:36who messed up!

01:18:37Ryan!

01:18:38Laura!

01:18:41Stay where you are.

01:18:42Better come alone.

01:18:46Better come alone.

01:18:48Shut this knife,

01:18:50Chloe.

01:18:50This is insane!

01:18:52Insane?

01:18:53I did this for us,

01:18:54Brian!

01:18:55We were meant

01:18:56to be together.

01:18:57Oh my God.

01:18:58Us?

01:18:59You've gone crazy

01:19:00and you're out of here.

01:19:02Chloe,

01:19:03kidnapping

01:19:03is a very

01:19:05serious event.

01:19:06They're going to lock you

01:19:07up for years!

01:19:09You think I care

01:19:10about jail time?

01:19:12All I care about

01:19:12is tearing YouTube apart.

01:19:14You don't deserve him.

01:19:16What you've done,

01:19:18you've destroyed my life,

01:19:20my company,

01:19:21everything.

01:19:23Now I'm going to

01:19:24destroy your life.

01:19:26Give me

01:19:26the family ring now.

01:19:29Give it to me!

01:19:30This is about the ring.

01:19:32Did my Uncle Ian

01:19:34put you up to this?

01:19:36You know, Chloe,

01:19:38trying to kill me.

01:19:39That's foolish.

01:19:42Because who do you think

01:19:43is going to win?

01:19:45You,

01:19:46that little knife,

01:19:48or

01:19:48me,

01:19:51with something

01:19:51a little bit more

01:19:52persuasive.

01:20:00Freeze!

01:20:02Don't move, anyone.

01:20:05Don't move.

01:20:06You're about to be

01:20:08arrested for kidnapping.

01:20:10Miss Lewis,

01:20:11having fun without me.

01:20:13I'm hurt.

01:20:15Brian,

01:20:16are you hurt?

01:20:18No, I'm okay.

01:20:20I'm okay.

01:20:22Tell me, Chloe,

01:20:23who put you up

01:20:26to this, Chloe?

01:20:27Why should I tell you?

01:20:29You're going to kill me anyway.

01:20:30Anyway,

01:20:30Chloe,

01:20:30I don't have a problem

01:20:33wrong with you.

01:20:34But if you don't talk,

01:20:37your beloved Duke Industries

01:20:39might run into some.

01:20:41Oh, I'm recording everything,

01:20:43Miss Lewis.

01:20:44So the choice is yours,

01:20:46Chloe.

01:20:47Talk,

01:20:48or face the consequences.

01:20:50Fine.

01:20:51It was Ian Lewis.

01:20:52He,

01:20:53he said he'd help Duke Industries

01:20:55if I kept you away

01:20:56from the bank room today.

01:20:56Did you get all of that,

01:21:00Mr. Yates?

01:21:01I'm recording everything,

01:21:02Miss Lewis.

01:21:05Oh, every word,

01:21:07Miss Lewis.

01:21:08Are you ready to play a game,

01:21:10Brian?

01:21:20This is crazy.

01:21:22Are we really sure

01:21:22we can do this?

01:21:23All these big companies here,

01:21:24it's crazy.

01:21:25Absolutely.

01:21:27The Lewis Group

01:21:27is under new leadership.

01:21:29We can talk to the heiress herself.

01:21:31Exactly.

01:21:32We just need to make sure

01:21:33we make a good impression

01:21:34on the new heir.

01:21:36There's Ian Lewis now.

01:21:38You can introduce us.

01:21:39Let's go.

01:21:39Yeah.

01:21:42Hello, Ian Lewis.

01:21:43I'm Amber Smith.

01:21:44We spoke on the phone

01:21:45the other day.

01:21:46This is Ben Harrison

01:21:47from Harrison Group.

01:21:48How do you doing?

01:21:49We're the company that-

01:21:50Yes, I know who you are.

01:21:52Miss Smith,

01:21:52you're the one

01:21:53who exposed Laura's

01:21:54little drama.

01:21:55Now look,

01:21:56I'm not here

01:21:56for idle chatter.

01:22:02Good evening,

01:22:03ladies and gentlemen.

01:22:03Could I ask you all

01:22:04to be seated, please?

01:22:08The moment

01:22:09you've all been waiting for.

01:22:11Tonight marks

01:22:12a new chapter

01:22:12in the life

01:22:13of the Lewis Group.

01:22:14A night where

01:22:15the rightful heir

01:22:16takes their place.

01:22:17Would you please

01:22:18join me

01:22:19in welcoming

01:22:20the heir

01:22:21to the Lewis Group,

01:22:22Miss Laura Lewis.

01:22:24Look, everybody,

01:22:25attention.

01:22:26Attention, please.

01:22:29There's been

01:22:29a recent development

01:22:31of some tragedy.

01:22:34I just got notice

01:22:35from a phone call

01:22:36a couple of minutes ago

01:22:37that Laura

01:22:38has been in a car accident.

01:22:41And tragically,

01:22:42she hasn't made it.

01:22:44She has not survived.

01:22:45I've been in a car accident.

01:22:47What?

01:22:49Laura Lewis is dead?

01:22:51It doesn't matter now.

01:22:52She's gone.

01:22:53Mr. Lewis,

01:22:54is this new...

01:22:55A tragic turn of events,

01:22:56Mr. Yates.

01:22:57But rest assured,

01:22:59the Lewis Group

01:22:59will continue

01:23:00under my competent leadership.

01:23:04Hold on!

01:23:05Who said that I'm dead?

01:23:08Laura!

01:23:13I don't understand.

01:23:15What's happening?

01:23:17Laura?

01:23:18But...

01:23:19weren't you...

01:23:20My apologies

01:23:21for the delay, everyone.

01:23:23There seems to be some

01:23:25misunderstanding.

01:23:27Laura, what are you doing here?

01:23:28You've got to stop this.

01:23:29If you upset the Lewis family anymore,

01:23:31we're all doomed.

01:23:32I'll say this once.

01:23:33Back off, Ben.

01:23:34Thank you for coming, everyone.

01:23:42As I'm sure you know,

01:23:44tonight,

01:23:45I officially

01:23:46reclaim my title

01:23:48as the CEO

01:23:50of Lewis Group.

01:23:53Perhaps

01:23:54you could make some room for me,

01:23:57Uncle Ian.

01:23:58impossible.

01:24:00How are you still alive?

01:24:01Well, clearly,

01:24:02I am alive

01:24:02and well,

01:24:03so why don't we get this started?

01:24:06No.

01:24:07You're not

01:24:07the rightful heir.

01:24:09You gave that away

01:24:10when you married

01:24:11Ben Harrison.

01:24:13Uncle Ian,

01:24:14is that seriously

01:24:14your argument

01:24:15that you have

01:24:16that I got married

01:24:16too quickly?

01:24:18Well,

01:24:19you went off to Maplewood

01:24:20three years ago

01:24:20and married a stranger

01:24:21and left me

01:24:23to work tirelessly

01:24:24keeping the company together.

01:24:26Uncle Ian,

01:24:27retire.

01:24:28Enjoy

01:24:29your retirement.

01:24:31Lewis Group

01:24:31will be perfectly fine

01:24:32without you.

01:24:33No.

01:24:34There can only be

01:24:35one heir

01:24:36and that's me.

01:24:38And the rightful heir

01:24:39has possession

01:24:40of this.

01:24:42You think a ring

01:24:43makes an heir?

01:24:45You're even more foolish

01:24:46than I could have

01:24:47ever imagined.

01:24:49Give that back to me.

01:24:51This.

01:24:52Yes.

01:24:53You think some

01:24:54shiny gold thing

01:24:55makes you the heir?

01:24:57Give it back.

01:24:58True leadership

01:25:00is about earning

01:25:02the respect

01:25:03of those around you.

01:25:05Not some stupid ring.

01:25:08Oh, my ring?

01:25:09What have you done?

01:25:10Where is it?

01:25:13My ring?

01:25:15Now,

01:25:16everyone,

01:25:16if I could have

01:25:17your attention.

01:25:18How dare you?

01:25:19Let me show you

01:25:20how a true

01:25:21heir
