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 lunchtime.
00:00:45Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:46Mr. Jason, 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 bucket 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.
00:01:15Don't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:18This is incredible.
00:01:20What's going on?
00:01:22The shorting attempt.
00:01:23It's failing.
00:01:25The price is holding.
00:01:27Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:33We met before.
00:01:34They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:37Hold on.
00:01:38Tell me, how could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:42If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:51The Harrison Group.
00:01:56Jason, can we have five now?
00:02:10Mr. Yates.
00:02:11What?
00:02:12Only two bodyguards this time?
00:02:15You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:17No, ma'am. I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:02:21Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:26Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:30Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:36Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:42Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:46Because what I want is a simple life, with Ben.
00:02:51Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house, for my sake.
00:03:07Divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:17Why?
00:03:18You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:20The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now.
00:03:23Especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:03:27The Shepard Group.
00:03:28And you?
00:03:30You're just a cleaner.
00:03:31The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:03:35I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:38I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:42You, a cleaning woman, handing out million-dollar deals.
00:03:47Don't make me laugh.
00:03:50I did!
00:03:52It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:55I was the one who got Ryan Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:57What are you doing here?
00:04:00Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:04Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:07Local royalty.
00:04:09A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:12And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:04:15Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor.
00:04:19Doesn't it, Ben?
00:04:23What's going on?
00:04:24Is this why you want a divorce?
00:04:27Because of her?
00:04:28Oh, please.
00:04:29I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:04:32You're still a cleaner.
00:04:33You just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:36Growing apart?
00:04:39No.
00:04:41No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:46I won't sign.
00:04:49Huh.
00:04:50Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:51Ben.
00:04:53Alright.
00:04:55Here.
00:04:56A hundred thousand dollars.
00:04:57Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:05:00A hundred thousand dollars.
00:05:02I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:07Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:10Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:12You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:15This is our active charity door.
00:05:17Here.
00:05:18A million dollars.
00:05:19Take this.
00:05:20You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:22Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:26I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.
00:05:32Since none of you respect me.
00:05:36A cleaning lady threatening us.
00:05:39I'm so scared.
00:05:41Just leave.
00:05:42You already make this house stink.
00:05:43Thank God she's gone.
00:05:44Go to written store.
00:05:45Sir.
00:05:46Laura Lewis' information.
00:05:47She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:05:48No wonder why she wanted us to partner again.
00:05:49Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:05:50Divorce her?
00:05:51Wait a minute.
00:05:52Don't you remember?
00:05:53Don't you remember?
00:05:54She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract for years ago.
00:05:57Yeah.
00:05:58She saved our hiding there.
00:05:59Remember?
00:06:00Why would Ben Harrison dump someone we just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:03Oh no.
00:06:05Why would Ben Harrison dump someone we just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:09Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:11Divorce her?
00:06:13Wait a minute.
00:06:15Don't you remember?
00:06:17She's the one who helped us
00:06:19with the Smith contract 3 years ago.
00:06:21Yeah.
00:06:23She saved our hiding there.
00:06:25Remember?
00:06:27Why would Ben Harrison dump someone
00:06:29when we just got him a 100 million dollar contract?
00:06:31I don't know.
00:06:33Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:06:37Hey!
00:06:39What are you doing? Let go of me!
00:06:41You attacked Amber. Apologize this instant.
00:06:47Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:49We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:06:51You refused it and now you're stealing.
00:06:53She couldn't afford it.
00:06:55You're a thief.
00:07:03That's mine! Give it back!
00:07:05That's enough!
00:07:08Laura?
00:07:09I want to say thank you properly
00:07:11for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:13It's really no worries,
00:07:15Mr. Shepard, but
00:07:17I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:19You see, it's...
00:07:20Who are you?
00:07:21Laura's new squeeze.
00:07:23Excuse me.
00:07:24Do you know who I am?
00:07:25Is this true?
00:07:26You hooked up with this man
00:07:27while you were married to my son?
00:07:29Shame on you!
00:07:30Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:31For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:07:35I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:37Oh, please.
00:07:38A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:41You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:44That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:49That's ridiculous.
00:07:51He doesn't look like that.
00:07:53My ring.
00:07:54Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:07:56Hey, what are you doing?
00:08:00Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:08:02Now.
00:08:03Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:08:04Who the heck is this man?
00:08:05Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:07It's a lie, ma'am.
00:08:09This is none of your business.
00:08:10All brown dead bodies.
00:08:12You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.
00:08:15We are the Harrisons.
00:08:17You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:19Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:08:22Now go back.
00:08:23What?
00:08:24Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:08:26That's a lie!
00:08:27Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.
00:08:29You come back here and explain yourself.
00:08:31Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!
00:08:36Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:41Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:45I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:48After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:52No!
00:08:53Um, no.
00:08:55The event will proceed.
00:08:57Besides, I'll be there.
00:09:00There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:05Who are you?
00:09:06Truly.
00:09:07You'll find out.
00:09:09Mr. Shepard.
00:09:11Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:14Mr. Gates.
00:09:15I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're gonna have a meeting.
00:09:26An investment meeting.
00:09:28One week from today.
00:09:29Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:33Because after that meeting, I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:40Oh, excellent, Miss Lewis.
00:09:42I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:44Ben Harrison.
00:09:45You're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:57After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:03Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:08Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:10Security!
00:10:11Get that woman out of here!
00:10:12We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:10:14Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:16This is a business event, after all.
00:10:19Business?
00:10:20You wouldn't know business if it hit you on the head.
00:10:23A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:10:26Just get out!
00:10:27Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:30You should've taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:32Oh, Ben.
00:10:33Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:37Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:39Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:41You don't belong here.
00:10:43Just get out!
00:10:49That's what you get.
00:10:55This contract is mine.
00:10:58To give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:02Don't be ridiculous, this is insane!
00:11:04Who do you think you are?
00:11:06Yeah, put that down.
00:11:07You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:08Security!
00:11:09She's lost a mind!
00:11:11This is a disaster!
00:11:12Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:20You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:21You're sick!
00:11:22You're sick!
00:11:23You don't deserve it!
00:11:24You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:25You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:26Oh please, honey.
00:11:27You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:34Security!
00:11:35Security!
00:11:36Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:37I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:11:39I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:11:40And after careful consideration, I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working
00:11:44with the Shepherds.
00:11:45You really think the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:11:46I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:11:47You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:11:48You have no authority here.
00:11:49Of course she has the authority.
00:11:50I'm not sure if you do that, but if you do that, you can't get the idea of the Shepherds.
00:11:51Well, you can't get the idea of my business to the Shepherds.
00:11:52You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:53Oh, please honey.
00:11:54You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:55Security!
00:11:56Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:57I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:12:02And after careful consideration, I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working
00:12:09with the Shepherds.
00:12:10You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:12:14You have no authority here.
00:12:16Of course, she has the authority.
00:12:24That's the man that Laura went with the other day. What is he doing here?
00:12:28Mr. Shepard? How does he know her?
00:12:30Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:32Laura, are you alright?
00:12:36Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman. There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:41There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:44This contract with Shepard Group is officially terminated. Effective immediately.
00:12:52Wait a minute. This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:55It's her. She ruined the contract. You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:59An affair? She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:13:05Mom, please, it's okay. This man is-
00:13:07Don't touch me. That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair and you just stand there?
00:13:13You're a disgrace. An adulterer. You deserve to be over-
00:13:17Shut up!
00:13:21Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:13:26Tricked? Why don't you answer a question yourself then?
00:13:31What was my name before we got married?
00:13:36Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:38Lewis Group? The Financial Giants?
00:13:41There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:45That's crazy. There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name. That's absurd.
00:13:52It's- it's- it's absurd!
00:13:55A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:13:59Yeah, yeah, it's a lie. It's a lie. This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:14:03In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago. She's nothing special. She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:10I was just a waitress. How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:16First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.
00:14:19Okay, listen up, everybody. When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:24Mm-hmm. Now look at me. I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts. Look at her. Still just a clear.
00:14:31Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife. She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:37She's lying, Mr. Shepard. She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:44Let's make something clear. I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:51I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:57Don't lie. You were never good enough for Ben when you married him. Oops.
00:15:02That roof was built with lies, Kathy. You never respected me.
00:15:07And Ben? Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:12And the cheating. I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:15:17You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:15:22If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy.
00:15:29Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons. From everything.
00:15:34Wait, wait, wait, wait. Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:41And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:43I don't think so. You're a cleaner. You're a cleaner that cleans toilets. Nobody cares about you.
00:15:49Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:53I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
00:16:00I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding. I think all jobs are important, right, Mom?
00:16:08Ben, what are you doing?
00:16:10But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:16:15A janitor. Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:25You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:31Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie. This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:38I... but, well...
00:16:40A lie, you're saying? Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:16:46But I don't recognize you.
00:16:48Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:52Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:55This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:59But the contract... I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:17:02So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:07Reprinted, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:09Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis involved in it.
00:17:14I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:20Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:23Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:31Miss Smith, you lied to us. You destroyed everything.
00:17:35What? No, it's a misunderstanding. I can explain.
00:17:39Lewis? Lewis Family Group? This can't be.
00:17:43Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:45Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:50Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:55And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:18:03Everyone, listen to me.
00:18:05Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
00:18:08A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:16The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:18Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:23Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:27Help!
00:18:30Mom!
00:18:31Someone get a doctor!
00:18:32Mom!
00:18:33It seems we are not hesitant.
00:18:35Quite determined, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:37Indeed.
00:18:38Perhaps it's best to let them through it.
00:18:42What? What now?
00:18:59Mom, this is not all on me.
00:19:02Not on you? I was trying to help.
00:19:05She cheated on you with Shepard, flaunted their affair.
00:19:10Exactly.
00:19:11And those dresses?
00:19:13Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:19:15Miss Smith, how could you do this?
00:19:18We trusted you completely.
00:19:20No, no.
00:19:21I'd love Ben the deal.
00:19:23I had no idea Shepard would fall for Gora.
00:19:27She's a liar.
00:19:29Stop it, Amber.
00:19:30You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:19:33Lied?
00:19:34You're on my side.
00:19:36And anyways, I have a plan.
00:19:38The Shepards are no one special.
00:19:41We can expose Laura in all her lies.
00:19:43Go national.
00:19:44We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:48Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to make.
00:19:53I'll see you later.
00:19:54I'll see you later.
00:19:55I'll see you later.
00:19:56I'll see you later.
00:19:57I'll see you later.
00:19:58Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:00Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:20:02It's alright, Laura.
00:20:04You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:20:06Can I ask you something?
00:20:07Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:20:09Maybe a hotel?
00:20:10Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:13I'll be fine.
00:20:14Excuse me.
00:20:16You can just drop me off.
00:20:17Actually, Laura.
00:20:18Actually, Laura.
00:20:19There is something else.
00:20:21Would you consider to go out for dinner sometime?
00:20:24Just casually, of course.
00:20:26Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:20:30Please, call me Brian.
00:20:33And yes, technically you're single now.
00:20:37Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:20:49Proper?
00:20:50Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:20:54Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:20:59Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:21:02So what do you say?
00:21:04Dinner?
00:21:05Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:12I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:21:13I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't.
00:21:17Wait, Laura.

00:32:57of a maplewood branch for the lewis group she said that did she well miss smith is a liar there is no

01:14:31Chloe.
01:14:32What have you done?
01:14:34Are you out of your mind?
01:14:35Out of my mind!
01:14:36You were the one that left me for that tramp and destroyed my life!
01:14:40That's not true.
01:14:41You were the one who messed up!
01:14:43Brian!
01:14:44Laura!
01:14:44Laura!
01:14:47Stay where you are.
01:14:49You better come alone.
01:14:52You shot this knife, Chloe.
01:14:53This is insane!
01:14:54Insane?
01:14:55I did this for us, Brian!
01:14:56No, no, no.
01:14:57I did this for us, Brian!
01:14:58We were meant to be together.
01:14:59Us?
01:15:00You've gone crazy!
01:15:01And you're here!
01:15:02Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious event.
01:15:03They're going to lock you up for years!
01:15:04You think I care about jail time?
01:15:05People I care about is tearing you to pardon me.
01:15:06You don't deserve him.
01:15:07What have you done?
01:15:08You've destroyed my life!
01:15:09You're covering everything!
01:15:10Now I'm gonna destroy your life.
01:15:11Forgive me.
01:15:12Your family ring now.
01:15:16Give it to me!
01:15:31This is about the ring.
01:15:32Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:15:38You know, Chloe, trying to kill me, that's foolish.
01:15:45Because who do you think is going to win?
01:15:48You, that will win, or me, with something a little bit more persuasive.
01:16:04Freeze!
01:16:05Don't move anyone.
01:16:08Don't move.
01:16:11You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.
01:16:14Miss Lewis, having fun without me?
01:16:17I'm hurt.
01:16:19Brian.
01:16:20Are you hurt?
01:16:22No, I'm okay.
01:16:26Tell me, Chloe.
01:16:28Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:16:31Why should I tell you?
01:16:33You're going to kill me anyway.
01:16:35Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:16:37But if you don't talk, your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:16:44Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:48So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:16:51Talk, or face the consequences.
01:16:54Fine.
01:16:55It was Ian Lewis.
01:16:56He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the bank room today.
01:17:00Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:17:05I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:17:09Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:17:12Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:17:14This is crazy.
01:17:26Are we really sure we can do this?
01:17:27All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:17:30Absolutely.
01:17:31The Lewis Group is under new leadership.
01:17:33We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:36Exactly.
01:17:36We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:17:39There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:42You can introduce yourself.
01:17:43Let's go.
01:17:43Yeah.
01:17:46Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:17:47I'm Amber Smith.
01:17:48We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:50This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.
01:17:52How do you do?
01:17:53We're the company that...
01:17:54Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:56Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:18:00Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:18:01Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:18:08Could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:18:12The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:18:15Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:19A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:18:22Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group,
01:18:27Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:28Look, everybody, attention.
01:18:30Attention, please.
01:18:31There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:18:39I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago
01:18:41that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:18:45And tragically, she hasn't made it.
01:18:48She has not survived.
01:18:53What?
01:18:54Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:56It doesn't matter now.
01:18:57She's gone.
01:18:58Mr. Lewis, is this new...
01:19:00It's a tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:19:03But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.
01:19:09Hold on.
01:19:10Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:14Laura.
01:19:14I don't understand.
01:19:20What's happening?
01:19:22Laura?
01:19:23But weren't you...
01:19:25My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:19:28There seems to be some...
01:19:31misunderstanding.
01:19:32Laura, what are you doing here?
01:19:33You've got to stop this.
01:19:34If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:19:37I'll say this once.
01:19:38Back off, then.
01:19:45Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:19:47As I'm sure you know,
01:19:49tonight,
01:19:50I officially reclaim my title
01:19:53as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:19:56Perhaps you could make some room for me, Uncle Ian.
01:20:04Impossible.
01:20:05How are you still alive?
01:20:06Well, clearly I am alive and well,
01:20:09so why don't we get this started?
01:20:11No.
01:20:12You're not the rightful heir.
01:20:14You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:20:16Uncle Ian, is that seriously your art best that you have
01:20:21that I got married too quickly?
01:20:24Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago
01:20:26and married a stranger
01:20:27and left me to work tirelessly,
01:20:30keeping the company together.
01:20:32Uncle Ian, retire.
01:20:34Enjoy your retirement.
01:20:36Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:20:39No.
01:20:40There can only be one heir,
01:20:42and that's me.
01:20:44And the rightful heir has possession
01:20:46of this.
01:20:48You think a ring makes an heir?
01:20:51You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:20:55Give that back to me.
01:20:57This.
01:20:58Yes.
01:20:58You think some shiny gold thing
01:21:01makes you the heir?
01:21:03Give it back.
01:21:04True leadership
01:21:05is about earning the respect
01:21:09of those around you.
01:21:11Not some stupid ring.
01:21:13Oh, I win.
01:21:14What have you done?
01:21:15Where is it?
01:21:19My ring?
01:21:20Now, everyone,
01:21:22if I could have your attention.
01:21:24I'm telling you.
01:21:25Let me show you
01:21:26how a true heir
01:21:28earns a ring like that.
01:21:32Pop.
01:21:33I'm just working.
01:21:34It's fine.
01:21:36It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:37He said he helped
01:21:39you can destroy us
01:21:40if I kept you away
01:21:40from the bankers today.
01:21:41Oh, quite the spectacle,
01:21:45Miss Lewis.
01:21:47Security,
01:21:49escort him out.
01:21:50And Ian,
01:21:51don't fall over.
01:21:53It's all lies.
01:21:54It's all lies.
01:21:54Fakery.
01:21:55It's fake news.
01:21:56The truth is clear.
01:21:56Get him out of here.
01:21:57Now.
01:21:58I owe all of you
01:22:04an apology
01:22:04for everything
01:22:06that's happened tonight.
01:22:07Turns out,
01:22:08reclaiming my birthright
01:22:09didn't go as smoothly
01:22:11as I had hoped.
01:22:13Luckily,
01:22:14these past few days,
01:22:15I've had
01:22:16Mr. Shepard
01:22:18by my side.
01:22:20And he has been
01:22:21a great support.
01:22:24Lewis Group
01:22:25has a lot
01:22:27of exciting plans
01:22:28for Maplewood.
01:22:30I'm proud
01:22:31to announce
01:22:32that
01:22:32we have secured
01:22:34a reliable
01:22:35partner.
01:22:38Shepard Group.
01:22:39What?
01:22:40Laura, hold on.
01:22:42This was never
01:22:43my idea.
01:22:44This was all
01:22:44Kathy and Amber's fault.
01:22:45I don't want a divorce.
01:22:47What?
01:22:47Then what are you saying?
01:22:49You came to me first.
01:22:50Classic Ben.
01:22:52Something goes wrong
01:22:53and you start
01:22:53pointing the fingers
01:22:54at all the women
01:22:55in your life.
01:22:56Just don't
01:22:57shut Harrison Group out.
01:22:58Just give me
01:22:59another chance.
01:23:01How could I shut you out?
01:23:02I'm just a cleaner,
01:23:04remember?
01:23:04I'm just a useless
01:23:06housewife.
01:23:07I don't have that power.
01:23:10What are you talking about?
01:23:11What?
01:23:11No, come on.
01:23:12Sorry.
01:23:12No, please, no.
01:23:15Um,
01:23:16Mr. Shepard?
01:23:17Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:23:19I was wondering
01:23:20if
01:23:20maybe you wanted
01:23:23to grab dinner
01:23:24sometime.
01:23:27On me.
01:23:29Miss Lewis,
01:23:30I would love to.
