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

00:00:09This contract is mine.

00:00:12To give or take away as I see fit.

00:00:15Don't be ridiculous. This is insane.

00:00:18Who do you think you are?

00:00:19Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.

00:00:22Security! She's lost a mind.

00:00:24This is a disaster!

00:00:26Ben, this contract was supposed to be

00:00:29my birthday present to you, but since

00:00:31you clearly don't deserve it.

00:00:48Sir,

00:00:49our stock is being shorted aggressively.

00:00:52We're about to hit the limit down.

00:00:54What the hell is going on here?

00:00:57Half of you came from major investment banks.

00:01:00Our stock is about to crash,

00:01:02and you're telling me there's nothing we can do.

00:01:04Sir, this is a coordinated attack

00:01:07from multiple investment funds.

00:01:09They're shorting us simultaneously.

00:01:11There is nothing we can do.

00:01:13Sir,

00:01:14what are our next steps?

00:01:19Well,

00:01:20looks like Shepard Guild might be bankrupt

00:01:23by lunchtime.

00:01:26Hey, this is a promise of you.

00:01:30Excuse me, ma'am.

00:01:32Could you hold on a cleaning for just a couple minutes?

00:01:34Mr. Shepard,

00:01:36building a public company in just five years?

00:01:40That's impressive.

00:01:41But,

00:01:42losing your cool over a little market turbulence?

00:01:47That seems out of character for you.

00:01:49Do I know yet?

00:01:50Wait, what are you doing?

00:01:55What are you doing?

00:01:57You can't do this.

00:01:57You're just a cleaner.

00:01:59Don't be messing with our company funds.

00:02:01This is incredible!

00:02:03What's going on?

00:02:05The shortening attempt.

00:02:06It's failing.

00:02:08The price is holding.

00:02:09The price is reaching today's opening value.

00:02:17We met before.

00:02:19They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.

00:02:21Hold on.

00:02:22Tell me,

00:02:23how could I ever repay you for this?

00:02:25If the opportunity ever arises,

00:02:28you could

00:02:29give your next contract

00:02:32for construction

00:02:33to Harrison Group.

00:02:35Okay.

00:02:39Jason,

00:02:41can we have fine

00:02:42now?

00:02:52Mr. Yates?

00:02:54What,

00:02:55only two bodyguards this time?

00:02:57You're not going soft

00:02:58on me, are you?

00:02:59No, ma'am.

00:03:00I just thought you might like

00:03:01discreet today.

00:03:03Now, listen,

00:03:04everyone is waiting in New York

00:03:06for you to claim your inheritance

00:03:07as CEO of the Lewis Group.

00:03:08Mr. Yates,

00:03:09you know that my investigations here

00:03:11aren't finished.

00:03:13Ma'am,

00:03:13I still don't understand

00:03:14why you've kept your identity a secret

00:03:16and why you've married

00:03:17this Ben Harrison fellow.

00:03:18Look,

00:03:19today is Ben's birthday.

00:03:21Anything we need to discuss,

00:03:22we can do it some other time.

00:03:24Ma'am,

00:03:25it really is time

00:03:26for you to accept your inheritance.

00:03:29Because what I want

00:03:29is a simple life

00:03:31with Ben.

00:03:33Ma'am,

00:03:34at least

00:03:36do me a favor

00:03:37and let Toby walk you

00:03:38up to the house

00:03:38for my sake.

00:03:49Divorce papers.

00:03:50Sign it.

00:03:51Why?

00:03:59You are not worthy

00:04:00of my son anymore.

00:04:02The Harrison Group

00:04:03is practically

00:04:03a local celebrity now,

00:04:05especially since it's landed

00:04:06a $100 million contract

00:04:08with the Shepard Group.

00:04:10And you,

00:04:11you're just a cleaner.

00:04:13The truth is, Laura,

00:04:15I've wanted a divorce

00:04:16for a very long time.

00:04:17I need a wife

00:04:18who reflects my status.

00:04:20I secured

00:04:21that $100 million contract.

00:04:23Oh, you.

00:04:25A cleaning woman

00:04:26handing out

00:04:27million-dollar deals.

00:04:28Don't make me laugh.

00:04:32I did.

00:04:33It was my present

00:04:34to Ben

00:04:35for his birthday.

00:04:36I was the one

00:04:37who got Brian Harrison

00:04:38to give Ben that deal.

00:04:40What are you doing here?

00:04:42Clearly,

00:04:43Ben has found himself

00:04:44a woman more suitable

00:04:45for the Harrison family.

00:04:46Amber's family

00:04:47is practically

00:04:47a local royalty.

00:04:49Local royalty.

00:04:51A small-town rich person

00:04:53is royalty.

00:04:54And what qualifications

00:04:55do you have to judge,

00:04:56Miss Cleaner?

00:04:57Your resume boasts

00:04:58supermarket cashier

00:04:59and dinner waitress

00:05:00alongside janitor,

00:05:01doesn't it, Ben?

00:05:05What's going on?

00:05:07Is this why

00:05:07you want a divorce?

00:05:09Because of her?

00:05:10Oh, please.

00:05:11I've spent years

00:05:12building Harrison Group.

00:05:14You're still a cleaner.

00:05:15We just grew apart,

00:05:16that's all.

00:05:17Crone apart.

00:05:20No.

00:05:22No, I won't sign

00:05:24any agreement, Ben.

00:05:27I won't sign

00:05:28anything.

00:05:30Huh.

00:05:31Money is a motivator,

00:05:32isn't it?

00:05:33Ben.

00:05:35All right.

00:05:36Here.

00:05:36A hundred thousand dollars.

00:05:38Open up a small shop

00:05:39or something like that.

00:05:41A hundred thousand dollars.

00:05:43I was the one

00:05:45that helped you

00:05:46make Harrison Group

00:05:47what it is today.

00:05:48Do you have any idea

00:05:49how much money

00:05:50I've brought in for you?

00:05:51Don't be ridiculous.

00:05:53You've never done anything

00:05:54for Ben's success.

00:05:56This is our

00:05:56active charity, George.

00:05:58Here.

00:05:59A million dollars.

00:06:00Take this.

00:06:01You just want more money,

00:06:02don't you?

00:06:03Just leave

00:06:04and never see Ben again.

00:06:07I never expected

00:06:08my three years

00:06:10of devotion

00:06:11to end like this

00:06:12since

00:06:13none of you

00:06:15respect me.

00:06:17A cleaning lady

00:06:18threatening us.

00:06:19I'm so scared.

00:06:22Just leave.

00:06:23You already make

00:06:24this house stink.

00:06:24Thank God she's gone.

00:06:33Go to Redden's to her.

00:06:37Sir?

00:06:39Laura Lewis' information.

00:06:44She's Ben Harrison's wife.

00:06:46No wonder why

00:06:47she wanted us to partner.

00:06:48Actually, sir,

00:06:49Ben Harrison just divorced her.

00:06:52Divorced her?

00:06:53Wait a minute.

00:06:56Don't you remember?

00:06:58She's the one

00:06:59who helped us

00:06:59with the Smith contract

00:07:01three years ago.

00:07:02Yeah.

00:07:03She saved our hiding there.

00:07:05Remember?

00:07:06Why would Ben Harrison

00:07:08dump someone

00:07:08who just got him

00:07:09a hundred million dollar contract?

00:07:12I don't know.

00:07:14Let's get to the bottom of this.

00:07:18Hey!

00:07:19What are you doing?

00:07:20Let go of me!

00:07:21You attacked Amber!

00:07:22Apologize this instant!

00:07:27Stealing from the Harrisons.

00:07:29We gave you

00:07:29a generous divorce settlement.

00:07:31You refused it.

00:07:32And now you're stealing.

00:07:33She couldn't afford it.

00:07:35You're a thief.

00:07:36That's mine!

00:07:44Give it back!

00:07:44Hey!

00:07:45Hey!

00:07:45Listen up!

00:07:48Laura?

00:07:49I want to say thank you properly

00:07:51for saving Shepard Group.

00:07:52It's really no worries,

00:07:55Mr. Shepard,

00:07:56but I'm just going through

00:07:58a divorce.

00:07:59You see, it's...

00:08:00Who are you?

00:08:01Laura's new squeeze.

00:08:03Excuse me.

00:08:04Do you know who I am?

00:08:05Is this true?

00:08:06You hooked up with this man

00:08:07while you were married

00:08:08to my son?

00:08:09Shame on you!

00:08:10Mr. Shepard, I...

00:08:11For your information,

00:08:12my name is Brian Shepard.

00:08:14I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.

00:08:17Oh, please.

00:08:18A big shot like Brian Shepard

00:08:19wouldn't be caught dead

00:08:20with a cleaner.

00:08:21You really don't recognize him,

00:08:22do you, Amber?

00:08:24That's really interesting

00:08:25considering I thought

00:08:26you were the one

00:08:27that secured

00:08:27that contract for Ben.

00:08:29That's ridiculous.

00:08:31He doesn't look like that.

00:08:33My ring.

00:08:34Jason, give it back to Miss Lewis.

00:08:35Oh, hey!

00:08:36What are you doing?

00:08:40Laura,

00:08:40let's get you out of here.

00:08:42Now.

00:08:43Hold on a minute, Laura.

00:08:44Who the heck is this man?

00:08:45Have you been sneaking around?

00:08:47It's all right, ma'am.

00:08:49This is none of your business.

00:08:50All rabbs and bodies.

00:08:52You're not going anywhere

00:08:53until you tell us

00:08:54what's going on.

00:08:55We are the Harrisons.

00:08:57You can't just

00:08:57waltz in here and take her.

00:08:59Harrison,

00:09:00compared to the Shepard Group,

00:09:01you're nobody.

00:09:02Now go back.

00:09:03What?

00:09:04Are you saying

00:09:04that is Brian Shepard?

00:09:06That's a lie!

00:09:07Don't you dare

00:09:07walk away from me, Laura!

00:09:09You come back here

00:09:09and explain yourself.

00:09:11Don't you take another

00:09:11step towards my son, Laura!

00:09:15Laura,

00:09:16does Ben even know

00:09:17you were the one

00:09:18who secured

00:09:18the $100 million deal?

00:09:20Let's just say

00:09:21that

00:09:21Ben underestimated me.

00:09:25I don't feel good

00:09:25about going through

00:09:26the signing event.

00:09:28After how they treated you,

00:09:30maybe we should cancel it?

00:09:32No!

00:09:32Um,

00:09:34no,

00:09:34the event

00:09:35will proceed.

00:10:59business if it

00:11:00gets you on the head.

00:11:01A fancy dress

00:11:02doesn't make you

00:11:03high society, honey.

00:11:04Just get out!

00:11:05Don't tell me

00:11:06you've come looking

00:11:06for another rich man

00:11:07to play mistress for.

00:11:09You should've taken

00:11:09my $100,000 offer.

00:11:11Oh, Ben,

00:11:12do you really think

00:11:13that you can sign

00:11:14this contract

00:11:14without me?

00:11:16Laura,

00:11:16this is really

00:11:17important for me.

00:11:18Do not ruin this,

00:11:19okay?

00:11:19You don't belong here.

00:11:22Just get out!

00:11:23Oh.

00:11:28That's what you get.

00:11:29this contract

00:11:35is mine

00:11:37to give

00:11:38or take away

00:11:39as I see fit.

00:11:41Don't be ridiculous.

00:11:42This is insane.

00:11:43Who do you think you are?

00:11:44Yeah, put that down.

00:11:45You have no idea

00:11:46what you're doing.

00:11:47Security!

00:11:48She's lost a mind!

00:11:50This is a disaster!

00:11:51Ben,

00:11:52this contract

00:11:54was supposed to be

00:11:55my birthday present to you,

00:11:56but since

00:11:56you clearly

00:11:58don't deserve it.

00:12:00Bess!

00:12:04Bess!

00:12:06Bess!

00:12:06You really think

00:12:25ripping up that contract

00:12:26is going to help?

00:12:27You're so silly, Laura.

00:12:29Oh, please, honey.

00:12:30You couldn't explain

00:12:31business to a cleaning lady.

00:12:33Security!

00:12:33Get this woman out of here

00:12:34before she makes

00:12:35another mess.

00:12:36I was the one

00:12:37that started this deal

00:12:38with the shepherds.

00:12:40And after careful

00:12:41consideration,

00:12:43I don't think

00:12:44the Harrison family

00:12:45is worthy

00:12:46of working

00:12:47with the shepherds.

00:12:48You really think

00:12:49that the shepherd group

00:12:50and I

00:12:50could be torn up

00:12:51by something

00:12:51that you've done?

00:12:53You have no authority here.

00:12:54Of course,

00:12:55she has the authority.

00:12:55That's the man

00:13:03that Laura went

00:13:04with the other day.

00:13:05What is he doing here?

00:13:06Mr. Shepard?

00:13:07How does he know her?

00:13:08Is that really

00:13:09Brian Shepard?

00:13:10Laura,

00:13:11are you all right?

00:13:14Mr. Shepard,

00:13:15I can assure you,

00:13:16I don't even know

00:13:17this woman.

00:13:17There must be

00:13:18some sort of

00:13:18misunderstanding.

00:13:19There's no

00:13:20misunderstanding here,

00:13:21Mr. Harrison.

00:13:22This contract

00:13:23with Shepard group

00:13:24is officially terminated.

00:13:26Effective immediately.

00:13:29Wait a minute.

00:13:30This contract,

00:13:31I thought you said

00:13:31you got it.

00:13:32It's her.

00:13:34She ruined the contract.

00:13:35You are his mistress,

00:13:36aren't you?

00:13:37An affair?

00:13:38She had an affair

00:13:40with that man

00:13:41behind my son's back?

00:13:43Mom, please,

00:13:44it's okay.

00:13:44This man is...

00:13:45Don't touch me.

00:13:47That woman

00:13:48destroyed your career

00:13:49in front of everyone,

00:13:50has an affair

00:13:50and you just

00:13:51stand there?

00:13:52You're a disgrace.

00:13:53an adulterer.

00:13:54You deserve to be

00:13:55a...

00:13:55Shut up!

00:13:58Mr. Shepard,

00:13:59I apologize

00:14:00for this whole mess,

00:14:01but I can assure you

00:14:02this woman has

00:14:03tricked you.

00:14:04Tricked?

00:14:06Why don't you

00:14:07answer a question

00:14:07yourself,

00:14:09Ben?

00:14:10What was my name

00:14:11before we got married?

00:14:14Laura Lewis,

00:14:15right?

00:14:16Lewis group?

00:14:17The financial giants?

00:14:19There's no way

00:14:20a Lewis is connected

00:14:22to this.

00:14:22That's crazy.

00:14:25There's no way

00:14:26you're related

00:14:27to the Lewis family name.

00:14:28That's absurd.

00:14:29It's...

00:14:30It's...

00:14:31It's absurd!

00:14:33A high society heiress

00:14:35wouldn't waste

00:14:35their time

00:14:36in Maplewood.

00:14:37Yeah.

00:14:37Yeah, it's a lie.

00:14:38It's a lie.

00:14:39This woman

00:14:39was a waitress

00:14:40when I met her.

00:14:41In fact,

00:14:41I saved her

00:14:42from a robbery

00:14:43three years ago.

00:14:45She's nothing special.

00:14:46She only married me

00:14:47out of gratitude.

00:14:47I was

00:14:49just

00:14:49a waitress.

00:14:51How convenient

00:14:52for your story, Ben.

00:14:53First time I met her,

00:14:55she was indeed

00:14:55a waitress at the diner.

00:14:57Okay, listen up, everybody.

00:14:58When I met her,

00:15:00I'd only just

00:15:00started my business.

00:15:02Mm-hmm.

00:15:02Now look at me.

00:15:03I'm signing

00:15:03multi-million dollar contracts.

00:15:05Look at her.

00:15:07Still just a cleaner.

00:15:08Mr. Shepard,

00:15:10that woman

00:15:10is my son's ex-wife.

00:15:12She's doing all this

00:15:13out of spite.

00:15:14She's lying,

00:15:15Mr. Shepard.

00:15:16She's just a cleaning lady

00:15:17for your business,

00:15:18isn't she?

00:15:21Let's make something clear.

00:15:24I was the one

00:15:25behind Harrison Group's success.

00:15:28I used my resources

00:15:30to help my ex-husband,

00:15:32but all he saw me as

00:15:33was the maid.

00:15:34Don't lie.

00:15:36You were never good enough

00:15:37for Ben

00:15:37when you married him.

00:15:38Oops.

00:15:39That roof

00:15:40was built with lies.

00:15:42Kathy,

00:15:42you never respected me.

00:15:45And Ben?

00:15:46Dumping me

00:15:47the second you thought

00:15:47you were successful

00:15:48on your own.

00:15:49And the cheating.

00:15:51I think you're blaming

00:15:52the wrong person.

00:15:55You were not good enough

00:15:56for Ben then,

00:15:57and you're certainly

00:15:57not good enough

00:15:58for him now.

00:15:59If you'd prefer

00:16:00to believe

00:16:01a liar's story,

00:16:04then the truth,

00:16:05Kathy.

00:16:06Consider this

00:16:07my resignation

00:16:07from the Harrisons.

00:16:09From everything.

00:16:12Hello.

00:16:15Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:16:16Laura,

00:16:16you think you can just

00:16:17walk in here

00:16:17and, you know,

00:16:18ruin everything

00:16:18and then just walk out

00:16:19like nothing happened?

00:16:20I don't think so.

00:16:21You're a cleaner.

00:16:23You're a cleaner

00:16:23that cleans toilets.

00:16:25Nobody cares about you.

00:16:26Cleaning toilets or not,

00:16:28at least I have

00:16:28my self-respect.

00:16:30I don't need

00:16:32a fancy title

00:16:33or a rich husband

00:16:36to feel important.

00:16:39No, I think

00:16:40there has been

00:16:40some sort of

00:16:41misunderstanding.

00:16:42I think all jobs

00:16:43are important.

00:16:43Right, Mom?

00:16:44Ben, what are you doing?

00:16:46But I don't think

00:16:47that a janitor

00:16:49should have some sort

00:16:50of influence

00:16:50over a deal

00:16:51as big as this.

00:16:52A janitor.

00:16:53Well,

00:16:54why don't we ask

00:16:55Miss Smith

00:16:56exactly how she landed

00:16:58that collaboration

00:17:00with Shepard?

00:17:02You did claim

00:17:03to have been the one

00:17:04that secured the deal,

00:17:06weren't you, Miss Smith?

00:17:07Mr. Shepard,

00:17:08it's all a lie.

00:17:10This woman,

00:17:11Laura,

00:17:12she's just a gold digger

00:17:13trying to trick you.

00:17:15I,

00:17:15but, well...

00:17:16A lie, you say?

00:17:18Miss Smith,

00:17:19I believe you mentioned

00:17:20securing this contract

00:17:21for Harrison Group,

00:17:21but I don't recognize you.

00:17:24Is this true,

00:17:25Miss Smith?

00:17:28Miss Lewis has helped me

00:17:29on several occasions.

00:17:31This contract

00:17:32was my way

00:17:33of showing my appreciation.

00:17:35But,

00:17:36the contract?

00:17:37I mean,

00:17:37Laura tore it up.

00:17:39So,

00:17:39can't we just

00:17:40print another one

00:17:41and get this

00:17:42signing ceremony underway?

00:17:44Reprinted,

00:17:44Mr. Harrison.

00:17:46Perhaps you haven't

00:17:47been paying attention

00:17:47without Miss Lewis

00:17:49involved.

00:17:50I wouldn't even

00:17:51consider

00:17:52partnering with

00:17:53your company.

00:17:56Today,

00:17:57I want to make it clear.

00:18:00Shepard Group

00:18:00has no plans

00:18:01to partner with

00:18:02Harrison Group

00:18:03in the future.

00:18:06Miss Smith,

00:18:07you lied to us.

00:18:09You destroyed everything.

00:18:11What?

00:18:12No,

00:18:12it's a misunderstanding.

00:18:13I can explain.

00:18:15Lewis?

00:18:16Lewis family group?

00:18:17This can't be.

00:18:19Believe what you want,

00:18:20Beth.

00:18:22Lewis group will be

00:18:22holding a massive

00:18:24investment meeting

00:18:25later this week.

00:18:26Three of our vice presidents

00:18:29will be here

00:18:29in Maplewood.

00:18:31And I'm sure you can ask them

00:18:32if you still have any doubts

00:18:34about who

00:18:34I am.

00:18:38Everyone,

00:18:39listen to me.

00:18:40Shepard Group

00:18:41will not be partnering

00:18:42with Harrison.

00:18:43A man who can't keep

00:18:46his vows to his wife

00:18:47cannot be trusted

00:18:48to keep his word

00:18:50on a contract.

00:18:51The charade is over,

00:18:52Mr. Harrison.

00:18:54Everyone here

00:18:55deserves to see the truth.

00:18:58Miss Lewis,

00:19:00shall we take this

00:19:01conversation now,

00:19:02sorry?

00:19:08Help!

00:19:09Mom!

00:19:10Someone get a doctor!

00:19:12Mom!

00:19:12It seems

00:19:13your night

00:19:14has taken

00:19:15quite the turn,

00:19:17Mr. Shepard.

00:19:18Indeed.

00:19:20Perhaps it's

00:19:21best to leave them to it.

00:19:30What?

00:19:30What now?

00:19:35Mom,

00:19:36this is not

00:19:37all on me.

00:19:38Not on you!

00:19:39I was trying to help.

00:19:41She cheated on you

00:19:42with Shepard,

00:19:43flaunted their affair.

00:19:45Exactly.

00:19:46And those dresses?

00:19:48Who could afford

00:19:49those on a janitor's salary?

00:19:51Miss Smith,

00:19:52how could you do this?

00:19:53We trusted you completely.

00:19:55No, no.

00:19:57I'd got Ben the deal.

00:19:58I had no idea

00:19:59Shepard would have

00:20:00fall for Laura.

00:20:02She's a liar!

00:20:03Oh, stop it, Amber.

00:20:05You lied to us

00:20:05just as much as she did.

00:20:07Lied?

00:20:09You're on my side!

00:20:11And anyways,

00:20:12I have a plan.

00:20:13The Shepards

00:20:14are no one special.

00:20:15We can expose

00:20:16Laura and all her lies.

00:20:18Go national.

00:20:19We can make

00:20:20ourselves a household name.

00:20:23Now,

00:20:23if you'll excuse me,

00:20:25I have a very important

00:20:26phone call to make.

00:20:31Thank you so much

00:20:33for tonight,

00:20:34Mr. Shepard.

00:20:34Thank you as well

00:20:35for standing up for me.

00:20:37It's alright, Laura.

00:20:38You deserve the credit

00:20:39for all your hard work.

00:20:41Can I ask you something?

00:20:42Do you have any place

00:20:43to stay tonight?

00:20:44Maybe a hotel?

00:20:45Don't...

00:20:46Don't worry about me,

00:20:47Mr. Shepard.

00:20:47I'll be fine.

00:20:49Um...

00:20:49Excuse me,

00:20:50you can just drop me off.

00:20:51Actually, Laura...

00:20:52Actually, Laura,

00:20:54there is something else.

00:20:56Would you consider

00:20:56going out for dinner sometime?

00:20:58Just casually, of course.

00:21:00Mr. Shepard, are...

00:21:01Are you asking me out?

00:21:04Please, call me Brian.

00:21:07And yes,

00:21:09technically,

00:21:10you're single now.

00:21:12Yes,

00:21:13that may be true,

00:21:14but going out

00:21:15with a newly divorced

00:21:17ex-cleaner

00:21:18isn't exactly

00:21:19proper.

00:21:23Proper?

00:21:24Laura,

00:21:26I don't give a damn

00:21:27about appearances.

00:21:29Tonight,

00:21:29I saw your intelligence

00:21:31and your strength.

00:21:33Those are qualities

00:21:34I truly admire.

00:21:36So what do you say?

00:21:38Dinner?

00:21:40Just two people

00:21:41getting to know each other.

00:21:46I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.

00:21:48I actually have

00:21:49another appointment

00:21:49tonight,

00:21:50so I...

00:21:51I can't...

00:21:51Wait, Laura...

00:21:52Just here is fine.

00:21:56Laura?

00:22:02Laura,

00:22:02who is it?

00:22:04Laura, wait!

00:22:06Jason,

00:22:07find out who owns

00:22:08that car

00:22:09and do it fast.

00:22:10Ian Lewis?

00:22:19Who is this?

00:22:20It's Amber Smith.

00:22:21Mr. Lewis?

00:22:23I'm sorry for the late call,

00:22:25but I believe I have

00:22:25some urgent information

00:22:27about your family.

00:22:28I don't know

00:22:29who you are,

00:22:30Miss Smith.

00:22:31How did you get

00:22:31this number?

00:22:33Don't worry about

00:22:33that right now.

00:22:35I believe I know

00:22:35someone impersonating

00:22:36Laura Lewis.

00:22:38Someone I know

00:22:39very well.

00:22:41Impersonating my niece?

00:22:43And where is

00:22:45this fake Laura?

00:22:47Right here

00:22:47in Maplewood.

00:22:48And let me tell you,

00:22:50she's causing

00:22:50quite a scene.

00:22:52Well,

00:22:53what is she doing

00:22:54exactly?

00:22:56And more to the point,

00:22:58what do you want

00:22:59from me?

00:23:00In the next few days,

00:23:02the Lewis Group

00:23:03will hold

00:23:03an investment meeting,

00:23:04right?

00:23:06I want to meet

00:23:07with the Vice Presidents.

00:23:08All will be revealed then.

00:23:09Very well.

00:23:11I'll have my secretary

00:23:13arrange a meeting.

00:23:14But be warned,

00:23:15if this is a waste

00:23:16of my time,

00:23:17I...

00:23:17It won't be.

00:23:19Trust me,

00:23:19Mr. Lewis.

00:23:20Thank you,

00:23:21Mr.

00:23:21That little rascal,

00:23:29Laura.

00:23:31I wonder what

00:23:32she's up to

00:23:32now.

00:23:36That car belongs

00:23:37to Mr. Yeats,

00:23:38the Lewis family

00:23:39butler.

00:23:41Oh.

00:23:42Lewis family?

00:23:44That's interesting.

00:23:46Could you be connected

00:23:47to them somehow?

00:23:49I'm not sure.

00:23:52Brian!

00:23:53There you are.

00:23:55I've missed you.

00:23:56Chloe.

00:23:57What are you up to?

00:23:59Chloe,

00:24:00what are you doing here?

00:24:02What do you mean?

00:24:03Can't I visit the man

00:24:04I love?

00:24:05We ended things

00:24:06for a reason.

00:24:07It was just one

00:24:08teensy mistake.

00:24:10I was...

00:24:10I was a little bit tipsy.

00:24:12Doesn't everyone

00:24:13deserve a second chance?

00:24:14Teensy mistake,

00:24:15you said?

00:24:16You cheated on me.

00:24:17Is this your new

00:24:22fling?

00:24:24Ex-divorcey.

00:24:26Used to clean floor.

00:24:27It's quite the catch,

00:24:28aren't you saying?

00:24:29Look,

00:24:30my relationship

00:24:31with her

00:24:31is none of your

00:24:32business

00:24:33and don't you dare

00:24:35talk about her

00:24:35like that.

00:24:37Please.

00:24:38An ex-cleaner

00:24:39turned social climber

00:24:40latching onto

00:24:41a wealthy businessman.

00:24:43It's a classic story.

00:24:44That's enough.

00:24:45I'll get the hell

00:24:46out of my office.

00:24:47You want to be

00:24:48careful, Brian.

00:24:49Duke Industries

00:24:50still holds a lot

00:24:51of weight in Maplewood.

00:24:53If you want

00:24:53Shepard Group

00:24:54to stay afloat,

00:24:56you ought to

00:24:56be more careful.

00:25:00Seems like

00:25:01you've got more

00:25:01on your plate

00:25:02than Laura's

00:25:02secrets now.

00:25:09This is it.

00:25:10The Lewis Group

00:25:11Vice Presidents

00:25:11are on the top floor.

00:25:13Once I'm done

00:25:13speaking with them,

00:25:14I'll have Ben's

00:25:15company rolling

00:25:16and business

00:25:16investments.

00:25:18I'll go speak

00:25:18with them first

00:25:19and then I'll

00:25:20introduce you.

00:25:22Well, well, well.

00:25:23Look who it is.

00:25:25What a surprise.

00:25:26Did Brian

00:25:27teach you already?

00:25:28That's none

00:25:30of your business.

00:25:32Now, move aside, please.

00:25:33Laura,

00:25:34just what do you think

00:25:35you're doing,

00:25:35you street rat?

00:25:37You really think

00:25:37you can just ruin

00:25:38my events again?

00:25:39Haven't you ruined

00:25:39my life enough?

00:25:40Don't you have any shame?

00:25:41If you'll excuse me,

00:25:43I have an important

00:25:44meeting to get to.

00:25:45Oh, the nerve.

00:25:47After everything

00:25:47you've done,

00:25:48you think you can

00:25:49just waltz in here

00:25:50and manipulate them

00:25:51too?

00:25:52Seriously?

00:25:53I think you need

00:25:54to reconsider

00:25:54exactly who's

00:25:55manipulating who

00:25:56here.

00:25:58Oh, that's gold.

00:25:59You really think

00:26:00that they're gonna

00:26:00let you in, Laura?

00:26:01Please,

00:26:02you're no one

00:26:03compared to me.

00:26:04You don't deserve

00:26:04to be here.

00:26:06The only ones

00:26:07who don't belong

00:26:08here are you three.

00:26:10Okay.

00:26:11And you,

00:26:12idiot,

00:26:13believing every lie

00:26:14that she tells you,

00:26:14wake up,

00:26:16then.

00:26:16Oh, Laura.

00:26:18Laura, come on.

00:26:19Why do you always

00:26:19pull this on me?

00:26:21I mean, seriously,

00:26:22can't you just let me

00:26:23enjoy one of my events

00:26:24for once?

00:26:24I know what this is.

00:26:27So stupid.

00:26:28Oh, such a trap.

00:26:31Amber spoke directly

00:26:32with the CEO.

00:26:33He invited her

00:26:34to meet with the VPs

00:26:35before the main meeting.

00:26:36Yeah, Amber got me

00:26:38a partnership

00:26:38with the Lewis Group.

00:26:40And unlike some people,

00:26:41I have a real invitation.

00:26:44Well,

00:26:45before you all

00:26:46start celebrating,

00:26:48why don't you

00:26:49take a look

00:26:49at this?

00:26:53Oh, that's rich.

00:26:55You may have

00:26:55Brian Shepard fooled,

00:26:56but you can't fool me.

00:26:58I spoke to

00:26:58Ian Lewis himself,

00:27:00CEO of Lewis Group.

00:27:02Speaking of Brian,

00:27:03where is he right now?

00:27:05You mean my uncle?

00:27:08Ian, don't be ridiculous.

00:27:10Ian Lewis personally

00:27:12gave me this invitation

00:27:13himself.

00:27:15And besides,

00:27:16this looks fake.

00:27:18She's a liar.

00:27:20This is a personal

00:27:22invitation for Mr. Yates

00:27:24himself.

00:27:25It grants me access

00:27:26to the VIP elevator,

00:27:27which leads straight

00:27:28to the vice presidential suite.

00:27:30She's lying.

00:27:31They don't have a VIP elevator

00:27:33in this hotel.

00:27:37Is there a special

00:27:38elevator for VIPs

00:27:39in this hotel?

00:27:41Not that I know of.

00:27:43See?

00:27:43She's lying.

00:27:45There you have it,

00:27:46Laura.

00:27:46Even the hotel staff

00:27:47can spot a fake.

00:27:48Go on,

00:27:49get lost before

00:27:50things get worse.

00:27:53Here,

00:27:54take this one.

00:27:55Lead me to the

00:27:56vice presidents.

00:27:57You have

00:27:58no

00:27:59idea

00:28:00what you just

00:28:01did.

00:28:02There

00:28:02be consequences.

00:28:05Besides,

00:28:07if you have

00:28:08this relationship

00:28:08with Ian Lewis

00:28:09that you claim

00:28:10to have,

00:28:11why don't you

00:28:12just ask him

00:28:13to get the two

00:28:14of them

00:28:15an invitation?

00:28:17Security!

00:28:18We need this woman

00:28:18removed immediately.

00:28:19She is harassing me.

00:28:20We're done

00:28:21with your games,

00:28:21Laura.

00:28:22You're just a fraud.

00:28:23Ma'am,

00:28:24please move me.

00:28:24What?

00:28:25Hold on!

00:28:25Brian Shepard?

00:28:30You think money

00:28:31buys you the right

00:28:32to walk all over

00:28:33people?

00:28:33Well,

00:28:33it doesn't.

00:28:34Yeah,

00:28:35wasn't enough

00:28:35to kick us out

00:28:36of Maplewood,

00:28:36was it,

00:28:37huh?

00:28:37What other plans

00:28:38do you have

00:28:39to destroy this

00:28:39time?

00:28:40Get you out?

00:28:41After what you

00:28:42did to Laura,

00:28:43you had it coming.

00:28:44Don't play dumb.

00:28:46We know exactly

00:28:46what's been happening

00:28:47here.

00:28:48How long has

00:28:48this little affair

00:28:49been going on?

00:28:50You've been sleeping

00:28:51with her since

00:28:51she was married

00:28:52to my son.

00:28:53Hold on a second.

00:28:55An affair?

00:28:56You think Laura

00:28:57and I?

00:28:58You people

00:28:59are unbelievable.

00:29:03Mr. Carter,

00:29:04get down here

00:29:05ASAP.

00:29:06We have a situation.

00:29:08What,

00:29:08you think you can

00:29:08just boss the

00:29:09manager around

00:29:10now?

00:29:10Is that it?

00:29:11Well,

00:29:11stick around

00:29:11and watch you

00:29:12crash and burn.

00:29:13Miss Lewis,

00:29:14apologies for the

00:29:15delay.

00:29:15How can I help

00:29:16you this evening?

00:29:17Thank you,

00:29:18Mr. Carter,

00:29:18for getting down

00:29:19here so quickly.

00:29:20It seems

00:29:21there's a

00:29:22misunderstanding.

00:29:23These people

00:29:24don't think

00:29:25that I belong

00:29:26here.

00:29:27Well,

00:29:27Mr. Carter,

00:29:27I can assure you

00:29:28this woman

00:29:28is a cleaner.

00:29:30A cleaner?

00:29:30Nonsense.

00:29:31I personally

00:29:32greeted Miss Lewis

00:29:33upon her arrival

00:29:34in Maplewood

00:29:34three years ago.

00:29:36Exactly.

00:29:37Lewis Group,

00:29:39my company,

00:29:41has some

00:29:42major investments

00:29:43planned here

00:29:44in Maplewood.

00:29:45I was just

00:29:45here investigating

00:29:46potential business

00:29:47opportunities.

00:29:48No,

00:29:49this woman

00:29:49doesn't know

00:29:50the difference

00:29:50between business

00:29:51and a hole

00:29:52in the ground.

00:29:53She's been

00:29:53this way

00:29:54since my son

00:29:54divorced her.

00:29:55She's insane.

00:29:56Actually,

00:29:57I've met Laura

00:29:58three years ago

00:29:59at the coffee shop.

00:30:00She helped

00:30:01secure a profitable

00:30:02investment

00:30:03for Shepard Group.

00:30:04No,

00:30:05it's a lie.

00:30:07Mr. Shepard,

00:30:07she's tricking you

00:30:08too.

00:30:11You know,

00:30:12it's exhausting

00:30:13trying to argue

00:30:14with people

00:30:15who forget

00:30:15who helped them.

00:30:18Mr. Carter,

00:30:19would you mind

00:30:19showing me

00:30:20to the VIP elevator?

00:30:21Wait,

00:30:21is that

00:30:22why you're

00:30:22covering for her?

00:30:23Because of the affair?

00:30:24Because she slept

00:30:25with you?

00:30:26Excuse me,

00:30:26who are you

00:30:27and how dare

00:30:28you speak

00:30:28to Miss Lewis

00:30:29that way?

00:30:30Not this.

00:30:30That's enough.

00:30:32Have you

00:30:32to embarrass yourself

00:30:33enough?

00:30:33This is

00:30:34Lewis Group property.

00:30:35Behave

00:30:36or I'll call security.

00:30:37But she doesn't

00:30:38even have

00:30:38a VIP entrance access.

00:30:41She shouldn't

00:30:42be here.

00:30:43Since you're

00:30:43having trouble

00:30:44understanding,

00:30:45Ben,

00:30:46let me make it

00:30:46clear.

00:30:47This hotel

00:30:48is owned

00:30:49by the Lewis family.

00:30:51It's

00:30:51mine

00:30:52to come

00:30:53or go

00:30:54as I please.

00:30:59Thank you

00:31:00for stepping in,

00:31:00Brian.

00:31:01I owe you

00:31:02one.

00:31:03We'll talk

00:31:04about this later.

00:31:06Well,

00:31:07it seems

00:31:07divorcing a powerful

00:31:08woman wasn't

00:31:09the best decision,

00:31:10Mr. Harrison.

00:31:15Come in!

00:31:19Excuse me,

00:31:21Vice Presidents.

00:31:22I'm Amber Smith,

00:31:24General Manager

00:31:25of the Lewis Group

00:31:25Maplewood Branch.

00:31:27I believe Ian Lewis

00:31:28told you about

00:31:28our meeting today?

00:31:30Maplewood Branch.

00:31:32Our records

00:31:33don't show

00:31:34any Maplewood Branch,

00:31:36Miss Smith.

00:31:37Are you sure

00:31:38you haven't gotten

00:31:38something mixed up?

00:31:41Ian Lewis,

00:31:42Mr. Lewis,

00:31:44reassured me

00:31:45that today

00:31:46we would discuss,

00:31:47well,

00:31:48expansion plans.

00:31:49Oh,

00:31:50expansion plans?

00:31:52Miss Smith,

00:31:53a decision like that

00:31:54wouldn't be taken

00:31:55without board approval.

00:31:57And frankly,

00:31:58we haven't heard

00:31:58anything about

00:31:59Maplewood Branch.

00:32:01But,

00:32:02Ian Lewis

00:32:03assured me that-

00:32:04Miss Smith,

00:32:05we have a very important

00:32:06guest arriving soon.

00:32:08Perhaps you'd like

00:32:08to schedule a follow-up

00:32:09meeting with one

00:32:10of our staff?

00:32:11Maybe I can stay

00:32:12for this guest

00:32:13and offer some

00:32:13local incident?

00:32:14Miss Smith,

00:32:14we'd like you to leave.

00:32:16If you don't,

00:32:17we'll call security.

00:32:22Hey,

00:32:24stop there.

00:32:24This elevator

00:32:25is a VIP only.

00:32:27Back, please.

00:32:28Of course.

00:32:29My apologies.

00:32:36Laura?

00:32:39Vice Presidents,

00:32:40it's so good

00:32:41to see all of you again.

00:32:42Miss Lewis,

00:32:45it's been too long.

00:32:46Your return

00:32:47is a lifesaver,

00:32:48Miss Lewis.

00:32:49The Lewis group

00:32:50has floundered

00:32:51under your uncle's,

00:32:52well,

00:32:52shall we say,

00:32:53unconventional leadership.

00:32:55The board

00:32:56are begging you

00:32:57to come back,

00:32:58Miss Lewis.

00:33:00Well,

00:33:00please sit.

00:33:02Yes,

00:33:02well,

00:33:03it is time for me

00:33:04to get my career

00:33:05back on track.

00:33:06We've got

00:33:07a meeting planned,

00:33:08a big one,

00:33:09in just a few days.

00:33:10local powerhouses

00:33:13and smaller players

00:33:15too.

00:33:16They'll all be there

00:33:16in one spot.

00:33:17Miss Lewis,

00:33:19we met with an

00:33:20Amber Smith.

00:33:22She claimed

00:33:23your uncle

00:33:24appointed her

00:33:25general manager

00:33:26of a Maplewood branch

00:33:27for the Lewis group.

00:33:29She said that.

00:33:30Did she?

00:33:31Well,

00:33:31Miss Smith

00:33:31is a liar.

00:33:33There is

00:33:33no Maplewood branch,

00:33:35at least not yet.

00:33:36She lied so blatantly.

00:33:38It was,

00:33:38it's unbelievable.

00:33:39Well,

00:33:40don't worry.

00:33:41I found a much

00:33:42more suitable partner.

00:33:46Shepherd group.

00:33:47Shepherd group?

00:33:48Their rise to a public company

00:33:50has been impressive.

00:33:50Do you have anything

00:33:53to do with that?

00:33:55So,

00:33:55what happens now

00:33:56with this

00:33:57Amber Smith?

00:33:59Oh,

00:33:59don't worry

00:34:01about Amber.

00:34:03I've got plans

00:34:04for her.

00:34:07Miss Lewis,

00:34:09consider this

00:34:10your official

00:34:11invitation

00:34:12to the meeting

00:34:13from us.

00:34:16Cheers.

00:34:17Cheers.

00:34:17I'm not leaving.

00:34:28What are you talking about?

00:34:29No, come on.

00:34:30Wait!

00:34:30I'm Amber Smith.

00:34:32I'm the Lewis group

00:34:32manager of Maplewood branch.

00:34:33What are you doing?

00:34:34These are my guests.

00:34:35Yeah,

00:34:35that's right.

00:34:35Tell them who we are.

00:34:36Yes,

00:34:37we were waiting

00:34:37for Miss Smith.

00:34:40Lewis group,

00:34:41Maplewood branch?

00:34:42No such thing,

00:34:43ma'am.

00:34:43And frankly,

00:34:44I'm not interested

00:34:45in your act.

00:34:46Of course.

00:34:48Laura!

00:34:49She's probably

00:34:50sleeping with

00:34:50the manager as well.

00:34:51That's how she

00:34:52gets away with

00:34:52everything.

00:34:53You underestimate

00:34:54her, Kathy.

00:34:55She's probably

00:34:56sleeping with

00:34:56all three

00:34:56vice presidents.

00:34:58No way

00:34:59a girl like her

00:34:59could get into

00:35:00a hotel like this.

00:35:01Careful

00:35:01with your words.

00:35:03Both of you.

00:35:04Acquisitions like

00:35:05that can get

00:35:06you in serious

00:35:07trouble.

00:35:09Look who

00:35:10can't even

00:35:10get into a meeting

00:35:11whilst I secure

00:35:12three with

00:35:13all the

00:35:13vice presidents.

00:35:14And let's not

00:35:15forget the

00:35:15mystery guest

00:35:16that they're

00:35:16bringing to

00:35:17Maplewood.

00:35:18Looks like

00:35:19she used you

00:35:19and tossed

00:35:20you aside.

00:35:21Used me?

00:35:22Unlike some

00:35:22people.

00:35:23I don't mind

00:35:24being helpful.

00:35:25You're so

00:35:26stupid.

00:35:27She threw

00:35:27you away

00:35:28like yesterday's

00:35:29trash.

00:35:30Don't worry,

00:35:30Brian.

00:35:31You deserve

00:35:32better.

00:35:33And let's

00:35:33not forget,

00:35:34I'm the new

00:35:35Maplewood branch

00:35:35manager of

00:35:36Lewis group,

00:35:37appointed by

00:35:37the CEO of

00:35:38Lewis group

00:35:39themselves,

00:35:40Ian Lewis.

00:35:41New branch

00:35:42manager,

00:35:43huh?

00:35:43Interesting.

00:35:45Laura Lewis?

00:35:46What are you

00:35:47doing here?

00:35:48Get out of

00:35:48here!

00:35:49You claim to

00:35:50be the mystery

00:35:50guest.

00:35:52Don't play

00:35:52games,

00:35:53Laura.

00:35:53I was

00:35:54formally invited

00:35:55by Lewis group

00:35:55themselves to

00:35:56the investment

00:35:57meeting.

00:35:58Only the top

00:35:59companies get

00:35:59those.

00:36:01Looks like

00:36:01you're all out

00:36:01of luck.

00:46:48things you said

00:47:17That's

00:47:18impossible.

00:47:19I was

00:47:20invited by

00:47:20the CEO

00:47:21himself.

00:47:24Unfortunately,

00:47:41This doesn't

00:47:41real.

00:47:42It's

00:48:40You really

00:48:40think that

00:49:41time.

00:49:51If I can't

00:50:13have

00:50:13Brian,

00:50:14neither can

00:50:15you.

00:50:15The Duke family has more influence than you think.

00:50:19Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.

00:50:23Uncle Jones, how are you? Good, how are you?

00:50:27I need your help with something. What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.

00:50:31It's Brian. Who's that woman?

00:50:35I thought you were... She's a con woman.

00:50:39She actually used to be a cleaner in his company. What?

00:50:43Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?

00:50:47Well, she's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.

00:50:51What are you planning?

00:50:55I want to destroy Shepard Group.

00:50:59Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.

00:51:03I had no idea she would be so...

00:51:07intense.

00:51:09What do you mean? You so should have taken her up on her offer.

00:51:15I mean, you guys are just...

00:51:17Power couple.

00:51:19I see what you're doing.

00:51:21Power couple, you say?

00:51:23More like a disaster waiting to happen.

00:51:27Anyway, shall we take a seat?

00:51:31Actually, Brian, my seat is...

00:51:35It's up there.

00:51:37Really?

00:51:39She doesn't deserve to sit there.

00:51:41Excuse me.

00:51:42This is my VIP invitation.

00:51:45I can sit wherever I like.

00:51:48Hey, what do you think you're doing?

00:51:50This is signed by all three VPs of Louis Group.

00:51:53Where did you get this?

00:51:55Who did you have to sleep with?

00:51:57That's enough.

00:51:59This is getting us nowhere.

00:52:01Laura is my guest.

00:52:03And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.

00:52:08Got it?

00:52:09Mr. Shepard, what do you see in that woman?

00:52:13Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.

00:52:17She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.

00:52:21What more could you ask for?

00:52:23That's a good question.

00:52:25Not much, actually.

00:52:27Honesty.

00:52:29That's what I want.

00:52:31And love.

00:52:33Things that clearly, Chloe has no idea.

00:52:36I said I was sorry.

00:52:39What more do you want?

00:52:41I've watched Chloe grow up.

00:52:43She's like a daughter to me.

00:52:45I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.

00:52:51One more chance, Brian.

00:52:53Let's forget all this nonsense.

00:52:55Do it, Mr. Shepard.

00:52:57Propose.

00:52:58Right here.

00:52:59Right now.

00:53:01Brian?

00:53:05Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?

00:53:09By forcing a ring on someone?

00:53:12Do it.

00:53:13Or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.

00:53:21Don't you dare.

00:53:23You're humiliating yourself.

00:53:25How dare you?

00:53:27Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?

00:53:29Yes.

00:53:31I like her.

00:53:33But I can't imagine someone like her, interesting in me.

00:53:41The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today, without her.

00:53:45Why would you choose someone like her?

00:53:47Why not?

00:53:48Exactly!

00:53:49This woman is trouble!

00:53:51She doesn't belong here!

00:53:52Throw her out!

00:53:53You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me.

00:53:59Interesting turn of events.

00:54:01Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.

00:54:05Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress Laura Lewis?

00:54:12You know what, maybe you're right, Chloe.

00:54:16How ridiculous!

00:54:18Is that what you've been telling everyone?

00:54:20I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but...

00:54:26Wow!

00:54:27Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?

00:54:31You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that!

00:54:33That's enough!

00:54:35You don't get to talk here!

00:54:37You got mad, Shepard!

00:54:38You dare to go against Miss Duke!

00:54:40And the same applies to everyone else here.

00:54:42Anyone who insults Laura leaves with a black eye.

00:54:47He's willing to defend the Duke for her.

00:54:49What kind of charm does she have?

00:54:51I want to be careful, Brian.

00:54:52Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.

00:54:56Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?

00:55:00The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not Shepard Group.

00:55:10Lewis Group RS?

00:55:12You?

00:55:13Don't make me laugh.

00:55:15Security!

00:55:16Remove these two impostors from the premises.

00:55:19Wait, Uncle Jones.

00:55:21Give Brian another chance.

00:55:23Choose, Brian.

00:55:25Me and the future you deserve, or this...

00:55:28Fraud!

00:55:29Chloe, I have everything I ever wanted.

00:55:35Right here.

00:55:36And I wouldn't trade for all the power the Duke's hold of Maplewood.

00:55:40Fine.

00:55:47Short the stock of the Shepard Group.

00:55:48What?

00:55:51You forced my hand, Brian.

00:55:53Now Shepard Group is ruined.

00:55:55The Duke family.

00:55:56They can't be serious.

00:55:58Shepard Group is doomed.

00:55:59Brian.

00:56:00You don't have to do this for me.

00:56:02Laura.

00:56:03I will never let anyone bully you.

00:56:04Let alone them.

00:56:05Thank you, Brian.

00:56:06For...

00:56:07For believing in me.

00:56:08For...

00:56:09Protecting me.

00:56:10Now it's my turn.

00:56:11To protect you.

00:56:12Listen carefully.

00:56:13Listen carefully.

00:56:27I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.

00:56:32At all costs.

00:56:34Don't let it drop.

00:56:36Even one cent.

00:56:38Do you understand?

00:56:40Well...

00:56:42Award winning performance, Laura.

00:56:45But you can't possibly control the stock market.

00:56:48Wanna put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?

00:56:52If...

00:56:54The Shepard stock holds...

00:56:57For the next five minutes...

00:57:01You owe me a public apology.

00:57:10Deal.

00:57:14Well...

00:57:15Looks like your five minutes is up.

00:57:19Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.

00:57:26What the?

00:57:27The Shepard Group stock prices?

00:57:29It's going up!

00:57:31This can't be happening.

00:57:32It must be a coincidence.

00:57:34Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?

00:57:42There was a huge investment.

00:57:44We couldn't compete.

00:57:45Shepard stock price is being heavily supported.

00:57:48How did you do this?

00:57:50Like I said, Chloe.

00:57:53I'm...

00:57:55Laura Lewis.

00:57:57No, you're not.

00:57:58You're just some cleaner.

00:57:59You don't have access to billions.

00:58:01Well...

00:58:04I think it's time for my apology.

00:58:11No.

00:58:12I think it's time for my apology.

00:58:14There is no way I'm apologizing to you!

00:58:17If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?

00:58:21Chloe?

00:58:22The truth is...

00:58:24Everyone here...

00:58:26Has seen you be a bully.

00:58:28And a coward.

00:58:30And now...

00:58:32A sore loser.

00:58:34This is so humiliating for her.

00:58:37How did she manage that?

00:58:39Maybe she really is a Lewis.

00:58:41Apologize to Miss Lewis!

00:58:43Shut up!

00:58:44Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that!

00:58:47Don't forget, the Duke family own half of Maplewood!

00:58:51There you go as a Lewis.

00:58:53Let's get out of here.

00:58:55Hold on.

00:58:57This...

00:58:59Is where I belong.

00:59:01And that...

00:59:03Is my chair.

00:59:05You can't go there!

00:59:06That is the VIP section!

00:59:08Only those invited by the Lewis Group Vice Presidents get to sit there.

00:59:12But...

00:59:13Like I said, Chloe...

00:59:14That's my seat.

00:59:21I had a rumor floating around a few days ago.

00:59:24Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepard, wasn't it?

00:59:33Are you planning another outburst, Laura?

00:59:35Is this how you charm all your men?

00:59:37Shall we?

00:59:38My pleasure.

00:59:40What are you doing?

00:59:43Let go.

00:59:44It doesn't matter what happens.

00:59:46I choose to stay by Laura's side.

00:59:49Let's go.

00:59:51Don't be absurd!

00:59:52That seat is reserved for a very important guest!

00:59:56Someone so esteemed, even the Vice Presidents have to bow low!

01:00:02And...

01:00:04How exactly, Mr. Jones?

01:00:08Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?

01:00:12Wait!

01:00:13That's Peter Young!

01:00:14Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group!

01:00:20Ask Peter Young!

01:00:21He decides which...

01:00:22Peter Young!

01:00:23It's Chloe Duke!

01:00:24Head of Duke Industries!

01:00:25So glad you could join us!

01:00:26Why is everyone standing around?

01:00:27It's her!

01:00:28She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat!

01:00:32It's embarrassing!

01:00:33That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest!

01:00:37Specifically the family heir!

01:00:39Please get off the stage!

01:00:41Oh yes!

01:00:42Mr. Young, was it?

01:00:45I think I remember you!

01:00:46You manage my family's investments!

01:00:49Don't pretend like you know what's going on!

01:00:53Please get off the stage!

01:00:55That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir!

01:00:57I need to make one thing crystal clear!

01:01:03I am the heir of the Lewis family!

01:01:13This is ridiculous!

01:01:15You?

01:01:16The Lewis heir?

01:01:17Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?

01:01:20You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this!

01:01:23Exactly!

01:01:24We ran a background check on her and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group!

01:01:30And before that, a cashier in my famous supermarket!

01:01:33See Brian?

01:01:35This is who you've been chasing after!

01:01:37A liar and a cheat!

01:01:38Security!

01:01:39Get this imposter out of here!

01:01:41And everyone here is a witness!

01:01:43Why would any of you trust Laura?

01:01:46If any of you dares to harm her, you have to go through me first!

01:01:52Brian, she's just some nobody!

01:01:55She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched!

01:01:59They didn't even want her!

01:02:00What exactly do you see in her?

01:02:02Escort this imposter out of here!

01:02:04Now!

01:02:05Oh Peter!

01:02:06Peter, do you have any idea what you're doing?

01:02:17Mr. Yates!

01:02:18I'm so glad you could join us!

01:02:20Miss Lewis!

01:02:21Sorry about the delay!

01:02:22And for all the trouble you've had to put up with!

01:02:23It's no trouble, Mr. Yates!

01:02:24Luckily I haven't been alone!

01:02:25I've had the great company of my very loyal... friend!

01:02:26Wait a minute!

01:02:27She's Miss Lewis!

01:02:28Is this a joke?

01:02:29Mr. Young, you're new to the Lewis Group!

01:02:30So I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis!

01:02:31But you listened to lies without checking the facts!

01:02:32And almost called the police!

01:02:33Tell me!

01:02:34Mr. Young!

01:02:35Mr. Young!

01:02:36Who put you up to this?

01:02:37Was it my uncle, Ian Lewis?

01:02:38Yes!

01:02:39No!

01:02:40No!

01:02:41No!

01:02:42No!

01:02:43No!

01:02:44No!

01:02:45No!

01:02:46No!

01:02:47No!

01:02:48No!

01:02:49No!

01:02:50No!

01:02:51No!

01:02:52No!

01:02:53No!

01:02:54No!

01:02:55No!

01:02:56No!

01:02:57No!

01:02:58No!

01:02:59No!

01:03:00No!

01:03:01No!

01:03:02No!

01:03:03Oh oh!

01:03:04No!

01:03:05No!

01:03:06No!

01:03:07No!

01:03:08No!

01:03:09No!

01:03:10OK.

01:03:11I didn't find this fit anymore.

01:03:12You can get me up to win at this point, but what can I afford...

01:03:18Well, not in nine minutes, letting me know how yourself or not to, but, any thing regresions

01:03:25That's enough, young lady. You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis group.

01:03:33Oh, Chloe, I can't believe we're going through this again. I think you need some professional help.

01:03:40Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.

01:03:43Chloe, that's enough.

01:03:45It's ridiculous. If you were really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.

01:03:48So why don't you show it to everyone?

01:03:50Show us the ring!

01:03:55Show us the ring!

01:03:59Show us the ring!

01:04:00Who are you to make demands of me?

01:04:03I don't answer to anyone but myself.

01:04:07I don't need any of your validation.

01:04:18Vice Presidents, I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family. This woman is an imposter.

01:04:24Miss Lewis, we apologise for the delay.

01:04:27How could you just let that con woman sit there? Get her out of here!

01:04:31This seat was always for Miss Lewis. She's the special guest we've been waiting for. The investment queen. The real heir to Lewis group. Laura Lewis.

01:04:44She was a divorced host wife. A janitor. How can she?

01:04:47She can't be. It's a lie, I'm telling you. It's a lie.

01:04:51Do you think we'd lie? We run Lewis group.

01:04:55Oh, Chloe, you assaulted me earlier. And you came to this meeting to what? Sabotage it. You'll be hearing from our legal team.

01:05:07Is this true, Miss Duke? Did you try and sabotage this meeting?

01:05:14Yes, it's all true. She fooled us all. The Jews tricked us to keep Lewis group out of Maplewood and control everything themselves. I had no idea. But I'm on your side. I can give you everything you need. All the resources in Maplewood.

01:05:32Miss Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this? An eye for an eye. Since Miss Duke here loves ruining things, I'll target her precious Duke Industries. I want them bankrupt in ten minutes.

01:05:55You're bluffing. You're nobody. You'll always be a nobody. And you can't touch me.

01:06:02Then, consider this a test, Chloe. I didn't need my family's support with Shepard and I certainly don't even know.

01:06:11Chloe, you dug your own grave.

01:06:14You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family with just the Shepard group? Please.

01:06:23We'll see.

01:06:25We'll see.

01:06:28Dad?

01:06:30Slow down. What are you talking about?

01:06:34No.

01:06:36It's impossible.

01:06:38Chloe, what have you done?

01:06:40Years of hard work. Destroyed in minutes.

01:06:46What did you do?

01:06:47Well, Chloe, isn't this what you wanted? To give me a little taste of destruction?

01:06:56This is impossible. It's impossible.

01:07:00Chloe, what have you done? The news is everywhere. Shepard's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market. They're hammering our shares.

01:07:10Are you sure it's just Shepard?

01:07:12Yes! Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato. We could go bankrupt. You've ruined everything!

01:07:19Don't worry, Mr. Duke. When your company does go bankrupt, I'll buy it. At a fire sale price. Your employees won't even be affected.

01:07:29Brilliant. A master's job, Miss Lois.

01:07:31Go off, Miss Lois.

01:07:33Now, this is my event. Please leave.

01:07:39Brian, I did this for us! Everything I did, I did for us, Brian!

01:07:46Chloe, you need help. These feelings you have for me, it's not love. It's obsession. Enough!

01:07:55If you don't want to ruin everything completely, you'll come with me. Right now.

01:08:01Luke!

01:08:02Right now!

01:08:04No! No!

01:08:05Laura!

01:08:10No!

01:08:11Laura!

01:08:12This isn't over!

01:08:14You found me!

01:08:16What is mine?

01:08:17Do you hear me?

01:08:20What is going on here?

01:08:22Did they finally expose Laura's lies?

01:08:24Shepard Group.

01:08:26They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group for Maplewood.

01:08:30They're handling all future construction projects.

01:08:32That can't be!

01:08:34What about us? That was our project!

01:08:36Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.

01:08:38Harrison Group is practically out. We have no chance.

01:08:42We can't give up that easily.

01:08:44Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager.

01:08:48In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.

01:08:50You're right. If we can just meet with the new heir, we can bypass the Shepards and meet directly with the Lewis Group.

01:08:57We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.

01:09:01That's right.

01:09:02Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.

01:09:12I'm sure I've met you.

01:09:14Mr. Shepard, finally a pleasure to meet you!

01:09:17We've looked into your company's financial review.

01:09:21Very impressive.

01:09:22Thank you. Thank you, but a large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.

01:09:28She practically saved me from disaster three times over now.

01:09:33Brian, you can just call me Laura.

01:09:35Ms. Lewis's recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.

01:09:40Perhaps today clarifies everything.

01:09:43Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is going. Seize it.

01:09:47A woman like Laura is not easy to find.

01:09:52Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.

01:10:02Did Laura send you to kill me?

01:10:04Laura? Hardly.

01:10:07I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.

01:10:13So you're Laura's uncle?

01:10:15In the flesh.

01:10:18So Laura really is your niece?

01:10:20Yes, little Laura.

01:10:22She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.

01:10:27Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.

01:10:30I think he was a Harrison.

01:10:32Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side.

01:10:35Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?

01:10:39And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?

01:10:41If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?

01:10:45Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Miss Duke. We need you to relinquish my ring.

01:10:51What if I, what if I fail? My family is already ruined.

01:10:55Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say. But if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family will get back everything you've lost.

01:11:07Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side. How can I possibly get the ring?

01:11:11There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly.

01:11:21Laura, my dear, welcome.

01:11:23Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.

01:11:30Laura.

01:11:31So good to see you.

01:11:32And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps. How have you been?

01:11:38I've been well, Uncle Ian. Thank you for asking. I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.

01:11:46Yes.

01:11:47Kind of been easy.

01:11:48Indeed, somebody had to. I mean, after you left me with everything to do, without a safe pair of hands, I hate to think it would have happened to the company.

01:11:56Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard, you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.

01:12:06Yes. Minor mistakes. Minor.

01:12:09Don't worry, Uncle Ian. I won't hold it against you.

01:12:11Good. Well, cheers to you coming back here and the Lewis Group.

01:12:20Oh, I'm so sorry, Laura. How clumsy of me.

01:12:26No, no worries, Uncle Ian. I, I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.

01:12:32Of course. Right away. Just down to the left.

01:12:41Use it wisely.

01:12:44Oh, I will.

01:12:59Hey, Laura. How's that?

01:13:01Hello, Brian. Your little girlfriend is with me now.

01:13:04Chloe, how in the hell did you get Laura's home?

01:13:09Let's just say that I have my ways.

01:13:12Listen, Chloe.

01:13:14Don't hurt her. Please.

01:13:17I'll do anything.

01:13:20Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs. Now.

01:13:25Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.

01:13:30Well, you certainly do have your ways.

01:13:33Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up. I am sorry. How clumsy.

01:13:39And don't forget your phone. I retrieved it for you.

01:13:43Thank you. I'll go again.

01:13:45Lovely to see you again.

01:13:46Yeah. I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.

01:13:50At the banquet.

01:13:51I'll see you then.

01:13:53Will do. Looking forward to it.

01:13:59Laura! Laura!

01:14:00Where are you?

01:14:02Laura!

01:14:04Laura!

01:14:05Where are you?

01:14:07God, Laura!

01:14:08Laura, where are you?

01:14:10Laura!

01:14:11Laura!

01:14:15Gotcha.

01:14:18I weren't expecting that, were you?

01:14:30Finally!

01:14:31Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.

01:14:33What the?

01:14:35Laura, where are you? Laura?

01:14:36Laura!

01:14:37Go shut your mouth.

01:14:39Chloe.

01:14:41What have you done?

01:14:42You out of your mind?

01:14:43Out of my mind!

01:14:45You were the one that left me for that tramp and destroyed my life!

01:14:48That's not true.

01:14:49You were the one who messed up!

01:14:51Brian!

01:14:52Laura!

01:14:55Stay where you are.

01:14:57Better come alone.

01:14:59Drop this knife, Chloe.

01:15:01This is insane!

01:15:03Insane?

01:15:04I did this for us, Brian!

01:15:05We were meant to be together.

01:15:09Us?

01:15:10You've gone crazy!

01:15:11And you're out of here!

01:15:13Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious event.

01:15:17They're going to lock you up for years!

01:15:20You think I care about jail time?

01:15:22All I care about is tearing you two apart.

01:15:25You don't deserve him!

01:15:27What you've done!

01:15:29You've destroyed my life!

01:15:31My company, everything!

01:15:32Now I'm going to destroy your life!

01:15:36Give me the family ring now!

01:15:39Give it to me!

01:15:41This is about the ring.

01:15:43Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?

01:15:47You know, Chloe?

01:15:49Trying to kill me.

01:15:51That's foolish.

01:15:53Because who do you think is going to win?

01:15:54You?

01:15:57That little knife?

01:15:58Or...

01:16:00Me?

01:16:02Something a little bit more persuasive.

01:16:11Freeze!

01:16:13Don't move anyone!

01:16:16Don't move!

01:16:17You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.

01:16:21Miss Lewis!

01:16:22Having fun without me?

01:16:24I'm hurt!

01:16:26Ryan!

01:16:28Are you hurt?

01:16:29No, I'm okay.

01:16:31I'm okay.

01:16:33Tell me, Chloe.

01:16:35Who put you up to this, Chloe?

01:16:38Why should I tell you?

01:16:40You're gonna kill me anyway!

01:16:42Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.

01:16:45But if you don't talk,

01:16:47your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.

01:16:52Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.

01:16:55So the choice is yours, Chloe.

01:16:58Talk, or face the consequences.

01:17:01Fine.

01:17:03It was Ian Lewis.

01:17:05He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the banker today.

01:17:08Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?

01:17:12I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.

01:17:16Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.

01:17:19Are you ready to play a game, Brian?

01:17:32This is crazy.

01:17:33Are we really sure we can do this?

01:17:34All these big companies here, it's crazy.

01:17:36Absolutely.

01:17:38The Lewis Group is under new leadership.

01:17:40We can talk to the heiress herself.

01:17:42Exactly.

01:17:43We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.

01:17:46There's Ian Lewis now.

01:17:48You can introduce ourselves, let's go.

01:17:50Yeah.

01:17:53Hello, Ian Lewis.

01:17:54I'm Amber Smith.

01:17:55We spoke on the phone the other day.

01:17:57This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.

01:17:59How do you do?

01:18:00We're the company that-

01:18:01Yes, I know who you are.

01:18:03Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.

01:18:06Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.

01:18:13Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

01:18:14Could I ask you all to be seated, please?

01:18:19The moment you've all been waiting for.

01:18:22Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.

01:18:26A night where the rightful heir takes their place.

01:18:29Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group, Miss Laura Lewis.

01:18:34Look, everybody, attention.

01:18:37Attention, please.

01:18:40There's been a recent development of some tragedy.

01:18:45I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago that Laura has been in a car accident.

01:18:52And tragically, she hasn't made it.

01:18:55She has not survived.

01:18:57What?

01:18:59Laura Lewis?

01:19:00Is this dead?

01:19:02Doesn't matter now.

01:19:03She's gone.

01:19:04Mr. Lewis, is this new-

01:19:05A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.

01:19:08But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.

01:19:14Hold on.

01:19:16Who said that I'm dead?

01:19:20Laura.

01:19:25I don't understand.

01:19:26What's happening?

01:19:28Laura?

01:19:30But, weren't you-

01:19:31My apologies for the delay, everyone.

01:19:35There seems to be some...

01:19:37Misunderstanding.

01:19:38Laura, what are you doing here?

01:19:39You gotta stop this.

01:19:40If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.

01:19:42I'll take your spots.

01:19:44Back off, Beth.

01:19:50Thank you for coming, everyone.

01:19:53As I'm sure you know, tonight, I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.

01:20:04Perhaps you could make some room for me, Uncle Ian?

01:20:09Impossible.

01:20:10How are you still alive?

01:20:12Well, clearly I am alive, and well.

01:20:14So, why don't we get this started?

01:20:16No.

01:20:17You're not the rightful heir.

01:20:20You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.

01:20:24Uncle Ian, is that seriously your art best that you have, that I got married too quickly?

01:20:28Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger and left me to work tirelessly, keeping the company together.

01:20:37Uncle Ian, retire. Enjoy your retirement.

01:20:41Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.

01:20:43No.

01:20:44There can only be one heir, and that's me. And the rightful heir has possession of this.

01:20:53You think a ring makes an heir? You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.

01:20:58Give that back to me.

01:21:01This?

01:21:02Yes.

01:21:03You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?

01:21:07Give it back.

01:21:09True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you, not some stupid ring.

01:21:17My ring? What have you done? Where is it?

01:21:24My ring?

01:21:26Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.

01:21:29How dare you!

01:21:30Now, let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.

01:21:37Park.

01:21:39Working for Constable.

01:21:40Fine.

01:21:41It was Ian Lewis.

01:21:42He said he helped you. He destroyed them. I kept you away from the bankers today.

01:21:49Oh, quite the spectacle, Miss Lewis.

01:21:52Security, escort him out.

01:21:55And Ian, don't fall over.

01:21:58It's all lies. It's all lies. Fakery.

01:22:01The truth is clear. Get him out of here. Now.

01:22:06I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.

01:22:11Turns out, reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.

01:22:17Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr. Shepherd by my side.

01:22:24And he has been a great support.

01:22:28Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.

01:22:33I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.

01:22:43Shepherd Group.

01:22:45What? Laura, hold on. This was never my idea. This was all Cathy and Amber's fault.

01:22:50I don't want a divorce.

01:22:52What? Then what are you saying? You came to me first.

01:22:54Classic Ben. Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.

01:23:00Just don't shut Harrison Group out. Just give me another chance.

01:23:04How could I shut you out? I'm just a cleaner, remember? I'm just a useless housewife. I don't have that power.

01:23:12What are you talking about? What? No, come on. Sorry. No, please. No.

01:23:20Um, Mr. Shepherd.

01:23:22Yes, Miss Lewis.

01:23:24I was wondering if...

01:23:27Maybe you wanted to grab dinner. Sometime.

01:23:32On me.

01:23:34Miss Lewis.

01:23:38I would love to.

01:23:42Okay.

01:23:43I would love to.

01:23:47I'm going to read that all.

01:23:52Yes.

01:23:54I would love to.

01:23:56I would love to read that all of my books.

01:23:59Because I have to read that.

01:24:01All right.

01:24:03I would like to read that all of my books.

01:24:05I would love to read that all of my books and books.
