00:00:00Ryan.

00:00:07Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.

00:00:13What the hell is going on here?

00:00:16Half of you came from major investment banks.

00:00:19Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do?

00:00:23Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.

00:00:28They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.

00:00:32Sir, what are our next steps?

00:00:38Well, looks like Shepardville might be bankrupt by lunchtime.

00:00:48Hey, this is a private station.

00:00:50Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?

00:00:53Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.

00:01:00But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.

00:01:08Do I know you?

00:01:11What are you doing?

00:01:13What are you doing?

00:01:15You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.

00:01:17You can't be messing with our company funds.

00:01:20This is incredible!

00:01:22What's going on?

00:01:24The shorting attempt. It's failing!

00:01:26The price is holding!

00:01:29Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.

00:01:36We met before.

00:01:37They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.

00:01:40Hold on.

00:01:41Tell me.

00:01:42How could I ever repay you for this?

00:01:45If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.

00:01:54Jason, get me her fight now.

00:02:11Mr. Yates!

00:02:13What, only two bodyguards this time?

00:02:16You're not going soft on me, are you?

00:02:18No, ma'am. I just thought you might like discreet today.

00:02:22Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.

00:02:28Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.

00:02:32Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret.

00:02:35And why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow?

00:02:38Look, today is Ben's birthday.

00:02:40Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.

00:02:43Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.

00:02:47Because what I want is a simple life. With Ben.

00:02:53Ma'am, at least do me a favour and let Toby walk you up to the house. For my sake.

00:03:08Divorce papers. Sign it.

00:03:10What?

00:03:16Why?

00:03:17You are not worthy of my son anymore.

00:03:19The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now.

00:03:22Especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.

00:03:26With the Shepherd Group.

00:03:27And you?

00:03:29You're just a cleaner.

00:03:30The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.

00:03:35I need a wife who reflects my status.

00:03:37I secured that $100 million contract.

00:03:41Are you? A cleaning woman?

00:03:44Handing out million dollar deals?

00:03:46Don't make me laugh.

00:03:47I did!

00:03:51It was my present to Ben for his birthday!

00:03:54I was the one who got Bryan Harrison to give Ben that deal.

00:03:58What 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?

00:04:08A small town rich person is royalty.

00:04:12And what qualifications do you have to judge, Ms. 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?

00:04:25Is 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.

00:04:33We just grew apart, that's all.

00:04:35Grown apart?

00:04:38No.

00:04:40No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.

00:04:44I won't sign anything.

00:04:47Huh.

00:04:49Money is a motivator, isn't it?

00:04:51Ben.

00:04:53Alright. Here.

00:04:55$100,000. Open up a small shop or something nice.

00:04:59$100,000.

00:05:01I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.

00:05:05Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?

00:05:09Don't be ridiculous.

00:05:11You've never done anything for Ben's success.

00:05:14This is our act of charity, Jordan.

00:05:16Here. A million dollars. Take this.

00:05:19You just want our money, don't you?

00:05:21Just leave and never see Ben again.

00:05:23I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.

00:05:30Since none of you respect me.

00:05:34A cleaning lady threatening us?

00:05:37I'm so scared.

00:05:39Just leave.

00:05:40You already make this house stink.

00:05:42Make how she's gone.

00:05:43Go to Red and Stuart.

00:05:44Sir?

00:05:45Maura Lewis' information.

00:05:47Uh.

00:05:49She's Ben Harrison's wife.

00:05:51No wonder why she wants to partner with them.

00:05:53Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.

00:05:56Divorced her?

00:05:57Wait a minute.

00:05:58Don't you remember?

00:05:59Don't you remember?

00:06:01She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.

00:06:05Yeah.

00:06:06She saved our hiding there.

00:06:08Remember?

00:06:09Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollars?

00:06:12I don't know.

00:06:13I don't know.

00:06:14I don't know.

00:06:16I don't know.

00:06:17I don't know.

00:06:18I don't know.

00:06:19I don't know.

00:06:20I don't know.

00:06:21I don't know.

00:06:22I don't know.

00:06:23I don't know.

00:06:24Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?

00:06:29I don't know.

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

00:06:35Hey!

00:06:36What are you doing?

00:06:37Let go of me!

00:06:38You attacked Amber!

00:06:39Apologize this instant!

00:06:44Stealing from the Harrisons.

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

00:06:48You refused it.

00:06:49And now you're stealing.

00:06:51She couldn't afford it.

00:06:52You're a thief.

00:06:53You're a thief.

00:07:00That's mine!

00:07:01Give it back!

00:07:02That's me!

00:07:03That's enough!

00:07:05Laura?

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

00:07:10It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.

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

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

00:07:20Excuse me, do you know who I am?

00:07:22Is this true?

00:07:23You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?

00:07:26Shame on you!

00:07:27Mr. Shepard, I...

00:07:28I...

00:07:29For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.

00:07:32I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.

00:07:34Oh, please.

00:07:35A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.

00:07:38You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?

00:07:41That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.

00:07:47That's ridiculous.

00:07:48He doesn't look like that.

00:07:50My ring.

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

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

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

00:07:59Now.

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

00:08:01Who the heck is this man?

00:08:02Have you been sneaking around?

00:08:04It's alright, ma'am.

00:08:06This is none of your business.

00:08:07All rabbed dead bodies.

00:08:09You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on.

00:08:12We are the Harrisons.

00:08:14You can't just waltz in here and take her.

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

00:08:19Now go back.

00:08:20What?

00:08:21Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?

00:08:23That's a lie!

00:08:24Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura!

00:08:26You come back here and explain yourself!

00:08:28Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!

00:08:32Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?

00:08:37Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.

00:08:42I don't feel good about going through the signing event.

00:08:45After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?

00:08:49No!

00:08:50Um...

00:08:51No, the event will proceed.

00:08:54Besides, I'll be there.

00:08:59There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.

00:09:02Who are you, truly?

00:09:04You'll find out.

00:09:06Mr. Shepard.

00:09:08Um, can you pull up over here, please?

00:09:14Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're gonna have a meeting.

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

00:09:25Make sure everyone is there.

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

00:09:37Oh, excellent, Miss Lewis.

00:09:38I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.

00:09:40Ben Harrison, you're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.

00:09:54After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.

00:09:59Only after then, my darling, we can get married.

00:10:03Laura, what are you doing here?

00:10:05Security?

00:10:06Get that woman out of here.

00:10:08We don't need cleaners at this event.

00:10:10Why wouldn't I be here?

00:10:12This is a business event, after all.

00:10:15Business?

00:10:16You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.

00:10:18A fancy dress doesn't make you have society, honey.

00:10:21Just get out.

00:10:22Don't tell me you couldn't looking for another rich man to play mistress for.

00:10:25You should've taken my $100,000 offer.

00:10:27Well, Ben, do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?

00:10:32Laura, this is really important for me.

00:10:35Do not ruin this, okay?

00:10:36You don't belong here.

00:10:38Just get out!

00:10:40Oh.

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

00:10:51This contract is mine.

00:10:54To give or take away as I see fit.

00:10:58Don't be ridiculous.

00:10:59This is insane.

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

00:11:01Yeah, put that down.

00:11:02You have no idea what you're doing.

00:11:04Security?

00:11:05She's lost a mind.

00:11:06This is a disaster!

00:11:08Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,

00:11:13but since you clearly don't deserve it...

00:11:24Laura?

00:11:25I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.

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

00:11:47You see, it's...

00:11:48Who are you?

00:11:49Laura's new squeeze.

00:11:51Excuse me.

00:11:52Do you know who I am?

00:11:53Is this true?

00:11:54You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?

00:11:57Shame on you!

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

00:11:59For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.

00:12:30Now.

00:12:31Hold on a minute, Laura.

00:12:32Who the heck is this matter?

00:12:34Have you been sneaking around?

00:12:36It's alright, ma'am.

00:12:37This is none of your business.

00:12:39I'll grab dead bodies.

00:12:40You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on.

00:12:43We are the Harrisons.

00:12:45You can't just waltz in here and take her.

00:14:46Business? You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.

00:14:49A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey. Just get out.

00:14:54Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.

00:14:57You should have taken my $100,000 offer.

00:15:33Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.

00:15:35Security! She's lost a mind! This is a disaster!

00:15:39Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't deserve it...

00:15:47You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help?

00:15:49You're so silly, Laura.

00:15:51Oh, please, honey! You couldn't help me.

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

00:16:16You're so silly, Lauren.

00:16:17Oh, please, honey.

00:16:18You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.

00:16:21Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.

00:16:25I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.

00:16:28And after careful consideration,

00:16:31I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.

00:16:36You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?

00:16:41You have no authority here.

00:16:43Of course she has the authority.

00:16:51That's the man that Laura went with the other day.

00:16:53What is he doing here?

00:16:54Mr. Shepard?

00:16:55How does he know her?

00:16:56Is that really Brian Shepard?

00:16:58Laura, are you alright?

00:17:00Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.

00:17:05There must be some sort of misunderstanding.

00:17:07There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.

00:17:09This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.

00:17:14Effective immediately.

00:17:16Wait a minute.

00:17:18This contract, I thought you said you got it.

00:17:20It's her.

00:17:21She ruined the contract.

00:17:23You are his mistress, aren't you?

00:17:25An affair?

00:17:26She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?

00:17:30Mom, please, it's okay.

00:17:32This man is...

00:17:33Don't touch me!

00:17:35That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair and you just stand there?

00:17:40You're a disgrace.

00:17:41An adulterer.

00:17:42You deserve to be arrested.

00:17:43Shut up!

00:17:46Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess.

00:17:49But I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.

00:17:52Tricked?

00:17:53Why don't you answer a question yourself then?

00:17:58What was my name before we got married?

00:18:02Laura Lewis, right?

00:18:04Lewis Group?

00:18:05The Financial Giants?

00:18:07There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.

00:18:11That's crazy.

00:18:13There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.

00:18:16That's absurd.

00:18:17It's...

00:18:18It's...

00:18:19It's absurd!

00:18:21A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.

00:18:25Yeah.

00:18:26Yeah, it's a lie.

00:18:27This woman was a waitress when I met her.

00:18:29In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.

00:18:32She's nothing special.

00:18:34She only married me out of gratitude.

00:18:36I was just a waitress.

00:18:39How convenient for your story, Ben.

00:18:42First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.

00:18:45Okay, listen up everybody.

00:18:46When I met her, I'd only just started my business.

00:18:49Mm-hmm.

00:18:50Now look at me.

00:18:51I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.

00:18:53And look at her.

00:18:55Still just a cleaner.

00:18:56Mr. Shepherd.

00:18:58That woman is my son's ex-wife.

00:19:00She's doing all this out of spite.

00:19:02She's lying, Mr. Shepherd.

00:19:04She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?

00:19:09Let's make something clear.

00:19:12I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.

00:19:16I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.

00:19:22Don't lie.

00:19:23You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.

00:19:26Oops.

00:19:27That roof was built with lies.

00:19:30Kathy, you never respected me.

00:19:32And Ben?

00:19:33Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.

00:19:37And the cheating.

00:19:39I think you're blaming the wrong person.

00:19:42You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.

00:19:47If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story,

00:19:51then the truth, Kathy.

00:19:54Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.

00:19:57From everything.

00:20:03Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:20:04Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?

00:20:07And then just walk out like nothing happened?

00:20:08I don't think so.

00:20:09You're a cleaner.

00:20:11You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.

00:20:13Nobody cares about you.

00:20:14Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.

00:20:19I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.

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

00:20:30I think all jobs are important, right, Mom?

00:20:32Ben, what are you doing?

00:20:34But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.

00:20:40A janitor.

00:20:41Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?

00:20:49You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?

00:20:55Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.

00:20:58This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.

00:21:02I... but, well...

00:21:04A lie, you say?

00:21:06Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.

00:21:10But I don't recognize you.

00:21:12Is this true, Miss Smith?

00:21:16Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.

00:21:19This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.

00:21:23But the contract...

00:21:25I mean, Laura tore it up.

00:21:27So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?

00:21:31Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.

00:21:34Perhaps you haven't been paying attention.

00:21:36Without Miss Lewis involvement, I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.

00:21:45Today, I want to make it clear.

00:21:48Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.

00:21:55Miss Smith, you lied to us.

00:21:57You destroyed everything.

00:21:59What?

00:22:00No, it's a misunderstanding.

00:22:01I can explain.

00:22:03Lewis?

00:22:04Lewis Family Group?

00:22:06This can't be.

00:22:07Believe what you want, Ben.

00:22:09Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.

00:22:14Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.

00:22:19And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.

00:22:26Everyone, listen to me.

00:22:28Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison Group.

00:22:32A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.

00:22:40The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.

00:22:42Everyone here deserves to see the truth.

00:22:45Ms. Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?

00:22:54Someone get a doctor.

00:22:56Help!

00:22:57Someone get a doctor!

00:22:58Mom!

00:22:59Someone get a doctor!

00:23:00Mom!

00:23:01It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.

00:23:07Indeed.

00:23:08Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.

00:23:10What?

00:23:11What now?

00:23:12Mom!

00:23:13This is not all on me!

00:23:14Not on you!

00:23:15I was trying to help!

00:23:16She cheated on you with Shepard!

00:23:17Flaunted their affair!

00:23:18Exactly!

00:23:19And those dresses?

00:23:20Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?

00:23:21Ms. Smith, how could you do this?

00:23:22We trusted you completely!

00:23:23What?

00:23:24No!

00:23:25No!

00:23:26No!

00:23:27No!

00:23:28No!

00:23:29No!

00:23:30No!

00:23:31No!

00:23:32No!

00:23:33No!

00:23:34I got Ben the deal!

00:23:35I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura!

00:23:36She's a liar!

00:23:37Oh!

00:23:38Stop it, Amber!

00:23:39You lied to us just as much as she did!

00:23:40Lied?

00:23:41You're on my side!

00:23:42And anyways, I have a plan!

00:23:43The Shepards are no one special!

00:23:44We can expose them!

00:23:45No!

00:23:46No!

00:23:47No!

00:23:48No!

00:23:49No!

00:23:50No!

00:23:51No!

00:23:52No!

00:23:53No!

00:23:54No!

00:23:55No!

00:23:56No!

00:23:57No!

00:23:58No!

00:23:59No!

00:24:00No!

00:24:01No!

00:24:02No!

00:24:03No!

00:24:04No!

00:24:05It kills Laura in all her lies!

00:24:06Go national!

00:24:07We can make ourselves a household name!

00:24:11Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to make!

00:24:20Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard!

00:24:23Thank you as well for standing up for me!

00:24:26It's alright, Laura.

00:24:27You deserve the credit for all your hard work.

00:24:29Can I ask you something?

00:24:30Do you have any place to stay tonight?

00:24:32Maybe a hotel?

00:24:33hotel? Don't, don't worry about me, Mr. Shepherd. I'll be fine. Excuse me, you can just drop me off.

00:24:40Actually, Laura, actually, Laura, there is something else. Would you consider

00:24:45go out for dinner sometime? Just casually, of course. Mr. Shepherd, are you asking me out?

00:24:52Please, call me Brian. And yes, technically you're single now.

00:24:59Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.

00:25:11Proper? Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances. Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.

00:25:21Those are qualities I truly admire. So what do you say? Dinner?

00:25:27Just two people getting to know each other.

00:25:35I'm sorry, Mr. Shepherd. I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't.

00:25:40Wait, Laura. Just here is fine.

00:25:45Laura?

00:25:50Laura, who is it? Laura, wait!

00:25:53Jason, find out who owns that car. And do it fast.

00:26:06Ian Lewis, who is this?

00:26:08It's Amber Smith.

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

00:26:16I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith. How did you get this number?

00:26:21Don't worry about that right now.

00:26:23I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis. Someone I know very well.

00:26:29Impersonating my niece? And where is this fake Laura?

00:26:35Right here in Maplewood. And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.

00:26:40Well, what is she doing exactly? And more to the point, what do you want from me?

00:26:49In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?

00:26:54I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.

00:26:56All will be revealed then.

00:26:58Very well. I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.

00:27:03But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...

00:27:06It won't be.

00:27:06Trust me, Mr. Lewis.

00:27:09Thank you, Mr.

00:27:15That little rascal, Laura.

00:27:19I wonder what she's up to now.

00:27:24That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubbler.

00:27:29Oh.

00:27:30Lewis family?

00:27:32That's interesting.

00:27:33Could you be connected to them somehow?

00:27:38I'm not sure.

00:27:41Brian!

00:27:42There you are.

00:27:43I've missed you.

00:27:44Chloe.

00:27:45What are you up to?

00:27:47Chloe.

00:27:48What are you doing here?

00:27:50What do you mean?

00:27:51Can't I visit the man I love?

00:27:53We ended things for a reason.

00:27:55It was just one teensy mistake.

00:27:58I was...

00:27:58I was a little bit tipsy.

00:28:01Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?

00:28:02Teensy mistake, you say?

00:28:04You cheated on me.

00:28:09Is this your new fling?

00:28:12Ex-divorcey.

00:28:14I used to clean floors.

00:28:15It's quite the catch, aren't you saying?

00:28:17Look, my relationship with her is none of your business.

00:28:22And don't you dare talk about her like that.

00:28:25Please.

00:28:26An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.

00:28:31It's a classic story.

00:28:32That's enough.

00:28:33I'll get the hell out of my office.

00:28:36You want to be careful, Brian.

00:28:38Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.

00:28:41If you want Shepard Group to stay afloat,

00:28:44you ought to be more careful.

00:28:49Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.

00:28:57This is it.

00:28:58The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.

00:29:01Once I'm done speaking with them,

00:29:02I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.

00:29:06I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.

00:29:10Well, well, well.

00:29:12Look who it is.

00:29:13What a surprise.

00:29:15Did Brian teach you already?

00:29:17That's none of your business.

00:29:20Now, move aside, please.

00:29:21Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?

00:29:25You really think you can just ruin my events again?

00:29:27Haven't you ruined my life enough?

00:29:28Don't you have any shame?

00:29:30If you'll excuse me,

00:29:31I have an important meeting to get to.

00:29:34Oh, the nerve.

00:29:35After everything you've done,

00:29:36you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?

00:29:40Seriously?

00:29:41I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.

00:29:46Oh, that's gold.

00:29:47You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?

00:29:50Please, you're no one compared to me.

00:29:52You don't deserve to be here.

00:29:54The only ones who don't belong here are you three.

00:29:58And you, idiot, believing every lie that she tells you, wake up, Ben.

00:30:04Oh, Laura!

00:30:06Laura, come on, why do you always pull this on me?

00:30:09I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?

00:30:13I know what this is.

00:30:14So stupid.

00:30:17Oh, shut your trap.

00:30:19Amber spoke directly with the CEO.

00:30:21He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.

00:30:24Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.

00:30:28And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.

00:30:32Well, before you all start celebrating,

00:30:36why don't you take a look at this?

00:30:41Oh, that's rich.

00:30:43You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.

00:30:46I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.

00:30:50Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?

00:30:53You mean my uncle?

00:30:56Ian, don't be ridiculous.

00:30:59Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.

00:31:02And besides, this looks fake.

00:31:06She's a liar.

00:31:09This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.

00:31:13It grants me access to the VIP elevator,

00:31:16which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.

00:31:18She's lying.

00:31:19They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.

00:31:25Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?

00:31:29Not that I know of.

00:31:30See?

00:31:32She's lying.

00:31:33There you have it, Laura.

00:31:34Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.

00:31:36Go on, get lost before things get worse.

00:31:41Here, take this one.

00:31:43Lead me to the vice president's.

00:31:45You have no idea what you just did.

00:31:50There be consequences.

00:31:54Besides,

00:31:55if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis

00:31:57that you claim to have,

00:31:59why don't you just ask him

00:32:01to get the two of them an invitation?

00:32:05Security!

00:32:06Security!

00:32:06We need this woman removed immediately.

00:32:07She is harassing me.

00:32:09We're done with your games, Laura.

00:32:10You're just a fraud.

00:32:11Ma'am, place me with you.

00:32:12What?

00:32:13Hold on!

00:32:17Brian Shepard?

00:32:18You think money buys you the right to walk all over people.

00:32:21Well, it doesn't.

00:32:22Yeah.

00:32:23Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?

00:32:26What other plans do you have to destroy this time?

00:32:28Get you out?

00:32:29After what you did to Laura,

00:32:31you had it coming.

00:32:32Don't play dumb.

00:32:33We know exactly what's been happening here.

00:32:36How long has this little affair been going on?

00:32:38You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.

00:32:41Hold on a second.

00:32:43An affair?

00:32:45You think Laura and I...

00:32:46You people are unbelievable.

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

00:32:54We have a situation.

00:32:56What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?

00:32:58Is that it?

00:32:59Well, stick around and watch you crash and burn.

00:33:01Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.

00:33:03How can I help you this evening?

00:33:05Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.

00:33:09It seems there's a misunderstanding.

00:33:12These people don't think that I belong here.

00:33:15Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.

00:33:17A cleaner?

00:33:19Nonsense.

00:33:20I personally greeted Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.

00:33:24Exactly.

00:33:26Lewis Group, my company,

00:33:29has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.

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

00:33:36No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.

00:33:41She's been this way since my son divorced her.

00:33:43She's insane.

00:33:44Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.

00:33:48She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.

00:33:52No, it's a lie.

00:33:55Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too.

00:33:57You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.

00:34:06Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?

00:34:09Wait, is that why you're covering for her?

00:34:11Huh?

00:34:12Because of the affair?

00:34:12Because she slept with you?

00:34:14Excuse me.

00:34:15Of course.

00:34:15Who are you and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?

00:34:18Enough of this.

00:34:19She's right.

00:34:19That's enough.

00:34:20Have you never embarrassed yourself enough?

00:34:22This is Lewis Group property.

00:34:24Behave or I'll call security.

00:34:26But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access.

00:34:29She shouldn't be here.

00:34:31Since you're having trouble understanding, Ben,

00:34:34let me make it clear.

00:34:35This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.

00:34:39It's mine to come or go as I please.

00:34:47Thank you for sending me in, Brian.

00:34:49I owe you one.

00:34:52We'll talk about this later.

00:34:54Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harrison.

00:34:59Excuse me, Vice Presidents.

00:35:11I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.

00:35:15I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today?

00:35:18Maplewood Branch.

00:35:20Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Miss Smith.

00:35:25Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?

00:35:29Well, Ian Lewis, Mr. Lewis, reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.

00:35:38Expansion plans?

00:35:40Miss Smith, a decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.

00:35:45And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.

00:35:49But Ian Lewis assured me that...

00:35:53Miss Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.

00:35:56Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.

00:35:59Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...

00:36:02Miss Smith, we'd like you to leave.

00:36:04If you don't, we'll call security.

00:36:06Hey, stop there.

00:36:13This elevator is a VIP only.

00:36:15Back, please.

00:36:16Of course.

00:36:17My apologies.

00:36:18Laura?

00:36:25Vice President!

00:36:28It's so good to see all of you again.

00:36:32Miss Lewis, it's been too long.

00:36:34Your return is a lifesaver, Miss Lewis.

00:36:37The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.

00:36:43The board are begging you to come back, Miss Lewis.

00:36:48Well, please sit.

00:36:50Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.

00:36:54We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.

00:37:00Local powerhouses and smaller players, too.

00:37:04They'll all be there in one spot.

00:37:05Miss Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.

00:37:10She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.

00:37:17She said that, did she?

00:37:19Well, Miss Smith is a liar.

00:37:21There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.

00:37:24She lied so blatantly, it was, it's unbelievable.

00:37:28Well, don't worry.

00:37:29I found a much more suitable partner.

00:37:34Shepherd Group.

00:37:35Shepherd Group.

00:37:36Their rise to a public company has been impressive.

00:37:40Do you have anything to do with that?

00:37:43So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?

00:37:47Oh, don't worry about Amber.

00:37:51I've got plans for her.

00:37:55Miss Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the meeting from us.

00:38:03Cheers.

00:38:05Cheers.

00:38:15You too.

00:38:15Go.

00:38:16No, I'm not leaving.

00:38:17What are you talking about?

00:38:18No, come on.

00:38:18Wait!

00:38:18I'm Amber Smith.

00:38:20I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch.

00:38:22What are you doing?

00:38:22These are my guests.

00:38:23Yeah, that's right.

00:38:24Tell them who we are.

00:38:25Yes, we were waiting for Miss Smith.

00:38:29Lewis Group Maplewood branch?

00:38:30No such thing, ma'am.

00:38:31And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.

00:38:34Oh, of course.

00:38:36Laura!

00:38:37She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.

00:38:40That's how she gets away with everything.

00:38:42You underestimate her, Kathy.

00:38:43She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.

00:38:45No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.

00:38:49Careful with your words.

00:38:51Both of you.

00:38:53Accusations like that can get you in serious trouble.

00:38:57Look who can't even get into a meeting.

00:38:59Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.

00:39:03And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.

00:39:06Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.

00:39:09Used me?

00:39:10Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.

00:39:13You're so stupid.

00:39:15She threw you away like yesterday's trash.

00:39:18Don't worry, Brian.

00:39:19You deserve better.

00:39:21And let's not forget,

00:39:22I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group,

00:39:25appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves,

00:39:28Ian Lewis.

00:39:29New branch manager, huh?

00:39:33Interesting.

00:39:33Laura Lewis?

00:39:35What are you doing here?

00:39:36Get out of here!

00:39:37You claim to be the mystery guest.

00:39:40Don't play games, Laura.

00:39:41Laura, I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.

00:39:46Only the top companies get those.

00:39:49Looks like you're all out of luck.

00:39:51Is that so?

00:39:53Well then,

00:39:54there seems to be a misunderstanding.

00:39:58You see,

00:39:58I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith,

00:40:01but Lewis Group is my company.

00:40:03And I decide who goes to the meetings.

00:40:07Escort them out.

00:40:09What?

00:40:09Their visit is over.

00:40:11Oh, come on.

00:40:12This way, please.

00:40:13I'm not leaving.

00:40:15Move.

00:40:16We're not leaving again.

00:40:17Move.

00:40:18Oh, no, no, no.

00:40:18We're not going.

00:40:19Now.

00:40:19Okay, fine, fine.

00:40:20This isn't over, Laura.

00:40:22You see.

00:40:25Thanks for waiting, Ben.

00:40:29Laura,

00:40:29I'm glad you're okay.

00:40:31And thank you for defending me.

00:40:36I really appreciate it.

00:40:40Um,

00:40:41are you coming to the meeting?

00:40:44Yes, but

00:40:45it's going to be tricky.

00:40:47Why?

00:40:51I'm sure that Shepard Group

00:40:53got an invitation.

00:40:56Yes.

00:40:58Laura,

00:40:59there's something you should know.

00:41:02Is,

00:41:03is this about

00:41:05Ben?

00:41:06Because I can assure you

00:41:07that he won't cause any problems.

00:41:09He won't even get past security.

00:41:12Laura,

00:41:12it's not Ben.

00:41:15It's someone else.

00:41:18Someone's causing problems

00:41:20for Shepard Group?

00:41:23Yes.

00:41:25Her name is Chloe Duke.

00:41:28She is daughter

00:41:29of the Duke family.

00:41:32She's my ex-fiancee.

00:41:36And, uh,

00:41:36let's say

00:41:37things didn't end

00:41:38so well between us.

00:41:41And,

00:41:41let's just say

00:41:44we didn't end

00:41:45things so well.

00:41:47And for some reason,

00:41:50she's having

00:41:50a hard time moving on.

00:41:53And,

00:41:54you think that

00:41:56she's going to cause

00:41:57problems at the meeting

00:41:59for,

00:42:01out of

00:42:04jealousy?

00:42:06There's a possibility.

00:42:08She's kind of jealous.

00:42:09Well,

00:42:11all the more reason

00:42:13for you to be there.

00:42:15Besides,

00:42:17I'll be there too.

00:42:20Laura,

00:42:22would you consider

00:42:24being

00:42:24a guest

00:42:25at the meeting?

00:42:27What?

00:42:28Are you worried

00:42:29that this Chloe

00:42:29is going to cause

00:42:30problems for me too?

00:42:31Maybe a little.

00:42:32but mostly,

00:42:35I want to show

00:42:35them we're a team.

00:42:37Well,

00:42:38it's a very

00:42:38kind offer,

00:42:39Mr. Shepherd.

00:42:43Laura,

00:42:43I don't care

00:42:48about your best.

00:42:50I just want

00:42:51to be by your side.

00:42:52I think

00:42:52I'm falling for you.

00:42:53Brian,

00:42:59I,

00:43:04I appreciate

00:43:05your honesty

00:43:06and

00:43:07right now,

00:43:08I,

00:43:08I'm just not,

00:43:10I,

00:43:10I just don't really

00:43:11have romance

00:43:12on my mind

00:43:14right now,

00:43:14just with,

00:43:15with everything

00:43:16going on

00:43:16and going on.

00:43:18I just want

00:43:20to be upfront

00:43:21and if Chloe

00:43:24tries anything,

00:43:25you won't

00:43:26face her alone.

00:43:30There's just

00:43:31one thing

00:43:32I do need.

00:43:34What is it?

00:43:37A formal dress.

00:43:48Ah,

00:44:47we'll take

00:44:48Sir,

00:44:49this particular

00:44:49dress is

00:44:50not for sale.

00:44:52What do you

00:44:53mean you

00:44:53don't sell it?

00:44:54I want it.

00:44:55Name your

00:44:56price.

00:44:56It's not

00:44:57about the

00:44:57price,

00:44:58ma'am.

00:44:58This one

00:44:59was custom

00:44:59made for

00:45:00Miss Lewis,

00:45:00the Lewis

00:45:01Group heiress.

00:45:02The entire

00:45:02brand belongs

00:45:03to her.

00:45:04This beautiful

00:45:04dress is for

00:45:06display purposes

00:45:06only.

00:45:08It wouldn't

00:45:09suit you

00:45:09anyway,

00:45:10Amber.

00:45:10What are you

00:45:11talking about?

00:45:12Of course it

00:45:12would suit her.

00:45:13It'd fit her

00:45:13just fine.

00:45:14And if it

00:45:15wouldn't fit me,

00:45:15it certainly

00:45:16wouldn't fit your

00:45:17chunky self either.

00:45:18Well,

00:45:19buying the whole

00:45:20store,

00:45:20allow me to

00:45:21purchase this

00:45:27Don't you know

00:45:27that this store

00:45:28Lewis Group?

00:45:29We wouldn't

00:45:30sell it to

00:45:30someone like you.

00:45:31Amber,

00:45:32you're not even a

00:45:33branch manager yet.

00:45:34You don't get to

00:45:35speak on behalf

00:45:45Fortune,

00:45:46hand-stitched

00:45:47in Italy,

00:45:48naturally.

00:45:49Apparently there

00:46:19very delicate.

00:46:20If I may be

00:46:21frank,

00:46:23this would fit

00:46:24you properly.

00:46:26Actually,

00:49:41a chance

00:49:41to see

00:49:43could go?

00:49:44I,

00:49:45I need

00:50:21disrespectful

00:50:22remark towards

00:50:23Laura,

00:50:23Miss Smith.

00:50:24And you

00:50:24understand the

00:50:25meaning of

00:50:27in front

00:50:28of everyone

00:50:28for this,

00:50:30this gold digger.

00:50:32You know,

00:50:32Ben,

00:50:32I really cared

00:50:34about you,

00:50:35even after all

00:50:35the horrible

00:50:36things you said

00:50:37to me after

00:50:37our divorce.

00:50:38I know the

00:50:39name of a

00:50:39great psychologist

00:50:40in New York.

00:50:42Maybe the

00:50:42shrinks in

00:50:43Maplewood aren't

00:50:44equipped to

00:50:46deal with your

00:50:46issues.

00:50:48Enough!

00:50:49I've had enough

00:50:49of this drama.

00:50:50Yeah, me too.

00:50:52Try that again,

00:50:53and you'll

00:50:53regret it.

00:50:55I'll get the

00:50:55hell out of my

00:50:56face.

00:50:57Let's see if you

00:50:58two even make it

00:50:59past the door.

00:50:59Yeah.

00:51:02I'm sorry,

00:51:03Miss Smith,

00:51:03but your name's

00:51:04not on the

00:51:04guest list.

00:51:05What?

00:51:06That's

00:51:06impossible.

00:51:08I was

00:51:08invited by

00:51:09the CEO

00:51:09himself.

00:51:12Unfortunately,

00:51:13neither

00:51:13Harrison Group

00:51:14or Smith Group.

00:51:15The name

00:51:16is on the

00:51:16list.

00:51:17What?

00:51:17Looks like

00:51:18you two won't

00:51:18be getting

00:51:19let in,

00:51:19after all.

00:51:21You don't

00:51:21have an

00:51:21invitation.

00:51:23You're

00:51:23just here

00:51:23because of

00:51:23Brian.

00:51:28Let me

00:51:29see this.

00:51:29This doesn't

00:51:29even look

00:51:30real.

00:51:30It's

00:51:30different

00:51:31from mine.

00:51:32Why

00:51:32don't you

00:51:32ask her

00:51:33if it's

00:51:34real?

00:51:35this appears

00:51:37to be a

00:51:38VIP invitation

00:51:38from the

00:51:39vice president.

00:51:41Please,

00:52:24relationship's

00:52:25history.

00:52:27That was

00:52:27just a little

00:52:28tiff.

00:52:28You really

00:52:29think that

00:53:33I

00:53:35them.

00:53:35They

00:53:36don't

00:53:37need to

00:53:37help us

00:53:37If I can't have Brian, neither can you.

00:54:04The Duke family has more influence than you think.

00:54:09Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.

00:54:12Uncle Jones, how are you?

00:54:15I need your help with something.

00:54:18What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.

00:54:21It's Brian.

00:54:23Who's that woman? I thought you were...

00:54:26She's a con woman. She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.

00:54:30What? Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?

00:54:36Well, she's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.

00:54:40What are you planning?

00:54:43I want to destroy Shepherd Group.

00:54:47Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.

00:54:51I had no idea she would be so... intense.

00:54:58What do you mean?

00:55:00You so should have taken her up on her offer.

00:55:03I mean, you guys are just... power couple.

00:55:08I see what you're doing. Power couple, you say?

00:55:12More like a disaster waiting to happen.

00:55:16Anyway, shall we take a seat?

00:55:20Actually, Brian, my seat is...

00:55:24It's up there.

00:55:26Really?

00:55:28She doesn't deserve to sit there.

00:55:30Excuse me.

00:55:31This is my VIP invitation.

00:55:34I can sit wherever I like.

00:55:37Hey, what do you think you're doing?

00:55:39This is signed by all three VPs of Louis Group.

00:55:42Where did you get this?

00:55:44Who did you have to sleep with?

00:55:46That's enough.

00:55:48This is getting us nowhere.

00:55:51Laura is my guest.

00:55:53And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.

00:55:58Got it?

00:55:59Mr. Shepherd, what do you see in that woman?

00:56:03Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.

00:56:06She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.

00:56:10What more could you ask for?

00:56:12That's a good question.

00:56:14Not much, actually.

00:56:16Honesty.

00:56:18That's what I want.

00:56:20And love.

00:56:22Things that clearly, Chloe has no idea.

00:56:25I said I was sorry.

00:56:27What more do you want?

00:56:29I've watched Chloe grow up.

00:56:31She's like a daughter to me.

00:56:33I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.

00:56:40One more chance, Brian.

00:56:42Let's forget all this nonsense.

00:56:45Do it, Mr. Shepherd.

00:56:46Propose.

00:56:47Right here.

00:56:48Right now.

00:56:50Brian?

00:56:53Well, is this how the Duke family handles business deals?

00:56:57By forcing a ring on someone?

00:57:01Do it.

00:57:02Or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.

00:57:10Don't you dare.

00:57:12You're humiliating yourself.

00:57:14How dare you?

00:57:16Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?

00:57:18Yes.

00:57:21I like her.

00:57:24But I can't imagine someone like her interested in me.

00:57:30The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.

00:57:35Why would you choose someone like her?

00:57:38Exactly!

00:57:39This woman is trouble.

00:57:40She doesn't belong here.

00:57:41Throw her out!

00:57:43You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?

00:57:48Interesting turn of events.

00:57:51Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.

00:57:55Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura,

00:57:59that you're the missing heiress, Laura Lewis?

00:58:04You know what? Maybe you're right, Chloe.

00:58:06How ridiculous!

00:58:08Is that what you've been telling everyone?

00:58:10I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation,

00:58:15but wow!

00:58:17Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?

00:58:21You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that!

00:58:24That's enough!

00:58:25You don't get to talk here!

00:58:27You got mad, Shepard!

00:58:28You dare to go against Miss Duke!

00:58:30And the same applies to everyone else here.

00:58:32Anyone who insults Laura.

00:58:33Leave us with a black eye.

00:58:36It's willing to offend the chick for her.

00:58:38What kind of charm does she have?

00:58:40I want to be careful, Brian.

00:58:42Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.

00:58:46Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?

00:58:50The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not Shepard Group.

00:58:55Lewis Group RS?

00:58:56You?

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

00:59:00Security!

00:59:02Remove these two impostors from the premises!

00:59:05Wait, Uncle Jones.

00:59:06Give Brian another chance.

00:59:08Choose, Brian.

00:59:10Me and the future you deserve, or this...fraud!

00:59:13Chloe, I have everything I ever wanted, right here.

00:59:26And I wouldn't trade for all the power that took so long in Maplewood.

00:59:30Fine.

00:59:36Short the stock of the Shepard Group.

00:59:37What?

00:59:40You forced my hand, Brian.

00:59:43Now Shepard Group is ruined.

00:59:45The Duke family, they can't be serious.

00:59:47Shepard Group is doomed.

00:59:49Brian, you don't have to do this for me.

00:59:53Laura, I will never let anyone bully you, let alone them.

00:59:59Thank you, Brian, for...

01:00:03For believing in me, for...

01:00:06Protecting me.

01:00:08Now it's my turn...

01:00:10To protect you.

01:00:17Listen carefully.

01:00:19I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.

01:00:23At all costs.

01:00:24Don't let it drop...

01:00:27Even one...cent.

01:00:29Do you understand?

01:00:31Well...

01:00:33Award-winning performance, Laura.

01:00:35But you can't possibly control the stock market.

01:00:38Wanna put your...

01:00:40Money where your mouth is, Chloe?

01:00:42If...

01:00:44The Shepard stock holds...

01:00:47For the next five minutes...

01:00:50You owe me a public apology.

01:00:59Deal.

01:01:03Well...

01:01:05Looks like your five minutes is up.

01:01:09Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.

01:01:11What the?

01:01:13The Shepard Group stock prices?

01:01:15It's going up!

01:01:17This can't be happening. It must be a coincidence.

01:01:21Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?

01:01:27There was a huge investment. We couldn't compete. Shepard stock price is being heavily supported.

01:01:32How did you do this?

01:01:34Like I said, Chloe...

01:01:36I'm...

01:01:38Laura Lewis.

01:01:40No, you're not. You're just some clean-out. You don't have access to billions.

01:01:42Well...

01:01:44I think it's time for my apology.

01:01:46No.

01:01:48I think it's time for my apology.

01:01:51No.

01:01:53I think it's time for my apology.

01:01:55No.

01:01:56There is no way I'm apologizing to you.

01:01:57If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me, Chloe?

01:01:59The truth is...

01:02:01Everyone here...

01:02:03Has seen you be a bully.

01:02:05And a coward.

01:02:07And now...

01:02:09A sore...

01:02:11Loser.

01:02:13This is so humiliating for her.

01:02:15I think it's time for my apology.

01:02:17There is no way I'm apologizing to you.

01:02:19If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me, Chloe?

01:02:21The truth is...

01:02:23Everyone here...

01:02:24This is so humiliating for her.

01:02:27How did she manage that?

01:02:29Maybe she really is a Lewis.

01:02:31Apologize to Miss Lewis.

01:02:33Shut up.

01:02:35Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.

01:02:37Don't forget...

01:02:39The Duke finally owned half of Maplewood.

01:02:41You don't deserve us.

01:02:43Let's get out of here.

01:02:45Hold on.

01:02:47This...

01:02:48Is where I belong.

01:02:50And that...

01:02:52Is my chair.

01:02:54You can't go there.

01:02:55That is the VIP section.

01:02:57Only those invited by the Lewis Group Vice Presidents get to sit there.

01:03:02Like I said, Chloe...

01:03:04That's my seat.

01:03:05I had a rumor floating around a few days ago.

01:03:14Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepard. Wasn't it?

01:03:22Are you planning another outburst, Laura?

01:03:25Is this how you charm all your men?

01:03:27Shall we?

01:03:29My pleasure.

01:03:31What are you doing?

01:03:33Let go.

01:03:34It doesn't matter what happens.

01:03:36I choose to stay by Laura's side.

01:03:39Let's go.

01:03:41Don't be absurd.

01:03:42That seat is reserved for a very important guest.

01:03:45Someone so esteemed, even the Vice Presidents have to bow low.

01:03:50And...

01:03:52How?

01:03:54Exactly, Mr. Jones?

01:03:56Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?

01:04:01Wait.

01:04:02That's Peter Young.

01:04:03Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group.

01:04:08Ask Peter Young.

01:04:10He decides which investments are they?

01:04:11Mr. Young.

01:04:12It's Chloe Duke.

01:04:13Head of Duke Industries.

01:04:14So glad you could join us.

01:04:15Why is everyone standing around?

01:04:17It's her.

01:04:18She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat.

01:04:22It's embarrassing.

01:04:23That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.

01:04:27Specifically the family heir.

01:04:29Please get off the stage.

01:04:31Oh yes.

01:04:33Mr. Young, was it?

01:04:35I think I remember you.

01:04:36You manage my family's investments.

01:04:40Don't pretend like you know what's going on.

01:04:43Please get off the stage.

01:04:44That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.

01:04:47I need to make one thing crystal clear.

01:04:55I am the heir of the Lewis family.

01:05:02This is ridiculous.

01:05:04You, the Lewis heir.

01:05:06Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?

01:05:09You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.

01:05:12Exactly.

01:05:13We ran a background check on her and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.

01:05:19Before that, I could see her in my family's supermarket.

01:05:22See Bryan, this is who you've been chasing after. A liar and a cheat.

01:05:28Security, get this imposter out of here. And everyone here is a witness.

01:05:32Why would any of you trust Laura? If any of you dares to harm her, you have to go through me first.

01:05:42Bryan, she's just some nobody. She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched. They didn't even want her. What exactly do you see in her?

01:05:50What exactly do you see in her?

01:05:51Escort this imposter out of here. Now.

01:05:55Oh, Peter.

01:06:03Peter, do you have any idea what you're doing?

01:06:06Mr. Yates, I'm so glad you could join us.

01:06:12Ms. Lewis, sorry about the delay and for all the trouble you've had to put up with.

01:06:17It's no trouble, Mr. Yates. Luckily I haven't been alone.

01:06:22I've had the great company of my very loyal friend.

01:06:27Friend.

01:06:28Wait a minute. She's Ms. Lewis. Is this a joke?

01:06:32Mr. Young, you're new to the Lewis Group, so I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Ms. Lewis.

01:06:39But you listened to lies without checking the facts.

01:06:43And almost called the police.

01:06:46Tell me, Mr. Young, who put you up to this?

01:06:51Was it my uncle, Ian Lewis?

01:06:53I knew it.

01:07:00Consider this your termination.

01:07:04I get it now. This is all an act. Right?

01:07:08Chloe, what are you doing? We still want to work with the Lewis family.

01:07:11Work with them? Are you blind? This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.

01:07:16That's enough, young lady. You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.

01:07:20Oh, Chloe. I can't believe we're going through this again. I think you need some professional help.

01:07:29Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.

01:07:32Chloe, that's enough.

01:07:34It's ridiculous. If you were really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.

01:07:38So why don't you show it to everyone?

01:07:40Show us the ring!

01:07:41Show us the ring! Show us the ring! Show us the ring!

01:07:49Who are you to make demands of me?

01:07:52I don't answer to anyone but myself.

01:07:55I don't need any of your validation.

01:07:59There's a ring!

01:08:00Oh, there's a ring!

01:08:04Oh, wow!

01:08:08Vice Presidents! I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family. This woman is an imposter!

01:08:13Miss Lewis, we apologize for the delay.

01:08:17How could you just let that con woman sit there? Get her out of here!

01:08:20This seat was always from Miss Lewis.

01:08:23She's the special guest we've been waiting for.

01:08:27The investment queen.

01:08:29The real heir to Lewis Group.

01:08:32Laura Lewis.

01:08:34She was a divorced housewife. A janitor. How can she?

01:08:37She can't be. It's a lie. I'm telling you, it's a lie.

01:08:40Do you think we'd lie?

01:08:42We run Lewis Group.

01:08:44Oh, Chloe. You assaulted me earlier.

01:08:49And you came to this meeting to what?

01:08:52Sabotage it.

01:08:54You'll be hearing from our legal team.

01:08:59Is this true, Miss Duke?

01:09:01Did you try and sabotage this meeting?

01:09:03Yes, it's all true. She fooled us all.

01:09:08The Duke tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewoods

01:09:11and control everything themselves.

01:09:14I had no idea.

01:09:16But I'm on your side.

01:09:18I can give you everything you need.

01:09:20All the resources in Maplewoods.

01:09:22Miss Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this?

01:09:26An eye for an eye.

01:09:31Since Miss Duke here loves ruining things,

01:09:36I'll target her precious Duke Industries.

01:09:42I want them bankrupt in ten minutes.

01:09:45You're bluffing.

01:09:47You're nobody.

01:09:48You'll always be a nobody.

01:09:50And you can't touch me.

01:09:52Then consider this a test, Chloe.

01:09:56I didn't need my family's support with Shepard

01:09:59and I certainly don't need it now.

01:10:01Chloe, you dug your own grave.

01:10:03You think you can destroy Maplewoods leading family

01:10:07with just the Shepard group?

01:10:09Please.

01:10:12We'll see.

01:10:18Dad?

01:10:20Slow down.

01:10:21What are you talking about?

01:10:24No.

01:10:26It's impossible.

01:10:28Chloe, what have you done?

01:10:30Years of hard work.

01:10:31Destroyed in minutes.

01:10:36What did you do?

01:10:38Well, Chloe,

01:10:40isn't this what you wanted?

01:10:43To give me a little taste of destruction?

01:10:45This is impossible.

01:10:47It's impossible!

01:10:49Chloe, what have you done?

01:10:51The news is everywhere.

01:10:53Shepard's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market.

01:10:57They're hammering our shares.

01:10:58Are you sure it's just Shepard?

01:11:01Yes!

01:11:03Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato.

01:11:06We could go bankrupt.

01:11:08You've ruined everything!

01:11:10Don't worry, Mr. Duke.

01:11:12When your company does go bankrupt, I'll buy it.

01:11:15At a fire sale price.

01:11:17Your employees won't even be affected.

01:11:19Brilliant.

01:11:20You lost your stroke, Ms. Lewis.

01:11:23Now, this is my event.

01:11:27Please leave.

01:11:29Brian, I did this for us!

01:11:31Everything I did, I did for us, Brian!

01:11:35Chloe, you need help.

01:11:38These feelings you have for me, it's not love.

01:11:42It's obsession.

01:11:43Enough!

01:11:45If you don't want to ruin everything completely, you'll come with me.

01:11:49Right now.

01:11:51No!

01:11:53Right now!

01:11:55Brian!

01:12:01Laura!

01:12:03This isn't over!

01:12:05Get out of me!

01:12:07You hear me?

01:12:09What is going on here?

01:12:12Did they finally expose Laura's lies?

01:12:14Shepard Group.

01:12:15They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group for Maplewood.

01:12:19They're handling all future construction projects.

01:12:22That can't be!

01:12:24What about us? That was our project!

01:12:26Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.

01:12:28Harrison Group is practically out. We have no chance.

01:12:31We can't give up that easily.

01:12:33Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as General Manager.

01:12:36In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.

01:12:40You're right.

01:12:41If we can just meet with the new heir, we can bypass the Shepards

01:12:45and meet directly with the Lewis Group.

01:12:47We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.

01:12:51That's right.

01:12:55Vice Presidents!

01:12:57Allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.

01:13:01I'm sure I've mentioned him before.

01:13:02Mr. Shepard, it's finally a pleasure to meet you.

01:13:06We've looked into your company's financial review.

01:13:10Very impressive.

01:13:13Thank you, bud.

01:13:14A large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.

01:13:18She practically saved me from disaster.

01:13:21Three times over now.

01:13:23Brian, you can just call me Laura.

01:13:25Ms. Lewis's recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.

01:13:29Perhaps today clarifies everything.

01:13:32Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is golden.

01:13:36Seize it.

01:13:38A woman like Laura is not easy to find.

01:13:41Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.

01:13:43Did Laura send you to kill me?

01:13:54Laura? Hardly.

01:13:56I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.

01:14:02So you're Laura's uncle?

01:14:04In the flesh.

01:14:06So Laura really is your niece?

01:14:09Yes.

01:14:10Little Laura.

01:14:12She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.

01:14:16Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.

01:14:19I think he was a Harrison.

01:14:21Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side.

01:14:24Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?

01:14:28And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?

01:14:30If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?

01:14:35Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Miss Duke.

01:14:38We need you to relinquish my ring.

01:14:42What if I, what if I fail?

01:14:44My family is already ruined.

01:14:46Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say.

01:14:49But, if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family

01:14:54will get back everything you've lost.

01:14:57Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side.

01:14:59How can I possibly get the ring?

01:15:01There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish

01:15:06and give up that ring willingly.

01:15:11Laura, my dear, welcome.

01:15:13Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.

01:15:19Laura.

01:15:20It's so good to see you.

01:15:22And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps.

01:15:26How have you been?

01:15:27I've been well, Uncle Ian.

01:15:30Thank you for asking.

01:15:32I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.

01:15:36Yes.

01:15:37Kind of been easy.

01:15:38Indeed, somebody had to.

01:15:39I mean, after you left me with everything to do,

01:15:42without a safe pair of hands, I hate to think it would have happened to the company.

01:15:45Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard, you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.

01:15:55Yes. Minor mistakes. Minor.

01:15:58Don't worry, Uncle Ian. I won't hold it against you.

01:16:02Good.

01:16:03Well, cheers to you coming back here.

01:16:07And the Lewis Group.

01:16:10Oh!

01:16:12I'm so sorry, Laura. How clumsy of me.

01:16:16No, no worries, Uncle Ian. I...

01:16:19I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.

01:16:22Of course.

01:16:24Right away, just down to the left.

01:16:25Use it wisely.

01:16:33Oh, I will.

01:16:48Hey, Laura. How's it?

01:16:51Hello, Brian.

01:16:52Your little girlfriend is with me now.

01:16:54Chloe.

01:16:56How in the hell did you get Laura's phone?

01:16:58Let's just say that I have my ways.

01:17:01Listen, Chloe.

01:17:03Don't hurt her.

01:17:05Please.

01:17:07I'll do anything.

01:17:09Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs.

01:17:13Now.

01:17:15Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.

01:17:20Well, you certainly do have your ways.

01:17:26Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up.

01:17:27I am sorry.

01:17:28How clumsy.

01:17:30And don't forget your phone.

01:17:31I retrieved it for you.

01:17:34Lovely to see you again.

01:17:35Yeah.

01:17:36I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.

01:17:40At the banquet.

01:17:42I'll see you then.

01:17:43Will do.

01:17:44Looking forward to it.

01:17:48Laura!

01:17:49Laura!

01:17:50Where are you?

01:17:51Laura!

01:17:53Laura!

01:17:54Where are you?

01:17:55Laura!

01:17:56Where are you?

01:17:57Laura!

01:17:58Where are you?

01:17:59Laura!

01:18:04Gotcha.

01:18:07You weren't expecting that, were you?

01:18:09Finally.

01:18:10Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.

01:18:23What the?

01:18:24Laura, where are you?

01:18:25Laura?

01:18:26Laura?

01:18:27Go shut your mouth.

01:18:29Chloe.

01:18:30What have you done?

01:18:32You out of your mind?

01:18:33Out of my mind!

01:18:34You were the one that left me for that tramp and destroyed my life!

01:18:37That's not true.

01:18:38You were the one who messed up!

01:18:40Brian!

01:18:41Laura!

01:18:44Stay where you are.

01:18:46You better not come alone.

01:18:49Drop this knife, Chloe.

01:18:50This is insane!

01:18:52Insane?

01:18:53I did this for us, Brian!

01:18:56We were meant to be together.

01:18:58Oh my god.

01:18:59Us?

01:19:00You've gone crazy!

01:19:01And you're out of here.

01:19:02Chloe.

01:19:03Kidnapping?

01:19:04This knife is a very serious offense.

01:19:06They're going to lock you up for years!

01:19:09You think I care about jail time?

01:19:12All I care about is tearing you two apart.

01:19:15You don't deserve him.

01:19:17What you've done...

01:19:19You've destroyed my life!

01:19:21My company, everything!

01:19:23Now I'm going to destroy your life.

01:19:26Give me the family ring now.

01:19:29Give it to me!

01:19:30This is about the ring.

01:19:32Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?

01:19:36You know, Chloe...

01:19:38Trying to kill me...

01:19:40That's foolish.

01:19:42Because who do you think is going to win?

01:19:45You?

01:19:47That little knife.

01:19:48Or...

01:19:50Me.

01:19:52Something a little bit more persuasive.

01:20:01Freeze!

01:20:02Don't move anyone!

01:20:06Don't move!

01:20:08You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.

01:20:10Miss Lewis.

01:20:12Having fun without me.

01:20:14I'm hurt.

01:20:16Are you hurt?

01:20:19No, I'm okay.

01:20:21I'm okay.

01:20:23Tell me, Chloe.

01:20:25Who put you up to this, Chloe?

01:20:27Why should I tell you?

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

01:20:31Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.

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

01:20:37Your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.

01:20:41Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.

01:20:44So the choice is yours, Chloe.

01:20:47Talk...

01:20:49Or face the consequences.

01:20:51Fine.

01:20:52It was Ian Lewis.

01:20:53He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the Banker today.

01:20:59Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?

01:21:01I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.

01:21:06Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.

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

01:21:21This is crazy.

01:21:22Are we really sure we can do this?

01:21:23All these big companies here, it's crazy.

01:21:26Absolutely.

01:21:28The Lewis Group is under new leadership.

01:21:30We can talk to the heiress herself.

01:21:32Exactly.

01:21:33We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.

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

01:21:38You can introduce us. Let's go.

01:21:40Yeah.

01:21:42Hello, Ian Lewis.

01:21:44I'm Amber Smith.

01:21:45We spoke on the phone the other day.

01:21:47This is Ben Harrison from the Harrison Group.

01:21:48How do you do?

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

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

01:21:52Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.

01:21:56Now look, I'm not here for idle chatter.

01:21:58Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

01:22:04Could I ask you all to be seated, please?

01:22:08The moment you've all been waiting for.

01:22:11Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.

01:22:15A night where the rightful heir takes their place.

01:22:17Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group,

01:22:22Miss Laura Lewis.

01:22:24Look, everybody, attention.

01:22:26Attention, please.

01:22:29There's been a recent development of some tragedy.

01:22:34I just got notice from a phone call a couple of minutes ago

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

01:22:41And tragically, she hasn't made it.

01:22:44She has not survived.

01:22:45What?

01:22:49Laura Lewis is dead?

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

01:22:52She's gone.

01:22:54Mr. Lewis, is this new...

01:22:55A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.

01:22:58But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.

01:23:04Hold on!

01:23:06Who said that I'm dead?

01:23:08Laura!

01:23:14I don't understand.

01:23:16What's happening?

01:23:18Laura?

01:23:19But...

01:23:20Weren't you-

01:23:21My apologies for the delay, everyone.

01:23:24There seems to be some...

01:23:26Misunderstanding.

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

01:23:28What are you doing here?

01:23:29You gotta stop this.

01:23:30If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.

01:23:33I'll say this once.

01:23:34Back off, Ben.

01:23:35Thank you for coming, everyone.

01:23:42As I'm sure you know, tonight I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.

01:23:51Perhaps you could make some room for me.

01:23:58Uncle Ian?

01:23:59Impossible.

01:24:00How are you still alive?

01:24:02Well, clearly I am alive and well, so why don't we get this started?

01:24:06No.

01:24:07You're not the rightful heir.

01:24:10You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.

01:24:14Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument that you have, that I got married too quickly?

01:24:18Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger and left me to work tirelessly, keeping the company together.

01:24:26Uncle Ian, retire. Enjoy your retirement.

01:24:31Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.

01:24:33No.

01:24:34There can only be one heir, and that's me.

01:24:38And the rightful heir has possession of this.

01:24:43You think a ring makes an heir?

01:24:45You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.

01:24:50Give that back to me.

01:24:51This.

01:24:52Yes.

01:24:53You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?

01:24:57Give it back.

01:24:59True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you, not some stupid ring.

01:25:06My ring?

01:25:07What have you done?

01:25:08Where is it?

01:25:09My ring?

01:25:10Oh.

01:25:11Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.

01:25:12How dare you?

01:25:13Now, let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.

01:25:15Talk.

01:25:16Or face the consequences.

01:25:17Fine.

01:25:18It was Ian Lewis.

01:25:19He...

01:25:20He...

01:25:21He said he helped your industry if I kept you away from the bankers today.

01:25:35Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr. Lewis.

01:25:40Security, escort him out.

01:25:43And Ian, don't fall over.

01:25:44It's all lies.

01:25:46It's all lies.

01:25:47It's all lies.

01:25:48Fakery.

01:25:49It's fake news.

01:25:50The proof is clear.

01:25:51Get him out of here.

01:25:52Now.

01:25:56I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.

01:26:01Turns out reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.

01:26:07Luckily, these past few days I've had Mr. Shepherd by my side.

01:26:14And he has been a great support.

01:26:18Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.

01:26:24I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.

01:26:32Shepherd Group.

01:26:33What?

01:26:34Laura, hold on.

01:26:35This was never my idea.

01:26:37This was all Kathy and Amber's fault.

01:26:39I don't want a divorce.

01:26:40What?

01:26:41Then what are you saying?

01:26:42You came to me first.

01:26:44Classic Ben.

01:26:45Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.

01:26:50Just don't shut Harrison Group out.

01:26:52Just give me another chance.

01:26:54How could I shut you out?

01:26:56I'm just a cleaner, remember?

01:26:58I'm just a useless housewife.

01:27:00I don't have that power.

01:27:04What are you talking about?

01:27:05What?

01:27:06No.

01:27:07Come on.

01:27:08Sorry.

01:27:09No, please.

01:27:10No.

01:27:11Um, Mr. Shepherd?

01:27:12Yes, Miss Lewis?

01:27:13I was wondering if...

01:27:16Maybe you wanted to grab dinner.

01:27:19Sometime.

01:27:21On me.

01:27:23Miss Lewis.

01:27:27I would love to.

01:27:35So what do you want to do?

01:27:36I'll introduce you.

01:27:37I'm sorry.

01:27:38I'll tell you.

01:27:39I'm sorry...

01:27:41Listen.

01:27:42I'm sorry.

01:27:43I'm sorry.

01:27:44I'm sorry.

01:27:45Hi, my auntie.

01:27:46I can't see you.

01:27:47I can see you.

01:27:48Or I can see you.

01:27:49You go to my friend.

01:27:50I can see you.

01:27:51You're not right.

01:27:52I'm sorry.

01:27:53I'm sorry.

01:27:54I can see you.

01:27:55You're not right.

01:27:56I can see you.

01:27:57You have to go to my friend.

01:27:58I can see you again.
