Transcript

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

00:00:10What the hell is going on here?

00:00:13Half of you came from major investment banks.

00:00:16Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do.

00:00:20Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.

00:00:25They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.

00:00:29Sir, what are our next steps?

00:00:35Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunchtime.

00:00:45Hey, this is a private meeting.

00:00:47Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?

00:00:50Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.

00:00:58But losing your cool over a little bucket turbulence? That seems out of character for you.

00:01:05Do I know you?

00:01:09What are you doing?

00:01:12What are you doing?

00:01:13You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.

00:01:15You can't be messing with our company funds.

00:01:17What?

00:01:18This is incredible.

00:01:19What's going on?

00:01:20The shorting attempt. It's failing. The price is holding.

00:01:24Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.

00:01:30We met before.

00:01:31They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.

00:01:33Hold on.

00:01:34Tell me.

00:01:35How could I ever repay you for this?

00:01:36If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.

00:01:51Jason?

00:01:52Can we have fun?

00:01:53No.

00:01:54Mr. Yates?

00:01:55What?

00:01:56Only two bodyguards this time?

00:01:57You're not going soft on me, are you?

00:01:58No, ma'am. I just thought you might like to scream today. Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Grimler.

00:02:11Mr. Yates, you know that my investigation is going to be a little bit better.

00:02:13You're not going soft on me, are you?

00:02:16No, ma'am. I just thought you might like to scream today.

00:02:19Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Grimler.

00:02:25Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.

00:02:29Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.

00:02:35Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.

00:02:41Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.

00:02:45Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.

00:02:50Ma'am, at least do me a favour and let Toby walk you up to the house. For my sake.

00:03:06Divorce papers. Sign it.

00:03:08Sign it.

00:03:16Why?

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

00:03:20The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.

00:03:26The Shepard Group.

00:03:27And you, you're just a cleaner.

00:03:31The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time. I need a wife who reflects my status.

00:03:38I secured that $100 million contract.

00:03:41You, a cleaning woman. Handing out million dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.

00:03:50I did. It was my present to Ben for his birthday.

00:03:54I was the one who got Brian Anderson 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. Amber's family is practically local royalty.

00:04:06Local royalty.

00:04:07Local royalty. A 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, doesn't it, Ben?

00:04:23What's going on? Is this why you want a divorce? Because of her?

00:04:28Oh, please. I've spent years building Harrison Group. You're still a cleaner.

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

00:04:35No.

00:04:36No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.

00:04:42I won't sign any.

00:04:47Huh. Money is a motivator, isn't it?

00:04:52Ben.

00:04:53Alright. Here. $100,000. Open up a small shop or something like that.

00:04:59$100,000?

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

00:05:07Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?

00:05:10Don't be ridiculous. You've never done anything for Ben's success.

00:05:14This is our act of charity to work.

00:05:17Here. A million dollars. Take this.

00:05:20You just want more money, don't you?

00:05:22Just leave and never see Ben again.

00:05:25I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.

00:05:31Since none of you respect me.

00:05:35A cleaning lady threatening us?

00:05:38I'm so scared.

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

00:05:50Thank God she's gone.

00:05:52Go to written store.

00:05:53Sir, Laura Lewis' information.

00:06:03She's Ben Harrison's wife.

00:06:05No wonder why she wanted us to partner with them.

00:06:08Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.

00:06:11Divorce her?

00:06:14Wait a minute.

00:06:16Don't you remember?

00:06:17She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.

00:06:21Yeah.

00:06:22She's saved our hiding now.

00:06:24Remember?

00:06:26Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?

00:06:31I don't know.

00:06:33Let's get to the bottom of this.

00:06:38Hey! What are you doing? Let go of me!

00:06:40You attacked Amber!

00:06:41Apologize this instant!

00:06:43Stealing from the Harrisons.

00:06:48We gave you a generous divorce settlement.

00:06:50You refused it.

00:06:51And now you're stealing!

00:06:53She couldn't afford it.

00:06:54You're a thief!

00:07:02That's mine! Give it back!

00:07:04Hey!

00:07:05That's enough!

00:07:08Laura?

00:07:09I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepherd Group.

00:07:12It's really no worries, Mr. Shepherd, but I'm just going through a divorce.

00:07:19You see, it's...

00:07:20Who are you?

00:07:21Laura's new squeeze.

00:07:23Excuse me.

00:07:24Do you know who I am?

00:07:25Is this true?

00:07:26You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?

00:07:29Shame on you!

00:07:30Mr. Shepherd, I...

00:07:31For your information, my name is Brian Shepherd.

00:07:35I'm CEO of the Shepherd Group.

00:07:37Oh, please.

00:07:38A big shot like Brian Shepherd wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.

00:07:41You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?

00:07:43That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.

00:07:49That's ridiculous.

00:07:50He doesn't look like that.

00:07:52My ring.

00:07:53Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.

00:07:55Oh, hey, what are you doing?

00:07:56Laura, let's get you out of here.

00:08:01Now.

00:08:02Hold on a minute, Laura.

00:08:03Who the heck is this man or have you been sneaking around?

00:08:07It's a lie, Naomi.

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

00:08:10All brown dead bodies.

00:08:11You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on.

00:08:14We are the Harrisons.

00:08:16You can't just waltz in here and take her.

00:08:18Harrison, compared to the Shepherd Group, you're nobody.

00:08:21Now go back.

00:08:22What?

00:08:23Are you saying that is Brian Shepherd?

00:08:25That's a lie.

00:08:26Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.

00:08:28You come back here and explain yourself.

00:08:30Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.

00:08:35Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?

00:08:40Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.

00:08:45I don't feel good about going through the signing event.

00:08:49After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?

00:08:52No.

00:08:53Um.

00:08:54No.

00:08:55The event will proceed.

00:08:57Besides, I'll be there.

00:09:03There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.

00:09:06Who are you, truly?

00:09:08You'll find out, Mr. Shepherd.

00:09:11Um, can you pull up over here, please?

00:09:14Mr. Gates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners.

00:09:24And we're going to have a meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today.

00:09:30Make sure everyone is there.

00:09:35Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.

00:09:41Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.

00:09:42I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.

00:09:45Ben Harrison, you're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.

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

00:10:04Only after then, my darling, we can get married.

00:10:08Laura, what are you doing here?

00:10:10Security?

00:10:11Get that woman out of here.

00:10:12We don't need cleaners at this event.

00:10:14And why wouldn't I be here?

00:10:16This is a business event, after all.

00:10:19Business?

00:10:20You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.

00:10:23A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.

00:10:25Just get out.

00:10:27Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.

00:10:30You should have taken my $100,000 offer.

00:10:33Oh, Ben.

00:10:34I really think that you can sign this contract without me.

00:10:37Oh, Laura, this is really important for me.

00:10:39Do not ruin this, okay?

00:10:41You don't belong here.

00:10:43Just get out!

00:10:49That's what you get.

00:10:50This contract is mine to give or take away as I see fit.

00:11:02Don't be ridiculous!

00:11:03This is insane!

00:11:04Who do you think you are?

00:11:06Yeah, put that down.

00:11:07You have no idea what you're doing.

00:11:09Security?

00:11:10She's lost a mind!

00:11:11This is a disaster!

00:11:13Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,

00:11:17but since you clearly don't deserve it...

00:11:47You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?

00:11:49You're so silly, Laura.

00:11:51Oh, please, honey.

00:11:52You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.

00:11:55Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.

00:11:58I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.

00:12:02And after careful consideration,

00:12:06I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.

00:12:10You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?

00:12:15You have no authority here.

00:12:16Of course she has the authority.

00:12:25That's the man that Laura went with the other day.

00:12:27What is he doing here?

00:12:28Mr. Shepard?

00:12:29How does he know her?

00:12:30Is that really Brian Shepard?

00:12:32Laura, are you alright?

00:12:36Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.

00:12:39There must be some sort of misunderstanding.

00:12:41There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.

00:12:43Mr. Harrison.

00:12:44This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.

00:12:48Effective immediately.

00:12:52Wait a minute. This contract, I thought you said you got it.

00:12:54It's her. She ruined the contract. You are his mistress, aren't you?

00:12:59An affair? She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?

00:13:05Mom, please, it's okay. This man is-

00:13:07Don't touch me!

00:13:09That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair and you just stand there?

00:13:14You're a disgrace.

00:13:15An adulterer.

00:13:16You deserve to be ar-

00:13:17Shut up!

00:13:18Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.

00:13:27Tricked? Why don't you answer a question yourself then?

00:13:33What was my name before we got married?

00:13:37Laura Lewis, right?

00:13:39Lewis Group? The Financial Giants?

00:13:41There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.

00:13:45What? That's crazy.

00:13:48There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name. That's absurd.

00:13:52It's- it's- it's absurd!

00:13:56A High Society Aeros wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood!

00:14:00Yeah, yeah, it's a lie. It's a lie. This woman was a waitress when I met her.

00:14:04In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.

00:14:08She's nothing special. She only married me out of gratitude.

00:14:10I was... just... a waitress.

00:14:14How convenient for your story, Ben.

00:14:16First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.

00:14:19Okay, listen up, everybody.

00:14:21When- when I met her, I'd only just started my business.

00:14:24Mm-hmm. Now look at me.

00:14:26I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.

00:14:28And look at her. Still just a clear.

00:14:31Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.

00:14:35She's doing all this out of spite.

00:14:37She's lying, Mr. Shepard.

00:14:38She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?

00:14:44Let's make something clear.

00:14:47I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.

00:14:50I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.

00:14:58Don't lie. You were never good enough for Ben when you married him. Oops.

00:15:02That roof was built with lies, Kathy. You never respected me.

00:15:08And Ben? Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.

00:15:13And the cheating.

00:15:15I think you're blaming the wrong person.

00:15:17You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.

00:15:22If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy.

00:15:29Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.

00:15:32From everything.

00:15:33Everything.

00:15:38Wait, wait, wait, wait, Laura.

00:15:39You think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?

00:15:42And then just walk out like nothing happened?

00:15:44I don't think so. You're a cleaner.

00:15:46You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.

00:15:48Nobody cares about you.

00:15:50Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.

00:15:53I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.

00:16:03I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.

00:16:06I think all jobs are important, right, Mom?

00:16:09Ben, what are you doing?

00:16:11But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.

00:16:16A janitor?

00:16:17Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?

00:16:26You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal.

00:16:30Weren't you, Miss Slate?

00:16:32Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.

00:16:34This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.

00:16:39I... but, well...

00:16:41A lie, you say?

00:16:42Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.

00:16:45But I don't recognize you.

00:16:48Is this true, Miss Smith?

00:16:52Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.

00:16:55This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.

00:16:59But the contract...

00:17:01I mean, Laura tore it up.

00:17:03So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?

00:17:07Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.

00:17:10Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis involved.

00:17:13I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.

00:17:18Today, I want to make it clear.

00:17:23Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.

00:17:27Miss Smith, you lied to us. You destroyed everything.

00:17:31What? No, it's a misunderstanding. I can explain.

00:17:35Lewis? Lewis family group? This can't be.

00:17:37Believe what you want, Ben.

00:17:38Lewis group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.

00:17:40Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.

00:17:43And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.

00:17:46Everyone, listen to me.

00:17:47Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison Group.

00:17:49A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.

00:17:52The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.

00:17:53Everyone here deserves to see the truth.

00:17:54Everyone here deserves to see the truth.

00:17:55Everyone here deserves to see the truth.

00:17:56All of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.

00:17:57And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.

00:18:01You can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.

00:18:03Everyone, listen to me.

00:18:04The Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison Group.

00:18:09A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.

00:18:16The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.

00:18:19Everyone here deserves to see the truth.

00:18:23Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?

00:18:32Help!

00:18:34Mom!

00:18:35Someone get a doctor!

00:18:36Mom!

00:18:37It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.

00:18:43Indeed.

00:18:44Perhaps it's best to leave them through it.

00:18:58What?

00:18:59What now?

00:19:00Mom, this is not all on me.

00:19:03Not on you.

00:19:04I was trying to help.

00:19:06She cheated on you with Shepard.

00:19:09Flaunted their affair.

00:19:10Exactly.

00:19:12And those dresses?

00:19:13Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?

00:19:16Miss Smith, how could you do this?

00:19:19We trusted you completely.

00:19:21No, no.

00:19:22I got Ben the deal.

00:19:24I had no idea Shepard would fall for Bora.

00:19:27She's a liar.

00:19:28Stop it, Amber.

00:19:29You lied to us just as much as she did.

00:19:32Lied?

00:19:34You're on my side.

00:19:36And anyways, I have a plan.

00:19:38The Shepards are no one special.

00:19:40We can expose Laura in all her lies.

00:19:43Go national.

00:19:45We can make ourselves a household name.

00:19:46Now if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to me.

00:19:52Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.

00:19:56Thank you as well for standing up with me.

00:19:57It's all right, Laura.

00:19:58You deserve the credit for all your hard work.

00:19:59Can I ask you something?

00:20:00Do you have any place to stay tonight?

00:20:01Maybe a hotel?

00:20:02Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.

00:20:03I'll be fine.

00:20:04Excuse me, you can just drop me off.

00:20:05Actually, Laura.

00:20:06Actually, Laura.

00:20:07There is something else.

00:20:09Would you consider going out for dinner sometime?

00:20:11Just casually, of course.

00:20:12Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?

00:20:13Please, call me Brian.

00:20:16And yes, technically, you're single now.

00:20:20Yes, that may be true, but um, going out with it.

00:20:21Would you consider going out for dinner sometime?

00:20:22No way?

00:20:23You're not going out with it.

00:20:24Oh, you're not going out with it.

00:20:25I'm not going out with it.

00:20:26I'm going out with it.

00:20:27Oh, I'm going out with it.

00:20:29I'm going out with it.

00:20:31You're going out with it.

00:20:32No worries.

00:20:33No worries.

00:20:34No worries, I'm going out with it.

00:20:37Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.

00:20:38I'll be fine.

00:20:39Excuse me, you can just drop me off.

00:20:40Actually, Laura, actually, Laura, there is something else.

00:20:41Going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.

00:20:48Proper?

00:20:50Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.

00:20:54Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.

00:20:58Those are qualities I truly admire.

00:21:02So what do you say?

00:21:04Dinner?

00:21:06Just two people getting to know each other.

00:21:11I'm sorry, Mr. Shepherd.

00:21:13I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't get out.

00:21:17Wait, Laura.

00:21:18Just here is fine.

00:21:22Laura?

00:21:27Laura, who is it?

00:21:29Laura, wait!

00:21:31Jason, find out who owns that car and do it fast.

00:21:41Ian Lewis, who is this?

00:21:46It's Amber Smith.

00:21:48Mr. Lewis?

00:21:49I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.

00:21:54I don't know who you are, Miss Smith.

00:21:57How did you get this number?

00:21:59Don't worry about that right now.

00:22:01I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.

00:22:04Someone I know very well.

00:22:06Impersonating my niece?

00:22:09And where is this fake Laura?

00:22:13Right here in Maplewood.

00:22:15And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.

00:22:18Well, what is she doing exactly?

00:22:22And more to the point, what do you want from me?

00:22:27In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?

00:22:30I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.

00:22:34All will be revealed then.

00:22:36Very well.

00:22:38I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.

00:22:41But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...

00:22:44It won't be.

00:22:45Trust me, Mr. Lewis.

00:22:47Thank you, Mr.

00:22:47That little rascal Laura.

00:22:57I wonder what she's up to now.

00:22:59That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family butler.

00:23:07Oh.

00:23:09Lewis family?

00:23:11That's interesting.

00:23:13Could she be connected to them somehow?

00:23:16I'm not sure.

00:23:19Brian!

00:23:20There you are.

00:23:21I've missed you.

00:23:23Chloe.

00:23:25What are you up to?

00:23:26Chloe, what are you doing here?

00:23:28What do you mean?

00:23:30Can't I visit the man I love?

00:23:32We ended things for a reason.

00:23:34It was just one teensy mistake.

00:23:36I was...

00:23:37I was a little bit tipsy.

00:23:39Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?

00:23:41Teensy mistake, you said?

00:23:42You cheated on me.

00:23:48Is this your new fling?

00:23:50Ex-divorcey.

00:23:51It's just a clean floor.

00:23:54It's quite the catch, you say.

00:23:56Look, my relationship with her is none of your business.

00:24:00And don't you dare talk about her like that.

00:24:03Please.

00:24:05An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.

00:24:09It's a classic story.

00:24:10That's enough.

00:24:12I'll get the hell out of my office.

00:24:13You want to be careful, Brian.

00:24:16Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.

00:24:19If you want Shepard Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.

00:24:27Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.

00:24:30This is it.

00:24:38The Lewis Group vice presidents are on the top floor.

00:24:40Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.

00:24:45I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.

00:24:49Well, well, well.

00:24:51Look who it is.

00:24:52What a surprise.

00:24:54Did Brian teach you already?

00:24:56That's none of your business.

00:24:58Now, move aside, please.

00:25:00Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?

00:25:04You really think you can just ruin my events again?

00:25:06Haven't you ruined my life enough?

00:25:07Don't you have any shame?

00:25:09If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.

00:25:13Oh, the nurse.

00:25:14After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them, too?

00:25:19Seriously?

00:25:20I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.

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

00:25:26You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?

00:25:29Please, you're no one compared to me.

00:25:31You don't deserve to be here.

00:25:33The only ones who don't belong here are you three.

00:25:38And you, idiot.

00:25:40Believing every lie that she tells you.

00:25:42Wake up, Ben.

00:25:43Oh, Laura!

00:25:45Laura, come on.

00:25:46Why do you always pull this on me?

00:25:48I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?

00:25:52I know what this is.

00:25:53So stupid.

00:25:56Oh, shut your trap.

00:25:58Amber spoke directly with the CEO.

00:26:00He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.

00:26:04Yeah.

00:26:04Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.

00:26:07And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.

00:26:10Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this?

00:26:21Oh, that's rich.

00:26:23You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.

00:26:25I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.

00:26:30Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?

00:26:33You mean my uncle?

00:26:36Ian, don't be ridiculous.

00:26:38Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.

00:26:43And besides, this looks fake.

00:26:46She's a liar.

00:26:48This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.

00:26:52It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.

00:26:58She's lying.

00:26:59They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.

00:27:05Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?

00:27:09Not that I know of.

00:27:11See?

00:27:12She's lying.

00:27:13There you have it, Laura.

00:27:15Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.

00:27:17Go on, get lost before things get worse.

00:27:19Here, take this one.

00:27:24Lead me to the vice president's.

00:27:25You have no idea what you just did.

00:27:30There will be consequences.

00:27:34Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,

00:27:40why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?

00:27:44Security, security, we need this woman removed immediately.

00:27:48She is harassing me.

00:27:49We're done with your games, Laura.

00:27:50You're just a fraud.

00:27:52Man, please move me.

00:27:53What?

00:27:53Hold on.

00:27:58Brian Shepard?

00:27:59You think money buys you the right to walk all over people?

00:28:02Well, it doesn't.

00:28:03Yeah.

00:28:04Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?

00:28:07What other plans do you have to destroy this time?

00:28:09Get you out?

00:28:10After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.

00:28:12Don't play dumb.

00:28:15We know exactly what's been happening here.

00:28:17How long has this little affair been going on?

00:28:19You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.

00:28:22Hold on a second.

00:28:24An affair?

00:28:25You think Laura and I...

00:28:27You people are unbelievable.

00:28:32Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP.

00:28:35We have a situation.

00:28:37What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?

00:28:39Is that it?

00:28:40We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn.

00:28:42Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.

00:28:44How can I help you this evening?

00:28:46Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.

00:28:49It seems there's a misunderstanding.

00:28:52These people don't think that I belong here.

00:28:56Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.

00:28:59A cleaner?

00:29:00Nonsense.

00:29:00I personally agreed to Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.

00:29:05Exactly.

00:29:07Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.

00:29:14I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.

00:29:17No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.

00:29:21She's been this way since my son divorced her.

00:29:24She's insane.

00:29:25Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.

00:29:29She helped secure a profitable investment for Sheppard Group.

00:29:33No, it's a lie.

00:29:36Mr. Sheppard, she's tricking you too.

00:29:38You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.

00:29:48Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?

00:29:51Wait, is that why you're covering for her?

00:29:53Huh?

00:29:53Because of the affair?

00:29:54Because she slept with you?

00:29:55Excuse me.

00:29:56Of course.

00:29:57Who are you and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?

00:29:59Enough of this.

00:30:00She's right.

00:30:00That's enough.

00:30:01Have you ever embarrassed yourself enough?

00:30:03This is Lewis Group property.

00:30:05Behave or I'll call security.

00:30:07But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access.

00:30:11She shouldn't be here.

00:30:12Since you're having trouble understanding them, let me make it clear.

00:30:17This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.

00:30:21It's mine to come or go as I please.

00:30:29Thank you for stepping in, Brian.

00:30:31I owe you one.

00:30:33We'll talk about this later.

00:30:34Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Rivers.

00:30:40Excuse me, Vice Presidents.

00:30:53I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.

00:30:57I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today.

00:31:00Maplewood Branch.

00:31:02Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Miss Smith.

00:31:07Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?

00:31:11Ian Lewis...

00:31:12Mr. Lewis reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.

00:31:19Oh, expansion plans?

00:31:23Miss Smith?

00:31:24A decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.

00:31:27And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.

00:31:31But Ian Lewis assured me that...

00:31:35Miss Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.

00:31:38Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.

00:31:41Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...

00:31:44Miss Smith, we'd like you to leave.

00:31:46If you don't, we'll call security.

00:31:53Hey, stop there.

00:31:55These elevators are VIP only.

00:31:57Back, please.

00:31:58Of course.

00:31:59My apologies.

00:32:06Laura?

00:32:10Vice Presidents!

00:32:11It's so good to see all of you again.

00:32:14Miss Lewis.

00:32:16It's been too long.

00:32:17Your return is a lifesaver, Miss Lewis.

00:32:20The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.

00:32:26The board are begging you to come back, Miss Lewis.

00:32:31Well, please sit.

00:32:33Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.

00:32:37We've got a meeting planned, we've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.

00:32:43Local powerhouses and smaller players, too.

00:32:47They'll all be there in one spot.

00:32:48Miss Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.

00:32:52Miss Lewis, she claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.

00:33:00She said that, did she?

00:33:02Well, Miss Smith is a liar.

00:33:04There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.

00:33:07She lied so blatantly, it was, it's unbelievable.

00:33:11Bob, don't worry.

00:33:12I found a much more suitable partner.

00:33:17Shepherd Group.

00:33:18Shepherd Group?

00:33:19Their rise to a public company has been impressive.

00:33:21Do you have anything to do with that?

00:33:26So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?

00:33:30Oh, don't worry about Amber.

00:33:34I've got plans for her.

00:33:38Miss Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the legend from us.

00:33:47Cheers.

00:33:48Cheers.

00:33:51No, I'm not leaving.

00:34:00What are you talking about?

00:34:01No, come on.

00:34:01Wait!

00:34:02I'm Amber Smith.

00:34:03I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch.

00:34:05What are you doing?

00:34:06These are my guests.

00:34:06Yeah, that's right.

00:34:07Tell them who we are.

00:34:08Yes, we were waiting for Miss Smith.

00:34:12Lewis Group, Maplewood branch?

00:34:14No such thing, ma'am.

00:34:15And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.

00:34:18Oh, of course.

00:34:19Laura!

00:34:20Laura, she's probably sleeping with the manager as well.

00:34:23That's how she gets away with everything.

00:34:25You underestimate her, Kathy.

00:34:27She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.

00:34:30No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.

00:34:33Careful with your words.

00:34:34Both of you.

00:34:36Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.

00:34:39Look who can't even get into a meeting.

00:34:43Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.

00:34:47And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.

00:34:50Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.

00:34:53Used me?

00:34:54Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.

00:34:57You're so stupid.

00:34:59She threw you away like yesterday's trash.

00:35:02Don't worry, Brian.

00:35:04You deserve better.

00:35:05And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group, appointed by

00:35:10the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.

00:35:14New branch manager, huh?

00:35:17Interesting.

00:35:18Laura Lewis?

00:35:19What are you doing here?

00:35:20Get out of here!

00:35:21You claim to be the mystery guest.

00:35:24Don't play games, Laura.

00:35:26I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.

00:35:30Only the top companies get those.

00:35:33Looks like you're all out of luck.

00:35:35Is that so?

00:35:37Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.

00:35:42You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.

00:35:47And I decide who goes to the meetings.

00:35:52Escort them out.

00:35:53What?

00:35:54Their visit is over.

00:35:56Oh, come on.

00:35:56This way, please.

00:35:58I'm not leaving.

00:36:00Move.

00:36:01We're not leaving again.

00:36:02Move.

00:36:02Oh, no, no, no.

00:36:03We're not going.

00:36:03Now.

00:36:04Okay, fine, fine.

00:36:05This isn't over, Laura.

00:36:06You'll see.

00:36:10Thanks for waiting, Ben.

00:36:13Laura, I'm glad you're okay.

00:36:17And thank you for defending me.

00:36:21I really appreciate it.

00:36:25Um, are you coming to the meeting?

00:36:29Yes, but it's going to be tricky.

00:36:35Why?

00:36:35I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.

00:36:41Yes, Laura.

00:36:44There's something you should know.

00:36:47Is this about Ben?

00:36:50Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.

00:36:54He won't even get past security.

00:36:56Laura, it's not Ben.

00:36:59It's someone else.

00:37:03Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?

00:37:08Yes.

00:37:10Her name is Chloe Duke.

00:37:13She is daughter of the Duke family.

00:37:15She's my ex-fiancé.

00:37:20And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.

00:37:25And, let's just say we didn't end things so well.

00:37:32And for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.

00:37:36And, you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting for...

00:37:46Out of jealousy?

00:37:51There's a possibility.

00:37:53She's kind of jealous.

00:37:55Well, all the more reason for you to be there.

00:38:00So, I'll be there too.

00:38:03Laura, would you consider being my guest at the meeting?

00:38:12What?

00:38:13Are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too?

00:38:17Maybe a little.

00:38:18But, mostly, I want to show them we're a team.

00:38:22Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.

00:38:28Laura.

00:38:28I don't care about your best.

00:38:35I just want to be by your side.

00:38:38I think I'm falling for you.

00:38:43Ryan.

00:38:44Ryan.

00:38:49I appreciate your honesty.

00:38:52And, right now, I'm just not...

00:38:56I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.

00:39:00Just with everything going on.

00:39:02And going on.

00:39:04It's okay.

00:39:05I just want to be upfront.

00:39:08And if Glutra is anything,

00:39:10you won't face her alone.

00:39:16There's just one thing I do need.

00:39:18What is it?

00:39:22A formal dress.

00:39:35Ah, security!

00:39:37She doesn't belong here.

00:39:38This is a private store.

00:39:40Excuse me.

00:39:41We need some assistance.

00:39:43I'm looking for a very particular dress.

00:39:46Wow.

00:39:49It's beautiful.

00:39:51It is.

00:39:52I'll try this one on.

00:39:54Don't bother with her.

00:39:55She can't afford anything here.

00:39:57She's just a cleaner.

00:39:58She doesn't deserve to shop here.

00:40:00She has no money.

00:40:03Yeah, exactly.

00:40:04I mean, what are you doing here?

00:40:06Can't you just leave me alone?

00:40:07I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared.

00:40:10I'm here for retail therapy.

00:40:12Oh, please.

00:40:14This store is for the A-list only.

00:40:16Not some cheatskate like you.

00:40:18Says the woman who barged into my marriage.

00:40:21Hey, show some respect.

00:40:24Typical Laura.

00:40:25Just thinks she can buy anything she wants

00:40:26with someone else's money.

00:40:28I would have asked you,

00:40:29but without me,

00:40:30I'm sure you're already booked.

00:40:32Oh, please.

00:40:33Come on, we'll take the dress.

00:40:34Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.

00:40:38What do you mean you don't sell it?

00:40:40I want it.

00:40:41Name your price.

00:40:42It's not about the price, ma'am.

00:40:45This one was custom made for Miss Lewis,

00:40:46the Lewis Group heiress.

00:40:48The entire brand belongs to her.

00:40:50This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.

00:40:54It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.

00:40:56What are you talking about?

00:40:58Of course it would suit her.

00:40:59It'd fit her just fine.

00:41:00And if it wouldn't fit me,

00:41:02it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.

00:41:04Well, buy in the whole store.

00:41:06Allow me to purchase this dress.

00:41:07Oh, please.

00:41:13Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?

00:41:16We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.

00:41:18Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.

00:41:21You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.

00:41:23Could you please tell me more about this dress?

00:41:26Of course.

00:41:27It was custom made for Laura Lewis,

00:41:31heiress to the Lewis Group fortune,

00:41:33hand-stitched in Italy, naturally.

00:41:35And apparently there are many more like it.

00:41:37This would be high-end stores and museums

00:41:41around the world from her private collection.

00:41:44Laura, do you like this dress?

00:41:47Of course.

00:41:48It's custom made for me.

00:41:50I'm just here to take what's already mine.

00:41:53Oh, you can't be serious.

00:41:54There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.

00:41:58Fine, fine.

00:41:59If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?

00:42:02It would look incredible on me.

00:42:04Miss, this dress is very delicate.

00:42:07If I may be frank,

00:42:08I don't think this would fit you properly.

00:42:12Are you calling me fat?

00:42:13Actually, on a second thought,

00:42:15why don't we just buy the whole brand?

00:42:18How's that sound?

00:42:19Sir, are you serious?

00:42:21You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?

00:42:24This brand is worth at least $50 million.

00:42:27And to buy it for a waitress?

00:42:30Are you out of your mind?

00:42:32Yes.

00:42:32You see, even if you had the money,

00:42:34they wouldn't sell it to you.

00:42:35Just one second.

00:42:39Yes, this is Brian Shepard,

00:42:41CEO of Shepard Group.

00:42:43I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.

00:42:46I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.

00:42:52What?

00:42:55Sorry, sir.

00:42:56That brand is not for sale.

00:42:59You see, if we can't have it,

00:43:01neither can you.

00:43:04Mr. Yates,

00:43:06yes, this is Laura Lewis.

00:43:08I'm calling to discuss the sale

00:43:10of our high-end clothing brand, too.

00:43:13To Shepard Group.

00:43:15Oh, come on.

00:43:16Calling the Lewis family butler

00:43:17won't get you anywhere, sweetie.

00:43:19Exactly.

00:43:20Come on, this is pathetic.

00:43:21You really think this is going to work?

00:43:22It's sad.

00:43:23Excellent.

00:43:25Thank you, Mr. Yates.

00:43:26That's all.

00:43:34Yes?

00:43:38What?

00:43:38Are you willing to sell me the brand?

00:43:44Awesome.

00:43:49Hello?

00:43:51Yes?

00:43:52Wow.

00:43:53Yes, of course.

00:43:55Absolutely.

00:43:59This store,

00:44:00along with the entire brand,

00:44:01has been sold to Mr. Shepard.

00:44:03The Shepard Group is the new owner.

00:44:06How may I be upstairs today, sir?

00:44:07Well,

00:44:09Lauren,

00:44:10I don't know much about pressure,

00:44:12so I would like to give

00:44:13this brand to you.

00:44:14You can't be serious.

00:44:16You don't have the kind of money

00:44:18to buy this store.

00:44:19Don't listen to her, Brian.

00:44:22You two just go do whatever

00:44:23you do somewhere else.

00:44:25You're not welcome here.

00:44:26I want the two of these

00:44:27out of my store.

00:44:28I want the two of these

00:44:34out of my store.

00:44:35Of course.

00:44:38Oh, come on.

00:44:39Sir?

00:44:40Ma'am?

00:44:41You afraid I have to ask you to leave?

00:44:42Well, we're not leaving.

00:44:43Okay?

00:44:43Hey, hey, hey!

00:44:45This isn't over, Laura!

00:44:47Could I try the dress on now?

00:44:48Of course, Miss Lewis.

00:44:50You just follow me.

00:44:51Wow.

00:44:59Miss Lewis,

00:45:01this dress really was made for you.

00:45:05Laura,

00:45:06you look

00:45:07breath-taking in this dress.

00:45:09Brian,

00:45:10why would you do

00:45:12all of this

00:45:14for me?

00:45:16Laura,

00:45:16because you deserve

00:45:20everything beautiful

00:45:21in the world.

00:45:23And that includes

00:45:24this dress.

00:45:28Will you give us a chance

00:45:29to see where things could go?

00:45:32I...

00:45:32I need a moment.

00:45:35Perhaps we could

00:45:36talk some more about this

00:45:37after the investment meeting?

00:45:41Does that mean

00:45:42you could be a yes?

00:45:44Maybe.

00:45:46Hi.

00:45:58Hi.

00:46:01What?

00:46:03Well, well, well.

00:46:06Look who decided

00:46:06to join the party.

00:46:08Playing dress-up again, Laura?

00:46:09One more disrespectful remark

00:46:11towards Laura, Miss Smith.

00:46:12And you understand

00:46:13the meaning of rude.

00:46:15You threatening my girlfriend

00:46:16in front of everyone

00:46:17for this,

00:46:18Miss Gold Digger.

00:46:20You know, Ben,

00:46:21I really cared about you

00:46:23even after all the

00:46:24horrible things

00:46:25you said to me

00:46:25after our divorce.

00:46:27I know the name

00:46:28of a great psychologist

00:46:29in New York.

00:46:30Maybe the shrinks

00:46:31in Maplewood

00:46:32aren't equipped

00:46:34to deal with your issues.

00:46:36Enough!

00:46:37I've had enough

00:46:38of this drama.

00:46:39Yeah, me too.

00:46:40Try that again,

00:46:41and you'll regret it.

00:46:43Now, get the hell

00:46:44on my face.

00:46:46Let's see if you two

00:46:47even make it past the door.

00:46:48Yeah.

00:46:50I'm sorry, Miss Smith,

00:46:52but your name's not

00:46:53on the guest list.

00:46:54What?

00:46:54That's impossible.

00:46:56I was invited

00:46:57by the CEO himself.

00:46:58Unfortunately,

00:47:02neither Harrison Group

00:47:03or Smith Group.

00:47:04The name is on the list.

00:47:06Looks like you two

00:47:07won't be getting let in

00:47:08after all.

00:47:10You don't have an invitation.

00:47:12You're just here

00:47:12because of Brian.

00:47:17Let me see this.

00:47:18This doesn't even look real.

00:47:19It's different from mine.

00:47:21Why don't you ask her

00:47:22if it's real?

00:47:23This appears to be

00:47:27a VIP invitation

00:47:28from the Vice President.

00:47:31Please, right this way.

00:47:32We can continue

00:47:33this discussion later.

00:47:35If you manage to get in.

00:47:40Sir?

00:47:41Madam?

00:47:42We recommend you leave.

00:47:45There you are!

00:47:47How dare you

00:47:47steal my fiancée!

00:47:51There you are!

00:47:52How dare you

00:47:53steal my fiancée!

00:47:55Looks like another

00:47:56relationship

00:47:56fights the dust, Laura.

00:47:58Looks like stealing men

00:48:00is a happy horse.

00:48:01Get away from him!

00:48:03He's engaged to me!

00:48:04Hey, hey, hey.

00:48:05Hold your horses, Gwen.

00:48:06That ended a long time ago.

00:48:09Engaged to you.

00:48:10Everyone in Maplewood

00:48:12knows what you did

00:48:13to Brian.

00:48:14Your relationship's history.

00:48:17That was just a little tiff.

00:48:18You really think

00:48:19that could tear us apart?

00:48:20Don't you know who I am?

00:48:24Don't pretend like

00:48:25you don't know.

00:48:26Oh, honey.

00:48:27She don't recognize royalty,

00:48:29let alone a duke.

00:48:30She's just a maid, remember?

00:48:32I don't have time

00:48:33for all this drama.

00:48:35Brian?

00:48:37Let's head inside.

00:48:39Brian!

00:48:40How could you choose

00:48:41this cleaner

00:48:42over me?

00:48:43Are you really gonna

00:48:45humiliate me

00:48:46in front of all

00:48:46of Maplewood?

00:48:47There's nothing

00:48:48left to say, Gloria.

00:48:49Don't make this a scene.

00:48:51Shall we?

00:48:58You okay, Miss Duke?

00:49:00And you are?

00:49:02Amber Smith.

00:49:03I'm the Maplewood branch

00:49:05manager of Lewis Group.

00:49:06What branch?

00:49:07I've never heard of it.

00:49:08What do you want from me?

00:49:09That Laura!

00:49:10She tore up my invitation.

00:49:13Do you think

00:49:13you can get me inside?

00:49:14What, your little

00:49:15manager title

00:49:16couldn't get you

00:49:17past the front door?

00:49:18Please don't

00:49:19waste my time.

00:49:40If I can't have Brian,

00:49:53neither can you.

00:49:55The Duke family

00:49:56has more influence

00:49:57than you think.

00:49:59Chloe!

00:50:00Good to see you.

00:50:01I've been expecting you.

00:50:02Uncle Jones,

00:50:03how are you?

00:50:04Good.

00:50:06I need your help

00:50:07with something.

00:50:08What is it?

00:50:09Anything for my

00:50:10little Chloe.

00:50:12It's Brian.

00:50:13Who's that

00:50:14woman?

00:50:15I thought you were...

00:50:16She's a con woman.

00:50:18She actually used to be

00:50:19a cleaner

00:50:19in his company.

00:50:21What?

00:50:22Are you saying

00:50:23Brian left

00:50:24you for

00:50:25a cleaner?

00:50:27Well, she's pretending

00:50:28to be a Lewis

00:50:28to get close to him.

00:50:31What are you planning?

00:50:33I want to destroy

00:50:34Shepard Group.

00:50:35Anyway,

00:50:40I'm terribly sorry

00:50:41about Chloe.

00:50:43I had no idea

00:50:44she would be so...

00:50:45intense.

00:50:50What do you mean?

00:50:51You so should have

00:50:53taken her up

00:50:54on her offer.

00:50:54I mean,

00:50:54you guys are just...

00:50:56power couple.

00:50:58I see what she's doing.

00:51:02Power couple,

00:51:03you say?

00:51:04More like a

00:51:05disaster

00:51:06waiting to happen.

00:51:09Anyway,

00:51:10shall we take a seat?

00:51:11Actually,

00:51:12Brian,

00:51:12my seat

00:51:14is...

00:51:15up there.

00:51:18Really?

00:51:19She doesn't

00:51:20deserve to sit there.

00:51:21Excuse me.

00:51:22This is my

00:51:23VIP invitation.

00:51:25I can sit

00:51:26wherever I like.

00:51:28Hey,

00:51:29what do you think

00:51:29you're doing?

00:51:30This is signed

00:51:31by all three

00:51:32VPs of Lewis Group.

00:51:33Where did you get this?

00:51:36Who did you

00:51:36have to sleep with?

00:51:37That's enough.

00:51:40This is getting us

00:51:41nowhere.

00:51:42Laura is my guest

00:51:44and I will not

00:51:45tolerate

00:51:46any kind

00:51:47of disrespect

00:51:48towards her.

00:51:49Got it?

00:51:50Mr. Shepard,

00:51:52what do you see

00:51:53in that woman?

00:51:55Miss Duke

00:51:55is a perfect match

00:51:56for you.

00:51:57She's from a good family,

00:51:59beautiful

00:51:59and successful.

00:52:02What more

00:52:02could you ask for?

00:52:04That's a good question.

00:52:05Not much,

00:52:06actually.

00:52:08Honesty,

00:52:09that's what I want.

00:52:12And love.

00:52:14Things that clearly

00:52:15Chloe has no idea.

00:52:17I said I was sorry.

00:52:18What more

00:52:20do you want?

00:52:21I've watched

00:52:22Chloe grow up.

00:52:23She's like a daughter

00:52:24to me.

00:52:25I won't allow her

00:52:26to be spoken to

00:52:27like that.

00:52:32One more chance,

00:52:33Brian.

00:52:33Let's forget

00:52:34all this nonsense.

00:52:36Do it,

00:52:37Mr. Shepard.

00:52:38Propose.

00:52:39Right here.

00:52:40Right now.

00:52:42Brian?

00:52:42Is this how

00:52:47the Duke family

00:52:47handles business deals?

00:52:49By forcing

00:52:51a ring on someone?

00:52:53Do it,

00:52:54or you can kiss goodbye

00:52:55all future investments

00:52:56with the Duke family.

00:53:02Don't you dare.

00:53:04You're humiliating yourself.

00:53:07Dare you?

00:53:08Do you really like

00:53:09this nobody from nowhere?

00:53:10Yes.

00:53:13I like her.

00:53:16But I can't imagine

00:53:17someone like her

00:53:18interested in me.

00:53:21The truth is,

00:53:23I wouldn't be here

00:53:24where I am today

00:53:25without her.

00:53:27Why would you

00:53:27choose someone like her?

00:53:30Exactly.

00:53:31This woman is Trevor.

00:53:32She doesn't belong here.

00:53:33Throw her out.

00:53:35You do realize

00:53:36that there is no

00:53:37investment meeting

00:53:38without me?

00:53:39Interesting turn

00:53:41of events.

00:53:42Perhaps it's time

00:53:43we shed some light

00:53:44on your mysterious past.

00:53:46Do you

00:53:47actually think

00:53:48that just because

00:53:49you have the name

00:53:50Laura

00:53:50that you're

00:53:51the missing heiress

00:53:52Laura Lewis?

00:53:53You know what?

00:53:57Maybe you're right,

00:53:58Chloe.

00:53:58How ridiculous?

00:54:00Is that what

00:54:01you've been telling

00:54:01everyone?

00:54:02I'm sure that

00:54:03the Duke family

00:54:05still values

00:54:06cooperation,

00:54:07but wow,

00:54:10did I underestimate

00:54:10your foolishness,

00:54:12Chloe?

00:54:13You have no right

00:54:14to talk to Miss Duke

00:54:15like that.

00:54:16That's enough.

00:54:17You don't get to talk here.

00:54:19You got mad,

00:54:19Shepard.

00:54:20You dare to go

00:54:21against Miss Duke.

00:54:21And the same applies

00:54:22to everyone else here.

00:54:24Anyone who insults Laura.

00:54:27Leave us with a black eye.

00:54:29It's willing to

00:54:29offend the Duke for her.

00:54:31What kind of charm

00:54:32does she have?

00:54:33I want to be careful,

00:54:34Brian.

00:54:35Don't forget that

00:54:35this entire hotel chain

00:54:37is owned by the

00:54:37Lewis Group.

00:54:38Are you willing

00:54:39to get blacklisted

00:54:40for this public tantrum?

00:54:42The Lewis Group

00:54:43isn't blacklisting anyone,

00:54:45especially not

00:54:47Shepard Group.

00:54:51Lewis Group R.S.?

00:54:54You?

00:54:55Don't make me laugh.

00:54:58Security,

00:54:59remove these two

00:55:00impostors from the premises.

00:55:02Wait, Uncle Jones.

00:55:03Give Brian another chance.

00:55:05Choose, Brian.

00:55:07Me and the future

00:55:08you deserve

00:55:09or this

00:55:09fraud.

00:55:11Chloe,

00:55:14I have everything

00:55:16I ever wanted

00:55:17right here.

00:55:19And I wouldn't trade

00:55:20all the powers

00:55:21it took so long

00:55:21to make it work.

00:55:23Fine.

00:55:29Short the stock

00:55:30of the Shepard Group.

00:55:31What?

00:55:33You forced

00:55:34my hand, Brian.

00:55:36Now Shepard Group

00:55:37is ruined.

00:55:37The Juke family.

00:55:39They can't be serious.

00:55:40Shepard Group

00:55:41is doomed.

00:55:42Brian,

00:55:43you don't have

00:55:44to do this

00:55:45for me.

00:55:47Laura,

00:55:48I will never

00:55:49let anyone

00:55:49bully you,

00:55:51let alone them.

00:55:52Thank you,

00:55:54Brian,

00:55:54for

00:55:55believing in me,

00:55:58for

00:55:58protecting me.

00:56:01Now it's my turn

00:56:02to protect you.

00:56:03Listen carefully.

00:56:12I need you

00:56:12to protect

00:56:13the Shepard Group

00:56:14stock

00:56:15at all

00:56:16costs.

00:56:17Don't let it

00:56:18drop

00:56:18even one

00:56:20cent.

00:56:22Do you understand?

00:56:23Wow.

00:56:25Award-winning

00:56:26performance,

00:56:27Laura.

00:56:27But you can't

00:56:28possibly control

00:56:29the stock.

00:56:30Want to put

00:56:31your money

00:56:32where your mouth

00:56:33is,

00:56:33Chloe?

00:56:35If

00:56:35the Shepard

00:56:37stock holds

00:56:38for the next

00:56:41five minutes,

00:56:43you owe me

00:56:45a public

00:56:46apology.

00:56:52Do.

00:56:52Well,

00:56:58looks like

00:56:59your five

00:57:00minutes

00:57:01is up.

00:57:02Let's see

00:57:03how the

00:57:03Shepard stock

00:57:04is stealing.

00:57:08What the?

00:57:10The Shepard

00:57:11group stock

00:57:11prices?

00:57:12It's going

00:57:13up!

00:57:14This can't

00:57:14be happening.

00:57:15It must be

00:57:16a coincidence.

00:57:16Why didn't

00:57:23you short

00:57:23the stock

00:57:24like I

00:57:24asked?

00:57:25There was

00:57:26a huge

00:57:26investment.

00:57:27We couldn't

00:57:27compete.

00:57:28Shepard's

00:57:29stock price

00:57:29is being

00:57:29heavily

00:57:30supported.

00:57:32How did

00:57:32you do

00:57:33this?

00:57:34Like I

00:57:34said,

00:57:35Chloe,

00:57:36I'm

00:57:38Laura Lewis.

00:57:40Oh,

00:57:40you're not.

00:57:41You're just

00:57:41some cleaner.

00:57:42You don't

00:57:42have access

00:57:43to billions.

00:57:45Well,

00:57:45I think

00:57:47it's time

00:57:47for my

00:57:48apology.

00:57:54No.

00:57:55I think

00:57:56it's time

00:57:56for my

00:57:57apology.

00:57:57There's

00:57:58no way

00:57:58I'm

00:57:58apologizing

00:57:59to you.

00:58:00If things

00:58:01were the

00:58:01other way,

00:58:01would you

00:58:02be so

00:58:02quick to

00:58:03forgive me?

00:58:04Chloe,

00:58:05the truth

00:58:05is,

00:58:07everyone

00:58:08here has

00:58:10seen you

00:58:10be a

00:58:11bully,

00:58:12and a

00:58:12coward,

00:58:13and now

00:58:14a sore

00:58:16loser.

00:58:18This is

00:58:18so humiliating

00:58:20for her.

00:58:21How did

00:58:21she manage

00:58:22that?

00:58:23Maybe she

00:58:23really is

00:58:24a Lewis.

00:58:26Apologize

00:58:26to Miss

00:58:26Lewis.

00:58:28Shut up.

00:58:29Don't you

00:58:29don't talk

00:58:30about Miss

00:58:30Duke like

01:00:08head of Duke

01:00:09Industries.

01:00:10So glad you

01:00:10could join us.

01:00:11Why is everyone

01:00:11standing around?

01:00:12It's her.

01:00:14She's making a huge

01:00:15scene trying to claim the

01:00:16VIP seat.

01:00:17It's embarrassing.

01:00:18That seat's reserved for the

01:00:20Lewis Group VIP guest.

01:00:22Specifically the

01:00:23family heir.

01:00:24Please get off the

01:00:25stage.

01:00:25Oh yes.

01:00:28Mr.

01:00:28Young,

01:00:30I think I remember

01:00:31you.

01:00:31You manage

01:00:32my family's

01:00:34investments.

01:00:36Don't pretend

01:00:36like you know

01:00:37what's going on.

01:00:38Please get off the

01:00:39stage.

01:00:40That seat's

01:00:40reserved for the

01:00:41Lewis family heir.

01:00:42I need to make

01:00:43one thing

01:00:44crystal

01:00:45clear.

01:00:46I

01:00:50am the

01:00:52heir

01:00:53of the

01:00:54Lewis family.

01:00:58This is ridiculous.

01:01:00You,

01:01:01the Lewis heir.

01:01:02Don't you know

01:01:03that Miss Lewis

01:01:03is a legend around

01:01:04here?

01:01:05You must be out

01:01:06of your mind

01:01:06trusting a complete

01:01:07stranger like this.

01:01:08Exactly.

01:01:09We ran a background

01:01:10check on her

01:01:11and it turns out

01:01:12she's just some

01:01:13cleaner that used

01:01:13to work for the

01:01:14Harrison Group.

01:01:15Before that,

01:01:16a cashier in my

01:01:17family's supermarket.

01:01:19See,

01:01:20Brian,

01:01:20this is who you've

01:01:21been chasing after.

01:01:22A liar and a

01:01:23cheat.

01:01:24Security,

01:01:25get this imposter

01:01:26out of here.

01:01:27And everyone

01:01:28here is a witness.

01:01:29Why would

01:01:29any of you

01:01:30trust Laura?

01:01:32If any of you

01:01:33dares to harm her,

01:01:35you have to go

01:01:36through me first.

01:01:38Brian,

01:01:39she's just a

01:01:39nobody.

01:01:41She's just someone

01:01:42that the Harrison

01:01:43Group ditched.

01:01:44they didn't even

01:01:45want her.

01:01:46What exactly

01:01:46do you see in her?

01:01:48Escort this

01:01:48imposter out of here.

01:01:50Now.

01:01:51Oh, Peter.

01:01:59Peter,

01:02:00do you have

01:02:01any idea

01:02:02what you're doing?

01:02:03Mr. Yates,

01:02:05I'm so glad

01:02:06you could join us.

01:02:06Miss Lewis,

01:02:09sorry about the delay

01:02:11and for all the

01:02:12trouble you've had

01:02:13to put up with.

01:02:14It's no trouble,

01:02:16Mr. Yates.

01:02:17Luckily,

01:02:17I haven't been

01:02:18alone.

01:02:19I've had the

01:02:20great company

01:02:20of my very

01:02:21loyal friend.

01:02:25Wait a minute.

01:02:26She's Miss Lewis.

01:02:27Is this a joke?

01:02:29Mr. Young,

01:02:30you're new to the

01:02:31Lewis Group,

01:02:32so I can understand

01:02:33why you wouldn't

01:02:34recognize Miss Lewis.

01:02:36But she listened

01:02:37to lies without

01:02:38checking the facts

01:02:39and almost called

01:02:41the police.

01:02:43Tell me,

01:02:45Mr. Young,

01:02:46who put you

01:02:46up to this?

01:02:48Was it my uncle,

01:02:49Ian Lewis?

01:02:49I knew it.

01:02:57Consider this your

01:02:58termination.

01:03:01I get it now.

01:03:03This is all an act,

01:03:04right?

01:03:05Chloe,

01:03:05what are you doing?

01:03:06We still want to

01:03:06work with the Lewis

01:03:07family.

01:03:07Work with them?

01:03:08Are you blind?

01:03:09This woman is clearly

01:03:10having an affair

01:03:11with this old man.

01:03:13That's enough,

01:03:14young lady.

01:03:15You've got no right

01:03:16to disrespect the head

01:03:16of the Lewis Group.

01:03:17Oh,

01:03:20Chloe,

01:03:21I can't believe

01:03:21we're going

01:03:22through this again.

01:03:23I think you need

01:03:24some professional

01:03:25help.

01:03:27Maybe I could make

01:03:27you an appointment

01:03:28with a great

01:03:28psychiatrist.

01:03:29Chloe,

01:03:30that's enough.

01:03:31It's ridiculous.

01:03:32If you were really

01:03:33the Lewis family heir,

01:03:34you would have

01:03:34the ring.

01:03:35So why don't you

01:03:36show it to everyone?

01:03:37Show us the ring!

01:03:42Why don't you

01:03:42show that to everyone?

01:03:44Show us the ring!

01:03:46Show us the ring!

01:03:47Who?

01:03:47are you

01:03:48to make demands

01:03:49of me?

01:03:50I don't answer

01:03:51to anyone

01:03:51but myself.

01:03:54I don't need

01:03:55any

01:03:56of your validation.

01:04:00Oh, my God.

01:04:05Vice Presidents,

01:04:06I'm Chloe Duke

01:04:08of the Duke family.

01:04:09This woman

01:04:09is an imposter.

01:04:11Miss Lewis,

01:04:12we apologize

01:04:13for the delay.

01:04:14How could you

01:04:15just let that con woman

01:04:16sit there?

01:04:17get her out of here?

01:04:18This seat

01:04:19was always

01:04:19for Miss Lewis.

01:04:21She's the special guest

01:04:23we've been waiting for.

01:04:25The investment queen.

01:04:27The real heir

01:04:28to Lewis Group.

01:04:30Laura Lewis.

01:04:31She was a divorced host wife,

01:04:33a janitor.

01:04:34How can she?

01:04:34She can't be.

01:04:35It's a lie.

01:04:36I'm telling you,

01:04:37it's a lie.

01:04:38Do you think we'd lie?

01:04:40We run Lewis Group.

01:04:42Oh, Chloe,

01:04:44you assaulted me

01:04:45earlier.

01:04:47And you came to this meeting

01:04:49to what?

01:04:50Sabotage it.

01:04:52You'll be hearing

01:04:53from our legal team.

01:04:54Is this true,

01:04:58Miss Duke?

01:04:59Did you try

01:04:59and sabotage

01:05:00this meeting?

01:05:02Yes,

01:05:03it's all true.

01:05:04She fooled us all.

01:05:06The Duke tricked us

01:05:07to keep

01:05:08Lewis Group

01:05:08out of Maplewood

01:05:10and control

01:05:10everything themselves.

01:05:12I have no idea.

01:05:14But I'm on your side.

01:05:16I can give you

01:05:17everything you need.

01:05:18All the resources

01:05:19in Maplewood.

01:05:20Miss Lewis,

01:05:21how would you like

01:05:22us to deal with this?

01:05:24An eye

01:05:25for an eye.

01:05:29Since

01:05:29Miss Duke

01:05:31here

01:05:32loves

01:05:33ruining things,

01:05:35I'll target

01:05:36her precious

01:05:37Duke

01:05:38Industries.

01:05:40I want them

01:05:41bankrupt in

01:05:42ten minutes.

01:05:44You're bluffing.

01:05:45You're nobody.

01:05:46You'll always be

01:05:47a nobody.

01:05:48And you can't

01:05:49touch me.

01:05:50Then,

01:05:50consider this

01:05:51a test,

01:05:53Chloe.

01:05:54I didn't need

01:05:55my family's support

01:05:56with Shepard

01:05:56and I certainly

01:05:58don't need it now.

01:05:58Chloe,

01:06:00you dug your own grave.

01:06:02You think

01:06:02you can destroy

01:06:04Maplewood's leading

01:06:05family with just

01:06:05the Shepard group?

01:06:07Please.

01:06:08Hmm.

01:06:10We'll see.

01:06:16Dad?

01:06:18Slow down.

01:06:19What are you

01:06:19talking about?

01:06:22No.

01:06:24It's impossible.

01:06:26Chloe,

01:06:26what have you done?

01:06:28Years of hard work.

01:06:29Destroyed in minutes.

01:06:34What did you do?

01:06:37Well,

01:06:38Chloe,

01:06:39isn't this what you wanted?

01:06:41To give me a little taste

01:06:43of destruction?

01:06:43This is impossible.

01:06:46It's impossible.

01:06:47It's impossible.

01:06:48Chloe,

01:06:49what have you done?

01:06:51The news is everywhere.

01:06:53Shepard's launched

01:06:53a full-scale

01:06:54of SOB

01:06:54on the stock market.

01:06:56They're hammering

01:06:57our shares.

01:06:58Are you sure

01:06:59it's just Shepard's?

01:07:00Yes!

01:07:01Shareholders

01:07:01are dumping

01:07:02our stock

01:07:03like it's

01:07:03a hot potato.

01:07:05We could go

01:07:05bankrupt.

01:07:06You've ruined

01:07:07everything.

01:07:08Don't worry,

01:07:09Mr. Duke.

01:07:09When your company

01:07:11does go bankrupt,

01:07:13I'll buy it.

01:07:14At a fire sale price.

01:07:15Your employees

01:07:16won't even be affected.

01:07:17Brilliant.

01:07:18a masterstroke,

01:07:19Ms. Lois.

01:07:21Now,

01:07:22this

01:07:23is my event.

01:07:26Please leave.

01:07:27Brian,

01:07:27I did this for us.

01:07:29Everything I did,

01:07:30I did for us,

01:07:31Brian.

01:07:33Chloe,

01:07:34you need help.

01:07:37These feelings

01:07:38you have for me,

01:07:39it's not love.

01:07:41It's obsession.

01:07:43Enough.

01:07:45If you don't want

01:07:45to ruin everything

01:07:46completely,

01:07:47you'll come with me.

01:07:48Right now.

01:07:50Right now.

01:07:52No.

01:07:53No.

01:07:54No.

01:07:58No.

01:07:59No.

01:08:00Laura!

01:08:01This isn't over!

01:08:03Get out of me!

01:08:05What is it?

01:08:05What?

01:08:06You hear me?

01:08:09What is going on here?

01:08:11Did they finally

01:08:12expose Laura's lies?

01:08:13Shepard Group.

01:08:15They're the new partner

01:08:15that's partnering up

01:08:16with Lois Group

01:08:17for Maplewood.

01:08:18They're handling all

01:08:19future construction projects.

01:08:21That can't be.

01:08:22What about us?

01:08:23That was our project.

01:08:25Remember,

01:08:25Laura teamed up with Brian.

01:08:27Harrison Group

01:08:28is practically out.

01:08:29We have no chance.

01:08:30We can't give up

01:08:31that easily.

01:08:32Remember,

01:08:33Ian Lewis himself

01:08:34appointed me

01:08:35as general manager.

01:08:36In a few days,

01:08:37he promised that

01:08:38he would let us meet

01:08:39with the new heir.

01:08:39You're right.

01:08:41If we can just

01:08:41meet with the new heir,

01:08:42we can bypass

01:08:43the Shepards

01:08:44and meet directly

01:08:45with the Lewis Group.

01:08:46We just have to play

01:08:47their little game

01:08:48and see who comes

01:08:49out on top.

01:08:51That's right.

01:08:55Vice Presidents,

01:08:56allow me to introduce

01:08:58my associate,

01:09:00Brian Shepard.

01:09:01I'm sure

01:09:02I've mentioned him more.

01:09:03Mr. Shepard,

01:09:04finally a pleasure

01:09:05to meet you.

01:09:06We've looked into

01:09:07your company's

01:09:08financial review.

01:09:10Very impressive.

01:09:12Thank you, bud.

01:09:13A large part

01:09:14of that success

01:09:15is next to

01:09:16Ms. Lewis.

01:09:17No.

01:09:18She practically

01:09:19saved me

01:09:19from disaster.

01:09:21Three times over now.

01:09:22Brian,

01:09:22you can just

01:09:23call me Laura.

01:09:25Ms. Lewis'

01:09:26recommendation

01:09:27is very telling,

01:09:28Mr. Shepard.

01:09:30Perhaps today

01:09:31clarifies everything.

01:09:32Mr. Shepard,

01:09:33this opportunity

01:09:34is going.

01:09:36Seizing.

01:09:38A woman like Laura

01:09:39is not easy to find.

01:09:41Thank you

01:09:42for your kind words,

01:09:43Mr. Vice President.

01:09:52Did Laura send you

01:09:53to kill me?

01:09:54Laura?

01:09:55Hardly.

01:09:56I'm Ian Lewis,

01:09:58CEO and rightful

01:09:59heir of the

01:10:00Lewis Group.

01:10:03So you're

01:10:04Laura's uncle?

01:10:05In the flesh.

01:10:07So Laura

01:10:08really is your niece?

01:10:10Yes,

01:10:11little Laura.

01:10:12She just threw

01:10:13away her birthright

01:10:14about two,

01:10:15three years ago.

01:10:16Ran off

01:10:17and married a nobody

01:10:18from Maplewood.

01:10:19I think he was

01:10:20a Harrison.

01:10:21Now Laura's

01:10:22got the VPs

01:10:23and Mr. Yates

01:10:23on her side.

01:10:25Did you hear

01:10:25she's throwing

01:10:25a banquet in a few

01:10:26days to announce

01:10:27her official takeover?

01:10:29And we can't

01:10:29let that happen,

01:10:30can we, my dear?

01:10:32If you're Ian Lewis,

01:10:33wouldn't you have

01:10:34the family ring?

01:10:35Well, my dear,

01:10:36that's where you come in,

01:10:38Miss Duke.

01:10:38We need you

01:10:39to relinquish my ring.

01:10:43What if I fail?

01:10:44My family is already

01:10:45ruined.

01:10:46Yes,

01:10:47you are in a spot

01:10:48of bother,

01:10:49I must say.

01:10:50But,

01:10:51if successful,

01:10:52I guarantee

01:10:53that you

01:10:53and the Duke family

01:10:55will get back

01:10:56everything you've lost.

01:10:58Laura's got the

01:10:58VPs and Brian

01:10:59on her side.

01:11:00How can I possibly

01:11:01get the ring?

01:11:02There is a way,

01:11:03you know,

01:11:04that we can make

01:11:05Laura relinquish

01:11:07and give up

01:11:08that ring

01:11:08willingly.

01:11:09Laura, my dear,

01:11:12welcome.

01:11:14Uncle Ian,

01:11:15it's so good

01:11:16to see you.

01:11:21Laura.

01:11:21It's so good

01:11:22to see you.

01:11:23And you,

01:11:24it's been

01:11:24too long,

01:11:26two,

01:11:27three years,

01:11:27perhaps.

01:11:28How have you been?

01:11:29I've been well,

01:11:30Uncle Ian.

01:11:32Thank you for asking.

01:11:33I see you've been

01:11:35busy keeping

01:11:36Lewis' group afloat.

01:11:37Yes.

01:11:38Couldn't have been easy.

01:11:39Indeed.

01:11:39somebody had to.

01:11:41I mean,

01:11:41after you left me

01:11:42with everything to do,

01:11:44without a safe pair of hands,

01:11:45I hate to think

01:11:46it would have happened

01:11:46to the company.

01:11:48Actually,

01:11:49Uncle Ian,

01:11:50from what I've heard,

01:11:52you've lost billions

01:11:53with some

01:11:54questionable

01:11:55investment decisions.

01:11:57Yes.

01:11:58Minor mistakes.

01:11:59Minor.

01:12:00Don't worry,

01:12:01Uncle Ian.

01:12:01I won't hold it against you.

01:12:03Oh.

01:12:04Good.

01:12:05Well,

01:12:05cheers to you

01:12:07coming back here

01:12:07and

01:12:09the Lewis' group.

01:12:11Oh!

01:12:13I'm so sorry,

01:12:15Laura.

01:12:15How clumsy of me.

01:12:17No,

01:12:17no worries,

01:12:18Uncle Ian.

01:12:19I'll just go

01:12:21to the restroom

01:12:22and get cleaned up.

01:12:23Of course.

01:12:25Right away,

01:12:25just down to the left.

01:12:32Use it wisely.

01:12:34me.

01:12:35Oh,

01:12:35I will.

01:12:50Hey,

01:12:51Laura.

01:12:52How's that?

01:12:53Hello,

01:12:53Brian.

01:12:54Your little girlfriend

01:12:55is with me now.

01:12:56Chloe,

01:12:56how in the hell

01:12:59did you get

01:12:59Laura's phone?

01:13:00Let's just say

01:13:01that I have my ways.

01:13:03Listen,

01:13:04Chloe,

01:13:05don't hurt her.

01:13:07Please.

01:13:08I'll do anything.

01:13:11Come to the abandoned

01:13:12warehouse

01:13:13in the eastern suburbs.

01:13:15Now.

01:13:17Don't tell anyone

01:13:18if you want her alive.

01:13:22Well,

01:13:22you certainly

01:13:23do have your ways.

01:13:28Oh,

01:13:28thank goodness

01:13:29you've cleared up.

01:13:30I am sorry.

01:13:30How clumsy.

01:13:32And don't forget

01:13:32your phone.

01:13:33I retrieved it for you.

01:13:35Oh,

01:13:35I'm going to be in.

01:13:36Lovely to see you again.

01:13:37Yeah.

01:13:38I guess

01:13:38I'll see you the day

01:13:40after tomorrow

01:13:40at the banquet.

01:13:41At the banquet.

01:13:42I'll see you then.

01:13:45Will do.

01:13:46Looking forward to it.

01:13:50Laura!

01:13:51Laura!

01:13:52Where are you?

01:13:53Laura!

01:13:55Laura!

01:13:56Where are you?

01:13:58Laura!

01:13:59Laura,

01:14:00where are you?

01:14:01Oh!

01:14:06I got you.

01:14:09You weren't expecting

01:14:10that,

01:14:10were you?

01:14:12finally.

01:14:23Looks like

01:14:24your little boyfriend

01:14:24got turned around.

01:14:25What the?

01:14:26Laura,

01:14:27where are you?

01:14:27Laura?

01:14:28Laura?

01:14:29Go shut your mouth.

01:14:31Chloe,

01:14:32what have you done?

01:14:34You out of your mind?

01:14:35Out of my mind!

01:14:37You were the one

01:14:37that left me

01:14:38for that tramp

01:14:39and destroyed my life!

01:14:40That's not true.

01:14:41You were the one

01:14:42who messed up!

01:14:43Brian!

01:14:44Laura!

01:14:47Stay where you are.

01:14:49You better

01:14:49come alone.

01:14:50You shot this knife,

01:14:52Chloe.

01:14:53This is insane!

01:14:54Insane?

01:14:56I did this for us,

01:14:57Brian!

01:14:58We were meant to be together.

01:15:01Us?

01:15:02You've gone crazy!

01:15:03And you're here!

01:15:04Chloe,

01:15:06kidnapping

01:15:06is a very

01:15:08serious event.

01:15:09They're going to lock you up

01:15:10for years!

01:15:11You think I care

01:15:12about jail time?

01:15:14All I care about

01:15:15is tearing you too apart.

01:15:17You don't deserve him.

01:15:19What have you done?

01:15:21You've destroyed my life!

01:15:23My company,

01:15:24everything!

01:15:26Now I'm going to

01:15:27destroy your life.

01:15:29Give me

01:15:29your family ring now.

01:15:31Give it to me!

01:15:33This is about the ring.

01:15:34Did my uncle Ian

01:15:36put you up to this?

01:15:39You know, Chloe,

01:15:41trying to kill me,

01:15:42that's foolish.

01:15:45Because who do you think

01:15:46is going to win?

01:15:48You?

01:15:49That will not hurt.

01:15:50Or...

01:15:52me?

01:15:54Something a little bit

01:15:55more persuasive.

01:15:55Freeze!

01:16:05Don't move, anyone.

01:16:09Don't move.

01:16:11You're about to be

01:16:11arrested for kidnapping.

01:16:13Miss Lewis,

01:16:15having fun without me?

01:16:17I'm hurt.

01:16:20Are you hurt?

01:16:21No, I'm okay.

01:16:25Tell me, Chloe.

01:16:28Who put you up

01:16:29to this, Chloe?

01:16:31Why should I tell you?

01:16:32You're going to

01:16:33kill me anyway.

01:16:35Chloe, I don't have

01:16:36a problem with you.

01:16:37But if you don't talk,

01:16:40your beloved Duke Industries

01:16:43might run into some.

01:16:45Well, I'm recording

01:16:45everything, Miss Lewis.

01:16:48So the choice is yours, Chloe.

01:16:50Talk,

01:16:52or face the consequences.

01:16:53Fine.

01:16:55It was Ian Lewis.

01:16:56He said he'd help Duke Industries

01:16:58if I kept you away

01:16:59from the bank room today.

01:17:02Did you get all of that,

01:17:03Mr. Yates?

01:17:04I'm recording everything,

01:17:06Miss Lewis.

01:17:09Oh, every word,

01:17:10Miss Lewis.

01:17:11Are you ready to play a game,

01:17:13Brian?

01:17:13This is crazy.

01:17:26Are we really sure

01:17:26we can do this?

01:17:27All these big companies here,

01:17:28it's crazy.

01:17:30Absolutely.

01:17:31The Lewis Group

01:17:32is under new leadership.

01:17:33We can talk to the heiress herself.

01:17:35Exactly.

01:17:36We just need to make sure

01:17:37we make a good impression

01:17:38on the new heir.

01:17:40There's Ian Lewis now.

01:17:42You can introduce yourself.

01:17:43Let's go.

01:17:43Yeah.

01:17:46Hello, Ian Lewis.

01:17:47I'm Amber Smith.

01:17:48We spoke on the phone

01:17:49the other day.

01:17:50This is Ben Harrison

01:17:51from Harrison Group.

01:17:52How do you do?

01:17:53We're the company that...

01:17:54Yes, I know who you are.

01:17:56Miss Smith,

01:17:56you're the one

01:17:57who exposed

01:17:57Laura's little drama.

01:17:59Now look,

01:18:00I'm not here

01:18:00for idle chatter.

01:18:06Good evening,

01:18:07ladies and gentlemen.

01:18:07Could I ask you all

01:18:08to be seated, please?

01:18:12The moment

01:18:13you've all been waiting for.

01:18:15Tonight marks

01:18:16a new chapter

01:18:16in the life

01:18:17of the Lewis Group.

01:18:19A night where

01:18:19the rightful heir

01:18:20takes their place.

01:18:21Would you please

01:18:23join me

01:18:23in welcoming

01:18:24the heir

01:18:25to the Lewis Group,

01:18:26Miss Laura Lewis.

01:18:28Look, everybody,

01:18:29attention.

01:18:30Attention, please.

01:18:32There's been

01:18:33a recent development

01:18:35of some tragedy.

01:18:38I just got noticed

01:18:39from a phone call

01:18:40a couple of minutes ago

01:18:41that Laura

01:18:42has been in a car accident.

01:18:45And tragically,

01:18:46she hasn't made it.

01:18:48She has not survived.

01:18:51What?

01:18:53Laura Lewis is dead?

01:18:56It doesn't matter now.

01:18:57She's gone.

01:18:58Mr. Lewis,

01:18:59is this new...

01:19:00A tragic turn of events,

01:19:01Mr. Yates.

01:19:02But rest assured,

01:19:03the Lewis Group

01:19:04will continue

01:19:05under my competent leadership.

01:19:08Hold on!

01:19:10Who said that I'm dead?

01:19:13Laura.

01:19:14Laura.

01:19:14I don't understand.

01:19:20What's happening?

01:19:22Laura?

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

01:19:25My apologies

01:19:26for the delay, everyone.

01:19:28There seems to be

01:19:29some misunderstanding.

01:19:31Laura,

01:19:32what are you doing here?

01:19:33You've got to stop this.

01:19:34If you upset

01:19:35the Lewis family anymore,

01:19:36we're all doomed.

01:19:36I'll save this once.

01:19:38Back off, then.

01:19:44Thank you

01:19:45for coming, everyone.

01:19:47As I'm sure you know,

01:19:49tonight,

01:19:50I officially

01:19:51reclaim

01:19:52my title

01:19:53as the CEO

01:19:55of Lewis Group.

01:19:58Perhaps

01:19:59you

01:20:00could make some room for me.

01:20:02Uncle Ian?

01:20:03Impossible.

01:20:04How are you still alive?

01:20:06Well, clearly,

01:20:07I am alive

01:20:07and well,

01:20:08so why don't we

01:20:09get this started?

01:20:10No.

01:20:11You're not

01:20:12the rightful heir.

01:20:14You gave that away

01:20:15when you married

01:20:15Ben Harrison.

01:20:18Uncle Ian,

01:20:19is that seriously

01:20:20your argument

01:20:20that you have

01:20:21that I got married

01:20:22too quickly?

01:20:23Well,

01:20:24you went off

01:20:25to Maplewood

01:20:25three years ago

01:20:26and married a stranger

01:20:27and left me

01:20:28to work tirelessly

01:20:29keeping the company together.

01:20:31Uncle Ian,

01:20:32retire.

01:20:34Enjoy

01:20:34your retirement.

01:20:36Lewis Group

01:20:37will be perfectly fine

01:20:38without you.

01:20:39No.

01:20:39There can only be

01:20:40one heir

01:20:41and that's me.

01:20:43And the rightful heir

01:20:44has possession

01:20:45of this.

01:20:48You think a ring

01:20:49makes an heir?

01:20:51You're even more foolish

01:20:52than I could have

01:20:52ever imagined.

01:20:55Give that back to me.

01:20:56This.

01:20:57Yes.

01:20:58You think some

01:20:59shiny gold thing

01:21:01makes you the heir?

01:21:02Give it back.

01:21:04True leadership

01:21:05is about earning

01:21:07the respect

01:21:08of those around you.

01:21:10Not some stupid ring.

01:21:13Oh, my ring?

01:21:14What have you done?

01:21:15Where is it?

01:21:18My ring?

01:21:19Oh.

01:21:20Now,

01:21:21everyone,

01:21:22if I could have

01:21:22your attention.

01:21:23Now,

01:21:24let me show you

01:21:26how a true

01:21:27heir

01:21:27earns a ring

01:21:29like that.

01:21:32Talk.

01:21:33It's fine.

01:21:35It was Ian Lewis.

01:21:37He said he helped

01:21:39you can destroy

01:21:39the body

01:21:39kept you away

01:21:40from the bankers today.

01:21:44Oh,

01:21:44quite the spectacle,

01:21:45Mr. Lewis.

01:21:47Security,

01:21:48escort him out.

01:21:50And Ian,

01:21:51don't fall over.

01:21:52It's all lies.

01:21:53It's all lies.

01:21:54Fakery.

01:21:55It's fake news.

01:21:55The truth is clear.

01:21:56Get him out of here.

01:21:57Now.

01:22:02I owe all of you

01:22:03an apology

01:22:04for everything

01:22:05that's happened tonight.

01:22:07Turns out,

01:22:07reclaiming my birthright

01:22:09didn't go as smoothly

01:22:10as I had hoped.

01:22:13Luckily,

01:22:14these past few days,

01:22:15I've had

01:22:16Mr. Shepard

01:22:18by my side.

01:22:20And he has been

01:22:21a great

01:22:25has a lot

01:22:26of exciting plans

01:22:31to announce

01:22:31that

01:22:32we have secured

01:22:33a reliable

01:22:35partner.

01:22:38Shepard Group.

01:22:39What?

01:22:40Laura,

01:22:40hold on.

01:22:41This was never

01:22:43my idea.

01:22:43This was all

01:22:44Kathy and Amber's fault.

01:22:45I don't want a divorce.

01:22:47What?

01:22:47Ben, what are you saying?

01:22:48You came to me first.

01:22:50Classic Ben.

01:22:51Something goes wrong

01:22:52and you start

01:22:53pointing the fingers

01:22:54at all the women

01:22:55in your life.

01:22:56Just don't

01:22:57shut Harrison Group out.

01:22:58Just give me

01:22:59another chance.

01:23:00How could I

01:23:01shut you out?

01:23:02I'm just a cleaner,

01:23:03remember?

01:23:04I'm just a useless

01:23:05housewife.

01:23:07I don't have that power.

01:23:10What are you talking about?

01:23:11What?

01:23:11No, come on.

01:23:12Sorry.
