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

00:26:29speaking of Brian where is he right now you mean my uncle Ian don't be ridiculous
00:26:37Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself and besides this looks fake she's a liar
00:26:47this is a personal invitation for Mr. Yates himself it grants me access to the VIP elevator which leads
00:26:56straight to the vice presidential suite she's lying they don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel

00:28:16been happening here how long has this little affair been going on you've been sleeping with her since

00:28:44how can I help you this evening thank you mr. Carter for getting down here so quickly
00:28:49it seems there's a misunderstanding these people don't think that I belong here well mr. Carter I can
00:28:57assure you this woman is a cleaner a cleaner nonsense I personally agreed to miss Lewis upon
00:29:02her arrival in Maplewood three years ago exactly Lewis group my company has some major investments
00:29:12planned here in Maplewood I was just here investigating potential business opportunities
00:29:18no this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground
00:29:22she's been this way since my son divorced her she's insane actually I've met Laura three years
00:29:27ago at the coffee shop she helped secure a profitable investment for shepherd group
00:29:33no it's a lie Mr. Shepherd she's tricking you too
00:29:41you know it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them
00:29:47mr. Carter would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator wait is that why you're covering for
00:29:52her huh because of the affair because she slept with you excuse me who are you and how dare you
00:29:58speak to miss Lewis that way that's enough having you embarrass yourself enough this is Lewis group property
00:30:05behave or I'll call security but she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access she shouldn't be here
00:30:12since you're having trouble understanding Ben let me make it clear this 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 I owe you what we'll talk about this later
00:30:35well it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision Mr. Harris
00:30:42I think so
00:30:45don't you think we don't have a seat come in
00:30:50excuse 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
00:31:06Miss Smith are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up
00:31:11Ian Lewis Mr. Lewis reassured me that today we would discuss
00:31:17well expansion plans
00:31:21expansion plans
00:31:23Miss Smith a 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
00:31:44Miss Smith we'd like you to leave if you don't we'll call security
00:31:53hey stop there this elevator is a vip only back please

00:32:52yes she claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch
00:32:59for the Lewis group she said that did she well Miss Smith is a liar there is no Maplewood
00:33:05branch at least not yet she lied so blatantly it was it's unbelievable
00:33:10Bob don't worry I found a much more suitable partner
00:33:17shepherd group
00:33:17shepherd group
00:33:19shepherd group
00:33:19their rise to a public company has been impressive

00:34:12Lewis group Maplewood branch no such thing ma'am
00:34:15and frankly I'm not interested in your act
00:34:18oh of course Laura 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 she'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

00:35:29to the investment meeting only the top companies get those
00:35:32looks like you're all out of luck is that so
00:35:37well then there seems to be a misunderstanding

00:37:20and let's say things didn't end so well between us and
00:37:28let's just say we didn't end things so well
00:37:30and for some reason she's having a hard time moving on
00:37:38and you think that she's gonna cause problems at the meeting for
00:37:48out of jealousy there's a possibility she's kind of jealous
00:37:53well all the more reason for you to be there

01:14:30Chloe, what have you done?
01:14:33You out of your mind?
01:14:34Out of my mind!
01:14:36You were the one that left me for that tramp and destroyed my life!
01:14:40That's not true. You were the one who messed up!
01:14:42Ryan!
01:14:43Laura!
01:14:44Stay where you are. You better not come alone.
01:14:50Shut this knife, Chloe. This is insane!
01:14:54Insane? I did this for us, Brian!
01:14:57We were meant to be together.
01:15:00Us? You've gone crazy! Then you're out of here.
01:15:04Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious event. They're going to lock you up for years!
01:15:11You think I care about jail time? All I care about is tearing you apart!
01:15:16You don't deserve him!

01:16:01I'm hurt.
01:16:02Are you hurt?
01:16:03No, I'm okay.
01:16:12Miss Lewis? Having fun without me? I'm hurt.
01:16:19Are you hurt?
01:16:21No, I'm okay.
01:16:25Tell me, Chloe, who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:16:30Why should I tell you? You're gonna kill me anyway.
01:16:34Chloe, I don't have a problem with you, but if you don't talk,
01:16:40your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:16:44Oh, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:47So the choice is yours, Chloe. Talk or face the consequences.
01:16:53Fine. It was Ian Lewis. He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the bank room today.
01:17:01Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:17:04I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:17:08I owe every word, Miss Lewis.
01:17:11Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:17:24This is crazy. Are we really sure we can do this? All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:17:29Absolutely. The Lewis Group is under new leadership. We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:35Exactly. We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:17:39There's Ian Lewis now. You can introduce us. Let's go.
01:17:42Yeah.
01:17:44Hello, Ian Lewis. I'm Amber Smith. We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:50This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.
01:17:52How do you do?
01:17:53We're the company that...
01:17:54Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:55Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:17:59Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:18:05Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Can I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:18:11The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:18:14Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:18A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:18:21Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group, Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:27Look, everybody, attention. Attention, please.
01:18:32There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:18:37I just got notice from a phone call a couple of minutes ago that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:18:44And tragically, she hasn't made it. She has not survived.
01:18:51What? Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:55It doesn't matter now. She's gone.
01:18:57Mr. Lewis, is this new...
01:18:59A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:19:01But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.
01:19:08Hold on. Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:13Laura.
01:19:18I don't understand. What's happening?
01:19:21Laura?
01:19:22But weren't you...
01:19:24My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:19:27There seems to be some...
01:19:30misunderstanding.
01:19:31Laura, what are you doing here?
01:19:32You've got to stop this. If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:19:36I'll save this once. Back off, then.

01:20:05Well, clearly I am alive and well. So, why don't we get this started?
