00:00:00Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:10What the hell is going on here?
00:00:13Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:16Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do.
00:00:21Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:25They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:29Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:35Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunchtime.
00:00:45Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:46Mr. Jason, excuse me ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:00:50Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.
00:00:57But losing your cool over a little 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.
00:01:15You can't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:17This is incredible.
00:01:19What's going on?
00:01:21The shirting attempt.
00:01:23It's failing.
00:01:24The price is holding.
00:01:27Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:33We met before.
00:01:35They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard Act.
00:01:38Hold on.
00:01:39Tell me.
00:01:40How could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:42If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:52Jason.
00:01:53Can we have five now?
00:01:54What are you doing?
00:01:55Mr. Yates.
00:01:56What?
00:01:57Only two bodyguards this time?
00:01:58You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:01:59No ma'am, I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:02:01Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:11Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:16Ma'am, I still don't know what you're doing.
00:02:18You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:19No ma'am, I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:02:22Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:26Mr. 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.
00:02:38Anything 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 favor and let Toby walk you up to the house, for my sake.
00:03:00Now come on.
00:03:03Divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:07Why?
00:03:10Why?
00:03:16You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:19The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now,
00:03:22especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:03:25The Sheppard Group.
00:03:27And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:03:30The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:03:34I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:37I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:41You, a cleaning woman, handing out million-dollar deals.
00:03:46Don't make me laugh.
00:03:49I did!
00:03:51It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:54I was the one who got Bryan Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:58What are you doing here?
00:04:00Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:03Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:07A small-town rich person is royalty.
00:04:11And what qualifications do you have to judge, Ms. Cleaner?
00:04:14Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor.
00:04:18Doesn't it, Ben?
00:04:22What's going on?
00:04:24Is this why you want a divorce?
00:04:26Because of her?
00:04:27Oh, please.
00:04:28I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:04:31You're still a cleaner.
00:04:32We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:34Growing apart?
00:04:38No.
00:04:39No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:45I won't sign.
00:04:49Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:51Ben.
00:04:52Alright.
00:04:53Here.
00:04:54A hundred thousand dollars.
00:04:55Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:58A hundred thousand dollars?
00:05:00I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:06Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:09Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:10You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:13This is our active charity to work.
00:05:16Here.
00:05:17A million dollars.
00:05:18Take this.
00:05:19You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:21Just 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 threatening us.
00:05:38I'm so scared.
00:05:40Just leave.
00:05:41You already make this house stink.
00:05:50Thank God she's gone.
00:05:51Go to written store.
00:05:56Sir?
00:05:57Laura Lewis' information.
00:06:02She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:06:04No wonder why she wanted us to partner.
00:06:07Actually, sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:09Divorced her?
00:06:10Divorced her?
00:06:13Wait a minute.
00:06:15Don't you remember?
00:06:16She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:21Yeah.
00:06:22She saved our hiding there.
00:06:23Remember?
00:06:25Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:28I don't know.
00:06:29I don't know.
00:06:30Let's get to the vinyl news.
00:06:34Hey!
00:06:35What are you doing?
00:06:36Let go of me!
00:06:37You attacked Amber.
00:06:38Apologize this instant.
00:06:39Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:40We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:06:41You refused it.
00:06:42And now you're stealing.
00:06:43She couldn't afford it.
00:06:44You're a thief.
00:06:45That's mine!
00:06:46Give it back!
00:06:47Wait!
00:06:48That's enough!
00:06:50Maura?
00:06:51I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:06:52It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:06:56You see?
00:06:57Who are you?
00:06:58Maura's new squeeze?
00:06:59Excuse me.
00:07:00Do you know who I am?
00:07:01Is this true?
00:07:02You hooked up with this man?
00:07:03No.
00:07:04No.
00:07:05No.
00:07:06No.
00:07:07No.
00:07:08No.
00:07:09No.
00:07:10No.
00:07:11No.
00:07:12No.
00:07:13No.
00:07:14No.
00:07:15No.
00:07:16No.
00:07:17No.
00:07:18No.
00:07:19No.
00:07:20No.
00:07:21No.
00:07:22No.
00:07:23No.
00:07:24No.
00:07:25You hooked up with this man, while you were married to my son?
00:07:29Shame on you!
00:07:30Oh, Mr. Shepard, I think.
00:07:31For your information…
00:07:32My name is Brian Shepard, I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:36Oh, please.
00:07:37A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be called dead with a cleaner.
00:07:39You really don't recognise him, do you, Amber?
00:07:43That's really interesting, considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract
00:07:48for 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 his face.
00:07:54Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:59Laura, 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?
00:08:04Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:06It's all right, ma'am.
00:08:08This is none of your business.
00:08:09All rabbed dead bodies.
00:08:11You're not going anywhere until I tell you
00:08:13tell 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,
00:08:20you're nobody.
00:08:21Now go back.
00:08:22What?
00:08:23Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
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.
00:08:34Laura, does Ben even know you were the one
00:08:37who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:40Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:44I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:48After how they treated you,
00:08:50maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:51No.
00:08:52No.
00:08:53Um...
00:08:54No.
00:08:55The event will proceed.
00:08:56Besides,
00:08:58I'll be there.
00:09:02There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:05Who are you?
00:09:06Truly.
00:09:07You'll find out.
00:09:09Mr. Shepard.
00:09:10Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:12Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're going to have a meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today.
00:09:27Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:31Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:39Oh, excellent, Miss Lewis.
00:09:40I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:42Ben Harrison, you're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:56After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:02Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:06Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:08Security, get that woman out of here. We don't need cleaners at this event.
00:10:12Why wouldn't I be here? This is a business event, after all.
00:10:17Business? You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:10:21A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey. Just get out.
00:10:25Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:28You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:31Oh, Ben, do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:36Laura, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:39You don't belong here. Just get out!
00:10:48That's what you get.
00:10:54This contract is mine. To give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:01Don't be ridiculous. This is insane. Who do you think you are?
00:11:04Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:06Security! She's lost a mind! This is a disaster!
00:11:11Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,
00:11:15but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:18Don't deserve it.
00:11:19You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help?
00:11:20You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help?
00:11:21You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:22Oh, please, honey. You couldn't even get out of here.
00:11:23You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help? You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:24Oh, please, honey. You couldn't even get out of here.
00:11:26You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help? You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:31Oh, please, honey. You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:36Security! Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:40I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:11:41And after careful consideration, I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:11:46You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done? You have no authority here.
00:11:47Of course she has the authority.
00:11:48You think ripping up that contract is gonna help? You think ripping up that contract is gonna help? You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:49Oh, please, honey. You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:53Security! Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:56I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds. And after careful consideration, I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:12:08You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done? You have no authority here.
00:12:15Of course she has the authority.
00:12:22That's the man that Laura went with the other day. What is he doing here?
00:12:26Mr. Shepard? How does he know her?
00:12:28Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:30Laura, are you alright?
00:12:34Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman. There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:39There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:42This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated. Effective immediately.
00:12:49Wait a minute. This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:52It's her. She ruined the contract. You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:57An affair? She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:13:03Mom, please, it's okay. This man is-
00:13:05Don't touch me! That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair and you just stand there?
00:13:12You're a disgrace. An adulterer. You deserve to be-
00:13:15Shut up!
00:13:16Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:13:25Tricked? Why don't you answer a question yourself then?
00:13:31What was my name before we got married?
00:13:34Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:36Lewis Group? The Financial Giants?
00:13:39There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:43That's crazy. There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name. That's absurd.
00:13:50It's- It's- It's absurd!
00:13:54A High Society Aeros wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood!
00:13:57Yeah, yeah, it's a lie. It's a lie. This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:14:02In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:14:06She's nothing special. She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:09I was just a waitress. How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:14First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.
00:14:17Okay, listen up, everybody. When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:22Mm-hmm. Now look at me. I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:26And look at her. Still just a clear.
00:14:29Mr. Shepherd, that woman is my son's ex-wife. She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:35She's lying, Mr. Shepherd. She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:42Let's make something clear. I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:49I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:55Don't lie. You were never good enough for Ben when you married him. Oops.
00:15:00That roof was built with lies. Cathy, you never respected me.
00:15:05And Ben? Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:10And the cheating. I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:15:14You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:15:19If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Cathy.
00:15:26Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons. From everything.
00:15:32Wait, wait, wait, wait. Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:39And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:41I don't think so. You're a cleaner. You're a cleaner that cleans toilets. Nobody cares about you.
00:15:47Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:51I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
00:16:01I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding. I think all jobs are important, right, Mom?
00:16:06Ben, what are you doing?
00:16:08But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:16:13A janitor. Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:23You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:28Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie. This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:35I... but, well...
00:16:38A lie, you say. Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:16:43But I don't recognize you.
00:16:45Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:49Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:52This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:56But the contract... I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:17:00So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:04Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:07Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis' involvement.
00:17:12I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:18Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:21Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:28Miss Smith, you lied to us. You destroyed everything.
00:17:32What? No, it's a misunderstanding. I can explain.
00:17:36Lewis? Lewis Family Group? This can't be.
00:17:41Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:43Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:48Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:53And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:18:00Everyone, listen to me.
00:18:02Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
00:18:06A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:13The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:15Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:21Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation as well?
00:18:24Help!
00:18:25Mom!
00:18:26Someone get a doctor!
00:18:27Mom!
00:18:28It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:30Indeed.
00:18:31Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:33What. What now?
00:18:43Mom, this is not all on me.
00:18:56Not on you!
00:18:57Mom, this is not all on me.
00:19:00Not on you. I was trying to help.
00:19:03She cheated on you with Shepard, flaunted their affair.
00:19:07Exactly. And those dresses?
00:19:10Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:19:13Miss Smith, how could you do this? We trusted you completely.
00:19:17No, no. I got Ben the deal.
00:19:21I had no idea Shepard would fall for Bora.
00:19:24She's a liar.
00:19:26Oh, stop it, Amber. You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:19:30Lied? You're on my side.
00:19:34And anyways, I have a plan.
00:19:36The Shepards are no one special.
00:19:38We can expose Laura in all her lies. Go national.
00:19:42We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:46Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to you.
00:19:51Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard. Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:20:01It's alright, Laura. You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:20:04Can I ask you something? Do you have any place to stay tonight? Maybe a hotel?
00:20:08Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard. I'll be fine.
00:20:12Excuse me, you can just drop me off.
00:20:14Actually, Laura. Actually, Laura. There is something else.
00:20:18Would you consider to go out for dinner sometime? Just casually, of course.
00:20:22Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:20:26Please, call me Brian. And yes, technically you're single now.
00:20:34Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:20:44Proper? Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:20:51Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength. Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:21:00So what do you say? Dinner? Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:10I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard. I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't get out.
00:21:15Wait, Laura. Just here is fine.
00:21:16Laura?
00:21:20Laura?
00:21:25Laura, who is it? Laura, wait!
00:21:29Jason, find out who owns that car and do it fast.
00:21:41Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:21:43It's Amber Smith.
00:21:45Mr. Lewis?
00:21:46I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:51I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith. How did you get this number?
00:21:56Don't worry about that right now.
00:21:58I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:22:01Someone I know very well.
00:22:04Impersonating my niece?
00:22:06And where is this fake Laura?
00:22:10Right here in Maplewood. And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:15Well, what is she doing exactly? And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:22:23In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:22:29I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:22:31All will be revealed then.
00:22:33Very well.
00:22:35I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.
00:22:38But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:22:41It won't be.
00:22:42Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:22:43Thank you, Mr.
00:22:50That little rascal, Laura.
00:22:54I wonder what she's up to now.
00:22:59That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubler.
00:23:04Oh.
00:23:06Lewis family?
00:23:08That's interesting.
00:23:10Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:23:14I'm not sure.
00:23:16Brian!
00:23:18There you are.
00:23:19I've missed you.
00:23:20Chloe.
00:23:22What are you up to?
00:23:23Chloe.
00:23:24What are you doing here?
00:23:26What do you mean?
00:23:27Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:29We ended things for a reason.
00:23:32It was just one teensy mistake.
00:23:34I was... I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:37Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:38Teensy mistake, you said?
00:23:40You cheated on me.
00:23:44Is this your new fling?
00:23:48Ex-divorcey.
00:23:50Used a clean floor.
00:23:51It's quite the catch, you say.
00:23:53Look.
00:23:55My relationship with her is none of your business.
00:23:58And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:24:01Please.
00:24:03An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:24:07It's a classic story.
00:24:08It's enough.
00:24:09I've got the hell out of my office.
00:24:12You want to be careful, Brian.
00:24:14Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:17If you want Shepard Group to stay afloat,
00:24:20you ought to be more careful.
00:24:25Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:27This is it.
00:24:29The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.
00:24:31Once I'm done speaking with them,
00:24:32I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:34I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:37Well, well, well.
00:24:38Look who it is.
00:24:39What a surprise.
00:24:40Did Brian teach you already?
00:24:41That's none of your business.
00:24:42Now move aside please.
00:24:43Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
00:24:45You really think you can just ruin my events again?
00:24:46Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:24:47Don't you have any shame?
00:24:48If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:24:49Oh, the nerds.
00:24:50I'm sorry.
00:24:51I'm sorry.
00:24:52I'm sorry.
00:24:53I'm sorry.
00:24:54I'm sorry.
00:24:55I'm sorry.
00:24:56I'm sorry.
00:24:57I'm sorry.
00:24:58I'm sorry.
00:24:59I'm sorry.
00:25:00I'm sorry.
00:25:01I'm sorry.
00:25:02I'm sorry.
00:25:03I'm sorry.
00:25:04I'm sorry.
00:25:05I'm sorry.
00:25:06I'm sorry.
00:25:07I'm sorry.
00:25:08I'm sorry.
00:25:09I'm sorry.
00:25:10Oh, the nerds.
00:25:11After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them
00:25:15too?
00:25:16Seriously?
00:25:17I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:22Oh, that's gold.
00:25:23You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?
00:25:26Please.
00:25:27You're no one compared to me.
00:25:28You don't deserve to be here.
00:25:30The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:25:35And you, idiot.
00:25:37Believing every lie that she tells you.
00:25:39Wake up, Ben.
00:25:40Oh, Laura.
00:25:42Laura, come on.
00:25:43Why do you always pull this on me?
00:25:45I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:25:49I know what this is.
00:25:51So stupid.
00:25:53Oh, such a trap.
00:25:55Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:25:57He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:26:00Yeah.
00:26:01Amber got me a partnership with the Loose Group.
00:26:04And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:26:08Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this.
00:26:18Oh, that's rich.
00:26:19You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.
00:26:22I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Loose Group.
00:26:26Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?
00:26:30You mean my uncle?
00:26:32Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:34Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:26:39And besides, this looks fake.
00:26:42She's a liar.
00:26:44This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:49It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the Vice Presidential Suite.
00:26:54She's lying.
00:26:55They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:27:02Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?
00:27:05Not that I know of.
00:27:07See?
00:27:08She's lying.
00:27:09There you have it, Laura.
00:27:10Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:27:13Go on, get lost before things get worse.
00:27:19Here, take this one.
00:27:20Lead me to the Vice Presidents.
00:27:22You have no idea what you just did.
00:27:27There will be consequences.
00:27:31Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,
00:27:36why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?
00:27:42Security!
00:27:43Security!
00:27:44We need this woman removed immediately.
00:27:45She is harassing me.
00:27:46We're done with your games, Laura.
00:27:47You're just a fraud.
00:27:48Man, plays with me.
00:27:49What?
00:27:50Hold on!
00:27:54Brian Shepard?
00:27:56You think money buys you the right to walk all over people?
00:27:59Well, it doesn't.
00:28:00Yeah.
00:28:01Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?
00:28:03What other plans do you have to destroy this time?
00:28:05Get you out?
00:28:07After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.
00:28:09Don't play dumb.
00:28:11We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:28:13How long has this little affair been going on?
00:28:15You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.
00:28:18Hold on a second.
00:28:20An affair?
00:28:22You think Laura and I?
00:28:24You people are unbelievable.
00:28:28Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP.
00:28:31We have a situation.
00:28:33What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?
00:28:36Is that it?
00:28:37Well, stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:39Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.
00:28:41How can I help you this evening?
00:28:42Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:46It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:49These people don't think that I belong here.
00:28:52Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:55A cleaner?
00:28:56A cleaner?
00:28:57Nonsense.
00:28:58I personally greeted Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:29:01Exactly.
00:29:02Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:10I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:29:13No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.
00:29:18She's been this way since my son divorced her.
00:29:21She's insane.
00:29:22Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.
00:29:26She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.
00:29:30No, it's a lie.
00:29:32Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too.
00:29:37You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.
00:29:43Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?
00:29:47Wait, is that why you're covering for her?
00:29:49Huh?
00:29:50Because of the affair?
00:29:51Because she slept with you?
00:29:52Excuse me.
00:29:53Who are you and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:29:56Enough of this.
00:29:57That's enough.
00:29:58Have you embarrassed yourself enough?
00:30:00This is Lewis Group property.
00:30:02Behave or I'll call security.
00:30:04But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access.
00:30:07She shouldn't be here.
00:30:09Since you're having trouble understanding them,
00:30:12Let me make it clear.
00:30:13This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.
00:30:17It's mine.
00:30:19To come or go as I please.
00:30:25Thank you for sending me in, Ryan.
00:30:27I owe you one.
00:30:29We'll talk about this later.
00:30:32Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harris.
00:30:37Thank you so much.
00:30:38Thank you so much.
00:30:39Thank you so much.
00:30:40Thank you so much.
00:30:41Come in.
00:30:42Excuse me, Vice Presidents.
00:30:45I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.
00:30:54I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today?
00:30:56Maplewood Branch.
00:30:58Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Ms. Smith.
00:31:03Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:31:07Ian Lewis, Mr. Lewis, reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:31:16Oh, expansion plans?
00:31:19Ms. Smith?
00:31:20A decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:31:23And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.
00:31:28But Ian Lewis assured me that...
00:31:31Ms. Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.
00:31:34Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.
00:31:37Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...
00:31:40Ms. Smith, we'd like you to leave.
00:31:42If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:49Hey.
00:31:50Stop there.
00:31:51These elevators are VIP only.
00:31:53Back, please.
00:31:54Of course.
00:31:55My apologies.
00:32:03Laura?
00:32:06Vice Presidents!
00:32:08It's so good to see all of you again.
00:32:10Ms. Lewis, it's been too long.
00:32:14Your return is a lifesaver, Ms. Lewis.
00:32:17The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:32:23The board are begging you to come back, Ms. Lewis.
00:32:27Well, please sit.
00:32:29Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.
00:32:34We've got a meeting planned.
00:32:36A big one.
00:32:37In just a few days.
00:32:39Local powerhouses and smaller players, too.
00:32:43They'll all be there in one spot.
00:32:45Ms. Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.
00:32:49Yes.
00:32:50She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.
00:32:57She said that.
00:32:58Did she?
00:32:59Well, Ms. Smith is a liar.
00:33:01There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:33:04She lied so blatantly.
00:33:05It was, it's unbelievable.
00:33:07Bob, don't worry.
00:33:08I found a much more suitable partner.
00:33:13Shepard Group.
00:33:14Shepard Group?
00:33:15The rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:33:18Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:22So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:33:26Oh, don't worry about Amber.
00:33:30I've got plans for her.
00:33:35Ms. Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the legend from us.
00:33:44Cheers.
00:33:45Cheers.
00:33:55No, I'm not leaving.
00:33:56What are you talking about?
00:33:57No, come on.
00:33:58Wait!
00:33:59Amber Smith!
00:34:00I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch.
00:34:02What are you doing?
00:34:03These are my guests.
00:34:04Yeah, that's right.
00:34:05Tell them who we are.
00:34:06Yes, we were waiting for Ms. Smith.
00:34:09Lewis Group, Maplewood branch?
00:34:10No such thing, ma'am.
00:34:12And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:34:14Oh, of course.
00:34:16Laura!
00:34:17She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.
00:34:20That's how she gets away with everything.
00:34:22You underestimate her, Kathy.
00:34:23She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.
00:34:26No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:34:29Careful with your words.
00:34:30Both of you.
00:34:31Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:35Look who can't even get into a meeting.
00:34:39Whilst I've secured three with all the vice presidents.
00:34:43And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:34:46Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:34:49Used me?
00:34:50Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:54You're so stupid.
00:34:55She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:34:58Don't worry, Brian.
00:35:00You deserve better.
00:35:01And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:35:05Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:35:10New branch manager, huh?
00:35:12Interesting.
00:35:14Laura Lewis?
00:35:15What are you doing here?
00:35:16Get out of here!
00:35:17You claim to be the mystery guest.
00:35:20Don't play games, Laura.
00:35:22I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:35:26Only the top companies get those.
00:35:29Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:35:31Is that so?
00:35:32Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:35:37You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.
00:35:43And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:35:46What?
00:35:48Escort them out.
00:35:49What?
00:35:50Their visit is over.
00:35:51Oh, come on.
00:35:52This way, please.
00:35:53I'm not leaving.
00:35:54Move.
00:35:55We're not leaving again.
00:35:56Move.
00:35:57Oh, no, no, no.
00:35:58We're not going.
00:35:59Now.
00:36:00Okay.
00:36:01This isn't over, Laura.
00:36:02You'll see.
00:36:03Thanks for waiting, Ben.
00:36:04Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:06And thank you for defending me. I really appreciate it.
00:36:20Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:25Yes, but it's going to be tricky.
00:36:30Why?
00:36:31I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:36:35Yes.
00:36:36Laura, there's something you should know.
00:36:42Is this about Ben?
00:36:46Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.
00:36:50He won't even get past security.
00:36:52Laura, it's not Ben.
00:36:56It's someone else.
00:36:59Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:37:03Yes.
00:37:06Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:37:09She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:37:13She's my ex-fiancee.
00:37:16And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:37:21And, let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:37:27And for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.
00:37:33And, you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting?
00:37:40For, out of jealousy?
00:37:46There's a possibility.
00:37:48She's kind of jealous.
00:37:50Well, all the more reason for you to be there.
00:37:55Besides, I'll be there too.
00:37:59It's Cora.
00:38:02Would you consider being a guest at the meeting?
00:38:07What?
00:38:08Are you worried that this Chloe's going to cause problems for me too?
00:38:12Maybe a little.
00:38:14But mostly, I want to show them we're a team.
00:38:18Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard. Thank you.
00:38:22Lauren.
00:38:23I don't care about your best.
00:38:31I just want to be by your side.
00:38:33I think I'm falling for you.
00:38:35Ryan.
00:38:36I appreciate your honesty and right now, I'm just not, I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:38:56It's okay.
00:38:57I just want to be upfront.
00:38:59And if Chloe tries anything, you won't face her alone.
00:39:08There's just one thing I do need.
00:39:14I do need.
00:39:15What is it?
00:39:17A formal dress.
00:39:19Uh, security!
00:39:20She doesn't belong here.
00:39:21This is a private store.
00:39:23Excuse me.
00:39:24We need some assistance.
00:39:25I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:39:29Wow.
00:39:30It's beautiful.
00:39:31It is.
00:39:32I'll try this one off.
00:39:33Uh, don't bother with her.
00:39:34She can't afford anything here.
00:39:35She's just a cleaner.
00:39:36She doesn't deserve to shop here.
00:39:37She has no money.
00:39:38Shhh.
00:39:39Shhh.
00:39:40Shhh.
00:39:41Shhh.
00:39:42Shhh.
00:39:43Shhh.
00:39:44Shhh.
00:39:45Shhh.
00:39:46Shhh.
00:39:47Shhh.
00:39:48Shhh.
00:39:49Shhh.
00:39:50Shhh.
00:39:51Shhh.
00:39:52Shhh.
00:39:53Shhh.
00:39:54Shhh.
00:39:55Shhh.
00:39:56Shhh.
00:39:57Shhh.
00:39:58Shhh.
00:39:59Shhh.
00:40:00Yeah, exactly.
00:40:01I mean, what are you doing here?
00:40:02Can't you just leave me alone?
00:40:03I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared.
00:40:06I'm here for retail therapy.
00:40:08Shhh.
00:40:09Oh, please.
00:40:10This store's for the A-list only.
00:40:12Not some cheapskate like you.
00:40:14Says the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:40:17Hey.
00:40:18Show some respect.
00:40:19Wow.
00:40:20Typical Laura.
00:40:21Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.
00:40:24I would have asked you, but without me, I'm sure they're already broke.
00:40:28Oh, please.
00:40:29Come on.
00:40:30We'll take the dress.
00:40:31Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:40:34Uh, what do you mean you don't sell it?
00:40:36I want it.
00:40:37Name your price.
00:40:38It's not about the price, ma'am.
00:40:40This one was custom made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress.
00:40:44The entire brand belongs to her.
00:40:46This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.
00:40:50It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:40:52What are you talking about?
00:40:54Of course it would suit her.
00:40:55It'd fit her just fine.
00:40:56And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:41:00Well, buying the whole store.
00:41:02Allow me to purchase this dress.
00:41:08Oh, please.
00:41:09Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?
00:41:11We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:41:13Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.
00:41:16You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:41:19Could you?
00:41:20Please tell me more about this dress.
00:41:22Of course.
00:41:23Uh, it was custom made for Laura Lewis, heiress to the Lewis Group Fortune.
00:41:28And stitched in Italy, naturally.
00:41:31And apparently there are many more like it this year.
00:41:34High-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.
00:41:39Laura, do you like this dress?
00:41:42Of course.
00:41:43Of course.
00:41:44It's custom made for me.
00:41:45I'm just here to take what's already mine.
00:41:48Oh, you can't be serious.
00:41:50There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.
00:41:53Fine, fine.
00:41:54If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?
00:41:57It would look incredible on me.
00:41:59Miss, this dress is very delicate.
00:42:02If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:42:07Are you calling me fat?
00:42:08Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand?
00:42:13How's that sound?
00:42:14Sir, are you serious?
00:42:15You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:42:19This brand is worth at least $50 million.
00:42:22And to buy it for a waitress?
00:42:25Are you out of your mind?
00:42:27Yes.
00:42:28You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:42:31Just one second.
00:42:35Yes, this is Brian Shepherd, CEO of Shepherd Group.
00:42:38I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:42:41I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.
00:42:47What?
00:42:50Sorry, sir.
00:42:51That brand is not for sale.
00:42:54You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.
00:43:00Mr. Yates.
00:43:01Yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:43:04I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepherd Group.
00:43:10Oh, come on.
00:43:11Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:43:14Exactly.
00:43:15Come on, this is pathetic.
00:43:16You really think this is going to work?
00:43:18It's sad.
00:43:19Excellent.
00:43:21Thank you, Mr. Yates.
00:43:22That's all.
00:43:29Yes?
00:43:34What?
00:43:35Are you willing to sell me the brand?
00:43:37Awesome.
00:43:39Hello?
00:43:40Yes?
00:43:41Wow.
00:43:42Yes, of course.
00:43:43Absolutely.
00:43:45Hello?
00:43:46Yes?
00:43:47Wow.
00:43:48Yes, of course.
00:43:50Absolutely.
00:43:51Mm-hmm.
00:43:53Uh, this store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepherd.
00:43:58Oh.
00:43:59The Shepherd Group is the new owner.
00:44:01How may I be upstairs today, sir?
00:44:03Well, Lauren, I don't know much about pressure, so I would like to give this brand to you.
00:44:10You can't be serious.
00:44:11You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:44:14Don't listen to her, Brian.
00:44:16You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.
00:44:20You're not welcome here.
00:44:21I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:28I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:30Of course.
00:44:33Oh, come on.
00:44:34Sir?
00:44:35Ma'am?
00:44:36You're afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:44:37Well, we're not leaving.
00:44:38Okay?
00:44:39Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:40This isn't over, Laura!
00:44:42Could I try the dress on now?
00:44:43Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:44:45You just follow me.
00:44:52Wow.
00:44:54Miss Lewis.
00:44:55This dress really was made for you.
00:45:00Laura, you look breathtaking in this dress.
00:45:04Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:45:11Laura.
00:45:12Because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.
00:45:17And that includes this dress.
00:45:22Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:45:26I...
00:45:27I need a moment.
00:45:29Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:45:35Does that mean you could be a yes?
00:45:38Maybe.
00:45:39Maybe.
00:45:45Hi.
00:45:54Hi.
00:45:56What?
00:45:57Well, well, well.
00:45:58Well, well, well.
00:46:00Look who decided to join the party.
00:46:02Playing dress up again, Laura?
00:46:04One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:46:07And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:46:10You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?
00:46:13For this.
00:46:14This gold digger.
00:46:15You know, Ben, I really cared about you.
00:46:18Even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:46:22I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:46:25Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:46:31Enough!
00:46:32I've had enough of this drama.
00:46:34Yeah, me too.
00:46:35Try that again, and you'll regret it.
00:46:38Now get the hell out of my face.
00:46:40Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:46:43Yeah.
00:46:46I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:46:49What?
00:46:50That's impossible.
00:46:51I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:46:56Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group, your name is on the list.
00:47:01Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.
00:47:05You don't have an invitation.
00:47:06You're just here because of Brian.
00:47:10Let me see this. This doesn't even look real.
00:47:14It's different from mine.
00:47:15Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:20This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:47:25Please, right this way.
00:47:27We can continue this discussion later.
00:47:29If you manage to get in.
00:47:34Sir, Madam, we recommend you leave.
00:47:38There you are!
00:47:41How dare you steal my fiancé!
00:47:46There you are!
00:47:47How dare you steal my fiancé!
00:47:50Looks like another relationship fights the dust, Laura.
00:47:53Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours.
00:47:56Get away from him!
00:47:58He's engaged to me!
00:47:59Hey, hey, hey.
00:48:00Hold your horses, Clay.
00:48:01That ended a long time ago.
00:48:02Engaged to you.
00:48:04Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:48:08Your relationship's history.
00:48:11That was just a little tiff.
00:48:13You really think that could tear us apart?
00:48:16Don't you know who I am?
00:48:18Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:48:20Oh, honey.
00:48:21She don't recognize royalty, let alone a duke.
00:48:24She's just a maid, remember?
00:48:26I don't have time for all this drama.
00:48:29Brian?
00:48:31Let's head inside.
00:48:33Brian!
00:48:35How could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:48:38Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:48:41There's nothing left to say, Gloria.
00:48:44Don't make this a scene.
00:48:46Shall we?
00:48:52You okay, Miss Duke?
00:48:55And you are?
00:48:56Amber Smith.
00:48:58I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:49:01What branch? I've never heard of it.
00:49:03What do you want from me?
00:49:04That Laura!
00:49:06She tore up my invitation.
00:49:07Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:08What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:49:13Please don't waste my time.
00:49:38If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:49:49The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:49:53Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.
00:49:57Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:49:59Good.
00:50:01I need your help with something.
00:50:03What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.
00:50:05It's Brian.
00:50:07Who's that woman? I thought you were...
00:50:10She's a con woman.
00:50:12She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:15What?
00:50:17Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:21She's pretending to be a Lewis to get close to him.
00:50:24What are you planning?
00:50:26What are you planning?
00:50:28I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:50:33Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:37I had no idea she would be so...
00:50:42intense.
00:50:44What do you mean?
00:50:46You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:50:48I mean, you guys are just...
00:50:51Power couple.
00:50:53I see what you're doing.
00:50:56Power couple, you say?
00:50:58More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:51:02Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:51:05Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:51:09This is signed by all three VPs of Lewis Group.
00:51:11Where did you get this?
00:51:14Who did you have to sleep with?
00:51:16That's enough.
00:51:18This is getting us nowhere.
00:51:21Laura is my guest.
00:51:23And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:51:28Got it?
00:51:30Mr. Shepard, what do you see in that woman?
00:51:34Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:51:36She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.
00:51:41What more could you ask for?
00:51:43That's a good question.
00:51:45Not much, actually.
00:51:47Honesty.
00:51:49That's what I want.
00:51:51And love.
00:51:53Things that clearly, Chloe has no idea.
00:51:56I said I was sorry.
00:51:58What more do you want?
00:52:00I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:52:02She's like a daughter to me.
00:52:04I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:52:11One more chance, Brian.
00:52:13Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:52:16Do it, Mr. Shepard.
00:52:18Propose right here, right now.
00:52:21Brian?
00:52:25Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:52:29By forcing a ring on someone?
00:52:31Do it, or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:52:41Don't you dare.
00:52:43You're humiliating yourself.
00:52:46How dare you?
00:52:48Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:52:50Yes.
00:52:52I like her.
00:52:53But I can't imagine someone like her, interested in me.
00:53:01The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today, without her.
00:53:06Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:07Exactly.
00:53:08This woman is trouble.
00:53:10She doesn't belong here.
00:53:12Throw her out!
00:53:14You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?
00:53:18Interesting turn of events.
00:53:21Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:53:25Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress Laura Lewis?
00:53:31One more chance, Brian.
00:53:32You're right, Chloe.
00:53:34Ridiculous.
00:53:36Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:53:38I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow, did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe.
00:53:52You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that!
00:53:55That's enough.
00:53:56You don't get to talk here!
00:53:58You got mad, Shepard!
00:53:59You dare to go against Miss Duke!
00:54:01And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:54:03Anyone who insults Laura.
00:54:06Leave us with a black eye.
00:54:08It's willing to defend the Duke for her.
00:54:10What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:12I want to be careful, Brian.
00:54:14Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:54:17Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:54:21The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not Shepard Group.
00:54:31Lewis Group RS?
00:54:33You?
00:54:35Don't make me laugh.
00:54:37Security, remove these two impostors from the premises.
00:54:41Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:54:42Give Brian another chance.
00:54:44Choose, Brian.
00:54:45Me and the future you deserve.
00:54:48Or this...
00:54:49Fraud.
00:54:52Chloe.
00:54:54I have everything I ever wanted.
00:54:56Right here.
00:54:58In a wooden trade of all the powers that took so on, Maplewood.
00:55:02Fine.
00:55:08Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:10What?
00:55:12You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:15Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:17The Duke family.
00:55:18They can't be serious.
00:55:19Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:21Brian.
00:55:23You don't have to do this for me.
00:55:25Laura.
00:55:27Now we'll never let anyone bully you.
00:55:30Let alone them.
00:55:32Brian.
00:55:33For...
00:55:35For believing in me.
00:55:37For...
00:55:38Protecting me.
00:55:40Now it's my turn.
00:55:42To protect you.
00:55:49Listen carefully.
00:55:50I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.
00:55:54At all costs.
00:55:56Don't let it drop.
00:55:58Even one cent.
00:56:00Do you understand?
00:56:02Wow.
00:56:04Award winning performance, Laura.
00:56:06But you can't possibly control the stock market.
00:56:08Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:13If...
00:56:15The Shepard stock holds...
00:56:18For the next five minutes...
00:56:22You owe me a public apology.
00:56:25Deal.
00:56:35Well.
00:56:37Looks like your five minutes is up.
00:56:41Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
00:56:47What the?
00:56:49The Shepard Group stock prices?
00:56:51It's going up!
00:56:53This can't be happening.
00:56:54It must be a coincidence.
00:57:01Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
00:57:04There was a huge investment.
00:57:06We couldn't compete.
00:57:07Shepard stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:11How did you do this?
00:57:13Like I said, Chloe.
00:57:16I'm...
00:57:17Laura Lewis.
00:57:19No, you're not.
00:57:20You're just some cleaner.
00:57:21You don't have access to billions.
00:57:22No.
00:57:23I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:25No.
00:57:26I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:32No.
00:57:34I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:36There is no way I'm apologizing to you.
00:57:37If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:57:42Chloe?
00:57:44The truth is, everyone here has seen you be a bully.
00:57:50And a coward.
00:57:51A coward.
00:57:53And now, a sore loser.
00:57:56This is so humiliating for her.
00:57:59How did she manage that?
00:58:01Maybe she really is a Lewis.
00:58:04Apologize to Miss Lewis.
00:58:06Shut up.
00:58:08Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.
00:58:09Don't forget, the Duke found me on half of Maplewood.
00:58:14They're no wizards.
00:58:16Let's get out of here.
00:58:18Hold on.
00:58:20This is where I belong.
00:58:23And that is my chair.
00:58:27You can't go there.
00:58:28That is the VIP section.
00:58:30Only those invited by the Lewis Group Vice Presidents get to sit there.
00:58:34Like I said, Chloe, that's my seat.
00:58:44Had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
00:58:47Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepard, wasn't it?
00:58:56Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
00:58:58Is this how you charm all your men?
00:59:00Shall we?
00:59:02My pleasure.
00:59:04What are you doing?
00:59:06Let go.
00:59:07It doesn't matter what happens.
00:59:09I choose to stay by Laura's side.
00:59:12Let's go.
00:59:14Don't be absurd.
00:59:15That seat is reserved for a very important guest.
00:59:19Someone so esteemed, even the Vice Presidents have to bow low.
00:59:23And how exactly, Mr. Jones? Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
00:59:35Wait, that's Peter Young, Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group.
00:59:38Lewis Group.
00:59:39Oh, it's Peter Young. He decides which investments are they?
00:59:44Mr. Young, it's Chloe Duke, Head of Duke Industries.
00:59:48So glad you could join us.
00:59:49Why is everyone standing around?
00:59:51It's her.
00:59:52She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat.
00:59:55It's embarrassing.
00:59:56That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
01:00:00Specifically the family heir.
01:00:02Please get off the stage.
01:00:04Oh, yes.
01:00:06Mr. Young, was it?
01:00:08I think I remember you.
01:00:09You manage my family's investments.
01:00:13And don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:00:17Please get off the stage.
01:00:18That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.
01:00:21I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:00:28I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:00:33This is ridiculous.
01:00:34You, the Lewis heir, don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:00:43You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:00:46Exactly.
01:00:48We ran a background check on her and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.
01:00:53Before that, I could see her in my family's supermarket.
01:00:57See, Brian?
01:00:58This is who you've been chasing after.
01:01:00A liar and a cheat.
01:01:01Security, get this imposter out of here.
01:01:05And everyone here is a witness.
01:01:07Why would any of you trust Laura?
01:01:10If any of you dares to harm her, you have to go through me first.
01:01:16Brian, she's just a nobody.
01:01:19She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.
01:01:22They didn't even want her.
01:01:24What exactly do you see in her?
01:01:26Escort this imposter out of here.
01:01:28Now.
01:01:29I'm Peter.
01:01:31Peter.
01:01:32Do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:01:34Mr. Yates.
01:01:35I'm so glad you could join us.
01:01:36Miss Lewis.
01:01:37Sorry about the delay.
01:01:38And for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:01:39It's no trouble, Mr. Yates.
01:01:42Luckily I haven't been alone.
01:01:43I've had the great company of my very loyal friend.
01:01:44Wait a minute.
01:01:45She's Miss Lewis.
01:01:46Is this a joke?
01:01:47Mr. Young, you're new to the Lewis Group.
01:01:48So I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.
01:01:49But you listen to lies without checking the facts.
01:01:52And almost called the police.
01:01:53Tell me.
01:01:54Miss Lewis.
01:01:55Mr. Young.
01:01:56Mr. Young.
01:01:57Who put you up to this?
01:01:58Is it my uncle, Ian Lewis?
01:01:59Mr. Young.
01:02:00Is it my uncle, Ian Lewis?
01:02:01Oh no.
01:02:02I don't know.
01:02:03No.
01:02:04No.
01:02:05It's my uncle.
01:02:06So I don't know.
01:02:07No.
01:02:08Oh, no.
01:02:09No.
01:02:10Yeah.
01:02:11No.
01:02:12No.
01:02:13No.
01:02:14No.
01:02:15No.
01:02:16No.
01:02:17No.
01:02:18No.
01:02:19No.
01:02:20No.
01:02:21No.
01:02:22No.
01:02:23No.
01:02:24No.
01:02:25No.
01:02:26No.
01:02:27No.
01:02:28I knew it.
01:02:35Consider this your termination.
01:02:38I get it now.
01:02:40This is all an act, right?
01:02:42Chloe, what are you doing?
01:02:43We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:02:45Work with them?
01:02:46Are you blind?
01:02:47This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:02:50That's enough, young lady.
01:02:52You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis group.
01:02:55Oh, Chloe, I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:03:00I think you need some professional help.
01:03:04Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:03:07Chloe, that's enough.
01:03:09It's ridiculous.
01:03:09If you were really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.
01:03:13So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:03:14Show us the ring!
01:03:19Why don't you show that to everyone?
01:03:21Show us the ring!
01:03:22Show us the ring!
01:03:23Show us the ring!
01:03:24Who are you to make demands of me?
01:03:27I don't answer to anyone but myself.
01:03:31I don't need any of your validation.
01:03:37There's a ring!
01:03:38Oh, wow.
01:03:42Vice Presidents!
01:03:44I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.
01:03:46This woman is an imposter!
01:03:48Miss Lewis, we apologise for the delay.
01:03:51How could you just let that con woman sit there?
01:03:54Get her out of here!
01:03:55This seat was always for Ms. Lewis.
01:03:59She's the special guest we've been waiting for.
01:04:02The investment queen.
01:04:04The real heir to Lewis Group.
01:04:07Laura Lewis!
01:04:08She has a divorced host wife.
01:04:10A janitor.
01:04:11How can she?
01:04:12She can't be.
01:04:13It's a lie.
01:04:13I'm telling you.
01:04:14It's a lie.
01:04:15Do you think we'd lie?
01:04:17We run Lewis Group.
01:04:20Oh, Chloe.
01:04:21You assaulted me earlier.
01:04:23And you came to this meeting to what?
01:04:27Sabotage it.
01:04:29You'll be hearing from our legal team.
01:04:34Is this true, Mr. Duke?
01:04:36Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:04:40Yes.
01:04:41It's all true.
01:04:42She fooled us all.
01:04:43The Duke tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewoods and control everything themselves.
01:04:49I had no idea.
01:04:51But I'm on your side.
01:04:52I can give you everything you need.
01:04:55All the resources in Maplewoods.
01:04:57Ms. Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this?
01:05:02An eye for an eye.
01:05:06Since Ms. Duke here loves ruining things, I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:05:18I want them bankrupt in ten minutes.
01:05:20You're bluffing.
01:05:23You're nobody.
01:05:24You'll always be a nobody.
01:05:25And you can't touch me.
01:05:27Then consider this a test, Chloe.
01:05:31I didn't need my family's support with Shepard.
01:05:34And I certainly don't need it now.
01:05:36Chloe, you dug your own grave.
01:05:39You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family with just the Shepard group?
01:05:44Please.
01:05:46Hmm.
01:05:47We'll see.
01:05:53Dad?
01:05:55Slow down.
01:05:56What are you talking about?
01:05:59No.
01:06:01It's impossible.
01:06:03Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:05Years of hard work.
01:06:06Just draw it in minutes.
01:06:07What did you do?
01:06:14Well, Chloe, isn't this what you wanted?
01:06:18To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:06:21This is impossible.
01:06:23It's impossible.
01:06:25Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:28The news is everywhere.
01:06:30Shepard's launched a full-scale sob on the stock market.
01:06:33They're hammering our shares.
01:06:35Are you sure it's just Shepard?
01:06:37Yes!
01:06:38Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato.
01:06:42We could go bankrupt.
01:06:44You've ruined everything.
01:06:45Don't worry, Mr. Duke.
01:06:47When your company does go bankrupt, I'll buy it.
01:06:51At a fire sale price.
01:06:52Your employees won't even be affected.
01:06:54Brilliant.
01:06:55A masterstroke, Ms. Lewis.
01:06:58Now, this is my event.
01:07:02Please leave.
01:07:04Brian, I did this for us.
01:07:06Everything I did, I did for us, Brian.
01:07:11Chloe, you need help.
01:07:14These feelings you have for me, it's not love.
01:07:18It's obsession.
01:07:20Enough.
01:07:22If you don't want to ruin everything completely, you'll come with me right now.
01:07:27Right now.
01:07:29This isn't over!
01:07:40Get out of me!
01:07:42What is going on here?
01:07:48Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:07:50Shepard Group.
01:07:51They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group for Maplewood.
01:07:55They're handling all future construction projects.
01:07:58That can't be.
01:07:59What about us?
01:08:00That was our project.
01:08:02Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.
01:08:04Harrison Group is practically out.
01:08:06We have no chance.
01:08:07We can't give up that easily.
01:08:09Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager.
01:08:13In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.
01:08:17You're right.
01:08:18If we can just meet with a new heir, we can bypass the Shepards and meet directly with
01:08:22the Lewis Group.
01:08:23We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.
01:08:28That's right.
01:08:28Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.
01:08:38I'm sure I've mentioned him.
01:08:40Mr. Shepard, it's finally a pleasure to meet you.
01:08:43We've looked into your company's financial review.
01:08:47Very impressive.
01:08:49Thank you, bud.
01:08:51A large part of that success is next to Ms. Lewis.
01:08:53No.
01:08:54She practically saved me from a disaster three times over now.
01:08:59Brian, you can just call me Laura.
01:09:02Ms. Lewis' recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.
01:09:06Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:09:09Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is gone.
01:09:13Seize it.
01:09:15A woman like Laura is not easy to find.
01:09:18Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.
01:09:24Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:09:31Laura?
01:09:32Hardly.
01:09:33I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.
01:09:40So you're Laura's uncle?
01:09:42In the flesh.
01:09:44So Laura really is your niece?
01:09:46Yes, little Laura.
01:09:49She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.
01:09:53Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.
01:09:56I think he was a Harrison.
01:09:58Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side.
01:10:01Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?
01:10:05And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?
01:10:08If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:10:12Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Ms. Duke.
01:10:15We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:10:17What if I, what if I fail?
01:10:21My family is already ruined.
01:10:23Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say.
01:10:27But, if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family will get back everything you've lost.
01:10:34Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side.
01:10:37How can I possibly get the ring?
01:10:38There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly.
01:10:48Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:10:50Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.
01:10:57Laura.
01:10:58It's so good to see you.
01:10:59And you, it's been too long.
01:11:02Two, three years perhaps.
01:11:05How have you been?
01:11:05I've been well, Uncle Ian.
01:11:08Thank you for asking.
01:11:10I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.
01:11:14Yes.
01:11:14Kind of been easy.
01:11:15Indeed, somebody had to.
01:11:17I mean, after you left me with everything to do, without a safe pair of hands, I hate to think it would have happened to the company.
01:11:24Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard, you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.
01:11:33Yes, minor mistakes.
01:11:35Don't worry, Uncle Ian.
01:11:38I won't hold it against you.
01:11:39Oh, good.
01:11:41Well, cheers to you coming back here.
01:11:45And the Lewis Group.
01:11:48Oh, I'm so sorry, Laura.
01:11:51How clumsy of me.
01:11:53No, no worries, Uncle Ian.
01:11:55I, I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.
01:12:00Of course.
01:12:01Right away, just down to the left.
01:12:09Use it wisely.
01:12:11Oh, I will.
01:12:12Hey, Laura.
01:12:28How's that?
01:12:29Hello, Brian.
01:12:30Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:12:32Chloe, how in the hell did you get Laura's phone?
01:12:37Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:12:40Listen, Chloe.
01:12:42Don't hurt her.
01:12:43Please.
01:12:45I'll do anything.
01:12:46Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs.
01:12:51Now.
01:12:53Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.
01:12:58Well, you certainly do have your ways.
01:13:01Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up.
01:13:06I am sorry.
01:13:07How clumsy.
01:13:08And don't forget your phone.
01:13:09I retrieved it for you.
01:13:11Thank you, Uncle Ian.
01:13:12Lovely to see you again.
01:13:14Yeah.
01:13:14I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.
01:13:18At the banquet.
01:13:21I'll see you then.
01:13:22Will do.
01:13:22Looking forward to it.
01:13:26Laura!
01:13:27Laura!
01:13:28Where are you?
01:13:30Laura!
01:13:31Laura!
01:13:32Where are you?
01:13:34Laura!
01:13:36Laura, where are you?
01:13:37Laura!
01:13:42Gotcha.
01:13:45You weren't expecting that, were you?
01:13:58Finally.
01:13:58Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.
01:14:01What the?
01:14:03Laura, where are you?
01:14:03Laura?
01:14:04Laura?
01:14:05Go shut your mouth.
01:14:07Chloe.
01:14:08What have you done?
01:14:10You out of your mind?
01:14:11Out of my mind?
01:14:13You were the one that left me for that tramp and destroyed my life!
01:14:16That's not true.
01:14:17You were the one who messed up!
01:14:19Brian!
01:14:20Brian!
01:14:20Laura!
01:14:20Laura!
01:14:23Stay where you are.
01:14:24You better come alone.
01:14:27Shot this knife, Chloe.
01:14:29This is insane!
01:14:31Insane?
01:14:32I did this for us, Brian!
01:14:34You were meant to be together.
01:14:37Us?
01:14:38You've gone crazy!
01:14:40Then you're out of here.
01:14:41Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious event.
01:14:45They're going to lock you up for years!
01:14:47You think I care about jail time?
01:14:50All I care about is tearing you two apart.
01:14:53You don't deserve him.
01:14:55What have you done?
01:14:57You've destroyed my life!
01:14:59My company, everything!
01:15:02Now I'm going to destroy your life.
01:15:05Forgive me.
01:15:06Your family ring now.
01:15:08Give it to me!
01:15:08This is about the ring.
01:15:11Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:15:15You know, Chloe, trying to kill me, that's foolish.
01:15:21Because who do you think is going to win?
01:15:24You?
01:15:25That little man.
01:15:26Or me?
01:15:30Something a little bit more persuasive.
01:15:31I'm sorry.
01:15:40Freeze!
01:15:41Don't move, anyone.
01:15:45Don't move.
01:15:46You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.
01:15:49Miss Lewis.
01:15:51Having fun without me.
01:15:53I'm hurt.
01:15:54Brian.
01:15:56Are you hurt?
01:15:57No, I'm okay.
01:15:58Tell me, Chloe.
01:16:04Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:16:07Why should I tell you?
01:16:08You're going to kill me anyway.
01:16:11Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:16:13But if you don't talk,
01:16:16your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:16:20Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:24So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:16:25Talk, or face the consequences.
01:16:29Fine.
01:16:30It was Ian Lewis.
01:16:32He said he'd help Duke Industries
01:16:34if I kept you away from the bank room today.
01:16:38Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:16:40I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:45Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:16:47Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:16:49Go.
01:16:55This is crazy.
01:17:02Are we really sure we can do this?
01:17:03All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:17:05Absolutely.
01:17:07The Lewis Group is under new leadership.
01:17:09We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:11Exactly.
01:17:12We just need to make sure we make a good impression
01:17:14on the new heir.
01:17:16There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:17He can introduce us.
01:17:18Let's go.
01:17:19Yeah.
01:17:22Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:17:23I'm Amber Smith.
01:17:24We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:26This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.
01:17:28How do you do?
01:17:29We're the company that...
01:17:30Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:32Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:17:35Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:17:42Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:17:43Could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:17:46The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:17:51Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:17:55A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:17:58Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group,
01:18:02Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:04Look, everybody, attention.
01:18:06Attention, please.
01:18:06There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:18:14I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago
01:18:17that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:18:21And tragically, she hasn't made it.
01:18:23She has not survived.
01:18:28What?
01:18:29Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:31It doesn't matter now.
01:18:33She's gone.
01:18:34Mr. Lewis, is this new...
01:18:35It's a tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:18:38But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.
01:18:44Hold on.
01:18:45Who said that I'm dead?
01:18:49Laura.
01:18:54I don't understand.
01:18:56What's happening?
01:18:58Laura?
01:18:59But weren't you...
01:19:00My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:19:03There seems to be some...
01:19:05Misunderstanding.
01:19:07Laura, what are you doing here?
01:19:09You've got to stop this.
01:19:10If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:19:12I'll save this once.
01:19:14Back off, then.
01:19:15Let's go.
01:19:20Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:19:22As I'm sure you know, tonight, I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:19:34Perhaps you could make some room for me, Uncle Ian.
01:19:39Impossible.
01:19:40How are you still alive?
01:19:41Well, clearly I am alive and well, so why don't we get this started?
01:19:46No.
01:19:47You're not the rightful heir.
01:19:49You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:19:54Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument that you have that I got married too quickly?
01:19:59Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger and left me to work tirelessly, keeping the company together.
01:20:07Uncle Ian, retire.
01:20:09Enjoy your retirement.
01:20:12Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:20:14No.
01:20:15There can only be one heir, and that's me.
01:20:19And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:20:23You think a ring makes an heir?
01:20:26You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:20:30Give that back to me.
01:20:32This?
01:20:33Yes.
01:20:34You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:20:37Give it back.
01:20:39True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you, not some stupid ring.
01:20:49Oh, my ring.
01:20:50Look at God, where is it?
01:20:54My ring.
01:20:55Oh.
01:20:55Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.
01:20:59Now, let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.
01:21:05It's all lies.
01:21:15It's all lies.
01:21:16It's all lies.
01:21:17It's all lies.
01:21:18It's all lies.
01:21:19It's all lies.
01:21:20It's all lies.
01:21:21Fakery.
01:21:22It's fake news.
01:21:23The proof is clear.
01:21:32Get him out of here.
01:21:32Now.
01:21:33I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:21:41Turns out, reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:21:47Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr. Shepherd by my side.
01:21:54And he has been a great support.
01:21:58Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:22:03I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:22:13Shepherd Group.
01:22:14What?
01:22:15Laura, hold on.
01:22:16This was never my idea.
01:22:18This was all Kathy and Amber's fault.
01:22:20I don't want a divorce.
01:22:21What?
01:22:22Then what are you saying?
01:22:23You came to me first.
01:22:24Classic Ben.
01:22:25Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.
01:22:30Just don't shut Harrison Group out.
01:22:33Just give me another chance.
01:22:35How could I shut you out?
01:22:37I'm just a cleaner.
01:22:38Remember?
01:22:39I'm just a useless housewife.
01:22:41I don't have that power.
01:22:45What are you talking about?
01:22:46What?
01:22:47No, come on.
01:22:48Sorry.
01:22:49No, please.
01:22:50No.
01:22:51Um, Mr. Shepherd?
01:22:52Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:22:53I was wondering if.
01:22:56Maybe you wanted to grab dinner.
01:22:59Sometime.
01:23:00On me.
01:23:01Miss Lewis, I would love to.
