Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Ryan.
00:00:07Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:13What the hell is going on here?
00:00:16Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:19Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do?
00:00:23Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:28They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:32Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:39Well, looks like Shepard Guild might be bankrupt by lunchtime.
00:00:48Hey, this is a privacy case.
00:00:50Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:00:53Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.
00:01:00But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
00:01:08Do I know you?
00:01:12What are you doing?
00:01:14You can't do this. You're just a cleaner. Don't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:20This is incredible!
00:01:23What's going on?
00:01:24The shortening attempt. It's failing. The price is holding.
00:01:29Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:36We met before.
00:01:37They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:40Hold on.
00:01:41Tell me, how could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:45If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:54Jason, get me her file now.
00:02:01Mr. Yates!
00:02:13What, only two bodyguards this time?
00:02:16You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:18No, ma'am. I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:02:22Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:28Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:32Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret, and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:38Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:43Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:48Because what I want is a simple life, with Ben.
00:02:53Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house, for my sake.
00:03:08Divorce papers, sign it.
00:03:13Ma'am, why?
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.
00:03:28And 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.
00:03:40You, a cleaning woman, handing out million dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.
00:03:48I did! It was my present to Ben for his birthday!
00:03:54I was the one who got Ryan Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:58What are you doing here?
00:03:59Clearly, 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.
00:04:09A 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?
00:04:22What'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.
00:04:34You just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:36Grown apart?
00:04:38No.
00:04:39No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:44I won't sign anything.
00:04:47Huh.
00:04:49Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:51Ben.
00:04:53Alright.
00:04:54Here.
00:04:55$100,000.
00:04:56Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:59$100,000.
00:05:01I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:06Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:09Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:11You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:14This is our act of charity, Jordan.
00:05:16Here.
00:05:17A million dollars.
00:05:18Take this.
00:05:20You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:22Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:25I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.
00:05:31Since none of you respect me.
00:05:35A cleaning lady threatening us?
00:05:38I'm so scared.
00:05:40Just leave.
00:05:41You already make this house stink.
00:05:50Thank God she's gone.
00:05:51Go to a written store.
00:05:55Sir?
00:05:57Laura Lewis's information.
00:06:02She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:06:04No wonder why she wanted to partner with them.
00:06:06Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:10Divorced her?
00:06:12Wait a minute.
00:06:14Don't you remember?
00:06:16She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:20Yeah.
00:06:21She saved our hiding then.
00:06:23Remember?
00:06:25Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:30I don't know.
00:06:32Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:06:36Hey!
00:06:37What are you doing?
00:06:38Let go of me!
00:06:39You attacked Amber!
00:06:40Apologize this instant!
00:06:41Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:42We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:06:43You refused it.
00:06:44And now you're stealing!
00:06:45She couldn't afford it.
00:06:46You're a thief!
00:06:47That's mine!
00:06:48Give it back!
00:06:49That's mine!
00:06:50Give it back!
00:06:51Hey!
00:06:52Wait!
00:06:53Wait!
00:06:54Shut up!
00:06:55Wait!
00:06:56Wait!
00:06:57Wait!
00:06:58You're a thief!
00:07:01It's mine! Give it back!
00:07:03Listen up!
00:07:05Laura?
00:07:07I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:10It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:16You see, it's...
00:07:18Who are you, Boris New Squeeze?
00:07:20Excuse me, do you know who I am?
00:07:22Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:07:26Shame on you!
00:07:27Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:29For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:07:32I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:34Oh, please.
00:07:35A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be called dead with a cleaner.
00:07:38You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:41That's really interesting, considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:47That's ridiculous!
00:07:48He doesn't look like that!
00:07:50My ring!
00:07:51Jason, give it back to me serious.
00:07:53Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:55Yeah.
00:07:56Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:07:59Now.
00:08:00Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:08:01Who the heck is this matter?
00:08:03Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:05It's all right, ma'am.
00:08:06This is none of your business.
00:08:08All brown dead bodies!
00:08:09You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on.
00:08:12We are the Harrisons.
00:08:14You can't just waltz in here and take her!
00:08:16Harrison, compared to the Shepard group, you're nobody.
00:08:19Now go back.
00:08:20What?
00:08:21Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:08:23That's a lie!
00:08:24Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura!
00:08:26You come back here and explain yourself!
00:08:28Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!
00:08:32Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:37Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:42I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:45After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:49No!
00:08:50Um...
00:08:51No, the event will proceed.
00:08:54Besides, I'll be there.
00:08:59There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:02Who are you, truly?
00:09:04You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.
00:09:08Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:11Mr. Gates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're going
00:09:21to have a meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today.
00:09:26Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:31Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:37Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:09:39I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:41Ben Harrison, you're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:50After this ceremony, the Harrison family will kindly be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:00Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:03Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:05Security?
00:10:06Get that woman out of here.
00:10:08We don't need cleaners at this event.
00:10:10Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:12This is a business event, after all.
00:10:15Business?
00:10:16You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:10:18A fancy dress doesn't make you have society, honey.
00:10:21Just get out.
00:10:22Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:25You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:28Well, Ben, do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:32Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:35Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:36You don't belong here.
00:10:38Just get out!
00:10:40Oh.
00:10:41That's what you get.
00:10:46This contract is mine.
00:10:55To give or take away as I see it.
00:10:58Don't be ridiculous.
00:10:59This is insane.
00:11:00Who do you think you are?
00:11:01Yeah, put that down.
00:11:02You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:04Security?
00:11:05She's lost a mind.
00:11:07This is a disaster.
00:11:09Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly
00:11:15don't deserve it.
00:11:16Yes.
00:11:17Yes.
00:11:22Yes.
00:11:36Laura?
00:11:37I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:11:41It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:11:47You see, it's...
00:11:48Who are you, Boris New Squeeze?
00:11:51Excuse me.
00:11:52Do you know who I am?
00:11:53Is this true?
00:11:54You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:11:57Shame on you!

00:11:59For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:12:03I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:12:05Oh, please.
00:12:06A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:12:09You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:12:12That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract
00:12:17for Ben.
00:12:18That's ridiculous.
00:12:19He doesn't look like that.
00:12:21My ring.
00:12:22Jason, pivot back to Miss Lewis.
00:12:24Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:12:28Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:12:30Now.
00:12:31Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:12:32Who the heck is this man or have you been sneaking around?
00:12:36It's all right, ma'am.
00:12:37This is none of your business.
00:12:39I'll grab dead bodies.
00:12:40You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on.
00:12:44We are the Harrisons.
00:12:45You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:12:47Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:12:50Now go back.
00:12:51What?
00:12:52Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:12:54That's a lie.

00:14:12Ben Harrison.
00:14:13You're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:14:21After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:14:31Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:14:35Laura, what are you doing here?

00:15:44but since you clearly don't deserve it...

00:19:49liar's story than the truth Kathy consider this my resignation from the Harrison's from everything

00:20:12toilets nobody cares about you cleaning toilets or not at least I have my self-respect I don't need
00:20:21a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding I
00:20:30think all jobs are important right mom but I don't think that a a janitor should have some sort of
00:20:38influence over a deal as big as this a janitor well why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed
00:20:47that collaboration with Shepard you did claim to have been the one that secured the deal weren't you
00:20:54Miss Smith Mr. Shepard it's all a lie this woman Laura she's just a gold digger trying to trick you
00:21:02I but well a lie you're saying Miss Smith I believe you mentioned securing this contract for
00:21:09Harrison room but I don't recognize you is this true Miss Smith Miss Lewis has helped me on several
00:21:18occasions this contract was my way of showing my appreciation but the contract I mean Laura tore it
00:21:26up so can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway reprinted Mr. Harrison
00:21:33perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis involvement I wouldn't even consider
00:21:40parking with your company today I want to make it clear Shepard group has no plans to partner with
00:21:51Harrison group in the future miss Smith you lied to us you destroyed everything what no it's a
00:22:01misunderstanding I can explain Lewis Lewis family group this can't be believe what you want Ben
00:22:09Lewis group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week three of our vice presidents
00:22:17will be here in Maplewood and I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am
00:22:25everyone listen to me Shepard group will not be partnering with Harrison a man who can keep his
00:22:34vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract the charade is over Mr. Harrison
00:22:41everyone here deserves to see the truth Miss Lewis shall we take this conversation elsewhere
00:22:50help mom someone get a doctor mom it seems your night has taken quite the turn Mr. Shepard
00:23:06indeed perhaps it's best to leave them to it
00:23:15what what now mom this is not all on me not on you I was trying to help she cheated on you with Shepard
00:23:31floated their affair exactly and those dresses who could afford those in a janitor's salary
00:23:38Miss Smith how could you do this we trusted you completely
00:23:43what no no I got Ben the deal I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura
00:23:49she's a liar oh stop it Amber you lied to us just as much as she did
00:23:55lied you're on my side and anyways I have a plan the Shepards are no one special we can expose Laura
00:24:05and all her lies go national we can make ourselves a household name now if you'll excuse me I have a
00:24:14very important phone call to me thank you so much for tonight Mr. Shepard thank you as well for
00:24:24standing up for me it's all right Laura you deserve the credit for all your hard work can I ask you
00:24:30something do you have any place to stay tonight maybe a hotel don't don't worry about me Mr. Shepard
00:24:36I'll be fine um excuse me you can just drop me off actually Laura actually Laura there is something else
00:24:43would you consider go out for dinner sometime just casually of course
00:24:48Mr. Shepard are you asking me out please call me Brian and yes technically you're single now
00:24:59yes that may be true but um going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper
00:25:09proper proper Laura I don't give a damn about appearances tonight I saw your intelligence and your
00:25:20strength those are qualities I truly admire so what you say dinner just two people getting to know each
00:25:30each other I'm sorry Mr. Shepard I actually have another appointment tonight so I can't wait Laura

00:30:30invitation well before you all start celebrating why don't you take a look at this oh that's rich

00:30:50speaking of Brian where is he right now you mean my uncle Ian don't be ridiculous yeah Ian Lewis
00:31:00personally gave me this invitation himself and besides this looks fake she's a liar this is a
00:31:10personal invitation from mr. Yates himself it grants me access to the VIP elevator which leads straight to
00:31:17the vice presidential suite she's lying they don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel

00:32:35happening here how long has this little affair been going on you've been sleeping with her since she

00:33:16this woman is a cleaner a cleaner nonsense I personally agree to miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood
00:33:23three years ago exactly Lewis group my company has some major investments planned here in Maplewood I was
00:33:33just here investigating potential business opportunities no this woman doesn't know the
00:33:38difference between business and a hole in the ground she's been this way since my son divorced her she's
00:33:43insane actually I've met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop she helped secure a profitable
00:33:51investment for Shepard group no it's a lie mr. Shepard she's tricking you too you know it's exhausting
00:34:02trying to argue with people who forget who helped them mr. Carter would you mind showing me to the VIP
00:34:09elevator wait is that why you're covering for her huh because of the affair because she slept with
00:34:14you excuse me who are you and how dare you speak to miss Lewis that way enough of this crap that's enough
00:34:20have you embarrass yourself enough this is Lewis group property behave or I'll call security but she
00:34:26doesn't even have a VIP entrance access she shouldn't be here since you're having trouble understanding
00:34:33Ben let me make it clear this hotel is owned by the Lewis family it's mine to come or go as I please
00:34:43thank you for sending me in Brian I owe you one we'll talk about this later well it seems divorcing a
00:34:56powerful woman wasn't the best decision mr. Harrison excuse me vice presidents I'm Amber Smith general
00:35:13manager of the Lewis group make wood branch I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today maplewood
00:35:19branch our records don't show any maplewood branch miss Smith are you sure you haven't gotten something
00:35:27mixed up Ian look mr. Lewis reassured me that today we would discuss well expansion plans oh expansion plans
00:35:40miss Smith a decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval and frankly we haven't heard
00:35:47anything about maplewood branch but Ian Lewis assured me that miss Smith we have a very important guest
00:35:55arriving soon perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff maybe I can
00:36:00stay for this guest and offer some little miss Smith we'd like you to leave if you don't we'll call
00:36:05security hey stop there this elevators of VIP only back please of course my apologies Laura vice presidents
00:36:28it's so good to see all of you again miss Lewis it's been too long your return is a lifesaver miss Lewis

00:36:44begging you to come back it's loose well please sit yes well it is time for me to get my career back on
00:36:54track we've got a meeting planned a big one in just a few days local powerhouses and smaller players too
00:37:03they'll all be there in one spot miss Lewis we met with an amber Smith she claimed your uncle appointed
00:37:13her general manager of a maplewood branch for the Lewis group she said that did she well miss Smith is a liar
00:37:21there is no maplewood branch at least not yet she lied so blatantly it was it's unbelievable well
00:37:28don't worry I found a much more suitable partner Shepherd group Shepherd crew their rise to a public
00:37:38company has been impressive do you have anything to do with that so what happens now with this
00:37:45Amber Smith oh don't worry about Amber I've got plans for her this Lewis consider this your official
00:38:00invitation to the meeting from us cheers cheers

00:38:24are yes we were waiting for miss Smith Lewis group Maplewood branch no such thing ma'am and frankly I'm
00:38:33not interested in your act oh of course Laura she's probably sleeping with the manager as well that's how
00:38:40she gets away with everything you underestimate her Kathy she's probably sleeping with all three
00:38:45vice presidents no way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this careful with your words both of
00:38:52you accusations like that can get you in serious trouble look who can't even get into a meeting
00:38:59whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents and let's not forget the mystery guests that they're
00:39:05bringing to Maplewood looks like she used you and toss you aside use me unlike some people I don't mind
00:39:12being helpful you're so stupid she threw you away like yesterday's trash don't worry Brian you deserve
00:39:20better and let's not forget I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis group appointed by the
00:39:26CEO of Lewis group themselves Ian Lewis new branch manager huh interesting Laura Lewis what are you doing
00:39:36here get out of here you claim to be the mystery guest don't play games Laura I was formally invited by
00:39:43Lewis group themselves to the investment meeting only the top companies get those looks like you're all out
00:39:50of luck is that so well then there seems to be a misunderstanding you see I'm not sure if you know
00:40:00miss Smith but Lewis group is my company and I decide who goes to the meetings escort them out their visit is
00:40:10is over oh come on this way please I'm not leaving move we're not leaving again move oh no no no we're not
00:40:19going now okay this isn't over Laura you see thanks for waiting
00:40:27and thank you for defending me I really appreciate it um are you coming to the meeting yes but it's gonna be tricky
00:40:47why I'm sure that shepherd group got an invitation
00:40:54yes
00:40:57Laura there's something you should know
00:41:01is is this about Ben because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems he won't even get
00:41:10past security
00:41:11Laura it's not Ben it's someone else
00:41:16someone's causing problems for shepherd group
00:41:21yes
00:41:24her name is Chloe Duke she is daughter of the Duke family
00:41:31she's my ex-fiancee and let's say things didn't end so well between us and let's just say we didn't
00:41:45anything so well and for some reason she's having a hard time moving on
00:41:52and you think that she's gonna cause problems at the meeting for out of jealousy
00:42:05there's a possibility she's kind of jealous
00:42:09well all the more reason for you to be there besides I'll be there too
00:42:18Laura would you consider being I guess at the meeting
00:42:26what are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too
00:42:31maybe a little but mostly I want to show them we're team
00:42:36well it's a very kind offer Mr. Shepherd thank you
00:42:41Laura
00:42:43I don't care about your best I just want to be by your side I think I'm falling for you

00:53:42You
00:54:01If I can't have Brian neither can you the Duke family has more influence than you think
00:54:09Chloe good to see you. I've been expecting you
00:54:12I need your help with something. What is it anything for my little Chloe?
00:54:20It's Brian. Who's that woman? I thought you were? She's a con woman. She actually used
00:54:28to be a cleaner in his company. What? Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:54:36She's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him. What are you planning? I want to destroy
00:54:44Shepard group.
00:54:48Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe. I had no idea she would be so intense.
00:54:58What do you mean? You so should have taken her up on her offer. I mean you guys are just
00:55:06Power couple
00:55:08I see what you're doing
00:55:10Power couple you say
00:55:12More like a disaster waiting to happen
00:55:18Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:55:20Actually Brian my seat is up there
00:55:26Really?
00:55:28She doesn't deserve to sit there
00:55:30Excuse me
00:55:31This is my VIP invitation
00:55:34I can sit wherever I like
00:55:36Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:55:38This is signed by all three VPs of Louis group
00:55:42Where did you get this?
00:55:45Who did you have to sleep with?
00:55:46That's enough
00:55:49This is getting us nowhere
00:55:51Laura is my guest
00:55:53And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her
00:55:58Got it?
00:56:00Mr. Shepard
00:56:01What do you see in that woman?
00:56:04Miss Duke is a perfect match for you
00:56:06She's from a good family
00:56:08Beautiful and successful
00:56:10What more could you ask for?
00:56:13That's a good question
00:56:15Not much actually
00:56:17Honesty
00:56:19That's what I want
00:56:21And love
00:56:23Things that clearly Chloe has no idea
00:56:26I said I was sorry
00:56:28What more do you want?
00:56:30I've watched Chloe grow up
00:56:32She's like a daughter to me
00:56:34I won't allow her to be spoken to like that
00:56:37One more chance, Brian
00:56:42Let's forget all this nonsense
00:56:45Do it, Mrs. Shepard
00:56:46Propose right here, right now
00:56:50Brian?
00:56:54Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:56:58By forcing a ring on someone?
00:57:01Do it or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family
00:57:11Don't you dare
00:57:13You're humiliating yourself
00:57:15How dare you?
00:57:16Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:57:19Yes
00:57:21I like her
00:57:24But I can't imagine someone like her interesting in me
00:57:30The truth is
00:57:31I wouldn't be here where I am today without her
00:57:35Why would you choose someone like her?
00:57:38Exactly! This woman is trouble!
00:57:40She doesn't belong here!
00:57:42Throw her out!
00:57:43You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?
00:57:48Interesting turn of events
00:57:51Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past
00:57:55Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura
00:57:59that you're the missing heiress Laura Lewis?
00:58:01You know what? Maybe you're right, Chloe
00:58:07How ridiculous!
00:58:08Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:58:10I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation but
00:58:16Wow!
00:58:17Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?
00:58:21You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that!
00:58:24That's enough!
00:58:25You don't get to talk here!
00:58:26You got mad, Shepard!
00:58:27You dare to go and get for Miss Duke!
00:58:29And the same applies to everyone else here
00:58:32Anyone who insults Laura
00:58:35Leave us with a black eye
00:58:37She's willing to defend the Duke for her
00:58:39What kind of charm does she have?
00:58:40I want to be careful, Brian
00:58:42Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group
00:58:46Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:58:50The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not
00:58:54Shepard Group
00:58:59Lewis Group RS?
00:59:01You?
00:59:03Don't make me laugh!
00:59:05Security, remove these two imposters from the premises
00:59:09Wait, Uncle Jones
00:59:10Give Brian another chance
00:59:12Choose, Brian
00:59:14Me and the future you deserve or this fraud
00:59:18What?
00:59:20Chloe
00:59:22I have everything I ever wanted right here
00:59:26And I wouldn't trade for all the power to do so in Maplewood
00:59:30Fine
00:59:36Short the stock of the Shepard Group
00:59:38What?
00:59:41You forced my hand, Brian
00:59:43Now Shepard Group is ruined
00:59:45The Duke family, they can't be serious
00:59:48Shepard Group is doomed
00:59:49Brian
00:59:51You don't have to do this for me
00:59:54Laura
00:59:55I will never let anyone bully you
00:59:58Let alone them
00:59:59Thank you, Brian
01:00:02For
01:00:03For believing in me
01:00:05For
01:00:06Protecting me
01:00:08Now it's my turn
01:00:10To protect you
01:00:11Listen carefully
01:00:19I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock
01:00:22At all costs
01:00:24Don't let it drop
01:00:26Even one cent
01:00:29Do you understand?
01:00:31Wow
01:00:32Award-winning performance, Laura
01:00:35But you can't possibly control the stock market
01:00:38Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
01:00:42If
01:00:44The Shepard stock holds
01:00:47For the next five minutes
01:00:52You owe me a public apology
01:00:54Deal
01:01:03Well
01:01:05Looks like your five minutes is up
01:01:09Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing
01:01:15What the?
01:01:17The Shepard Group stock price is
01:01:19It's going up
01:01:20This can't be happening
01:01:21It must be a coincidence
01:01:23Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
01:01:32There was a huge investment
01:01:34We couldn't compete
01:01:35Shepard stock price is being heavily supported
01:01:38How did you do this?
01:01:40Like I said, Chloe
01:01:44I'm Laura Lewis
01:01:47No you're not
01:01:48You're just some cleaner
01:01:49You don't have access to billions
01:01:50Well
01:01:53I think it's time for my apology
01:02:00No
01:02:02I think it's time for my apology
01:02:03There is no way I'm apologizing to you
01:02:06If things were the other way
01:02:07Would you be so quick to forgive me?
01:02:09Chloe
01:02:10The truth is
01:02:13Everyone here
01:02:16Has seen you be a bully
01:02:18And a coward
01:02:20And now
01:02:21A sore loser
01:02:24This is so humiliating for her
01:02:27How did she manage that?
01:02:29Maybe she really is a Lewis
01:02:31Apologize to Miss Lewis
01:02:34Shut up
01:02:35Don't you die talk about Miss Duke like that
01:02:38Don't forget
01:02:39The Duke finally owned half of Maplewood
01:02:41They don't lose our voice
01:02:43Let's get out of here
01:02:45Hold on
01:02:45This is where I belong
01:02:50And that is my chair
01:02:53You can't go there
01:02:55That is the VIP section
01:02:57Only those invited by the Lewis Group vice presidents get to sit there
01:03:02Like I said, Chloe
01:03:04That's my seat
01:03:11Had a rumor floating around a few days ago
01:03:14Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene
01:03:17At a signing ceremony
01:03:18Between her ex and Mr. Shepard
01:03:21Wasn't it?
01:03:22Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
01:03:25Is this how you charm all your men?
01:03:27Shall we?
01:03:29My pleasure
01:03:29What are you doing?
01:03:33Let go
01:03:34It doesn't matter what happened
01:03:35I choose to stay by Laura's side
01:03:39Let's go
01:03:41Don't be absurd
01:03:42That seat is reserved for a very important guest
01:03:46Someone so esteemed
01:03:48Even the vice presidents have to bow low
01:03:52And
01:03:54How
01:03:55Exactly, Mr. Jones
01:03:57Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
01:04:01Wait, that's Peter Young
01:04:03Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group
01:04:09Ask Peter Young
01:04:10He decides which
01:04:11It's
01:04:11It's
01:04:12Chloe Duke
01:04:13Head of Duke Industries
01:04:14So glad you could join us
01:04:16Why is everyone standing around?
01:04:17It's her
01:04:18She's making a huge scene
01:04:20Trying to claim the VIP seat
01:04:22It's embarrassing
01:04:23That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest
01:04:27Specifically the family heir
01:04:29Please get off the stage
01:04:31Oh yes
01:04:32Mr. Young
01:04:34Was it?
01:04:35I think I remember you
01:04:36You manage my family's investments
01:04:40Don't pretend like you know what's going on
01:04:43Please get off the stage
01:04:44That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir
01:04:47I need to make one thing crystal clear
01:04:51I am the heir
01:04:59Of the Lewis family
01:05:02This is ridiculous
01:05:04You
01:05:05The Lewis heir
01:05:06Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here
01:05:09You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this
01:05:12Exactly
01:05:13We ran a background check on her
01:05:15And it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group
01:05:19Before that I could see her in my famous supermarket
01:05:23See Brian
01:05:24This is who you've been chasing after
01:05:26A liar and a cheat
01:05:28Security
01:05:29Get this imposter out of here
01:05:31And everyone here is a witness
01:05:33Why would any of you trust Laura
01:05:36If any of you dares to harm her
01:05:40You have to go through me first
01:05:42Brian she's just a nobody
01:05:45She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched
01:05:48They didn't even want her
01:05:50What exactly do you see in her?
01:05:52Escort this imposter out of here
01:05:54Now
01:05:55Oh Peter
01:06:03Peter
01:06:04Do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:06:07Hey Mr. Yates
01:06:08I'm so glad you could join us
01:06:12Miss Lewis
01:06:13Sorry about the delay
01:06:15And for all the trouble you've had to put up with
01:06:17It's no trouble Mr. Yates
01:06:20Luckily I haven't been alone
01:06:22I've had the great company of my very loyal
01:06:27Friend
01:06:28Wait a minute
01:06:30She's Miss Lewis
01:06:30Is this a joke?
01:06:32Mr. Young
01:06:34You're new to the Lewis Group
01:06:35So I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis
01:06:38But you listened to lies without checking the facts
01:06:44And almost called the police
01:06:47Tell me Mr. Young who put you up to this?
01:06:51Was it my uncle Ian Lewis?
01:06:57I knew it
01:07:00Consider this your termination
01:07:03I get it now
01:07:05This is all an act
01:07:07Right?
01:07:08Chloe what are you doing?
01:07:09We still want to work with the Lewis family
01:07:10Work with them?
01:07:11Are you blind?
01:07:12This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man
01:07:16That's enough young lady
01:07:17You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group
01:07:22Oh Chloe
01:07:24I can't believe we're going through this again
01:07:26I think you need some professional help
01:07:29Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist
01:07:32Chloe
01:07:33That's enough
01:07:34It's ridiculous
01:07:35If you were really the Lewis family heir
01:07:37You would have the ring
01:07:38So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:07:40Show us the ring
01:07:44Why don't you show that to everyone?
01:07:46Show us the ring
01:07:47Show us the ring
01:07:48Show us the ring
01:07:49Who are you to make demands of me?
01:07:52I don't answer to anyone but myself
01:07:56I don't need any of your validation
01:08:02There's a ring
01:08:07Vice Presidents
01:08:09I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family
01:08:11This woman is an imposter
01:08:13Miss Lewis
01:08:15We apologize for the delay
01:08:16How could you just let that con woman sit there?
01:08:19Get her out of here
01:08:20This seat was always from Miss Lewis
01:08:24She's the special guest we've been waiting for
01:08:27The investment queen
01:08:29The real heir to Lewis Group
01:08:32Laura Lewis
01:08:34She's a divorced host wife
01:08:35A janitor
01:08:36How can she?
01:08:37She can't be
01:08:38It's a lie
01:08:38I'm telling you
01:08:39It's a lie
01:08:40Do you think we'd lie?
01:08:42We run Lewis Group
01:08:44Oh Chloe
01:08:46You assaulted me earlier
01:08:49And you came to this meeting to what?
01:08:52Sabotage it
01:08:54You'll be hearing from our legal team
01:08:59Is this true Miss Duke?
01:09:01Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:09:03Yes
01:09:05It's all true
01:09:06She fooled us all
01:09:07The Duke tricked us to keep
01:09:09Lewis Group out of Maplewood
01:09:12And control everything themselves
01:09:13I had no idea
01:09:14But I'm on your side
01:09:16I can give you everything you need
01:09:19All the resources in Maplewood
01:09:21Miss Lewis
01:09:22How would you like us to deal with this?
01:09:25An eye
01:09:27An eye
01:09:28For an eye
01:09:31Since Miss Duke here
01:09:34Loves ruining things
01:09:38I'll target her precious Duke Industries
01:09:42I want them bankrupt in 10 minutes
01:09:45You're bluffing
01:09:47You're nobody
01:09:48You'll always be a nobody
01:09:50And you can't touch me
01:09:51Then consider this a test
01:09:54Chloe
01:09:56I didn't need my family's support with Shepard
01:09:58And I certainly don't need it now
01:10:00Chloe
01:10:02You dug your own grave
01:10:03You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family
01:10:07With just the Shepard group?
01:10:09Please
01:10:12We'll see
01:10:18Dad?
01:10:20Slow down
01:10:21What are you talking about?
01:10:22No
01:10:26It's impossible
01:10:27Chloe
01:10:28What have you done?
01:10:30Years of hard work
01:10:31Destroyed in minutes
01:10:36What did you do?
01:10:38Well
01:10:39Chloe
01:10:41Isn't this what you wanted?
01:10:42To give me a little taste of destruction
01:10:46This is impossible
01:10:47It's impossible
01:10:49Chloe
01:10:50What have you done?
01:10:52The news is everywhere
01:10:54Shepard's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market
01:10:57They're hammering our shares
01:11:00Are you sure it's just Shepard?
01:11:01Yes
01:11:02Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato
01:11:06We could go bankrupt
01:11:08You've ruined everything
01:11:09Don't worry Mr. Duke
01:11:11When your company does go bankrupt
01:11:14I'll buy it
01:11:15At a fire sale price
01:11:16Your employees won't even be affected
01:11:18Brilliant
01:11:19A master stroke Miss Lewis
01:11:23Now
01:11:24This
01:11:25Is my event
01:11:27Please leave
01:11:28Brian
01:11:28I did this for us
01:11:30Everything I did I did for us Brian
01:11:35Chloe
01:11:36You need help
01:11:38These feelings you have for me
01:11:40It's not love
01:11:41It's obsession
01:11:44Enough
01:11:46If you don't want to ruin everything completely you'll come with me
01:11:49Right now
01:11:51No
01:11:52Right now
01:11:55Run
01:12:01Lara
01:12:02This isn't Argo
01:12:04Get out of me
01:12:05What is going on here?
01:12:10What is going on here?
01:12:12Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:12:14Shepard Group
01:12:15They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group for Maplewood
01:12:19They're handling all future construction projects
01:12:21That can't be
01:12:23What about us? That was our project
01:12:25Remember Laura teamed up with Brian
01:12:28Harrison Group is practically out
01:12:29We have no chance
01:12:31We can't give up that easily
01:12:33Remember
01:12:34Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager
01:12:37In a few days he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir
01:12:40You're right
01:12:41If we can just meet with the new heir we can bypass the Shepards
01:12:44And meet directly with the Lewis Group
01:12:47We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top
01:12:51That's right
01:12:52Vice Presidents allow me to introduce my associate Brian Shepard
01:13:01I'm sure I've mentioned him before
01:13:03Mr. Shepard it's finally a pleasure to meet you
01:13:06We've looked into your company's financial review
01:13:10Very impressive
01:13:11Thank you
01:13:12Thank you but a large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis
01:13:17She practically saved me from disaster three times over now
01:13:22Brian you can just call me Laura
01:13:25Ms. Lewis's recommendation is very telling Mr. Shepard
01:13:30Perhaps today clarifies everything
01:13:32Mr. Shepard this opportunity is going
01:13:36Seize it
01:13:38A woman like Laura is not easy to find
01:13:41Thank you for your kind words Mr. Vice President
01:13:43Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:13:53Laura?
01:13:55Hardly
01:13:56I'm Ian Lewis
01:13:58CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group
01:14:03So you're Laura's uncle?
01:14:04In the flesh
01:14:07So Laura really is your niece?
01:14:09Yes
01:14:10Little Laura
01:14:12She just threw away her birthright about two three years ago
01:14:16Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood
01:14:19I think he was a Harrison
01:14:20Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side
01:14:24Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?
01:14:28And we can't let that happen can we my dear?
01:14:31If you're Ian Lewis wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:14:34Well my dear that's where you come in Miss Duke
01:14:38We need you to relinquish my ring
01:14:42What if I what if I fail?
01:14:44My family is already ruined
01:14:46Yes you are in a spot of bother I must say
01:14:49But if successful I guarantee that you and the Duke family will get back everything you've lost
01:14:56Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side how can I possibly get the ring?
01:15:01There is a way you know that we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly
01:15:09Laura my dear welcome
01:15:13Uncle Ian it's so good to see you
01:15:16Laura so good to see you
01:15:22And you it's been too long two three years perhaps
01:15:27How have you been?
01:15:28I've been well Uncle Ian thank you for asking
01:15:32I see you've been busy keeping Lewis group afloat
01:15:36Yes indeed somebody had to I mean after you left me with everything to do without a safe pair of hands
01:15:44I hate to think what would have happened to the company
01:15:47Actually Uncle Ian from what I've heard you've lost billions with some
01:15:53questionable investment decisions
01:15:55Yes minor mistakes minor
01:15:58Don't worry Uncle Ian I won't hold it against you
01:16:01Oh good well cheers to you coming back here and the Lewis group
01:16:10Oh I'm so sorry Laura how clumsy of me
01:16:16No no worries Uncle Ian I I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up
01:16:22Of course right away just down to the left
01:16:31Use it wisely
01:16:33Oh I will
01:16:48Hey Laura how's it?
01:16:51Hello Brian your little girlfriend is with me now
01:16:54Chloe how in the hell did you get Laura's phone?
01:16:58Let's just say that I have my ways
01:17:01Listen Chloe don't hurt her please
01:17:06I'll do anything
01:17:10Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs
01:17:13Now don't tell anyone if you want her alive
01:17:20Well you certainly do have your ways
01:17:26Oh thank goodness you've cleared up I am sorry how clumsy
01:17:30And don't forget your phone I retrieved it for you
01:17:33Thank you
01:17:34Lovely to see you again
01:17:35Yeah I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet

01:18:32Out of my mind
01:18:34You were the one that left me for that tramp and destroyed my life
01:18:37That's not true
01:18:39You were the one who messed up
01:18:40Brian
01:18:41Laura
01:18:44Stay where you are
01:18:46You better come alone
01:18:49Shut this knife Chloe
01:18:50This is insane
01:18:52Insane
01:18:53I did this for us Brian
01:18:56We were meant to be together
01:18:59Us you've gone crazy
01:19:01And you're out of here
01:19:02Chloe
01:19:03Kidnapping is a very serious event
01:19:06They're going to lock you up for years
01:19:08You think I care
01:19:10About jail time
01:19:12All I care about is tearing you two apart
01:19:14You don't deserve him
01:19:17What you've done
01:19:18You've destroyed my life
01:19:21My company everything

01:19:33Did my uncle Ian put you up to this
01:19:36You know Chloe
01:19:38Trying to kill me
01:19:40That's foolish
01:19:42Because who do you think is going to win
01:19:45You
01:19:47That little knife
01:19:48Or
01:19:50Me
01:19:51Something a little bit more persuasive
01:20:01Freeze
01:20:01Don't move anyone
01:20:06Don't move
01:20:07You're about to be arrested for kidnapping
01:20:10Miss Lewis
01:20:12Having fun without me
01:20:14I'm hurt

01:20:29You're going to kill me anyway
01:20:32Chloe I don't have a problem with you
01:20:34But if you don't talk
01:20:36Your beloved Duke Industries might run into some
01:20:41Well I'm recording everything Miss Lewis
01:20:45So the choice is yours Chloe
01:20:47Talk
01:20:48Or face the consequences
01:20:50Fine
01:20:51It was Ian Lewis
01:20:54He said he'd help Duke Industries
01:20:55If I kept you away from the banker today
01:20:59Did you get all of that Mr. Yates?
01:21:01I'm recording everything Miss Lewis
01:21:06Oh every word Miss Lewis
01:21:08Are you ready to play a game
01:21:10Brian
01:21:21This is crazy
01:21:22Are we really sure we can do this?
01:21:23All these big companies here
01:21:24It's crazy
01:21:26Absolutely
01:21:27The Lewis Group is under new leadership
01:21:29We can talk to the heiress herself
01:21:31Exactly
01:21:32We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir
01:21:36There's Ian Lewis now
01:21:38You can introduce yourself
01:21:39Let's go
01:21:39Yeah
01:21:42Hello Ian Lewis
01:21:43I'm Amber Smith
01:21:44We spoke on the phone the other day
01:21:46This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group
01:21:48How do you do
01:21:49We're the company that
01:21:50Yes I know who you are
01:21:52Miss Smith you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama
01:21:56Now look I'm not here for idle chatter
01:22:02Good evening ladies and gentlemen
01:22:03Could I ask you all to be seated please
01:22:06Thank you
01:22:08The moment you've all been waiting for
01:22:11Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group
01:22:15A night where the rightful heir takes their place
01:22:17Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group
01:22:22Miss Laura Lewis
01:22:24Look everybody attention attention please
01:22:29There's been a recent development
01:22:32of some tragedy
01:22:34I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago
01:22:38that Laura has been in a car accident
01:22:41And tragically she hasn't made it
01:22:44She has not survived
01:22:48What? Laura Lewis is dead?
01:22:52It doesn't matter now she's gone
01:22:53Mr. Lewis is this new
01:22:55A tragic turn of events Mr. Yates
01:22:58But rest assured the Lewis Group will continue
01:23:01under my competent leadership
01:23:04Hold on
01:23:05Who said that I'm dead?
01:23:09Laura
01:23:14I don't understand what's happening
01:23:18Laura?
01:23:19But weren't you?
01:23:20My apologies for the delay everyone
01:23:24There seems to be some
01:23:26misunderstanding
01:23:27Laura what are you doing here?
01:23:29You gotta stop this
01:23:29If you upset the Lewis family anymore we're all doomed
01:23:32I'll say this once
01:23:34Back off then
01:23:40Thank you for coming everyone
01:23:42As I'm sure you know
01:23:44Tonight
01:23:46I officially reclaim my title
01:23:49As the CEO of Lewis Group
01:23:54Perhaps
01:23:54You could make some room for me
01:23:57Uncle Ian
01:23:58Impossible
01:23:59How are you still alive?
01:24:01Well clearly I am alive and well
01:24:04So why don't we get this started?
01:24:06No
01:24:06You're not the rightful heir
01:24:09You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison
01:24:13Uncle Ian is that seriously your argument
01:24:15The best that you have that I got married too quickly?
01:24:18Well you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger
01:24:22And left me to work tirelessly keeping the company together
01:24:26Uncle Ian retire
01:24:28Enjoy your retirement
01:24:31Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you
01:24:33No
01:24:34There can only be one heir
01:24:37And that's me
01:24:38And the rightful heir has possession of this
01:24:41You think a ring makes an heir?
01:24:45You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined
01:24:50Give that back to me
01:24:51This
01:24:52Yes
01:24:53You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:24:57Give it back
01:24:58True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you
01:25:05Not some stupid ring
01:25:08Oh my ring?
01:25:08What have you done?
01:25:10Where is it?
01:25:13My ring?
01:25:15Now everyone if I could have your attention
01:25:18How dare you?
01:25:20Let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that
01:25:27Talk or face the consequences
01:25:29Fine it was Ian Lewis
01:25:32He said he'd help Jake industry if I kept you away from the bankers today
01:25:37You were doing
01:25:39Oh quite the spectacle Miss Lewis
01:25:42Security escort him out
01:25:45And Ian don't fall over
01:25:47It's all lies
01:25:48It's all lies
01:25:49Fakery
01:25:49It's fake news
01:25:50The proof is clear
01:25:51Get him out of here
01:25:52Now
01:25:56I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight
01:26:01Turns out reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped
01:26:06Luckily these past few days I've had Mr. Shepherd by my side and he has been a great support
01:26:18Lewis group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood
01:26:23I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner
01:26:30Shepherd group
01:26:33What?
01:26:34Laura hold on
01:26:36This was never my idea this was all Kathy and Amber's fault
01:26:39I don't want a divorce
01:26:41What?
01:26:41Then what are you saying?
01:26:43You came to me first
01:26:44Classic Ben
01:26:46Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life
01:26:50Just don't shut Harrison group out
01:26:52Just give me another chance
01:26:54How could I shut you out?
01:26:56I'm just a cleaner remember?
01:26:58I'm just a useless housewife
01:27:01I don't have that power
01:27:04What are you talking about?
01:27:05What?
01:27:05No, come on
01:27:06Sorry
01:27:06No, please
01:27:06No
01:27:07Please
01:27:07Um, Mr. Shepherd?
01:27:11Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:27:13I was wondering if
01:27:16Maybe you wanted to grab dinner sometime
01:27:21On me
01:27:23Miss Lewis
01:27:27I would love to
01:27:37We had to
01:27:56if
