00:00:00Bradley, I'm pregnant. You're gonna be your father.
00:00:05What's she doing here? What do you think?
00:00:09No need to hide anymore. I'm leaving you for Catherine.
00:00:13Unlike you, I'm young and rich. I can give Bradley what he deserves.
00:00:18Catherine hired me to be vice president to her family's hospital. She's also way better in bed.
00:00:23What's that?
00:00:30She's pregnant?
00:00:31What?
00:00:33She must be faking it to trap you.
00:00:36I'm so desperate.
00:00:38Give it back. Stop.
00:00:40Give it back.
00:00:41Where am I?
00:01:08Okay. What happened?
00:01:11The baby. Is the baby okay?
00:01:17I'm so sorry.
00:01:21We've lost the baby.
00:01:25So sorry.
00:01:30We're right here, sweetheart. We're right here.
00:01:33I won't let Bradley and that woman get away with this.
00:01:47I'm ready to come back, Dad.
00:01:49Well, revenge won't heal the heart.
00:01:51This isn't about revenge. This is about holding them accountable.
00:01:54Are you sure you're ready for this?
00:01:56I've been preparing for years, Mom.
00:01:58Okay, but there is a condition.
00:02:06I have an important announcement.
00:02:09My daughter, Mia Gerber, will be the new CEO of Gerber Corporation.
00:02:13Is Mia ready for such a big role?
00:02:15I've been concealing my identity to go undercover within the industry.
00:02:19I've learned our competitors from the inside.
00:02:22Trust me.
00:02:22I'm more than ready.
00:02:27Furthermore, Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:02:33Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:02:39There is a condition.
00:02:40You're going to have to marry Joshua Lane, the heir of Lane Holdings.
00:02:45Mia's never even met this guy before.
00:02:47It's a strategic alliance, Noah.
00:02:51It's what's best for our families and the company.
00:02:54I'll do it.
00:02:58I'll marry Joshua Lane if that's what it takes.
00:03:02And this alliance
00:03:04will strengthen our company and secure our future.
00:03:08Isn't Joshua Lane famous for being called the new Ruffles?
00:03:20That's what I heard.
00:03:21But I think it'll be good for the company.
00:03:23I don't think it'll be good for the new CEO.
00:03:25Joshua, I was hoping we could...
00:03:47Not interested.
00:03:48Get lost.
00:03:53Man, you are brutal.
00:03:54That's the fifth girl you've turned down tonight.
00:03:57Hey, I heard you're getting hitched to Mia Gerber.
00:04:00Why didn't you turn her down?
00:04:01This marriage is what my parents want.
00:04:03Couldn't care less about her.
00:04:05Oh, come on.
00:04:05She's the heiress to the Gerber Corporation.
00:04:07There must be some perks to her.
00:04:09Perks or not.
00:04:10She'll learn quickly that I'm not one to be messed with.
00:04:13Gonna give her a hard time, huh?
00:04:15Let's just say that she's got something coming.
00:04:24Do you, Joshua Lane, take Mia Gerber for your lawfully wedded wife?
00:04:31I do.
00:04:34And you, Mia Gerber, do you take Joshua Lane for your lawfully wedded husband?
00:04:40I do.
00:04:42Uh, the rings?
00:04:43You may now kiss the bride.
00:04:53I do.
00:04:53Let's get one thing straight, Mia.
00:05:07This marriage is a show for our family and the rest of the world.
00:05:11Don't expect any affection from me.
00:05:14Understood.
00:05:15And vice versa.
00:05:32My parents want to set up a dinner with us.
00:05:34My assistant will set it up.
00:05:35She can coordinate schedules with my assistant.
00:05:58Joshua has always been so distant with people.
00:06:02Unlike Alex here, who's so popular and charismatic.
00:06:08You should see all the women that can't stop chasing.
00:06:12Well, at least I don't have to worry if Alex can give me a grandson.
00:06:17But I wonder, Joshua, if you can even warm up enough to give me a child.
00:06:24We need an heir after all.
00:06:25Well, Eleanor, that's enough.
00:06:28I'm just saying.
00:06:30Perhaps Alex is a better fit to leave Lane Holden.
00:06:34Quite the contrary.
00:06:36Actually, Joshua's very passionate.
00:06:39Especially in the bedroom.
00:06:41No doubt that you'll have that heir soon.
00:06:44For your information, passion is not in my DNA, nor does it align with my personal brand.
00:06:57But still, thank you for standing up for me.
00:07:00I just didn't appreciate your stepmom's attitude.
00:07:12Get the campaign ready.
00:07:14I want that jerk out, Asa.
00:07:20Noah, hey.
00:07:20I need a favor.
00:07:26You're right.
00:07:27Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua.
00:07:31Blue Diamond PR is already involved.
00:07:33What agency are we using?
00:07:36We're still deciding.
00:07:37Bids are open for this year's contract.
00:07:40Perfect.
00:07:42I have a plan.
00:07:46I'm offering the Gerber Corporation's annual PR budget.
00:07:49It's one of the largest in the industry.
00:07:52That's an enticing offer, Ms. Gerber.
00:07:55What do you ask of me in return?
00:07:57I need you to withdraw from any campaign against Joshua Lane.
00:08:01I don't mind.
00:08:02I'll cover the cancellation fee.
00:08:09You have a deal.
00:08:11The Gerber Corporation account is too good to pass up.
00:08:15There's a little more.
00:08:16I need you to spread the word.
00:08:18Any PR firm that goes against Joshua Lane will be blacklisted from the Gerber Corporation and our allies.
00:08:26You got it.
00:08:27No one in this industry would be stupid enough to fight against the Gerber Corporation.
00:08:33Wonderful.
00:08:34Okay.
00:08:35Looking forward to a fruitful partnership.
00:08:36I have evidence of Alex's scheme against you.
00:08:45But don't worry, I've already taken care of it.
00:08:47I always knew Eleanor and Alex to be after my position.
00:08:52I just didn't expect Alex to be this bold.
00:08:55How do you know about this?
00:08:57Alex struck me as opportunistic.
00:08:59A smear campaign is the easiest way to sway the shareholders' opinion.
00:09:02And Eleanor's background in PR made this move predictable.
00:09:04You're more perceptive than I thought.
00:09:09Why are you helping me?
00:09:13Our family's alliance is crucial.
00:09:15Protecting you means protecting the Gerber Corporation.
00:09:18It's all business.
00:09:22Business, right.
00:09:23Well, in that case, I should help you with your beef with Catherine and Bradley, right?
00:09:30How did you know about that?
00:09:33You didn't expect me to enter into the marriage without doing background checks.
00:09:36I just don't get what the big deal about your ex is.
00:09:39I mean, he cheated on you.
00:09:41So what?
00:09:44She must be faking it to trap you.
00:09:50How dare you?
00:09:50You had no right to dig into my past like that.
00:09:55I can take care of myself.
00:10:00What just happened?
00:10:04To your new position as Senior VP.
00:10:09And it's all thanks to my help, of course.
00:10:12Absolutely.
00:10:13You're my lucky charm, honey.
00:10:14Me, me.
00:10:14Imagine if I'd stayed with Mia.
00:10:22Poor and tireless.
00:10:23That's all she ever was.
00:10:24She's a joke.
00:10:26A stepping stone at best.
00:10:28You by my side.
00:10:29We are unstoppable.
00:10:30Catherine's hospital is resisting our acquisition.
00:10:44Bradley, as the new Senior VP, is leading the pushback.
00:10:48Do they know I'm the CEO yet?
00:10:50No, as per your request.
00:10:52Perfect.
00:10:53Keep at it.
00:10:53Now, how do I pull this off?
00:11:09There are gaps in Mia's medical record right after her breakup.
00:11:13These are from the Gerber Corporation's own hospital.
00:11:16Only someone higher up from within can access it.
00:11:18I want to know what happened to Mia during that gap.
00:11:25After the breakup.
00:11:26Even if I know, why would I tell you?
00:11:29Mia helped me.
00:11:30But unless I understand that part of the puzzle,
00:11:32I won't be able to return her favor.
00:11:35To care for her?
00:11:37Don't dislike her?
00:11:40Now, Mia deserves someone who truly loves her.
00:11:43Not you.
00:11:45She's a grown woman.
00:11:46She knows what she wants.
00:11:47Nobody gets to tell her what she deserves.
00:11:49Especially not you.
00:11:58You can choose not to share the information.
00:12:01But you won't be helping her.
00:12:04Your choice.
00:12:09Alright, look.
00:12:11If you have to know,
00:12:13unfortunately,
00:12:15we had a miscarriage.
00:12:16because of an accident involving Bradley and Catherine.
00:12:38How are you feeling?
00:12:40It's none of your business.
00:12:44Not that you would know what that means.
00:12:46I'm sorry for overstepping
00:12:48and being insensitive.
00:12:50I learned about your miscarriage.
00:12:52I had no idea.
00:12:54You didn't know?
00:12:55That doesn't excuse my behavior.
00:12:58I apologize.
00:13:00I may have overreacted.
00:13:02You were hurting.
00:13:03That's understandable.
00:13:04So you're not a robot.
00:13:06Like everyone says you are.
00:13:08Of course I'm not.
00:13:09Who says that?
00:13:11Everyone.
00:13:12Your family,
00:13:12your friends,
00:13:13your co-workers,
00:13:15enemies.
00:13:17I even heard the maids joking about it the other day.
00:13:20Fire them all.
00:13:21No, no.
00:13:22No, it's okay.
00:13:24They're allowed to joke.
00:13:25They've been doing a wonderful job.
00:13:27Besides,
00:13:29I think you should
00:13:29talk like this.
00:13:31It suits you.
00:13:34It's not funny.
00:13:38It's late.
00:13:41You're going to bed.
00:13:44Okay.
00:13:45Good night.
00:13:52Talk like this.
00:13:57Go ahead with the plan.
00:14:08Short the stock of Catherine's company.
00:14:10I want to see them bleed.
00:14:20Mia,
00:14:21you need to see this.
00:14:23The stock of Catherine's hospital
00:14:24has been shortened dramatically.
00:14:25They're on the verge of bankruptcy.
00:14:27Just a week?
00:14:28How is this possible?
00:14:30Seems like a coordinated attack.
00:14:32Someone powerful is behind this.
00:14:36Joshua.
00:14:42Did you short Catherine's stock?
00:14:45Yes, I did.
00:14:46Why?
00:14:47Strictly for business.
00:14:49To protect our family's alliances.
00:14:50Your enemies are my enemies now.
00:14:53Thank you, Joshua.
00:14:54That's necessary.
00:14:55Just like you would do.
00:14:56Now to pay a little visit
00:14:57to Bradley and Catherine.
00:15:06Bradley,
00:15:07what are we going to do?
00:15:08They're taking everything.
00:15:10I can't believe this is happening.
00:15:13As of now,
00:15:14this hospital is under
00:15:15Gerber Corporation's control.
00:15:17Yes, the Gerber Corporation.
00:15:19As in my family's company.
00:15:21Mia Gerber?
00:15:21I thought you were Mia Whitlock.
00:15:23Whitlock was just a name I used
00:15:25to conceal my identity.
00:15:27You betrayed and hurt my wife.
00:15:29Now you're facing the consequences.
00:15:31I've resigned.
00:15:32You can't touch me.
00:15:33Resignation or not, Bradley,
00:15:34your career is over.
00:15:36I've seen to it that everyone in this industry
00:15:37won't touch you after what you've done.
00:15:40Mia,
00:15:41you know that I never meant to hurt you.
00:15:45This hospital is all that I have left.
00:15:46Please.
00:15:48No.
00:15:49That day that I fell,
00:15:51you stood there and watched.
00:15:53You made your decision then.
00:15:55Mia, can we talk?
00:15:56I know I hurt you deeply.
00:15:58I just want to apologize
00:15:59to make things right.
00:16:14Mia, I'm truly sorry
00:16:16about everything.
00:16:18I dreamt about you and the baby
00:16:20every day.
00:16:21I just couldn't bring myself
00:16:22to tell you this
00:16:23after the accident
00:16:23because I felt so ashamed of myself.
00:16:26Your apology can't undo
00:16:27what's been done, Bradley.
00:16:29I know.
00:16:30I just...
00:16:31I need you to know
00:16:32that I will always care about you
00:16:34deeply.
00:16:48You're really like they say.
00:16:50Tall.
00:16:51Handsome.
00:16:52Powerful.
00:16:56You know I can make you
00:17:02a very happy man.
00:17:06I do not engage with women
00:17:09who have no shame.
00:17:11Handsome.
00:17:17Catherine manipulated me,
00:17:19but now I realize
00:17:19she's nothing compared to you.
00:17:21We could start over.
00:17:23With your family's resources,
00:17:24I could help you grow the business.
00:17:26We could be parents again.
00:17:27Give us a chance.
00:17:29You know,
00:17:30if I wasn't 100% sure before,
00:17:32I am now.
00:17:34You're a piece of human trash.
00:17:38You're right.
00:17:39I'm doing...
00:17:39But think about all the good memories
00:17:40we have.
00:17:41Think about more to come.
00:17:43Just...
00:17:43Let go.
00:17:44Mia, don't...
00:17:44Bradley.
00:17:45I'm serious.
00:17:45Don't get the fuck out of here.
00:17:47I should have intervened
00:17:58before Bradley could touch you.
00:17:59It's fine, Joshua.
00:18:01Thank you for stepping in.
00:18:03Thank you for...
00:18:05everything.
00:18:09Yeah, I followed through
00:18:10with all my business plans.
00:18:12Right.
00:18:13Yeah.
00:18:14The business plan.
00:18:15You know,
00:18:16you called me your wife
00:18:17for the first time.
00:18:19Don't look into it too much.
00:18:21Let's go.
00:18:23Actually,
00:18:23um,
00:18:24you know what?
00:18:25Now that all the revenge
00:18:26is done,
00:18:28I think I want to take
00:18:29some time alone
00:18:29to
00:18:30figure out my feelings.
00:18:33I understand.
00:18:40They've destroyed everything.
00:18:42We can't let them
00:18:43get away with this.
00:18:45What if we take
00:18:48Mia?
00:18:50A ransom would help us
00:18:52but hurt Mia.
00:18:54Yes.
00:18:56Abducting Mia Gerber.
00:18:58Let's see how
00:18:59Joshua Lane reacts then.
00:19:01But how will we get to Mia?
00:19:03I know that she always
00:19:04goes to this one spot
00:19:05alone.
00:19:06From what I know about her,
00:19:08she must be there right now.
00:19:09fall.
00:19:25Oh,
00:19:26economizer.
00:19:29Oh,
00:19:29oh,
00:19:30oh,
00:19:32oh,
00:19:32oh.
00:20:03Hey!
00:20:11Hey!
00:20:13Help!
00:20:22Thought you could get rid of us, Mia?
00:20:26You and Joshua will regret ever crossing us.
00:20:31Don't bring him into this, you bitch!
00:20:48That's for talking back to me.
00:20:50Look at you.
00:20:54Just as pathetic as the day you fell.
00:20:57Of course I could have saved you.
00:20:59But why would I?
00:21:01You and your baby are worth nothing.
00:21:04Joshua Lang?
00:21:12Listen up.
00:21:13We have Mia Gerber.
00:21:15You want her back?
00:21:16Get ready with a hefty ransom.
00:21:18I'll pay the ransom.
00:21:20But listen to me clearly.
00:21:21I will hunt you down in your wish you'd never cross me!
00:21:24Well, based on the footage from Mia's car camera, it seems Bradley and Catherine are behind this.
00:21:37These are the possible locations where Mia can be.
00:21:41This one.
00:21:42Mia.
00:21:54I caught you.
00:21:58Let's get you out.
00:22:00That's the way.
00:22:18Let's go.
00:22:20Let's go.
00:22:21Let's go.
00:22:23Just stop. It's not worth it.
00:22:45Other matters have occupied my brain.
00:22:53I know that's not an excuse to forget about you, but I guess that's just life someday.
00:23:14Made you some soup.
00:23:17It's very unique. What is this?
00:23:26My mom's recipe. Before she passed away, she used to make it for me when I was sick.
00:23:32Thought it might comfort you. Must have made it wrong.
00:23:35It's wonderful. I don't know how to thank you enough.
00:23:40It's nothing. I just did what I had to do.
00:23:47Joshua, is this still just a marriage of convenience for you?
00:23:53Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Lane. A guest has arrived. Her name is Susie Harper.
00:23:57Susie's back.
00:24:06Oh, I've missed you so much.
00:24:14Susie, it's been ages.
00:24:17When's the last time we saw each other?
00:24:18Um, four years ago, before I went abroad.
00:24:22It's been too long. Welcome back, Suze.
00:24:25I came back just for you.
00:24:28Oh, there's so much.
00:24:31Susie, this is my wife, Mia.
00:24:35Mia, this is Susie, an old friend of mine.
00:24:38So, you're the one Joshua had to marry.
00:24:41Oh, Susie, that's enough.
00:24:45Joshua and I have a special bond, you know?
00:24:48We've been friends since, like, forever.
00:24:52He means a lot to me. I want him to be happy.
00:24:55I think we all want that.
00:24:57Do you?
00:24:59Joshua and I talk often over the phone.
00:25:01He confides in me. I'm one of the few he truly trusts.
00:25:06He mentioned he was quite unhappy about the marriage.
00:25:08Right. Uh, well, it seems like you two have a lot to catch up on.
00:25:13So, I'll leave you to it.
00:25:20Susie, why would you say those things?
00:25:23I told you I have doubts before the wedding, not since then.
00:25:27Joshua, you're clearly unhappy. I was just speaking up for you.
00:25:32I don't need you to look out for me.
00:25:33I'm sorry. I just was trying to help, since you clearly didn't want the marriage.
00:25:45I don't mind enough.
00:25:47Do you like her?
00:25:49She's fine.
00:25:50This means I still have a chance.
00:25:55Joshua, if I had stayed by your side, you never would have had to marry a complete stranger like me and Gerber.
00:26:03I'm sure it hasn't been pleasant.
00:26:06Now that I'm back, you can always talk to me.
00:26:09Susie, you're a great friend.
00:26:11Of course.
00:26:12I'll always be there for you.
00:26:21How's it going?
00:26:24It's this marriage.
00:26:26It's Joshua. He's like a shadow. He's always there, but never really close.
00:26:33You deserve someone who can give you all the love and appreciation you need.
00:26:36Remember, if you ever need anything, I'm here.
00:26:42Thank you, Noah.
00:26:45How can I live without you?
00:26:50Then I can't live without you.
00:27:00How can I live without you?
00:27:16I'll do everything to protect you, Mia.
00:27:18Joshua!
00:27:33We can't be like this forever. We have to talk.
00:27:38Why don't you talk to Noah?
00:27:40Seems like you have plenty to say to him.
00:27:41I don't even know what that means.
00:27:43There's nothing between Noah and me.
00:27:45You and Susie, on the other hand.
00:27:48What?
00:27:49Whatever you think, I don't care.
00:28:07What's he doing here?
00:28:11Look, I'm here to deliver some documents to Mia.
00:28:15And if you ever hurt her, just know that I will protect her at all costs.
00:28:28And what exactly have you done to protect her?
00:28:31Seems like all talk but no action.
00:28:33What are you two doing?
00:28:37What's going on here? Joshua, why are you acting so rash?
00:28:40This is ridiculous.
00:28:41You invite him into our house just to talk to him?
00:28:43I didn't invite- Joshua!
00:28:46I'm sorry Mia, I didn't mean to cause any breath between you two.
00:28:49It wasn't my intention.
00:28:50It's fine.
00:28:51Why are you here?
00:28:52I'm here to protect you and the company.
00:28:55I suspect that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare.
00:29:01Is that Dwayne?
00:29:02I'm the CEO of Melody Healthcare.
00:29:09Miss Gerber, an emergency board meeting has been called.
00:29:12What?
00:29:12We need to talk about the leadership of this company.
00:29:23It is clear that Mia's recent decisions, well, they've been questionable.
00:29:28Acquiring Catherine Finney's hospital was a big misstep.
00:29:37Now Melody's healthcare is outpacing us.
00:29:40Mia, I'm sorry, but you're too young and inexperienced to be in this role.
00:29:45I believe under my leadership our profits have already increased by 20% compared to last year.
00:29:52That's due to the overall market trend, not because of your leadership.
00:29:58My strategies have been more than effective.
00:30:01The Finley acquisition has potential long-term benefits and our growth, by the way, is not just a fluke.
00:30:08This company, this board needs a leader with experience and vision, not someone learning on a job.
00:30:15As a senior VP on behalf of all the employees with Gerber Corporation, we support Mia.
00:30:21I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:30:27I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:30:36What is this? What are you doing?
00:30:38These are communications between Dwayne and Melody Healthcare.
00:30:41He leaked our strategy.
00:30:46You're fired, Dwayne. Effective immediately.
00:30:48I've been with you since you founded the company.
00:30:51All these years, I'm never the CEO, but you give it to your daughter?
00:30:54I've always known you were ambitious, but I never thought you would stoop this low.
00:30:59Your lack of trustworthiness is why you were never CEO.
00:31:03We built this company on integrity and trust. Values you clearly lack.
00:31:10Security, escort Mr. Kaiser out.
00:31:14Wait. Dick.
00:31:15Mia, we're so proud of you.
00:31:28You really handled the crisis well.
00:31:31You truly are a garber.
00:31:36Noah, I can't thank you enough.
00:31:38Of course. You know I'd do anything for you.
00:31:40You know, I never asked, but how did you get your hands on those documents?
00:31:46It all started with an anonymous tip.
00:31:49Someone delivered photos of Dwayne meeting with the owner of Melody Healthcare,
00:31:53and I intercepted the tip.
00:31:57This is your schedule for the week.
00:31:59And what's this?
00:32:01Seems to be about Mr. Kaiser.
00:32:03Okay, I'll take that too. Thanks.
00:32:15Anonymous.
00:32:17Who would do that?
00:32:18I don't know, but the photos led me to dig deeper,
00:32:22and eventually I found clear evidence of his betrayal.
00:32:26Can I see the photos?
00:32:33I think I might know who's behind this, but I need to confirm.
00:32:39Hey.
00:32:42Ethan, I need to talk to you about these photos.
00:32:45Is this you, in the reflection?
00:32:47Were you following Dwayne?
00:32:49Yeah, it's me.
00:32:50Joshua asked me to keep an eye on Dwayne.
00:32:52He's had his suspicions about Dwayne's loyalty for a while.
00:32:55We then delivered the photos.
00:32:58Mr. Lane, what a surprise.
00:33:00Should I tell Ms. Lane you're here?
00:33:04No need to.
00:33:09Why couldn't Joshua just tell me about his suspicions?
00:33:12Joshua is a...
00:33:14He's a complicated man.
00:33:16He means well, but he struggles with expressing himself.
00:33:19He's never gone through such steps for anyone before Mia.
00:33:21This must mean he cares about you.
00:33:25You could just talk to me next time.
00:33:27Well, Joshua has his ways.
00:33:29He might not show it, but he cares deeply.
00:33:33I just ask that you...
00:33:36Don't hurt him.
00:33:36I won't.
00:33:40You're a loyal friend, Ethan.
00:33:41Joshua, I need to talk to you.
00:33:51It's about Dwayne Kaiser and Melody Healthcare.
00:33:54What about it?
00:33:55I know you sent Ethan to follow Dwayne.
00:33:57Why didn't you just talk to me?
00:33:59It just seemed like the best course of action at the time.
00:34:01Joshua, is there more to this marriage than the alliance?
00:34:06Did you do it because...
00:34:07No, no.
00:34:08It's nothing like that.
00:34:09I just couldn't have my wife being voted out as CEO on paper.
00:34:13It looked bad for me.
00:34:14So it's all about appearances?
00:34:16Yes, Mia.
00:34:18It's all it ever is.
00:34:19We agreed to a business arrangement.
00:34:22Joshua, I'm so tired of this.
00:34:24Of living in a fantasy where I never actually get to know you.
00:34:28I'm more than just a tool for business advancement or keeping up appearances.
00:34:34Because I want a divorce.
00:34:40I want a divorce.
00:34:45Are you sure about this?
00:34:48I deserve something real in my life, Joshua.
00:34:51Not this facade.
00:34:54I deserve to be more than just a business arrangement in somebody's life.
00:34:58I want genuine happiness.
00:35:00I understand.
00:35:02If that's what you want.
00:35:08Joshua, please.
00:35:12Let's proceed with the divorce.
00:35:31Mia.
00:35:39Mia.
00:35:39What?
00:35:52Joshua.
00:35:53What are you doing to yourself?
00:35:54Mia.
00:35:56Mia.
00:35:56Mia.
00:35:56Mia.
00:35:57Mia.
00:35:57Mia.
00:35:57Don't leave.
00:35:58Don't leave.
00:35:58Don't leave.
00:35:59You're drunk.
00:36:01Please, help me take him to his car.
00:36:05No.
00:36:06I'll take him to my place.
00:36:07He shouldn't be alone.
00:36:10Okay.
00:36:12Let's go.
00:36:22Mia.
00:36:24Mia.
00:36:24Morning, Josh.
00:36:33Here.
00:36:34Drink this.
00:36:35You've had quite a night.
00:36:37Susie.
00:36:40Where am I?
00:36:41This is my apartment.
00:36:42Nothing bad happened.
00:36:45I also drove your car back here.
00:36:47How did I get here?
00:36:48You were really drunk.
00:36:51I didn't think you should be alone.
00:36:54Josh, what happened?
00:36:56It's over between me and Mia.
00:36:59We're getting a divorce.
00:37:06Maybe it was never meant to be.
00:37:08You deserve someone who understands and loves you.
00:37:21No, I can't do this, Susie.
00:37:24Why?
00:37:25I have always loved you.
00:37:28Now that you and me are getting a divorce, we can finally be together.
00:37:32Susie, you are a dear friend and like a little sister.
00:37:37It can't be anything more.
00:37:39I'm sorry.
00:37:42Do you really love that Mia Kerber?
00:37:49Yes, as a matter of fact, I do.
00:37:52I need to go tell her now.
00:38:02You are calling and you are ready to do an automatic quick message.
00:38:20You are calling and you are ready to do an automatic quick message.
00:38:24No, uh, hey.
00:38:39I've decided to divorce Joshua.
00:38:42Are you okay?
00:38:43I'm fine.
00:38:44It's just, it's for the best.
00:38:47There's something I need to tell you, not have to question.
00:38:50Sorry.
00:38:51It's the hospital.
00:38:52Hello?
00:38:53What?
00:38:55What happened?
00:38:56Is he okay?
00:38:59Okay, yeah, I'll be right there.
00:39:01What's wrong?
00:39:01It's Joshua.
00:39:02He's been in an accident.
00:39:11Excuse me, excuse me.
00:39:12I'm here for Joshua Lane.
00:39:13Joshua.
00:39:24Miss Kerber?
00:39:25Yeah.
00:39:25We found that Mr. Lane was attempting to call you when the accident occurred.
00:39:31It's all my fault.
00:39:32It was nobody's fault.
00:39:36It was an accident.
00:39:37But right now, he needs you.
00:39:40Do your best to help him wake up, will you?
00:39:45I won't leave you, Joshua.
00:39:50You remember that soup you made me?
00:39:53It meant the world to me.
00:39:54And whenever you get better, I'm going to make you that soup.
00:40:02Because I know it was your mom's recipe.
00:40:05I was those little moments with you.
00:40:06You know, whenever we would wake up and come out of our rooms and see each other in the morning.
00:40:13Sometimes that was the happiest part of my day.
00:40:26Please come back to me.
00:40:31This is all your fault, Mia.
00:40:34You drove him to this.
00:40:37You hurt him.
00:40:38And now, look what's happened to him.
00:40:47Mia, we have a problem.
00:40:50Eleanor and Alex are plotting to make Alex the new CEO while Joshua's in a coma.
00:40:54Now even Joshua's father has been convinced.
00:40:56So they're using Joshua's condition to their advantage.
00:40:59I won't stand for it.
00:41:01What's the plan?
00:41:02I'm meeting with Mr. Lange.
00:41:04He's a key shareholder of Lane Holdings.
00:41:06His voice can sway their opinion.
00:41:10Thank you for agreeing to meet me on such short notice, Mr. Lange.
00:41:14I've always been curious about the famous Mia Gerber.
00:41:16After all, she's the one who led Gerber Corporation to the next level.
00:41:20You're too kind.
00:41:21I'm merely stating a fact.
00:41:22Not everyone in the second generation is as capable as you.
00:41:26So, tell me, why do you want to see me?
00:41:29Is it about Alex being the new CEO?
00:41:33You're a wise man, Mr. Lange.
00:41:36Joshua's vision has been the driving force behind Lane Holdings.
00:41:40We cannot allow Alex to derail that.
00:41:42I can't do anything at this time.
00:41:45Joshua is out of commission.
00:41:47It's best to have someone lead the company.
00:41:50Gerald is not in good health after a stroke.
00:41:54Alex is the only choice.
00:41:55What if I told you there's another choice?
00:42:01And what if I told you there's another choice?
00:42:04I can be the interim CEO of Lane Holdings as Joshua's legal wife.
00:42:09I can uphold his legacy and, as you mentioned before, I'm a very capable CEO in my own right.
00:42:15Your vote, of course, is crucial.
00:42:18But more than anything, people trust your judgment.
00:42:22If you choose to have faith in me, others will follow.
00:42:25And I promise, I won't disappoint.
00:42:29Can you run two companies at the same time?
00:42:31I have a very capable team over at Gerber Corporation.
00:42:35They'll keep things running smoothly even if I'm not there full time.
00:42:38I'll devote my time to Lane Holdings until Joshua gets better.
00:42:41What if he doesn't?
00:42:44He will.
00:42:46I admire your tenacity.
00:42:48I'll do what I can.
00:42:50Thank you, Mr. Lane.
00:43:02I'll fight for you, Joshua.
00:43:13You did the same for me.
00:43:18I will let you down.
00:43:25Given Joshua's current condition, I propose Mia Gerber as the interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:43:32Mia Gerber?
00:43:34She's from a different company.
00:43:35How is she even qualified?
00:43:36Mia is Joshua's wife, the legal heir.
00:43:39She's proven her capabilities with Gerber Corporation.
00:43:42Combining the strengths of both companies and her leadership will only make Lane Holdings strong.
00:43:48This is absurd.
00:43:49Mia is practically a stranger to our company's operations.
00:43:54While I appreciate your concerns, I think my track record speaks for itself.
00:44:00And unlike Alex here, who has had his hand in multiple questionable business dealings,
00:44:06I offer a clean slate and a fresh perspective.
00:44:09I agree with Mr. Lange.
00:44:11Mia's appointment as interim CEO is the best course of action for now.
00:44:16But that...
00:44:17Stop, Alex.
00:44:24Joshua, I hope you're proud.
00:44:29Let's go.
00:44:30You ain't gonna take over, no consequences, Mia?
00:44:34I'm gonna make her pay.
00:44:38Won't be touching her.
00:44:40Who the fuck are you?
00:44:46Damn it!
00:44:47She's caught!
00:44:48Take care of me!
00:44:57See the security camera?
00:44:59I'm gonna get the footage.
00:45:00And if you ever try and hurt me again, I'll call the police.
00:45:03You'll never become a CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:45:06Ever!
00:45:07God damn it!
00:45:18Thanks.
00:45:18Noah, what happened?
00:45:28Don't worry, I'm fine.
00:45:30You're not fine, you're bleeding.
00:45:33Are you okay?
00:45:40Thanks, but the reason I came over was I wanted to finish our conversation from before.
00:45:45Mrs. Lane.
00:45:46It's Mr. Lane.
00:45:47He's waking up from the coma.
00:45:52I have to go to the hospital.
00:45:53I'm sorry.
00:45:53Well, I just want to tell you something.
00:45:55No, no, nothing's more important than Joshua right now.
00:45:57Joshua, Joshua, Joshua.
00:46:03It's fucking Joshua, huh?
00:46:09When you wake up, we can be together.
00:46:13Mia doesn't deserve you.
00:46:16But you and I, we are meant to be.
00:46:20Mia.
00:46:26Joshua, you're awake.
00:46:29Mia.
00:46:32Excuse me, miss.
00:46:35Mr. Lane?
00:46:38Mr. Lane.
00:46:39Mia.
00:46:41Can you hear me, sir?
00:46:42Mia.
00:46:43Call his wife, Mia Gerber, immediately.
00:46:46Mr. Lane, I need you to concentrate for me.
00:46:48Do you remember what day it is?
00:46:50Mia.
00:46:51Yes, we're getting your wife right now, sir.
00:46:58Joshua.
00:47:00I'm sorry, this is all my fault.
00:47:01No, Mia.
00:47:03Don't blame yourself.
00:47:05It's a price I was willing to pay.
00:47:07You got hurt because of me.
00:47:09Mia, listen to me.
00:47:14I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused you.
00:47:18For not being honest about my feelings.
00:47:20I'm afraid to admit it, even to myself.
00:47:26I can't hide it anymore.
00:47:28I love you, Mia.
00:47:31I never thought I'd hear you say those words.
00:47:33I should have said them sooner.
00:47:38I love you too, Joshua.
00:47:39I love you too.
00:47:49I love you too.
00:47:51I love you too.
00:47:55Noah Bellaney, drinking alone?
00:48:09What do you want, Dwayne?
00:48:10Just to talk.
00:48:12You are underappreciated, Noah.
00:48:16Maybe we could help each other out.
00:48:20Did you, Joshua Lang, take Mia Gerber for your lawfully wedded wife?
00:48:25I do.
00:48:28And you, Mia Gerber, do you take Joshua Lang for your lawfully wedded husband?
00:48:33You may now kiss the bride.
00:48:43Bradley, I'm pregnant.
00:48:45You're going to be your father.
00:48:48What's she doing here?
00:48:50What do you think?
00:48:51No need to hide anymore.
00:48:53I'm leaving you.
00:48:55For Catherine.
00:48:56Unlike you, I'm young and rich.
00:48:59I can give Bradley what he deserves.
00:49:01Catherine hired me to be vice president to her family's hospital.
00:49:04She's also way better in bed.
00:49:06What's that?
00:49:06She must be faking it to trap you.
00:49:18No experience.
00:49:19I'm so desperate.
00:49:21Give it back.
00:49:22Stop.
00:49:22Give it back.
00:49:23Bye.
00:49:24Bye.
00:49:24Bye.
00:49:41Harry.
00:49:41What happened?
00:49:45The baby.
00:49:47Is the baby okay?
00:49:47I'm so sorry
00:49:52We've lost the baby
00:49:56I'm so sorry
00:50:00We're right here, sweetheart
00:50:06We're right here
00:50:15I won't let Bradley
00:50:17And that woman
00:50:18Get away with this
00:50:20I'm ready to come back, Tom
00:50:22Well, revenge won't heal the heart
00:50:24This isn't about revenge
00:50:26This is about holding them accountable
00:50:27Are you sure you're ready for this?
00:50:30I've been preparing for years, Mom
00:50:32Okay
00:50:33But
00:50:34There is a condition
00:50:36I have an important announcement
00:50:42My daughter, Mia Gerber
00:50:44Will be the new CEO of Gerber Corporation
00:50:47Is Mia ready for such a big role?
00:50:49I've been concealing my identity
00:50:50To go undercover within the industry
00:50:52I've learned our competitors from the inside
00:50:55Trust me
00:50:56I'm more than ready
00:50:59Furthermore, Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings
00:51:05And this alliance
00:51:07Will strengthen our company
00:51:10And secure our future
00:51:11Isn't Joshua Lane famous for being called the new Ruffles?
00:51:23That's what I heard
00:51:24But
00:51:24I think it'll be good for the company
00:51:26I don't think it'll be good for the new CEO
00:51:28Joshua has always been so distant with people
00:51:52Unlike Alex here
00:51:54Who's so popular and charismatic
00:51:56You're just the other woman
00:51:59That can't stop chasing
00:52:00Well
00:52:02At least I don't have to worry
00:52:04If Alex can give me a grandson
00:52:06But I wonder
00:52:07Joshua
00:52:08If you can even
00:52:10Warm up enough
00:52:11To give me a child
00:52:13We need an heir after all
00:52:14Eleanor
00:52:15That's enough
00:52:17I'm just saying
00:52:19Perhaps Alex is a better fit
00:52:22To leave Lane Holdings
00:52:23Quite the contrary
00:52:24Actually
00:52:26Joshua's very passionate
00:52:28Especially in the bedroom
00:52:30No doubt that you'll have that

00:52:37Let's get one thing straight, Mia
00:52:40This marriage is a show for our family
00:52:43And the rest of the world
00:52:44Don't expect any affection from me
00:52:46Understood
00:52:47And vice versa
00:52:49My parents want to set up a dinner with us
00:53:07My assistant will set it up
00:53:08She can coordinate schedules with my assistant

00:53:11Joshua has always been so
00:53:22Distant with people
00:53:24Unlike Alex here

00:54:37Noah, hey
00:54:42I need a favor
00:54:44I have evidence of Alex's scheme against you
00:54:50But don't worry
00:54:52I've already taken care of it
00:54:53I always knew Eleanor and Alex to be after my position
00:54:57I just didn't expect Alex to be this bold
00:55:00How do you know about this?
00:55:03Alex struck me as opportunistic
00:55:04A smear campaign is the easiest way to sway the shareholders opinion
00:55:07And Eleanor's background in PR made this move predictable
00:55:11You're more perceptive than I thought
00:55:13Why are you helping me?
00:55:16Our family's alliance is crucial
00:55:20Protecting you means protecting the Gerber Corporation
00:55:23It's all business
00:55:25Business, right?
00:55:30Well in that case I should help you with your beef with Catherine and Bradley, right?
00:55:36How did you know about that?
00:55:39Didn't expect me to enter into the marriage without doing background checks
00:55:42I just don't get what the big deal about your ex is
00:55:45I mean
00:55:45He cheated on you
00:55:47So what?
00:55:50She must be faking it to trap you
00:55:53How dare you?
00:55:57You had no right to dig into my past like that
00:56:00I can take care of myself
00:56:02What just happened?
00:56:10I want to know what happened to Mia during that gap
00:56:12After the breakup
00:56:13Mia helped me
00:56:15But unless I understand that part of the puzzle
00:56:17I won't be able to return her fate
00:56:19Do you care for her?
00:56:23Don't dislike her?
00:56:25Now Mia deserves someone who truly loves her
00:56:28Not you
00:56:29She's a grown woman
00:56:31She knows what she wants
00:56:33Nobody needs to tell her what she deserves
00:56:35Especially not you
00:56:36You can choose not to share the information
00:56:46But you won't be helping her
00:56:48Your choice
00:56:51Alright, look
00:56:55If you have to know
00:56:58Unfortunately
00:56:59Me had a miscarriage
00:57:02Because of an accident involving Bradley and Catherine
00:57:05How are you
00:57:18Feeling?
00:57:21It's none of your business
00:57:22Not that you would know what that means
00:57:25I'm sorry for overstepping
00:57:27And being insensitive
00:57:29I learned about your miscarriage
00:57:31I had no idea
00:57:32You didn't know?
00:57:35That doesn't excuse my behavior
00:57:36I apologize
00:57:38I may have overreacted
00:57:41You were hurting
00:57:42That's understandable
00:57:43So you're not a robot
00:57:45Like everyone says you are
00:57:47Of course I'm not
00:57:48Who says that?
00:57:49Everyone
00:57:50Your family
00:57:52Your friends
00:57:52Your co-workers

00:57:58Fire them all
00:58:00No, no
00:58:01No, it's
00:58:02It's okay
00:58:03They're allowed to joke
00:58:05They've been doing a wonderful job
00:58:06Besides
00:58:08I think you should
00:58:09Talk like this
00:58:10It suits you
00:58:12It's not funny
00:58:14I
00:58:16It's late

00:58:23Good night

00:58:33Go ahead with plan
00:58:46Short the stock of Catherine's company
00:58:48I want to see them bleed
00:58:51Mia
00:58:58You need to see this
00:58:59The stock of Catherine's hospital
00:59:01Has been shortened dramatically
00:59:02They're on the verge of bankruptcy
00:59:04Just a week?
00:59:05How is this possible?
00:59:07Seems like a coordinated attack
00:59:08Someone powerful is behind this
00:59:10Joshua
00:59:14Did you short Catherine's stock?
00:59:22Yes, I did
00:59:22Why?
00:59:24Strictly for business
00:59:25To protect our family's alliances
00:59:27Your enemies are my enemies now
00:59:29Thank you, Joshua
00:59:30That's what's necessary

01:00:20You know
01:00:20We've been friends since like forever
01:00:22He means a lot to me
01:00:26I want him to be happy
01:00:27I think we all love that

01:00:31Joshua and I talk often over the phone
01:00:33He confides in me
01:00:35I'm one of the few he truly trusts
01:00:37He mentioned he was quite unhappy
01:00:39About the marriage
01:00:41Right, uh
01:00:43Well, it seems like you two have a lot
01:00:44To catch up on
01:00:45So
01:00:45I'll leave you to it
01:00:47How's it going?

01:01:46We can't be like this forever
01:01:50We have to talk
01:01:51Why don't you talk to Noah?
01:01:55Seems like you have plenty to say to him
01:01:57I don't even know what that means

01:09:55you should see all the women that can't stop chasing
01:09:59well, at least I don't have to worry if Alex can give me a grandson

01:10:12we need an heir after all

01:10:15that's enough
01:10:16I'm just saying
01:10:18perhaps Alex is a better fit to leave Lane Holden
01:10:22Quite the contrary, actually.
01:10:26Josh was very passionate, especially in the bedroom.
01:10:29No doubt that you'll have that air soon.
01:10:38For your information, passion is not in my DNA,
01:10:42nor does it align with my personal brand.
01:10:45But still, thank you for standing up for me.
01:10:49I just didn't appreciate your stepmom's attitude.
01:11:00Get the campaign ready.
01:11:02I want that jerk out, Asa.
01:11:08Noah, hey.
01:11:10I need a favor.
01:11:14You're right.
01:11:16Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua.
01:11:19Blue Diamond PR is already involved.
01:11:22What agency are we using?
01:11:24We're still deciding.
01:11:25Bids are open for this year's contract.
01:11:28Perfect.
01:11:30I have a plan.
01:11:34I'm offering the Gerber Corporation's annual PR budget.
01:11:37It's one of the largest in the industry.
01:11:40That's an enticing offer, Ms. Gerber.
01:11:42What do you ask of me in return?
01:11:45I need you to withdraw from any campaign against Joshua Lane.
01:11:49I don't mind.
01:11:50I'll cover the cancellation fee.
01:11:51You have a deal.
01:11:59The Gerber Corporation account is too good to pass up.
01:12:03There's a little more.
01:12:05I need you to spread the word.
01:12:07Any PR firm that goes against Joshua Lane
01:12:10will be blacklisted from the Gerber Corporation
01:12:12and our allies.
01:12:14You got it.
01:12:15No one in this industry would be stupid enough
01:12:18to fight against the Gerber Corporation.
01:12:21Wonderful.
01:12:22Okay.
01:12:23Looking forward to a fruitful partnership.
01:12:26I have evidence of Alex's scheme against y'all.
01:12:33But don't worry, I've already taken care of it.
01:12:37I always knew Eleanor and Alex to be after my position.
01:12:40I just didn't expect Alex to be this bold.
01:12:44How do you know about this?
01:12:45Alex struck me as opportunistic.
01:12:47A smear campaign is the easiest way
01:12:48to sway the shareholders' opinion,
01:12:50and Eleanor's background in PR
01:12:52made this move predictable.
01:12:54You're more perceptive than I thought.
01:12:56Why are you helping me?
01:13:01Our family's alliance is crucial.
01:13:04Protecting you means protecting the Gerber Corporation.
01:13:07It's all business.
01:13:10Business, right?
01:13:12Well, in that case,
01:13:13I should help you with your beef
01:13:14with Catherine and Bradley, right?
01:13:18How did you know about that?
01:13:21You didn't expect me to enter into the marriage
01:13:23without doing background checks.
01:13:24I just don't get what the big deal about your ex is.
01:13:27I mean,
01:13:28he cheated on you.
01:13:29So what?
01:13:33She must be faking it to trap you.
01:13:35How dare you?
01:13:39You had no right
01:13:41to dig into my past like that.
01:13:43I can take care of myself.
01:13:48What just happened?
01:13:52To your new position
01:13:54as Senior VP.
01:13:56And it's all thanks to my help,
01:13:59of course.
01:14:00Absolutely.
01:14:01You're my lucky charm, honey.
01:14:02Maybe.
01:14:07Imagine if I'd stayed with Mia.
01:14:10Poor and powerless.
01:14:11That's all she ever was.
01:14:12She's a joke.
01:14:14A stepping stone at best.
01:14:16You're by my side.
01:14:17We are unstoppable.
01:14:30Catherine's hospital
01:14:31is resisting our acquisition.
01:14:33Bradley,
01:14:33as the new Senior VP,
01:14:35is reading the pushback.
01:14:37Do they know I'm the CEO yet?
01:14:38No.
01:14:39Ask for your request.
01:14:40Perfect.
01:14:41Keep at it.
01:14:42Now, how do I pull this off?
01:14:57There are gaps
01:14:58in Mia's medical record
01:15:00right after her breakup.
01:15:01These are from
01:15:02the Gerber Corporation's
01:15:03own hospital.
01:15:04Only someone higher up
01:15:05from within can access it.
