00:00:00Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:10What the hell is going on here?
00:00:13Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:16Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do.
00:00:21Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:25They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:29Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:35Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunchtime.
00:00:45Hey, this is a private agency.
00:00:47Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:00:50Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.
00:00:58But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
00:01:06Do I know you?
00:01:09Wait, what are you doing?
00:01:13What are you doing?
00:01:14You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.
00:01:16You can't be messing with the company funds.
00:01:18This is incredible.
00:01:20What's going on?
00:01:22The turning is him. It's failing. The price is holding.
00:01:27Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:34We met before.
00:01:35They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:38Hold on.
00:01:39Tell me.
00:01:40How could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:43If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:52Jason, can we have five now?
00:02:10Mr. Yates.
00:02:12What, only two bodyguards this time?
00:02:14You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:17No, ma'am. I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:02:21Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:26Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:30Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:35Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:42Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:46Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:02:51Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house. For my sake.
00:03:05Ma'am, divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:16Why?
00:03:18You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:20The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now.
00:03:23Especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:03:26The Shepherd Group.
00:03:28And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:03:30The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time. I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:38I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:41You, a cleaning woman, handing out million-dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.
00:03:50I did! It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:53I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:58What are you doing here?
00:04:00Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:04Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:07Local royalty? A 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?
00:04:21What'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.
00:04:33We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:36Growing apart?
00:04:38No.
00:04:40No, I won't sign any agreement then.
00:04:46I won't sign.
00:04:47Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:52Ben?
00:04:54Alright. Here.
00:04:56$100,000. Open up a small shop or something else.
00:05:00$100,000?
00:05:02I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:07Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:10Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:12You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:15This is our active charity tool.
00:05:17Here. A million dollars. Take this.
00:05:20You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:21Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:25I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.
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.
00:05:42You already make this house stink.
00:05:43Think how she's gone.
00:05:53Go to riddance to her.
00:05:57Sir?
00:05:59Laura Lewis' information.
00:06:03She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:06:06No wonder why she wanted us to partner.
00:06:08Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:10The person?
00:06:13Wait a minute.
00:06:15Don't you remember?
00:06:17She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:21Yeah. She saved our hiding now. Remember?
00:06:25Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a $100 million contract?
00:06:31I don't know.
00:06:33Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:06:35Hey!
00:06:38What are you doing? Let go of me!
00:06:40You attacked Amber!
00:06:42Apologize this instant!
00:06:46Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:48We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:06:50You refused it.
00:06:51And now you're stealing.
00:06:53She couldn't afford it.
00:06:55You're a thief!
00:06:56That's mine! Give it back!
00:07:04Wait!
00:07:06That's enough!
00:07:08Laura?
00:07:10I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:13It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:19You see, it's...
00:07:20Who are you, Boris New Squeeze?
00:07:23Excuse me. Do you know who I am?
00:07:25Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:07:29Shame on you!
00:07:30Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:32For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:07:35I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:37Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:41You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:44That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:48That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that. My ring.
00:07:53Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:07:55Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:59Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.
00:08:02Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man or have you been sneaking around?
00:08:07It's all right, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:08:10All rabbed dead bodies.
00:08:12You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.
00:08:14We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:18Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:08:21I go back.
00:08:22What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:08:25That's a lie!
00:08:26Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura! You come back here and explain yourself!
00:08:30Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!
00:08:32Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:40Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:45I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:48After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:51No! Um...
00:08:54No, the event will proceed.
00:08:57Besides, I'll be there.
00:09:02There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:05Who are you, truly?
00:09:07You'll find out.
00:09:09Mr. Shepard.
00:09:11Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:13Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners and we're going to have a meeting.
00:09:26An investment meeting.
00:09:27One week from today.
00:09:30Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:35Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:40Oh, excellent, Miss Lewis.
00:09:42I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:45Ben, Harrison...
00:09:48You're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:58After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:03Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:07Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:08Security?
00:10:10Get that woman out of here.
00:10:12We don't need cleaners at this event.
00:10:14Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:16This is a business event, after all.
00:10:18Business?
00:10:20You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:10:22A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:10:25Just get out.
00:10:27Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:30You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:32Oh, Ben.
00:10:33Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:35Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:39Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:41You don't belong here.
00:10:43Just get out!
00:10:49That's what you get.
00:10:50This contract is mine to give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:02Don't be ridiculous. This is insane.
00:11:04Who do you think you are?
00:11:06Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:08Security? She's lost a mind. This is a disaster!
00:11:11Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:41You really think ripping up that contract is going to help? You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:50Oh, please, honey. You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:54Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:57I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:12:01And after careful consideration, I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:12:09You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:12:14You have no authority here.
00:12:15Of course she has the authority.
00:12:24That's the man that Laura went with the other day. What is he doing here?
00:12:27Mr. Shepard? How does he know her?
00:12:30Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:32Laura, are you alright?
00:12:36Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman. There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:41There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:42This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.
00:12:47Effective immediately.
00:12:51Wait a minute. This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:54It's her. She ruined the contract.
00:12:57You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:59An affair? She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:13:04Mom, please, it's okay. This man is...
00:13:07Don't touch me. That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone.
00:13:10Has an affair and you just stand there?
00:13:13You're a disgrace.
00:13:14An adulterer.
00:13:15You deserve to be ar-
00:13:16Shut up!
00:13:20Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess.
00:13:23But I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:13:26Tricked?
00:13:28Why don't you answer a question yourself, then?
00:13:32What was my name before we got married?
00:13:36Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:38Lewis Group? The Financial Giants?
00:13:41There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:44What?
00:13:46That's crazy.
00:13:47There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:50That's absurd.
00:13:52It's...
00:13:53It's...
00:13:54It's absurd!
00:13:56A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:13:59Yeah, it's a lie.
00:14:00It's a lie.
00:14:01This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:14:03In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:14:05She's nothing special. She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:10I was just a waitress.
00:14:13How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:15First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.
00:14:19Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:14:20When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:24Now look at me.
00:14:25I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:27And look at her.
00:14:28Still just declared.
00:14:30Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:34She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:36She's lying, Mr. Shepard.
00:14:38She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:43Let's make something clear.
00:14:46I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:50I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:56Don't lie.
00:14:58You were never good enough for Ben when you married him. Oops.
00:15:01That roof was built with lies.
00:15:04Kathy, you never respected me.
00:15:07And Ben?
00:15:08Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:12And the cheating.
00:15:14I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:15:16You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:15:22If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy.
00:15:28Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:32From everything.
00:15:33Everything.
00:15:37Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:15:38Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:41And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:43I don't think so.
00:15:44You're a cleaner.
00:15:45You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:47Nobody cares about you.
00:15:49Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:52I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
00:16:02I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:16:05I think all jobs are important.
00:16:06Right, Mom?
00:16:08Ben, what are you doing?
00:16:10But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:16:15A janitor?
00:16:16Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:25You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:30Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:16:33This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:38I... but, well...
00:16:39A lie, you say?
00:16:41Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:16:44But I don't recognize you.
00:16:47Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:51Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:54This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:58But, the contract...
00:17:00I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:17:02So, can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:06Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:09Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis' involvement.
00:17:12I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:17Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:22Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:26Miss Smith, you lied to us! You destroyed everything!
00:17:30What? No, it's a misunderstanding! I can explain!
00:17:36Lewis? Lewis Family Group? This can't be!
00:17:40Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:43Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:49Three of our Vice Presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:54And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:17:58Everyone, listen to me!
00:18:04Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
00:18:08A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:14The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:17Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:19Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:30Help!
00:18:33Mom!
00:18:34Someone get a doctor!
00:18:35Mom!
00:18:36It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:42Indeed.
00:18:43Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:57What? What now?
00:18:59Mom, this is not all on me!
00:19:02Not on you! I was trying to help!
00:19:05She cheated on you with Shepard! Flaunted their affair!
00:19:08Exactly!
00:19:10And those dresses?
00:19:12Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:19:15Miss Smith, how could you do this?
00:19:17We trusted you completely!
00:19:19No, no!
00:19:21I'd got Ben the deal!
00:19:23I had no idea Shepard would fall for Bora!
00:19:26She's a liar!
00:19:28Stop it, Amber!
00:19:29You lied to us just as much as she did!
00:19:32Lied?
00:19:33You're on my side!
00:19:35And anyways, I had a plan.
00:19:36The Shepards are no one special!
00:19:39We can expose Laura in all her lies!
00:19:42Go national!
00:19:43We can make ourselves a household name!
00:19:47Now, if you'll excuse me,
00:19:49I have a very important phone call to you.
00:19:56Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:19:59Thank you as well for standing up with her.
00:20:02It's alright, Laura.
00:20:03You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:20:05Can I ask you something?
00:20:07Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:20:09Maybe a hotel?
00:20:10Don't...
00:20:11Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:12I'll be fine.
00:20:14Excuse me, you can just drop me off.
00:20:16Actually, Laura...
00:20:17Actually, Laura...
00:20:19There is something else.
00:20:21Would you consider to go out for dinner sometime?
00:20:23Just casually, of course.
00:20:25Mr. Shepard, are...
00:20:27Are you asking me out?
00:20:28No.
00:20:29Please, call me Brian.
00:20:31And...
00:20:32Yes.
00:20:34Technically, you're single now.
00:20:36Yes.
00:20:38That may be true, but...
00:20:40Going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly...
00:20:45Proper.
00:20:47Proper.
00:20:49Laura.
00:20:51I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:20:53Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:20:57Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:21:01So what do you say?
00:21:03Dinner?
00:21:05Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:07I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:21:12I actually have another appointment tonight, so I...
00:21:16Wait, Laura...
00:21:17Just here is fine.
00:21:21Laura?
00:21:27Laura!
00:21:28Who is it?
00:21:29Laura, wait!
00:21:31Jason.
00:21:32Find out who owns that car.
00:21:34And do it fast.
00:21:37Iain Lewis.
00:21:43Who is this?
00:21:45It's Amber Smith.
00:21:47Mr. Lewis?
00:21:49I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:53I don't know who you are, Miss Smith.
00:21:56How did you get this number?
00:21:58Don't worry about that right now.
00:22:00I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:22:03Someone I know very well.
00:22:05Impersonating my niece.
00:22:08And where is this fake Laura?
00:22:12Right here in Maplewood.
00:22:14And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:17Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:22:21And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:22:24In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:22:30I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:22:33All will be revealed then.
00:22:35Very well.
00:22:37I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.
00:22:40But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:22:43It won't be.
00:22:44Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:22:46Thank you, Mr.
00:22:52That little rascal, Laura.
00:22:56I wonder what she's up to now.
00:22:58That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family butler.
00:23:05Oh.
00:23:07The Lewis family?
00:23:09That's interesting.
00:23:11Could you be connected to them somehow?
00:23:14I'm not sure.
00:23:16Brian!
00:23:18There you are.
00:23:20I've missed you.
00:23:21Chloe.
00:23:23What are you up to?
00:23:25Chloe, what are you doing here?
00:23:27What do you mean?
00:23:29Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:31We ended things for a reason.
00:23:33It was just one teensy mistake.
00:23:36I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:38Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:40Teensy mistake, you said?
00:23:42You cheated on me.
00:23:46Is this your new fling?
00:23:49Ex-divorcey.
00:23:51Used a clean floor.
00:23:52It's quite the catch, you say.
00:23:55Look, my relationship with her is none of your business.
00:23:59And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:24:02Please.
00:24:04An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:24:08It's a classic story.
00:24:09That's enough.
00:24:11I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:24:13You want to be careful, Brian.
00:24:15Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:18If you want Shepherd Group to stay afloat,
00:24:21you ought to be more careful.
00:24:26Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:28This is it.
00:24:29The Lewis Group vice presidents are on the top floor.
00:24:39Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:44I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:46Well, well, well.
00:24:49Look who it is.
00:24:51What a surprise.
00:24:53Did Brian teach you already?
00:24:55That's none of your business.
00:24:58Now move aside, please.
00:24:59Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
00:25:03You really think you can just ruin my events again?
00:25:05Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:25:06Don't you have any shame?
00:25:07If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:25:12Oh, the nurse.
00:25:14After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?
00:25:18Seriously?
00:25:20I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:23Oh, that's gold.
00:25:25You really think that they're gonna let you in, Laura?
00:25:28Please, you're no one compared to me.
00:25:30You don't deserve to be here.
00:25:32The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:25:37And you, idiot, believing every lie that she tells you.
00:25:41Wake up, Ben.
00:25:43Oh, Laura!
00:25:45Laura, come on, why do you always pull this on me?
00:25:47I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:25:51I know what this is.
00:25:53So stupid.
00:25:55Oh, such a trap!
00:25:57Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:25:59He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:26:03Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Loose Group.
00:26:07And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:26:10Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this.
00:26:17Oh, that's rich.
00:26:18You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.
00:26:23I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Loose Group.
00:26:30Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?
00:26:33You mean my uncle?
00:26:36Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:38Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:26:43And besides, this looks fake. She's a liar.
00:26:47This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:53It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.
00:26:58She's lying. They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:27:01Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?
00:27:05Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?
00:27:09Not that I know of.
00:27:11See? She's lying.
00:27:13There you have it, Laura. Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:27:17Go on, get lost before things get worse.
00:27:22Here, take this one. Lead me to the vice presidents.
00:27:26You have no idea what you just did.
00:27:29There will be consequences.
00:27:34Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,
00:27:40why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?
00:27:45Security! Security! We need this woman removed immediately.
00:27:48She is harassing me. We're done with your games, Laura.
00:27:51You're just a fraud.
00:27:52Man, please move me.
00:27:53What?
00:27:54Hold on!
00:27:55I'm sorry.
00:27:58Brian Shepard?
00:28:00You think money buys you the right to walk all over people? Well, it doesn't.
00:28:04Yeah. Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?
00:28:07What other plans do you have to destroy this town?
00:28:10Get you out? After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.
00:28:13Don't play dumb. We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:28:17How long has this little affair been going on?
00:28:20You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.
00:28:23Hold on a second. An affair?
00:28:26You think Laura and I?
00:28:28You people are unbelievable.
00:28:32Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP. We have a situation.
00:28:36What, you think you can just boss the manager around now? Is that it?
00:28:40Well, stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:42Ms. Lewis, apologies for the delay. How can I help you this evening?
00:28:46Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:50It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:53These people don't think that I belong here.
00:28:56Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:59A cleaner? Nonsense.
00:29:01I personally agreed to Ms. Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:29:04Exactly.
00:29:07Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:14I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:29:17No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.
00:29:22She's been this way since my son divorced her. She's insane.
00:29:25Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.
00:29:29She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.
00:29:32No! It's a lie! Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too!
00:29:38You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.
00:29:47Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?
00:29:50Wait! Is that why you're covering for her? Huh? Because of the affair? Because she slept with you?
00:29:55Excuse me!
00:29:56Of course!
00:29:57Who are you and how dare you speak to Ms. Lewis that way?
00:29:59Enough of this!
00:30:00That's enough!
00:30:01Have you embarrassed yourself enough?
00:30:03This is Lewis Group property!
00:30:05Behave or I'll call security!
00:30:07But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access!
00:30:11She shouldn't be here.
00:30:12Since you're having trouble understanding them, let me make it clear.
00:30:17This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.
00:30:21It's mine.
00:30:23To come or go as I please.
00:30:25Thank you for stepping in, Brian. I owe you one. We'll talk about this later.
00:30:35Well, it seems that divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Rivers.
00:30:40Come in!
00:30:41Excuse me, Vice Presidents. I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.
00:30:57I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today?
00:31:00Maplewood Branch. Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Ms. Smith.
00:31:07Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:31:11Ian Lewis... Mr. Lewis reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:31:20Expansion plans? Ms. Smith?
00:31:23A decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:31:27And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.
00:31:32But Ian Lewis assured me that...
00:31:34Ms. Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.
00:31:38Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff?
00:31:41Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...
00:31:43Ms. Smith, we'd like you to leave. If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:52Hey, stop there. This elevator is for VIP only. Back, please.
00:31:57Of course. My apologies.
00:32:06Laura?
00:32:09Vice Presidents! It's so good to see all of you again.
00:32:14Ms. Lewis, it's been too long.
00:32:16Your return is a lifesaver, Ms. Lewis. The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:32:25The board are begging you to come back, Ms. Lewis.
00:32:30Well, please sit. Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.
00:32:37We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.
00:32:42Local powerhouses and smaller players, too. They'll all be there in one spot.
00:32:47Ms. Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith. She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.
00:33:00She said that. Did she? Well, Ms. Smith is a liar. There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:33:07She lied so blatantly. It was unbelievable.
00:33:09Bob, don't worry. I found a much more suitable partner.
00:33:16Shepard Group.
00:33:18Shepard Group? Their rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:33:22Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:25So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:33:28Amber Smith.
00:33:29Oh, don't worry about Amber. I've got plans for her.
00:33:38Ms. Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the legend from us.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:48Cheers.
00:33:58No, I'm not leaving. What are you talking about? No, come on.
00:34:01Wait! I'm Amber Smith. I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch. What are you doing? These are my guests.
00:34:06Yeah, that's right. Tell them who we are.
00:34:08Yes, we were waiting for Ms. Smith.
00:34:12Lewis Group Maplewood branch? No such thing, ma'am. And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:34:17Oh, of course. Laura. She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.
00:34:23That's how she gets away with everything.
00:34:24You underestimate her, Cathy. She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.
00:34:29No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:34:33Careful with your words. Both of you. Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:41Look who can't even get into a meeting, whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.
00:34:46And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:34:50Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:34:52Use me? Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:57You're so stupid. She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:35:01Don't worry, Brian. You deserve better. And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group, appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:35:12New branch manager, huh? Interesting.
00:35:17Laura Lewis? What are you doing here? Get out of here!
00:35:20You claim to be the mystery guest.
00:35:23Don't play games, Laura. I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:35:30Only the top companies get those. Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:35:33Is that so?
00:35:34Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:35:40You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.
00:35:46And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:35:48Escort them out. Their visit is over.
00:35:54Oh, come on. This way, please.
00:35:57I'm not leaving.
00:35:59Move. We're not leaving again. Move.
00:36:01Oh, no, no, no. We're not going now.
00:36:04This isn't over, Laura. You'll see.
00:36:06Thanks for waiting, bud.
00:36:12Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:16And thank you for defending me. I really appreciate it.
00:36:24Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:28Yes, but it's going to be tricky.
00:36:31Why? I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:36:40Yes, Laura.
00:36:43There's something you should know.
00:36:46Is this about Ben?
00:36:50Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.
00:36:53He won't even get past security.
00:36:56Laura, it's not Ben.
00:36:59It's someone else.
00:37:02Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:37:07Yes.
00:37:09Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:37:12She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:37:16She's my ex-fiancee.
00:37:19And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:37:23And let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:37:30And for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.
00:37:36And you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting?
00:37:42For...
00:37:43For...
00:37:47Out of...
00:37:48Jealousy?
00:37:50There's a possibility.
00:37:51She's kind of jealous.
00:37:54Well...
00:37:56All the more reason for you to be there.
00:37:59So...
00:38:01I'll be there too.
00:38:05Laura...
00:38:08Would you consider being my guest at the meeting?
00:38:11What?
00:38:13Are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too?
00:38:16Maybe a little.
00:38:18But mostly...
00:38:19I want to show them we are deemed.
00:38:21Well...
00:38:22It's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.
00:38:27Laura...
00:38:32I don't care about your best.
00:38:34I just want to be by your side.
00:38:37I think I'm falling for you.
00:38:42Ryan...
00:38:43I...
00:38:48I...
00:38:49I appreciate...
00:38:50Your honesty and...
00:38:52Right now...
00:38:53I...
00:38:54I'm just not...
00:38:55I...
00:38:56I just don't really have romance...
00:38:57On my mind...
00:38:58Right now...
00:38:59Just...
00:39:00With...
00:39:01With everything going on...
00:39:02And...
00:39:03Going on and...
00:39:04It's okay.
00:39:05I just want to be upfront.
00:39:07And if Chloe tries anything...
00:39:10You won't face her alone.
00:39:14There's just...
00:39:16One thing...
00:39:17I do need.
00:39:19What is it?
00:39:21A formal dress.
00:39:34Uh...
00:39:35Security!
00:39:36She doesn't belong here.
00:39:37This is a private store.
00:39:38Excuse me.
00:39:40We...
00:39:41Need some assistance.
00:39:42I'm looking for...
00:39:43A very particular dress.
00:39:48Wow.
00:39:49It's...
00:39:50Beautiful.
00:39:51It is.
00:39:52I'll try this one on.
00:39:53Uh...
00:39:54Don't bother with her.
00:39:55She can't afford anything here.
00:39:56She's just a cleaner.
00:39:57She doesn't deserve to shop you.
00:39:59She has no money.
00:40:03Yeah, exactly.
00:40:04I mean, what are you doing here?
00:40:05Can't you just leave me alone?
00:40:06I wouldn't bat an eyelash...
00:40:07If you just...
00:40:08Disappeared.
00:40:09I'm here for...
00:40:10Retail therapy.
00:40:12Oh, please.
00:40:13This store's for the A-list only.
00:40:15Not some cheatskate like you.
00:40:17Says the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:40:19Hey!
00:40:20Show some respect.
00:40:22Typical Laura.
00:40:23Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.
00:40:26I would've asked you, but...
00:40:28Without me, I'm sure you're already broke.
00:40:30Oh, please.
00:40:31Come on.
00:40:32We'll take the dress.
00:40:33Sir, this particular dress is...
00:40:35Not for sale.
00:40:36Uh...
00:40:37What do you mean you don't sell it?
00:40:38I want it!
00:40:39Name your price.
00:40:40It's not about the price, ma'am.
00:40:43This one was custom-made for Miss Lewis.
00:40:45The Lewis Group heiress.
00:40:46The entire brand belongs to her.
00:40:48This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.
00:40:52It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:40:55What are you talking about?
00:40:56Of course it would suit her.
00:40:57It'd fit her just fine.
00:40:58And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:41:03Well, buying the whole store.
00:41:05Allow me to purchase this dress.
00:41:11Oh, please.
00:41:12Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?
00:41:14We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:41:16Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.
00:41:19You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:41:22Could you?
00:41:23Please tell me more about this dress.
00:41:25Of course.
00:41:26Uh, it was custom-made for Laura Lewis.
00:41:29Heiress to the Lewis Group Fortune.
00:41:31Hand-stitched in Italy, naturally.
00:41:33And apparently there are many more like it.
00:41:35High-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.
00:41:41Laura, do you like this dress?
00:41:45Of course.
00:41:46Of course.
00:41:47It's custom-made for me.
00:41:48I'm just here to take what's already mine.
00:41:51Oh, you can't be serious.
00:41:52There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.
00:41:56Fine, fine.
00:41:57If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?
00:42:00It would look incredible on me.
00:42:02Miss, this dress is very delicate.
00:42:05If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:42:10Are you calling me fat?
00:42:11Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand?
00:42:16How's that sound?
00:42:17Sir, are you serious?
00:42:18You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:42:22This brand is worth at least $50 million.
00:42:25And to buy it for a waitress?
00:42:28Are you out of your mind?
00:42:30Yes.
00:42:31You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:42:34Just one second.
00:42:38Yes, this is Brian Shepherd, CEO of Shepherd Group.
00:42:41I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:42:44I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.
00:42:50What?
00:42:53Sorry, sir.
00:42:54That brand is not for sale.
00:42:57You see?
00:42:58If we can't have it, neither can you.
00:43:03Mr. Yates.
00:43:04Yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:43:07I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepherd Group.
00:43:13Oh, come on.
00:43:14Calling the Lewis family button won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:43:17Exactly.
00:43:18This is pathetic.
00:43:19You really think this is going to work?
00:43:21It's sad.
00:43:22Excellent.
00:43:24Thank you, Mr. Yates.
00:43:25That's awesome.
00:43:32Yes?
00:43:37What?
00:43:38Are you willing to sell me the brand?
00:43:40Yes.
00:43:41Yes?
00:43:42Yes?
00:43:43Yes?
00:43:44Yes?
00:43:45Yes?
00:43:46Yes?
00:43:47Yes?
00:43:48Yes?
00:43:49Yes?
00:43:50Yes?
00:43:51Yes, of course.
00:43:52Yes?
00:43:53Yes, of course.
00:43:54Absolutely.
00:43:55Yes?
00:43:56Yes, thank you.
00:43:57Uh, the store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepard.
00:44:01The Shepard Group is the new owner.
00:44:04How may I be up service today, sir?
00:44:06Well, Lauren, I don't know much about pressure.
00:44:10So I would like to give you this brand to you.
00:44:13You can't be serious.
00:44:15You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:44:17Don't listen to her, Brian.
00:44:20You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.
00:44:23You're not welcome here.
00:44:25I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:31I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:34Of course.
00:44:36Oh, come on.
00:44:37Sir, ma'am, you afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:44:40Well, we're not leaving, okay?
00:44:42Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:43This isn't over, Laura!
00:44:45Could I try the dress on now?
00:44:47Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:44:49You just follow me.
00:44:55Wow.
00:44:56Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.
00:45:02Laura, you look breathtaking in this dress.
00:45:08Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:45:14Laura, because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.
00:45:21And that includes this dress.
00:45:24Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:45:29I...
00:45:30I need a moment.
00:45:33Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:45:38Does that mean it could be a yes?
00:45:41Maybe.
00:45:42Maybe.
00:45:48Hi.
00:45:56Hi.
00:46:00What?
00:46:02Well, well, well.
00:46:03Look who decided to join the party.
00:46:05Playing dress up again, Laura?
00:46:07One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:46:10And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:46:12You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?
00:46:15For this.
00:46:16This gold digger.
00:46:17You know, Ben, I really cared about you.
00:46:21Even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:46:24I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:46:28Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:46:33Enough!
00:46:34I've had enough of this drama.
00:46:36Yeah, me too.
00:46:37Try that again.
00:46:39And you'll regret it.
00:46:41Now get the hell out of my face.
00:46:43Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:46:46Yeah.
00:46:49I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:46:52What?
00:46:53That's impossible.
00:46:54I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:46:57Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group.
00:47:02The name is on the list.
00:47:04Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.
00:47:07You don't have an invitation.
00:47:09You're just here because of Brian.
00:47:11Let me see this. This doesn't even look real.
00:47:17It's different from mine.
00:47:18Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:21This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:47:26Please, right this way.
00:47:28We can continue this discussion later.
00:47:31If you manage to get in.
00:47:33Sir?
00:47:34Madam?
00:47:35We recommend you leave.
00:47:36There you are!
00:47:37How dare you steal my fiance!
00:47:38There you are!
00:47:39How dare you steal my fiance!
00:47:40How dare you steal my fiance!
00:47:41There you are!
00:47:42How dare you steal my fiance!
00:47:44There you are!
00:47:45How dare you steal my fiance!
00:47:47Looks like another relationship fights the dust, Laura.
00:47:57Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours.
00:48:00Get away from him.
00:48:01He's engaged to me!
00:48:02Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:48:03Hold your horses, Clay.
00:48:04That ended a long time ago.
00:48:05Engaged to you.
00:48:06Everyone in Maplewood knows.
00:48:07to you. Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian. Your relationship's
00:48:12history. That was just a little tiff. You really think that could tear us apart?
00:48:18Don't you know who I am? Don't pretend like you don't know. Oh honey, she don't
00:48:25recognize royalty, let alone a duke. She's just a maid, remember? I don't have
00:48:30time for all this drama. Brian, let's head inside. Brian, how could you choose this
00:48:38cleaner over me? Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:48:45There's nothing left to say going. Don't make this a scene, shall we?
00:48:51You okay, Miss Duke? And you are? Amber Smith. I'm the Maplewood branch manager of
00:49:03Lewis Group. What branch? I've never heard of it. What do you want from me? That Laura!
00:49:09She tore up my invitation. Do you think you can get me inside? What, your little manager
00:49:13title couldn't get you past the front door? Please don't waste my time.
00:49:43If I can't have Brian, neither can you. The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:49:57Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you. Uncle Jones, how are you? I need your
00:50:04help with something. What is it? Anything for my little Chloe. It's Brian. Who's that woman?
00:50:12I thought you were... She's a con woman. She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:18What? Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner? Well, she's pretending to be a Lewis
00:50:26to get close to him. What are you planning? I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:50:33Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe. I had no idea she would be so... intense.
00:50:45What do you mean? You so should have taken her up on her offer. I mean, you guys are just...
00:50:53a power couple. I see what you're doing. Power couple, you say? More like a disaster waiting
00:51:04to happen. Anyway, shall we take a seat? Actually, Brian, my seat is up there. Really? She doesn't
00:51:17deserve to sit there. Excuse me. This is my VIP invitation. I can sit wherever I like.
00:51:25Hey, what do you think you're doing? This is signed by all three VPs of Lewis Group.
00:51:30Where did you get this? Who did you have to sleep with? That's enough. This is getting
00:51:38us nowhere. Laura is my guest. And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:51:46Got it? Mr. Shepard, what do you see in that woman? Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:51:54She's from a good family. Beautiful and successful. What more could you ask for?
00:52:00That's a good question. Not much actually. Honesty. That's what I want. And love. Things that clearly
00:52:12Chloe has no idea. I said I was sorry. What more do you want? I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:52:20She's like a daughter to me. I won't allow her to be spoken to like that. Anyway.
00:52:31One more chance, Brian. Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:52:36Do it, Mr. Shepard. Propose. Right here. Right now.
00:52:41Brian?
00:52:43Is this how the Duke family handles business deals? By forcing a ring on someone?
00:52:52Do it. Or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:53:02Don't you dare. You're humiliating yourself.
00:53:06Don't you dare.
00:53:07Don't you dare. Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:53:10Yes.
00:53:15But I can't imagine someone like her interesting in me.
00:53:21The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:53:26Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:28Oh no.
00:53:29Exactly. This woman is trouble. She doesn't belong here. Throw her out!
00:53:34You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?
00:53:39Interesting turn of events.
00:53:42Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:53:46Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura,
00:53:50that you're the missing heiress, Laura Lewis?
00:53:52You know what? Maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:53:58How ridiculous. Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:54:02I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation,
00:54:07but wow, did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe.
00:54:12You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.
00:54:15That's enough. You don't get to talk here.
00:54:18You got mad, Shepard. You dare to go against Miss Duke.
00:54:20And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:54:23Anyone who insults Laura.
00:54:26Leaves with a black eye.
00:54:28She's willing to defend the chick for her.
00:54:30What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:32I want to be careful, Brian.
00:54:34Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:54:38Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:54:42The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially none.
00:54:47Shepard Group.
00:54:51Lewis Group RS? You?
00:54:55Don't make me laugh.
00:54:57Security! Remove these two impostors from the premises.
00:55:01Wait, Uncle Jones. Give Brian another chance.
00:55:05Choose, Brian.
00:55:06What do you deserve?
00:55:07Me and the future you deserve? Or this...
00:55:09Fraud?
00:55:12Chloe.
00:55:14I have everything I ever wanted.
00:55:16Right here.
00:55:18And I wouldn't trade all the power that looks on me.
00:55:22Fine.
00:55:23What?
00:55:24You've forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:25Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:26The Duke family.
00:55:27They can't be serious.
00:55:28Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:29Brian, you don't have to do this for me.
00:55:30You don't have to do this for me.
00:55:31Laura.
00:55:32Laura.
00:55:33Laura.
00:55:34Laura.
00:55:35Now we'll never let anyone bully you.
00:55:37Let alone them.
00:55:38Thank you, Brian.
00:55:39Thank you, Brian.
00:55:40For...
00:55:41For believing in me.
00:55:42For protecting me.
00:55:44Now it's my turn.
00:55:45To protect you.
00:55:46No.
00:55:47No.
00:55:48No.
00:55:49No.
00:55:50No.
00:55:51No.
00:55:52No.
00:55:53No.
00:55:54No.
00:55:55No.
00:55:56No.
00:55:57No.
00:55:58No.
00:55:59No.
00:56:00No.
00:56:01No.
00:56:02No.
00:56:03No.
00:56:04No.
00:56:06No.
00:56:08No.
00:56:09Listen carefully.
00:56:11I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.
00:56:14At all costs.
00:56:16Don't let it drop.
00:56:18Even one cent.
00:56:21Do you understand?
00:56:22Wow.
00:56:24Award winning performance, Laura.
00:56:27But you can't possibly control the stock market here.
00:56:30Wanna put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:34If the Shepard stock holds for the next five minutes, you owe me a public apology.
00:56:51Yeah.
00:56:56Well, looks like your five minutes is up.
00:57:01Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
00:57:04What the?
00:57:09Does Shepard grip stock prices?
00:57:11It's going up!
00:57:13This can't be happening.
00:57:14It must be a coincidence.
00:57:21Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
00:57:24There was a huge investment.
00:57:26We couldn't compete.
00:57:27Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:31How did you do this?
00:57:33Like I said, Chloe, I'm Laura Lewis.
00:57:38No, you're not.
00:57:39You're just some cleaner.
00:57:40You don't have access to billions.
00:57:41Well, I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:45No.
00:57:46I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:53No.
00:57:55I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:56There's no way I'm apologizing to you.
00:57:59If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:58:03Chloe?
00:58:04The truth is, everyone here has seen you be a bully, and a coward, and now a sore loser.
00:58:16This is so humiliating for her.
00:58:19How did she manage that?
00:58:21Maybe she really is a Lewis.
00:58:24Apologize to Miss Lewis.
00:58:26Shut up.
00:58:27Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.
00:58:30Don't forget, the Duke family owned half of Maplewood.
00:58:33They don't deserve this.
00:58:35Let's get out of here.
00:58:38Hold on.
00:58:40This is where I belong.
00:58:43And that is my chair.
00:58:47You can't go there.
00:58:48That is the VIP section.
00:58:50Only those invited by the Lewis Group Vice Presidents get to sit there.
00:58:54Like I said, Chloe, that's my seat.
00:59:04Had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
00:59:07Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepherd, wasn't it?
00:59:16Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
00:59:18Is this how you charm all your men?
00:59:20Shall we?
00:59:22My pleasure.
00:59:24What are you doing?
00:59:26Let go.
00:59:27It doesn't matter what happened.
00:59:29I choose to stay by Laura's side.
00:59:32Let's go.
00:59:34Don't be absurd.
00:59:35That seat is reserved for a very important guest.
00:59:39Someone so esteemed, even the Vice Presidents have to bow low.
00:59:45And...
00:59:47How exactly, Mr. Jones?
00:59:50Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
00:59:55Wait.
00:59:56That's Peter Young.
00:59:57Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group.
01:00:03Ask Peter Young.
01:00:04He decides which...
01:00:05Mr. Young.
01:00:06It's Chloe Duke.
01:00:07Head of Duke Industries.
01:00:08So glad you could join us.
01:00:09Why is everyone standing around?
01:00:11It's her.
01:00:12She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat.
01:00:15It's...
01:00:16It's embarrassing.
01:00:17That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
01:00:21Specifically the family heir.
01:00:23Please get off the stage.
01:00:25Oh yes.
01:00:27Mr. Young.
01:00:28Was it?
01:00:29I think I remember you.
01:00:30You manage my family's investments.
01:00:33Don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:00:37Please get off the stage.
01:00:38That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.
01:00:42I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:00:49I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:00:54This is ridiculous.
01:00:55You.
01:00:56The Lewis heir.
01:00:57Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:00:59You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:01:00Exactly.
01:01:01We ran a background check on her.
01:01:02And it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.
01:01:03Before that, I could see her in my famous supermarket.
01:01:04See Brian?
01:01:05This is who you've been chasing after.
01:01:06A liar and a cheat.
01:01:07Security.
01:01:08Get this imposter out of here.
01:01:09And everyone here is a witness.
01:01:10Why would any of you trust Laura?
01:01:11If any of you dares to harm her.
01:01:12You have to go through me first.
01:01:13Brian.
01:01:14Stop.
01:01:15Stop.
01:01:16Stop.
01:01:17Stop.
01:01:18Stop.
01:01:19Stop.

01:02:01Stop.
01:02:02Stop.
01:02:03Stop.
01:02:04Stop.
01:02:05Stop.
01:02:06Miss Lewis, sorry about the delay and for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:02:13It's no trouble, Mr. Yates. Luckily I haven't been alone.
01:02:17I've had the great company of my very loyal friend.
01:02:23Wait a minute. She's Miss Lewis. Is this a joke?
01:02:27Mr. Young, you're new to the Lewis group, so I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.
01:02:34But you listened to lies without checking the facts, and almost called the police.
01:02:41Tell me, Mr. Young, who put you up to this?
01:02:46Was it my uncle or Ian Lewis?
01:02:51I knew it.
01:02:55Consider this your termination.
01:02:59I get it now. This is all an act, right?
01:03:03Chloe, what are you doing? We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:03:06Work with them? Are you blind? This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:03:11That's enough, young lady. You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis group.
01:03:18Oh, Chloe. I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:03:21I think you need some professional help.
01:03:24Help. Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:03:27Chloe, that's enough.
01:03:29It's ridiculous. If you weren't really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.
01:03:33So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:03:35Show us the ring!
01:03:37Show us the ring!
01:03:38Show us the ring!
01:03:39Show us the ring!
01:03:40Show us the ring!
01:03:41Show us the ring!
01:03:42Show us the ring!
01:03:43Show us the ring!
01:03:44Show us the ring!
01:03:45Who are you to make demands of me?
01:03:48I don't answer to anyone but myself.
01:03:51I don't need any of your validation.
01:03:56Show us the ring!
01:03:57Show us the ring.
01:03:58Oh, there's a ring.
01:03:59Oh, there's a ring!
01:04:01Oh, there's a ring!
01:04:03First Presidents, I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.
01:04:07This woman is an impostor!
01:04:09Ms. Lewis, we apologise for the delay.
01:04:12How could you just let that con woman sit there?
01:04:15Get her out of here!
01:04:16This seat was always for Ms. Lewis.
01:04:19She's the special guest we've been waiting for.
01:04:23The investment queen.
01:04:25The real heir to Lewis Group, Laura Lewis.
01:04:30She has a divorced housewife, a janitor.
01:04:32How can she?
01:04:33She can't be.
01:04:34It's a lie, I'm telling you.
01:04:35It's a lie.
01:04:36Do you think we'd lie?
01:04:39We run Lewis Group.
01:04:41Oh, Chloe, you assaulted me earlier.
01:04:45And you came to this meeting to what?
01:04:49Sabotage it.
01:04:50You'll be hearing from our legal team.
01:04:56This is true, Miss Duke.
01:04:57Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:05:01Yes, it's all true.
01:05:03She fooled us all.
01:05:05The Duke tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewood
01:05:08and control everything themselves.
01:05:10I had no idea.
01:05:12But I'm on your side.
01:05:14I can give you everything you need.
01:05:17All the resources in Maplewood.
01:05:19Miss Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this?
01:05:23An eye.
01:05:23For an eye.
01:05:27Since Miss Duke here loves ruining things,
01:05:34I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:05:39I want them bankrupt in ten minutes.
01:05:42You're bluffing.
01:05:44You're nobody.
01:05:45You'll always be a nobody.
01:05:46And you can't touch me.
01:05:48Then consider this a test, Chloe.
01:05:52I didn't need my family's support with Shepard,
01:05:55and I certainly don't need it now.
01:05:57Chloe, you dug your own grave.
01:06:00You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family
01:06:03with just the Shepard group?
01:06:05Please.
01:06:07Hmm.
01:06:09We'll see.
01:06:14Dad?
01:06:16Slow down.
01:06:17What are you talking about?
01:06:20No.
01:06:22It's impossible.
01:06:24Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:26Years of hard work.
01:06:28Destroyed in minutes.
01:06:29What did you do?
01:06:34Well, Chloe...
01:06:36Isn't this what you wanted?
01:06:40To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:06:42This is...
01:06:43This is impossible.
01:06:45It's impossible!
01:06:46Chloe!
01:06:47What have you done?
01:06:49The news is everywhere.
01:06:51Shepard's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market.
01:06:54They're hammering our shares!
01:06:56Ow!
01:06:57Are you sure it's just Shepard?
01:06:58Yes!
01:06:59Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato.
01:07:03We could go bankrupt!
01:07:05You've ruined everything!
01:07:06Don't worry, Mr. Duke.
01:07:08When your company does go bankrupt,
01:07:11I'll buy it.
01:07:12At a fire sale price.
01:07:14Your employees won't even be affected.
01:07:15Brilliant!
01:07:16A master's showcase, Lewis.
01:07:20Now,
01:07:21this
01:07:21is my event.
01:07:24Please leave.
01:07:25Brian,
01:07:26I did this for us!
01:07:27Everything I did,
01:07:28I did for us, Brian!
01:07:32Chloe,
01:07:33you need help.
01:07:35These feelings you have for me,
01:07:37it's not love.
01:07:40It's obsession.
01:07:42Enough.
01:07:43If you don't want to ruin everything completely,
01:07:45you'll come with me
01:07:46right now.
01:07:48Look.
01:07:49Right now.
01:07:50Go!
01:07:51Go!
01:07:52What?
01:07:53Laura!
01:07:53This isn't Arma!
01:08:01Get out of me!
01:08:03What is going on here?
01:08:09Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:08:11Shepard Group.
01:08:13They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group for Maplewood.
01:08:16They're handling all future construction projects.
01:08:19That can't be!
01:08:21What about us?
01:08:22That was our project!
01:08:23Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.
01:08:25The Harrison Group is practically out.
01:08:27We have no chance.
01:08:28We can't give up that easily.
01:08:31Remember,
01:08:32Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager.
01:08:35In a few days,
01:08:35he promised that he would let us meet with the new heir.
01:08:37You're right.
01:08:38If we can just meet with the new heir,
01:08:40we can bypass the Shepards
01:08:42and meet directly with the Lewis Group.
01:08:44We just have to play their little game
01:08:46and see who comes out on top.
01:08:49That's right.
01:08:49Vice Presidents,
01:08:55allow me to introduce my associate,
01:08:58Brian Shepard.
01:08:59I'm sure I've mentioned him again.
01:09:01Mr. Shepard,
01:09:02it's finally a pleasure to meet you.
01:09:04We've looked into your company's financial review.
01:09:08Very impressive.
01:09:10Thank you, bud.
01:09:12A large part of that success
01:09:13is thanks to Ms. Lewis.
01:09:15No.
01:09:16She practically saved me from disaster.
01:09:18Three times over now.
01:09:20Brian,
01:09:21you can just call me more.
01:09:23Ms. Lewis' recommendation
01:09:25is very telling, Mr. Shepard.
01:09:28Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:09:30Mr. Shepard,
01:09:31this opportunity is gone.
01:09:34Seasage.
01:09:36A woman like Laura
01:09:37is not easy to find.
01:09:39Thank you for your kind words,
01:09:41Mr. Vice President.
01:09:48Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:09:52Laura?
01:09:53Hardly.
01:09:54I'm Ian Lewis,
01:09:56CEO and rightful heir
01:09:57of the Lewis Group.
01:10:01So you're Laura's uncle?
01:10:03In the flesh.
01:10:05So Laura really is your niece?
01:10:08Yes.
01:10:08Little Laura.
01:10:09She just threw away her birthright
01:10:12about two, three years ago.
01:10:14Ran off and married a nobody
01:10:16from Maplewood.
01:10:17I think he was a Harrison.
01:10:19Now Laura's got the VPs
01:10:20and Mr. Yates on her side.
01:10:22Did you hear she's throwing a banquet
01:10:24in a few days
01:10:24to announce her official takeover?
01:10:26And we can't let that happen,
01:10:28can we, my dear?
01:10:30If you're Ian Lewis,
01:10:31wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:10:33Well, my dear,
01:10:34that's where you come in,
01:10:36Miss Duke.
01:10:36We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:10:40What if I, what if I fail?
01:10:42My family is already ruined.
01:10:44Yes, you are in a spot of bother,
01:10:46I must say.
01:10:48But, if successful,
01:10:50I guarantee that you
01:10:51and the Duke family
01:10:52will get back everything you've lost.
01:10:55Laura's got the VPs
01:10:56and Brian on her side.
01:10:58How can I possibly get the ring?
01:11:00There is a way, you know,
01:11:02that we can make Laura
01:11:03relinquish
01:11:05and give up that ring
01:11:06willingly.
01:11:09Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:11:11Uncle Ian,
01:11:13it's so good to see you.
01:11:18Laura.
01:11:19It's so good to see you.
01:11:21And you,
01:11:21it's been
01:11:22too long,
01:11:23two,
01:11:24three years perhaps.
01:11:26How have you been?
01:11:27I've been well,
01:11:28Uncle Ian.
01:11:29Thank you for asking.
01:11:31I see you've been busy
01:11:33keeping Lewis' group afloat.
01:11:35Yes.
01:11:35It's been easy.
01:11:36Indeed.
01:11:37Somebody had to.
01:11:38I mean,
01:11:39after you left me
01:11:40with everything to do,
01:11:41without a safe pair of hands,
01:11:43I hate to think
01:11:43it would have happened
01:11:44to the company.
01:11:46Actually,
01:11:47Uncle Ian,
01:11:47from what I've heard,
01:11:50you've lost billions
01:11:51with some questionable investment decisions.
01:11:54Yes.
01:11:55Minor mistakes.
01:11:57Minor.
01:11:57Don't worry,
01:11:58Uncle Ian.
01:11:59I won't hold it against you.
01:12:01Oh,
01:12:01good.
01:12:03Well,
01:12:03cheers to you coming back here
01:12:05and the Lewis group.
01:12:08I'm so sorry,
01:12:12Laura.
01:12:13How clumsy of me.
01:12:14No,
01:12:15no worries,
01:12:16Uncle Ian.
01:12:17I'll just go
01:12:19to the restroom
01:12:19and get cleaned up.
01:12:21Of course.
01:12:22Right away,
01:12:23just down to the left.
01:12:30Use it wisely.
01:12:31Oh,
01:12:33I will.
01:12:48Hey,
01:12:48Laura.
01:12:49How's that?
01:12:50Hello,
01:12:51Brian.
01:12:51Your little girlfriend
01:12:52is with me now.
01:12:54Chloe,
01:12:55how in the hell
01:12:56did you get
01:12:57Laura's phone?
01:12:58Let's just say
01:12:59that I have my ways.
01:13:01Listen,
01:13:01Chloe,
01:13:02don't hurt her.
01:13:04Please.
01:13:06I'll do anything.
01:13:09Come to the abandoned warehouse
01:13:10in the eastern suburbs.
01:13:12Now.
01:13:14Don't tell anyone
01:13:15if you want her alive.
01:13:19Well,
01:13:20you certainly do
01:13:21have your ways.
01:13:25Oh,
01:13:26thank goodness
01:13:26you've cleared up.
01:13:27I am sorry.
01:13:28How clumsy.
01:13:29And don't forget your phone.
01:13:30I retrieved it for you.
01:13:33I'm going again.
01:13:34Lovely to see you again.
01:13:35Yeah.
01:13:35I guess I'll see you
01:13:36the day after tomorrow
01:13:38at the banquet.
01:13:39At the banquet.
01:13:42I'll see you then.
01:13:43Will do.
01:13:44Looking forward to it.
01:13:47Laura!
01:13:48Laura!
01:13:49Where are you?
01:13:51Laura!
01:13:53Laura!
01:13:54Where are you?
01:13:56Laura!
01:13:57Laura,
01:13:57where are you?
01:13:58Laura!
01:13:59Laura!
01:13:59Laura!
01:13:59Oh!
01:14:03I got you.
01:14:07You weren't expecting that,
01:14:08were you?
01:14:19Finally.
01:14:20looks like your little boyfriend
01:14:22got turned around.
01:14:23What the?
01:14:24Laura,
01:14:24where are you?
01:14:25Laura?
01:14:25Laura?
01:14:26Go shut your mouth.
01:14:28Chloe,
01:14:29what have you done?
01:14:31Are you out of your mind?
01:14:32Out of my mind!
01:14:34You were the one
01:14:35that left me for that tramp
01:14:36and destroyed my life!
01:14:37That's not true.
01:14:39You were the one
01:14:39who messed up!
01:14:40Ryan!
01:14:41Laura!
01:14:42Laura!
01:14:42Stay where you are!
01:14:45You better not come alone!
01:14:49Shut this knife,
01:14:50Chloe.
01:14:50This is insane!
01:14:52Insane?
01:14:53I did this for us,
01:14:54Brian!
01:14:55We were meant to be together!
01:14:58Us?
01:14:59You've gone crazy!
01:15:01And you're out of here!
01:15:02Chloe,
01:15:03kidnapping
01:15:04is a very
01:15:05serious event.
01:15:07They're going to lock you up
01:15:08for years!
01:15:08You think I care
01:15:10about jail time?
01:15:12All I care about
01:15:13is tearing you
01:15:13to the party!
01:15:14Do you deserve him?
01:15:17What you've done?
01:15:18You've destroyed my life!
01:15:21My company,
01:15:21everything!
01:15:23Now I'm going to
01:15:24destroy your life!
01:15:26Give me
01:15:27your family ring now!
01:15:29Give it to me!
01:15:30This is about the ring!
01:15:33Did my Uncle Ian
01:15:34put you up to this?
01:15:36Do you know Chloe?
01:15:38Trying to kill me?
01:15:40That's foolish!
01:15:42Because who do you think
01:15:43is going to win?
01:15:45You?
01:15:47That little knife?
01:15:48Or...
01:15:49me?
01:15:51With something
01:15:52a little bit more persuasive?
01:16:01Freeze!
01:16:02Don't move, anyone!
01:16:06Don't move!
01:16:07You're about to be
01:16:09arrested for kidnapping!
01:16:11Miss Lewis,
01:16:12having fun without me?
01:16:14I'm hurt!
01:16:16I'm all right!
01:16:17Are you hurt?
01:16:19No, I'm okay!
01:16:23Tell me, Chloe!
01:16:25Who put you up
01:16:27to this, Chloe?
01:16:28Why should I tell you?
01:16:30You're going to kill me
01:16:31anyway!
01:16:32Chloe,
01:16:32I don't have a problem
01:16:33with you!
01:16:35But if you don't talk,
01:16:37your beloved Duke Industries
01:16:40might run into some.
01:16:42Well, I'm recording
01:16:43everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:45So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:16:47Talk,
01:16:49or face the consequences.
01:16:51Fine!
01:16:52It was Ian Lewis.
01:16:53He...
01:16:53He said he'd help Duke Industries
01:16:55if I kept you away
01:16:56from the bank room today.
01:16:57Did you get all of that,
01:17:00Mr. Yates?
01:17:01I'm recording everything,
01:17:03Miss Lewis.
01:17:06Oh, every word,
01:17:07Miss Lewis.
01:17:08Are you ready
01:17:09to play a game,
01:17:10Brian?
01:17:10This is crazy.
01:17:23Are we really sure
01:17:23we can do this?
01:17:24All these big companies here,
01:17:25it's crazy.
01:17:27Absolutely.
01:17:28The Lewis Group
01:17:29is under new leadership.
01:17:30We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:32Exactly.
01:17:33We just need to make sure
01:17:34we make a good impression
01:17:35on the new heir.
01:17:37There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:39You can introduce us.
01:17:40Let's go.
01:17:40Yeah.
01:17:43Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:17:44I'm Amber Smith.
01:17:45We spoke on the phone
01:17:46the other day.
01:17:47This is Ben Harrison
01:17:48from Harrison Group.
01:17:49How do you do?
01:17:50We're the company that...
01:17:51Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:53Miss Smith,
01:17:53you're the one
01:17:54who exposed Laura's
01:17:55little drama.
01:17:56Now, look,
01:17:57I'm not here
01:17:57for idle chat.
01:18:03Good evening,
01:18:04ladies and gentlemen.
01:18:04Can I ask you all
01:18:05to be seated, please?
01:18:08The moment you've all
01:18:10been waiting for.
01:18:12Tonight marks a new chapter
01:18:13in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:16A night where the rightful heir
01:18:17takes their place.
01:18:19Would you please join me
01:18:20in welcoming the heir
01:18:22to the Lewis Group,
01:18:23Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:24Look, everybody,
01:18:26attention.
01:18:27Attention, please.
01:18:29There's been a recent development
01:18:32of some tragedy.
01:18:35I just got noticed
01:18:36from a phone call
01:18:37a couple of minutes ago
01:18:38that Laura has been
01:18:40in a car accident.
01:18:42And tragically,
01:18:43she hasn't made it.
01:18:45She has not survived.
01:18:46What?
01:18:50Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:53It doesn't matter now.
01:18:54She's gone.
01:18:55Mr. Lewis,
01:18:56is this new...
01:18:57A tragic turn of events,
01:18:58Mr. Yates.
01:18:59But rest assured,
01:19:00the Lewis Group
01:19:01will continue
01:19:02under my competent leadership.
01:19:05Hold on!
01:19:07Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:10Laura!
01:19:11I don't understand.
01:19:17What's happening?
01:19:19Laura?
01:19:20But...
01:19:21weren't you...
01:19:22My apologies
01:19:23for the delay, everyone.
01:19:25There seems to be
01:19:26some...
01:19:27misunderstanding.
01:19:28Laura,
01:19:29what are you doing here?
01:19:30You've got to stop this.
01:19:31If you upset
01:19:32the Lewis family anymore,
01:19:33we're all doomed.
01:19:34I'll save this once.
01:19:35Back off, then.
01:19:41Thank you
01:19:42for coming, everyone.
01:19:44As I'm sure you know,
01:19:46tonight,
01:19:47I officially
01:19:48reclaim my title
01:19:50as the CEO
01:19:52of Lewis Group.
01:19:55Perhaps
01:19:56you
01:19:57could make some room for me,
01:19:59Uncle Ian?
01:20:00Impossible!
01:20:01How are you still alive?
01:20:03Well, clearly,
01:20:04I am alive
01:20:04and well,
01:20:05so
01:20:05why don't we get this started?
01:20:07No.
01:20:08You're not
01:20:09the rightful heir.
01:20:11You gave that away
01:20:12when you married
01:20:12Ben Harrison.
01:20:15Uncle Ian,
01:20:16is that seriously
01:20:17your argument
01:20:17that you have
01:20:18that I got married
01:20:19too quickly?
01:20:20Well,
01:20:21you went off to Maplewood
01:20:22three years ago
01:20:23and married a stranger
01:20:24and left me
01:20:25to work tirelessly
01:20:26keeping the company together.
01:20:28Uncle Ian,
01:20:29retire.
01:20:30Enjoy
01:20:31your retirement.
01:20:33Lewis Group
01:20:33will be perfectly fine
01:20:35without you.
01:20:35No!
01:20:36There can only be
01:20:37one heir
01:20:38and that's me
01:20:39and the right
01:20:41full heir
01:20:41has possession
01:20:42of this.
01:20:44You think
01:20:45a ring
01:20:46makes an heir?
01:20:47You're even more foolish
01:20:48than I could have
01:20:49ever imagined.
01:20:51Give that back to me.
01:20:53This?
01:20:54Yes.
01:20:55You think
01:20:55some shiny gold thing
01:20:57makes you the heir?
01:20:59Give it back.
01:21:00True leadership
01:21:02is about
01:21:03earning
01:21:04the respect
01:21:05of those
01:21:06around you.
01:21:07Not some stupid ring.
01:21:10Oh, my ring!
01:21:11Look at God,
01:21:12where is it?
01:21:15My ring!
01:21:17Now,
01:21:18everyone,
01:21:18if I could have
01:21:19your attention.
01:21:20How dare you!
01:21:21Let me show you
01:21:22how a true
01:21:23heir
01:21:24earns a ring like that.
01:21:26Hmm?
01:21:26Hmm?
01:21:27Hmm?
01:21:27Hmm?
01:21:27Hmm?
01:21:28Hmm?
01:21:28Hmm?
01:21:29Hmm?
01:21:29Hmm?
01:21:30Hmm?
01:21:30Hmm?
01:21:31Fine.
01:21:32It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:34He...
01:21:34He said he helped
01:21:35you get distracted
01:21:36if I kept you away
01:21:37from the bankers today.
01:21:38Hmm?
01:21:38Hmm?
01:21:39Hmm?
01:21:39Hmm?
01:21:40Hmm?
01:21:40Hmm?
01:21:41Oh, quite the spectacle,
01:21:42Miss Lewis.
01:21:44Security,
01:21:45escort him out.
01:21:47And Ian,
01:21:48don't fall over.
01:21:49It's all lies.
01:21:50It's all lies.
01:21:51Fakery!
01:21:51It's fake news!
01:21:52The proof is clear!
01:21:52Get him out of here!
01:21:54Now!
01:21:54I owe all of you
01:22:00an apology
01:22:01for everything
01:22:02that's happened tonight.
01:22:03Turns out,
01:22:04reclaiming my birthright
01:22:05didn't go as smoothly
01:22:07as I had hoped.
01:22:09Luckily,
01:22:10these past few days,
01:22:12I've had
01:22:12Mr. Shepard
01:22:14by my side.
01:22:16And he has been
01:22:17a great support.
01:22:21Lewis Group
01:22:21has a lot
01:22:23of exciting plans.
01:22:24for Maplewood.
01:22:27I'm proud to announce
01:22:28that
01:22:28we have secured
01:22:30a reliable
01:22:31partner.
01:22:35Shepard Group.
01:22:36What?
01:22:37Laura, hold on!
01:22:38This was, uh,
01:22:39never my idea!
01:22:40This was all
01:22:40Cathy and Amber's fault!
01:22:41I don't want a divorce!
01:22:43What?
01:22:44Then what are you saying?
01:22:45You came to me first!
01:22:46Classic Ben.
01:22:48Something goes wrong
01:22:49and you start
01:22:50pointing the fingers
01:22:50at all the women
01:22:51in your life.
01:22:52Just don't
01:22:53shut Harrison Group out.
01:22:55Just give me another chance.
01:22:57How could I shut you out?
01:22:59I'm just a cleaner,
01:23:00remember?
01:23:01I'm just a useless
01:23:02housewife.
01:23:03I don't have that power.
01:23:04What are you talking about?
01:23:08What?
01:23:08No, come on!
01:23:08Sorry!
01:23:09No, please!
01:23:09No!
01:23:11Um, Mr. Shepard?
01:23:14Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:23:15I was wondering
01:23:16if
01:23:17maybe you wanted
01:23:19to grab dinner
01:23:20sometime
01:23:22on me.
01:23:26Miss Lewis,
01:23:26I would love to.
