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.
00:00:20Sir, 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 suggestion.
00:00:47Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple minutes?
00:00:50Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.
00:00:57But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
00:01:05Do I know you?
00:01:09Wait, what are you doing?
00:01:13What are you doing?
00:01:14You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.
00:01:15Don't be messing with the company funds.
00:01:17This is incredible.
00:01:19What's going on?
00:01:21The shorting attempt.
00:01:23It's failing.
00:01:24The price is holding.
00:01:27Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:30We met before.
00:01:31They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:32Hold on.
00:01:33Tell me.
00:01:34How could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:35If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:51Jason?
00:01:52Can we have fun?
00:01:53Now?
00:01:54Mr. Yates?
00:01:55What?
00:01:56Only two bodyguards this time?
00:01:57You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:01:58No, ma'am.
00:01:59I just thought you might like a scream today.
00:02:00Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Laws Group.
00:02:04Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:05Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and
00:02:09why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:10Look, today is Ben's birthday.
00:02:12Anything we can make can make you do that, I have to break the door for you, to be in
00:02:18the chimney.
00:02:19All right?
00:02:20All right?
00:02:21It's not true.
00:02:22All right, here I do.
00:02:23All right.
00:02:24I'm a man.
00:02:25We've seen a guy.
00:02:26And my two bodyguards are still working.
00:02:27Please remember that.
00:02:28Never mind.
00:02:29I'm doing some new suit, thank you.
00:02:30Mr. Yates.
00:02:32Every morning, everyone is waiting in New York.
00:02:33And I'm getting married.
00:02:34I'm getting married when we get married.
00:02:35You're getting married, I'm getting married.
00:02:36I'm getting married.
00:02:37I'm getting married by my Mom.
00:02:38Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:41Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:45Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:02:50Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house. For my sake.
00:02:57Divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:16Why?
00:03:17You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:20The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:03:26The Sheppard Group. And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:03:31The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:03:35I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:37I 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.
00:03:54I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:57What are you doing here?
00:03:59Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:03Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:06Local royalty? A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:11And what qualifications do you have to judge, Ms. Cleaner?
00:04:15Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it?
00:04:20Ben?
00:04:23What's going on?
00:04:24Is this why you won a divorce? Because of her?
00:04:27Oh, please. I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:04:31You're still a cleaner.
00:04:33You just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:34Grew apart, that's all.
00:04:35Grew apart?
00:04:36Grew apart?
00:04:38No.
00:04:39No, I...I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:45I won't sign...
00:04:48Huh.
00:04:49Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:51Ben.
00:04:53Alright.
00:04:54Here.
00:04:55$100,000.
00:04:56Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:59$100,000.
00:05:02I 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.
00:05:18A million dollars.
00:05:19Take this.
00:05:20You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:22Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:25I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.
00:05:32Since none of you respect me.
00:05:36A cleaning lady, threatening us.
00:05:39I'm so scared.
00:05:41Just leave.
00:05:42You already make this house stink.
00:05:51Thank God she's gone.
00:05:52Go to a written store.
00:05:56Sir.
00:05:58Laura Lewis's information.
00:06:03She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:06:05No wonder why she wanted to part with him.
00:06:08Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:11Divorced her?
00:06:14Wait a minute.
00:06:16Don't you remember?
00:06:17She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:21Yeah.
00:06:22She's saved our hiding now.
00:06:24Remember?
00:06:26Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:31Oh.
00:06:33Let's get to the vinyl news.
00:06:38Hey!
00:06:39What are you doing?
00:06:40Let go of me!
00:06:41You attacked Amber!
00:06:42Apologize this instant!
00:06:43Stealing 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.
00:06:54You're a thief.
00:06:55That's mine!
00:06:56Give it back!
00:06:57That's enough!
00:06:58Laura.
00:06:59I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:00It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:05You see?
00:07:06Who are you?
00:07:07Laura's new squeeze.
00:07:08Excuse me.
00:07:09Do you know who I am?
00:07:10Is this true?
00:07:11You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:07:13Shame on you!
00:07:14I'm sorry.
00:07:15I'm sorry.
00:07:16I'm sorry.
00:07:17I'm sorry.
00:07:18I'm sorry.
00:07:19I'm sorry.
00:07:20I'm sorry.
00:07:21I'm sorry.
00:07:22I'm sorry.
00:07:23I'm sorry.
00:07:24I'm sorry.
00:07:25I'm sorry.
00:07:26I'm sorry.
00:07:27Did you know who I am while you were married to my son?
00:07:30Shame on you!
00:07:31Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:32For your information.
00:07:33My name is Brian Shepard.
00:07:34I'm the CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:36Oh, please.
00:07:37A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:40You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:43That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract
00:07:48for Ben.
00:07:49That's ridiculous.
00:07:50He doesn't look like that.
00:07:52My ring.
00:07:53Jason.
00:07:54Give it back, Mr. Lewis.
00:07:55Oh, hey, what are you doing?!
00:07:56Just...
00:07:57Laura, let's get you out of here, now.
00:08:02Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:08:03Who the heck is this matter?
00:08:05Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:07It's a lie, ma'am.
00:08:08This is none of your business.
00:08:10All rabbed dead bodies.
00:08:11You're not going anywhere until I tell you,
00:08:13tell us what's going on.
00:08:14We are the Harrisons.
00:08:16You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:18Harrison, compared to the Shepard group, you're nobody.
00:08:21Now go back.
00:08:22What?
00:08:23Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:08:25That's a lie.
00:08:26Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.
00:08:28You come back here and explain yourself.
00:08:30Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.
00:08:35Laura, 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?
00:08:52No.
00:08:53No.
00:08:54The event will proceed.
00:08:56Besides, I'll be there.
00:08:59There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:05Who are you, truly?
00:09:07You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.
00:09:11Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:17Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners and we're gonna have a meeting.
00:09:25An investment meeting.
00:09:27One week from today.
00:09:28Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:32Because after that meeting, I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:40Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:09:42I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:44Ben Harrison.
00:09:46You're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:58After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:03Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:07Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:09Security!
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?
00:10:19You 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!
00:10:26Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:29You should've taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:31Oh, Ben.
00:10:32Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:36Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:38Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:40You don't belong here.
00:10:42Just get out!
00:10:48That's what you get.
00:10:54This contract is mine.
00:10:57To give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:01Don't be ridiculous!
00:11:02This is insane!
00:11:03Who do you think you are?
00:11:04Yeah, put that down.
00:11:05You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:07Security!
00:11:08She's lost a mind!
00:11:10This is a disaster!
00:11:11Ben.
00:11:12This contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you.
00:11:16But since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:19You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help?
00:11:35You're so silly, Lauren.
00:11:36Oh, please, honey.
00:11:37You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:38Security!
00:11:39Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:41I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:11:42And after careful consideration, I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:11:47You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:11:59You have no authority here.
00:12:11Of course she has the authority.
00:12:12by something that you've done you have no authority here of course she has the authority
00:12:24that's the man that laura went with the other day what is he doing here mr shepard
00:12:28how does he know her is that really brian shepard laura are you all right
00:12:35uh mr shepard i can assure you i don't even know this woman there must be some sort of

00:13:36right lewis group the financial giants there's no way a lewis is connected to this
00:13:46that's crazy there's no way you're related to the lewis family name that's absurd
00:13:50it's it's it's absurd a high society heirs wouldn't waste their time in maplewood yeah yeah it's a lie
00:14:00it's a lie this woman was a waitress when i met her in fact i saved her from a robbery three years ago
00:14:07she's nothing special she only married me out of gratitude i was just a waitress how convenient for
00:14:14your story ben first time i met her she was in need of waiters at the diner okay listen up everybody
00:14:20when i when i met her i'd only just started my business now look at me i'm signing multi-million
00:14:25dollar contracts look at her still just a clear mr shepherd that woman is my son's ex-wife she's doing
00:14:34all this out of spite she's lying mr shepherd she's just a cleaning lady for your business isn't she
00:14:40let's make something clear i was the one behind harrison group success i use my resources to help
00:14:53my ex-husband but all he saw me as was the maid don't lie you were never good enough for ben when
00:14:59you married him oops that roof was built with lies kathy you never respected me and ben dumping me the
00:15:09second you thought you were successful on your own and the cheating i think you're blaming the wrong
00:15:15person you were not good enough for ben then and you're certainly not good enough for him now
00:15:21if you'd prefer to believe a liar's story then the truth kathy consider this my resignation from the
00:15:30harrisons from everything oh wait wait laura you think you can just walk in here and you know ruin
00:15:40everything and then just walk out like nothing happened i don't think so you're a cleaner you're
00:15:45a cleaner that cleans toilets nobody cares about you cleaning toilets or not at least i have my self
00:15:51respect i don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important
00:16:02i think there has been some sort of misunderstanding i think all jobs are important right mom
00:16:07ben what are you doing but i don't think that a a janitor should have some sort of influence over
00:16:13a deal as big as this a janitor well why don't we ask miss smith exactly how she landed that collaboration
00:16:23with shepherd you did claim to have been the one that secured the deal weren't you mr shepherd it's
00:16:31all a lie this woman laura she's just a gold digger trying to trick you i but well a lie you say miss
00:16:40miss smith i believe you mentioned securing this contract for harris syndrome but i don't recognize
00:16:46you is this true miss smith miss lewis has helped me on several occasions this contract was my way of
00:16:56showing my appreciation but the contract i mean laura tore it up so can't we just print another one and
00:17:04get this signing ceremony underway reprinted mr harrison perhaps you haven't been paying attention
00:17:10without miss lewis involvement i wouldn't even consider partnering with your company

00:31:09mixed up ian lewis mr lewis reassured me that today we would discuss well expansion plans
00:31:20expansion plans miss smith a decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval
00:31:26and frankly we haven't heard anything about maplewood branch but ian lewis assured me that
00:31:34miss smith we have a very important guest arriving soon perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting
00:31:39with one of our staff maybe i can stay for this guest and offer some miss smith we'd like you to leave

00:32:56maplewood branch for the lewis group she said that did she well miss smith is a liar there is no maple
00:33:04wood branch at least not yet she lied so blatantly it was it's unbelievable but don't worry i found a
00:33:12much more suitable partner shepherd group shepherd crew their rise to a public company has been
00:33:20impressive do you have anything to do with that so what happens now with this amber smith oh don't worry

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