00:00:00You're gonna be your father.
00:00:03What's she doing here?
00:00:05What do you think?
00:00:06No need to hide anymore.
00:00:08I'm leaving you.
00:00:10We're Catherine.
00:00:11Unlike you, I'm young and rich.
00:00:14I can give Bradley what he deserves.
00:00:16Catherine hired me to be vice president in her family's hospital.
00:00:19She's also way better in bed.
00:00:21What's that?
00:00:28She's pregnant?
00:00:29What?
00:00:30She must be faking it to trap you.
00:00:34No, it's me.
00:00:34So desperate.
00:00:36Give it back.
00:00:37Stop.
00:00:38Give it back.
00:00:39Stop.
00:00:39Stop.
00:00:39Stop.
00:00:39Stop.
00:00:40Stop.
00:00:40Stop.
00:00:41Stop.
00:01:00Stop.
00:01:00Stop.
00:01:05Stop.
00:01:06What happened to the baby?
00:01:11Is the baby okay?
00:01:16I'm so sorry.
00:01:19We've lost the baby.
00:01:24So sorry.
00:01:29We're right here, sweetheart.
00:01:31We're right here.
00:01:36I won't let Bradley and that woman get away with this.
00:01:45I'm ready to come back, Dad.
00:01:47Well, revenge won't heal the heart.
00:01:49This isn't about revenge. This is about holding them accountable.
00:01:52Are you sure you're ready for this?
00:01:54I've been preparing for years, Mom.
00:01:57Okay. But there is a condition.
00:02:01I have an important announcement.
00:02:06My daughter, Mia Gerber, will be the new CEO of Gerber Corporation.
00:02:11Is Mia ready for such a big role?
00:02:13I've been concealing my identity to go undercover within the industry.
00:02:16I've learned our competitors from the inside.
00:02:19Trust me. I'm more than ready.
00:02:23I'm more than ready.
00:02:25Furthermore, Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:02:32Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:02:38There is a condition.
00:02:39You're going to have to marry Joshua Lane, the heir of Lane Holdings.
00:02:44Mia's never even met this guy before.
00:02:46It's a strategic alliance, Noah.
00:02:50It's what's best for our families and the company.
00:02:53I'll do it.
00:02:57I'll marry Joshua Lane if that's what it takes.
00:03:01And this alliance will strengthen our company and secure our future.
00:03:07Isn't Joshua Lane thanks for being called the little Ruffles?
00:03:19That's what I heard.
00:03:20But I think it'll be good for the company.
00:03:22I don't think it'll be good for the new CEO.
00:03:37Joshua, I was hoping we could...
00:03:46Not interested. Get lost.
00:03:52Man, you are brutal.
00:03:53That's the fifth girl you've turned down tonight.
00:03:56Hey, I heard you're getting hitched to Mia Gerber.
00:03:59Why didn't you turn her down?
00:04:00This marriage is what my parents want.
00:04:02Couldn't care less about her.
00:04:04Oh, come on. She's the heiress to the Gerber Corporation.
00:04:06There must be some perks to her.
00:04:08Perks or not.
00:04:09She'll learn quickly that I'm not one to be messed with.
00:04:12Gonna give her a hard time, huh?
00:04:14Let's just say that she's got something coming.
00:04:27You, Joshua Lane, take Mia Gerber for your lawfully wedded wife?
00:04:31I do.
00:04:32Uh, the rings?
00:04:33You may now kiss the bride.
00:04:37Let's get one thing straight, Mia.
00:04:38Let's get one thing straight, Mia.
00:04:39Okay.
00:04:40Let's get one thing straight, Mia.
00:04:41Okay.
00:04:42This marriage is a show for our family and the rest of the world.
00:04:46Don't expect any affection from me.
00:04:47Understood.
00:04:48And vice versa.
00:04:49Understood.
00:04:50And vice versa.
00:04:51You may now kiss the bride.
00:04:52You may now kiss the bride.
00:04:56I'm now kiss the bride.
00:04:57You may now kiss the bride.
00:04:58You may now kiss the bride.
00:05:01Or to walk the bride.
00:05:02Yeah.
00:05:03This marriage is a show for our family and the rest of the world.
00:05:04Don't expect any affection from me.
00:05:05Understood.
00:05:06And vice versa.
00:05:07This marriage is a show for our family and the rest of the world.
00:05:10Don't expect any affection from me.
00:05:13Understood. And vice versa.
00:05:31My parents want to set up a dinner with us. My assistant will set it up.
00:05:35She can coordinate schedules with my assistant.
00:05:37Don't.
00:05:58Joshua has always been so distant with people.
00:06:04Unlike Alex here, who's so popular and charismatic.
00:06:09You should see a lot of a woman that can't stop chasing.
00:06:11Well, at least I don't have to worry if Alex can give me a grandson.
00:06:17But I wonder, Joshua, if you can even warm up enough to give me a child. We need an heir after all.
00:06:25Eleanor, that's enough.
00:06:28I'm just saying.
00:06:30Perhaps Alex is a better fit to lead Lane Holdens.
00:06:34Quite the contrary.
00:06:36Actually, Joshua's very passionate.
00:06:39Especially in the bedroom.
00:06:41No doubt that you'll have that... air... soon.
00:06:50For your information, passion is not in my DNA.
00:06:54Nor does it align with my personal brand.
00:06:56But still, thank you for standing up for me.
00:07:02I just didn't appreciate your stepmom's attitude.
00:07:05Get the campaign ready.
00:07:14Want that jerk out.
00:07:15Asa.
00:07:16Noah, hey.
00:07:17I need a favor.
00:07:18You're right.
00:07:19Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua.
00:07:20Blue Diamond PR is already involved.
00:07:21What agency are we using?
00:07:22We're still deciding.
00:07:23Bids are open for this year's contract.
00:07:25Perfect.
00:07:26I have a plan.
00:07:27I'm offering the Gerber Corporation's annual PR budget.
00:07:31It's one of the largest in the industry.
00:07:32So, I need a favor.
00:07:33You're right.
00:07:34Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua.
00:07:36I need a favor.
00:07:39Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua.
00:07:41Blue Diamond PR is already involved.
00:07:42What agency are we using?
00:07:45We're still deciding.
00:07:46Bids are open for this year's contract.
00:07:47Perfect.
00:07:48I have a plan.
00:07:49annual PR budget. It's one of the largest in the industry.
00:07:52That's an enticing offer, Ms. Gerber. What do you ask of me in return?
00:07:58I need you to withdraw from any campaign against Joshua Lane. I don't mind, I'll cover the cancellation fee.
00:08:10You have a deal. The Gerber Corporation account is too good to pass up.
00:08:15There's a little more. I need you to spread the word. Any PR firm that goes against Joshua Lane will be blacklisted from the Gerber Corporation and our allies.
00:08:27You got it. No one in this industry would be stupid enough to fight against the Gerber Corporation.
00:08:33Wonderful. Looking forward to a fruitful partnership.
00:08:38I have evidence of Alex's scheme against you. But don't worry, I've already taken care of it.
00:08:50I always knew Eleanor and Alex to be after my position. I just didn't expect Alex to be this bold.
00:08:56How do you know about this?
00:08:58Alex struck me as opportunistic. A smear campaign is the easiest way to sway the shareholders' opinion.
00:09:03And Eleanor's background in PR made this move predictable.
00:09:07You're more perceptive than I thought. Why are you helping me?
00:09:14Our family's alliance is crucial. Protecting you means protecting the Gerber Corporation. It's all business.
00:09:23Business, right. Well, in that case, I should help you with your beef with Katherine and Bradley, right?
00:09:29How did you know about that?
00:09:33Didn't expect me to enter into the marriage without doing background checks.
00:09:37I just don't get what the big deal about your ex is. I mean, he cheated on you. So what?
00:09:43She must be faking it to trap you.
00:09:48How dare you? You had no right to dig into my past like that. I can take care of myself.
00:09:58Watch this happen.
00:10:07To your new position as senior VP.
00:10:12And it's all thanks to my help, of course.
00:10:14Absolutely. You're my lucky charm, honey.
00:10:22Imagine if I'd stayed with Mia. Poor and powerless. That's all she ever was.
00:10:26She's a joke. A stepping stone at best.
00:10:30With you by my side, we are unstoppable.
00:10:32I'm gonna stop.
00:10:44Katherine's Hospital is resisting our acquisition. Bradley, as the new senior VP, is leading the pushback.
00:10:51Do they know I'm the CEO yet?
00:10:52No, as per your request.
00:10:54Perfect. Keep at it.
00:11:01Now how do I pull this off?
00:11:11There are gaps in Mia's medical record right after her breakup.
00:11:15These are from the Gerber Corporation's own hospital. Only someone higher up from within can access it.
00:11:21I want to know what happened to Mia during that gap. After the breakup.
00:11:31Even if I know, why would I tell you?
00:11:34Mia helped me. But unless I understand that part of the puzzle, I won't be able to return her fate.
00:11:40Do you care for her?
00:11:41You don't dislike her?
00:11:45No, Mia deserves someone who truly loves her. Not you.
00:11:50She's a grown woman. She knows what she wants. Nobody needs to tell her what she deserves. Especially not you.
00:11:56You can choose not to share the information. But you won't be helping her.
00:12:10Your choice.
00:12:11All right, look. If you have to know, unfortunately, we had a miscarriage because of an accident involving Bradley and Catherine.
00:12:25How are you feeling?
00:12:45Feeling.
00:12:47It's none of your business. Not that you would know what that means.
00:12:52I'm sorry for overstepping and being insensitive. I learned about your miscarriage. I had no idea.
00:12:59You didn't know?
00:13:01That doesn't excuse my behavior. I apologize.
00:13:05I may have overreacted.
00:13:08You were hurting. That's understandable.
00:13:10So you're not a robot. Like everyone says you are.
00:13:13Of course I'm not. Who says that?
00:13:16Everyone. Your family, your friends, your co-workers, enemies. I even heard the maids joking about it the other day.
00:13:25Bar them all.
00:13:27No, no. No, it's okay. They're allowed to joke. They've been doing a wonderful job.
00:13:33Besides, I think you should talk like this. It suits you.
00:13:40It's not funny.
00:13:41What?
00:13:42I...
00:13:44It's late.
00:13:47I'm calling it bad.
00:13:49Okay.
00:13:51Good night.
00:13:58Talk like this.
00:13:59Go ahead with the plan. Short the stock of Catherine's company. I want to see them bleed.
00:14:17Mia, you need to see this. The stock of Catherine's hospital has been shortened dramatically. They're on the verge of bankruptcy. Just a week? How is this possible? Seems like a coordinated attack. Someone powerful is behind this.
00:14:39Joshua.
00:14:42Joshua.
00:14:46Did you short Catherine's stock?
00:14:49Yes, I did.
00:14:51Why?
00:14:53Strictly for business.
00:14:55To protect our family's alliances. Your enemies or my enemies now.
00:14:59Thank you, Joshua.
00:15:00I just did what's necessary. Just like you would do. Now pay a little visit to Bradley and Catherine.
00:15:13Bradley, what are we going to do? They're taking everything!
00:15:17I can't believe this is happening.
00:15:20As of now, this hospital is under Gerber Corporation's control.
00:15:24Yes, the Gerber Corporation. As in my family's company.
00:15:28Mia Gerber? I thought you were Mia Whitlock.
00:15:31Whitlock was just a name I used to conceal my identity.
00:15:33You betrayed and hurt my wife. Now you're facing the consequences.
00:15:38I've resigned. You can't touch me.
00:15:40Resignation or not, Bradley, your career is over. I've seen to it that everyone in this industry won't touch you after what you've done.
00:15:47Mia, you know that I never meant to hurt you. This hospital is all that I have left. Please!
00:15:55That day that I fell, you stood there and watched. You made your decision then.
00:16:01Mia, can we talk? I know I hurt you deeply. I just want to apologize to make things right.
00:16:22Mia, I'm truly sorry about everything. I dreamt about you and the baby every day.
00:16:27I just couldn't bring myself to tell you this after the accident because I felt so ashamed of myself.
00:16:34Your apology can't undo what's been done, Bradley.
00:16:37I know. I just... I need you to know that I will always care about you deeply.
00:16:42You're really like they say. Tall. Handsome. Powerful.
00:16:56You know I can make you a very happy man.
00:16:59I do not engage with women who have no shame.
00:17:03Get your hands off me.
00:17:04Catherine manipulated me, but now I realize she's nothing compared to you.
00:17:10We could start over. With your family's resources, I could help you grow the business.
00:17:11With your parents again. Give us a chance.
00:17:12You know, if I wasn't 100% sure before, I could help you grow the business.
00:17:13I could help you grow the business. With your parents again. Give us a chance.
00:17:14You know, if I wasn't 100% sure before, I am now. You're a piece of human trash.
00:17:19Get your hands off me.
00:17:49Think about more to come.
00:17:51Let go, Bradley.
00:17:53Get the fuck out of here.
00:17:57Get the fuck out of here.
00:18:05I should have intervened before Bradley could touch you.
00:18:07It's fine, Joshua.
00:18:09Thank you for stepping in.
00:18:11Thank you for...
00:18:13everything.
00:18:15Yeah, I follow through with all my business plans.
00:18:19Right, yeah.
00:18:21The business plan.
00:18:23You know, you call me your wife for the first time.
00:18:27Don't look into it too much.
00:18:29Let's go.
00:18:31Actually, um, you know what?
00:18:33Now that all the revenge is done,
00:18:35I think I want to take some time alone.
00:18:37To...
00:18:39figure out my feelings.
00:18:41I understand.
00:18:45They've destroyed everything.
00:18:49We can't let them get away with this.
00:18:55What if we take Mia?
00:18:57A ransom would help us, but hurt Mia.
00:19:01Yes.
00:19:03Abducting Mia Gerber.
00:19:05Let's see how Joshua Lane reacts then.
00:19:07But how will we get to Mia?
00:19:09I know that she always goes to this one spot alone.
00:19:13From what I know about her,
00:19:15she must be there right now.
00:19:17She must be there right now.
00:19:29She must be there right now.
00:19:31She must be there right now.
00:19:33Oh, my God.
00:20:03Oh, my God.
00:20:33Oh, my God.
00:20:35You and Joshua will regret ever crossing us.
00:20:39Don't bring him into this, you bitch.
00:20:41That's for talking back to me.
00:20:58Look at you.
00:21:02Just as pathetic as the day you fell.
00:21:05Of course, I could have saved you.
00:21:08But why would I?
00:21:09You and your baby are worth nothing.
00:21:12Nothing.
00:21:18Joshua Lane?
00:21:20Listen up.
00:21:21We have Mia Gerber.
00:21:23You want her back?
00:21:24Get ready with a hefty ransom.
00:21:26I'll pay the ransom.
00:21:27Well, listen to me clearly.
00:21:30I will hunt you down and you'll wish you'd never cross me.
00:21:40Based on the footage from Mia's car camera,
00:21:43it seems Bradley and Catherine are behind this.
00:21:45These are the possible locations where Mia can be.
00:21:50This one.
00:22:00Mia.
00:22:04I've got you.
00:22:05Let's get you out of here.
00:22:17Let's get you out of here.
00:22:23Oh, stop, stop, stop.
00:22:51It's not worth it.
00:22:53Other matters have occupied my brain.
00:23:02I know that's not an excuse to forget about you, but I guess that's just life someday.
00:23:13I made you some soup.
00:23:32It's very unique.
00:23:35What is this?
00:23:36My mom's recipe.
00:23:38Before she passed away, she used to make it for me when I was sick.
00:23:41Thought it might comfort you.
00:23:44Must have made it wrong.
00:23:45It's wonderful.
00:23:47I don't know how to thank you enough.
00:23:50It's nothing.
00:23:52I just did what I had to do.
00:23:56Toshua, is this still just a marriage of convenience for you?
00:24:00Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Lane.
00:24:04A guest has arrived.
00:24:05Her name is Susie Harper.
00:24:07Susie's back.
00:24:08Oh, I've missed you so much.
00:24:24Susie, it's been ages.
00:24:27When's the last time we saw each other?
00:24:28Um, four years ago, before I went abroad.
00:24:32It's been too long.
00:24:34Welcome back, Susie.
00:24:35I came back just for you.
00:24:38Oh, there's so much...
00:24:39Hey.
00:24:41Uh, Susie, this is my wife, Mia.
00:24:45Um, Mia, this is Susie, an old friend of mine.
00:24:48So, you're the one Joshua had to marry.
00:24:52No, Susie, that's enough.
00:24:55Joshua and I have a special bond, you know?
00:24:59We've been friends since, like, forever.
00:25:02He means a lot to me.
00:25:04I want him to be happy.
00:25:06I think we all want that.
00:25:07Do you?
00:25:09Joshua and I talk often over the phone.
00:25:12He confides in me.
00:25:14I'm one of the few he truly trusts.
00:25:16He mentioned he was quite unhappy about the marriage.
00:25:20Right.
00:25:20Uh, well, it seems like you two have a lot to catch up on, so...
00:25:24I'll leave you to it.
00:25:31Susie, why would you say those things?
00:25:34I told you I have doubts before the wedding, not since then.
00:25:38Joshua, you're clearly unhappy.
00:25:40I was just speaking up for you.
00:25:42I don't need you to look out for me.
00:25:44I'm sorry.
00:25:46I'm sorry.
00:25:47I just...
00:25:49I was trying to help, since you clearly didn't want the marriage.
00:25:55I don't mind it, though.
00:25:57Do you like her?
00:26:00She's fine.
00:26:00This means I still have a chance.
00:26:06Joshua, if I had stayed by your side, you never would have had to marry a complete stranger like me and Gerber.
00:26:14I'm sure it hasn't been pleasant.
00:26:17Now that I'm back, you can always talk to me.
00:26:20Susie, you're a great friend.
00:26:22Of course.
00:26:24We'll always be there for you.
00:26:32How's it going?
00:26:35It's this marriage.
00:26:37It's Joshua.
00:26:38He's like a shadow.
00:26:39He's always there, but never really close.
00:26:42You deserve someone who can give you all the love and appreciation you need.
00:26:49Remember, if you ever need anything, I'm here.
00:26:53Thank you, Noah.
00:26:56How can I live without you?
00:27:01I can't live without you.
00:27:12I'll do everything to protect you, Mia.
00:27:29Joshua.
00:27:44We can't be like this forever.
00:27:46We have to talk.
00:27:49Why don't you talk to Noah?
00:27:51Seems like you have plenty to say to him.
00:27:53I don't even know what that means.
00:27:55There's nothing between Noah and me.
00:27:57You and Susie, on the other hand,
00:27:59What?
00:28:01Whatever you think, I don't care.
00:28:19What's he doing here?
00:28:22Look, I'm here to deliver some documents to Mia.
00:28:29And if you ever hurt her, just know that I will protect her at all costs.
00:28:40And what exactly have you done to protect her?
00:28:43Seems like all talk, but no action.
00:28:45What are you two doing?
00:28:49What's going on here?
00:28:50Joshua, why are you acting so abrasion?
00:28:51This is ridiculous.
00:28:53You invite him into our house just to talk to him?
00:28:55I didn't invite...
00:28:56Joshua!
00:28:57I'm sorry, Mia.
00:28:58I didn't mean to cause any rift between the two.
00:29:00It wasn't my intention.
00:29:02It's fine.
00:29:03Why are you here?
00:29:04I'm here to protect you and the company.
00:29:07I suspect that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare.
00:29:10Is that Dwayne?
00:29:15And the CEO of Melody Healthcare.
00:29:21This plan is our game changer.
00:29:25What about Melody Healthcare?
00:29:26They're our biggest rival.
00:29:28They're going in a completely different direction.
00:29:30We are way ahead of them.
00:29:31And how do you know, though?
00:29:34The CEO approached me the other day.
00:29:37He tried to get some information from me, but I flipped it and got some information from him.
00:29:41Like I'd betray my own company.
00:29:43It'd be a fool to think that.
00:29:45Right.
00:29:45Of course, Dwayne.
00:29:47Let's go ahead with the plan.
00:29:55See?
00:29:56He's fine.
00:29:58I don't know.
00:29:59There's something strange about him.
00:30:01I can't put my finger on it, but just keep your eyes open, okay?
00:30:06I will.
00:30:10Mia suspected, but I made her trust me now.
00:30:14Let's go ahead and move forward with the plan.
00:30:18Excellent.
00:30:19Once we execute the strategy, the Gerbers will be blindsided.
00:30:23Melody Healthcare will be the number one.
00:30:27Mia Gerber will be out of the company.
00:30:29And I'll be the number one.
00:30:38How did they get ahead of us?
00:30:40This was our strategy.
00:30:42Where's Dwayne?
00:30:43He's outside.
00:30:44Melody Healthcare just announced their new AI-generated online psychiatric care.
00:31:01The similarity of the details to ours is uncanny.
00:31:07I don't know.
00:31:09We kept everything under wraps.
00:31:11They must have developed this independently.
00:31:14Mia, you're just too young.
00:31:16You're not experienced enough in this business world.
00:31:19This stuff happens.
00:31:20I'm experienced enough to know that this is not a coincidence.
00:31:25And I don't need you to tell me what I do and do not know.
00:31:28You can move.
00:31:29Why do you look so sullen all the time?
00:31:46Doesn't look good on you.
00:31:49Wow.
00:31:50Thanks for the comfort.
00:31:55Damn it.
00:31:56Why did I have to say that like that?
00:31:59Ms. Gerber, an emergency board meeting has been called.
00:32:04What?
00:32:11We need to talk about the leadership of this company.
00:32:15It is clear that Mia's recent decisions, well, they've been questionable.
00:32:24Acquiring Catherine Finney's hospital was a big misstep.
00:32:28Now, Melody's health care is outpacing us.
00:32:32Mia, I'm sorry, but you're too young and inexperienced to be in this role.
00:32:37I believe under my leadership, our profits have already increased by 20% compared to last year.
00:32:44That's due to the overall market trend, not because of your leadership.
00:32:48My strategies have been more than effective.
00:32:52The Finley acquisition has potential long-term benefits, and our growth, by the way, is not just a fluke.
00:32:59This company, this company, this board needs a leader with experience and vision, not someone learning on a job.
00:33:07As a senior VP, on behalf of all the employees with Gerber Corporation, we support Mia.
00:33:13I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:33:18I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:33:27What is this? What are you doing?
00:33:30These are communications between Dwayne and Melody Healthcare.
00:33:33He leaked our strategy.
00:33:34You're fired, Dwayne. Effective immediately.
00:33:40I've been with you since you founded the company.
00:33:43All these years, I'm never the CEO, but you give it to your daughter?
00:33:46I've always known you were ambitious, but I never thought you would stoop this load.
00:33:51Your lack of trustworthiness is why you were never CEO.
00:33:55We built this company on integrity and trust.
00:33:59Values you clearly lack.
00:34:01Security, escort Mr. Kaiser out.
00:34:06Wait.
00:34:07D-
00:34:07Mia, we're so proud of you.
00:34:20You've really handled the crisis well.
00:34:23You truly are a go-go.
00:34:29No, I can't thank you enough.
00:34:31Of course.
00:34:32You know I'd do anything for you.
00:34:34You know, I never asked, but how did you get your hands on those documents?
00:34:39It all started with an anonymous tip.
00:34:42Someone delivered photos of Dwayne meeting with the owner of Melody Healthcare, and I intercepted the tip.
00:34:50This is your schedule for the week.
00:34:52And what's this?
00:34:53Um, seems to be about Mr. Kaiser.
00:34:56Okay, I'll take that too.
00:34:57Thanks.
00:34:58Thanks.
00:34:58Thanks.
00:34:58Thanks.
00:34:58Thanks.
00:34:58Thanks.

00:41:36Are you okay?
00:41:38I'm fine.
00:41:39It's just...
00:41:40It's for the best.
00:41:42There's something I need to tell you about.
00:41:44Listen.
00:41:45Sorry.
00:41:46It's the hospital.
00:41:47Hello?
00:41:48What?
00:41:50What happened?
00:41:51Is he okay?
00:41:53Okay, yeah, I'll be right there.
00:41:55What's wrong?
00:41:56It's Joshua.
00:41:57He's been in an accident.
00:42:06Excuse me.
00:42:07Excuse me.
00:42:07I'm here for Joshua Lane.
00:42:11Joshua.
00:42:18Miss Gerber?
00:42:20Yeah?
00:42:21We found that Mr. Lane was attempting to call you when the accident occurred.
00:42:26It's all my fault.
00:42:29It was nobody's fault.
00:42:31It was an accident.
00:42:32But right now, he needs you.
00:42:35Do your best to help him wake up, will you?
00:42:37I won't leave you, Joshua.
00:42:45You remember that soup you made me?
00:42:48It meant the world to me.
00:42:51Whenever you get better, I'm gonna make you that soup.
00:42:56Because I know it was your mom's recipe.
00:43:00It was those little moments with you.
00:43:04You know, whenever we would wake up and come out of our rooms and see each other in the morning,
00:43:10sometimes that was the happiest part of my day.
00:43:12Please come back to me.
00:43:27This is all your fault, Mia.
00:43:29You drove him to this.
00:43:32You hurt him.
00:43:34And now, look what's happened to him.
00:43:36Okay.
00:43:37Okay.
00:43:38Okay.
00:43:38Okay.
00:43:39Okay.
00:43:39Okay.
00:43:39Okay.
00:43:39Okay.
00:43:39Okay.
00:43:39Okay.
00:43:39Okay.
00:43:39Okay.
00:43:39Okay.
00:43:39Okay.
00:43:40Okay.
00:43:40Okay.
00:43:40Okay.
00:43:40Okay.
00:43:41Okay.
00:43:41Okay.
00:43:42Thank you for agreeing to meet me on such short notice, Mr. Lane.
00:44:09I've always been curious about the famous Mia Gerber.
00:44:12After all, you're the one who led Gerber Corporation to the next level.
00:44:16You too, Clay.
00:44:17I'm merely stating a fact.
00:44:18Not everyone in the second generation is as capable as you.
00:44:22So, tell me, why do you want to see me?
00:44:26Is it about Alex being the new CEO?
00:44:29You're a wise man, Mr. Lane.
00:44:32Joshua's vision has been the driving force behind Lane Holdings.
00:44:36We cannot allow Alex to derail that.
00:44:38I can't do anything at this time.
00:44:39I can't do anything at this time.
00:44:40I can't do anything at this time.
00:44:40I can't do anything at this time.
00:44:40I can't do anything at this time.
00:44:41Joshua is out of commission.
00:44:42It's best to have someone lead the company.
00:44:45Gerald is not in good health after his stroke.
00:44:48Alex is the only choice.
00:44:51And what if I told you there's another choice?
00:44:55I can be the interim CEO of Lane Holdings as Joshua's legal wife.
00:45:06I can uphold his legacy.
00:45:07And as you mentioned before, I'm a very capable CEO in my own right.
00:45:12Your vote, of course, is crucial.
00:45:14But more than anything, people trust your judgment.
00:45:18If you choose to have faith in me, others will follow.
00:45:21And I promise, I won't disappoint.
00:45:25Can you run two companies at the same time?
00:45:27I have a very capable team over at Gerber Corporation.
00:45:31They'll keep things running smoothly, even if I'm not there full time.
00:45:34I'll devote my time to Lane Holdings until Joshua gets better.
00:45:38What if he doesn't?
00:45:40He will.
00:45:42I admire your tenacity.
00:45:45I'll do what I can.
00:45:46Thank you, Mr. Lane.
00:45:47I'll fight for you, Joshua.
00:46:09You did the same for me.
00:46:14I won't let you down.
00:46:17I'll fight for you, Joshua.
00:46:17Given Joshua's current condition, I propose Mia Gerber as the interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:46:29Mia Gerber?
00:46:30She's from a different company.
00:46:32How is she even qualified?
00:46:33Mia is Joshua's wife, the legal heir.
00:46:36She's proven her capabilities with Gerber Corporation.
00:46:39Combining the strengths of both companies under her leadership will only make Lane Holdings stronger.
00:46:45This is absurd.
00:46:46Mia's practically a stranger to our company's operations.
00:46:50While I appreciate your concerns, I think my track record speaks for itself.
00:46:56And unlike Alex here, who has had his hand in multiple questionable business dealings,
00:47:02I offer a clean slate and a fresh perspective, I offer a clean slate and a fresh perspective.
00:47:06I agree with Mr. Lane.
00:47:08Mia's appointment as interim CEO is the best course of action for now.
00:47:13But Dad, stop, Alex.
00:47:15Joshua, I hope you're proud.
00:47:26Let's go.
00:47:28Ain't gonna take over, no consequences, Mia?
00:47:31I'm gonna make her pay.
00:47:35Won't be touching her.
00:47:36Who the fuck are you?
00:47:43Damn it.
00:47:44She's gone.
00:47:45Take care of you.
00:47:54See the security camera?
00:47:55I'm gonna get the footage.
00:47:57And if you ever try and hurt me again, I'll call the police.
00:48:00You'll never become the CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:48:03Ever.
00:48:04God damn it!
00:48:16Thanks.
00:48:16Noah, what happened?
00:48:25Don't worry, I'm fine.
00:48:27You're not fine, you're bleeding.
00:48:33Are you okay?
00:48:38Thanks, but the reason I came over was I wanted to finish our conversation with him before.
00:48:43Mrs. Lane.
00:48:44It's Mr. Lane.
00:48:45He's waking up in the coma.
00:48:49I have to go to the hospital.
00:48:52I just want to tell you something important.
00:48:52No, no.
00:48:53Nothing's more important than Joshua right now.
00:48:59Joshua, Joshua, Joshua.
00:49:01It's fucking Joshua.
00:49:06When you wake up, we can be together.
00:49:11Mia doesn't deserve you.
00:49:13But you and I, we're meant to be.
00:49:22Mia.
00:49:24Joshua, you're awake.
00:49:27Mia.
00:49:30Excuse me, miss.
00:49:31Mr. Lane?
00:49:36Mr. Lane?
00:49:38Mia.
00:49:39Can you hear me, sir?
00:49:40Mia.
00:49:41Call his wife, Mia Gerber, immediately.
00:49:44Mr. Lane, I need you to concentrate for me.
00:49:46Do you remember what day it is?
00:49:48Mia.
00:49:48Yes, we're getting your wife right now, sir.
00:49:57Joshua.
00:49:58I'm sorry.
00:49:59This is all my fault.
00:50:00No, Mia.
00:50:02Don't blame yourself.
00:50:04It's a price I was willing to pay.
00:50:06But you got hurt because of me.
00:50:08Mia, listen to me.
00:50:13I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused you.
00:50:17For not being honest about my feelings.
00:50:20I'm afraid to admit it.
00:50:23Even to myself.
00:50:24I can't hide it anymore.
00:50:27I love you, Mia.
00:50:27I've never thought I'd hear you say those words.
00:50:33You should have said them sooner.
00:50:37I love you too, Joshua.
00:50:38I love you too, Joshua.
00:50:57Noah Bellini.
00:51:06Drinking alone?
00:51:08What do you want, Dwayne?
00:51:09Just a talk.
00:51:10You are underappreciated, Noah.
00:51:15Maybe we could help each other out.
00:51:22Thank you for standing out for me while I was out.
00:51:25I heard you manage as interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:51:29I handled things.
00:51:31I actually have a business meeting later today with a potential partner.
00:51:35Who's the partner?
00:51:37Kevin Katz.
00:51:40He's a key player in the industry.
00:51:43Katz?
00:51:43He's notorious for being pansy with business partners.
00:51:48I don't like the idea of you two being alone.
00:51:51I can handle Katz.
00:51:53I've dealt with worse.
00:51:55Just be careful, all right?
00:51:57I will.
00:52:02I promise.
00:52:06Okay.
00:52:08I gotta go.
00:52:09I love you.
00:52:10I love you.
00:52:10Mm-hmm.
00:52:11I love you.
00:52:12I love you.
00:52:12I love you.
00:52:12I love you.
00:52:13I love you.
00:52:18So our collaboration will be mutually beneficial, especially when expanding into new markets.
00:52:22Absolutely, Mia.
00:52:24I've always admired Lane Holdings.
00:52:27Now with you at the helm, perhaps we can find ways to make our partnership more enjoyable.
00:52:36Mr. Katz, let's keep this strictly professional.
00:52:39Oh, come on, Mia.
00:52:42Don't be such a prude.
00:52:44Business is more fun when there's a personal touch.
00:52:50Don't you agree?
00:52:51I will not be doing business with people who cannot respect personal boundaries.
00:52:58You'll regret this, bitch.
00:53:01I could ruin Lane Holdings' reputation.
00:53:05Now you have one last chance.
00:53:07That's for being a disgusting pig.
00:53:23Hey.
00:53:24How'd the meeting go?
00:53:28Let's just say Kevin Katz won't be bothering us anymore.
00:53:31What did he do?
00:53:33I handled it.
00:53:34Okay?
00:53:35Let's just focus on getting you better and back in charge.
00:53:41Can I get you some water?
00:53:52Ethan, get the bodyguard and meet me downstairs.
00:53:55I can't explain right now.
00:53:56Just do it.
00:54:02Where's Joshua?
00:54:03Mr. Lane checked out.
00:54:05He insisted he was well enough to leave.
00:54:07No, he's not fully recovered yet.
00:54:13What are you trying to do?
00:54:15Teach you a lesson that you can't touch Joshua Lane's woman.
00:54:20Ow!
00:54:22You can't do this, Lane.
00:54:26I can sue you and you'll end up in jail.
00:54:29This is you, Mr. Katz, doing something quite illegal.
00:54:35I must say, your taste is really reprehensible.
00:54:38You can't sue me.
00:54:38You can't sue me.
00:54:39It was a long time ago.
00:54:42If I can still release the video, you'll lose everything.
00:54:45In fact, the victim's identity was protected, and they'll be set for the rest of their life.
00:54:55You!
00:54:55If you so much as speak a word about me or me, I'll make sure you wish you were born.
00:55:06Where were you?
00:55:07I was worried sick.
00:55:08I had to take care of something.
00:55:10About cats.
00:55:12I told you I handled it.
00:55:13I can take care of myself.
00:55:15I won't allow anyone laying their hands on you.
00:55:17Still, it's so reckless!
00:55:18It's okay now.
00:55:24You handled it?
00:55:25Yeah.
00:55:26I'm flattered by the jealousy.
00:55:30I really do love you, Joshua.
00:55:34I love you too, Mia.
00:55:38I have a surprise for you.
00:55:48I made something for you.
00:55:51What's this?
00:55:52It's your mom's recipe.
00:55:55I found it in a cookbook in the library.
00:56:00I can't believe you made this.
00:56:03I thought it might bring you some comfort.
00:56:11This is exactly how she used to make it.
00:56:16How'd you get it so right?
00:56:19I may have had some help from the internet.
00:56:21And about 50 practice runs.
00:56:28You're just the best.
00:56:33We have a plan that can ship the balance of power in our favor.
00:56:38Our plan didn't overthrow Mia Gerber and the Gerber Corporation.
00:56:43But this time, we will.
00:56:46I just, I don't want Mia to lose everything.
00:56:49I promise you, she won't.
00:56:51With the Gerber family's fortune, Mia's set for life.
00:56:55She just won't be the CEO anymore.
00:56:58Think about this.
00:56:59With the Gerber family out of practice, Lane Holdings, they won't partner with them.
00:57:05Joshua and Lane will probably divorce Mia because she's no use to him.
00:57:10Mia can finally be yours.
00:57:11Here's the plan.
00:57:13We target Gerber Corporation's medical device supplier network.
00:57:18Disrupting it will cause significant issues in the hospital and psychiatric care units.
00:57:23And we proceed.
00:57:25Melody Healthcare has insiders inside their supply chain.
00:57:29We'll start by creating delays and quality issues.
00:57:33The fallout will be immediate and devastating.
00:57:36The resources stretch so thin, they won't even see us coming.
00:57:41Congratulations on your recovery, Joshua.
00:57:49It's good to see you up and about.
00:57:51Thanks for coming.
00:57:53And thank you for, um, being there for me during the coma.
00:57:58It means a lot.
00:57:59But it didn't matter, did it?
00:58:03In the end, only Mia matters to you.
00:58:07Susie, it'll always matter to me.
00:58:11But, yes, I love Mia.
00:58:14I'll always love you too, but as a friend.
00:58:18That's not going to be enough for me.
00:58:20It's time for me to live my own life.
00:58:22That's why I'm here.
00:58:26To say goodbye.
00:58:28Um, what's your plan?
00:58:31I'm helping out my dad with our family company.
00:58:34Harper Medical Devices.
00:58:37That's Gerber Corporation's biggest supplier, right?
00:58:40Yeah.
00:58:41Susie, you wouldn't...
00:58:42Don't worry, Joshua.
00:58:44We're not going to do anything to Mia.
00:58:46I'm focusing on my own path now.
00:58:51Goodbye, Joshua.
00:58:52Why are there so many canceled contracts with Gerber Corporation?
00:59:11Hey.
00:59:13You haven't noticed any suppliers backing out of deals with Gerber Corporation.
00:59:17There are rumors someone's been persuading them to cut ties with the Gerber's.
00:59:23What do you mean they've stopped supplying to us?
00:59:40Noah, the suppliers are backing out for no reason.
00:59:56It's competitive marketing, Mia.
00:59:58Yeah, but this feels coordinated.
01:00:00Isn't that unusual?
01:00:00Yeah, it is.
01:00:02I'm going to look into it.
01:00:05Hey, are you okay?
01:00:07Yeah, I'm fine.
01:00:07I'm just busy.
01:00:09Don't worry about me.
01:00:11Okay.
01:00:12You look like you've been through a war zone.
01:00:22What will happen?
01:00:23It's the supplier crisis.
01:00:25The situation's worse than I thought.
01:00:30I don't know what to do, Joshua.
01:00:32We'll get through this together.
01:00:47Thank you all for coming.
01:00:48We understand your concerns, and we're prepared to increase profits to maintain our partnerships.
01:01:06Now, the offer looks good.
01:01:08But we heard some rumors of internal issues within the corporation company involving a higher level.
01:01:14Let me assure you, Gerber Corporation is as strong as ever.
01:01:19These rumors are unfounded.
01:01:31You're right.
01:01:33There are gaps in Noah's whereabouts.
01:01:35Keep digging, Ethan.
01:01:36We need concrete evidence.
01:01:37Mia, Noah might be involved with the issues at the company.
01:01:45There's no way.
01:01:47He's very loyal to the company.
01:01:49Although he has been acting weird lately.
01:01:51Have you ever considered he might have feelings for you?
01:01:55I mean, feelings make us do things.
01:01:58Noah.
01:01:59Noah's a brother to me.
01:02:01He's never even said anything remotely romantic.
01:02:04Actions speak louder than words.
01:02:06I mean, sure, he's supportive and caring, but that's just Noah being Noah.
01:02:11I really don't think there's anything more to it.
01:02:15Sometimes the people closest to us surprise us the most.
01:02:23Hey, just wanted to check in.
01:02:25We haven't had any time to talk lately.
01:02:27I've been good.
01:02:28I've just been busy dealing with the supplier crisis.
01:02:30I know, and I'm really grateful for you.
01:02:33You've done so much.
01:02:34I never wanted you to be burdened.
01:02:36I care too much about you.
01:02:42Hey, uh, I have a question.
01:02:47You don't secretly have feelings for me, do you?
01:02:54What if I do?
01:02:57Oh, uh, really?
01:03:04I've put this off for too long.
01:03:06And I need to tell you now, I've loved you since the first time I met you.
01:03:13I still remember that day like it was yesterday.
01:03:18We were just starting college and came to visit the office during summer break.
01:03:24We wore a blue dress and looked like a princess.
01:03:26I was just starting off the company.
01:03:29I come from a humble background, so I never thought I could be with someone like you.
01:03:34But not anymore.
01:03:36I'm stronger.
01:03:39And we'll keep going.
01:03:41I know we should be together.
01:03:44Noah, I've really only ever seen you as a friend.
01:03:54It's because Joshua's done things for you.
01:04:00I've done more.
01:04:02No.
01:04:03I love him, okay?
01:04:05We understand each other.
01:04:06Because you're both born with silver spoons in your mouth and I wasn't.
01:04:10You know it's not that.
01:04:13I just, I have a really strong feeling about him.
01:04:16I'm...
01:04:17Just not for me.
01:04:21Noah, I'm sorry.
01:04:24I didn't mean to lead you on.
01:04:27It wasn't my intention to hurt you.
01:04:31It's okay.
01:04:34I understand.
01:04:36I just needed to hear it from you.
01:04:40Yep.
01:04:45Dwayne, double down on the plan.
01:04:49There's no going back now.
01:04:57Noah, what brings you here?
01:05:01I think it's time for your company to reconsider its partnership with Gerber.
01:05:04I'm not sure what you're implying.
01:05:07It's simple.
01:05:08Harper Medical Devices is the biggest supplier for Gerber Corporation.
01:05:12If you cut ties with Gerber, it'll deal a critical blow to them.
01:05:16So, you're the one behind the scheme.
01:05:23Why would I go along with it?
01:05:24The question is, why wouldn't you?
01:05:27You and I are alike, Susie.
01:05:30How would we love people who don't love us back?
01:05:32I've already let it go.
01:05:34Why let it go when we still have a chance?
01:05:37If me and the Gerber family are out of the company, the Lean family will end a business alliance.
01:05:43Joshua and Mia will get divorced.
01:05:46You and I can finally be with them.
01:05:48Join me.
01:05:54Together we can make sure we aren't ignoring it anymore.
01:06:00So, Mia, we've heard smart suppliers are terminating contracts.
01:06:05Trust me, we have the situation under control.
01:06:07That's not what I heard.
01:06:09The rumor is Harper Medical Devices pulling out.
01:06:11How do you explain this?
01:06:14I assure you we're addressing the concerns, but our relationship with our suppliers has never been stronger.
01:06:20As one of the largest shareholders, I have complete faith in Mia's leadership.
01:06:24These rumors are just that.
01:06:26Rumors.
01:06:32The rumor was right.
01:06:35Harper Medical Devices decided to terminate the contract with us.
01:06:38But there's still hope.
01:06:39I've convinced Harper to continue their partnership with us.
01:06:45But only if I become the new CEO.
01:06:48It's time for a change in leadership.
01:06:50Someone who could steer this company in the right direction.
01:06:53So I've brought Susie Harper with me.
01:06:55The acting CEO of Harper Medical Devices.
01:07:00Susie will tell you all that she would like Mia Gerber to resign.
01:07:07Actually, I think there's been a misunderstanding.
01:07:09Harper Medical Devices.
01:07:11Harper Medical Devices never intended to terminate our contracts with Gerber Corporation.
01:07:16Any rumor suggesting otherwise is false.
01:07:20Furthermore, I believe in Mia's leadership and the direction that she's taking this company.
01:07:26Thank you, Susie.
01:07:27Thank you, Susie.
01:07:29I owe you a big one.
01:07:30You don't owe me anything.
01:07:32I just know Joshua and the person he loves to be happy.
01:07:38Promise me.
01:07:39Never heard of him.
01:07:40And I have evidence that Noah Balani has been conspiring with former ousted executive Dwayne Kaiser to sabotage the company.
01:07:54Mr. Balani, your actions have endangered the company and everybody in it.
01:08:00You're therefore terminated in media.
01:08:02It's quite the view.
01:08:26It's great to be here.
01:08:27I thought a lot about what happened
01:08:35And I wanted to say sorry
01:08:37I should have been clearer
01:08:40And I mean to lead you on
01:08:42I was lost, Mia
01:08:46My actions
01:08:48My obsession
01:08:49I'm sorry for everything
01:08:52We both made mistakes
01:08:57We're just glad we can put it all behind us
01:09:00You were a good friend, Noah
01:09:04You were more than a friend than me, Mia
01:09:07I've learned to let go
01:09:10I just want you to be happy
01:09:15I am
01:09:19I hope you find your happiness, too
01:09:22Take care, Noah
01:09:26Me, too
01:09:29Me, too
01:09:30We are gathered here today to witness the reaffirmation of vows between Mia and Joshua Lane
01:09:54Joshua, our marriage was out of necessity
01:09:59But you've become my partner
01:10:02My rock
01:10:03My best friend
01:10:06Mia, you've given me the gift of a real family
01:10:09I will vow to cherish and love you forever
01:10:12This is just the beginning of our forever
01:10:15You've been a Matter of
01:10:37And you've done so much
