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 meeting.
00:00:46Mr. Jason, excuse 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.
00:00:57But 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?
00:01:12What are you doing?
00:01:13You can't do this, you're just a cleaner.
00:01:15You can't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:17This is incredible.
00:01:19What's going on?
00:01:21The shirting attempt.
00:01:23It's failing.
00:01:24The price is holding.
00:01:27Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:33We met before.
00:01:35They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard Act.
00:01:38Hold on.
00:01:39Tell me.
00:01:40How could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:42If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:52Jason.
00:01:53Can we have five now?
00:01:54What are you doing?
00:01:55Mr. Yates.
00:01:56What?
00:01:57Only two bodyguards this time?
00:01:58You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:01:59No ma'am, I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:02:01Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:11Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:16Ma'am, I still don't know what you're doing.
00:02:18You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:19No ma'am, I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:02:22Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:26Mr. 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.
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.
00:03:00Ma'am.
00:03:02Ma'am.

00:15:12I think you're blaming the wrong person
00:15:16you were not good enough for Ben then
00:15:18and you're certainly not good enough for him now
00:15:20if you'd prefer to believe
00:15:22a liar's story
00:15:25then the truth
00:15:26Kathy
00:15:27consider this my resignation from the Harrisons
00:15:30from everything
00:15:36wait wait wait wait
00:15:37Laura
00:15:38you think you can just walk in here
00:15:39and you know ruin everything
00:15:40and then just walk out like nothing happened
00:15:41I don't think so
00:15:42you're a cleaner
00:15:43you're a cleaner that cleans toilets
00:15:45nobody cares about you
00:15:47cleaning toilets or not
00:15:48at least I have my self-respect
00:15:51I don't need a fancy title
00:15:54or
00:15:55a rich
00:15:56husband
00:15:57to feel important
00:16:01I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding
00:16:03I think all jobs are important
00:16:05right mom?
00:16:06Ben
00:16:07what are you doing?
00:16:08but I don't think that a
00:16:09a janitor
00:16:10should have some sort of influence over a deal
00:16:12as big as this
00:16:13a janitor
00:16:14well
00:16:16why don't we ask
00:16:17Miss Smith
00:16:19exactly how she landed that
00:16:21collaboration
00:16:22with Shepard
00:16:23you did
00:16:24claim to have been the one that secured the deal
00:16:27weren't you Miss Smith?
00:16:29Mr. Shepard
00:16:30it's all a lie
00:16:31this woman
00:16:32Laura
00:16:33she's just a gold digger
00:16:34trying to trick you
00:16:36I
00:16:37but well
00:16:38a lie you say
00:16:39Miss Smith
00:16:40I believe you mentioned
00:16:41securing this contract for Harrison Group
00:16:43but I don't recognize you
00:16:46is this true Miss Smith?
00:16:49Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions
00:16:52this contract was my way of showing my appreciation
00:16:56but the contract
00:16:58I mean Laura tore it up
00:17:00so can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:04reprinted Mr. Harrison
00:17:07perhaps you haven't been paying attention
00:17:09without Miss Lewis involved
00:17:11I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company
00:17:15today I want to make it clear
00:17:20Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future
00:17:25Miss Smith you lied to us
00:17:30you destroyed everything
00:17:32what?
00:17:33no it's a misunderstanding
00:17:35I can explain
00:17:36Lewis?
00:17:37Lewis family group?
00:17:39this can't be
00:17:40believe what you want Ben

00:17:47three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood
00:17:52and I'm sure you can ask them
00:17:54if you still have any doubts about who I am
00:18:00everyone listen to me
00:18:02Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison
00:18:06a man who can't keep his vows to his wife
00:18:09cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract
00:18:12the contract
00:18:13the charade is over Mr. Harrison
00:18:15everyone here deserves to see the truth

00:19:15we trusted you completely
00:19:17no no

00:28:51well Mr. Carter I can assure you this woman is a cleaner
00:28:55a cleaner? nonsense
00:28:57I personally greeted Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago
00:29:01exactly
00:29:03Lewis Group
00:29:05my company
00:29:07has some major investments planned here in Maplewood
00:29:10I was just here investigating potential business opportunities
00:29:13this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground
00:29:17she's been this way since my son divorced her she's insane
00:29:22actually I've met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop
00:29:26she helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group
00:29:30no it's a lie
00:29:33Mr. Shepard she's tricking you too
00:29:37you know it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them
00:29:43Mr. Carter would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?
00:29:47wait is that why you're covering for her?
00:29:50because of the affair? because she slept with you?
00:29:52excuse me

00:30:00this is Lewis Group property
00:30:02behave or I'll call security
00:30:04but she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access
00:30:07she shouldn't be here
00:30:08since you're having trouble understanding them
00:30:12let me make it clear
00:30:14this hotel is owned by the Lewis family
00:30:17it's mine

00:32:52appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch
00:32:55for the Lewis group
00:32:57she said that, did she?
00:32:59well, Ms. Smith is a liar
00:33:01there is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet
00:33:04she lied so blatantly, it was, it's unbelievable
00:33:07Bob, don't worry
00:33:09I found a much more suitable partner
00:33:13Shepard Group
00:33:14Shepard Group
00:33:15Shepard Group
00:33:17their rise to a public company has been impressive
00:33:19do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:22so, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:33:26oh, don't worry about Amber
00:33:30I've got plans for her
00:33:32for her
00:33:33ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
00:33:35Ms. Lewis

00:33:39your official invitation

00:33:48no, come on
00:33:49wait!
00:33:50I'm Amber Smith
00:33:51I'm the Lewis group manager of Maplewood branch

00:33:54yeah, that's right
00:33:55tell them who we are
00:33:56yes, we were waiting for Ms. Smith
00:33:57Lewis group
00:33:58Lewis group, Maplewood branch, no such thing ma'am
00:33:59and frankly, I'm not interested in your act
00:34:00oh, of course, Laura
00:34:03she's probably sleeping with the manager as well
00:34:04that's how she gets away with everything
00:34:05you underestimate her, Kathy
00:34:06she's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents
00:34:08no way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this
00:34:09careful with your words
00:34:10both of you
00:34:11acquisitions like that
00:34:12can get you in serious trouble
00:34:38look who can't even get into a meeting
00:34:40whilst I secure three
00:34:41with all the vice presidents
00:34:43and let's not forget the mystery guest that they're bringing to Maplewood
00:34:47looks like she used you and tossed you aside
00:34:49used me?
00:34:50unlike some people
00:34:52I don't mind being helpful
00:34:54you're so stupid
00:34:55she threw you away like yesterday's trash
00:34:58don't worry, Brian
00:35:00you deserve better
00:35:01and let's not forget
00:35:02I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis group
00:35:05appointed by the CEO of Lewis group themselves
00:35:08Ian Lewis
00:35:10new branch manager, huh?

00:35:25to the investment meeting
00:35:26only the top companies get those
00:35:29looks like you're all out of luck
00:35:31is that so?

00:35:37you see
00:35:39I'm not sure if you know
00:35:40Ms. Smith

00:51:25any kind of disrespect towards her

00:51:30Mr Shepard

00:51:33Miss Duke is a perfect match for you

00:52:00I've watched Chloe grow up
00:52:02she's like a daughter to me
00:52:04I won't allow her to be spoken to like that

00:52:30a ring on someone?
00:52:32do it
00:52:33or you can kiss goodbye
00:52:34all future investments

00:52:43you humiliate yourself

00:52:56interesting in me
00:52:57the truth is
00:53:02I wouldn't be here
00:53:03where I am today

00:53:15that there is no
00:53:16investment meeting without me
00:53:19interesting turn of events
00:53:22perhaps it's time we shed some light
00:53:23on your mysterious past
00:53:25do you
00:53:27actually think
00:53:28that just because you have the name
00:53:29Laura
00:53:30that you're the missing heiress
00:53:31Laura Lewis?
00:53:35one more chance Brian
00:53:36you're right Chloe
00:53:38how ridiculous
00:53:39is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:53:41i'm sure
00:53:42that
00:53:43the Duke family
00:53:44still values
00:53:45cooperation
00:53:46but
00:53:47wow
00:53:48did I underestimate your foolishness
00:53:50Chloe

00:53:55that's enough

00:54:10what kind of charm does she have?
00:54:12i want to be careful Brian
00:54:14don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis group
00:54:17are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:54:21the Lewis group
00:54:23isn't blacklisting anyone
00:54:24especially not
00:54:26Shepard group
00:54:31Lewis group RS?

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