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