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

00:43:00wake up will you

00:43:10you remember that soup you made me that meant the world to me
00:43:15whenever you get better i'm gonna make you that soup
00:43:21because it was your mom's recipe it was those little moments with you
00:43:28you know whenever we would wake up and come out of our rooms and see each other in the morning
00:43:34sometimes that was the happiest part of my day
00:43:45please come back to me
00:43:51this is all your fault mia you drove him to this you hurt him and now look what's happened to
00:43:59him
00:44:07mia we have a problem
00:44:10eleanor and alex are plotting to make alex the new ceo while joshua's in a coma
00:44:14now even joshua's father's been convinced so they're using joshua's condition to their advantage
00:44:19i won't stand for it what's the plan
00:44:22i'm meeting with mr lane he's a key shareholder of lane holdings his voice can sway their way
00:44:30thank you for agreeing to meet me on such short notice mr lane i've always been curious about
00:44:35the famous mia gerber after all you're the one who led gerber corporation to the next level
00:44:40you too i'm merely stating a fact not everyone in the second generation is as capable as you
00:44:47so tell me why do you want to see me is it about alex being the new ceo
00:44:53you're a wise man mr lane joshua's vision has been the driving force behind lane holdings
00:45:00we cannot allow alex to derail that i can't do anything at this time joshua is out of commission
00:45:07it's best to have someone lead the company
00:45:10gerald is not in good health
00:45:12after a stroke alex is the only choice and what if i told you there's another choice
00:45:21and what if i told you there's another choice
00:45:25i can be the interim ceo of lane holdings as joshua's legal wife i can uphold his legacy and as
00:45:33you
00:45:33mentioned before i'm a very capable ceo in my own right your vote of course is crucial but more than
00:45:40anything people trust your judgment if you choose to have faith in me others will follow and i promise
00:45:47i won't disappoint can you run two companies at the same time i have a very capable team over at
00:45:54gerber corporation they'll keep things running smoothly even if i'm not there full time i'll
00:45:59devote my time to lane holdings until joshua gets better what if he doesn't he will i admire your
00:46:08tenacity i'll do what i can thank you mr
00:46:29i'll fight for you joshua you did the same for me
00:46:38and we'll let you down
00:46:45given joshua's current condition i propose mia gerber as the interim ceo of lane holdings
00:46:53mia gerber she's from a different company who's she even qualified me as joshua's wife the legal heir
00:47:00she's proven her capabilities with gerber corporation combining the strengths of both companies
00:47:06and her leadership will only make lane holding strong this is absurd mia is practically a stranger
00:47:13to our company's operations while i appreciate your concerns i think my track record speaks for itself
00:47:21and unlike alex here who has had his hand in multiple questionable business dealings
00:47:27i offer a clean slate and a fresh perspective i agree with mr lane mia's appointment as interim ceo is
00:47:35the best course of action for now but dad stop alex
00:47:45joshua i hope you're proud
00:47:51let's go you can take over no consequences mia i'm gonna make her pay
00:48:00you won't be touching her who the fuck are you
00:48:08damn it she's caught take care of me
00:48:18see the security camera i'm gonna get the footage and if you ever try and hurt me again
00:48:23i'll call the police you'll never become a ceo of lane holdings ever
00:48:29god damn it
00:48:40thanks
00:48:49noah what happened don't worry i'm fine you're you're not fine you're bleeding
00:48:58are you okay

00:57:39we target gerber corporation's medical device supplier network disrupting what will cause
00:57:44significant issues in the hospital and psychiatric care units
00:57:49and we proceed melody healthcare has insiders inside their supply chain will start by creating delays
00:57:56and quality issues the fall will be immediate and devastating the resources stretch so thin

00:58:58company harper medical devices that's gerber corporation's biggest supplier right yeah
00:59:07excuse me excuse me you wouldn't don't worry joshua we're not going to do anything to me
00:59:12i'm focusing on my own path now
00:59:16goodbye joshua
00:59:32why are there so many canceled contracts with gerber corporation
00:59:36hey you haven't noticed any suppliers backing out of deals with gerber corporation
00:59:45there are rumors someone's been persuading them to cut ties with the gerbers
00:59:59hello
01:00:04what do you mean they've stopped supplying to us
01:00:18noah the suppliers are backing out for no reason
01:00:21it's competitive marketing yeah yeah but this feels coordinated isn't that unusual
01:00:27yeah it is so i'm gonna look into it
01:00:30hey are you okay yeah i'm fine just busy don't worry about me okay
01:00:45you look like you've been through a war zone what what happened it's the supplier crisis
01:00:51the situation's worse than i thought
01:00:56i don't know what to do joshua
01:01:00we'll get through this together
01:01:12thank you all for coming we understand your concerns and we're prepared to increase profits
01:01:19to maintain our partnerships
01:01:31now the offer looks good
01:01:34but we heard some rumors of internal issues within the corporation company
01:01:38involving a higher level
01:01:40let me assure you gerber corporation is as strong as ever
01:01:45these rumors are unfounded
01:01:57you're right there are gaps in noah's whereabouts
01:02:00we keep digging ethan we need concrete evidence
01:02:07mia noah might be involved with the issues at the company
01:02:11there's no way he's very loyal to the company
01:02:14although he has been acting weird lately have you ever considered he might have feelings for you
01:02:20i mean feelings make us do things no noah's a brother to me okay he's never even said anything remotely
01:02:27romantic
01:02:29actions speak louder than words i mean sure he's supportive and caring but that's just noah being noah
01:02:36i really don't think there's anything more to it
01:02:40sometimes the people closest to us surprise us the most

01:05:23noah
01:05:23noah
01:05:25what brings you here
01:05:27i think it's time for your company to reconsider its partnership with gerber
01:05:30i'm not sure what you're implying
01:05:32it's simple
01:05:34harbor medical devices is the biggest supplier for gerber corporation
01:05:38if you cut ties with gerber
01:05:40it'll deal a critical blow to them
01:05:45so you're the one behind the scheme
01:05:49why would i go along with it
01:05:51the question is why wouldn't you
01:05:53you and i are alike susie
01:05:56let's love people who don't love us back
01:05:59i've already let it go
01:06:01why let it go when we still have a chance
01:06:04if me and the gerber family are out of the company
01:06:06the lean family won the business alliance
01:06:09joshua and mia will get divorced
01:06:12you and i can finally be with them
01:06:19join me together we can make sure we aren't ignored anymore
01:06:26so mia we've heard smart suppliers are terminating contracts
01:06:30trust me we have the situation under control
01:06:33that's not what i heard
01:06:35the rumor is harbor medical devices is pulling out
01:06:38how do you explain this
01:06:39i assure you we're addressing the concerns but
01:06:42our relationship with our suppliers has never been stronger
01:06:46as one of the largest shareholders i have complete faith in mia's leadership
01:06:50these rumors are just that rumors
01:06:59the rumor was right
01:07:01harper medical devices decided to terminate the contract with us
01:07:04but there's still hope
01:07:06i've convinced harper to continue their partnership with us
01:07:11but only if i become the new ceo
01:07:14it's time for a change in leadership
01:07:16someone who could steer this company in the right direction
01:07:19so i've brought susie harper with me
01:07:21the acting ceo of harper medical devices
01:07:26susie will tell you all that she would like me to gerber to resign
01:07:33actually i think there's been a misunderstanding
01:07:37harper medical devices never intended to terminate our contracts with gerber corporation
01:07:41any rumor suggesting otherwise is false
01:07:47furthermore i believe in mia's leadership and the direction that she's taking this company
01:07:53thank you susie
01:07:55i owe you a big one
01:07:57you don't owe me anything
01:07:59i just know joshua and the person he loves to be happy
01:08:05promise me
01:08:06never heard him
01:08:10and i have evidence that noah bolani has been conspiring with former ousted executive duane kaiser
01:08:16to sabotage the company
01:08:20mr bolani your actions have endangered the company and everybody in it
01:08:54you're therefore terminated
01:09:00i've thought a lot about what happened
01:09:03and i wanted to say sorry
01:09:06i should have been clearer
01:09:08i didn't mean to lead you on
