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