00:00:00What the hell is going on here?

00:00:03What are you doing? You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.

00:00:06What I want is a simple life. With Ben.

00:00:12Divorce papers. Sign it.

00:00:14I was the one who got Bryan Harrison to give Ben that deal.

00:00:18Money is a motivator, isn't it?

00:00:20I won't sign.

00:00:22A million dollars. Take this.

00:00:25Shame on you.

00:00:27We are the Harrisons. You can't just walk in here and take her.

00:00:31Just get out.

00:00:36Because you deserve everything you do for work.

00:00:38Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.

00:00:45That's enough.

00:00:47I want to destroy Shepard Group.

00:00:49Now it's my turn to protect you.

00:00:52Well, you certainly do have your ways.

00:00:58Are you out of your mind?

00:01:00Give it to me!

00:01:02She has not survived.

00:01:08Are you ready to play a game, Bryan?

00:01:16Sir.

00:01:18Our stock is being shorted aggressively.

00:01:21We're about to hit the limit down.

00:01:23What the hell is going on here?

00:01:25Half of you came from major investment banks.

00:01:29Our stock is about to crash

00:01:31and you're telling me there's nothing we can do?

00:01:33Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.

00:01:37They're shorting us simultaneously.

00:01:39There is nothing we can do.

00:01:41Sir.

00:01:43What are our next steps?

00:01:46Well.

00:01:50Looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunchtime.

00:01:58Hey, this is a private space.

00:02:00Excuse me, ma'am.

00:02:02Could you hold on cleaning for just a couple of minutes?

00:02:04Mr. Shepard.

00:02:06Building a public company in just five years?

00:02:08That's impressive.

00:02:10But losing your cool over a little market turbulence?

00:02:15That seems out of character for you.

00:02:17Do I know you?

00:02:21Wait, what are you doing?

00:02:23What are you doing?

00:02:25You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.

00:02:27You can't be messing with our company funds.

00:02:29This is incredible.

00:02:31What's going on?

00:02:33The shorting attempt.

00:02:35It's failing.

00:02:37The price is holding.

00:02:39Boss.

00:02:41Our stock price is reaching today's opening value.

00:02:44We met before.

00:02:46There's still cleaning to do, Mr. Shepard.

00:02:48Hold on.

00:02:50Tell me.

00:02:52How could I ever repay you for this?

00:02:54If the opportunity ever arises,

00:02:56you could

00:02:58give your next contract

00:03:00for construction

00:03:02to Harrison Group.

00:03:08Jason.

00:03:10Can we have five now?

00:03:14Yes.

00:03:20Mr. Yates.

00:03:22What?

00:03:24Only two bodyguards this time?

00:03:26You're not going soft on me, are you?

00:03:28No, ma'am.

00:03:30I just thought you might like the script today.

00:03:32Now, listen.

00:03:34Everyone is waiting in New York

00:03:36for you to claim your inheritance

00:03:38as CEO of the Lewis Group.

00:03:40Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here

00:03:43I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret

00:03:45and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.

00:03:47Look, today is Ben's birthday.

00:03:49Anything we need to discuss,

00:03:51we can do at some other time.

00:03:53Ma'am, it really is time

00:03:55for you to accept your inheritance.

00:03:57Because what I want

00:03:59is a simple life

00:04:01with Ben.

00:04:03Ma'am,

00:04:05at least do me a favor

00:04:07and let Tabby walk you up to the house.

00:04:09For my sake.

00:04:13Divorce papers.

00:04:15Sign it.

00:04:21Why?

00:04:23You are not worthy of my son anymore.

00:04:25The Harrison Group is practically

00:04:27a local celebrity now.

00:04:29Especially since it's landed a $100 million contract

00:04:31with the Shepard Group.

00:04:33And you?

00:04:35You're just a cleaner.

00:04:37The truth is, Laura,

00:04:39I'm not a cleaner.

00:04:41The truth is, Laura,

00:04:43I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.

00:04:45I need a wife who reflects my status.

00:04:47I secured that $100 million contract.

00:04:49You?

00:04:51A cleaning woman?

00:04:53Handing out million dollar deals?

00:04:55Don't make me laugh.

00:04:59I did!

00:05:01It was my present to Ben for his birthday.

00:05:03I was the one who got Ryan Harrison

00:05:05to give Ben that deal.

00:05:07What are you doing here?

00:05:10Clearly Ben has found himself a woman

00:05:12more suitable for the Harrison family.

00:05:14Amber's family is practically local royalty.

00:05:16Local royalty?

00:05:18A small town rich person is royalty?

00:05:20And what qualifications

00:05:22do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?

00:05:24Your resume boasts supermarket cashier

00:05:26and dinner waitress alongside janitor.

00:05:28Doesn't it, Ben?

00:05:32What's going on?

00:05:34Is this why you want a divorce?

00:05:36Because of her?

00:05:39I've spent years building Harrison Group.

00:05:41You're still a cleaner.

00:05:43We just grew apart, that's all.

00:05:45Grew apart?

00:05:47No.

00:05:49I won't sign any agreement, Ben.

00:05:53I won't sign anything.

00:05:57Money is a motivator, isn't it?

00:05:59Ben?

00:06:01Alright.

00:06:03Here, $100,000.

00:06:05Open up a small shop or something.

00:06:08$100,000?

00:06:10I was the one

00:06:12that helped you make Harrison Group

00:06:14what it is today.

00:06:16Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?

00:06:18Don't be ridiculous.

00:06:20You've never done anything for Ben's success.

00:06:22This is our act of charity, Jordan.

00:06:24Here.

00:06:26A million dollars. Take this.

00:06:28You just want our money, don't you?

00:06:30Just leave and never see Ben again.

00:06:34I never expected my

00:06:37three years of devotion

00:06:39to end like this.

00:06:41Since none of you

00:06:43respect me.

00:06:45A cleaning lady threatening us?

00:06:47I'm so scared.

00:06:49Just leave.

00:06:51You already make this house stink.

00:06:59Thank God she's gone.

00:07:01Go to Redden's store.

00:07:04Sir?

00:07:06Laura Lewis' information.

00:07:10She's Ben Harrison's wife.

00:07:12No wonder why she

00:07:14wanted us to partner with them.

00:07:16Actually, sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.

00:07:18Divorced her?

00:07:22Wait a minute.

00:07:24Don't you remember?

00:07:26She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract

00:07:28three years ago.

00:07:30Yeah, she saved our hiding then.

00:07:33Remember?

00:07:35Why would Ben Harrison dump someone

00:07:37who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?

00:07:39I don't know.

00:07:41Let's get to the bottom of this.

00:07:45Hey!

00:07:47What are you doing? Let go of me!

00:07:49You attacked Amber. Apologize this instant.

00:07:55Stealing from the Harrisons.

00:07:57We gave you a generous divorce settlement.

00:07:59You refused it. And now you're stealing.

00:08:02She couldn't afford it.

00:08:04You're a thief!

00:08:10That's mine! Give it back!

00:08:12Hey!

00:08:14Laura?

00:08:16I want to say thank you properly

00:08:18for saving Shepard Group.

00:08:20It's really no worries,

00:08:22Mr. Shepard, but

00:08:24I'm just going through a divorce.

00:08:26You see, it's...

00:08:28Who are you, Laura's new squeeze?

00:08:30Excuse me. Do you know who I am?

00:08:32Is this true? You hooked up with this man

00:08:34while you were married to my son?

00:08:36Shame on you!

00:08:38Mr. Shepard, I...

00:08:40For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.

00:08:42I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.

00:08:44Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard

00:08:46wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.

00:08:48You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?

00:08:50That's really interesting considering

00:08:52I thought you were the one

00:08:54that secured that contract for Ben.

00:08:56That's ridiculous!

00:08:59Is that... my ring?

00:09:01Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.

00:09:03Hey, what are you doing?

00:09:05Laura,

00:09:07let's get you out of here. Now.

00:09:09Hold on a minute, Laura.

00:09:11Who the heck is this man?

00:09:13And have you been sneaking around?

00:09:15It's alright, ma'am. This is none of your business.

00:09:17I'll grab dead bodies.

00:09:19You're not going anywhere until I tell you

00:09:21what's going on.

00:09:23We are the Harrisons.

00:09:25You can't just waltz in here and take her.

00:09:28I go back.

00:09:30What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?

00:09:32That's a lie!

00:09:34Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura!

00:09:36You come back here and explain yourself!

00:09:38Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!

00:09:40Laura,

00:09:42does Ben even know

00:09:44you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?

00:09:46Let's just say that

00:09:48Ben underestimated me.

00:09:50I don't feel good

00:09:52about going through the signing event.

00:09:54After how they treated you,

00:09:57maybe we should cancel it?

00:09:59No!

00:10:01The event will proceed.

00:10:03Besides,

00:10:05I'll be there.

00:10:09There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.

00:10:11Who are you, truly?

00:10:13You'll find out,

00:10:15Mr. Shepard.

00:10:17Can you pull up over here, please?

00:10:23Mr. Yates,

00:10:26I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's

00:10:28business partners

00:10:30and we're going to have a meeting.

00:10:32An investment meeting.

00:10:34One week from today.

00:10:36Make sure

00:10:38everyone is there.

00:10:42Because after that meeting,

00:10:44I'm going to reclaim my place

00:10:46as the CEO of Lewis Group.

00:10:48Oh, excellent, Miss Lewis.

00:10:50I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.

00:10:52Ben Harrison,

00:10:55you're going to know exactly what it feels like

00:10:57to lose everything.

00:11:03After this ceremony,

00:11:05the Harrison family will finally be

00:11:07considered Maplewood City royalty.

00:11:09Only after then, my darling,

00:11:11we can get married.

00:11:13Laura, what are you doing here?

00:11:15Security!

00:11:17Get that woman out of here!

00:11:19We don't need cleaners at this event!

00:11:21Why wouldn't I be here?

00:11:24Business?

00:11:26You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.

00:11:28A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.

00:11:30Just get out!

00:11:32Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man

00:11:34to play mistress for.

00:11:36You should have taken my $100,000 offer.

00:11:38Oh, Ben.

00:11:40Do you really think you can sign this contract without me?

00:11:42Laura, this is really important for me.

00:11:44Do not ruin this, okay?

00:11:46You don't belong here.

00:11:48Just get out!

00:11:51Oh.

00:11:55That's what you get.

00:12:01This contract

00:12:03is mine

00:12:05to give or take away as I see fit.

00:12:07Don't be ridiculous!

00:12:09This is insane!

00:12:11Who do you think you are?

00:12:13Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.

00:12:15Security! She's lost her mind!

00:12:17This is a disaster!

00:12:20This contract was supposed to be

00:12:22my birthday present to you,

00:12:24but since you clearly don't deserve it...

00:12:46Laura?

00:12:48I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepherd Group.

00:12:50It's really no worries,

00:12:52Mr. Shepherd, but

00:13:12I'm CEO of the Shepherd Group.

00:13:14Oh, please.

00:13:17What if Brian Shepherd wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner?

00:13:19You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?

00:13:21That's really interesting,

00:13:23considering I thought you were the one

00:13:25that secured that contract for Ben.

00:13:27That's ridiculous!

00:13:29He doesn't look like that.

00:13:31My ring?

00:13:33Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.

00:13:35Hey, what are you doing?

00:13:37Laura, let's get you out of here.

00:13:39Now.

00:13:41Hold on a minute, Laura.

00:13:43Who the heck is this man, and have you been sneaking around?

00:13:46It's alright, ma'am.

00:13:54We are the Harrisons!

00:13:56You can't just waltz in here and take her!

00:13:58Harrison, compared to the Shepherd Group, you're nobody.

00:14:00Now go back.

00:14:02What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepherd?

00:14:04That's a lie!

00:14:06Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura!

00:14:08You come back here and explain yourself!

00:14:10Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!

00:14:37I don't know.

00:14:39I don't know.

00:14:41I don't know.

00:14:44Who are you, truly?

00:14:46You'll find out, Mr. Shepherd.

00:14:48Um, can you pull up over here, please?

00:14:54Mr. Yates,

00:14:56I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's

00:15:27what it feels like

00:15:29to lose everything.

00:15:35After this ceremony,

00:15:37the Harrison family will finally be considered

00:15:40a Maplewood City royalty.

00:15:42Only after then, my darling,

00:15:44we can get married.

00:15:46Laura, what are you doing here?

00:15:48Security! Get that woman out of here!

00:15:50We don't need cleaners at this event!

00:15:52Why wouldn't I be here?

00:15:54This is a business event, after all.

00:15:56Business?

00:15:58You wouldn't know business if it hit you on the head.

00:16:00A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.

00:16:02Just get out.

00:16:04Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man

00:16:06to play mistress for.

00:16:09Oh, Ben.

00:16:11Do you really think that you can sign this contract

00:16:13without me?

00:16:15Laura, this is really important for me.

00:16:17Do not ruin this, okay?

00:16:19You don't belong here.

00:16:21Just get out!

00:16:27That's what you get.

00:16:33This contract

00:16:35is mine to give

00:16:37and take away as I see fit.

00:16:39Don't be ridiculous! This is insane!

00:16:41Who do you think you are?

00:16:43Put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.

00:16:45Security! She's lost her mind!

00:16:47This is a disaster!

00:16:49Ben,

00:16:51this contract was supposed to be

00:16:53my birthday present to you,

00:16:55but since you clearly don't deserve it...

00:17:07I'm sorry.

00:17:23You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?

00:17:25You're so silly, Laura.

00:17:27Oh, please, honey.

00:17:29You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.

00:17:31Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.

00:17:33I was the one

00:17:36that started this deal with the Shepherds.

00:17:38And after careful consideration,

00:17:40I don't think

00:17:42the Harrison family is worthy

00:17:44of working with the Shepherds.

00:17:46You really think that the Shepherd group and I

00:17:48could be torn up by something that you've done?

00:17:50You have no authority here.

00:17:52Of course she has the authority.

00:18:00That's the man that Laura went with

00:18:02the other day. What is he doing here?

00:18:05How does he know her?

00:18:07Is that really Brian Shepherd?

00:18:09Laura, are you alright?

00:18:11Mr. Shepherd,

00:18:13I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.

00:18:15There must be some sort of misunderstanding.

00:18:17There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.

00:18:19This contract

00:18:21with Shepherd group is officially terminated.

00:18:23Effective immediately.

00:18:27Wait a minute.

00:18:29This contract, I thought you said you got it.

00:18:31It's her. She ruined the contract.

00:18:34You are his mistress, aren't you?

00:18:36An affair? She had an affair with

00:18:38that man behind my son's back?

00:18:40Mom, please, it's okay.

00:18:42This man is...

00:18:44Don't touch me!

00:18:46That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone,

00:18:48has an affair, and you just stand there?

00:18:50You're a disgrace.

00:18:52An adulterer. You deserve to be...

00:18:54Shut up!

00:18:56Mr. Shepherd, I apologize

00:18:58for this whole mess,

00:19:00but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.

00:19:03Tricked?

00:19:05Why don't you answer a question yourself, then?

00:19:07What was my name

00:19:09before we got married?

00:19:11Laura Lewis, right?

00:19:13Lewis group?

00:19:15The financial giants?

00:19:17There's no way

00:19:19a Lewis is connected to this.

00:19:21That's crazy.

00:19:23There's no way you're related

00:19:25to the Lewis family name.

00:19:27That's absurd.

00:19:29It's absurd!

00:19:32A high society heiress wouldn't waste her time

00:19:34in Maplewood.

00:19:36Yeah, it's a lie.

00:19:38This woman was a waitress when I met her.

00:19:40In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.

00:19:42She's nothing special.

00:19:44She only married me out of gratitude.

00:19:46I was just

00:19:48a waitress.

00:19:50How convenient for your story, Ben.

00:19:52First time I met her, she was indeed

00:19:54a waitress at the diner.

00:19:56Okay, listen up, everybody.

00:19:58When I met her, I'd only just started my business.

00:20:01Now look at me. I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.

00:20:03And look at her.

00:20:05Still just a cleaner.

00:20:07Mr. Shepard, that woman

00:20:09is my son's ex-wife.

00:20:11She's doing all this out of spite.

00:20:13She's lying, Mr. Shepard.

00:20:15She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?

00:20:19Let's make something clear.

00:20:21I was the one

00:20:23behind Harrison Group's success.

00:20:27I used my resources

00:20:30to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as

00:20:32was the maid.

00:20:34Don't lie. You were never good enough for Ben

00:20:36when you married him. Oops.

00:20:38That roof was built with lies.

00:20:40Kathy, you never respected me.

00:20:42And Ben?

00:20:44Dumping me the second you thought

00:20:46you were successful on your own.

00:20:48And the cheating.

00:20:50I think you're blaming the wrong person.

00:20:54You were not good enough for Ben then,

00:20:56and you're certainly not good enough for him now.

00:20:58If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story,

00:21:00then the truth, Kathy.

00:21:02Consider this

00:21:04my resignation from the Harrisons.

00:21:06From everything.

00:21:12Wait, wait, wait, Laura.

00:21:14You think you can just walk in here and ruin everything?

00:21:16And then just walk out like nothing happened?

00:21:18I don't think so.

00:21:20You're a cleaner. You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.

00:21:22Nobody cares about you.

00:21:24Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have

00:21:27my self-respect.

00:21:29I don't need a fancy title

00:21:31or a rich husband

00:21:33to feel important.

00:21:37I think there's been some sort of misunderstanding.

00:21:39I think all jobs are important.

00:21:41Right, Mom?

00:21:43Ben, what are you doing?

00:21:45But I don't think that a janitor

00:21:47should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.

00:21:49A janitor.

00:21:51Well, why don't we ask

00:21:53Miss Smith

00:21:56exactly how she landed that collaboration

00:21:58with Shepard.

00:22:00You did claim to have been the one

00:22:02that secured the deal.

00:22:04Weren't you, Miss Smith?

00:22:06Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.

00:22:08This woman, Laura,

00:22:10she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.

00:22:12I...

00:22:14A lie, you say?

00:22:16Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned

00:22:18securing this contract for Harrison Group.

00:22:20But I don't recognize you.

00:22:22Is this true, Miss Smith?

00:22:26Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.

00:22:28This contract

00:22:30was my way of showing my appreciation.

00:22:32But the contract...

00:22:34I mean, Laura tore it up.

00:22:36So can't we just print another one

00:22:38and get this signing ceremony underway?

00:22:40Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.

00:22:42Perhaps you haven't been paying attention.

00:22:46Without Miss Lewis' involvement,

00:22:48I wouldn't even consider

00:22:50working with your company.

00:22:53Today,

00:22:55I want to make it clear.

00:22:57Shepard Group has no plans

00:22:59to partner with Harrison Group

00:23:01in the future.

00:23:03Miss Smith,

00:23:05you lied to us.

00:23:07You destroyed everything.

00:23:09What? No, it's a misunderstanding.

00:23:11I can explain.

00:23:13Lewis? Lewis Family Group?

00:23:15This can't be.

00:23:17Believe what you want, Ben.

00:23:19Lewis Group will be holding

00:23:21a massive investment meeting

00:23:23later this week.

00:23:25Three of our vice presidents

00:23:27will be here, in Maplewood.

00:23:29And I'm sure you can ask them

00:23:31if you still have any doubts about who

00:23:33I am.

00:23:35Everyone,

00:23:37listen to me.

00:23:39Shepard Group will not be partnering

00:23:41with Harrison Group.

00:23:43A man who can't keep his vows to his wife

00:23:45cannot be trusted

00:23:47to keep his word on a contract.

00:23:49The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.

00:23:51Everyone here deserves

00:23:53to see the truth.

00:23:55Miss Lewis,

00:23:57shall we take

00:23:59this conversation elsewhere?

00:24:05Someone get a doctor.

00:24:07Help! Someone get a doctor!

00:24:09Mom!

00:24:11It seems your night has taken

00:24:13quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.

00:24:15Indeed.

00:24:17Perhaps it's

00:24:19best to leave them to it.

00:24:29What?

00:24:31What now?

00:24:33Mom, this is not all on me.

00:24:35Not on you?

00:24:37I was trying to help.

00:24:39She cheated on you with Shepard.

00:24:41Flaunted their affair.

00:24:43Exactly. And those dresses?

00:24:45Who could afford those

00:24:47on a janitor's salary?

00:24:49Miss Smith, how could you do this?

00:24:51We trusted you completely.

00:24:53What? No, no.

00:24:55I got Ben the deal.

00:24:57I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.

00:24:59She's a liar.

00:25:01Stop it, Amber.

00:25:03You lied to us just as much as she did.

00:25:05Lied?

00:25:07You're on my side.

00:25:09And anyways, I have a plan.

00:25:11The Shepards are no one special.

00:25:13We can expose Laura

00:25:15and all her lies go national.

00:25:17We can make ourselves a household name.

00:25:21Now if you'll excuse me,

00:25:23I have a very important phone call to make.

00:25:29Thank you so much

00:25:31for tonight, Mr. Shepard.

00:25:33Thank you as well for standing up for me.

00:25:35It's alright, Laura.

00:25:37You deserve the credit for all your hard work.

00:25:39Can I ask you something?

00:25:41What do you want to do tonight?

00:25:43Maybe a hotel?

00:25:45Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.

00:25:47I'll be fine.

00:25:49Excuse me, you can just drop me off.

00:25:51Actually, Laura,

00:25:53there is something else.

00:25:55Would you consider going out for dinner sometime?

00:25:57Just casually, of course.

00:25:59Mr. Shepard, are

00:26:01you asking me out?

00:26:03Please, call me Brian.

00:26:05And yes.

00:26:07Technically, you're single now.

00:26:09Yes.

00:26:11That may be true, but

00:26:13going out with a newly divorced

00:26:15ex-cleaner isn't

00:26:17exactly proper.

00:26:19Proper?

00:26:21Laura,

00:26:23I don't give a damn

00:26:25about appearances.

00:26:27Tonight, I saw your intelligence

00:26:29and your strength.

00:26:31Those are qualities I truly admire.

00:26:33So what do you say?

00:26:35Dinner?

00:26:37Just two people

00:26:39getting to know each other.

00:26:43I'm sorry,

00:26:45Mr. Shepard, I actually have another

00:26:47appointment tonight, so I can't.

00:26:49Wait, Laura.

00:26:51Just here is fine.

00:26:53Laura?

00:26:59Laura, who is it?

00:27:01Laura, wait!

00:27:03Jason,

00:27:05find out who owns that car

00:27:07and do it fast.

00:27:15Ian Lewis?

00:27:17Who is this?

00:27:19Mr. Lewis?

00:27:21I'm sorry for the late call,

00:27:23but I believe I have some urgent information

00:27:25about your family.

00:27:27I don't know who you are, Miss Smith.

00:27:29How did you get this number?

00:27:31Don't worry about that right now.

00:27:33I believe I know someone impersonating

00:27:35Laura Lewis.

00:27:37Someone I know very well.

00:27:39Impersonating my niece?

00:27:41And where is this

00:27:43fake Laura?

00:27:45Right here in Maplewood.

00:27:47And let me tell you,

00:27:49she's causing quite a scene.

00:27:51Well, what is she doing

00:27:53exactly?

00:27:55And more to the point,

00:27:57what do you want from me?

00:27:59In the next few days,

00:28:01you have an investment meeting, right?

00:28:03I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.

00:28:05All will be revealed then.

00:28:07Very well.

00:28:09I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.

00:28:11But be warned,

00:28:13if this is a waste of my time, I...

00:28:15It won't be.

00:28:17Trust me, Mr. Lewis.

00:28:19Thank you, Mr...

00:28:25That little rascal, Laura.

00:28:27Laura.

00:28:29I wonder what she's up to now.

00:28:33That car belongs to

00:28:35Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family

00:28:37bubbler.

00:28:39Oh. Lewis family.

00:28:41That's interesting.

00:28:43Could she be

00:28:45connected to them somehow?

00:28:47I'm not sure.

00:28:49Brian!

00:28:51There you are.

00:28:53I've missed you.

00:28:55What are you up to?

00:28:57Chloe, what are you doing here?

00:28:59What do you mean?

00:29:01Can't I visit the man I love?

00:29:03We ended things for a reason.

00:29:05It was just one teensy

00:29:07mistake. I was a little

00:29:09bit tipsy. Doesn't everyone

00:29:11deserve a second chance?

00:29:13Teensy mistake, you said? You cheated on me.

00:29:19Is this your new fling?

00:29:21Ex-divorcee.

00:29:23Used to clean floors.

00:29:25Quite the catch, weren't you saying?

00:29:27Look, my relationship

00:29:29with her is none of your business.

00:29:31And don't you dare

00:29:33talk about her like that.

00:29:35Please.

00:29:37An ex-cleaner turned social climber

00:29:39latching onto a wealthy businessman?

00:29:41It's a classic story. That's enough.

00:29:43I'll get the hell out of my office.

00:29:45You want to be careful, Brian.

00:29:47Juke industry still holds a lot

00:29:49of weight in Maplewood.

00:29:51If you want Shepard Group to stay afloat,

00:29:53you ought to be more careful.

00:29:57Seems like you've

00:29:59got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.

00:30:07This is it. The Lewis Group

00:30:09vice presidents are on the top floor. Once

00:30:11I'm done speaking with them, I'll have

00:30:13Ben's company rolling in business investments.

00:30:15I'll go speak with them first

00:30:17and then I'll introduce you.

00:30:19Well, well, well.

00:30:21Look who it is.

00:30:23What a surprise. Did Brian teach you

00:30:25already? That's

00:30:27none of your business.

00:30:29Now move aside, please.

00:30:31Laura, just what do you think you're doing?

00:30:33You street rat.

00:30:35You really think you can just ruin my events again?

00:30:37Haven't you ruined my life enough? Don't you have any shame?

00:30:39If you'll excuse me,

00:30:41I have an important meeting to get to.

00:30:43Oh, the nerve.

00:30:45After everything you've done, you think you can just

00:30:47toss in here and manipulate them too?

00:30:49Seriously?

00:30:51I think you need to reconsider exactly

00:30:53who's manipulating who here.

00:30:55Oh, that's gold.

00:30:57You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?

00:30:59Please. You're no one compared

00:31:01to me. You don't deserve to be here.

00:31:03The only ones

00:31:05who don't belong here are

00:31:07you three.

00:31:09And you, idiot.

00:31:11Believing every lie that she tells you.

00:31:13Wake up, Ben.

00:31:15Laura, come on.

00:31:17Why do you always pull this on me?

00:31:19Seriously, can't you just let me enjoy

00:31:21one of my events for once?

00:31:23I know what this is.

00:31:25So stupid.

00:31:27Shut your trap.

00:31:29Amber spoke directly with the CEO.

00:31:31He invited her to meet with the VPs

00:31:33before the main meeting.

00:31:35Amber got me a partnership

00:31:37with the Lewis Group.

00:31:39Unlike some people, I have a real invitation.

00:31:41Wow.

00:31:43Before you all start celebrating,

00:31:45why don't you take a look

00:31:47at this?

00:31:51Oh, that's rich.

00:31:53You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.

00:31:55I spoke to Ian Lewis himself,

00:31:57CEO of Lewis Group.

00:31:59Speaking of Brian,

00:32:01where is he right now?

00:32:03You mean my uncle?

00:32:05Ian, don't be ridiculous.

00:32:07Ian Lewis

00:32:09personally gave me this invitation himself.

00:32:11And besides,

00:32:13this looks fake.

00:32:15She's a liar.

00:32:17This is a personal

00:32:19invitation from Mr. Yates himself.

00:32:21It grants me access to the VIP elevator

00:32:23which leads straight to the

00:32:25vice presidential suite.

00:32:27She's lying.

00:32:29They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.

00:32:33Is there a special elevator

00:32:35for VIPs in this hotel?

00:32:37Not that I know of.

00:32:39See?

00:32:41She's lying.

00:32:43There you have it, Laura.

00:32:45Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.

00:32:47Go on, get lost before things get worse.

00:32:51Here, take this one.

00:32:53Leave me to the vice presidents.

00:32:55You have no

00:32:57idea what you just did.

00:32:59There

00:33:01be consequences.

00:33:03Besides,

00:33:05if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis

00:33:07that you claim to have,

00:33:09why don't you just ask him

00:33:11to get the two of them an invitation?

00:33:13Security!

00:33:15Security, we need this woman removed immediately.

00:33:17She is harassing me.

00:33:19We're done with your games, Laura. You're just a fraud.

00:33:21Ma'am, please...

00:33:23Hold on!

00:33:25Brian Shepard?

00:33:27You think money

00:33:29buys you the right to walk all over people?

00:33:31Well, it doesn't.

00:33:33Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it?

00:33:35What other plans do you have to destroy this time?

00:33:37Get you out?

00:33:39After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.

00:33:41Don't play dumb.

00:33:43We know exactly what's been happening here.

00:33:45How long has this little affair been going on?

00:33:47You've been sleeping with her

00:33:49since she was married to my son.

00:33:51Hold on a second.

00:33:53An affair?

00:33:55You think Laura and I...

00:33:57You people are unbelievable.

00:34:01Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP.

00:34:03We have a situation.

00:34:05What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?

00:34:07Is that it?

00:34:09Well, stick around and watch you crash and burn.

00:34:11Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.

00:34:13How can I help you this evening?

00:34:15Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.

00:34:17It seems

00:34:19there's a misunderstanding.

00:34:21These people don't think

00:34:23that I belong here.

00:34:25Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.

00:34:27A cleaner? Nonsense.

00:34:29I personally greeted Miss Lewis

00:34:31upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.

00:34:33Exactly.

00:34:35Lewis Group,

00:34:37my company,

00:34:39has some major investments

00:34:41planned here in Maplewood.

00:34:43I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.

00:34:45No.

00:34:47This woman doesn't know the difference

00:34:49between business and a hole in the ground.

00:34:51She's been this way since my son divorced her.

00:34:53She's insane.

00:34:55Actually, I met Laura three years ago

00:34:57at the coffee shop.

00:34:59Secure a profitable investment for Shepherd Group.

00:35:01No.

00:35:03It's a lie.

00:35:05Mr. Shepherd, she's tricking you, too.

00:35:09You know, it's exhausting

00:35:11trying to argue with people

00:35:13who forget who helped them.

00:35:15Mr. Carter,

00:35:17would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?

00:35:19Wait. Is that why you're covering for her?

00:35:21Huh? Because of the affair? Because she slept with you?

00:35:23Excuse me.

00:35:25Who are you, and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?

00:35:27Enough of this. She's right.

00:35:29That's enough. Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?

00:35:31This is Lewis Group property.

00:35:33Behave, or I'll call security.

00:35:35But she doesn't even have a VIP

00:35:37entrance access.

00:35:39She shouldn't be here.

00:35:41Since you're having trouble understanding, Ben,

00:35:43let me make it clear.

00:35:45This hotel is owned

00:35:47by the Lewis family.

00:35:49It's mine

00:35:51to come or go as I please.

00:35:57Thank you for stepping in, Brian.

00:35:59I owe you one.

00:36:01We'll talk about this later.

00:36:03Well,

00:36:05it seems divorcing a powerful woman

00:36:07wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harrison.

00:36:15Come in.

00:36:17Excuse me,

00:36:19Vice Presidents.

00:36:21I'm Amber Smith, general manager

00:36:23of the Lewis Group Makewood branch.

00:36:25I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today?

00:36:27Maplewood branch.

00:36:29Our records

00:36:31don't show any Maplewood

00:36:33branch, Miss Smith.

00:36:35Are you sure you haven't gotten something

00:36:37mixed up?

00:36:39Ian Lewis, Mr.

00:36:41Lewis, reassured me

00:36:43that today we would discuss,

00:36:45well, expansion plans.

00:36:47Oh! Expansion plans?

00:36:49Miss Smith,

00:36:51a decision like that wouldn't be taken without

00:36:53board approval.

00:36:55And frankly, we haven't heard anything about

00:36:57Maplewood branch.

00:36:59But Ian Lewis

00:37:01assured me that...

00:37:03Miss Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.

00:37:05Perhaps you'd like to schedule

00:37:07a follow-up meeting with one of our staff?

00:37:09Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer

00:37:11some local...

00:37:13Miss Smith, we'd like you to leave.

00:37:15If you don't, we'll call security.

00:37:17Hey.

00:37:19Stop there.

00:37:21This elevator is for VIP only.

00:37:23Back, please.

00:37:25Of course. My apologies.

00:37:31Laura?

00:37:35Vice Presidents!

00:37:37It's so good to see all of you again.

00:37:39Miss Lewis,

00:37:41it's been too long.

00:37:43Your return is a lifesaver, Miss Lewis.

00:37:45The Lewis Group has floundered

00:37:47under your uncle's, well,

00:37:49shall we say, unconventional leadership.

00:37:51The board are begging you

00:37:53to come back, Miss Lewis.

00:37:55Well, please sit.

00:37:57Yes, well,

00:37:59it is time for me to get my career

00:38:01back on track.

00:38:03We've got a meeting planned.

00:38:05A big one.

00:38:07In just a few days.

00:38:09Local powerhouses

00:38:11and smaller players, too.

00:38:13They'll all be there in one spot.

00:38:15Miss Lewis, we met

00:38:17with an Amber Smith.

00:38:19She claimed

00:38:21your uncle appointed her

00:38:23general manager of a Maplewood branch

00:38:25for the Lewis Group.

00:38:27She said that, did she?

00:38:29Well, Miss Smith is a liar.

00:38:31There is no Maplewood branch,

00:38:33at least not yet.

00:38:35She lied so blatantly, it's unbelievable.

00:38:37Well, don't worry.

00:38:39I found a much more suitable partner.

00:38:43Shepherd Group.

00:38:45Shepherd Group? Their rise to

00:38:47a public company has been impressive.

00:38:49Do you have anything

00:38:51to do with that?

00:38:53So, what happens now with this

00:38:55Amber Smith?

00:38:57Oh, don't worry about Amber.

00:39:01I've got plans for her.

00:39:05Miss Lewis,

00:39:07consider this your official

00:39:09invitation to the meeting

00:39:11from us.

00:39:13Cheers.

00:39:15Cheers.

00:39:25No, I'm not leaving.

00:39:27Wait! I'm Amber Smith.

00:39:29I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch.

00:39:31What are you doing? These are my guests.

00:39:33Yeah, that's right. Tell them who we are.

00:39:35Yes, we were waiting for Miss Smith.

00:39:37Lewis Group,

00:39:39Maplewood branch? No such thing, ma'am.

00:39:41And frankly, I'm not interested in your

00:39:43act. Oh, of course.

00:39:45Laura!

00:39:47She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.

00:39:49That's how she gets away with everything.

00:39:51You underestimate her, Cathy.

00:39:53She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.

00:39:55No way a girl

00:39:57like her could get into a hotel like this.

00:39:59Careful with your words.

00:40:01Both of you. Acquisitions like

00:40:03that can get you in serious trouble.

00:40:07Look who can't even get into a meeting

00:40:09whilst I secure three with

00:40:11all the vice presidents. And let's not

00:40:13forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.

00:40:15Looks like she used

00:40:17you and tossed you aside. Used

00:40:19me? Unlike some people,

00:40:21I don't mind being helpful.

00:40:23You're so stupid.

00:40:25She threw you away like yesterday's trash.

00:40:27Don't worry, Brian.

00:40:29You deserve better. And let's

00:40:31not forget, I'm the new Maplewood

00:40:33branch manager of Lewis Group, appointed

00:40:35by the CEO of Lewis Group

00:40:37themselves, Ian Lewis.

00:40:39New branch manager, huh?

00:40:41Interesting.

00:40:43Laura Lewis?

00:40:45What are you doing here? Get out of here!

00:40:47You claim to be the mystery guest?

00:40:49Don't play games, Laura.

00:40:51I was formally invited by

00:40:53Lewis Group themselves to the investment

00:40:55meeting. Only the top

00:40:57companies get those.

00:40:59Looks like you're all out of luck.

00:41:01Is that so?

00:41:03Then, there seems to be

00:41:05a misunderstanding.

00:41:07You see, I'm not sure if you

00:41:09know, Miss Smith, but

00:41:11Lewis Group is my company.

00:41:13And I decide who goes to the meetings.

00:41:17Escort them out.

00:41:19Their visit is over.

00:41:21Oh, come on. This way, please.

00:41:23I'm not leaving.

00:41:25Move. We're not leaving again.

00:41:27Move. Oh, no, no, no. We're not going now.

00:41:29Okay, fine, fine. This isn't over,

00:41:31Laura. You see.

00:41:35Thanks for waiting, Ren.

00:41:37Laura,

00:41:39I'm glad you're okay.

00:41:41And

00:41:43thank you for

00:41:45defending me. I

00:41:47really appreciate it.

00:41:49Um,

00:41:51are you coming to the meeting?

00:41:53Yes, but

00:41:55it's going to be tricky.

00:41:57Why?

00:41:59I'm

00:42:01sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.

00:42:05Yes.

00:42:07Laura,

00:42:09there's something you should know.

00:42:11Is

00:42:13this about Ben?

00:42:15Because I can assure you

00:42:17that he won't cause any problems.

00:42:19He won't even get past security.

00:42:21Laura,

00:42:23it's not Ben.

00:42:25It's someone else.

00:42:27Someone's causing

00:42:29problems for Shepard Group?

00:42:31Yes.

00:42:35Her name is Chloe Duke.

00:42:37She is daughter

00:42:39of the Duke family.

00:42:41She's my ex-fiancé.

00:42:45And, uh, let's say

00:42:47things didn't end so well between us.

00:42:49And

00:42:51well,

00:42:53let's just say we didn't end

00:42:55things so well.

00:42:57And for some reason,

00:42:59she's having a hard time

00:43:01moving on.

00:43:03And

00:43:05you think that she's going to cause

00:43:07problems at the meeting

00:43:09for...

00:43:13out of jealousy?

00:43:15There's a possibility.

00:43:17She's kind of jealous.

00:43:19Well,

00:43:21all the more reason

00:43:23for you to be there.

00:43:25Besides,

00:43:27I'll be there too.

00:43:29Laura,

00:43:33would you consider being my guest at the meeting?

00:43:35What?

00:43:37Are you worried that this Chloe

00:43:39is going to cause problems for me too?

00:43:41Maybe a little.

00:43:43But mostly,

00:43:45I want to show them we're a team.

00:43:47It's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.

00:43:51Laura,

00:43:57I don't care about your past.

00:43:59I just want to be by your side.

00:44:01I think I'm falling for you.

00:44:07Brian,

00:44:13I appreciate

00:44:15your honesty, and

00:44:17right now, I'm just not...

00:44:19I just don't really

00:44:21have romance on my mind

00:44:23right now, just with

00:44:25everything going on.

00:44:27It's okay.

00:44:29I just want to be up front.

00:44:31And if

00:44:33Chloe tries anything,

00:44:35you won't face her alone.

00:44:39There's just

00:44:41one thing I do need.

00:44:43What is it?

00:44:45A formal

00:44:47dress.

00:44:59Security!

00:45:01She doesn't belong here.

00:45:03This is a private store.

00:45:05Excuse me, we need some assistance.

00:45:07I'm looking for a very

00:45:09particular dress.

00:45:11Wow.

00:45:13It's beautiful.

00:45:15It is.

00:45:17I'll try this one on.

00:45:19Don't bother with her.

00:45:21She can't afford anything here.

00:45:23She's just a cleaner.

00:45:25She doesn't deserve to shop here.

00:45:27She has no money.

00:45:29Yeah, exactly.

00:45:31I mean, what are you doing here?

00:45:33Can't you just leave me alone?

00:45:35I wouldn't bat an eyelash

00:45:37if you just disappeared.

00:45:39Just only?

00:45:41Not some cheapskate like you,

00:45:43says the woman who barged into my marriage.

00:45:45Hey, show some respect.

00:45:47Oh, wow. Typical Laura.

00:45:49Just thinks she can buy anything she wants

00:45:51with someone else's money.

00:45:53I would have asked you, but without me,

00:45:55I'm sure you're already broke.

00:45:57Please. Come on, we'll take the dress.

00:45:59Sir, this particular dress is

00:46:01not for sale.

00:46:03What do you mean you don't sell it?

00:46:05I want it. Name your price.

00:46:07Ma'am, this one was custom-made

00:46:09for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress.

00:46:11The entire brand belongs to her.

00:46:13This beautiful dress is for

00:46:15display purposes only. Thank you.

00:46:17It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.

00:46:19What are you talking about?

00:46:21Of course it would suit her. It'd fit her just fine.

00:46:23And if it wouldn't fit me,

00:46:25it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.

00:46:27Well, buy in the whole store.

00:46:29Allow me to purchase this dress.

00:46:31Oh, please.

00:46:33Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?

00:46:35We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.

00:46:37Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.

00:46:39You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.

00:46:41Could you

00:46:43please tell me more about this dress?

00:46:45Of course.

00:46:47It was custom-made for Laura Lewis,

00:46:49heiress to the Lewis Group fortune.

00:46:51Hand-stitched in Italy,

00:46:53naturally.

00:46:55Apparently there are many more like it

00:46:57displayed in other stores.

00:46:59Apparently there are many more like it

00:47:01displayed in high-end stores

00:47:03and museums around the world

00:47:05from her private collection.

00:47:07Laura, do you like this dress?

00:47:09Of course.

00:47:11It's custom-made for me.

00:47:13I'm just here to take what's already mine.

00:47:15Oh, you can't be serious.

00:47:17There must be millions of Laura Lewis's

00:47:19out there in the world.

00:47:21Fine, fine.

00:47:23If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?

00:47:25It would look incredible on me.

00:47:27Miss, this dress is very delicate.

00:47:29If I may be frank,

00:47:31I don't think this would fit you

00:47:33properly.

00:47:35Are you calling me fat?

00:47:37Actually, on a second thought,

00:47:39why don't we just buy the whole brand?

00:47:41How's that sound?

00:47:43Sir, are you serious?

00:47:45You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?

00:47:47This brand is worth at least $50 million.

00:47:49And to buy it

00:47:51for a waitress?

00:47:53Are you out of your mind?

00:47:55Yes. You see, even if you had the money,

00:47:57they wouldn't sell it to you.

00:47:59Just one second.

00:48:01Yes.

00:48:03This is Brian Shepard,

00:48:05CEO of Shepard Group.

00:48:07I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.

00:48:09I'm interested in purchasing

00:48:11your high fashion brand.

00:48:13What?

00:48:17Sorry, sir.

00:48:19That brand is not for sale.

00:48:21You see, if we can't have it,

00:48:23neither can you.

00:48:27Mr. Yates, yes, this is

00:48:29Laura Lewis.

00:48:31I'm calling to discuss the sale

00:48:33of our high-end clothing brand to

00:48:35Shepard Group.

00:48:37Oh, come on.

00:48:39Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.

00:48:41Exactly.

00:48:43Come on, this is pathetic. You really think this is going to work?

00:48:45It's sad.

00:48:47Excellent. Thank you, Mr. Yates.

00:48:49That's all.

00:48:53Yes?

00:48:55What?

00:48:57Are you willing to sell me the brand?

00:49:01Awesome. Thank you.

00:49:07Hello?

00:49:09Yes.

00:49:11Wow. Yes, of course.

00:49:13Absolutely.

00:49:17The store,

00:49:19along with the entire company,

00:49:21has been sold to Mr. Shepard.

00:49:23The Shepard Group is the new owner.

00:49:25How may I be of service today, sir?

00:49:27Well, Laura,

00:49:29I don't know much about fashion,

00:49:31so I would like to give this brand to you.

00:49:33You can't be serious.

00:49:35You don't have the kind of money

00:49:37to buy this store.

00:49:39Don't listen to her, Brian.

00:49:41You two just go do

00:49:43whatever you do somewhere else.

00:49:45You're not welcome here.

00:49:47I want the two of these out of my store.

00:49:49I want the two of these out of my store.

00:49:53I want the two of these out of my store.

00:49:55Of course.

00:49:57You can't be serious.

00:49:59Sir, ma'am,

00:50:01I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave.

00:50:03Well, we're not leaving, okay?

00:50:05Hey, hey, hey!

00:50:07This isn't over, Laura.

00:50:09Could I try the dress on now?

00:50:11Of course, Miss Lewis.

00:50:13You just follow me.

00:50:19Wow.

00:50:21Miss Lewis,

00:50:23this dress really was made for you.

00:50:27Laura, you look

00:50:29breathtaking in this dress.

00:50:31Brian,

00:50:33why would you do all

00:50:35of this for me?

00:50:37Laura,

00:50:41because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.

00:50:45And that includes this dress.

00:50:49Will you give us a chance

00:50:51to see where things could go?

00:50:53I...

00:50:55I need a moment.

00:50:57Perhaps we could talk some more about this

00:50:59after the investment meeting?

00:51:01Does that mean

00:51:03it could be a yes?

00:51:05Maybe.

00:51:11Hi.

00:51:17Hi.

00:51:19What?

00:51:21Well, well, well.

00:51:23Look who decided to join the party.

00:51:25Playing dress up again, Laura?

00:51:27One more disrespectful remark towards Laura,

00:51:29Miss Smith.

00:51:31And you understand the meaning of rude.

00:51:33You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?

00:51:35For this?

00:51:37Miss gold digger.

00:51:39You know, Ben,

00:51:41I really cared about you,

00:51:43even after all the horrible things you said to me

00:51:45after our divorce.

00:51:47I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.

00:51:49Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood

00:51:51aren't equipped

00:51:53to deal with your issues.

00:51:55Enough!

00:51:57I've had enough of this drama.

00:51:59Yeah, me too.

00:52:01Try that again,

00:52:03and you'll regret it.

00:52:05I'll get the hell out of my face.

00:52:07Let's see if you two even make it past the door.

00:52:09Yeah.

00:52:11I'm sorry, Miss Smith,

00:52:13but your name's not on the guest list.

00:52:15What? That's impossible.

00:52:17I was invited by the CEO himself.

00:52:21Unfortunately,

00:52:23neither Harrison Group or Smith Group.

00:52:25Your name is on the list.

00:52:27Looks like you two won't be getting let in,

00:52:29after all.

00:52:31You don't have an invitation.

00:52:33You're just here because of Brian.

00:52:35Oh.

00:52:37Let me see this.

00:52:39This doesn't even look real.

00:52:41Brian?

00:52:43Why don't you ask her if it's real?

00:52:47This appears to be a VIP invitation

00:52:49from the Vice President.

00:52:51Please, right this way.

00:52:53We can continue this discussion later,

00:52:55if you manage to get in.

00:53:01Sir, Madam,

00:53:03we recommend you leave.

00:53:05No.

00:53:07There you are!

00:53:09There you are!

00:53:11How dare you steal my fiancé!

00:53:13Looks like another relationship

00:53:15lights the dust, Laura.

00:53:17Looks like stealing men

00:53:19is a hobby of yours.

00:53:21Get away from him!

00:53:23He's engaged to me!

00:53:25Hey, hey, hey. Hold your horses, Gwen.

00:53:27That ended a long time ago.

00:53:29Engaged to you?

00:53:31Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.

00:53:33Your relationship's history.

00:53:35That was just a little tiff.

00:53:37You really think that could tear us apart?

00:53:39Don't you know who I am?

00:53:41Don't pretend like you don't know.

00:53:43Oh, honey.

00:53:45She don't recognize royalty,

00:53:47let alone a duke.

00:53:49She's just a maid, remember?

00:53:51I don't have time for all this drama.

00:53:53Brian?

00:53:55Let's head inside.

00:53:57Brian!

00:53:59How could you choose this cleaner

00:54:01over me?

00:54:03Are you really going to humiliate me

00:54:05in front of all of Maplewood?

00:54:07There's nothing left to say, Glory.

00:54:09Don't make this a scene.

00:54:11Shall we?

00:54:17You okay, Miss Duke?

00:54:19And you are?

00:54:21Amber Smith.

00:54:23I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.

00:54:25What branch? I've never heard of it.

00:54:27What do you want from me?

00:54:29That Laura.

00:54:31She tore up my invitation.

00:54:33Can I come inside?

00:54:35What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?

00:54:37Please don't waste my time.

00:55:03If I can't have Brian,

00:55:05neither can you.

00:55:07The Duke family has more influence

00:55:09than you think.

00:55:11Chloe, good to see you.

00:55:13I've been expecting you.

00:55:15Uncle Jones, how are you?

00:55:17Good.

00:55:19I need your help with something.

00:55:21What is it?

00:55:23Anything for my little Chloe.

00:55:25It's Brian.

00:55:27Who's that?

00:55:29I don't know.

00:55:31It's Brian.

00:55:33Who's that woman? I thought you were...

00:55:35She's a con woman.

00:55:37She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.

00:55:39What?

00:55:41Are you saying

00:55:43Brian left you for a cleaner?

00:55:45She's pretending

00:55:47to be a Lewis to get close to him.

00:55:49What are you

00:55:51planning?

00:55:53I want to destroy Shepard Group.

00:55:57Anyway,

00:55:59I'm terribly sorry about Chloe.

00:56:01I had no idea she would be

00:56:03so...

00:56:05intense.

00:56:07What do you

00:56:09mean?

00:56:11You so should have taken her up on her offer.

00:56:13You guys are just...

00:56:15a power couple.

00:56:17I see what

00:56:19you're doing.

00:56:21Power couple, you say?

00:56:23More like a disaster

00:56:25waiting to happen.

00:56:27Anyway,

00:56:29shall we take a seat?

00:56:31Actually, Brian, my seat

00:56:33is...

00:56:35up there.

00:56:37Really?

00:56:39She doesn't deserve to sit there.

00:56:41Excuse me?

00:56:43This is my VIP invitation.

00:56:45I can sit wherever I like.

00:56:47Hey, what do you think you're doing?

00:56:49This is signed by all three

00:56:51VPs of Lewis Group.

00:56:53Where did you get this?

00:56:55You don't have to sleep with.

00:56:57That's enough.

00:56:59This is getting us nowhere.

00:57:01Laura is my guest,

00:57:03and I will not tolerate

00:57:05any kind of disrespect

00:57:07towards her. Got it?

00:57:09Mr. Shepard,

00:57:11what do you see in that woman?

00:57:13Miss Duke is a perfect

00:57:15match for you. She's from a good family,

00:57:17beautiful,

00:57:19and successful.

00:57:21What more could you ask for?

00:57:23Passion.

00:57:25Not much, actually.

00:57:27Honesty.

00:57:29That's what I want.

00:57:31And love.

00:57:33Things that clearly Chloe has

00:57:35no idea.

00:57:37I said I was sorry.

00:57:39What more do you want?

00:57:41I've watched Chloe grow up.

00:57:43She's like a daughter to me.

00:57:45I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.

00:57:48One more chance, Brian.

00:57:50Let's forget all this nonsense.

00:57:52Do it,

00:57:54Mrs. Shepard.

00:57:56Propose, right here, right now.

00:57:58Brian?

00:58:00Well,

00:58:02is this how the Duke family

00:58:04handles business deals?

00:58:06By forcing

00:58:08a ring on someone?

00:58:10Do it, or you can kiss goodbye

00:58:12all future investments with the Duke family.

00:58:15Don't you dare.

00:58:17You're humiliating yourself.

00:58:19How dare you?

00:58:21Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?

00:58:23Yes.

00:58:25I like her.

00:58:27But I can't imagine

00:58:29someone like her interested in me.

00:58:33The truth is,

00:58:35I wouldn't be here, where I am today,

00:58:37without her.

00:58:39She's my wife.

00:58:41She's my daughter.

00:58:43Without her.

00:58:45Why would you choose someone like her?

00:58:47Exactly.

00:58:49This woman is trouble.

00:58:51She doesn't belong here.

00:58:53Throw her out.

00:58:55You do realize that there is no

00:58:57investment meeting without me.

00:58:59Interesting turn of events.

00:59:01Perhaps it's time we shed some light

00:59:03on your mysterious past.

00:59:05Do you actually think

00:59:07that just because you have the name Laura

00:59:09that you're the missing heiress,

00:59:12You know what?

00:59:14Maybe you're right, Chloe.

00:59:16Ridiculous.

00:59:18Is that what you've been telling everyone?

00:59:20I'm sure that the Duke family

00:59:22still values cooperation,

00:59:24but wow.

00:59:26Did I underestimate

00:59:28your foolishness, Chloe?

00:59:30You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.

00:59:32That's enough.

00:59:34You don't get to talk here.

00:59:36You got mad, Shepard.

00:59:38You dared to go against Miss Duke.

00:59:40And to everyone else here.

00:59:42Anyone who insults Laura

00:59:44leaves with a black eye.

00:59:46He's willing to defend the Duke for her.

00:59:48What kind of charm does she have?

00:59:50I want to be careful, Brian.

00:59:52Don't forget that this entire hotel chain

00:59:54is owned by the Lewis Group.

00:59:56Are you willing to get blacklisted

00:59:58for this public tantrum?

01:00:00The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone.

01:00:02Especially not

01:00:04Shepard Group.

01:00:06Lewis Group?

01:00:08Lewis Group RS?

01:00:10You?

01:00:12Don't make me laugh.

01:00:14Security,

01:00:16remove these two impostors from the premises.

01:00:18Wait, Uncle Jones.

01:00:20Give Brian another chance.

01:00:22Choose, Brian.

01:00:24Me and the future you deserve

01:00:26or this fraud.

01:00:28Chloe,

01:00:30I have everything

01:00:32I ever wanted

01:00:34right here

01:00:36in a wooden trade for all the power

01:00:38the Dukes hold in Maplewood.

01:00:40Fine.

01:00:46Short the stock of the Shepard Group.

01:00:48What?

01:00:50You forced my hand, Brian.

01:00:52Now Shepard Group is ruined.

01:00:54The Duke family,

01:00:56they can't be serious.

01:00:58Shepard Group is doomed.

01:01:00Brian, you don't have to do this for me.

01:01:02Laura,

01:01:04I will never let anyone

01:01:06bully you, let alone them.

01:01:08Thank you,

01:01:10Brian, for

01:01:12believing in me,

01:01:14for protecting me.

01:01:16Now it's my turn

01:01:18to protect you.

01:01:26Listen carefully.

01:01:28I need you to protect

01:01:30the Shepard Group stock

01:01:32at all costs.

01:01:34Don't let it drop

01:01:36even one cent.

01:01:38Do you understand?

01:01:40Wow.

01:01:42Award-winning performance, Laura.

01:01:44But you can't possibly control

01:01:46the stock market.

01:01:48Want to put your money where your mouth is,

01:01:50Chloe?

01:01:52If

01:01:54the Shepard stock holds

01:01:56for the next

01:01:58five minutes,

01:02:00you owe me

01:02:02a public apology.

01:02:08Deal.

01:02:12Well,

01:02:14looks like your five

01:02:16minutes is up.

01:02:18Let's see how the Shepard stock

01:02:20is doing.

01:02:24What the?

01:02:26The Shepard Group stock price

01:02:28is going up.

01:02:30This can't be happening. It must be a coincidence.

01:02:38Why didn't you short the stock

01:02:40like I asked?

01:02:42There was a huge investment. We couldn't compete.

01:02:44Shepard's stock price is being heavily

01:02:46supported.

01:02:48How did you do this?

01:02:50Like I said, Chloe,

01:02:52I'm

01:02:54Laura Lewis.

01:02:56No, you're not. You're just some

01:02:58cleaner. You don't have access to billions.

01:03:00Well,

01:03:02I think it's time for my

01:03:04apology.

01:03:08No.

01:03:10I think it's time

01:03:12for my apology. There is no way I'm

01:03:14apologizing to you.

01:03:16If things were the other way, would you be so quick

01:03:18to forgive me, Chloe?

01:03:20The truth is

01:03:22everyone here

01:03:24has seen you be a bully

01:03:26and a coward

01:03:28and now

01:03:30a sore loser.

01:03:32This is so

01:03:34humiliating for her.

01:03:36How did she manage that?

01:03:38Maybe she really is a Lewis.

01:03:40Apologize to Miss Lewis.

01:03:42Shut up.

01:03:44Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.

01:03:46Don't forget,

01:03:48the Duke family own half of Maplewood.

01:03:50They don't deserve us.

01:03:52Let's get out of here.

01:03:54Hold on.

01:03:56This

01:03:58is where I belong.

01:04:00And that

01:04:02is my chair.

01:04:04You can't go there. That is the VIP

01:04:06section. Only those invited

01:04:08by the Lewis Group vice presidents

01:04:10get to sit there.

01:04:12Like I said, Chloe,

01:04:14that's my seat.

01:04:20Heard a rumour floating

01:04:22around a few days ago. Seems

01:04:24Miss Lewis caused quite a scene

01:04:26at a signing ceremony

01:04:28between her ex and

01:04:30Mr Shepherd, wasn't it?

01:04:32Are you planning another outburst, Laura?

01:04:34Is this how you charm all your men?

01:04:36Shall we?

01:04:38My pleasure.

01:04:40What are you doing?

01:04:42Chloe, let go.

01:04:44It doesn't matter what happened. I choose to stay

01:04:46by Laura's side.

01:04:48Let's go.

01:04:50Don't be absurd. That seat is

01:04:52reserved for a very important guest.

01:04:54Someone

01:04:56so esteemed, even the vice

01:04:58presidents have to bow low.

01:05:00And

01:05:02how

01:05:04exactly, Mr Jones?

01:05:06Are you so sure

01:05:08that I'm not that

01:05:10esteemed guest? Wait, that's

01:05:12Peter Young, director of business affairs

01:05:14at Lewis Group.

01:05:18Oh, it's Peter Young.

01:05:20He decides which investors... It's Young. It's Chloe

01:05:22Duke, head of Duke Industries.

01:05:24So glad you could join us. Why is everyone standing

01:05:26around? It's her.

01:05:28She's making a huge scene, trying to claim the

01:05:30VIP seat. It's embarrassing.

01:05:32That seat's reserved for the

01:05:34Lewis Group VIP guest.

01:05:36Specifically the family heir.

01:05:38Please get off the stage.

01:05:40Oh, yes.

01:05:42Mr Young, was it?

01:05:44I think I remember you. You manage

01:05:46my family's

01:05:48investments.

01:05:50Don't pretend like you know what's going on.

01:05:52Please get off the stage.

01:05:54That seat's reserved for the Lewis family

01:05:56heir. I need to make one

01:05:58thing crystal

01:06:00clear.

01:06:04I

01:06:06am the heir

01:06:08of the Lewis family.

01:06:12This is ridiculous.

01:06:14Who? The Lewis heir.

01:06:16Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?

01:06:18You must be out of your mind

01:06:20trusting a complete stranger like this.

01:06:22Exactly. We ran a background

01:06:24check on her, and turns out she's

01:06:26just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison

01:06:28Group. Before that,

01:06:30I could see her in my family's supermarkets.

01:06:32See, Brian?

01:06:34This is who you've been chasing after.

01:06:36A liar and a cheat. Security.

01:06:38Get this imposter out of

01:06:40here. And everyone here is a witness.

01:06:42Why would any of you

01:06:44trust Laura? If

01:06:46any of you dares to harm

01:06:48her, you have to go

01:06:50through me first.

01:06:52Brian, she's just some nobody.

01:06:54She's just someone that the

01:06:56Harrison Group ditched.

01:06:58They didn't even want her. What exactly

01:07:00do you see in her? Escort this

01:07:02imposter out of here. Now.

01:07:04I'm Peter.

01:07:12Peter,

01:07:14do you have any idea what you're doing?

01:07:16Mr. Yates,

01:07:18I'm so glad you could join us.

01:07:20Miss

01:07:22Lewis, sorry about the delay

01:07:24and for all the trouble you've had

01:07:26to put up with. It's

01:07:28no trouble, Mr. Yates.

01:07:30Luckily, I haven't been alone.

01:07:32I've had the great company of

01:07:34my very loyal

01:07:36friend.

01:07:38Wait a minute. She's Miss

01:07:40Lewis. Is this a joke?

01:07:42Mr. Young, you're new

01:07:44to the Lewis Group, so

01:07:46I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss

01:07:48Lewis. But you listened

01:07:50to lies without checking the facts

01:07:52and almost

01:07:54called the police.

01:07:56Tell me,

01:07:58Mr. Young, who put you up

01:08:00to this? Was it my uncle,

01:08:02Ian Lewis?

01:08:06I knew it.

01:08:10Consider this your

01:08:12termination.

01:08:14I get it now. This is all an act.

01:08:16Right? Chloe, what are you

01:08:18doing? We still want to work with the Lewis family.

01:08:20Work with them? Are you blind?

01:08:22This woman is clearly having an affair with this old

01:08:24man. That's enough,

01:08:26young lady. You've got no

01:08:28right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.

01:08:32Oh, Chloe. I can't believe

01:08:34we're going through this again. I think

01:08:36you need some professional

01:08:38help. Maybe I could make you an

01:08:40appointment with a great psychiatrist. Chloe,

01:08:42that's enough.

01:08:44It's ridiculous. If you were really the Lewis family

01:08:46heir, you would have the ring. So

01:08:48why don't you show it to everyone? Show us the

01:08:50ring!

01:08:54Why don't you show that to everyone?

01:08:56Show us the ring!

01:08:58Who are you

01:09:00to make demands of me?

01:09:02I don't answer to anyone but myself.

01:09:04I don't need

01:09:06any of your validation.

01:09:10There's a ring.

01:09:12Wow.

01:09:16Post Presidents,

01:09:18I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.

01:09:20This woman is an imposter.

01:09:22Miss Lewis, we

01:09:24apologize for the delay.

01:09:26How could you just let that con woman sit there?

01:09:28Get her out of here!

01:09:30This seat was always for Miss Lewis.

01:09:32She's the

01:09:34special guest we've been waiting for.

01:09:36The investment queen.

01:09:38The real heir to

01:09:40Lewis Group, Laura

01:09:42Lewis. She's a divorced

01:09:44housewife, a janitor. How can she?

01:09:46She can't be. It's a lie.

01:09:48I'm telling you, it's a lie.

01:09:50Do you think we'd lie?

01:09:52We run Lewis Group.

01:09:54Oh, Chloe, you

01:09:56assaulted me earlier

01:09:58and you came to

01:10:00this meeting to what?

01:10:02Sabotage it.

01:10:04You'll be hearing from our legal team.

01:10:08Is this true, Miss Duke?

01:10:10Did you try and sabotage this meeting?

01:10:14Yes, it's all true.

01:10:16She fooled us all. The Dukes

01:10:18tricked us to keep Lewis Group

01:10:20out of Maplewood and control

01:10:22everything themselves. I had no idea.

01:10:24But I'm on your side.

01:10:26I can give you

01:10:28everything you need.

01:10:30All the resources in Maplewood.

01:10:32Miss Lewis, how would you like us to deal

01:10:34with this?

01:10:36An eye for an eye.

01:10:40Since

01:10:42Miss Duke here

01:10:44loves ruining things,

01:10:46I'll target

01:10:48her precious Duke

01:10:50industries.

01:10:52I want them bankrupt in ten

01:10:54minutes. You're bluffing.

01:10:56You're nobody.

01:10:58You'll always be a nobody and you can't

01:11:00touch me. Then

01:11:02consider this a test,

01:11:04Chloe. I didn't need

01:11:06my family's support with Shepard

01:11:08and I certainly don't need it now.

01:11:10Chloe, you dug

01:11:12your own grave. You think

01:11:14you can destroy Maplewood's leading

01:11:16family with just the Shepard group?

01:11:18Please.

01:11:22We'll see.

01:11:26Dad?

01:11:28Slow down.

01:11:30What are you talking about?

01:11:32No.

01:11:34That's impossible.

01:11:36Chloe, what have you

01:11:38done? Years of hard work

01:11:40destroyed in minutes.

01:11:44What did you do?

01:11:46Well,

01:11:48Chloe,

01:11:50isn't this what you wanted?

01:11:52To give me a little taste of destruction?

01:11:54This is

01:11:56impossible. It's impossible.

01:11:58Chloe, what have

01:12:00you done? The news is

01:12:02everywhere. Shepard's launched

01:12:04a full-scale assault on the stock market.

01:12:06They're hammering our shares.

01:12:08Are you sure

01:12:10it's just Shepard? Yes. Shareholders

01:12:12are dumping our stock like

01:12:14it's a hot potato. We could

01:12:16go bankrupt. You've ruined

01:12:18everything. Don't worry, Mr. Duke.

01:12:20When your company does

01:12:22go bankrupt, I'll buy it

01:12:24at a fire sale price.

01:12:26Your employees won't even be affected.

01:12:28Brilliant. A masterstroke,

01:12:30Miss Lewis.

01:12:32Now, this

01:12:34is my event.

01:12:36Please leave.

01:12:38I did this for us.

01:12:40Everything I did, I did for us, Brian.

01:12:44Chloe,

01:12:46you need help.

01:12:48These feelings you have for me,

01:12:50it's not love.

01:12:52It's obsession.

01:12:54Enough. If you don't

01:12:56want to ruin everything completely, you'll come

01:12:58with me right now.

01:13:00No.

01:13:02Right now.

01:13:04Brian!

01:13:10Laura!

01:13:12This isn't over! Get off me!

01:13:14Brian!

01:13:16You hear me?

01:13:18What is going

01:13:20on here? Did they finally

01:13:22expose Laura's lies? Shepard Group.

01:13:24They're the new partner that's

01:13:26partnering up with Lewis Group for Maplewood.

01:13:28They're handling all future construction

01:13:30projects. That can't be.

01:13:32What about us? That was our

01:13:34project. Remember, Laura teamed up

01:13:36with Brian. Harrison Group

01:13:38is practically out. We have no chance.

01:13:40We can't give up that easily.

01:13:42Remember, Ian Lewis

01:13:44himself appointed me as general manager.

01:13:46In a few days, he promised that he

01:13:48would let us meet with a new heir.

01:13:50You're right. If we can just meet with

01:13:52a new heir, we can bypass the Shepards

01:13:54and meet directly with the Lewis Group.

01:13:56We just have to play their little game

01:13:58and see who comes out on top.

01:14:00That's right.

01:14:04Vice presidents!

01:14:06Allow me to introduce my

01:14:08associate, Brian Shepard.

01:14:10I'm sure I've mentioned him before.

01:14:12Mr. Shepard!

01:14:14It's a pleasure to meet you.

01:14:16We've looked into your company's

01:14:18financial review.

01:14:20Very impressive. Thank you.

01:14:22Thank you, but a large part

01:14:24of that success is thanks to

01:14:26Ms. Lewis.

01:14:28She practically saved me from disaster.

01:14:30Three times over now.

01:14:32Brian, you can just call me Laura.

01:14:34Ms. Lewis's

01:14:36recommendation is very telling,

01:14:38Mr. Shepard. Perhaps

01:14:40today he clarifies everything.

01:14:42Mr. Shepard, this opportunity

01:14:44is golden.

01:14:46Seize it.

01:14:48A woman like Laura is not

01:14:50easy to find.

01:14:52Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.

01:15:02Did Laura send you to kill me?

01:15:04Laura? Hardly.

01:15:06I'm Ian Lewis,

01:15:08CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.

01:15:12So you're Laura's uncle?

01:15:14In the flesh.

01:15:16So Laura really is your niece?

01:15:18Yes, little Laura.

01:15:20She just threw

01:15:22away her birthright about

01:15:24two, three years ago. Ran off and

01:15:26married a nobody from Maplewood.

01:15:28I think he was a Harrison.

01:15:30Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr.

01:15:32Yates on her side. Did you hear she's

01:15:34throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her

01:15:36official takeover?

01:15:38And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?

01:15:40If you're Ian Lewis,

01:15:42wouldn't you have the family ring?

01:15:44Well, my dear, that's where you

01:15:46come in, Miss Duke. We need you

01:15:48to relinquish my ring.

01:15:50What if I

01:15:52fail? My family is already

01:15:54ruined. Yes, you are

01:15:56in a spot of bother, I must say.

01:15:58But, if

01:16:00successful, I guarantee that you

01:16:02and the Duke family will

01:16:04get back everything you've lost.

01:16:06Laura's got the VPs and Brian

01:16:08on her side. How can I possibly

01:16:10get the ring? There is a way, you know,

01:16:12that we can make Laura

01:16:14relinquish and

01:16:16give up that ring willingly.

01:16:20Laura, my dear, welcome.

01:16:22Uncle Ian, it's

01:16:24so good to see you.

01:16:28Laura.

01:16:30So good to see you. And you.

01:16:32It's been too long.

01:16:34Two, three years, perhaps.

01:16:36How have you been?

01:16:38I've been well, Uncle Ian.

01:16:40Thank you for asking.

01:16:42I see you've been busy

01:16:44keeping Lewis Group afloat.

01:16:46Yes, indeed.

01:16:48Somebody had to. I mean,

01:16:50after you left me with everything to do,

01:16:52without a safe pair of hands, I hate

01:16:54to think what would have happened to the company.

01:16:56Actually, Uncle Ian,

01:16:58from what I've heard,

01:17:00you've lost billions with some

01:17:02questionable investment

01:17:04decisions. Yes, minor

01:17:06mistakes, minor.

01:17:08Don't worry, Uncle Ian, I won't

01:17:10hold it against you.

01:17:12Good. Well,

01:17:14cheers to you coming back here

01:17:16and the Lewis Group.

01:17:18Oh!

01:17:20I'm so

01:17:22sorry, Laura. How clumsy

01:17:24of me. No, no

01:17:26worries, Uncle Ian. I...

01:17:28I'll just go to the restroom

01:17:30and get cleaned up.

01:17:32Of course. Right away.

01:17:34Just down to the left.

01:17:40Use it wisely.

01:17:42Oh, I will.

01:17:58Hey, Laura. How's it...

01:18:00Hello, Brian. Your little

01:18:02girlfriend is with me now. Chloe,

01:18:04how in the hell

01:18:06did you get Laura's phone?

01:18:08Let's just say that I have my ways.

01:18:10Listen, Chloe,

01:18:12don't hurt her.

01:18:14Please.

01:18:16I'll do anything.

01:18:18Come to the abandoned

01:18:20warehouse in the eastern suburbs.

01:18:22Now.

01:18:24Don't tell anyone

01:18:26if you want her alive.

01:18:28Well,

01:18:30you certainly do have your ways.

01:18:34Oh,

01:18:36thank goodness you've cleared up. I am sorry.

01:18:38How clumsy. And don't forget

01:18:40your phone. I retrieved it for you.

01:18:42Thank you, Uncle Ian.

01:18:44Lovely to see you again. Yeah. I guess

01:18:46I'll see you the day after tomorrow

01:18:48at the banquet. At the banquet.

01:18:52I'll see you then. Will do.

01:18:54Looking forward to it.

01:18:56Laura!

01:18:58Laura! Where are you?

01:19:00Laura!

01:19:02Laura!

01:19:04Where are you?

01:19:06Laura! Laura, where are you?

01:19:12Gotcha.

01:19:16You weren't expecting that,

01:19:18were you?

01:19:26Finally.

01:19:28Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.

01:19:30What the?

01:19:32Laura, where are you? Laura?

01:19:34Go shut your mouth.

01:19:36Chloe,

01:19:38what have you done?

01:19:40You out of your mind? Out of my mind!

01:19:42You're the one that left me for that tramp

01:19:44and destroyed my life!

01:19:46That's not true. You're the one who messed up!

01:19:48Ryan!

01:19:50Laura!

01:19:52Stay where you are.

01:19:54Stay where you are.

01:19:56Better come alone.

01:19:58Drop this knife, Chloe.

01:20:00This is insane. Insane?

01:20:02I did this for us, Brian!

01:20:04We were meant

01:20:06to be together.

01:20:08Us? You've gone crazy.

01:20:10And you're out of here.

01:20:12Chloe, kidnapping

01:20:14is a very serious offence.

01:20:16They're going to lock you up for years.

01:20:18You think I care

01:20:20about jail time?

01:20:22All you care about is tearing you two apart.

01:20:24You don't deserve him.

01:20:26What you've done,

01:20:28you've destroyed my life,

01:20:30my company, everything.

01:20:32Now I'm going to destroy

01:20:34your life.

01:20:36Give me the family ring now.

01:20:38Give it to me!

01:20:40This is about the ring.

01:20:42Did my uncle Ian put you up

01:20:44to this?

01:20:46You know, Chloe,

01:20:48trying to kill me,

01:20:50that's foolish.

01:20:52Because who do you think is going to win?

01:20:54You?

01:20:56That little knife? Or

01:20:58me?

01:21:00Something a little bit more

01:21:02persuasive.

01:21:10Freeze!

01:21:12Don't move, anyone.

01:21:14Don't move.

01:21:16You're about to be arrested

01:21:18for kidnapping.

01:21:20Miss Lewis, having fun

01:21:22without me? I'm hurt.

01:21:26Are you hurt?

01:21:28No, I'm okay.

01:21:32Tell me, Chloe.

01:21:34Who put you up

01:21:36to this, Chloe?

01:21:38Why should I tell you? You're going to kill me anyway.

01:21:40Chloe, I don't

01:21:42have a problem with you.

01:21:44But if you don't talk,

01:21:46your beloved

01:21:48Duke Industries might run into

01:21:50some. Oh, I'm recording

01:21:52everything, Miss Lewis.

01:21:54So the choice is yours, Chloe.

01:21:56Talk

01:21:58or face the consequences.

01:22:00Fine. It was Ian Lewis.

01:22:02He said he'd help

01:22:04Duke Industries if I kept you away from the banquet

01:22:06today.

01:22:08Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?

01:22:10I'm recording everything,

01:22:12Miss Lewis.

01:22:14Oh, every

01:22:16word, Miss Lewis.

01:22:18Are you ready to play a game, Brian?

01:22:30This is crazy. Are we really

01:22:32sure we can do this? All these big companies

01:22:34here, it's crazy. Absolutely.

01:22:36The Lewis Group is under new leadership.

01:22:38We can talk to the heiress

01:22:40herself. Exactly.

01:22:42We just need to make sure we make a good impression

01:22:44on the new heir.

01:22:46There's Ian Lewis now. You can introduce

01:22:48us. Let's go. Yeah.

01:22:52Hello, Ian Lewis. I'm Amber Smith.

01:22:54We spoke on the phone the other day.

01:22:56This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.

01:22:58How do you do? We're the company that...

01:23:00Yes, I know who you are.

01:23:02Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's

01:23:04little drama. Now look,

01:23:06I'm not here for idle chatter.

01:23:12Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Can I ask you all to be

01:23:14seated, please?

01:23:18The moment you've all been waiting for.

01:23:20Tonight marks a new chapter

01:23:22in the life of the Lewis Group.

01:23:24A night where the rightful heir

01:23:26takes their place. Would you

01:23:28please join me in welcoming

01:23:30the heir to the Lewis Group,

01:23:32Miss Laura Lewis.

01:23:34Look, everybody, attention.

01:23:36Attention, please.

01:23:38There's been a recent

01:23:40development of

01:23:42some tragedy.

01:23:44I just got notice from a phone call

01:23:46a couple of minutes ago that

01:23:48Laura has been in a car accident.

01:23:50And tragically,

01:23:52she hasn't made it. She has

01:23:54not survived.

01:23:58What? Laura Lewis is dead?

01:24:00It doesn't matter now.

01:24:02She's gone. Mr. Lewis,

01:24:04is this news... A tragic turn of events,

01:24:06Mr. Yates, but rest assured

01:24:08the Lewis Group will continue

01:24:10under my competent leadership.

01:24:12Hold on.

01:24:14Who said that I'm dead?

01:24:18Laura.

01:24:22I don't

01:24:24understand. What's happening?

01:24:26Laura?

01:24:28But weren't you...

01:24:30My apologies for the delay,

01:24:32everyone. There seems to be

01:24:34some misunderstanding.

01:24:36Laura, what are you doing here?

01:24:38You gotta stop this. If you upset

01:24:40the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.

01:24:42I'll say this once. Back off, Ben.

01:24:48Thank you

01:24:50for coming, everyone.

01:24:52As I'm sure you know,

01:24:54tonight, I officially

01:24:56reclaim my title

01:24:58as the CEO

01:25:00of Lewis Group.

01:25:02Perhaps

01:25:04you could

01:25:06make some room for me. Uncle Ian?

01:25:08Impossible. How are you still

01:25:10alive? Well, clearly I am

01:25:12alive and well, so

01:25:14why don't we get this started? No.

01:25:16You're not the rightful

01:25:18heir. You gave that away

01:25:20when you married Ben Harrison.

01:25:22Uncle Ian, is that

01:25:24seriously your best that you have, that I got

01:25:26married too quickly?

01:25:28Well, you went off to Maplewood three years

01:25:30ago and married a stranger and

01:25:32left me to work tirelessly

01:25:34keeping the company together.

01:25:36Uncle Ian, retire.

01:25:38Enjoy your retirement.

01:25:40Lewis Group will be perfectly

01:25:42fine without you. No.

01:25:44There can only be one heir

01:25:46and that's me.

01:25:48And the rightful heir has possession

01:25:50of this.

01:25:52You think a ring

01:25:54makes an heir? You're even more

01:25:56foolish than I could have ever imagined.

01:25:58Give that back

01:26:00to me. This? Yes.

01:26:02You think some

01:26:04shiny gold thing makes you

01:26:06the heir? Give it back.

01:26:08True leadership

01:26:10is about earning

01:26:12the respect of those around you.

01:26:14Not some stupid ring.

01:26:16My ring?

01:26:18What have you done? Where is it?

01:26:22My ring!

01:26:24Now, everyone,

01:26:26if I could have your attention.

01:26:28Now, let me show you

01:26:30how a true heir

01:26:32earns a ring like that.

01:26:36Talk or face

01:26:38the consequences. Fine.

01:26:40It was Ian Lewis.

01:26:42He said he'd help Duke Industries if I

01:26:44kept you away from the bankers today.

01:26:48Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr. Lewis.

01:26:50Security,

01:26:52escort him out.

01:26:54And Ian, don't fall over.

01:26:56It's all lies.

01:26:58It's all lies. It's fakery. It's fake news.

01:27:00Get him out of here. Now.

01:27:06I owe all of you an apology

01:27:08for everything that's happened tonight.

01:27:10Turns out reclaiming my birthright

01:27:12didn't go as smoothly

01:27:14as I had hoped.

01:27:16Luckily, these

01:27:18past few days, I've had

01:27:20Mr. Shepard

01:27:22by my side.

01:27:24He has been

01:27:26a great support.

01:27:28Lewis Group

01:27:30has a lot of exciting plans

01:27:32for Maplewood.

01:27:34I'm proud to announce that

01:27:36we have secured

01:27:38a reliable partner.

01:27:42Shepard Group.

01:27:44Laura, hold on.

01:27:46This was never my idea.

01:27:48This was all Cathy and Amber's fault.

01:27:50I don't want a divorce.

01:27:52You came to me first.
