Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively, we're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:10What the hell is going on here?
00:00:12Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:16Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do?
00:00:20Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds, they're shorting us simultaneously,
00:00:26there is nothing we can do.
00:00:28Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:35Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunchtime.
00:00:44Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:46Excuse me ma'am, could you hold on on cleaning for just a couple minutes?
00:00:50Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years, that's impressive.
00:00:57But, losing your cool over a little market turbulence, that seems out of character for you.
00:01:05Do I know you?
00:01:08Wait, what are you doing?
00:01:13What are you doing?
00:01:14You can't do this, you're just a cleaner, you can't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:19This is incredible.
00:01:21What's going on?
00:01:22The shorting attempt, it's failing, the price is holding.
00:01:28Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:34We met before.
00:01:36They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:38Hold on, tell me, how could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:43If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:56Jason, can we have fire now?
00:02:00Mr. Yates.
00:02:01What, only two bodyguards this time?
00:02:04You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:07No ma'am, I just thought you might like the screen today.
00:02:11Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of
00:02:14the Lewis Group.
00:02:15But Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:18I'm not done with you.
00:02:19I'm not done with you.
00:02:20And I'm not done with you.
00:02:21I'm not done with you.
00:02:22I'm not done with you.
00:02:23I'm not done with you.
00:02:24I'm not done with you.
00:02:25I'm not done with you.
00:02:26I'm not done with you.
00:02:27I'm not done with you.
00:02:28I'm not done with you.
00:02:29I'm not done with you.
00:02:30I'm not done with you.
00:02:31I'm not done with you.
00:02:32I'm not done with you.
00:02:33I'm not done with you.
00:02:34I'm not done with you.
00:02:35I'm not finished.
00:02:36Ma'am, I still don't understand why you kept your identity a secret and why you married
00:02:37this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:38Look, today is Ben's birthday.
00:02:39Anything we need to discuss, we can do at some other time.
00:02:42Ma'am, it really is time that you accept your inheritance.
00:02:47Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:02:52At least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house, for my sake.
00:03:08Divorce papers.
00:03:09Sign it.
00:03:10Why?
00:03:12You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:13The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed
00:03:14a $100 million contract with the Sheppard Group.
00:03:15And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:03:16The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:03:17I need a wife who reflects my status.

00:04:20Doesn't it?
00:04:21Then?
00:04:24What's going on?
00:04:25Is it why you want a divorce?
00:04:27Because of her?
00:04:29Oh, please.
00:04:30I've spent years building Harrison group.
00:04:34You're still a cleaner
00:04:36We just grew apart, that's all.

00:06:27I would've been Harrison. Don't someone just got him
00:06:37Let's get the bottle

00:07:12All right, I
00:07:14Want to say thank you properly for saving Shepherd group. It's it's really no no worries. Mr. Shepherd, but um

00:07:45You really don't recognize him. Do you amber?
00:07:48That's really interesting considering. I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben
00:07:54That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that
00:07:57My ring
00:08:07Hold on a minute Laura, who the heck is this man? I have you been sneaking around. It's all right now
00:08:13This is none of your business Oh

00:08:27What
00:08:28Are you saying that is Brian Shepherd? That's a lie. Don't you dare walk away from me Laura?
00:08:33You come back here and explain yourself. Don't you take another step towards my son Laura?
00:08:41Laura does been even know you were the one who secured the hundred million deal
00:08:46Let's just say that
00:08:48Ben underestimated me. I don't feel good about going through the signing event
00:08:54If they're how they treated you maybe we should cancel no
00:09:00No, the event will proceed besides I'll be there
00:09:08There's a lot that I don't know about you Laura
00:09:11Who are you truly? You'll find out
00:09:15Mr. Shepherd, um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:19Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's
00:09:24business partners and we're gonna have a meeting an investment meeting one week from today
00:09:32Make sure everyone is there
00:09:36Because after that meeting
00:09:39I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group. Oh, excellent. Miss Lewis. I'll start my business
00:09:46Oh excellent miss Lewis. I'll start making arrangements tomorrow. Ben Harrison
00:09:54You're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything
00:10:05After this ceremony the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty only after then my darling we can get married
00:10:13Laura, what are you doing here security 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 business
00:10:26You wouldn't know business if it hit you on the head a fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey
00:10:31Just get out
00:10:33Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for you should have taken my $100,000 offer. Oh Ben
00:10:39Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:43This is really important for me. Do not ruin this. Okay, you 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
00:11:09Ridiculous, this is insane. Who do you think you are? Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing
00:11:15Security, she's lost her mind. This is a disaster
00:11:19Ben
00:11:20This contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you. But since you clearly don't deserve it
00:11:39You
00:11:54You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help you're so silly. Oh, please honey
00:11:59You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady security get this woman out of here before she makes another mess
00:12:04I was the one that started this deal with the shepherds
00:12:09after careful
00:12:11consideration, I
00:12:13Don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the shepherds
00:12:16I really think that the shepherd group and I could be torn up by something that you've done
00:12:21You have no authority here. Of course. She has the authority
00:12:31That's the man that Laura went with the other day, what is he doing here, mr. Shepherd
00:12:36Is that really Brian Shepherd Laura, are you all right?
00:12:43Mr. Shepherd, I can assure you I don't even know it this woman. There must be some sort of misunderstanding
00:12:48There's no misunderstanding here. Mr. Harrison this contract with Shepherd group is officially terminated
00:12:55effective immediately
00:12:58Wait a minute this contract I thought you said you got it. It's her she ruined the contract you are his mistress, aren't you?
00:13:06an affair
00:13:07She had an affair with that man behind my son's back mom, please. It's okay. This man is don't touch me
00:13:16That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone has an affair and you just stand there
00:13:21You're a disgrace an adulterer. You deserve to be a shut up
00:13:29Mr. Shepherd, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you this woman has tricked you tricked
00:13:36Why don't you answer a question yourself?
00:13:41What was my name before we got married Laura Lewis, right
00:13:46Lewis group
00:13:48the financial giants
00:13:50There's no way a Lewis is connected to this
00:13:55That's crazy there was no way you're related to the Lewis family name that's absurd
00:14:05Wasted time in Maplewood. Yeah. Yeah, it's a lie. It's a lie. This woman was a waitress when I met her
00:14:11In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago
00:14:16She's nothing special she only married me out of gratitude I was just a waitress
00:14:22How convenient for your story Ben first time I met her she wasn't need a waitress at the diner
00:14:27Okay, listen up everybody when I met her I'd only just started my business
00:14:32Now look at me I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts look at her still just a clear
00:14:39Mr. Shepherd that woman is my son's ex-wife. She's doing all this out of spite. She's lying. Mr. Shepherd
00:14:47She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:53Let's make something clear I was the one behind Harrison group success I
00:15:00I use my
00:15:02Resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the main don't lie
00:15:08You were never good enough for Ben when you married him. Oops
00:15:11That roof was built with lies
00:15:14Kathy you never respected me and Ben
00:15:18Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own and the cheating. I
00:15:24Think you're blaming the wrong person
00:15:27You were not good enough for Ben then and you're certainly not good enough for him now if you'd prefer to believe a liar's
00:15:34story
00:15:36than the truth Kathy
00:15:38Consider this my resignation from the Harrison's
00:15:41from
00:15:43everything
00:15:47Wait, wait, Laura, I think you can just walk in here and you know ruin everything and then just walk out like nothing happened
00:15:52I don't think so. You're a cleaner. You're a cleaner that cleans toilets. Nobody cares about you
00:15:59Cleaning toilets or not. At least I have my self respect. I
00:16:04Don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important
00:16:13No, I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding I think all jobs are important right mom
00:16:18But I don't think that a
00:16:20Janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this a janitor
00:16:26Well, why don't we ask miss Smith?
00:16:29Exactly how she landed that
00:16:32collaboration
00:16:34You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal
00:16:40Mr. Shepherd, it's all a lie
00:16:42This woman Laura. She's just a gold digger trying to trick you
00:16:46Well a lie you say miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison group
00:16:52But I don't recognize you
00:16:54Is this true? Miss Smith?
00:16:58Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions
00:17:02This contract was my way of showing my appreciation
00:17:06The contract I mean Laura tore it up
00:17:09Can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony done?
00:17:13Can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway
00:17:17Reprinted. Mr. Harrison
00:17:20Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without miss Lewis involved
00:17:24I wouldn't even consider
00:17:26Partnering with your company
00:17:30Today I want to make it clear shepherd group has no plans to partner with Harrison group in the future
00:17:38You
00:17:42Miss Smith you lied to us you destroyed everything
00:17:46What?
00:17:47No, it's a misunderstanding. I can explain
00:17:51Lewis family group this can't be
00:17:55Believe what you want, Ben
00:17:57Lewis group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week
00:18:02three
00:18:03Of our vice presidents will be here in maplewood and i'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who
00:18:11I am
00:18:13Everyone listen to me shepherd group will not be partnering with Harrison
00:18:20A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract
00:18:27The charade is over. Mr. Harrison
00:18:29Everyone here deserves to see the truth
00:18:34Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:45Mom someone get her doctor mom. It seems your night has taken quite the turn. Mr. Shepherd
00:18:54Indeed perhaps it's best to leave them to it
00:19:03You
00:19:10What
00:19:11What now mom this is not all on me not on you
00:19:16I was trying to help
00:19:18She cheated on you with shepherd
00:19:20Flaunted their affair exactly
00:19:23And those dresses
00:19:25Who could afford those on a janitor's salary miss smith?
00:19:29How could you do this? We trusted you completely
00:19:32No, no, I got ben the deal I had no idea shepherd would fall for laura
00:19:39She's a liar
00:19:40Oh, stop it. Amber. You lied to us just as much as she did
00:19:44lied
00:19:46You're on my side
00:19:48And anyways, I have a plan
00:19:50The shepherds are no one special
00:19:52We can expose laura and all her lies go national
00:19:56We can make ourselves a household name
00:19:59Um now if you excuse me, I have a very important phone call to make
00:20:09Thank you so much for tonight, mr. Shepherd, thank you as well for standing up for me

00:22:09Miss smith
00:22:10How did you get this number?
00:22:12Don't worry about that right now. I believe I know someone impersonating laura lewis
00:22:18Someone I know very well
00:22:20Impersonating my niece
00:22:23and
00:22:24Where is this fake laura right here in maplewood?
00:22:28And let me tell you she's causing quite a scene
00:22:32well
00:22:33What is she doing exactly?
00:22:36And more to the point. What do you want from me?
00:22:40In the next few days the lewis group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:22:46I want to meet with the vice presidents all will be revealed then
00:22:50very well
00:22:51I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting
00:22:54But be warned if this is a waste of my time, I it won't be
00:22:58Trust me. Mr. Lewis
00:23:00Thank you
00:23:07That little rascal laura, I wonder what she's up to now
00:23:13You
00:23:18That car belongs to mr. Yeats the lewis family
00:23:24Lewis family, that's interesting. Could she be connected to them somehow? I'm not sure
00:23:35Brian there you are. I've missed you
00:23:38Chloe
00:23:41Chloe what are you doing here?
00:23:44What do you mean?
00:23:45Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:48We ended things for a reason
00:23:50It was just one teensy mistake. I was I was a little bit tipsy
00:23:55Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance? It's a mistake. You said you cheated on me
00:24:04Is this your new fling ex-divorcee
00:24:08Used to clean floor. It's quite the catch
00:24:12Look
00:24:13My relationship with her is none of your business
00:24:16And don't you dare talk about her like that
00:24:19please
00:24:21An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman. It's a classic story. That's enough
00:24:27I'll get the hell out of my office
00:24:30You want to be careful brian?
00:24:32Jig industry still holds a lot of weight in maplewood
00:24:35If you want shepherd group to stay afloat
00:24:38You want to be more careful?
00:24:43Seems like you've got more on your plate than laura's secrets now
00:24:53This is it the lewis group vice presidents are on the top floor once i'm done speaking with them
00:24:58I'll have ben's company rolling in business investments
00:25:02I'll go speak with them first and then i'll introduce you
00:25:05Thank you
00:25:06Well, well, well look who it is
00:25:09What a surprise did brian teach you already?
00:25:12That's none
00:25:14of your business
00:25:16Now move aside, please laura
00:25:18Just what do you think you're doing you you street rat?
00:25:21You really think you can just ruin my events again? Haven't you ruined my life enough? Don't you have any shame?
00:25:25If you'll excuse me
00:25:27I have an important meeting to get to
00:25:29Oh the nurse after everything you've done you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them, too
00:25:36Seriously
00:25:37I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here. Oh, that's gold
00:25:43You really think that they're gonna let you in laura, please. You're no one compared to me. You don't deserve to be here
00:25:50The only ones who don't belong here. Are you three?
00:25:55and you
00:25:57Believing every lie that she tells you wake up then
00:26:01laura
00:26:02Laura, come on. Why do you always pull this on me?
00:26:05I mean seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once? I know what this is
00:26:11So stupid. Oh
00:26:13Shut your trap
00:26:15Amber spoke directly with the ceo. He invited her to meet with the vps before the main meeting
00:26:20Yeah, amber got me a partnership with the lewis group and unlike some people I have a real invitation
00:26:28well
00:26:29Before you all start celebrating
00:26:32Why don't you take a look?
00:26:34at this
00:26:39Oh, that's rich you may have brian shepherd fooled, but you can't fool me
00:26:43I spoke to ian lewis himself
00:26:46Ceo of lewis group speaking of brian, where is he right now?
00:26:51You mean?
00:26:52my uncle
00:26:53Ian, don't be ridiculous
00:26:56Ian lewis personally gave me this invitation himself
00:27:01And besides this looks fake. She's a liar
00:27:06This is a personal invitation from mr. Yates himself
00:27:11It grants me access to the vip elevator, which leads straight to the vice presidential suite
00:27:15She's lying. They don't have a vip elevator in this hotel
00:27:23Is there a special elevator for vips in this hotel
00:27:27Not that I know of
00:27:29See she's lying
00:27:31There you have it. Laura, even the hotel staff can spot a fake go on get lost before things get worse
00:27:38Here take this one leave me to the vice presidents. You have no idea what you just
00:27:45there
00:27:47be consequences
00:27:50besides
00:27:51If you have this relationship with ian lewis that you claim to have
00:27:55Why don't you just ask him?
00:27:57To get the two of them an invitation
00:28:01Security security we need this woman removed immediately. She is harassing me
00:28:04Removed immediately. She is harassing me. We're done with your games. You're just a fraud man, please what?
00:28:16Brian shepherd
00:28:18You think money buys you the right to walk all over people? Well, it doesn't yeah
00:28:23Wasn't enough to kick us out of maplewood was it? Huh?
00:28:26What other plans do you have to destroy this time? Okay you out?
00:28:29After what you did to laura you had it coming don't play dumb
00:28:33We know exactly what's been happening here. How long has this little affair been going on?
00:28:38You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son
00:28:41Hold on a second
00:28:42an affair
00:28:44You think laura and I?
00:28:47You people are unbelievable
00:28:51Mr. Carter get down here asap. We have a situation
00:28:56What you think you can just boss the manager around now, is that it? We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn
00:29:01Miss lewis apologies for the delay. How can I help you this evening? Thank you. Mr. Carter for getting down here so quickly
00:29:08It seems there's a misunderstanding
00:29:11These people don't think that I belong here. Well, mr
00:29:15Carter I can assure you this woman is a cleaner a cleaner nonsense
00:29:19I personally agreed to miss lewis upon her arrival in maplewood three years ago
00:29:24exactly
00:29:25lewis group
00:29:27my
00:29:28Company has some major investments planned here in maplewood. I was just here investigating potential business opportunities
00:29:36No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground
00:29:41She's been this way since my son divorced her. She's insane. Actually
00:29:45I've met laura three years ago at the coffee shop
00:29:48She helped secure a profitable investment for shepherd group
00:29:52No
00:29:53It's a lie
00:29:55Mr. Shepherd, she's tricking you, too
00:29:58You
00:30:00You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them
00:30:07Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the vip elevator? Wait, is that why you're covering for her?
00:30:12Huh? Because of the affair because she slept with you. Excuse me
00:30:16Who are you and how dare you speak to miss lewis that way?
00:30:20That's enough having to embarrass yourself enough
00:30:23This is lewis group property behave or i'll call security, but she doesn't even have a vip entrance access
00:30:30She shouldn't be here
00:30:32Since you're having trouble understanding them
00:30:35Let me make it clear
00:30:37This hotel is owned by the lewis family
00:30:40it's
00:30:41Mine to come or go as I please
00:30:48Thank you for stepping in right I
00:30:51Oh you what
00:30:53We'll talk about this later
00:30:55Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision. Mr. Anderson
00:31:11Excuse me vice presidents
00:31:13I'm amber smith general manager of the lewis group make wood branch
00:31:18I believe ian lewis told you about our meeting today
00:31:21maplewood branch
00:31:23Our records don't show any maplewood branch miss smith. Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:31:32ian
00:31:33Mr. Lewis
00:31:35Reassured me that today we would discuss
00:31:38well
00:31:39expansion plans
00:31:41expansion plans
00:31:43Miss smith a decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval and frankly, we haven't heard anything about
00:31:50maplewood branch, but
00:31:53Ian lewis assured me that miss smith. We have a very important guest arriving soon
00:31:59Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff
00:32:02Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some miss smith. We'd like you to leave if you don't we'll call security
00:32:13Hey stop there this elevator is a vip only back, please, of course my apologies
00:32:27Bora
00:32:31Vice presidents, it's so good to see all of you again
00:32:36Miss lewis
00:32:37It's been too long your return is a lifesaver miss lewis the lewis group has floundered under your uncle's well, shall we say?
00:32:46unconventional leadership
00:32:48The board are begging you to come back
00:32:52Well, please sit yes, well it is time for me to get my career back on track
00:32:59We've got a meeting planned a big one in just a few days
00:33:03Local powerhouses and smaller players, too. They'll all be there in one spot miss lewis
00:33:11We met with an amber smith
00:33:14She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a maplewood branch
00:33:20For the lewis group. She said that did she well miss smith is a liar
00:33:25There is no maplewood branch at least not yet. Well, she lied so blatantly it was it's unbelievable
00:33:32But don't worry I found a much more suitable partner
00:33:38Shepherd group shepherd crew their rise to a public company has been impressive
00:33:44Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:47So what happens now with this amber smith?
00:33:51Oh
00:33:52Don't worry about amber
00:33:55I've got plans for her
00:33:57Hahaha
00:33:59Miss lewis consider this your official invitation to the legend
00:34:09Cheers
00:34:21I'm not leaving. What are you talking about? No, come on. I'm amber smith. I'm the lewis group manager of maplewood branch
00:34:27What are you doing? These are my guests. Yeah, that's right. Tell them who we are. Yes, we were waiting for miss smith
00:34:34Lewis group maplewood branch no such thing ma'am. And frankly, i'm not interested in your act
00:34:40of course
00:34:41laura
00:34:42She's probably sleeping with the manager as well. That's how she gets away with everything you underestimate her kathy
00:34:49She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents
00:34:52No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this careful with your words
00:34:56Both of you
00:34:58Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble
00:35:03Look who can't even get into a meeting whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents
00:35:09And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to maplewood
00:35:12Looks like she used you and tossed you aside used me
00:35:16Unlike some people I don't mind being helpful
00:35:20You're so stupid. She threw you away like yesterday's trash
00:35:24Don't worry brian you deserve better and let's not forget
00:35:28I'm the new maplewood branch manager of lewis group appointed by the ceo of lewis group themselves. Ian lewis
00:35:36new branch manager, huh
00:35:39Interesting laura lewis. What are you doing here? Get out of here. You claim to be the mystery guest
00:35:46Don't play games laura. I was formally invited by lewis group themselves to the investment meeting
00:35:52Only the top companies get those looks like you're all out of luck. Is that so?
00:35:59well, then
00:36:00There seems to be a misunderstanding
00:36:03You see i'm not sure if you know miss smith
00:36:06But lewis group is my company and I decide who goes to the meetings
00:36:15Escort them out their visit is over. Oh, come on this way, please
00:36:22Come on
00:36:23Move we're not leaving again move. Oh, no. No, no, we're not going now. Okay
00:36:28This isn't over. You'll see
00:36:33Thanks for waiting
00:36:36Laura i'm glad you're okay
00:36:40And thank you for defending me I really appreciate it
00:36:48Um
00:36:50Are you coming to the meeting? Yes, but it's gonna be tricky
00:36:58Why i'm sure that shepherd group got an invitation
00:37:04Yes
00:37:06laura
00:37:08There's something you should know
00:37:10is
00:37:12Is this about ben because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems. He won't even get past security
00:37:20Laura it's not me. It's someone else
00:37:26Someone's causing problems for shepherd group
00:37:31Yes
00:37:33Her name is chloe duke
00:37:36She is daughter of the duke family
00:37:40She's my ex-fiancee
00:37:43And uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us
00:37:49and
00:37:51Let's just say we didn't end things so well
00:37:55And for some reason
00:37:58She's having a hard time moving on
00:38:01And
00:38:03You think that she's gonna cause problems at the meeting for?
00:38:15Out of jealousy
00:38:19There's a possibility she's kind of jealous
00:38:23Well all the more reason for you to be there
00:38:30I'll be there too
00:38:34Laura
00:38:37Would you consider being my guest at the meeting
00:38:40What?
00:38:42Are you worried that this chloe's gonna cause problems for me, too?
00:38:45Maybe a little
00:38:47But mostly I want to show them we're a team. Well, it's a very kind offer. Mr. Shepard. Thank you
00:38:56Laura
00:39:01I don't care about your best. I just want to be by your side. I think i'm falling for you
00:39:12Ryan
00:39:17I I appreciate
00:39:19your honesty and
00:39:21Right now. I i'm just not
00:39:24I I just don't really have romance on my mind right now just with everything going on
00:39:31And going on
00:39:34I just want it to be your fault
00:39:37And if gladia is anything you won't face her alone
00:39:44There's just one thing I do need
00:39:48What is it?
00:39:51A formal dress
00:40:04Oh security she doesn't belong here. This is a private store. Excuse me
00:40:10We need some assistance. I'm looking for a very particular dress
00:40:15Okay
00:40:17Wow
00:40:18It's beautiful
00:40:20It is
00:40:21I'll try this one on
00:40:22Don't bother with her. She can't afford anything here. She's just a cleaner. She doesn't deserve to shop you. She has no money
00:40:32Yeah, exactly I mean what are you doing here, can you just leave me alone
00:40:36I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared i'm here for retail therapy
00:40:42Oh, please
00:40:43This store is for the a-list only not some cheapskate like you. This is a woman who barged into my marriage. Hey
00:40:50Show some respect
00:40:52Typical laura just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money. I would have asked you but
00:40:58Without me i'm sure they're already broke. Oh, please. Come on. We'll take the dress sir. This particular dress is
00:41:05Not for sale. Uh, what do you mean? You don't sell it. I want it
00:41:10Name your price. It's not about the price
00:41:13Ma'am, this one was custom made for miss lewis the lewis group heiress
00:41:17The entire brand belongs to her this beautiful dress is for display purposes only. Thank you
00:41:23It wouldn't suit you anyway. Amber. What are you talking about? Of course it would suit her. It'd fit her just fine
00:41:29And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self
00:41:33Well buy in the whole store. Allow me to purchase this dress
00:41:40You
00:41:42Oh, please don't you know that this store belongs to lewis group we wouldn't sell it to someone like you amber
00:41:48You're not even a branch manager yet. You don't get to speak on behalf of lewis group
00:41:53Could you please tell me more about this dress, of course
00:41:57Uh, it was custom made for laura lewis heiress to the lewis group fortune
00:42:03Hand stitched in italy naturally and apparently there are many more like it this year
00:42:08High-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection
00:42:13laura
00:42:15Do you like this dress? Of course
00:42:18It's custom made for me. I'm just here to take what's already mine
00:42:22Oh, you can't be serious. There must be millions of laura lewis's out there in the world fine fine
00:42:29If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on? It would look incredible on me miss
00:42:34This dress is very delicate
00:42:37If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly. Are you calling me fat? Actually, not a second thought
00:42:45Why don't we just buy the whole brand? How's that sound sir? Are you serious? You would just buy the entire brand for
00:42:53One dress this brand is worth at least 50 million dollars
00:42:57And to buy it for a waitress
00:43:00Are you out of your mind? Yes, you see even if you had the money they wouldn't sell it to you just one second
00:43:09Yes, this is brian shepherd ceo of shepherd group I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions
00:43:15I'm interested in purchasing your high
00:43:18fashion
00:43:19brand

00:44:39Laura
00:44:41I don't know much about fashion. So I would like to give you this brand to you
00:44:45You can't be serious. You don't have the kind of money to buy this store. Don't listen to her brian

00:45:50Because you deserve everything beautiful in the world
00:45:54And that includes this dress, thank you
00:45:59Will you give us a chance?
00:46:01To see where things could go
00:46:03I
00:46:04I need a moment
00:46:06Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting
00:46:12Does that mean it could be a yes, maybe
00:46:22Hi
00:46:28Hi
00:46:33What
00:46:35Well, well well
00:46:37Look who decided to join the party playing dress up again
00:46:40Laura one more disrespectful remark towards laura mcsmith and you understand the meaning of rude
00:46:47You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone for this this gold digger
00:46:52You know ben
00:46:53I really cared about you even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce
00:46:59I know the name of a great psychologist in new york
00:47:02Maybe the shrinks in maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues
00:47:08enough
00:47:09I've had enough of this drama. Yeah me too
00:47:12Try that again and you'll regret it
00:47:15I'll get the hell out of my face
00:47:18Let's see if you two even make it past the door. Yeah
00:47:20I
00:47:22I'm sorry, miss smith, but your name's not on the guest list. What that's impossible. I was invited by the ceo himself
00:47:34Unfortunately neither harrison group or smith group name is on the list
00:47:39Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all
00:47:43You don't have an invitation. You're just here because of brian
00:47:50Let me see this this doesn't even look real it's different from mine. Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:58This appears to be a vip invitation from the vice president
00:48:03Please right this way we can continue this discussion later if you manage to get in
00:48:13Sir madam, we recommend you leave
00:48:16Oh
00:48:18There you are, how dare you steal my fiancee
00:48:24There you are
00:48:25How dare you steal my fiancee?
00:48:28Looks like another relationship bites the dust laura
00:48:31Looks like stealing men is a habit of yours. Get away from him
00:48:35He's engaged to me. Hey, hold your horses. That ended a long time ago
00:48:41engaged to you
00:48:43Everyone in maplewood knows what you did to brian your relationship's history
00:48:49That was just a little tip you really think that could tear us apart
00:48:54Don't you know who I am
00:48:56Don't pretend like you don't know. Oh, honey. She don't recognize royalty let alone in duke. She's just a maid remember
00:49:04I don't have time for all this drama
00:49:08Brian let's head inside
00:49:11Brian how could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:49:17Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of maplewood? There's nothing left to say going don't make this a scene
00:49:24Shall we?
00:49:31You okay miss duke
00:49:34And you are amber smith
00:49:37I'm the maplewood branch manager of lewis group
00:49:40What branch i've never heard of it? What do you want from me that laura?
00:49:44She tore up my invitation. Do you think you can get me inside what your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:49:52Please don't waste my time
00:50:07So
00:50:25If I can't have brian neither can you the duke family has more influence than you think
00:50:33Chloe good to see you. I've been expecting you
00:50:36How are you?
00:50:40I need your help with something. What is it anything for my little clay?
00:50:45It's brian
00:50:47Who's that woman? I thought you were she's a con woman
00:50:51She actually used to be a cleaner in his company. What?
00:50:55Are you saying?
00:50:57Brian left you for a cleaner
00:51:00Well, she's pretending to be a lewis to get close to him
00:51:04What are you planning I want to destroy shepherd group
00:51:13Anyway, i'm terribly sorry about chloe now. I had no idea she would be so
00:51:21Advanced
00:51:24What do you mean you so should have taken her up on her offer, I mean you guys are just
00:51:29A
00:51:31Power couple
00:51:34I see what you're doing power couple you say more like a disaster waiting to happen
00:51:43Anyway, shall we take a seat actually brian my seat is
00:51:50It's up there
00:51:52Really
00:51:53She doesn't deserve to sit there
00:51:55Excuse me
00:51:56This is my vip invitation
00:51:59I can sit wherever I like. Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:52:04This is signed by all three vps of lewis group. Where did you get this?
00:52:10Who did you have to sleep with that's enough
00:52:14This is getting us nowhere
00:52:16Laura is my guest and I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her
00:52:23Got it
00:52:25Mr. Shepherd, what do you see in that woman?
00:52:29Miss duke is a perfect match for you. She's from a good family
00:52:33beautiful and
00:52:35Successful. What more could you ask for? That's a good question
00:52:40Not much actually
00:52:42Honesty
00:52:44That's what I want
00:52:46And love things that clearly chloe has no idea. I said I was sorry
00:52:53What more do you want I've watched chloe grow up she's like a daughter to me
00:52:59I won't allow her to be spoken to like that
00:53:08One more chance brian, let's forget all this nonsense
00:53:12Do it mr. Shepherd propose right here right now
00:53:18Brian
00:53:21Is this how the duke family handles business deals
00:53:26By forcing a ring on someone do it or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the duke family
00:53:38Don't you dare you're humiliating yourself
00:53:43Dare you do you really like this nobody from nowhere? Yes
00:53:51But I can't imagine someone like her interested in me
00:53:57The truth is I wouldn't be here where I am today without her why would you choose someone like her?
00:54:06Exactly this woman is trouble. She doesn't belong here. Throw her out
00:54:10You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me
00:54:16interesting turn of events
00:54:18Perhaps it's time. We shed some light on your mysterious past. Do you?
00:54:23Actually think that just because you have the name laura
00:54:27That you're the missing heiress laura lewis
00:54:32You know what maybe you're right chloe
00:54:35They're ridiculous
00:54:37Is that what you've been telling everyone? I'm sure that
00:54:40the duke family still values cooperation, but
00:54:45wow
00:54:46Did I underestimate your foolishness chloe?
00:54:50You have no right to talk to miss duke like that
00:54:52That's enough. You don't get to talk here
00:54:55You got mad shepherd. You dare to go against miss duke and the same applies to everyone else here anyone who insults laura
00:55:04Leaves with a black eye. He's willing to defend the duke for her. What kind of job does she have?
00:55:09I want to be careful brian
00:55:11Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the lewis group
00:55:15Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:55:19The lewis group
00:55:20Isn't blacklisting anyone especially not?
00:55:24shepherd
00:55:29Lewis group rs
00:55:31you
00:55:32Don't make me laugh
00:55:34Security remove these two imposters from the premises
00:55:38Wait, uncle jones. Give brian another chance
00:55:42choose brian
00:55:44Me and the future you deserve or this
00:55:47fraud
00:55:50Chloe I have everything I ever wanted right here
00:55:55You know wouldn't trade all the power to duke's home neighborhood
00:55:59fine
00:56:06Short the stock of the shepherd group what?
00:56:08You
00:56:10You forced my hand brian
00:56:12Now shepherd group is ruined the duke family. They can't be serious shepherd group is doomed
00:56:20You don't have to do this for me
00:56:23laura
00:56:24I will never let anyone bully you
00:56:27Let alone them
00:56:29Thank you
00:56:30brian for
00:56:32for believing in me for
00:56:35protecting me
00:56:38Now it's my turn to protect you
00:56:46Listen carefully
00:56:48I need you to protect the shepherd group stock at all
00:56:53Costs don't let it drop
00:56:56even one
00:56:57cent
00:56:58Do you understand?
00:57:00well
00:57:01Award-winning performance laura, but you can't possibly control stock
00:57:07I want to put your money where your mouth is chloe if
00:57:14Shepherd stock holds
00:57:16For the next five minutes
00:57:21You owe me a public apology
00:57:29Yeah
00:57:31You
00:57:34Well looks like your five minutes is up, let's see how the shepherd stock is doing
00:57:46What the shepherd group stock prices it's going up this can't be happening it must be a coincidence
00:57:54Oh
00:58:00Why didn't you short the stock like I asked
00:58:03There was a huge investment. We couldn't compete shepherd stock prices being heavily supported
00:58:09How did you do this
00:58:11like I said chloe
00:58:15I'm laura lewis
00:58:18Oh, you're not you're just some cleaner. You don't have access to billions
00:58:22Well, I think it's time for my apology
00:58:32No
00:58:34I think it's time for my apology. There is no way i'm apologizing to you
00:58:39If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:58:43chloe the truth is
00:58:46Everyone here
00:58:48Has seen you be a bully
00:58:50and a coward
00:58:52and now
00:58:54a sore
00:58:55loser
00:58:56This is so humiliating for her
00:58:59How did she manage that?
00:59:01Maybe she really is a lewis
00:59:04Apologize to miss lewis
00:59:06Shut up. Don't you dare talk about miss duke like that
00:59:10Don't forget the duke family on half of maplewood. They don't deserve us. Let's get out of here
00:59:18Hold on
00:59:20This
00:59:21Is where I belong
00:59:23and that
00:59:25Is my chair you can't go there that is the vip section
00:59:30Only those invited by the lewis group vice presidents get to sit there
00:59:34Like I said chloe
00:59:37That's my seat
00:59:40You
00:59:45Heard a rumor floating around a few days ago
00:59:48Seems miss lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and mr. Shepard
00:59:55Wasn't it?
00:59:56Are you planning another outburst laura? Is this how you charm all your men?
01:00:01Shall we?
01:00:03my pleasure
01:00:05What are you doing?
01:00:07Let go it doesn't matter what happened I choose to stay by laura's side
01:00:13Let's go don't be absurd that seat is reserved for a very important guest
01:00:20Someone so esteemed even the vice presidents have to bow low
01:00:26And
01:00:28how
01:00:29Exactly. Mr. Jones
01:00:31Are you so sure that i'm?
01:00:34Not that esteemed guest wait, that's peter young. Is that your business advisor lewis group?
01:00:43Ask peter young he decides which
01:00:46It's uh, chloe duke head of duke industries. So glad you could join us. Why is everyone standing around? It's her
01:00:53She's making a huge scene trying to claim the vip seat
01:00:56It's embarrassing that seat's reserved for the lewis group vip guest
01:01:01specifically the family heir
01:01:03Please get off the stage
01:01:06Oh, yes
01:01:07Mr. Young
01:01:08Was it I think I remember you you manage my family's investments
01:01:15Don't pretend like you know what's going on
01:01:18Please get off the stage that seat's reserved for the lewis family heir
01:01:22I need to make one thing
01:01:24crystal clear
01:01:29I
01:01:31Am the heir
01:01:33of the lewis family
01:01:39This is ridiculous
01:01:40you
01:01:41The lewis heir don't you know that miss lewis is a legend around here?
01:01:46You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this. Exactly
01:01:50We ran a background check on her and it turns out. She's just some cleaner that used to work for the harrison group
01:01:56Before that I can see her in my family's supermarket
01:01:59See brian
01:02:01This is who you've been chasing after a liar and a cheat security
01:02:05Get this imposter out of here
01:02:07Everyone here is a witness. Why would any of you trust laura?
01:02:12if any of you
01:02:14dares to harm her
01:02:16You have to go through me first
01:02:18Brian, she's just a nobody
01:02:21She's just someone that the harrison group ditched
01:02:25They didn't even want her. What exactly do you see in her?
01:02:28Escort this imposter out of here now
01:02:31Oh peter
01:02:40Peter do you have any idea what you're doing? Mr. Yates. I'm so glad you could join us
01:02:49Miss lewis
01:02:50Sorry about the delay
01:02:52and for all the trouble you've had to put up with it's
01:02:55No trouble. Mr. Yates
01:02:57Luckily, I haven't been alone. I've had the great company of my very loyal
01:03:04Friend wait a minute
01:03:07She's miss lewis. Is this a joke?
01:03:09Mr. Young
01:03:10You're new to the lewis group. So
01:03:13I can understand why you wouldn't recognize miss lewis
01:03:17But you listened to lies without checking the facts
01:03:21And almost called the police
01:03:24Tell me
01:03:25Mr. Young who put you up to this? Was it my uncle ian lewis?
01:03:33I knew it
01:03:39Consider this your termination
01:03:43I get it now
01:03:44This is all an act
01:03:46Right chloe. What are you doing? We still want to work with the lewis family work with him
01:03:50Are you blind this woman is clearly having an affair with this old man
01:03:55That's enough young lady you've got no right to disrespect the head of the lewis group
01:04:01Oh
01:04:02Chloe I can't believe we're going through this again. I think you need some professional
01:04:07help
01:04:08Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist
01:04:13It's ridiculous if you were really the lewis family heir you would have the ring
01:04:17So why don't you show it to everyone show us the ring?
01:04:24How do you show that to everyone show us
01:04:28Show us the ring who are you to make demands of me? I don't answer to anyone but myself
01:04:36I don't need any of your validation
01:04:47Vice presidents
01:04:49I'm chloe duke of the duke family. This woman is an imposter miss lewis
01:04:55We apologize for the delay
01:04:57How could you let that con woman sit there? Get her out of here. This seat was always for miss lewis
01:05:04She's the special guest we've been waiting for the investment queen
01:05:09the real heir to lewis group
01:05:12laura lewis
01:05:13She's a divorced host wife a janitor. How can she she can't be it's a lie
01:05:18I'm telling you it's a lie. Do you think we'd lie?
01:05:22We run lewis group
01:05:24Oh chloe you
01:05:27Assaulted me earlier
01:05:29And you came to this meeting to what?
01:05:32sabotage it
01:05:34You'll be hearing from our legal team
01:05:41This is true, mr. Duke, did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:05:44Yes
01:05:46It's all true. She fooled us all
01:05:49The juice tricks us to keep lewis group out of maplewood and control everything themselves. I had no idea
01:05:57But i'm on your side
01:05:59I can give you everything you need
01:06:01all the resources in maplewood miss lewis
01:06:05How would you like us to deal with this?
01:06:07an eye
01:06:09for an eye
01:06:12Since miss duke here loves ruining things
01:06:19I'll target her precious
01:06:21duke
01:06:22Industries
01:06:24I want them bankrupt in 10 minutes
01:06:27You're bluffing
01:06:29You're nobody. You'll always be a nobody and you can't touch me then
01:06:34Consider this a test
01:06:36chloe
01:06:37I didn't need my family's support with shepherd and I certainly don't need it now chloe
01:06:43You dug your own grave you think you can destroy maplewood's leading family with just the shepherd group
01:06:50please
01:06:54We'll see
01:06:59Dad slow down. What are you talking about?
01:07:03Dad
01:07:05No
01:07:07It's impossible chloe, what have you done years of hard work destroyed in minutes
01:07:19What did you do well chloe
01:07:24Isn't this what you wanted to give me a little taste of destruction
01:07:29This is impossible
01:07:31It's impossible
01:07:33Chloe, what have you done?
01:07:35The news is everywhere
01:07:37Shepherd's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market
01:07:40They're hammering our shares
01:07:43Are you sure it's just yes
01:07:45Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato
01:07:49We could go bankrupt. You've ruined everything. Don't worry. Mr. Duke when
01:07:55Your company does go bankrupt
01:07:57I'll buy it at a fire sale price. Your employees won't even be affected
01:08:02Brilliant
01:08:06Now this is my event, please leave brian I did this for us
01:08:14Everything I did I did for us brian
01:08:18Chloe you need help these feelings you have for me. It's not love
01:08:26It's obsession enough if you don't want to ruin everything completely
01:08:31You'll come with me right now
01:08:35Right now
01:08:55What is going on here
01:08:56Did they finally expose laura's lies shepherd group they're the new partner that's partnering up with lewis group for maplewood
01:09:04They're handling all future construction projects
01:09:06That can't be
01:09:08What about us that was our project?
01:09:10Remember laura teamed up with brian
01:09:12Harrison group is practically out. We have no chance
01:09:16We can't give up that easily
01:09:18Remember ian lewis himself appointed me as general manager
01:09:22In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir
01:09:25You're right if we can just meet with the new heir we can bypass the shepherds and meet directly with the lewis group
01:09:32We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top
01:09:41Vice presidents allow me to introduce my associate brian shepherd
01:09:47I'm sure i've mentioned mr. Shepherd finally pleasure to meet you
01:09:52We've looked into your uh company's financial review
01:09:56Very impressive. Thank you
01:09:58Thank you, but a large part of that success is thanks to miss lewis
01:10:04She practically saved me from disaster three times over now brian. You can just call me
01:10:11Miss lewis's recommendation is very telling mr. Shepherd
01:10:15Perhaps today clarifies everything. Mr. Shepherd this opportunity is gone
01:10:22Seize it
01:10:24A woman like laura is not easy to find. Thank you for your kind words. Mr. Vice president
01:10:38Did laura send you to kill me laura
01:10:41hardly
01:10:42I'm, ian lewis ceo and rightful heir of the lewis group
01:10:50So you're laura's uncle in the flesh

01:11:11Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover
01:11:15And we can't let that happen. Can we my dear?
01:11:19If you're ian lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring? Well, my dear
