Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:09What 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.
00:00:24They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:28Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:35Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunch time.
00:00:44Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:46Excuse me ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of 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?
00:01:09Wait, what are you doing?
00:01:12What are you doing?
00:01:13You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.
00:01:15You can't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:18This is incredible!
00:01:20What's going on?
00:01:21The shirting attempt!
00:01:23It's failing!
00:01:24The price is holding!
00:01:27Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:33We met before.
00:01:35They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:37Hold on.
00:01:38Tell me.
00:01:39How could I ever repay for this?
00:01:41If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:51Jason?
00:01:52Can we have five now?
00:01:53What are you doing?
00:01:54Mr. Yates?
00:01:55What?
00:01:56Only two bodyguards this time?
00:01:57You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:01:58No ma'am, I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:01:59Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:00Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't fair.
00:02:01No.
00:02:02You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:03No ma'am, I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:02:06Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:24Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't fair.
00:02:28Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:35Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:41Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:45Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:02:50Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house, for my sake.
00:02:57Ma'am, divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:06Divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:16Why?
00:03:17You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:19The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now,
00:03:22especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:03:25The Shepherd Group.
00:03:27And you...
00:03:29You're just a cleaner.
00:03:31The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:03:35I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:37I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:41You! A cleaning woman.
00:03:44Handing out million dollar deals.
00:03:46Don't make me laugh.
00:03:50I did!
00:03:51It was my present to Ben for his birthday!
00:03:54I was the one who got Bryan Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:58What are you doing here?
00:04:00Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:03Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:07Local royalty.
00:04:09A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:11And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:04:14Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor.
00:04:18Doesn't it, Ben?
00:04:23What's going on?
00:04:24Is this why you want a divorce?
00:04:26Because of her?
00:04:27Oh, please.
00:04:28I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:04:31You're still a cleaner.
00:04:32We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:34Growing apart?
00:04:38No.
00:04:39No, I...
00:04:40I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:43I won't sign.
00:04:49Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:51Ben.
00:04:53Alright.
00:04:54Here.
00:04:55A hundred thousand dollars.
00:04:56Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:58A hundred thousand dollars.
00:05:01I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:06Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:09Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:11You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:14This is our act of charity to reward you.
00:05:16Here.
00:05:17A million dollars.
00:05:18Take this.
00:05:19You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:21Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:25I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.
00:05:31Since none of you respect me.
00:05:34A cleaning lady.
00:05:36Threatening us.
00:05:38I'm so scared.
00:05:40Just leave.
00:05:41You already make this house stink.
00:05:50Thank God she's gone.
00:05:51Go to a written store.
00:05:56Sir?
00:05:57Laura Lewis' information.
00:05:59She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:06:04No wonder why she wanted us to part with him.
00:06:07Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:10Divorced her?
00:06:13Wait a minute.
00:06:15Don't you remember?
00:06:16She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:21Yeah.
00:06:22She saved our hiding now.
00:06:23Remember?
00:06:24Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:31I don't know.
00:06:33Let's get to the vinyl news.
00:06:37Hey!
00:06:38What are you doing?
00:06:39Let go of me!
00:06:40You attacked Amber!
00:06:41Apologize this instant!
00:06:46Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:47We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:06:49You refused it.
00:06:50And now you're stealing!
00:06:52She couldn't afford it.
00:06:53You're a thief!
00:07:01That's mine!
00:07:02Give it back!
00:07:03That's enough!
00:07:04That's enough!
00:07:06Maura?
00:07:08I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:11It's...
00:07:12It's really no...
00:07:13No worries, Mr. Shepard.
00:07:14But, um...
00:07:16I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:18You see, it's...
00:07:19Who are you?
00:07:20Boar's new squeeze.
00:07:22Excuse me.
00:07:23Do you know who I am?
00:07:24Is this true?
00:07:25You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:07:28Shame on you!
00:07:29Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:30For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:07:34I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:36Oh, please.
00:07:37A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:40You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:43That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:48That's ridiculous.
00:07:49He doesn't look like that.
00:07:52My ring.
00:07:53Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:07:54Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:59Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:08:01Now.
00:08:02Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:08:03Who the heck is this man?
00:08:04Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:06It's a lie, ma'am.
00:08:08This is none of your business.
00:08:09All raggedead bodies.
00:08:10You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on.
00:08:14We are the Harrisons.
00:08:15You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:18Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:08:20I go back.
00:08:21What?
00:08:22Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:08:24That's a lie!
00:08:25Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura!
00:08:27You come back here and explain yourself!
00:08:29Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!
00:08:31Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:38Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:43I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:46After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:51No!
00:08:52Um...
00:08:53No.
00:08:54The event will proceed.
00:08:56Besides, I'll be there.
00:08:59There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:04Who are you, truly?
00:09:06You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.
00:09:10Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:16Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners and we're gonna have a meeting.
00:09:24An investment meeting, one week from today.
00:09:29Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:32Because after that meeting, I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:39Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:09:41I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:43Ben Harrison, you're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:57After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:01Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:06Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:08Security!
00:10:09Get that woman out of here!
00:10:11We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:10:13Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:14This is a business event, after all.
00:10:17Business?
00:10:18You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:10:21A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:10:24Just get out!
00:10:25Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:28You should've taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:31Oh, Ben.
00:10:32Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:35Oh, Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:37Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:39You don't belong here.
00:10:41Just get out!
00:10:43That's what you get.
00:10:53This contract is mine.
00:10:57To give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:00Don't be ridiculous!
00:11:01This is insane!
00:11:02Who do you think you are?
00:11:04Yeah, put that down.
00:11:05You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:06Security!
00:11:07She's lost a mind!
00:11:09This is a disaster!
00:11:10Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you.
00:11:15But since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:19You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help?
00:11:47You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:49Oh, please, honey.
00:11:50You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:52Security!
00:11:53Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:56I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:11:59And after careful consideration,
00:12:02I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:12:07You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:12:12You have no authority here.
00:12:14Of course she has the authority.
00:12:23That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:12:25What is he doing here?
00:12:26Mr. Shepard?
00:12:27How does he know her?
00:12:28Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:30Laura, are you alright?
00:12:34Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.
00:12:37There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:39There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:42This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.
00:12:46Effective immediately.
00:12:48Wait a minute.
00:12:50This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:52It's her.
00:12:53She ruined the contract.
00:12:55You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:57An affair?
00:12:58She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:13:03Mom, please.
00:13:04It's okay.
00:13:05This man is...
00:13:06Don't touch me.
00:13:07That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair and you just stand there?
00:13:12You're a disgrace.
00:13:13An adulterer.
00:13:14You deserve to be around.
00:13:15Shut up.
00:13:19Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess.
00:13:22But I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:13:25Tricked?
00:13:26Why don't you answer a question yourself then?
00:13:30What was my name before we got married?
00:13:34Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:36Lewis group?
00:13:37The financial giants?
00:13:39There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:43That's crazy.
00:13:45There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:48That's absurd.
00:13:49It's...
00:13:50It's...
00:13:51It's...
00:13:52It's absurd!
00:13:53A high society heirs wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:13:57Yeah.
00:13:58Yeah, it's a lie.
00:13:59It's a lie.
00:14:00This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:14:02In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:14:05She's nothing special.
00:14:07She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:09I was just a waitress.
00:14:12How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:14First time I met her, she was in need of waitress at the diner.
00:14:17Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:14:19When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:22Mm-hmm.
00:14:23Now look at me.
00:14:24I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:26And look at her.
00:14:27Still just a clear.
00:14:29Mr. Shepherd, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:33She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:35She's lying, Mr. Shepherd.
00:14:37She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:40Let's make something clear.
00:14:45I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:49I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:55Don't lie.
00:14:56You were never good enough for Ben when you married him. Oops.
00:15:00That roof was built with lies.
00:15:03Kathy, you never respected me.
00:15:05And Ben, dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:10And the cheating.
00:15:12I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:15:15You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:15:20If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy.
00:15:26Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:30From everything.
00:15:36Wait, wait, wait, wait, Laura.
00:15:37You think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:39And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:41I don't think so.
00:15:42You're a cleaner.
00:15:43You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:45Nobody cares about you.
00:15:47Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:51I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
00:16:01I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:16:03I think all jobs are important.
00:16:05Right, Mom?
00:16:06Ben, what are you doing?
00:16:08But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:16:13A janitor?
00:16:14Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:23You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:28Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:16:31This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:35I... but, well...
00:16:37A lie, you say?
00:16:39Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:16:43But I don't recognize you.
00:16:45Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:49Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:52This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:56But the contract?
00:16:58I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:17:00So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:04Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:06Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis involved.
00:17:11I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:18Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:21Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:26Ms. Smith, you lied to us.
00:17:30You destroyed everything.
00:17:32What?
00:17:33No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:17:35I can explain.
00:17:36Lewis?
00:17:37Lewis Family Group?
00:17:39This can't be.
00:17:41Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:43Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:47Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:52And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:17:58Everyone, listen to me.
00:18:02Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
00:18:06A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:13The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:15Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:21Ms. Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:24Help!
00:18:25Mom!
00:18:26Someone get a doctor!
00:18:27Mom!
00:18:28It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:29Indeed.
00:18:30Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:54What?
00:18:55What now?
00:18:57Mom, this is not all on me.
00:19:00Not on you.
00:19:01I was trying to help.
00:19:03She cheated on you with Shepard, flaunted their affair.
00:19:07Exactly.
00:19:08And those dresses?
00:19:10Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:19:13Ms. Smith, how could you do this?
00:19:15We trusted you completely.
00:19:17What?
00:19:18No, no.
00:19:19I got Ben the deal.
00:19:21I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.
00:19:24She's a liar.
00:19:26Oh, stop it, Amber.
00:19:27You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:19:30Lied?
00:19:31You're on my side.
00:19:33And anyways, I have a plan.
00:19:35The Shepards are no one special.
00:19:38We can expose Laura in all her lies.
00:19:40Go national.
00:19:41We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:44Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to you.
00:19:51Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:19:57Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:20:00It's alright, Laura.
00:20:01You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:20:04Can I ask you something?
00:20:05Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:20:07Maybe a hotel?
00:20:08Don't...
00:20:09Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:10I'll be fine.
00:20:12Um...
00:20:13Excuse me, you can just drop me off.
00:20:14Actually, Laura...
00:20:15Actually, Laura...
00:20:16There is something else.
00:20:18Would you consider going out for dinner sometime?
00:20:21Just casually, of course.
00:20:23Mr. Shepard, are...
00:20:25Are you asking me out?
00:20:27Please, call me Brian.
00:20:29And yes...
00:20:32Technically, you're single now.
00:20:34Yes, that may be true, but...
00:20:37Going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly...
00:20:43Proper.
00:20:44Proper?
00:20:45Proper?
00:20:46Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:20:51Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:20:56Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:20:58So what do you say?
00:21:01Dinner?
00:21:02Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:06I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:21:11I actually have another appointment tonight.
00:21:13So I...
00:21:14I can't...
00:21:15Wait, Laura...
00:21:16Just here is fine.
00:21:20Laura?
00:21:25Laura!
00:21:26Who is it?
00:21:27Laura, wait!
00:21:29Jason, find out who owns that car.
00:21:32And do it fast.
00:21:36Iain Lewis, who is this?
00:21:43It's Amber Smith.
00:21:44Mr. Lewis?
00:21:45I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:51I don't know who you are, Miss Smith.
00:21:54How did you get this number?
00:21:56Don't worry about that right now.
00:21:58I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:22:01Someone I know very well.
00:22:03Impersonating my niece?
00:22:05And where is this fake Laura?
00:22:10Right here in Maplewood.
00:22:12And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:15Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:22:19And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:22:24In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:22:28I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:22:31All will be revealed then.
00:22:33Very well.
00:22:34I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.
00:22:37But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:22:40It won't be.
00:22:41Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:22:43Thank you, Mr.
00:22:45That little rascal, Laura.
00:22:54I wonder what she's up to now.
00:23:00That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubler.
00:23:04That's interesting.
00:23:05Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:23:06I'm not sure.
00:23:07Brian!
00:23:08There you are.
00:23:09I've missed you.
00:23:10Chloe.
00:23:11What are you up to?
00:23:12Chloe.
00:23:13What are you doing here?
00:23:14What do you mean?
00:23:15Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:16We ended things for a reason.
00:23:17It was just one teensy mistake.
00:23:20I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:21Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:22Teensy mistake, you said?
00:23:23You cheated on me.
00:23:24I'm not sure.
00:23:25I'm not sure.
00:23:26I'm not sure.
00:23:27Brian!
00:23:28There you are.
00:23:29I've missed you.
00:23:30Chloe.
00:23:31What are you up to?
00:23:32Chloe.
00:23:33What are you up to?
00:23:34Chloe.
00:23:35What are you doing here?
00:23:36What do you mean?
00:23:37Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:38We ended things for a reason.
00:23:39It was just one teensy mistake.
00:23:40I was, I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:42Is this your new fling?
00:23:47Ex-divorcey.
00:23:49Used to clean floor.
00:23:51It's quite the catch, you say.
00:23:53Look.
00:23:54My relationship with her is none of your business.
00:23:57And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:24:00Please.
00:24:02An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:24:06It's a classic story.
00:24:07That's enough.
00:24:08I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:24:11You want to be careful, Brian.
00:24:13Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:16If you want Shepard Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.
00:24:24Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:27This is it.
00:24:28The Lewis Group vice presidents are on the top floor.
00:24:29Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:42I'll go speak with them first and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:46Well, well, well.
00:24:47Look who it is.
00:24:49What a surprise.
00:24:50Did Brian teach you already?
00:24:52That's none of your business.
00:24:56Now move aside, please.
00:24:57Laura?
00:24:58Just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
00:25:01You really think you can just ruin my events again?
00:25:03Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:25:04Don't you have any shame?
00:25:05If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:25:09Oh, the nerve.
00:25:11After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?
00:25:16Seriously?
00:25:17I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:22Oh, that's gold.
00:25:23You really think that they're gonna let you in, Laura?
00:25:26Please, you're no one compared to me.
00:25:28You don't deserve to be here.
00:25:30The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:25:35And you, idiot.
00:25:37Believing every lie that she tells you.
00:25:39Wake up, Ben.
00:25:41Oh, Laura!
00:25:42Laura, come on.
00:25:43Why do you always pull this on me?
00:25:45I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:25:49I know what this is.
00:25:51So stupid.
00:25:53Oh, such a trap.
00:25:55Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:25:57He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:26:00Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.
00:26:04And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:26:08Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this.
00:26:18Oh, that's rich.
00:26:19You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.
00:26:22I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.
00:26:26Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?
00:26:30You mean my uncle?
00:26:32Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:34Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:26:38And besides, this looks fake.
00:26:42She's a liar.
00:26:44This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:48It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.
00:26:54She's lying.
00:26:55They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:27:02Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?
00:27:05Not that I know of.
00:27:07See? She's lying.
00:27:09There you have it, Laura. Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:27:13Go on, get lost before things get worse.
00:27:18Here, take this one.
00:27:20Lead me to the vice presidents.
00:27:22You have no idea what you just did.
00:27:26There will be consequences.
00:27:30Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,
00:27:36why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?
00:27:41Security! Security! We need this woman removed immediately.
00:27:44She is harassing me.
00:27:45We're done with your games, Laura.
00:27:47You're just a fraud.
00:27:48Man, please move.
00:27:49What?
00:27:50Hold on!
00:27:54Brian Shepard?
00:27:56You think money buys you the right to walk all over people?
00:27:59Well, it doesn't.
00:28:00Yeah. Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?
00:28:03What other plans do you have to destroy this time?
00:28:05Get you out?
00:28:07After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.
00:28:09Don't play dumb.
00:28:11We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:28:13How long has this little affair been going on?
00:28:15You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.
00:28:18Hold on a second.
00:28:20An affair?
00:28:22You think Laura and I?
00:28:24You people are unbelievable.
00:28:28Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP.
00:28:31We have a situation.
00:28:33What, you think you can just boss the manager around now? Is that it?
00:28:36Well, stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:39Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.
00:28:41How can I help you this evening?
00:28:42Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:45It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:49These people don't think that I belong here.
00:28:52Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:55A cleaner? Nonsense.
00:28:57I personally agreed to Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:29:01Exactly.
00:29:03Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:10I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:29:14No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.
00:29:18She's been this way since my son divorced her. She's insane.
00:29:21Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.
00:29:25She helped secure a profitable investment for Sheppard Group.
00:29:30No, it's a lie.
00:29:32Mr. Sheppard, she's tricking you too.
00:29:37You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.
00:29:43Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?
00:29:46Wait, is that why you're covering for her? Huh? Because of the affair? Because she slept with you?
00:29:51Excuse me, who are you? And how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:29:55Enough of this. She's right there.
00:29:56That's enough. Have you embarrassed yourself enough?
00:29:59This is Lewis Group property. Behave or I'll call security.
00:30:03But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access. She shouldn't be here.
00:30:08Since you're having trouble understanding them, let me make it clear.
00:30:13However, this hotel is owned by the Lewis family.
00:30:17It's mine. To come or go as I please.
00:30:25Thank you for stepping in, Brian. I owe you one.
00:30:29We'll talk about this later.
00:30:32Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harrison.
00:30:37We'll talk about this later.
00:30:43Come in.
00:30:46Excuse me, Vice Presidents.
00:30:49I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.
00:30:53I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today?
00:30:56Maplewood Branch.
00:30:58Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Ms. Smith.
00:31:03Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:31:07Ian Lewis, Mr. Lewis, reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:31:16Oh, expansion plans? Ms. Smith?
00:31:20A decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:31:23And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.
00:31:28But Ian Lewis assured me that...
00:31:31Ms. Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.
00:31:34Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.
00:31:37Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...
00:31:40Ms. Smith, we'd like you to leave. If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:44We'll call security.
00:31:50Hey, stop there. These elevators are VIP only. Back, please.
00:31:55Of course. My apologies.
00:32:03Laura?
00:32:06Vice Presidents! It's so good to see all of you again.
00:32:11Ms. Lewis, it's been too long.
00:32:13Your return is a lifesaver, Ms. Lewis.
00:32:16The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:32:22The board are begging you to come back, Ms. Lewis.
00:32:26Well, please sit. Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.
00:32:33We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.
00:32:39Local powerhouses and smaller players, too. They'll all be there in one spot.
00:32:45Ms. Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith. She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.
00:32:56She said that, did she? Well, Ms. Smith is a liar. There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:33:03Well, she lied so blatantly. It was unbelievable.
00:33:06But, don't worry. I found a much more suitable partner. Shepard Group.
00:33:13Shepard Group? Their rise to a public company has been impressive. Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:22So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:33:26Oh, don't worry about Amber. I've got plans for her.
00:33:32Ms. Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the legend from us.
00:33:44Cheers. Cheers.
00:33:55No, I'm not leaving. What are you talking about? No, come on.
00:33:57Wait! I'm Amber Smith. I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch. What are you talking about?
00:34:01These are my guests. Yeah, that's right. Tell them who we are.
00:34:04Yes, we were waiting for Ms. Smith.
00:34:08Lewis Group, Maplewood branch? No such thing, ma'am. And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:34:14Of course. Laura! She's probably sleeping with the manager as well. That's how she gets away with everything.
00:34:21You underestimate her, Cathy. She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.
00:34:26No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:34:29Careful with your words. Both of you. Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:38Look who can't even get into a meeting. Whilst I've secured three with all the vice presidents.
00:34:43And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:34:46Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:34:49Used me? Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:53You're so stupid. She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:34:58Don't worry, Brian. You deserve better. And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:35:05Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:35:10New branch manager, huh? Interesting.
00:35:14Laura Lewis? What are you doing here? Get out of here!
00:35:17You claim to be the mystery guest.
00:35:20Don't play games, Laura. I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:35:26Only the top companies get those. Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:35:31Is that so?
00:35:33Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:35:38You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.
00:35:43And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:35:48Escort them out.
00:35:49What?
00:35:50Their visit is over.
00:35:51Oh, come on. This way, please.
00:35:54I'm not leaving.
00:35:56Move. We're not leaving again. Move.
00:35:58Oh, no, no, no. We're not going now.
00:36:00Okay, fine, fine, fine.
00:36:01This isn't over, Laura. You'll see.
00:36:06Thanks for waiting, Ben.
00:36:09Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:13And thank you for defending me. I really appreciate it.
00:36:21Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:25Yes, but it's going to be tricky.
00:36:28Why? I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:36:37Yes.
00:36:38Laura.
00:36:40There's something you should know.
00:36:43Is...
00:36:45Is this about Ben?
00:36:46Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.
00:36:49He won't even get past security.
00:36:52Laura.
00:36:54It's not Ben.
00:36:56It's someone else.
00:36:59Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:37:04Yes.
00:37:06Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:37:07She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:37:12She's my ex-fiancee.
00:37:15And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:37:21And...
00:37:23Let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:37:27And for some reason...
00:37:30She's having a hard time moving on.
00:37:33And...
00:37:35You think that she's gonna cause problems at the meeting?
00:37:40For...
00:37:43Out of...
00:37:45Jealousy?
00:37:47There's a possibility.
00:37:49She's kind of jealous.
00:37:51Well...
00:37:53All the more reason for you to be there.
00:37:56Besides...
00:37:58I'll be there too.
00:38:01It's Chlora.
00:38:04Would you consider being...
00:38:06I guess at the meeting?
00:38:08What?
00:38:10Are you worried that this Chloe's gonna cause problems for me too?
00:38:13Maybe a little.
00:38:14But mostly...
00:38:16I wanna show them we're team.
00:38:18Well...
00:38:19It's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.
00:38:24Lauren...
00:38:29I don't care about your past.
00:38:31I just want to be by your side.
00:38:33I think I'm falling for you.
00:38:39Ryan...
00:38:45I...
00:38:46I appreciate...
00:38:47Your honesty and...
00:38:49Right now...
00:38:50I...
00:38:51I'm just not...
00:38:52I...
00:38:53I just don't really have romance...
00:38:54On my mind...
00:38:55Right now...
00:38:56Just...
00:38:57With...
00:38:58With everything going on...
00:38:59And...
00:39:00Going on...
00:39:01It's okay.
00:39:02I just want to be upfront.
00:39:04And if Chloe tries anything...
00:39:07You won't face her alone.
00:39:08There's just...
00:39:12One thing...
00:39:13I do need.
00:39:15What is it?
00:39:18A formal dress.
00:39:19Uh...
00:39:20Security!
00:39:21She doesn't belong here.
00:39:22This is a private store.
00:39:23Excuse me.
00:39:24We...
00:39:25Need some assistance.
00:39:26I'm looking for...
00:39:27A very particular dress.
00:39:28Wow.
00:39:29It's...
00:39:30Beautiful.
00:39:31It is.
00:39:32I'll try this one off.
00:39:33Uh...
00:39:34Don't bother with her.
00:39:35She can't afford anything here.
00:39:36She's just a cleaner.
00:39:37She doesn't deserve to shop here.
00:39:38She has no money.
00:39:39Yeah exactly.
00:39:40I mean...
00:39:41What are you doing here?
00:39:42Can't you just leave me alone?
00:39:43I wouldn't bat an eyelash...
00:39:44If you just disappeared.
00:39:45I'm here for retail therapy.
00:39:46Haha.
00:39:47Oh please...
00:39:48I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:39:49I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:39:50Wow.
00:39:51It's...
00:39:52It's...
00:39:53Beautiful.
00:39:54It is.
00:39:55I'll try this one off.
00:39:56Don't bother with her.
00:39:57She can't afford anything here.
00:39:58She's just a cleaner.
00:39:59She doesn't deserve to shop here.
00:40:00She has no money.
00:40:01Yeah exactly.
00:40:02I mean...
00:40:03What are you doing here?
00:40:04Can't you just leave me alone?
00:40:05I wouldn't bat an eyelash...
00:40:06If you just disappeared.
00:40:07I'm here for retail therapy.
00:40:08Haha.
00:40:09Oh please.
00:40:10This store is for the A-list only.
00:40:12Not some cheapskate like you.
00:40:14Says the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:40:16Hey.
00:40:17Show some respect.
00:40:18Wow.
00:40:19Typical Laura.
00:40:20Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.
00:40:23I would have asked you but...
00:40:25Without me, I'm sure you're already broke.
00:40:27Oh please.
00:40:28Come on.
00:40:29We'll take the dress.
00:40:30Sir, this particular dress is...
00:40:32Not for sale.
00:40:33Uh...
00:40:34What do you mean you don't sell it?
00:40:35I want it.
00:40:36Name your price.
00:40:37It's not about the price, ma'am.
00:40:40This one was custom made for Miss Lewis.
00:40:42The Lewis Group heiress.
00:40:43The entire brand belongs to her.
00:40:45This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.
00:40:49It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:40:52What are you talking about?
00:40:53Of course it would suit her.
00:40:54It'd fit her just fine.
00:40:55And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:40:59Well, buying the whole store.
00:41:01Allow me to purchase this dress.
00:41:07Oh please.
00:41:08Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?
00:41:11We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:41:13Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.
00:41:16You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:41:18Could you please tell me more about this dress?
00:41:21Of course.
00:41:22It was custom made for Laura Lewis.
00:41:26Heiress to the Lewis Group Fortune.
00:41:28Hand stitched in Italy, naturally.
00:41:30And apparently there are many more like it.
00:41:32High-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.
00:41:38Laura, do you like this dress?
00:41:42Of course.
00:41:43It's custom made for me.
00:41:45I'm just here to take what's already mine.
00:41:48Oh, you can't be serious.
00:41:49There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.
00:41:53Fine, fine.
00:41:54If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?
00:41:57It would look incredible on me.
00:41:59Miss, this dress is very delicate.
00:42:02If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:42:07Are you calling me fat?
00:42:08Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand?
00:42:13How's that sound?
00:42:14Sir, are you serious?
00:42:16You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:42:19This brand is worth at least 50 million dollars.
00:42:22And to buy it for a waitress?
00:42:25Are you out of your mind?
00:42:27Yes.
00:42:28You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:42:31Just one second.
00:42:34Yes, this is Brian Shepherd.
00:42:36CEO of Shepherd Group.
00:42:38I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:42:40I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.
00:42:45What?
00:42:46Sorry, Dad.
00:42:47That brand is not for sale.
00:42:49You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.
00:42:54Mr. Yates.
00:42:55Yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:42:56I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepherd Group.
00:42:58Oh, come on.
00:42:59Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:43:00Exactly.
00:43:01Come on, this is pathetic.
00:43:02You really think this is gonna work?
00:43:03It's sad.
00:43:04Excellent.
00:43:05Thank you, Mr. Yates.
00:43:06That's all.
00:43:07Thank you, Mr. Yates.
00:43:08That's all.
00:43:09Yes?
00:43:10Yes?
00:43:11What?
00:43:12Are you really into selling the brand?
00:43:13Awesome.
00:43:17Thank you, Mr. Yates.
00:43:18That's all.
00:43:19Yes?
00:43:20What?
00:43:21Are you really into selling the brand?
00:43:23Awesome.
00:43:26Hello?
00:43:27Yes?
00:43:28Yes?
00:43:29What?
00:43:30Are you willing to sell me the brand?
00:43:33Awesome.
00:43:35Hello?
00:43:36Yes?
00:43:37Wow.
00:43:38Yes, of course.
00:43:39Absolutely.
00:43:40Mm-hmm.
00:43:42Hello?
00:43:43Yes?
00:43:44Wow.
00:43:45Yes, of course.
00:43:46Absolutely.
00:43:47Mm-hmm.
00:43:49Uh, the store, along with the entire store?
00:43:51Yes, of course.
00:43:52Absolutely.
00:43:54Uh, the store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepherd.
00:43:59The Shepherd Group is the new owner.
00:44:01How may I be upstairs to date?
00:44:03Well, Lauren, I don't know much about pressure.
00:44:07So I would like to give this brand to you.
00:44:09You can't be serious.
00:44:11You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:44:14Don't listen to her, Brian.
00:44:16You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.
00:44:20You're not welcome here.
00:44:21I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:28I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:30Of course.
00:44:33Oh, come on.
00:44:34Sir?
00:44:35Ma'am?
00:44:36You're afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:44:37Well, we're not leaving.
00:44:38Okay?
00:44:39Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:40This isn't over, Laura!
00:44:42Could I try the dress on now?
00:44:43Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:44:44You just follow me.
00:44:52Wow.
00:44:54Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.
00:45:00Laura, you look breathtaking in this race.
00:45:04Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:45:11Laura, because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.
00:45:18And that includes this dress.
00:45:23Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:45:26I...
00:45:28I need a moment.
00:45:30Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:45:36Does that mean you could be a yes?
00:45:39Maybe.
00:45:45Hi.
00:45:53Hi.
00:45:54What?
00:45:58Well, well, well.
00:46:00Look who decided to join the party.
00:46:02Playing dress-up again, Laura?
00:46:04One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:46:07And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:46:10You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?
00:46:13For this.
00:46:14This gold digger.
00:46:16You know, Ben.
00:46:17I really cared about you.
00:46:18Even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:46:21I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:46:25Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:46:30Enough!
00:46:32I've had enough of this drama.
00:46:34Yeah, me too.
00:46:36Try that again, and you'll regret it.
00:46:38I'll get the hell on my face.
00:46:39Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:46:42Yeah.
00:46:45I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:46:48What?
00:46:49That's impossible.
00:46:51I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:46:53No.
00:46:56Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group.
00:46:59The name is on the list.
00:47:01Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.
00:47:05You don't have an invitation.
00:47:06You're just here because of Brian.
00:47:12Let me see this.
00:47:13This doesn't even look real.
00:47:14It's different from mine.
00:47:16Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:18This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:47:25Please, right this way.
00:47:27We can continue this discussion later.
00:47:29If you manage to get in.
00:47:34Sir?
00:47:35Madam?
00:47:37We recommend you leave.
00:47:40There you are!
00:47:41How dare you steal my fiancé?
00:47:46There you are!
00:47:47How dare you steal my fiancé!
00:47:50Looks like another relationship burns the dust, Laura.
00:47:53Looks like stealing men is a habit of yours.
00:47:56Get away from him!
00:47:57He's engaged to me!
00:47:59Hey, hey, hey. Hold your horses, Gwen.
00:48:01That ended a long time ago.
00:48:03Engaged to you.
00:48:05Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:48:08Your relationship's history.
00:48:11That was just a little tiff.
00:48:13You really think that could tear us apart?
00:48:14Don't you know who I am?
00:48:18Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:48:20Oh, honey.
00:48:21She don't recognize royalty, let alone a duke.
00:48:24She's just a maid, remember?
00:48:26I don't have time for all this drama.
00:48:29Brian?
00:48:31Let's head inside.
00:48:33Brian!
00:48:34How could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:48:38Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:48:42There's nothing left to say, Gwen.
00:48:44Don't make this a scene.
00:48:46Shall we?
00:48:48You okay, Miss Duke?
00:48:54And you are?
00:48:56Amber Smith.
00:48:58I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:49:01What branch? I've never heard of it.
00:49:03What do you want from me?
00:49:04That Laura!
00:49:06She tore up my invitation.
00:49:07Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:09What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:49:12Please don't waste my time.
00:49:14I don't have my time.
00:49:45If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:49:49The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:49:53Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.
00:49:57Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:49:59Good.
00:50:01I need your help with something.
00:50:03What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.
00:50:06It's Brian.
00:50:08Who's that woman? I thought you were...
00:50:10She's a con woman.
00:50:12She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:15What?
00:50:17Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:21Well, she's pretending to be a Lewis to get close to him.
00:50:25What are you planning?
00:50:27I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:50:29Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:36I had no idea she would be so...
00:50:40intense.
00:50:42What do you mean?
00:50:45You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:50:48I mean, you guys are just...
00:50:50power couple.
00:50:52I see what you're doing.
00:50:56Power couple, you say?
00:50:58More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:51:02Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:51:05Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:51:09is up there.
00:51:11Really?
00:51:13She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:51:15Excuse me.
00:51:17This is my VIP invitation.
00:51:18I can sit wherever I like.
00:51:22Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:51:24This is signed by all three VPs of Lewis Group.
00:51:28Where did you get this?
00:51:30Who did you have to sleep with?
00:51:32That's enough.
00:51:34This is getting us nowhere.
00:51:36Laura is my guest.
00:51:38And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:51:43Got it?
00:51:45Mr. Shepherd.
00:51:47What do you see in that woman?
00:51:49Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:51:52She's from a good family.
00:51:54Beautiful and successful.
00:51:56What more could you ask for?
00:51:58That's a good question.
00:52:00Not much, actually.
00:52:03Honesty.
00:52:05That's what I want.
00:52:07And love.
00:52:09Things that, clearly, Chloe has no idea.
00:52:11I said I was sorry.
00:52:14What more do you want?
00:52:16I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:52:18She's like a daughter to me.
00:52:20I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:52:26One more chance, Brian.
00:52:28Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:52:31Do it, Mr. Shepherd.
00:52:33Propose. Right here. Right now.
00:52:36Brian?
00:52:38Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:52:43By forcing a ring on someone?
00:52:47Do it, or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:52:56Don't you dare.
00:52:58You're humiliating yourself.
00:53:00How dare you?
00:53:02Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:53:04Yes.
00:53:07I like it.
00:53:10But I can't imagine someone like her, interested in me.
00:53:15The truth is, I wouldn't be here, where I am today, without her.
00:53:20Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:23Exactly! This woman is trouble!
00:53:26She doesn't belong here!
00:53:27Throw her out!
00:53:28You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me.
00:53:33Interesting turn of events.
00:53:36Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:53:40Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress Laura Lewis?
00:53:46One more chance, Brian!
00:53:50You're right, Chloe.
00:53:52How ridiculous!
00:53:54Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:53:56I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but...
00:54:02Wow!
00:54:04Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?
00:54:06You have no right to talk to Ms. Duke like that!
00:54:10That's enough!
00:54:11You don't get to talk here!
00:54:13You got mad, Shepard!
00:54:14You dare to go against Ms. Duke!
00:54:16And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:54:18Anyone who insults Laura.
00:54:21Leaves with a black eye.
00:54:23She's willing to defend the Duke for her.
00:54:25What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:27I want to be careful, Brian.
00:54:29Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:54:31Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:54:36The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially none.
00:54:41Shepard Group.
00:54:46Lewis Group RS?
00:54:48You?
00:54:50Don't make me laugh.
00:54:52Security!
00:54:53Remove these two impostors from the premises.
00:54:56Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:54:57Give Brian another chance.
00:54:59Choose, Brian.
00:55:01Me and the future you deserve.
00:55:02Or this...
00:55:04Fraught.
00:55:07Chloe.
00:55:09I have everything that I ever wanted.
00:55:11Right here.
00:55:13And I wouldn't trade all the powers that took so on me.
00:55:16Fine.
00:55:23Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:24What?
00:55:27You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:30Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:32The Duke family.
00:55:33They can't be serious.
00:55:34Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:36Brian.
00:55:38You don't have to do this for me.
00:55:40Laura.
00:55:42I will never let anyone bully you.
00:55:45Let alone them.
00:55:47Thank you, Brian.
00:55:49For...
00:55:50For believing in me.
00:55:52For protecting me.
00:55:54Now it's my turn.
00:55:56To protect you.
00:56:00Listen carefully.
00:56:03I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.
00:56:09At all costs.
00:56:11Don't let it drop.
00:56:13Even one cent.
00:56:14Do you understand?
00:56:16Wow.
00:56:18Award winning performance, Laura.
00:56:21But you can't possibly control the stock market.
00:56:24Wanna put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:28If...
00:56:30The Shepard stock holds...
00:56:33For the next five minutes...
00:56:36You owe me a public apology.
00:56:46Deal.
00:56:50Well...
00:56:52Looks like your five minutes is up.
00:56:56Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
00:56:58What the?
00:57:00Does Shepard group stock prices?
00:57:02It's going up!
00:57:04This can't be happening.
00:57:05It must be a coincidence.
00:57:07Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
00:57:10There was a huge investment.
00:57:12We couldn't compete.
00:57:13Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:15How did you do this?
00:57:17Like I asked.
00:57:19There was a huge investment.
00:57:21We couldn't compete.
00:57:22Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:25How did you do this?
00:57:26Like I said, Chloe.
00:57:30I'm...
00:57:32Laura Lewis.
00:57:34No, you're not.
00:57:35You're just some cleaner.
00:57:36You don't have access to billions.
00:57:38Well...
00:57:40I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:47No.
00:57:49I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:51There is no way I'm apologizing to you.
00:57:53If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:57:57Chloe?
00:57:59The truth is...
00:58:01Everyone here...
00:58:03Has seen you be a bully.
00:58:05And a coward.
00:58:07And now...
00:58:09A sore loser.
00:58:10This is so humiliating for her.
00:58:14How did she manage that?
00:58:16Maybe she really is a Lewis.
00:58:19Apologize to Miss Lewis.
00:58:21Shut up.
00:58:22Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.
00:58:25Don't forget, the Duke family owned half of Maplewood.
00:58:29You know, Lizard, let's get out of here.
00:58:32Hold on.
00:58:34This...
00:58:36Is where I belong.
00:58:38And that...
00:58:40Is my chair.
00:58:42You can't go there, that is the VIP section.
00:58:45Only those invited by the Lewis Group Vice Presidents get to sit there.
00:58:49Like I said, Chloe...
00:58:52That's my seat.
00:58:53I had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
00:59:02Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepard, wasn't it?
00:59:11Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
00:59:13Is this how you charm all your men?
00:59:15Shall we?
00:59:17My pleasure.
00:59:19What are you doing?
00:59:20Poor boy.
00:59:21Let go.
00:59:22It doesn't matter what happened.
00:59:23I chose to stay by Laura's side.
00:59:27Let's go.
00:59:29Don't be absurd.
00:59:30That seat is reserved for a very important guest.
00:59:34Someone so esteemed, even the Vice Presidents have to bow low.
00:59:40And...
00:59:42How exactly, Mr. Jones?
00:59:46Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
00:59:49Wait.
00:59:50That's Peter Young.
00:59:51Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group.
00:59:57Ah, that's Peter Young.
00:59:58He decides which investments are...
00:59:59It's Peter Young.
01:00:00It's Chloe Duke.
01:00:01Head of Duke Industries.
01:00:02So glad you could join us.
01:00:04Why is everyone standing around?
01:00:05It's her.
01:00:07She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat.
01:00:10It's embarrassing.
01:00:11That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
01:00:15Specifically the family heir.
01:00:16Please get off the stage.
01:00:19Oh, yes.
01:00:21Mr. Young, was it?
01:00:23I think I remember you.
01:00:24You manage my family's investments.
01:00:28Don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:00:31Please get off the stage.
01:00:33That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.
01:00:35I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:00:43I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:00:48This is ridiculous.
01:00:49You.
01:00:50The Lewis heir.
01:00:51Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:00:54You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:00:57Exactly.
01:00:58We ran a background check on her.
01:01:00And it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.
01:01:03Before that, a cashier in my family's supermarket.
01:01:04See, Brian.
01:01:05This is who you've been chasing after.
01:01:06A liar and a cheat.
01:01:07Security.
01:01:08Get this imposter out of here.
01:01:09Everyone here is a witness.
01:01:10Why would any of you trust Laura?
01:01:11If any of you dares to harm her, you have to go through me first.
01:01:12Brian, she's just some nobody.
01:01:13She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.
01:01:14They didn't even want her.
01:01:15What exactly do you see in her?
01:01:16Escort this imposter out of here.
01:01:17See, Brian.
01:01:18This is who you've been chasing after.
01:01:19A liar and a cheat.
01:01:20Security.
01:01:21Get this imposter out of here.
01:01:22Everyone here is a witness.
01:01:23Why would any of you trust Laura?
01:01:25If any of you dares to harm her, you have to go through me first.
01:01:31Brian, she's just some nobody.
01:01:34She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.
01:01:37They didn't even want her.
01:01:38What exactly do you see in her?
01:01:40Get, escort this imposter out of here.
01:01:42Now.
01:01:43Oh, Peter.
01:01:52Peter, do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:01:56Mr. Yates, I'm so glad you could join us.
01:02:01Miss Lewis, sorry about the delay and for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:02:06It's no trouble, Mr. Yates.
01:02:09Luckily, I haven't been alone.
01:02:11I've had the great company of my very loyal friend.
01:02:17Wait a minute.
01:02:18She's Miss Lewis.
01:02:19Is this a joke?
01:02:21Mr. Young, you're new to the Lewis Group, so I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.
01:02:27But she listened to lies without checking the facts, and almost called the police.
01:02:35Tell me, Mr. Young, who put you up to this?
01:02:40Was it my uncle or Ian Lewis?
01:02:41I knew it.
01:02:42Consider this your termination.
01:02:43I get it now.
01:02:45This is all an act.
01:02:46Right?
01:02:47Chloe, what are you doing?
01:02:48We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:02:49Work with them?
01:02:50Are you blind?
01:02:51This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:02:52That's enough, young lady.
01:02:53You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.
01:02:56Oh, Chloe.
01:02:57I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:02:58I think you need some professional help.
01:02:59Maybe I can make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:03:00Chloe, that's enough.
01:03:01It's ridiculous.
01:03:02If you were really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.
01:03:03See, what are you doing?
01:03:04What are you doing?
01:03:05What are you doing?
01:03:06We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:03:07Work with them?
01:03:08Are you blind?
01:03:09This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:03:10That's enough, young lady.
01:03:11You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.
01:03:12Oh, Chloe.
01:03:13I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:03:15I think you need some professional help.
01:03:18Maybe I can make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:03:21Chloe, that's enough.
01:03:22It's ridiculous.
01:03:23If you were really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.
01:03:27So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:03:29Show us the ring!
01:03:34Why don't you show that to everyone?
01:03:36Show us the ring!
01:03:38Show us the ring!
01:03:39Who are you to make demands of me?
01:03:42I don't answer to anyone but myself.
01:03:46I don't need any of your validation.
01:03:52There's a ring.
01:03:57Vice Presidents, I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.
01:04:01This woman is an imposter.
01:04:03Ms Lewis, we apologise for the delay.
01:04:06How could you split that con woman and sit there?
01:04:09Get her out of here!
01:04:10This seat was always for Ms Lewis.
01:04:12She's the special guest we've been waiting for.
01:04:16The investment queen.
01:04:18The real heir to Lewis Group.
01:04:21Laura Lewis.
01:04:23She has a divorced housewife.
01:04:25A janitor.
01:04:26How can she?
01:04:27She can't be.
01:04:28It's a lie, I'm telling you.
01:04:29It's a lie.
01:04:30Do you think we'd lie?
01:04:32We run Lewis Group.
01:04:34Oh, Chloe.
01:04:36You assaulted me earlier.
01:04:39And you came to this meeting to what?
01:04:42Sabotage it.
01:04:44You'll be hearing from our legal team.
01:04:50Is this true, Mr?
01:04:51Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:04:55Yes, it's all true.
01:04:57She fooled us all.
01:04:58The Duke tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewoods
01:05:02and control everything themselves.
01:05:04I have no idea.
01:05:05But I'm on your side.
01:05:07I can give you everything you need.
01:05:10All the resources in Maplewood.
01:05:12Miss Lewis.
01:05:13How would you like us to deal with this?
01:05:16An eye for an eye.
01:05:21Since Miss Duke here loves ruining things,
01:05:27I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:05:32I want them bankrupt in ten minutes.
01:05:35You're bluffing.
01:05:37You're nobody.
01:05:38You'll always be a nobody.
01:05:40And you can't touch me.
01:05:41Then consider this a test, Chloe.
01:05:45I didn't need my family's support with Shepard
01:05:48and I certainly don't need it now.
01:05:50Chloe, you dug your own grave.
01:05:53You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family
01:05:57with just the Shepard group?
01:05:59Please.
01:06:00We'll see.
01:06:08Dad?
01:06:10Slow down.
01:06:11What are you talking about?
01:06:14No.
01:06:16It's impossible.
01:06:18Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:20Years of hard work.
01:06:21Just draw it in minutes.
01:06:2240 minutes.
01:06:27What did you do?
01:06:29Well, Chloe, isn't this what you wanted?
01:06:33To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:06:36This is impossible.
01:06:38It's impossible.
01:06:39Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:42The news is everywhere.
01:06:44Shepard's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market.
01:06:47They're hammering our shares.
01:06:50Are you sure it's just Shepard?
01:06:52Yes!
01:06:53Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato.
01:06:57We could go bankrupt.
01:06:58You've ruined everything.
01:07:00Don't worry, Mr. Duke.
01:07:01When your company does go bankrupt, I'll buy it.
01:07:06At a fire sale price.
01:07:07Your employees won't even be affected.
01:07:09Brilliant.
01:07:10A master's job, Ms. Lois.
01:07:13Now, this is my event.
01:07:18Please leave.
01:07:19Brian, I did this for us.
01:07:21Everything I did, I did for us, Brian.
01:07:26Chloe, you need help.
01:07:29These feelings you have for me, it's not love.
01:07:34It's obsession.
01:07:36Enough.
01:07:37If you don't want to ruin everything completely,
01:07:39you'll come with me right now.
01:07:42No.
01:07:43Right now.
01:07:44No!
01:07:45No!
01:07:46No!
01:07:49No!
01:07:51No!
01:07:52This isn't Arva!
01:07:54Get off me!
01:07:56What is it?
01:07:58You hear me?
01:08:00What is going on here?
01:08:03Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:08:05Shepard Group, they're the new partner that's partnering up with Louis Group from Maplewood.
01:08:11They're handling all future construction projects.
01:08:13That can't be!
01:08:14What about us?
01:08:15That was our project.
01:08:16project. Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian. Harrison Group is practically out. We have
01:08:21no chance. We can't give up that easily. Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general
01:08:27manager. In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir. You're
01:08:32right. If we can just meet with a new heir, we can bypass the Shepherds and meet directly
01:08:36with the Lewis Group. We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on
01:08:41top. That's right.
01:08:46Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard. I'm sure I've
01:08:54met you. Mr. Shepard, finally a pleasure to meet you. We've looked into your company's
01:09:00financial review. Very impressive. Thank you. Thank you, but a large part of that success
01:09:07is next to Ms. Lewis. She practically saved me from disaster three times over now. Brian,
01:09:14you can just call me Laura. Ms. Lewis' recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard. Perhaps today
01:09:22clarifies everything. Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is gone. Seize it. A woman like Laura is not
01:09:30easy to find. Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.
01:09:36Did Laura send you to kill me? Laura? Hardly. I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis
01:09:52Group. So you're Laura's uncle? In the flesh. So Laura really is your niece? Yes, little Laura. She just
01:10:04threw away her birthright about two, three years ago. Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.
01:10:10I think he was a Harrison. Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side. Did you hear she's
01:10:16throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover? And we can't let that happen,
01:10:21can we, my dear? If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring? Well, my dear, that's where you come in,
01:10:28Miss Duke. We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:10:34What if I, what if I fail? My family is already ruined. Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say.
01:10:40But, if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family will get back everything you've lost.
01:10:48Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side. How can I possibly get the ring?
01:10:53There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly.
01:11:02Laura, my dear, welcome. Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.
01:11:09Laura. So good to see you. And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps. How have you been?
01:11:20I've been well, Uncle Ian. Thank you for asking. I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.
01:11:28Yes, indeed. Somebody had to. I mean, after you left me with everything to do, without a safe pair of hands,
01:11:36I hate to think it would have happened to the company.
01:11:39Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard, you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.
01:11:47Yes, minor mistakes, minor.
01:11:50Don't worry, Uncle Ian. I won't hold it against you.
01:11:54Oh, good. Well, cheers to you coming back here and the Lewis Group.
01:12:02Oh! I'm so sorry, Laura. How clumsy of me.
01:12:07Uh, no, no worries, Uncle Ian. I... I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.
01:12:14Of course. Right away, just down to the left.
01:12:23Is it wisely?
01:12:25Oh, I will.
01:12:27I will.
01:12:28I will.
01:12:29I will.
01:12:30I will.
01:12:31I will.
01:12:32I will.
01:12:33Hey, Laura. How's that?
01:12:34Hello, Brian. Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:12:35Chloe.
01:12:36How in the hell did you get Laura's phone?
01:12:37Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:12:40Listen, Chloe.
01:12:42Laura, how's that?
01:12:44Hello, Brian. Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:12:47Chloe, how in the hell did you get Laura's phone?
01:12:51Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:12:54Listen, Chloe, don't hurt her. Please.
01:12:59I'll do anything.
01:13:02Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs.
01:13:06Now. Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.
01:13:12Well, you certainly do have your ways.
01:13:19Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up. I am sorry. How clumsy.
01:13:22And don't forget your phone. I retrieved it for you.
01:13:25Thank you. Welcome to Ian.
01:13:27Lovely to see you again.
01:13:28Yeah. I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.
01:13:32At the banquet.
01:13:35I'll see you then.
01:13:36Will do. Looking forward to it.
01:13:40Laura! Laura! Where are you?
01:13:44Laura!
01:13:46Laura! Where are you?
01:13:49Laura! Laura, where are you?
01:13:52Oh!
01:13:57Gotcha.
01:13:59You weren't expecting that, were you?
01:14:01Finally. Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.
01:14:16What the? Laura, where are you? Laura? Laura?
01:14:18Go shut your mouth.
01:14:20Chloe, what have you done? Are you out of your mind?
01:14:25Out of my mind?
01:14:26You were the one that left me for that tramp and destroyed my life!
01:14:30That's not true. You were the one who messed up!
01:14:33Brian!
01:14:34Laura!
01:14:35Stay where you are.
01:14:36You better not come alone.
01:14:37You shot this knife, Chloe. This is insane!
01:14:38Insane? I did this for us, Brian! We were meant to be together.
01:14:52Us? You've gone crazy! And you're out of here!
01:14:55Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious event. They're going to lock you up for years!
01:15:01You think I care about jail time? All I care about is tearing you two apart!
01:15:07You don't deserve him! What have you done? You've destroyed my life! My company, everything!
01:15:16Now I'm going to destroy your life! Give me your family ring now! Give it to me!
01:15:23This is about the ring. Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:15:29You know, Chloe, trying to kill me, that's foolish. Because who do you think is going to win?
01:15:38You, that will not, or me, with something a little bit more persuasive.
01:15:46Freeze! Don't move anyone! Don't move! You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.
01:16:03Miss Lewis, having fun without me. I'm hurt.
01:16:10Are you hurt?
01:16:12No, I'm okay.
01:16:16Tell me, Chloe. Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:16:21Why should I tell you? You're going to kill me anyway!
01:16:24Chloe, I don't have a problem with you. But if you don't talk, your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:16:34Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:37So the choice is yours, Chloe. Talk, or face the consequences.
01:16:43Fine. It was Ian Lewis. He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the bank room today.
01:16:53Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:16:55I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:59I owe every word, Miss Lewis.
01:17:02Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:17:13This is crazy.
01:17:16Are we really sure we can do this? All these big companies here. It's crazy.
01:17:20Absolutely. The Lewis Group is under new leadership. We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:26Exactly. We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:17:30There's Ian Lewis now. You can introduce us. Let's go.
01:17:34Yeah.
01:17:36Hello, Ian Lewis. I'm Amber Smith. We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:39This is Ben Harrison from the Harrison Group.
01:17:42How do you do?
01:17:43We're the company that...
01:17:44Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:46Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:17:50Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:17:56Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:18:02The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:18:04Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:09A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:18:12Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group, Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:18Look, everybody, attention. Attention, please.
01:18:22There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:18:27I just got notice from a phone call a couple of minutes ago that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:18:35And tragically, she hasn't made it. She has not survived.
01:18:42What? Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:46It doesn't matter now. She's gone.
01:18:48Mr. Lewis, is this new...
01:18:49A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:18:52But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.
01:18:58Hold on.
01:19:00Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:03Laura.
01:19:08I don't understand. What's happening?
01:19:12Laura? But weren't you...
01:19:14My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:19:18There seems to be some misunderstanding.
01:19:21Laura, what are you doing here?
01:19:23You gotta stop this. If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:19:27I'll save this once. Back off then.
01:19:34Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:19:36As I'm sure you know, tonight I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:19:49Perhaps you could make some room for me, Uncle Ian.
01:19:53Impossible. How are you still alive?
01:19:56Well, clearly I am alive and well, so why don't we get this started?
01:20:01No. You're not the rightful heir.
01:20:03You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:20:08Uncle Ian, is that seriously your archibest that you have that I got married too quickly?
01:20:13Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger and left me to work tirelessly keeping the company together.
01:20:21Uncle Ian, retire. Enjoy your retirement.
01:20:26Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:20:28No. There can only be one heir, and that's me. And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:20:38You think a ring makes an heir? You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:20:45Give that back to me.
01:20:47This? Yes.
01:20:48You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:20:53Give it back.
01:20:55True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you.
01:21:01Not some stupid ring.
01:21:03Oh, my ring!
01:21:05What have you done? Where is it?
01:21:09My ring!
01:21:10Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.
01:21:13How dare you!
01:21:15Now, let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.
01:21:22Talk.
01:21:24Fine.
01:21:26It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:28He said he helped you in distress if I kept you away from the banker today.
01:21:34Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr Lewis.
01:21:37Security, escort him out.
01:21:40And Ian, don't fall over.
01:21:42It's all lies! It's all lies! Fakery! It's fake news!
01:21:46The proof is clear! Get him out of here! Now!
01:21:51I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:21:57Turns out reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:22:01Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr Shepherd by my side.
01:22:10And he has been a great support.
01:22:14Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:22:20I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:22:25Shepard Group.
01:22:27What?
01:22:29Laura, hold on.
01:22:31This was never my idea. This was all Cathy and Amber's fault.
01:22:35I don't want a divorce.
01:22:37What? Ben, what are you saying? You came to me first.
01:22:40Classic Ben. Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.
01:22:46Just don't shut Harrison Group out. Just give me another chance.
01:22:49How could I shut you out? I'm just a cleaner, remember? I'm just a useless housewife. I don't have that power.
01:22:58What are you talking about? What? No, come on. Sorry. No, please. No.
01:23:03Um, Mr Shepherd?
01:23:07Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:23:09I was wondering if...
01:23:11Maybe you wanted to grab dinner. Sometime.
01:23:17On me.
01:23:19Miss Lewis.
01:23:23I would love to.
