00:00:00They're going to be a father.
00:00:29What's she doing here?
00:00:30What do you think?
00:00:31No need to hide anymore.
00:00:32I'm leaving you.
00:00:33For Catherine.
00:00:34Unlike you, I'm young and rich.
00:00:35I can give Bradley what he deserves.
00:00:36Catherine hired me to be vice president of her family's hospital.
00:00:37She's also way better in bed.
00:00:38What's that?
00:00:39She's pregnant?
00:00:40What?
00:00:42She must be faking it to trap you.
00:00:43She's so desperate.
00:00:44Give it back!
00:00:45Stop!
00:00:46Give it back!
00:00:47Oh!
00:00:48Oh!
00:00:49Oh!
00:00:50Oh!
00:00:51Oh!
00:00:52Oh!
00:00:53Oh!
00:00:54Oh!
00:00:55Oh!
00:00:56Oh!
00:00:57Oh!
00:00:58Oh!
00:00:59Oh!
00:01:00Oh!
00:01:01Oh!
00:01:02Oh!
00:01:03Oh!
00:01:04Oh!
00:01:05Oh!
00:01:06Oh!
00:01:07Oh!
00:01:08Oh!
00:01:09Oh!
00:01:10Oh!
00:01:11Oh!
00:01:12Oh!
00:01:13Oh!
00:01:14Oh!
00:01:15Oh!
00:01:16Here's the baby.
00:01:17Oh!
00:01:18Oh!
00:01:19Oh!
00:01:20Oh!
00:01:21Bradley.
00:01:22What happened to it?
00:01:23The baby.
00:01:24Is the baby okay?
00:01:25Really? What happened? The baby? Is the baby okay?
00:01:44I'm so sorry. We lost the baby.
00:01:51I'm so sorry.
00:01:56We're right here, sweetheart. We're right here.
00:02:08I won't let Bradley and that woman get away with this. I'm ready to come back, Todd.
00:02:15No. Revenge won't heal the heart.
00:02:17This isn't about revenge. This is about holding them accountable.
00:02:20Are you sure you're ready for this?
00:02:22Yes. I've been preparing for years, Mom.
00:02:25Okay. But there is a condition.
00:02:33I have an important announcement.
00:02:35My daughter, Mia Gerber, will be the new CEO of Gerber Corporation.
00:02:40Is Mia ready for such a big role?
00:02:42I've been concealing my identity to go undercover within the industry.
00:02:45I've learned our competitors from the inside.
00:02:48Trust me. I'm more than ready.
00:02:53Furthermore, Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:03:00Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:03:06There is a condition. You're going to have to marry Joshua Lane, the heir of Lane Holdings.
00:03:12Mia's never even met this guy before.
00:03:14It's a strategic alliance, Noah. It's what's best for our family and the company.
00:03:21I'll do it.
00:03:25I'll marry Joshua Lane if that's what it takes.
00:03:30And this alliance will strengthen our company and secure our future.
00:03:37Isn't Joshua Lane famous for being called the Little Ruffles?
00:03:41That's what I heard.
00:03:43I think it'll be good for the company. I don't think it'll be good for the CEO.
00:03:48That's what I heard. I think it'll be good for the company. I don't think it'll be good for the CEO.
00:03:53Joshua, I was hoping we could...
00:04:15Not interested. Get lost.
00:04:18Man, you are brutal. That's the fifth girl you've turned down tonight.
00:04:23Hey, I heard you're getting hitched to Mia Gerber. Why didn't you turn her down?
00:04:27This marriage is what my parents want. I couldn't care less about her.
00:04:30Look at mine. She's the heiress to the Gerber Corporation. There must be some perks to her.
00:04:34Perks are not. She'll learn quickly that I'm not one to be messed with.
00:04:38Gonna give her a hard time, huh?
00:04:40Let's just say that she's got something coming.
00:04:44Do you, Joshua Lane, take Mia Gerber for your lawfully wedded wife?
00:04:49I do.
00:04:52And you, Mia Gerber, do you take Joshua Lane for your lawfully wedded husband?
00:04:57I do.
00:04:59Um, no rings?
00:05:02No.
00:05:04Mia Gerber, do you take Joshua Lane for your lawfully wedded husband?
00:05:08I do.
00:05:10Um, no rings?
00:05:20You may now kiss the bride.
00:05:34Let's get one thing straight, Mia. This marriage is a show for our family and the rest of the world.
00:05:39Don't expect any affection from me.
00:05:42Understood. And vice versa.
00:06:00My parents want to set up a dinner with us. My assistant will set it up.
00:06:04She can coordinate schedules with my assistant.
00:06:06Bye.
00:06:27Joshua has always been so distant with people.
00:06:32Unlike Alex here, who's so popular and charismatic.
00:06:37You should see all the women that can't stop chasing.
00:06:41Well, at least I don't have to worry if Alex will give me a grandson.
00:06:46But I wonder, Joshua, if you can even warm up enough to give me a child.
00:06:52We need an heir after all.
00:06:54Eleanor, that's enough.
00:06:57I'm just saying, perhaps Alex is a better fit to lead Lane Horvitz.
00:07:03Quite the contrary, actually.
00:07:06Joshua's very passionate, especially in the bedroom.
00:07:10No doubt that you'll have that heir soon.
00:07:19For your information, passion is not in my DNA, nor does it align with my personal brand.
00:07:26But still, thank you for signing up.
00:07:31I just didn't appreciate your stepmom's attitude.
00:07:41Get the campaign ready.
00:07:42I want that check out ASAP.
00:07:48Noah, hey. I need a favor.
00:07:55You're right. Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind this PR campaign against Joshua.
00:08:00Blue Diamond PR is already involved.
00:08:03What agency are we using?
00:08:05We're Subtle Sightings. Bids are open for this year's contract.
00:08:09Perfect. I have a plan.
00:08:15I'm offering the Gerber Corporation's annual PR budget. It's one of the largest in the industry.
00:08:21That's an enticing offer, Miss Gerber.
00:08:24What do you ask of me in return?
00:08:26I need you to withdraw from any campaign against Joshua Lane.
00:08:30I don't mind, I'll cover the cancellation fee.
00:08:38You have a deal.
00:08:40The Gerber Corporation account is too good to pass up.
00:08:44There's a little more.
00:08:46I need you to spread the word.
00:08:48Any PR firm that goes against Joshua Lane will be blacklisted from the Gerber Corporation and our allies.
00:08:55You got it. No one in this industry will be stupid enough to fight against the Gerber Corporation.
00:09:02Wonderful. Looking forward to a fruitful partnership.
00:09:12I have evidence of Alex's scheme against you.
00:09:16Don't worry, I've already taken care of it.
00:09:20I always knew Eleanor and Alex would be after my position.
00:09:23I just didn't expect Alex to be this bold.
00:09:26How do you know about this?
00:09:27Alex struck me as opportunistic.
00:09:29A smear campaign is the easiest way to sway the shareholders' opinion.
00:09:33Eleanor's background in PR made this more predictable.
00:09:36You're more perceptive than I thought.
00:09:39Why are you helping me?
00:09:43Our family's alliance is crucial.
00:09:45Protecting you means protecting the Gerber Corporation.
00:09:48It's all business.
00:09:52Business, right.
00:09:54Well, in that case, I should help you with your beef with Kathleen Bradley, right?
00:10:00How did you know about that?
00:10:03You didn't expect me to enter into the marriage without doing background checks.
00:10:07I just don't get what the big deal about your ex is.
00:10:10I mean, he cheated on you. So what?
00:10:15She must be faking it to trap you.
00:10:20How dare you.
00:10:22You had no right to dig into my past like that.
00:10:26I can take care of myself.
00:10:31Watch yourself.
00:10:35To your new position as Senior VP.
00:10:40It's all thanks to my help, of course.
00:10:42Absolutely. You're my lucky charm, honey.
00:10:50Imagine if I'd stayed with Mia.
00:10:53Poor and tireless. That's all she ever was.
00:10:55She's a joke.
00:10:57A stepping stone at best.
00:10:59By my side, we are unstoppable.
00:11:12Katherine's Hospital is resisting our acquisition.
00:11:15Bradley, as the new Senior VP, is leading the pushback.
00:11:19Do they know I'm the CEO yet?
00:11:21No, as per your request.
00:11:23Perfect. Keep at it.
00:11:29Now how do I pull this off?
00:11:40There are gaps in Mia's medical record right after her breakup.
00:11:44These are from the Gerber Corporation's own hospital.
00:11:47Only someone higher up from within can access it.
00:11:56I want to know what happened to Mia during that gap after the breakup.
00:12:00Even if I know, why would I tell you?
00:12:02Mia helped me, but unless I understand that part of the puzzle,
00:12:06I won't be able to return her favor.
00:12:08Do you care for her?
00:12:11You don't dislike her?
00:12:14No, Mia deserves someone who truly loves her.
00:12:17Not you.
00:12:19She's a grown woman. She knows what she wants.
00:12:22What does it tell her what she deserves? Especially not you.
00:12:32You can choose not to share the information, but you won't be helping her.
00:12:38Your choice.
00:12:43All right, look.
00:12:45If you have to know, unfortunately,
00:12:49Mia had a miscarriage because of an accident involving Bradley and Kevin.
00:13:12How are you feeling?
00:13:16It's none of your business.
00:13:18Not that you would know what that means.
00:13:21I'm sorry for overstepping and being insensitive.
00:13:24I learned about your miscarriage. I had no idea.
00:13:28You didn't know?
00:13:30That doesn't excuse my behavior. I apologize.
00:13:34I may have overreacted.
00:13:36You were hurting. That's understandable.
00:13:39So you're not a robot, like everyone says you are.
00:13:42Of course I'm not. Who says that?
00:13:45Everyone. Your family, your friends, your co-workers, enemies.
00:13:51I even heard the maids joking about it the other day.
00:13:54Fire them all.
00:13:56No, no. It's okay. They're allowed to joke. They've been doing a wonderful job.
00:14:02Besides, I think you should talk like this. It suits you.
00:14:08It's not funny.
00:14:12Sleep.
00:14:15Go to bed.
00:14:18Okay. Good night.
00:14:27Talk like this.
00:14:39Go ahead with the plan. Shorten off Catherine's company.
00:14:44I want to see them bleed.
00:14:52Mia, you need to see this.
00:14:55The stock of Catherine's hospital has been shortened dramatically.
00:14:58They're on the verge of bankruptcy.
00:15:00Just a weak host is possible.
00:15:02Seems like a coordinated attack.
00:15:04Someone powerful is behind this.
00:15:09Joshua.
00:15:15Did you short Catherine's stock?
00:15:17Yes, I did.
00:15:19Why?
00:15:20Strictly for business. To protect our family's alliances.
00:15:23Your enemies are my enemies now.
00:15:25Thank you, Joshua.
00:15:27I don't know what else to say. Just like you would.
00:15:29I've got to pay a little visit to Bradley and Catherine.
00:15:39Bradley, what are we going to do? They're taking everything.
00:15:43I can't believe this is happening.
00:15:47As of now, this hospital is under Gerber Corporation's control.
00:15:50Yes, the Gerber Corporation. As in my family's company.
00:15:54Mia Gerber? I thought you were Mia Whitlock.
00:15:56Whitlock was just a name I used to conceal my identity.
00:15:59You betrayed and hurt my wife.
00:16:01Now you're facing the consequences.
00:16:03I've resigned. You can't touch me.
00:16:05Resignation or not, Bradley, your career is over.
00:16:08I've seen to it that everyone in this industry won't touch you after what you've done.
00:16:13Mia, you know that I never meant to hurt you.
00:16:17This hospital is all that I have left. Please.
00:16:22That day that I fell, you stood there and watched.
00:16:26You made your decision then.
00:16:28Mia, can we talk? I know I hurt you deeply. I just want to apologize.
00:16:32To make things right.
00:16:47Mia, I'm truly sorry about everything.
00:16:51I dreamt about you and the baby every day.
00:16:54I just couldn't bring myself to tell you this after the accident.
00:16:57Because I felt so ashamed of myself.
00:16:59Your apology can't undo what's been done, Bradley.
00:17:02I know. I just... I need you to know that I will always care about you. Deeply.
00:17:21You're really like they say. Tall. Handsome. Powerful.
00:17:34You know I can make you a very happy man.
00:17:40Do not engage with women who have no shame. That's all.
00:17:47Katherine manipulated me. But now I realize she's nothing compared to you.
00:17:52We could start over. With your family's resources I could help you grow the business.
00:17:57Work with your parents again. Give us a chance.
00:18:00You know, if I wasn't 100% sure before, I am now.
00:18:05You're a piece of human trash.
00:18:09You're right, I'm dirty. But think about all the good memories we have.
00:18:12Think about more to come.
00:18:14Let me go. Bradley.
00:18:16Mia, don't. Don't.
00:18:29I should have known her name before Bradley could talk to you.
00:18:31It's fine. Don't show me.
00:18:33Thank you for stopping it. Thank you for... everything.
00:18:40Yeah, I followed through with all my business plans.
00:18:43Right. Yeah. The business plan.
00:18:47You know, you called me your wife for the first time.
00:18:50Don't look into it too much. Let's go.
00:18:54Actually, you know what? Now that all the revenge is done,
00:18:59I think I want to take some time alone to figure out my feelings.
00:19:05I understand.
00:19:07I understand.
00:19:14They've destroyed everything.
00:19:16We can't let them get away with this.
00:19:21What if we take Mia?
00:19:24A ransom would help us, but hurt Mia.
00:19:28Yes. Abducting Mia Gerber.
00:19:32I'd see how Joshua Lane reacts then.
00:19:35But how will we get to Mia?
00:19:37I know that she always goes to this one spot, alone.
00:19:40From what I know about her, she must be there right now.
00:20:02Help! Help! Help! Help!
00:20:32Help!
00:20:43Help!
00:20:46Help!
00:20:49Help!
00:20:57Thought you could get rid of us, Mia?
00:21:01You and Joshua will regret ever crossing us.
00:21:06Don't bring it into this, you bitch!
00:21:23That's for talking back to me.
00:21:27Look at you. Just as pathetic as the day you fell.
00:21:32Of course I could have saved you, but why would I?
00:21:36You and your baby are worth nothing.
00:21:45Joshua Lane?
00:21:47Listen, we have Mia Gerber.
00:21:50We want her back.
00:21:51Get ready with a hefty ransom.
00:21:53I'll pay the ransom.
00:21:55But listen to me clearly.
00:21:57I will hunt you down and you'll wish you'd never crossed me.
00:22:07Based on the footage from Mia's car camera, it seems Bradley and Katherine are behind this.
00:22:12These are the possible locations where Mia could be.
00:22:17This way.
00:22:24Mia.
00:22:28I've got you.
00:22:30Come on.
00:22:32It's the drugs.
00:22:53No!
00:23:16Joshua, stop!
00:23:18It's not worth it.
00:23:23It's not worth it.
00:23:26It's not worth it.
00:23:51I'll make you some soup.
00:23:53Thank you.
00:23:59It's very unique.
00:24:02What is this?
00:24:03My mom's recipe.
00:24:05Of course, she passed away. She used to make it for me when I was sick.
00:24:08I don't mind cooking it.
00:24:11Unless you made it wrong.
00:24:12It's wonderful.
00:24:14I don't know how to thank you enough.
00:24:17It's nothing.
00:24:19I just did what I had to do.
00:24:23Joshua.
00:24:25Is this still just a marriage of convenience for you?
00:24:30Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Lane. A guest has arrived.
00:24:33Her name is Susie Harper.
00:24:35Susie's back.
00:24:43Oh, I've missed you so much.
00:24:46Susie.
00:24:51Susie, it's been ages.
00:24:54When's the last time we saw each other?
00:24:56Four years ago, before I went abroad.
00:24:59It's been too long. Welcome back, Susie.
00:25:02I came back just for you.
00:25:05Oh, there's so much...
00:25:08Susie, this is my wife, Mia.
00:25:12Mia, this is Susie, an old friend of mine.
00:25:15Oh, you're the one Joshua had to marry.
00:25:18Oh, Susie, that's a lot of you.
00:25:21Joshua and I have a special bond, you know?
00:25:25We've been friends since, like, forever.
00:25:29He means a lot to me. I want him to be happy.
00:25:32I think we all want that.
00:25:34Do you?
00:25:35Joshua and I talk often over the phone.
00:25:38He confides in me.
00:25:40I'm one of the few he truly trusts.
00:25:43He mentioned he was quite unhappy about the marriage.
00:25:46Right.
00:25:48Well, things like you two have a lot to catch up on.
00:25:50So, I'll leave you to it.
00:25:58Susie, why would you say those things?
00:26:01I told you I had doubts before the wedding, not since then.
00:26:04Joshua, you're clearly unhappy.
00:26:07I was just speaking up for you.
00:26:09I don't need you to look out for me.
00:26:12I'm sorry.
00:26:14I just...
00:26:16I was trying to help, since you clearly don't want the marriage.
00:26:22I don't mind it, though.
00:26:24Do you like her?
00:26:26She's fine.
00:26:29This means I still have a chance.
00:26:32Joshua, if I had stayed by your side,
00:26:36you never would have had to marry a complete stranger like me and Gerber.
00:26:41I'm sure it hasn't been pleasant.
00:26:44Now that I'm back, you can always talk to me.
00:26:47Susie, you're a great friend.
00:26:50Of course.
00:26:51I'll always be there for you.
00:27:00How's it going?
00:27:03It's this marriage.
00:27:05It's Joshua. He's like a shadow.
00:27:07Always there, but never really close.
00:27:11You deserve someone who will give you all the love and appreciation you need.
00:27:16Remember, if you ever need anything, I'm here.
00:27:20Thank you, Noah.
00:27:24How could I live without you?
00:27:29I can't live without you.
00:27:38How could I live without you?
00:27:42I'll do everything to protect you, man.
00:28:08Joshua.
00:28:12We can't be like this forever. We have to talk.
00:28:17Why don't you talk to Noah?
00:28:19Seems like you have plenty to say to him.
00:28:21I don't even know what that means.
00:28:23There's nothing between Noah and me.
00:28:25You and Susie, on the other hand.
00:28:27What?
00:28:29Whatever you think, I don't care.
00:28:38What?
00:28:47What's he doing here?
00:28:51Look, I'm here to deliver some documents to Mia.
00:29:03If you ever hurt her,
00:29:05just know that I will protect her at all costs.
00:29:08And what exactly have you done to protect her?
00:29:11Seems like all talk but no action.
00:29:13What are you two doing?
00:29:17What's going on here? Joshua, why are you acting so irrational?
00:29:19This is ridiculous. You invite him into our house just to talk to him?
00:29:22I didn't invite... Joshua!
00:29:25I'm sorry, Mia. I didn't mean to cause any rift between you two.
00:29:28It wasn't my intention.
00:29:30It's fine. Why are you here?
00:29:32I'm here to protect you and the company.
00:29:35I suspect that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare.
00:29:41Is that Dwayne?
00:29:43And the CEO of Melody Healthcare?
00:29:48This plan is a game changer.
00:29:51What about Melody Healthcare? They're our biggest threat.
00:29:54They're going in a completely different direction.
00:29:56We're way ahead of them.
00:29:59And how do you know that?
00:30:01The CEO approached me the other day.
00:30:03He tried to get some information from me, but I flipped it and got some information from him.
00:30:07Like I could turn my own company into a fool to think that.
00:30:11Right. Of course, Dwayne.
00:30:13Let's go ahead with the plan.
00:30:22See? He's fine.
00:30:24I don't know. There's something strange about him.
00:30:27I can't put my finger on it, but...
00:30:29Just keep your eyes open, okay?
00:30:32I will.
00:30:36Resuspected, but...
00:30:38I mean it. Trust me now.
00:30:40Let's go ahead and move forward with the plan.
00:30:44Excellent.
00:30:45Once we execute the strategy, the Gerbers will be blindsided.
00:30:49Melody Healthcare will be the number one.
00:30:53Me and Gerber will be out of the company,
00:30:56and I'll be the number one.
00:30:59Okay.
00:31:05How did they get ahead of us?
00:31:07This is our strategy.
00:31:09Where's Dwayne?
00:31:10He's outside.
00:31:24Melody Healthcare just announced their new AI-generated online psychiatric care.
00:31:28The similarity of the details to ours is...
00:31:31uncanny.
00:31:34I don't know.
00:31:35They kept everything under wraps.
00:31:38They must have developed this independently.
00:31:40Man, they're just too young.
00:31:43They're not experienced enough in this business world.
00:31:45This stuff happens.
00:31:47I'm experienced enough to know that this is not a coincidence.
00:31:51And I don't need you to tell me what I do and do not know.
00:31:55You can leave.
00:31:58Okay.
00:32:10Why do you look so sullen all the time?
00:32:12Doesn't look good on you.
00:32:15Wow.
00:32:16Thanks for the comfort.
00:32:22Damn it, why do I have to say that?
00:32:25Ms. Gerber, an emergency board meeting has been called.
00:32:28What?
00:32:36We need to talk about the leadership of this company.
00:32:39It is clear that Mia's recent decisions...
00:32:42well, they've been...
00:32:44questionable.
00:32:48Acquiring Catherine from this hospital was a big mistake.
00:32:53Now Melody's health care is outpacing us.
00:32:56Mia, I'm sorry.
00:32:58But you're too young and inexperienced to be in this role.
00:33:02I believe under my leadership, our profits have already increased by 20 percent...
00:33:07compared to last year.
00:33:09That's due to your overall market trend.
00:33:11Not because of your leadership.
00:33:14My strategies have been more than effective.
00:33:17The Finley acquisition has potential long-term benefits.
00:33:20And our growth, by the way, is not just a fluke.
00:33:24This company, this board needs a leader with experience and vision.
00:33:29Not someone learning on the job.
00:33:31As a senior VP, on behalf of all the employees with Gerber Corporation, we support Mia.
00:33:37I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Health Care to undermine the company.
00:33:44I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Health Care to undermine the company.
00:33:49I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Health Care to undermine the company.
00:33:55What is this? What are you doing?
00:33:57These are communications between Dwayne and Melody Health Care.
00:34:00Killing is our strategy.
00:34:05You're fired, Dwayne. Effective immediately.
00:34:08I've been witness to you failing the company.
00:34:10All these years I've never been CEO, but you give it to your daughter?
00:34:13I've always known you were ambitious, but I never thought you would stoop this low.
00:34:18Your lack of trustworthiness is why you were never CEO.
00:34:22We built this company on integrity and trust.
00:34:25Values you clearly lack.
00:34:29Security, escort Mr. Kaiser out.
00:34:32Wait.
00:34:44Mia, we're so proud of you.
00:34:46You've really handled the crisis well.
00:34:48Thank you.
00:34:50You truly are a go-getter.
00:34:56Noah, I can't thank you enough.
00:34:58Of course. You know I'd do anything for you.
00:35:01You know, I never asked, but how did you get your hands on those documents?
00:35:05It all started with an anonymous tape.
00:35:09Someone delivered photos of Dwayne meeting with the owner of Melody Health Care, and I intercepted the tape.
00:35:17This is your schedule for the week.
00:35:19And what's this?
00:35:21Seems to be about Mr. Kaiser.
00:35:23I'll take that too. Thanks.
00:35:35Anonymous. Who would do that?
00:35:38I don't know, but the photos led me to dig deeper, and eventually I found clear evidence of his betrayal.
00:35:46Can I see the photos?
00:35:54I think I might know who's behind this, but I need to confirm.
00:36:02Ethan, I need to talk to you about these photos.
00:36:05Is this you? In the reflection? Were you following Dwayne?
00:36:09Yeah, it's me. Joshua asked me to keep an eye on Dwayne.
00:36:13I kept my suspicions about Dwayne's loyalty for a while. We then delivered the photos.
00:36:18Mr. Lane, what a surprise.
00:36:22Should I tell Ms. Lane you're here?
00:36:24No need to.
00:36:29Why couldn't Joshua just tell me about his suspicions?
00:36:32Joshua's a... he's a complicated man.
00:36:36He means well, but he struggles with expressing himself.
00:36:39He's never gone through such steps for anyone before, Mia. This must mean he cares about you.
00:36:45He could just talk to me next time.
00:36:47Well, Joshua has his ways. He might not show it, but he cares deeply.
00:36:53I just ask that you... don't hurt him.
00:36:57No.
00:37:00You're a loyal friend, Ethan.
00:37:09Joshua, I need to talk to you.
00:37:12It's about Dwayne Kizer and Melody Halligan.
00:37:14What about it?
00:37:16I know you sent Ethan to follow Dwayne. Why didn't you just talk to me?
00:37:20It just seemed like the best course of action at the time.
00:37:23Joshua, is there more to this marriage than the alliance? Did you do it because...
00:37:28No, no, it's nothing like that. I just couldn't have my wife being voted out of CEO on paper.
00:37:34It would look bad for me.
00:37:36So it's all about appearances?
00:37:38Yes, Mia. It's all there is. We agreed to a business arrangement.
00:37:43Joshua, I'm so tired of this. Of living in a fantasy where I never actually get to know you.
00:37:49I'm more than just a tool for business advancement or keeping up appearances.
00:37:57I want a divorce.
00:38:01I want a divorce.
00:38:04You sure about this?
00:38:08I deserve something real in my life, Joshua. Not this.
00:38:12The thought. I deserve to be more than just a business arrangement in somebody's life.
00:38:18I want genuine happiness.
00:38:20I understand. If that's what you want.
00:38:27Joshua, please.
00:38:33I'll see you at the divorce.
00:39:04God.
00:39:14Joshua, what are you doing to yourself?
00:39:17Mia. Mia?
00:39:21Mia, don't leave. Don't leave.
00:39:23You're drunk. Please, help me take him to his car.
00:39:26No. No.
00:39:28I'll take him to my place. He shouldn't be alone.
00:39:31Shut up.
00:39:32Okay. Let's go.
00:39:54Morning, Josh. Here, drink this. You've had quite a night.
00:40:02Where am I?
00:40:04This is my apartment. Nothing bad happened. I also drove your car back here.
00:40:10How did I get here?
00:40:12You were really drunk. I didn't think you should be alone.
00:40:16Josh, what happened?
00:40:19It's over between me and Mia. We're getting a divorce.
00:40:24I'm sorry.
00:40:28Maybe it was never meant to be.
00:40:31You deserve someone who understands and loves you.
00:40:42No, I can't do this, Susie.
00:40:45Why? I have always loved you.
00:40:50Now that you and Mia are getting a divorce, we can finally be together.
00:40:54Susie, you were a dear friend and like a little sister.
00:40:59It can't be anything more. I'm sorry.
00:41:04Do you really love that Mia girl?
00:41:07I don't know.
00:41:10Yes, Susie. As a matter of fact, I do.
00:41:14You need to go tell her. Now.
00:41:20I'm sorry.
00:41:39You're going to get a divorce anyway.
00:41:51Hey.
00:41:53I've decided to divorce Josh.
00:41:55Are you okay?
00:41:57I'm fine. It's just... It's for the best.
00:42:01There's nothing I can do to tell you, Susie.
00:42:04Sorry. It's the hospital.
00:42:06Hello? What? What happened? Is he okay?
00:42:12I don't know.
00:42:14Hello? What? What happened? Is he okay?
00:42:21Okay, yeah. I'll be right there.
00:42:23What's wrong?
00:42:24It's Joshua. He's been in an accident.
00:42:33Excuse me. Excuse me. I'm here for Joshua Lane.
00:42:38Joshua.
00:42:41Ms. Gerber?
00:42:42Yeah.
00:42:43We found that Mr. Lane was attempting to call you when the accident occurred.
00:42:48It's all my fault.
00:42:52It was nobody's fault. It was an accident.
00:42:55But right now, she needs you. Do your best to help wake up Lee.
00:43:00But right now, she needs you. Do your best to help wake up Lee.
00:43:07I won't leave you, Joshua.
00:43:13Remember that soup you made me?
00:43:16Don't let the world cut me.
00:43:19Whenever you get better, we'll make you that soup.
00:43:25Isn't it with your mom's recipe?
00:43:28It was those little moments with you.
00:43:31You know, whenever we would wake up and come out of our rooms and see each other in the morning,
00:43:37sometimes it was the happiest part of my day.
00:43:49Please come back to me.
00:43:54This is all your fault, Mia.
00:43:57You drove him to this.
00:43:59You hurt him.
00:44:01And now, look what's happened to him.
00:44:11Mia, we have a problem.
00:44:13Eleanor and Alex are plotting to make Alex the new CEO while Joshua's in a coma.
00:44:18Now even Joshua's father's been convinced.
00:44:20So they're using Joshua's condition to their advantage.
00:44:23Oh, it's too important.
00:44:25What's the plan?
00:44:26I'm meeting with Mr. Lang.
00:44:28He's a key shareholder of Lane Holdings.
00:44:30His voice can sway the...
00:44:35I've always been curious about the famous Mia Gerber.
00:44:38After all, you're the one who led Gerber Corporation to the next level.
00:44:41What do you think?
00:44:42I'm merely stating a fact.
00:44:44Not everyone in the second generation is as capable as you.
00:44:48So, tell me, why do you want to see me?
00:44:51Is it about Alex being the new CEO?
00:44:54You're a wise man, Mr. Lang.
00:44:57Joshua's vision has been the driving force behind Lane Holdings.
00:45:01We cannot allow Alex to derail that.
00:45:04I can't do anything at this time.
00:45:06Joshua is out of commission.
00:45:08It's best to have someone lead the company.
00:45:11Gerald is not in good health after his stroke.
00:45:15Alex is the only choice.
00:45:17What if I told you...
00:45:19There's another choice.
00:45:23What if I told you...
00:45:25There's another choice.
00:45:27I can be the interim CEO of Lane Holdings as Joshua's legal wife.
00:45:32I can uphold his legacy and, as you mentioned before, I'm a very capable CEO in my own right.
00:45:38Your vote, of course, is crucial, but more than anything, people trust your judgment.
00:45:44If you choose to have faith in me, others will follow.
00:45:47And I promise, I won't disappoint.
00:45:51Can you run two companies at the same time?
00:45:53I have a very capable team over at Gerber Corporation.
00:45:57They'll keep things running smoothly even if I'm not there full time.
00:46:00I'll devote my time to Lane Holdings until Joshua gets better.
00:46:04What if he doesn't?
00:46:06He will.
00:46:08I admire your tenacity.
00:46:10I'll do what I can.
00:46:12Thank you, Mr. Lane.
00:46:31I'll fight for you, Joshua.
00:46:35You did the same for me.
00:46:38I won't let you down.
00:46:46Given Joshua's current condition,
00:46:48I propose Mia Gerber as the interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:46:53Mia Gerber?
00:46:55She's from a different company.
00:46:57How is she even qualified?
00:46:58Mia is Joshua's wife, the legal heir.
00:47:01She's proven her capabilities with Gerber Corporation,
00:47:04Finding the strengths of both companies under her leadership
00:47:07will only make Lane Holdings strong.
00:47:09This is absurd.
00:47:11Mia is practically a stranger to our company's operation.
00:47:15While I appreciate your concerns,
00:47:18I think my track record speaks for itself.
00:47:21And unlike Alex here who has had his hand in multiple
00:47:24questionable business dealings,
00:47:27I offer a clean slate and a fresh perspective.
00:47:31I agree with Mr. Lane.
00:47:33Mia's appointment as interim CEO is the best course of action for now.
00:47:38What's that?
00:47:39Stop, Alex.
00:47:45Joshua, I hope you're proud.
00:47:51Let's go.
00:47:53You gonna take over, no consequences, Mia?
00:47:56I'm gonna make a bet.
00:48:00Won't be touching her.
00:48:02Who the fuck are you?
00:48:08Damn it, she's hot.
00:48:10Take care of her.
00:48:19See the security camera?
00:48:21I'm gonna get the footage.
00:48:22If you ever try to hurt me again, I'll call the police.
00:48:25You'll never become the CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:48:28Ever.
00:48:29Damn it!
00:48:31All right.
00:48:42Exit.
00:48:50Noah, what happened?
00:48:52Don't worry, I'm fine.
00:48:54You're not fine, you're bleeding.
00:48:58Are you okay?
00:49:03Thanks, but the reason I came over was because I wanted to finish our conversation before...
00:49:08Mrs. Lane, it's Mr. Lane. He's waking up from the coma.
00:49:14I have to go to the hospital.
00:49:17No, no, nothing's more important than Joshua right now.
00:49:20Nothing's more important than Joshua right now.
00:49:26Joshua, Joshua, Joshua, fucking Joshua.
00:49:33When you wake up, we can be together.
00:49:38Mia doesn't deserve you.
00:49:41But you and I, we're meant to be.
00:49:47Mia.
00:49:50Joshua, you're awake.
00:49:53Mia.
00:49:56Excuse me, miss.
00:49:59Mr. Lane?
00:50:02Mr. Lane?
00:50:04Mia.
00:50:05Can you hear me, sir?
00:50:07Mia.
00:50:08Call his wife Mia Gerber immediately.
00:50:10Mr. Lane, I need you to concentrate for me. Do you remember what day it is?
00:50:14Mia.
00:50:15Mia, we're getting your wife right now, sir.
00:50:23Joshua.
00:50:25I'm sorry, this is all my fault.
00:50:27No, Mia.
00:50:29Don't blame yourself.
00:50:31It's a price I was willing to pay.
00:50:33You got hurt because of me.
00:50:35Mia, listen to me.
00:50:40I'm sorry for all the pain that caused you.
00:50:43I'm not being honest about my feelings.
00:50:46I was afraid to admit it.
00:50:49Even to myself.
00:50:51You know, I didn't anymore.
00:50:53I love you, Mia.
00:50:56I never thought I'd hear you say those words.
00:51:00You should have said them sooner.
00:51:03I love you too, Joshua.
00:51:13Noah Bellini.
00:51:32Noah Bellini? Drinking alone?
00:51:34What do you want, Dwayne?
00:51:36Just to talk.
00:51:37You are underappreciated, Noah.
00:51:41Maybe we can help each other out.
00:51:48Thank you for standing up for me while I was out.
00:51:52I heard you managed as Interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:51:55I handled things.
00:51:57I actually have a business meeting later today with a potential partner.
00:52:01Who's the partner?
00:52:03Kevin Katz.
00:52:06He's a key player in the industry.
00:52:09Katz? He's notorious for being pansy with business focus.
00:52:15I don't like the idea of you two being alone.
00:52:18I can handle Katz.
00:52:20With Bella first.
00:52:22Just be careful, okay?
00:52:24I will.
00:52:29I promise.
00:52:35I gotta go.
00:52:36Love you.
00:52:39Love you too.
00:52:45So our collaboration will be mutually beneficial, especially when expanding into new markets.
00:52:49Absolutely, Mia.
00:52:51I've always admired Lane Holdings.
00:52:53Now with you at the helm, perhaps we can find ways to make our partnership more enjoyable.
00:53:03Mr. Katz, let's keep this strictly professional.
00:53:07Oh, come on, Mia. Don't be such a prude.
00:53:10Business is more fun when there's a personal touch.
00:53:17Don't you agree?
00:53:20I will not be doing business with people who cannot respect personal boundaries.
00:53:25You'll regret this, if I could ruin Lane Holdings' reputation.
00:53:32Now you have one last chance.
00:53:35Ow!
00:53:39That's for being a disgusting pig.
00:53:50Hey.
00:53:51How'd the meeting go?
00:53:55Let's just say Kevin Katz won't be bothering us anymore.
00:53:58What did he do?
00:54:00I handled it. Okay?
00:54:03Let's just focus on getting you better and back in touch.
00:54:08Can I get you some water?
00:54:19Ethan, get the bodyguard to meet me downstairs.
00:54:22I can't explain right now, just do it.
00:54:29Where's Joshua?
00:54:30Mr. Lane checked out.
00:54:32He insisted he was well enough to leave.
00:54:34No, he's not fully recovered yet.
00:54:40What are you trying to do?
00:54:42Teach you a lesson that you can't touch Joshua Lane's woman.
00:54:51You can't do this. Lane, I can sue you and you'll end up in jail.
00:54:57This is you, Mr. Katz, doing something quite illegal.
00:55:02I must say, your taste is really reprehensible.
00:55:05You can't sue me. It was a long time ago.
00:55:09If I can still release the video, you'll lose everything.
00:55:13In fact, just that.
00:55:16The victim's identity was protected, and they'll be set for the rest of their lives.
00:55:20What?
00:55:24Where were you? I was worried sick.
00:55:26I had to take care of something. About Katz.
00:55:30I told you I handled it. I can take care of myself.
00:55:33I won't allow anyone to lay their hands on you.
00:55:35Still, he's so reckless.
00:55:40It's okay now.
00:55:42You handled it?
00:55:43Yeah.
00:55:44I'm flattered by the jealousy.
00:55:47I really do love you, Joshua.
00:55:51I love you too, Mia.
00:55:55I have a surprise for you.
00:56:05I made something for you.
00:56:08What's this?
00:56:09It's your mom's recipe.
00:56:12I found it in a cookbook in the library.
00:56:15I can't believe you made this.
00:56:18Thought it might bring you some comfort.
00:56:27This is exactly how she used to make it.
00:56:31How'd you get it so right?
00:56:33I may have had some help from the internet,
00:56:35and about 50 practice runs.
00:56:39We have a plan that can shift the balance of power in our favor.
00:56:45Our plan didn't overthrow Mia Gerber and the Gerber Corporation.
00:56:49But this time, we will.
00:56:52I just don't want Mia to lose everything.
00:56:55I promise you.
00:56:57I promise you.
00:56:59I promise you.
00:57:01I promise you.
00:57:03I promise you.
00:57:05I promise you.
00:57:07I promise you.
00:57:08She won't.
00:57:09With the Gerber family's fortune,
00:57:11Mia's set for life.
00:57:13She just won't be the CEO anymore.
00:57:16Think about this.
00:57:18With the Gerber family out of practice,
00:57:20Link Holdings, they won't partner with them.
00:57:23Joshua Lang will probably divorce Mia
00:57:25because she's no use to him.
00:57:28Link will finally be yours.
00:57:30Here's the plan.
00:57:32We target Gerber Corporation's medical device supplier network.
00:57:36It will cause significant issues in the hospital and psychiatric care units.
00:57:42We proceed.
00:57:43Melody Healthcare has insiders inside their supply chain.
00:57:47We'll start by creating delays and quality issues.
00:57:51The fallout will be immediate and devastating.
00:57:54The resources stretch so thin,
00:57:57they won't even see us coming.
00:58:01Congratulations on your recovery, Joshua.
00:58:04It's good to see you up and about.
00:58:06Thanks for coming.
00:58:07And thank you for, um,
00:58:10being there for me in a coma.
00:58:13It means a lot.
00:58:15But it didn't matter, did it?
00:58:19In the end, only Mia matters to you.
00:58:22Suzie, you'll always matter to me.
00:58:26You'll always matter to me.
00:58:29But...
00:58:31Yes, I love Mia.
00:58:33I'll always love you too, but...
00:58:35as a friend.
00:58:37That's not going to be enough for me.
00:58:39It's time for me to live my own life.
00:58:42That's why I'm here.
00:58:44To say goodbye.
00:58:46Um, what's your plan?
00:58:49I'm helping out my dad with our family company.
00:58:52Harper Medical Devices.
00:58:55That's a corporation's biggest supplier, right?
00:58:58Yeah.
00:58:59Suzie, you wouldn't...
00:59:01Don't worry, Joshua.
00:59:02We're not going to do anything to Mia.
00:59:04I'm focusing on my own path now.
00:59:09Goodbye, Joshua.
00:59:25Why are there so many cancel contracts with Gerber Corporation?
00:59:29Hey.
00:59:31You haven't noticed any suppliers backing out of deals with Gerber Corporation?
00:59:38There are rumors someone's been persuading them to cut ties with the Gerbers.
00:59:52Hello?
00:59:56What do you mean they stopped supplying to us?
01:00:10Noah.
01:00:11The suppliers are backing out for no reason.
01:00:14It's competitive marketing, Mia.
01:00:16Yeah, but this feels coordinated.
01:00:18Isn't that unusual?
01:00:20Yeah, it is, Tom.
01:00:21I'm going to look into it.
01:00:23Hey, are you okay?
01:00:25Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just busy.
01:00:27Don't worry about me.
01:00:29Okay.
01:00:38You look like you've been through a war zone.
01:00:40What happened?
01:00:42It's the supplier crisis.
01:00:44The situation's worse than I thought.
01:00:49I don't know what to do, Joshua.
01:00:53We'll get through this together.
01:01:05Thank you all for coming.
01:01:07We understand your concerns, and we're prepared to increase profits to maintain our partnerships.
01:01:24The offer looks good.
01:01:26But we heard some rumors of internal issues within the corporation company involving a higher level.
01:01:33Let me assure you, Gerber Corporation is as strong as ever.
01:01:37These rumors aren't founded.
01:01:49You're right. There are gaps in Noah's whereabouts.
01:01:52Keep digging, Ethan. We need concrete evidence.
01:01:59Mia, Noah might be involved with the issues at the company.
01:02:03There's no way. He's very loyal to the company.
01:02:06Although he has been acting weirdly lately.
01:02:09Have you ever considered human feelings for him?
01:02:12I mean, feelings make us do things.
01:02:15No. Noah's a brother to me.
01:02:18He's never even said anything remotely romantic.
01:02:21Actions speak louder than words.
01:02:24I mean, sure, he's supportive and caring, but that's just Noah being Noah.
01:02:29I really don't think there's anything more to it.
01:02:32Sometimes the people closest to us surprise us the most.
01:02:41Hey, just wanted to check in. We haven't had any time to talk lately.
01:02:45I've been good, so I've just been busy dealing with the supplier crisis.
01:02:49I know, and I'm really grateful for you. You've done so much.
01:02:53I never wanted you to be burdened. I care too much about you.
01:03:01Hey, I have a question.
01:03:06You don't secretly have feelings for me, do you?
01:03:15What if I do?
01:03:17Oh, I don't know. Really?
01:03:22I've put this off for too long, and I need to tell you now.
01:03:29I've loved you since the first time I met you.
01:03:34I still remember that day like it was yesterday.
01:03:37We were just starting college, and we came to this office during summer break.
01:03:42We were up, we dressed, and we looked like a princess.
01:03:46I was just starting off the company, and I come from a humble background,
01:03:50so I never thought I could be with someone like you.
01:03:54Not anymore.
01:03:57I'm stronger. I'm working harder.
01:04:01I know we should be together here.
01:04:05Noah.
01:04:09I've really only ever seen you as a friend.
01:04:16It's because Joshua's the new thing for you.
01:04:18I've done more.
01:04:20No. I love him. Okay? We understand each other.
01:04:25Because we both put all the silver spoons in your mouth, and I wasn't.
01:04:29You know it's not that. I just, I have a really strong feeling about him.
01:04:36Which is not funny.
01:04:40Noah, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lead you on.
01:04:45It wasn't my intention to hurt you.
01:04:49It's okay.
01:04:52I understand.
01:04:55I just need to hear it from you.
01:04:58I know.
01:05:03Dwayne, double down on the plan.
01:05:07There's no going back now.
01:05:16Noah.
01:05:18What brings you here?
01:05:20I think it's time for your company to reconsider its partnership with Gerber.
01:05:23I'm not sure what you're implying.
01:05:25It's simple. Harbor Medical Devices is the biggest supplier for Gerber Corporation.
01:05:31If you cut ties with Gerber, it'll deal a critical blow to them.
01:05:36So, you're the one behind the scheme.
01:05:42Why would I go along with it?
01:05:44The question is, why wouldn't you?
01:05:46You and I are wives, you see.
01:05:49We love people who don't love us back.
01:05:51I've already let it go.
01:05:53I let it go, but we still have a chance.
01:05:56Me and the Gerber family are out of the company.
01:05:59The Lein family won the business alliance.
01:06:01Joshua and Nia will get divorced.
01:06:05You and I can finally be with them.
01:06:08Join.
01:06:10Together we can make sure we aren't ignored anymore.
01:06:16So, Nia.
01:06:18We've heard some of our suppliers are terminating contracts.
01:06:21Trust me, we have the situation under control.
01:06:23That's not what I heard.
01:06:25The rumor is Harbor Medical Devices is pulling out.
01:06:28How do you explain this?
01:06:30I assure you, we're addressing the concerns.
01:06:32But our relationship with our suppliers has never been stronger.
01:06:35As one of the largest shareholders, I have complete faith in his leadership.
01:06:39These rumors are just that, rumors.
01:06:48The rumor was right.
01:06:50Harbor Medical Devices decided to terminate the contract with us.
01:06:53But there's still hope.
01:06:55I've convinced Harbor to continue their partnership with us.
01:06:58But only if I become the new CEO.
01:07:01It's time for a change in leadership.
01:07:03Someone who can steer this company in the right direction.
01:07:05So I brought Susie Harbor with me.
01:07:07The acting CEO of Harbor Medical Devices.
01:07:12Susie will tell you all that she would like Nia Gerber to resign.
01:07:18Actually, I think there's been a misunderstanding.
01:07:21Harbor Medical Devices is not a company.
01:07:24Actually, I think there's been a misunderstanding.
01:07:27Harbor Medical Devices never intended to terminate our contracts with Gerber Corporation.
01:07:32Any rumor suggesting otherwise is false.
01:07:37Furthermore, I believe in Nia's leadership and the direction that she's taking.
01:07:44Thank you, Susie.
01:07:45I owe you a big one.
01:07:47You don't owe me anything.
01:07:49I just know Joshua and Christine loves to be happy.
01:07:55Always be. Never have been.
01:08:01And I have evidence that Noah Belani has been conspiring
01:08:05with former ousted executive Dwayne Kaiser to sabotage the company.
01:08:11Mr. Belani, your actions have endangered the company and everybody in it.
01:08:17You're therefore terminated immediately.
01:08:24Thank you.
01:08:44It's quite the view.
01:08:51I thought a lot about what happened.
01:08:53And I wanted to say sorry.
01:08:56I should have been clearer.
01:08:58And it made me do it.
01:09:02I was lost, Nia.
01:09:04My actions, my obsession.
01:09:09I'm sorry for everything.
01:09:13We both made mistakes.
01:09:16I'm just glad we can put it all behind us.
01:09:21You were a good friend, Noah.
01:09:23You were more than a friend to me and Nia.
01:09:26I've learned to let go.
01:09:31I just want you to be happy.
01:09:35I am.
01:09:38I hope you find your happiness too.
01:09:42Take care, Noah.
01:09:46You too.
01:09:53I love you.
01:10:05We are gathered here today to witness the reaffirmation of vows between Nia and Joshua Lane.
01:10:16Joshua, our marriage was out of necessity.
01:10:18But you've become my partner.
01:10:21My best friend.
01:10:24Nia, you've given me the gift of a real family.
01:10:27I'll vow to cherish and love you forever.
01:10:31This is just the beginning of our forever.
