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