Short filmTranscript
00:00:00What are you doing here? What do you think?
00:00:03No need to hide anymore. I'm leaving you. For Catherine.
00:00:07Unlike you, I'm young and rich. I can give Bradley what he deserves.
00:00:12Catherine hired me to be vice president of her family's hospital. She's also way better in bed.
00:00:17What's that?
00:00:24She's pregnant?
00:00:30No.
00:00:37Ow!
00:01:01Bradley.
00:01:04What happened?
00:01:06The baby. Is the baby okay?
00:01:12I'm so sorry.
00:01:16We lost the baby.
00:01:20I'm so sorry.
00:01:25We're right here, sweetheart. We're right here.
00:01:30I'm sorry.
00:01:37I won't let Bradley and that woman get away with this.
00:01:42I'm ready to come back, Dad.
00:01:44No. Revenge won't heal the heart.
00:01:46This isn't about revenge. This is about holding them accountable.
00:01:49Are you sure you're ready for this?
00:01:51I've been preparing for years, Mom.
00:02:01I have an important announcement.
00:02:03My daughter, Mia Gerber, will be the new CEO of Gerber Corporation.
00:02:24Plans from Lane Holdings.
00:02:27Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:02:32There is a condition. You're going to have to marry Joshua Lane, the heir of Lane Holdings.
00:02:38Mia's never even met this guy before.
00:02:40It's a strategic alliance, Noah.
00:02:44It's what's best for our family and the company.
00:02:47I'll do it.
00:02:51I'll marry Joshua Lane if that's what it takes.
00:02:54I'll marry Joshua Lane if that's what it takes.
00:03:24I'm sorry.
00:03:43I'm not interested. Get lost.
00:03:49Man, you are brutal. That's the fifth girl you've turned down tonight.
00:03:53Hey, I heard you're getting hitched to Mia Gerber. Why didn't you turn her down?
00:03:57This marriage is what my parents want. I couldn't care less about her.
00:04:00Look at mine. She's the heiress to the Gerber Corporation. There must be some perks to her.
00:04:04Perks are not. She'll learn quickly that I'm not one to be messed with.
00:04:08You're going to give her a hard time, huh?
00:04:10Let's just say that she's got something coming.
00:04:23Do you, Joshua Lane, take Mia Gerber for your lawfully wedded wife?
00:04:28I do.
00:04:31And you, Mia Gerber, do you take Joshua Lane for your lawfully wedded husband?
00:04:36I do.
00:04:38Um, the rings?
00:04:48You may now kiss the bride.
00:04:54Thank you.
00:05:02Let's get one thing straight, Mia. This marriage is a show for our family and the rest of the world.
00:05:07Don't expect any affection from me.
00:05:10Understood. And vice versa.
00:05:24My parents want to set up a dinner with us. My assistant will set it up.
00:05:28She can coordinate schedules with my assistant.
00:05:30Done.
00:05:54Joshua has always been so distant with people. Unlike Alex here, who's so popular and charismatic.
00:06:05You should see Oliver Woodman. I can't stop chasing him.
00:06:08Well, at least I don't have to worry if Alex will give me a grandson.
00:06:14But I wonder, Joshua, if you can even warm up enough to give me a child. We need an heir after all.
00:06:22Eleanor, that's enough.
00:06:25I'm just saying, perhaps Alex is a better fit to lead Lane Horvitz.
00:06:31Quite the contrary. Actually, Joshua's very passionate. Especially in the bedroom.
00:06:38No doubt that you'll have that heir soon.
00:06:43For your information, passion is not in my DNA, nor does it align with my personal brand.
00:06:51But still, thank you for signing up.
00:06:56I just didn't appreciate your step-mom's attitude.
00:07:02Get your campaign ready. I want that jerk out ASAP.
00:07:10Noah, hey. I need a favor.
00:07:17You're right. Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua.
00:07:23You're right. Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua.
00:07:28Houdon and PR are already involved.
00:07:31What agency are we using?
00:07:33For subtle siding. Bids are open for this year's contract.
00:07:37Perfect. I have a plan.
00:07:43I'm offering the Gerber Corporation's annual PR budget. It's one of the largest in the industry.
00:07:49That's an enticing offer, Miss Gerber.
00:07:52What do you ask of me in return?
00:07:55I need you to withdraw from any campaign against Joshua Lane.
00:07:58I don't mind, I'll cover the cancellation fee.
00:08:06You have a deal.
00:08:08The Gerber Corporation account is too good to pass up.
00:08:12There's a little one.
00:08:14I need you to spread the word.
00:08:16Any PR firm that goes against Joshua Lane will be blacklisted from the Gerber Corporation and our allies.
00:08:23You got it. No one in this industry will be stupid enough to file against the Gerber Corporation.
00:08:30Wonderful. Looking forward to a fruitful partnership.
00:08:40I have evidence of Alex's scheme against you.
00:08:43Thank you. But don't worry, I've already taken care of it.
00:08:48I always knew Eleanor and Alex would be after my position. I just didn't expect Alex to be this bold.
00:08:54How do you know about this?
00:08:56Alex struck me as opportunistic. A smear campaign is the easiest way to sway the shareholders' opinion.
00:09:01Eleanor's background in PR made this move predictable.
00:09:04You're more perceptive than I thought.
00:09:07Why are you helping me?
00:09:11Our family's alliance is crucial.
00:09:13Protecting you means protecting the Gerber Corporation. It's all business.
00:09:20Business, right.
00:09:22Well, in that case, I should help you with your beef with Kathleen Bradley, right?
00:09:28How did you know about that?
00:09:30You didn't expect me to enter into a marriage without doing background checks.
00:09:34I just don't get what the big deal about your ex is. I mean, he cheated on you.
00:09:39So what?
00:09:43She must be faking it to trap you.
00:09:48How dare you. You have no right to dig into my past like that.
00:09:53I can take care of myself.
00:09:58Watch yourself.
00:10:03To your new position as Senior VP.
00:10:08It's all thanks to my help, of course.
00:10:10Absolutely. You're my lucky charm, honey.
00:10:18Imagine if I'd stayed with Mia. Poor and powerless. That's all she ever was.
00:10:23She's a joke. A stepping stone at best.
00:10:27By my side, we are unstoppable.
00:10:38Katherine's Hospital is resisting our acquisition.
00:10:41Bradley, as the new Senior VP, is leading the pushback.
00:10:45Do they know I'm the CEO yet?
00:10:47No, as per your request.
00:10:49Perfect. Keep at it.
00:10:55Now how do I pull this off?
00:11:08There are gaps in Mia's medical record right after her breakup.
00:11:12But these are from the Gerber Corporation's own hospital.
00:11:15Only someone higher up from within can access it.
00:11:24I want to know what happened to Mia during that gap after the breakup.
00:11:28Even if I know, why would I tell you?
00:11:30Mia helped me, but unless I understand that part of the puzzle, I won't be able to return her favor.
00:11:37Do you care for her?
00:11:40Don't dislike her?
00:11:42No, Mia deserves someone who truly loves her. Not you.
00:11:47She's a grown woman. She knows what she wants.
00:11:50Nobody gets to tell her what she deserves. Especially not you.
00:12:00You can choose not to share the information, but you won't be helping her.
00:12:07Your choice.
00:12:11Alright, look.
00:12:13If you have to know, unfortunately, Mia had a miscarriage because of an accident involving Bradley and Kevin.
00:12:37How are you feeling?
00:12:41It's none of your business.
00:12:43Not that you would know what that means.
00:12:46I'm sorry for overstepping and being insensitive.
00:12:49I learned about your miscarriage. I had no idea.
00:12:53You didn't know?
00:12:55That doesn't excuse my behavior. I apologize.
00:13:00I may have overreacted.
00:13:02You were hurting. That doesn't matter.
00:13:04You were hurting. That's understandable.
00:13:07So you're not a robot, like everyone says you are.
00:13:10Of course I'm not. Who says that?
00:13:13Everyone. Your family, your friends, your co-workers, enemies.
00:13:19I even heard the maids joking about it the other day.
00:13:22Bar them all?
00:13:23No, no. No, it's okay. They're allowed to joke. They've been doing a wonderful job.
00:13:30Besides, I think you should talk like this. It suits you.
00:13:36It's not funny.
00:13:46Okay. Good night.
00:13:55Talk like this.
00:13:59Talk like this.
00:14:09Go ahead with the plan. Shorten stock of Calvin's Company.
00:14:13I want to see them bleed.
00:14:21Mia, you need to see this.
00:14:23The stock of Calvin's Hospital has been shortened dramatically.
00:14:26They're on the verge of bankruptcy.
00:14:28Just a week? How is this possible?
00:14:30Seems like a coordinated attack. Someone powerful is behind this.
00:14:37Joshua.
00:14:43Did you short Calvin's stock?
00:14:46Yes, I did.
00:14:47Why?
00:14:48Strictly for business. To protect our family's alliances.
00:14:51Your enemies are my enemies now.
00:14:53Thank you, Joshua.
00:14:54Speak what's necessary.
00:14:55Just like you would.
00:14:56Now to pay a little visit to Bradley and Calvin.
00:15:07Bradley, what are we going to do? They're taking everything!
00:15:11I can't believe this is happening.
00:15:14As of now, this hospital is under Gerber Corporation's control.
00:15:18Yes, the Gerber Corporation. As in my family's company.
00:15:21Mia Gerber? I thought you were Mia Whitlock.
00:15:24Whitlock was just a name I used to conceal my identity.
00:15:27You betrayed and hurt my wife. Now you're facing the consequences.
00:15:31I've resigned. You can't touch me.
00:15:33Resignation or not, Bradley, your career is over.
00:15:36I've seen to it that everyone in this industry won't touch you after what you've done.
00:15:41Mia, you know that I never meant to hurt you.
00:15:45This hospital is all that I have left. Please!
00:15:49That day that I fell, you stood there and watched.
00:15:53You made your decision then.
00:15:55Mia, can we talk? I know I hurt you deeply. I just want to apologize.
00:15:59To make things right.
00:16:15Mia, I'm truly sorry.
00:16:17About everything.
00:16:19I dreamt about you and the baby every day.
00:16:22I just couldn't bring myself to tell you this after the accident.
00:16:25Because I felt so ashamed of myself.
00:16:27Your apology can't undo what's been done, Bradley.
00:16:30I know. I just...
00:16:32I need you to know that I will always care about you. Deeply.
00:16:48You're really like they say.
00:16:50Tall. Handsome. Powerful.
00:17:00Catherine manipulated me.
00:17:02But now I realize she's nothing compared to you.
00:17:04We could start over.
00:17:06With your family's resources, I could help you grow the business.
00:17:09What if your parents are down? Give us a chance.
00:17:12You know, if I wasn't 100% sure before,
00:17:16I am now.
00:17:18You're a piece of human trash.
00:17:21You're right, 100.
00:17:23But think about all the good memories we have.
00:17:25Think about more to come.
00:17:27Just let me go. Bradley.
00:17:29Mia, don't. I'm serious. Don't.
00:17:41I should have known your name before Bradley could talk to you.
00:17:44It's fine. Don't show me.
00:17:46Thank you for stopping it.
00:17:48Thank you for...
00:17:51everything.
00:17:54Yeah, I followed through with all my business plans.
00:17:57Right. Yeah.
00:17:59The business plan.
00:18:01You know, you call me your wife for the first time.
00:18:04Don't look into it too much.
00:18:07Let's go.
00:18:08Actually, um, you know what?
00:18:11Now that all the revenge is done,
00:18:13I think I want to take some time alone.
00:18:16Figure out my feelings.
00:18:18I'm sure.
00:18:25They destroyed everything.
00:18:27We can't let them get away with this.
00:18:32What if we take Mia?
00:18:35A ransom would help us, but hurt Mia.
00:18:39Yes.
00:18:41Abducting Mia Gerber.
00:18:43I'd see how Joshua Lane reacts then.
00:18:46But how will we get to Mia?
00:18:48I know that she always goes to this one spot alone.
00:18:51From what I know about her,
00:18:53she must be there right now.
00:19:11Ah!
00:19:12Ah!
00:19:13Ah!
00:19:14Ah!
00:19:15Ah!
00:19:16Ah!
00:19:17Ah!
00:19:18Ah!
00:19:19Ah!
00:19:20Ah!
00:19:21Ah!
00:19:41Hey!
00:19:44Hey!
00:19:46Help!
00:19:50Help.
00:19:54I thought you could get rid of us, Mia.
00:19:56I thought I'd get rid of you.
00:19:58It's up to you to choose.
00:20:00Help.
00:20:01Help.
00:20:02Help.
00:20:03Help.
00:20:04Help.
00:20:05Help.
00:20:06Help.
00:20:07Ah!
00:20:08Ah!
00:20:09to get rid of us Mia. You and Joshua will regret ever crossing us. Don't bring him into
00:20:18this you bitch.
00:20:34That's for talking about.
00:20:39Look at you. Just as pathetic as the day you fell. Of course I could have saved you.
00:20:46But why would I? You and your baby are worth nothing.
00:20:56Joshua Lane. Listen. We have Mia Gerber. We want her back. Get ready with a hefty ransom.
00:21:04I'll pay the ransom. But listen to me clearly. I will hunt you down and you'll wish you'd
00:21:10never crossed me.
00:21:18Based on the footage from Mia's car camera, it seems Bradley and Katherine are behind us.
00:21:23These are the possible locations where Mia could be.
00:21:28This way.
00:21:34Mia.
00:21:46It's your house.
00:22:04It's your house.
00:22:34It's your house.
00:23:04I made you some soup.
00:23:06Thank you.
00:23:12It's very unique. What is this?
00:23:17My mom's recipe. Before she passed away she used to make it for me when I was sick.
00:23:22I had it in my comfort room. I must have made it wrong.
00:23:26It's wonderful. I don't know how to thank you enough.
00:23:30It's nothing. I just did what I had to do.
00:23:36Joshua, is this still just a marriage of convenience for you?
00:23:43Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Lane. A guest has arrived. Her name is Susie Harper.
00:23:48Susie's back.
00:23:50Oh, I've missed you so much.
00:24:00Susie, it's been ages. When's the last time we saw each other?
00:24:09Four years ago, before I went abroad.
00:24:12It's been too long. Welcome back, Susie.
00:24:15I came back just for you.
00:24:18Oh, there's so much...
00:24:21Susie, this is my wife, Mia.
00:24:25Mia, this is Susie, an old friend of mine.
00:24:29Oh, you're the one Joshua had to marry.
00:24:32Oh, Susie, that's lovely.
00:24:35Joshua and I have a special bond, you know?
00:24:39We've been friends since, like, forever.
00:24:42He means a lot to me. I want him to be happy.
00:24:46I think we all want that.
00:24:48Do you? Joshua and I talk often over the phone.
00:24:52He confides in me. I'm one of the few he truly trusts.
00:24:56He mentioned he was quite unhappy about the marriage.
00:25:00Right. Well, it seems like you two have a lot to catch up on, so I'll leave you to it.
00:25:11Susie, why would you say those things?
00:25:14I told you I had doubts before the wedding, not since then.
00:25:18Joshua, you're clearly unhappy. I was just speaking up for you.
00:25:23I don't need you to look out for me.
00:25:26I'm sorry. I just...
00:25:30I was trying to help, since you really don't want the marriage.
00:25:35I don't mind at all.
00:25:38Do you like her?
00:25:40She's fine.
00:25:43This means I still have a chance.
00:25:46Joshua, if I had stayed by your side, you never would have had to marry a complete stranger like me and Gerber.
00:25:54I'm sure it hasn't been pleasant.
00:25:57Now that I'm back, you can always talk to me.
00:26:00Susie, you're a great friend.
00:26:03Of course. I'll always be there for you.
00:26:13How's it going?
00:26:16It's this marriage. It's Joshua. He's like a shadow. He's always there, but never really close.
00:26:24You deserve someone who will give you all the love and appreciation you need.
00:26:34Thank you, Noah.
00:26:37How could I live without you?
00:26:40I can't live without you.
00:27:10Joshua!
00:27:25We can't be like this forever. We have to talk.
00:27:30Why don't you talk to Noah? Seems like you have plenty to say to him.
00:27:34I don't even know what that means. There's nothing between Noah and me.
00:27:38You and Susie, on the other hand...
00:27:40What?
00:27:42Whatever you think, I don't care.
00:28:00What's he doing here?
00:28:03Look, I'm here to deliver some documents to Mia.
00:28:15If you ever hurt her, you just know that I will protect her at all costs.
00:28:20And what exactly have you done to protect her?
00:28:24Seems like all talk but no action.
00:28:26What are you two doing?
00:28:29What's going on here? Joshua, why are you acting so aggressive?
00:28:32This is ridiculous! You invite him into our house just to talk to him?
00:28:35I didn't invite... Joshua!
00:28:38I'm sorry, Mia. I didn't mean to cause any rift between you two. It wasn't my intention.
00:28:42It's fine. Why are you here?
00:28:45I'm here to protect you and the company.
00:28:47I suspect that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare.
00:28:53Is that Dwayne? And the CEO of Melody Healthcare?
00:28:59This, Dwayne, is our game-changer.
00:29:03What about Melody Healthcare? They're our biggest rival.
00:29:07They're going in a completely different direction. We're way ahead of them.
00:29:11And how do you know that?
00:29:13The CEO approached me the other day.
00:29:16He tried to get some information from me, but I flipped it and got some information from him.
00:29:20Like I could turn my own company into a folder like that.
00:29:23Right. Of course, Dwayne. Let's go ahead with the plan.
00:29:27Yeah.
00:29:35See? He's fine.
00:29:37I don't know. There's something strange about him.
00:29:40I can't put my finger on it, but just keep your eyes open, okay?
00:29:45I will.
00:29:49Let's just go.
00:29:57Okay.
00:30:18How did they get ahead of us?
00:30:20This was our strategy.
00:30:22Where's Dwayne?
00:30:23He's outside.
00:30:28Melody Healthcare just announced their new AI-generated online psychiatric care.
00:30:32The similarity of the details to ours is uncanny.
00:30:38I don't know.
00:30:40We kept everything under wraps.
00:30:43They must have developed this independently.
00:30:46We're just too young.
00:30:48We're not experienced enough in this business.
00:30:50I don't know.
00:30:52They developed this independently.
00:30:54We're just too young.
00:30:56We're not experienced enough in this business.
00:30:58This stuff happens.
00:31:00I'm experienced enough to know that this is not a coincidence.
00:31:04And I don't need you to tell me what I do and do not know.
00:31:08You can leave.
00:31:22Why do you look so sullen all the time?
00:31:25It doesn't look good on you.
00:31:27Wow.
00:31:29Thanks for the comfort.
00:31:37We need to talk about the leadership of this company.
00:31:41It is clear that Mia's recent decisions, well, they've been questionable.
00:31:48Acquiring Catherine Phinney's hospital was a big misstep.
00:31:54Now, Melody's Healthcare is outpacing us.
00:31:57Mia, I'm sorry, but you're too young and inexperienced to be in this role.
00:32:02I believe under my leadership, our profits have already increased by 20% compared to last year.
00:32:09That's due to the overall market trend, not because of your leadership.
00:32:15My strategies have been more than effective.
00:32:18The Phinney acquisition has potential long-term benefits.
00:32:21And our growth, by the way, is not just a fluke.
00:32:25This company, this board needs a leader with experience and vision, not someone learning on the job.
00:32:33As a senior VP, on behalf of all the employees of Gerber Corporation, we support Mia.
00:32:39I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:32:46I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:32:54What is this? What are you doing?
00:32:56These are communications between Dwayne and Melody Healthcare.
00:32:59I can't leave without our strategy.
00:33:05You're fired, Dwayne. Effective immediately.
00:33:07I've been witnessing you founding the company.
00:33:09All these years I've never been CEO, but you give it to your daughter?
00:33:13I've always known you were ambitious, but I never thought you would stoop this low.
00:33:17Your lack of trustworthiness is why you were never CEO.
00:33:22We built this company on integrity and trust. Values you clearly lack.
00:33:29Security, escort Mr. Kaiser out.
00:33:32Wait, Dean.
00:33:38Mia, we're so proud of you. You really handled the crisis well.
00:33:42Thank you.
00:33:44You truly are our go-to.
00:33:50Noah, I can't thank you enough.
00:33:52Of course. You know I'd do anything for you.
00:33:55You know, I never asked, but how did you get your hands on those documents?
00:34:00It all started with, uh...
00:34:02This is your schedule for the week.
00:34:04What's this?
00:34:06Um, seems to be about Mr. Kaiser.
00:34:08I'll take that, too. Thanks.
00:34:18I'm sorry.
00:34:19It's okay.
00:34:20I'm sorry.
00:34:21I'm sorry.
00:34:22I'm sorry.
00:34:23I'm sorry.
00:34:24I'm sorry.
00:34:25I'm sorry.
00:34:26I'm sorry.
00:34:27I'm sorry.
00:34:28I'm sorry.
00:34:29I'm sorry.
00:34:30I'm sorry.
00:34:31I'm sorry.
00:34:35Anonymous. Who would do that?
00:34:38I don't know. But photos led me to dig deeper, and eventually I found clear evidence of his betrayal.
00:34:46Can I see the photos?
00:34:54I think I might know who's behind this, but I need to keep her.
00:35:01Ethan, I need to talk to you about these photos.
00:35:04Is this you? In the reflection? Were you following Dwayne?
00:35:08Yeah, it's me. Joshua asked me to keep an eye on Dwayne.
00:35:12He said his suspicions about Dwayne's loyalty for a while.
00:35:15We then delivered the photos.
00:35:18Mr. Lane, what a surprise.
00:35:22Should I tell him this thing you hear?
00:35:24No need to.
00:35:26Why couldn't Joshua just tell me about his suspicions?
00:35:30Joshua's a... He's a complicated man.
00:35:34He means well, but he struggles with expressing himself.
00:35:37He's never gone through such steps for anyone before, and yet this must mean he cares about you.
00:35:42He could just talk to me next time.
00:35:45Well, Joshua has his ways.
00:35:47He might not show it, but he cares deeply.
00:35:50He might not show it, but he cares deeply.
00:35:53I just ask that you...
00:35:56don't hurt him.
00:35:57No.
00:36:00You're a loyal friend, Ethan.
00:36:10Joshua, I need to talk to you.
00:36:12About Dwayne Kaiser and Melody Hellicam.
00:36:15What about her?
00:36:16I know you sent Ethan to follow Dwayne.
00:36:19Why didn't you just talk to me?
00:36:21It just seemed like the best course of action at the time.
00:36:23Joshua, is there more to this marriage than the alliance?
00:36:27Did you do it because...
00:36:29No, no, it's nothing like that.
00:36:31I just couldn't have my wife being voted out of CEO on paper.
00:36:35It would look bad for me.
00:36:36So it's all about appearances?
00:36:38Yes, ma'am.
00:36:39It's all there is.
00:36:41We agreed to a business arrangement.
00:36:43Joshua, I'm so tired of this.
00:36:45Of living in a fantasy where I never actually get to know you.
00:36:49I'm more than just a tool for business advancement or...
00:36:53keeping up appearances.
00:36:57I want a divorce.
00:37:01I want a divorce.
00:37:06You sure about this?
00:37:10I deserve something real in my life, Joshua.
00:37:12Not this.
00:37:14It's a thought.
00:37:15I deserve to be more than just a business arrangement in somebody's life.
00:37:20I want genuine happiness.
00:37:22I understand.
00:37:24If that's what you want.
00:37:29Joshua, please.
00:37:33I'll see you at the divorce.
00:37:43Okay.
00:38:14Joshua, what are you doing to yourself?
00:38:22Don't leave, don't leave.
00:38:23You're drunk.
00:38:24Please, help me take him to his car.
00:38:28I'll take him to my place. He shouldn't be alone.
00:38:33Okay.
00:38:34Let's go.
00:38:44Hey.
00:38:46Hey.
00:38:54Morning, Josh.
00:38:56Here, drink this.
00:38:58You've had quite a night.
00:39:00Suzie.
00:39:03Where am I?
00:39:04This is my apartment.
00:39:06Nothing bad happened.
00:39:08I also drove your car back here.
00:39:10How did I get here?
00:39:12You were really drunk.
00:39:14I didn't think you should be alone.
00:39:16Josh, what happened?
00:39:19It's over between me and Mia.
00:39:21We're getting a divorce.
00:39:28Maybe it was never meant to be.
00:39:31You deserve someone who understands and loves you.
00:39:42No, I can't do this, Suzie.
00:39:46Why?
00:39:47I have always loved you.
00:39:50Now that you and Mia are getting a divorce, we can finally be together.
00:39:54Suzie, you were a dear friend and like a little sister.
00:39:59It can't be anything more.
00:40:01I'm sorry.
00:40:04Do you really love that Mia girl?
00:40:07I...
00:40:10Yes, Suzie. As a matter of fact, I do.
00:40:14You need to go tell her. Now.
00:40:39Oh, my God.
00:41:00Oh, hey.
00:41:02I've decided to divorce Josh.
00:41:04Are you okay?
00:41:06It's fine. It's just...
00:41:08It's for the best.
00:41:10There's nothing I need to tell you.
00:41:12Sorry.
00:41:14It's the hospital.
00:41:15Hello?
00:41:16What?
00:41:17What happened?
00:41:18Is he okay?
00:41:21Okay, yeah. I'll be right there.
00:41:23What's wrong?
00:41:24It's Joshua.
00:41:25He's been in an accident.
00:41:33Excuse me. Excuse me.
00:41:35I'm here for Joshua Lane.
00:41:43Joshua.
00:41:46Miss Gerber?
00:41:47Yeah.
00:41:48We found that Mr. Lane was attempting to call you when the accident occurred.
00:41:54It's nobody's fault.
00:41:57It was nobody's fault. It was an accident.
00:42:00But right now, she needs you.
00:42:03Do your best to help him wake up, please.
00:42:07I won't leave you, Joshua.
00:42:13Remember that soup you made me?
00:42:16Don't let the world come to you.
00:42:19Whenever you get better,
00:42:22we'll make you that soup.
00:42:25Because I know it's your mom's recipe.
00:42:28It was those little moments with you.
00:42:31You know, whenever we would wake up
00:42:33and come out of our rooms and see each other in the morning,
00:42:37sometimes it was the happiest part of my day.
00:42:49What do you think about me?
00:42:54This is all your fault, Mia.
00:42:57You drove him to this.
00:42:59You hurt him.
00:43:01And now, look what's happened to him.
00:43:11Mia, we have a problem.
00:43:13Eleanor and Alex are plotting to make Alex the new CEO while Joshua's in a coma.
00:43:18Now even Joshua's father's been convinced.
00:43:20So they're using Joshua's condition to their advantage.
00:43:23No one's feeding for him.
00:43:25What's the plan?
00:43:26I'm meeting with Mr. Lane.
00:43:28He's a key shareholder of Lane Holdings.
00:43:30His voice can sway the...
00:43:33short novice, Mr. Lane.
00:43:35I've always been curious about the famous Mia Gerber.
00:43:38After all, you're the one who led Gerber Corporation to the next level.
00:43:41What do you think?
00:43:42I'm merely stating a fact.
00:43:44Not everyone in the second generation is as capable as you.
00:43:48So, tell me.
00:43:49Why do you want to see me?
00:43:51Is it about Alex being the new CEO?
00:43:54You're a wise man, Mr. Lane.
00:43:57Joshua's vision has been the driving force behind Lane Holdings.
00:44:01We cannot allow Alex to derail that.
00:44:04I can't do anything at this time.
00:44:06Joshua is out of commission.
00:44:08It's best to have someone lead the company.
00:44:11Gerald is not in good health after his stroke.
00:44:15Alex is the only choice.
00:44:17What if I told you...
00:44:19there's another choice?
00:44:23What if I told you...
00:44:25there's another choice?
00:44:27I can be the interim CEO of Lane Holdings as Joshua's legal wife.
00:44:31I can uphold his legacy, and...
00:44:33as you mentioned before, I'm a very capable CEO in my own right.
00:44:38Your vote, of course, is crucial, but...
00:44:40more than anything...
00:44:42people trust your judgment.
00:44:44If you choose to have faith in me, others will follow.
00:44:47And I promise...
00:44:48I won't disappoint.
00:44:51Can you run two companies at the same time?
00:44:53I have a very capable team over at Gerber Corporation.
00:44:56They'll keep things running smoothly, even if I'm not there full-time.
00:45:00I devote my time to Lane Holdings...
00:45:02until Joshua gets back.
00:45:04What if he doesn't?
00:45:06He will.
00:45:08I admire your tenacity.
00:45:10I'll do what I can.
00:45:12Thank you, Mr. Lane.
00:45:23Thank you.
00:45:31I'll fight for you, Joshua.
00:45:35You did the same for me.
00:45:40I won't let you down.
00:45:48Given Joshua's current condition...
00:45:50I propose Mia Gerber...
00:45:52as the interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:45:55Mia Gerber?
00:45:57She's from a different company.
00:45:59How is she even qualified?
00:46:00Mia is Joshua's wife, the legal heir.
00:46:03She's proven her capabilities with Gerber Corporation.
00:46:06Finding the strengths of both companies under her leadership...
00:46:09will only make Lane Holdings stronger.
00:46:11This is absurd.
00:46:13Mia is practically a stranger to our company's operation.
00:46:17While I appreciate your concerns...
00:46:20I think my track record speaks for itself.
00:46:23And unlike Alex here, who has had his hand in multiple...
00:46:26questionable business dealings...
00:46:29I offer a clean slate.
