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