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