00:03:13Divorce papers
00:03:18You
00:03:22Why
00:03:26The Harrison group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a 100 million dollar contract
00:03:32at the Sheppard group and you
00:03:36You're just a cleaner. The truth is Laura. I've wanted a divorce for a very long time
00:03:41I need a wife who reflects my status. I
00:03:45secured that hundred million dollar
00:03:48A cleaning woman handing out million-dollar deals. Don't make me laugh. I
00:03:56Did it was my present to Betty for his birthday
00:04:04What are you doing here
00:04:06Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family. I'm this family is practically local royalty
00:04:14local royalty a
00:04:16Small town rich person is royalty and what qualifications do you have to judge miss cleaner?
00:04:21Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it?
00:04:26then
00:04:29What's going on
00:04:31Is this what you want a divorce?
00:04:33Because of her. Oh, please. I've spent years building Harrison group. You're still a cleaner. We just grew apart
00:04:42Apart
00:04:45No, no, I I won't sign any agreement that I
00:04:52Won't sign
00:04:56Money is a motivator
00:04:58then
00:05:00Here hundred thousand dollars open up a small shop or
00:05:06$100,000 I
00:05:09Was the one that helped you make Harrison group what it is today. Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:16Don't be ridiculous
00:05:18You've never done anything for Ben success
00:05:21This is our active charity
00:05:23Here a million dollars. Take this. You just want more money. Don't you just leave and never see Ben again. I
00:05:32never expected my
00:05:34three years of devotion to and like this
00:05:38Since none of you respect me a cleaning lady threatening us
00:05:47Just leave you already make this house stink
00:05:57Thank God she's gone go to a written store
00:06:03Sir
00:06:04Laura Lewis's information
00:06:08Oh
00:06:09She's been Harrison's wife. No wonder why she wants to partner with them. Actually, sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her
00:06:18person
00:06:20Wait a minute
00:06:21Don't you remember?
00:06:23She's the one who helped us with the contract three years ago
00:06:28Yeah, she saved our hiding
00:06:32Why would Ben Harrison dump someone we just got him a hundred million dollar contract
00:06:37I
00:06:40Skeptical bottle
00:06:44Hey, what are you doing? Let go of me?
00:06:53Stealing from the Harrison's we gave you a generous divorce settlement. You refused it and now you're stealing
00:06:59She couldn't afford it. You're a thief
00:07:08That's mine give it back
00:07:13All right, I
00:07:15Want to say thank you properly for saving Shepherd group. It's it's really no no worries. Mr. Shepherd, but um
00:07:22I'm just going through a divorce
00:07:24You see it's who are you Laura's new squeeze? Excuse me. Do you know who I am?
00:07:30Is this true you hooked up with this man while you were married to my son shame on you. Mr. Shepherd
00:07:37For your information. My name is Brian Shepherd. I'm CEO of the Shepherd group
00:07:42Oh, please a big shot like Brian Shepherd wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner. You really don't recognize him. Do you Amber?
00:07:50That's really interesting considering. I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben. That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that
00:07:58my ring
00:08:00Jason
00:08:06Let's get you out of here now, hold on a minute Laura, who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:13It's all right now
00:08:14This is none of your business. I'll grab dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on
00:08:21We are the Harrison's you can't just waltz in here and take her Harrison compared to the Shepherd group. You're nobody. I'll go back
00:08:28What are you saying? That is Brian Shepherd. That's a lie. Don't you dare walk away from me Laura?
00:08:34You come back here and explain yourself. Don't you take another step towards my son Laura?
00:08:41Laura does Ben even know you were the one who secured the hundred million deal?
00:08:47Let's just say that
00:08:49Ben underestimated me. I don't feel good about going through the signing event
00:08:55After how they treated you maybe we should cancel it. No
00:09:00No, the event will proceed
00:09:03Besides I'll be there
00:09:08There's a lot that I don't know about you Laura
00:09:12Who are you truly? You'll find out
00:09:16Mr. Shepherd, um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:23Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis groups
00:09:28Business partners and we're gonna have a meeting an investment meeting one week from today
00:09:36Make sure everyone is there
00:09:41Because after that meeting
00:09:43I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis group. Oh, excellent. Miss Lewis. I'll start making arrangements tomorrow
00:09:51Ben Harrison
00:09:54You're gonna know exactly what it feels like
00:09:57to lose everything
00:10:04After this ceremony the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty only after then my darling we can get married
00:10:13Laura what are you doing here security get that woman out of here. We don't need cleaners at this event
00:10:20Why wouldn't I be here? This is a business event after all business
00:10:26You wouldn't know business if it hit you on the head a
00:10:29Fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey
00:10:31Just get out don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for you should have taken my hundred thousand dollar offer
00:10:37Oh Ben
00:10:39Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:43Laura this is really important for me. Do not ruin this. Okay, you don't belong here. Just get out
00:10:50That's what you get
00:10:56This contract is mine to give or take away as I see fit
00:11:03Don't be ridiculous. This is insane. Who do you think you are? Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing
00:11:09Security she's lost her mind. This is a disaster
00:11:13This contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't deserve it
00:11:43You
00:11:52Really think ripping up that contract is gonna help you're so silly. Oh, please honey
00:11:57You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady security get this woman out of here before she makes another mess
00:12:03I was the one that started this deal with the shepherds and after careful
00:12:09consideration I
00:12:11Don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the shepherds
00:12:15I really think that the shepherd group and I could be torn up by something that you've done
00:12:20You have no authority here. Of course. She has the authority
00:12:30That's the man that Laura went with the other day, what is he doing here? Mr. Shepherd, how does he know?
00:12:35Is that really Brian Shepherd?
00:12:38Laura are you all right?
00:12:42Mr. Shepherd, I can assure you. I don't even know it this woman. There must be some sort of misunderstanding
00:12:47There's no misunderstanding here. Mr. Harrison this contract with Shepherd group is officially terminated
00:12:54effective immediately
00:12:57Wait a minute this contract. I thought you said you got it. It's her she ruined the contract
00:13:03You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:13:05Affair
00:13:06She had an affair with that man behind my son's back mom, please. It's okay. This man is don't touch me
00:13:14That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone has an affair and you just stand there
00:13:19You're a disgrace an adulterer you deserve to be a shut up
00:13:26Mr. Shepherd, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you this woman has tricked you tricked
00:13:34Why don't you answer a question yourself?
00:13:38What was my name before we got married
00:13:42Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:44Lewis group
00:13:45the financial Giants
00:13:47There's no way a Lewis is connected to this
00:13:52That's crazy, there's no way you're related to the Lewis family name that's absurd
00:13:58It's
00:13:59It's absurd
00:14:01High society heirs wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood. Yeah. Yeah, it's a lie
00:14:06It's a lie. This woman was a waitress when I met her. In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago
00:14:13She's nothing special she only married me out of gratitude. I was just a waitress
00:14:19How convenient for your story Ben first time I met her she wasn't need a waitress at the diner
00:14:25Okay, listen up everybody when I met her I'd only just started my business
00:14:30Now look at me. I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts. Look at her still just a clear
00:14:36Mr. Shepherd that woman is my son's ex-wife. She's doing all this out of spite. She's lying. Mr. Shepherd
00:14:44She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:47Let's make something clear I was the one behind Harrison group success. I
00:14:54Use my
00:14:56Resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the main don't lie
00:15:01You were never good enough for Ben when you married him. Oops
00:15:05That roof was built with lies
00:15:08Kathy you never respected me and Ben
00:15:12Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your first date. I'm sorry
00:15:16Second you thought you were successful on your own and the cheating. I
00:15:20Think you're blaming the wrong person
00:15:24You were not good enough for Ben then and you're certainly not good enough for him now if you'd prefer to believe a liar's story
00:15:32Then the truth Kathy
00:15:34Consider this my resignation from the Harrison's
00:15:37from
00:15:39everything
00:15:42Oh
00:15:43Wait, wait, Laura, I think you can just walk in here and you know ruin everything and then just walk out like nothing happened
00:15:48I don't think so. You're a cleaner. You're a cleaner that cleans toilets. Nobody cares about you cleaning toilets or not
00:15:56at least I have my
00:15:58self-respect, I
00:16:00Don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important
00:16:06I
00:16:09Think there's been some sort of misunderstanding. I think all jobs are important right mom
00:16:15But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this a janitor
00:16:22Well, why don't we ask?
00:16:25mrs. Smith
00:16:26Exactly how she landed that?
00:16:29collaboration
00:16:31You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal
00:16:37Mr. Shepherd, it's all a lie. This woman Laura. She's just a gold digger trying to trick you. I
00:16:45Well alive you say miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison group, but I don't recognize you
00:16:53Is this true miss Smith?
00:16:57Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions
00:17:00This contract was my way of showing my appreciation
00:17:05The contract I mean Laura tore it up
00:17:08Can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:13Reprinted mr. Harrison
00:17:15Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without miss Lewis involved. I wouldn't even consider
00:17:21talking with your company
00:17:26Today I want to make it clear
00:17:29Shepherd group has no plans to partner with Harrison group in the future
00:17:36Miss Smith you lied to us you destroyed everything
00:17:40What no, it's a misunderstanding. I can explain
00:17:46Lewis family group this can't be
00:17:49Believe what you want Ben
00:17:51Lewis group will be holding a massive
00:17:54investment meeting later this week
00:17:56Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood
00:18:00And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am
00:18:08Everyone listen to me Shepherd group will not be partnering with Harrison
00:18:14A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract
00:18:21The charade is over. Mr. Harrison
00:18:24Everyone here deserves to see the truth
00:18:28Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:40Mom doctor mom, it seems
00:18:45Quite the term
00:18:48Indeed perhaps is best to leave them to it
00:18:54You
00:19:05Mom this is not all on me not on you. I was trying to help
00:19:11She cheated on you with Shepard
00:19:14Flaunted their affair Zack
00:19:16And those dresses who could afford those on a janitor's salary miss Smith
00:19:22How could you do this we trusted you completely
00:19:27I'd got Ben the deal. I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura
00:19:32She's a liar
00:19:34Stop it, Amber. You lied to us just as much as she did
00:19:37lied
00:19:39you're on my side and
00:19:41Anyways, I had a plan
00:19:43The Shepherds are no one special
00:19:46We can expose Laura and all her lies go national we can make ourselves a household name
00:19:52Now if you excuse me, I have a very important phone call to make
00:20:02Thank you so much for tonight, mr. Shepherd, thank you as well for standing up
00:20:08It's alright Laura. You deserve the credit for all your hard work. Can I ask you something? Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:20:15Maybe a hotel. Don't don't worry about me. Mr. Shepherd. I'll be fine
00:20:20Um
00:20:21Excuse me. You can just drop me off. Actually Laura actually Laura there is something else
00:20:26Would you consider girl for dinner sometime? Just casually, of course

00:20:35please call me Brian and
00:20:38Yes, technically you're single now
00:20:43Yes, that may be true. But I'm going out with a newly divorced ex-client

00:22:01Miss Smith, how did you get this number? Don't worry about that right now. I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis
00:22:09Someone I know very well
00:22:12Impersonating my niece and
00:22:15Where is this fake Laura right here in Maplewood and let me tell you she's causing quite a scene well
00:22:25What is she doing?
00:22:26Exactly and more to the point. What do you want from me?
00:22:32In the next few days, the Lewis group will hold an investment meeting, right? I
00:22:37Want to meet with the vice presidents all will be revealed then
00:22:41Very well, I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting
00:22:46But be warned if this is a waste of my time. I it won't be trust me. Mr. Lewis
00:22:58That little rascal Laura, I wonder what she's up to now
00:23:04I
00:23:08Car belongs to mr. Yeats the Lewis family bubbler
00:23:14Lewis family, that's interesting. Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:23:21I'm not sure
00:23:24Brian there you are. I've missed you
00:23:28What
00:23:32What are you doing here
00:23:35Can't I visit the man? I love we ended things for a reason
00:23:39It was just one teensy mistake. I was
00:23:46It's a mistake you said you cheated on me
00:23:53Is this your new fling ex-divorcee
00:23:57Used to clean floor. It's quite the catch you say look my relationship with her
00:24:05And don't you dare talk about her like that
00:24:08please
00:24:10An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman. It's a classic story. It's enough
00:24:16I'll get the hell out of my office
00:24:19You want to be careful Brian Duke industry still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood
00:24:24If you want Shepherd group to stay afloat
00:24:27You ought to be more careful
00:24:32Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now
00:24:41This is it the Lewis group vice presidents are on the top floor once I'm done speaking with them
00:24:47I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments. I'll go speak with them first and then I'll introduce you
00:24:53Oh
00:24:54Well, well, well, look who it is
00:24:57What a surprise did Brian teach you already?
00:25:00That's
00:25:04Now move aside, please Laura
00:25:06Just what do you think you're doing? You used to be bad. You really think you can just ruin my events again
00:25:11Haven't you ruined my life enough? Don't you have any shame if you'll excuse me?
00:25:15I have an important meeting to get to oh the nerves
00:25:19After everything you've done you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them, too
00:25:24Seriously, I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here. Oh, that's gold
00:25:31You really think that they're gonna let you in Laura, please. You're no one compared to me
00:25:36You don't deserve to be here. The only ones who don't belong here. Are you three?

00:28:18We know exactly what's been happening here
00:28:20How long has this little affair been going on you've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son
00:28:25Hold on a second. I'm a fair
00:28:29I think Laura and I
00:28:31You people are unbelievable
00:28:35Mr. Carter get down here a escape. We have a situation
00:28:40What you think you could just boss the manager around now, is that it?
00:28:43We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn
00:28:45Miss Lewis apologies for the delay. How can I help you this evening? Thank you. Mr. Carter for getting down here so quickly
00:28:51It seems there's a misunderstanding
00:28:54These people don't think that I belong here. Well, mr. Carter. I can assure you this woman is a cleaner a cleaner nonsense
00:29:02I personally agreed to miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago
00:29:07exactly
00:29:08Lucas group
00:29:10My company has some major investments planned here in Maplewood. I was just here investigating potential business opportunities
00:29:19This woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground. She's been this way since my son divorced her
00:29:25She's insane. Actually, I've met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop
00:29:30She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepherd group
00:29:33No, it's a lie. Mr. Shepherd. She's tricking you, too
00:29:39You know, it's
00:29:42Exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them
00:29:47Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator? Wait, is that why you're covering for her?
00:29:52Huh because of the affair because she slept with you. Excuse me
00:29:55Who are you and what do you want from me?
00:29:57That why you're covering for her, huh? Because of the affair because she slept with you, excuse me
00:30:03Who are you and how dare you speak to miss Lewis that way?
00:30:06That's enough
00:30:09This is Lewis group property behave or I'll call security, but she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access
00:30:17She shouldn't be here since you're having trouble understanding them. Let me make it clear
00:30:23This hotel is owned by the Lewis family
00:30:27It's mine to come or go as I please
00:30:35Thank you for stepping in right I
00:30:37Oh you what?
00:30:39We'll talk about this later. Oh
00:30:42It seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision
00:30:56Excuse me vice presidents
00:30:59I'm Amber Smith general manager of the Lewis group make wood branch. I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today
00:31:06Maplewood branch
00:31:08Our records don't show any Maplewood branch
00:31:13Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:31:17Ian Lewis
00:31:19Mr. Lewis
00:31:21Reassured me that today we would discuss well
00:31:25Expansion plans
00:31:27Expansion plans
00:31:28Miss Smith a decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval. And frankly, we haven't heard anything about
00:31:36Maplewood branch, but
00:31:38Ian Lewis assured me that miss Smith. We have a very important guest arriving soon
00:31:44Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff
00:31:47Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some miss Smith
00:31:51We'd like you to leave if you don't we'll call security
00:31:59Hey, stop there this elevator is a VIP only back please, of course my apologies
00:32:12Laura vice presidents. It's so good to see all of you again
00:32:20Miss Lewis, it's been too long. Your return is a lifesaver. Miss Lewis
00:32:25The Lewis group has floundered under your uncle's. Well, shall we say?
00:32:30unconventional leadership
00:32:32The board are begging you to come back
00:32:37Well, please sit yes, well it is time for me to get my career back on track
00:32:43We've got a meeting planned a big one in just a few days
00:32:48Local powerhouses and smaller players, too. They'll all be there in one spot. Miss Lewis
00:32:55We met with an Amber Smith
00:32:59She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch
00:33:04For the Lewis group. She said that did she well miss Smith is a liar
00:33:09There is no Maplewood branch at least not yet. She lied so blatantly. It was
00:33:16Unbelievable, but don't worry. I found a much more suitable partner
00:33:23Shepard group Shepard crew their rise to a public company has been impressive
00:33:28Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:31So what happens now with this Amber Smith? Oh
00:33:37Don't worry about Amber
00:33:40I've got plans
00:33:42Ha ha ha miss Lewis consider this your official invitation
00:33:53Cheers
00:34:04I'm not leaving. What are you talking about? No, come on. I'm Amber Smith. I'm the Lewis group manager of Maplewood branch
00:34:11What are you doing? These are my guests. That's right. Tell them who we are. Yes, we were waiting for miss Smith
00:34:18Lewis group Maplewood branch no such thing ma'am. And frankly, I'm not interested in your act. Oh, of course
00:34:25Laura
00:34:26She's probably sleeping with the manager as well. That's how she gets away with everything you underestimate her Kathy
00:34:32She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents
00:34:35No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this careful with your words
00:34:40Both of you acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble
00:34:47Look who can't even get into a meeting whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents and let's not forget the mystery guests that
00:34:54They're bringing to Maplewood
00:34:56Looks like she used you and tossed you aside use me unlike some people. I don't mind being helpful
00:35:03You're so stupid. She threw you away like yesterday's trash
00:35:07Don't worry Brian you deserve better and let's not forget
00:35:11I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis group appointed by the CEO of those group themselves in Lewis
00:35:19new branch manager, huh?
00:35:22Interesting Laura Lewis, what are you doing here? Get out of here. You claim to be the mystery guest
00:35:29Don't play games Laura. I was formally invited by Lewis group themselves the investment meeting
00:35:36Only the top companies get those
00:35:38Looks like you're all out of luck
00:35:40Is that so?
00:35:42well, then
00:35:44There seems to be a misunderstanding
00:35:47You see I'm not sure if you know miss Smith
00:35:50But Lewis group is my company and I decide who goes to the meetings
00:35:57Escort them out their visit is over. Oh, come on this way, please
00:36:05Move we're not leaving again move. Oh, no. No, no, we're not going now. Okay, this isn't over Laura you'll see
00:36:15Thanks for waiting
00:36:18Laura I'm glad you're okay
00:36:22and
00:36:23Thank you for defending me. I really appreciate it
00:36:32Are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:34Yes, but it's gonna be tricky
00:36:40Why I'm sure that Shepard group got an invitation
00:36:46Yes, Laura
00:36:50There's something you should know
00:36:52is
00:36:54Is this about Ben because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems. He won't even get past security
00:37:02Laura
00:37:03It's not Ben
00:37:05It's someone else
00:37:08Someone's causing problems for Shepard group
00:37:13Yes
00:37:15Her name is Chloe Duke
00:37:18She is daughter of the Duke family
00:37:22She's my ex-fiancee
00:37:24and
00:37:26Let's say things didn't end so well between us
00:37:30and
00:37:33Let's just say we didn't end things so well
00:37:37and for some reason
00:37:40She's having a hard time moving on
00:37:43and
00:37:45You think that she's gonna cause problems at the meeting for
00:37:53Out of jealousy
00:37:56There's a possibility she's kind of jealous
00:38:00Well
00:38:02All the more reason for you to be there
00:38:07I'll be there too
00:38:11Laura
00:38:13Would you consider being my guest at the meeting?
00:38:17What?
00:38:18Are you worried that this Chloe's gonna cause problems for me, too?
00:38:22Maybe a little
00:38:23but mostly
00:38:25I want to show them your team
00:38:27Well, it's a very kind offer. Mr. Shepard. Thank you
00:38:33Laura
00:38:38I don't care about your best. I just want to be by your side. I think I'm falling for you
00:38:48Brian
00:38:54I
00:38:55appreciate your honesty and
00:38:58Right now I I'm just not I I just don't really have romance on my mind right now
00:39:08Go ahead
00:39:10I just want to be a part
00:39:13And if glad you're is anything you won't face her alone
00:39:21There's just one thing I do need what is it
00:39:27a formal dress
00:39:40Up security she doesn't belong here. This is a private store. Excuse me
00:39:46We need some assistance. I'm looking for a very particular dress
00:39:54It's beautiful
00:39:57I'll try it this one off. Don't bother with her. She can't afford anything here. She's just a cleaner
00:40:03She doesn't deserve to shop you. She has no money
00:40:09Exactly I mean, what are you doing here? Can you just leave me alone? I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared
00:40:15I'm here for retail therapy. Oh
00:40:18Please this stores for the a-list only not some cheapskate like you
00:40:23Says the woman who barged into my marriage. Hey show some respect
00:40:29Typical Laura just think she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money. I would have asked you but without me
00:40:35I'm sure they're already broke. Oh, please. Come on. We'll take the dress. Sir. This particular dress is not for sale
00:40:43What do you mean? You don't sell it? I want it name your price. It's not about the price
00:40:49This one was custom-made for miss Lewis the Lewis group heiress the entire brand belongs to her
00:40:54This beautiful dress is for display purposes only. Thank you
00:40:59It wouldn't suit you. Anyway, Amber. What are you talking about? Of course, it would suit her to fit her just fine
00:41:05And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either
00:41:09Well buy in the whole store. Allow me to purchase this dress
00:41:12Oh
00:41:17Please don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis group? We wouldn't sell it to someone like you
00:41:23Amber you're not even a branch manager yet. You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis group
00:41:28Could you please tell me more about this dress, of course?
00:41:32It was custom-made for Laura Lewis heiress to the Lewis group fortune
00:41:38And stitched in Italy naturally, apparently there are many more like it this
00:41:44High-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection
00:41:48Laura
00:41:50Do you like this dress?
00:41:52It's
00:41:53Custom-made for me. I'm just here to take what's already mine. Oh, you can't be serious
00:41:59There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world. Fine. Fine
00:42:04If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on it would look incredible on me miss
00:42:09This dress is very delicate if I may be frank. I don't think this would fit you properly
00:42:16Are you calling me fat actually on a second thought?
00:42:20Why don't we just buy the whole brand? How's that sound sir?
00:42:24Are you serious you would just buy the entire brand for one dress? This brand is worth at least 50 million dollars and
00:42:32To buy it for a waitress. Are you out of your mind?
00:42:36Yes, you see even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you. Just one second
00:42:44Yes, this is Brian Shepherd CEO of Shepherd group I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions
00:42:50I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion
00:42:54brand
00:42:56What
00:43:02You see if we can't have it neither can you
00:43:09Mr. Yates, yes, this is Laura Lewis

00:43:18Shepherd oh
00:43:19Come on
00:43:21Calling the Lewis family, but we won't get you anywhere, sweetie. Exactly. This is pathetic. You really think this is gonna work? It's sad. Excellent
00:43:30Thank you, Mr. Yates, that's all
00:43:38Yes
00:43:43What are you willing to sell me the brand
00:43:49Awesome, thank you
00:43:54Hello, yes
00:43:57Wow, yes, of course
00:44:00Absolutely. Mm-hmm. Thank you
00:44:03This store along with the entire brand has been sold to mr. Shepherd the Shepherd group is the new owner
00:44:10How may I be of service today?
00:44:13Well, Laura, I don't know much about fashion. So I would like to give you this brand to you
00:44:19You can't be serious. You don't have the kind of money to buy this store. Don't listen to her
00:44:26You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else you're not welcome here. I want the two of these out of my store. I
00:44:37Want the two of these out of my store, of course
00:44:43Come on sir, ma'am, I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave well, we're not leaving. Okay
00:44:48Hey, this isn't over Laura, could I try the dress on now, of course miss Lewis you just follow me
00:45:02Wow miss Lewis this dress really was made for you
00:45:10Laura do you look
00:45:12breathtaking in this dress
00:45:14Brian
00:45:15Why would you do all of this for me? All right
00:45:23Because you deserve everything beautiful in the world
00:45:27And that includes this dress, thank you
00:45:32Will you give us a chance to see where things could go? I
00:45:37I
00:45:38Need a moment
00:45:40Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting
00:45:45Does that mean you could be a yes, maybe?
00:46:08Well, well well
00:46:10Look who decided to join the party playing dress-up again
00:46:13Laura one more disrespectful remark towards Laura Miss Smith and you understand the meaning of rude
00:46:19You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone for this this gold-digger
00:46:24You know Ben. I
00:46:26Really cared about you even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce
00:46:30I know the name of a great psychologist in New York
00:46:34Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues
00:46:40Enough. I've had enough of this drama. Yeah, me too
00:46:44Try that again and you'll regret it
00:46:48I'll get the hell out of my face
00:46:50Let's see if you two even make it past the door. Yeah
00:46:55I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list. What that's impossible. I was invited by the CEO himself
00:47:03Unfortunately, neither Harrison group or Smith group the name is on the list
00:47:09Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all
00:47:12You don't have an invitation. You're just here because of Brian
00:47:20Let me see this this doesn't even look real it's different from mine. Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:25This appears to be a VIP invitation from the vice president
00:47:30Please right this way we can continue this discussion later if you manage to get in
00:47:39Sir madam, we recommend you leave
00:47:45There you are, how dare you steal my fiance
00:47:55There you are
00:47:57How dare you steal my fiance?
00:47:59Looks like another relationship bites the dust. Laura
00:48:03Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours
00:48:05Get away from him
00:48:07He's engaged to me. Hey, hold your horses Gwen that ended a long time ago
00:48:12Engaged to you everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian your relationship's history
00:48:21That was just a little tiff you really think that could tear us apart
00:48:26Don't you know who I am
00:48:28Don't pretend like you don't know. Oh, honey. She don't recognize royalty. Let alone in duke. She's just a maid
00:48:35Remember, I don't have time for all this drama
00:48:39Brian let's head inside
00:48:43Brian how could you choose this cleaner over me?

00:50:22She actually used to be a cleaner in his company. What?
00:50:26Are you saying brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:31Well, she's pretending to be lewis to get close to him
00:50:35What are you planning I want to destroy shepherd group
00:50:43Anyway, I am terribly sorry about chloe now. I had no idea she would be so
00:50:51Intense
00:50:54What do you mean you so should have taken her up on her offer, I mean you guys are just
00:51:01Power couple
00:51:04I see what you're doing power couple you say
00:51:08More like a disaster waiting to happen

00:51:46Laura is my guest and I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her. Got it
00:51:54Mr. Shepherd, what do you see in that woman?
00:51:59Miss duke is a perfect match for you. She's from a good family
00:52:03Beautiful and successful. What more could you ask for? That's a good question
00:52:09Not much actually
00:52:12Honesty
00:52:14That's what I want
00:52:16and love
00:52:17Things that clearly chloe has no idea. I said I was sorry
00:52:23What more do you want? I've watched chloe grow up. She's like a daughter to me
00:52:29I won't allow her to be spoken to like that
00:52:35Anyway
00:52:38One more chance brian, let's forget all this nonsense
00:52:42Do it mr. Shepherd propose right here right now
00:52:48Brian
00:52:51Is this how the duke family handles business deals
00:52:56By forcing a ring on someone
00:52:59Do it or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the duke family
00:53:03Okay
00:53:08Don't you dare
00:53:11You're humiliating yourself
00:53:13Dare you do you really like this nobody from nowhere? Yes
00:53:19I like it
00:53:22But I can't imagine someone like her interceding me
00:53:28The truth is
00:53:29I wouldn't be here where I am today
00:53:31without her
00:53:33Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:36Exactly. This woman is trouble. She doesn't belong here. Throw her out
00:53:41You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me
00:53:46interesting turn of events
00:53:48Perhaps it's time. We shed some light on your mysterious past. Do you?

00:53:57That you're the missing heiress laura lewis
00:54:00Is
00:54:02You know what maybe you're right chloe
00:54:05Ridiculous
00:54:06Is that what you've been telling everyone? I'm sure that
00:54:10the duke family still values cooperation, but
00:54:14wow
00:54:16Did I underestimate your foolishness chloe?
00:54:19You have no right to talk to mr. Blanett
00:54:22That's enough. You don't get to talk here
00:54:25You got mad shepherd you dare to go against miss duke and the same applies to everyone else here anyone who insults laura
00:54:33Leaves with a black eye is willing to offend the chick for her. What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:39I want to be careful brian

00:56:16Listen carefully
00:56:18I need you to protect the shepherd group stock at all
00:56:22Costs don't let it drop
00:56:25even one
00:56:26cent
00:56:28Do you understand?
00:56:29well
00:56:31Award-winning performance laura, but you can't possibly control the stock
00:56:36Want to put your money where your mouth is chloe if
00:56:43The shepherd stock holds
00:56:46for the next five minutes
00:56:50You owe me a public apology
00:56:52Gene
00:56:58Deal
00:57:03Well looks like your five minutes is up, let's see how the shepherd stock is doing
00:57:15What the shepherd group stock prices it's going up this can't be happening it must be a coincidence
00:57:23Oh
00:57:28Why didn't you short the stock like I asked
00:57:31There was a huge investment. We couldn't compete shepherd stock prices being heavily supported
00:57:38How did you do this
00:57:40Like I said chloe
00:57:43I'm laura lewis
00:57:46No, you're not you're just some cleaner. You don't have access to billions
00:57:50Well, I think it's time for my apology
00:58:00No
00:58:01I think it's time for my apology. There is no way i'm apologizing to you
00:58:06If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:58:10chloe the truth is
00:58:13Everyone here has seen you be a bully and a coward
00:58:20and now
00:58:21a sore
00:58:22loser
00:58:23This is so humiliating for her
00:58:27How did she manage that?
00:58:28Maybe she really is a lewis
00:58:31Apologize to miss lewis
00:58:33Shut up. Don't you dare talk about miss duke like that
00:58:38Don't forget the duke found me on half of maplewood. You're gonna lose it. Let's get out of here
00:58:45Hold on
00:58:47This
00:58:48Is where I belong
00:58:50and that
00:58:52Is my chair you can't go there that is the vip section
00:58:57Only those invited by the lewis group vice presidents get to sit there
00:59:02Like I said chloe
00:59:04That's my seat
00:59:07So
00:59:11I had a rumor floating around a few days ago
00:59:14Seems miss lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and
00:59:20Mr. Shepard wasn't it? Are you planning another outburst laura? Is this how you charm all your men?
00:59:27Shall we?
00:59:29My pleasure
00:59:31What are you doing?
00:59:33Let go it doesn't matter what happened I choose to stay by laura's side
00:59:39Let's go don't be absurd that seat is reserved for a very important guest
00:59:46Someone so esteemed even the vice presidents have to bow low
00:59:52And
00:59:54how
00:59:55exactly mr. Jones
00:59:58Are you so sure that i'm?
01:00:00Not that esteemed guest wait, that's peter young director of business affairs at lewis group
01:00:10That's peter young he decides which
01:00:12It's uh, chloe duke head of duke industries. So glad you could join us. Why is everyone standing around? It's her
01:00:19She's making a huge scene trying to claim the vip seat. It's it's embarrassing that seat's reserved for the lewis group vip guest
01:00:27specifically the family heir
01:00:30Please get off the stage
01:00:32Oh, yes
01:00:33Mr. Young
01:00:35Was it I think I remember you you manage my family's investments
01:00:41Don't pretend like you know what's going on
01:00:44Please get off the stage that seat's reserved for the lewis family heir
01:00:48I need to make one thing
01:00:50crystal clear
01:00:55I
01:00:58Am the heir
01:01:00to lewis family
01:01:04This is ridiculous
01:01:05you
01:01:06The lewis heir don't you know that miss lewis is a legend around here?
01:01:10You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this. Exactly
01:01:15We ran a background check on her and turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the harrison group
01:01:21before that
01:01:22I can see her in my family's supermarket
01:01:24See brian
01:01:26This is who you've been chasing after a liar and a cheat
01:01:29Security
01:01:30Get this imposter out of here and everyone here is a witness. Why would any of you trust laura?
01:01:37if any of you
01:01:39dares to harm her
01:01:41You have to go through me first
01:01:43Brian, she's just a nobody
01:01:46She's just someone that the harrison group ditched
01:01:50They didn't even want her. What exactly do you see in her? Escort this imposter out of here
01:01:55now
01:01:56I'm peter
01:01:59You
01:02:05Peter do you have any idea what you're doing? Mr. Yates. I'm so glad you could join us
01:02:14Miss lewis
01:02:15Sorry about the delay
01:02:17And for all the trouble you've had to put up with it's
01:02:20No trouble. Mr. Yates
01:02:22Luckily, I haven't been alone. I've had the great company of my very loyal
01:02:29Friend wait a minute
01:02:31She's miss lewis. Is this a joke?
01:02:34Mr. Young
01:02:35You're new to the lewis group. So
01:02:38I can understand why you wouldn't recognize miss lewis
01:02:41But you listened to lies without checking the facts
01:02:45And almost called the police
01:02:49Tell me mr. Young who put you up to this? Was it my uncle livian lewis?
01:02:55I
01:02:59Knew it
01:03:02Consider this your termination
01:03:06I get it now
01:03:08This is all an act
01:03:09Right chloe. What are you doing? We still want to work with the lewis family work with him
01:03:13Are you blind this woman is clearly having an affair with this old man
01:03:18That's enough young lady. You've got no right to disrespect the head of the lewis group
01:03:23Oh
01:03:25Chloe I can't believe we're going through this again. I think you need some professional
01:03:31Help, maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist. Chloe
01:03:35That's enough. It's ridiculous. If you were really the lewis family heir you would have the ring
01:03:40So why don't you show it to everyone show us the ring?
01:03:47Why don't you show that to everyone show us
01:03:50The ring show us the ring who
01:03:52Are you to make demands of me?
01:03:55I don't answer to anyone but myself
01:03:59I don't need any of your validation
01:04:10Vice presidents
01:04:12I'm chloe duke of the duke family. This woman is an imposter miss lewis
01:04:17We apologize for the delay
01:04:19How could you just let that con woman sit there get her out of here this seat was always for miss lewis
01:04:26She's the special guest we've been waiting for the investment queen
01:04:32the real heir to lewis group
01:04:35laura lewis
01:04:36She's a divorced host wife a janitor. How can she she can't be it's a lie. I'm telling you. It's a lie
01:04:43Do you think we'd lie?
01:04:45We run lewis group
01:04:47Oh chloe you
01:04:50Assaulted me earlier
01:04:52And you came to this meeting to what?
01:04:55sabotage it
01:04:57You'll be hearing from our legal team
01:05:02This is true, mr. Duke, did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:05:08Yes, it's all true she fooled us all
01:05:11The dukes tricked us to keep lewis group out of maple woods and control everything themselves I had no idea
01:05:18But i'm on your side
01:05:21I can give you everything you need all the resources in maplewood miss lewis
01:05:26How would you like us to deal with this?
01:05:29an eye
01:05:31for an eye
01:05:34Since miss duke here loves ruining things
01:05:41I'll target her precious duke
01:05:44industries
01:05:45I want them bankrupt in 10 minutes
01:05:49You're bluffing
01:05:50You're nobody. You'll always be a nobody and you can't touch me then consider this a test
01:05:58chloe
01:05:59I didn't need my family's support with shepherd and I certainly don't need it now chloe
01:06:04Chloe
01:06:05You dug your own grave you think you can destroy maplewood's leading family with just the shepherd group
01:06:12please
01:06:16We'll see
01:06:21Dad slow down. What are you talking about?
01:06:27No
01:06:29It's impossible
01:06:31Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:33Years of hard work destroyed in minutes
01:06:39What did you do well chloe
01:06:45Isn't this what you wanted to give me a little taste of destruction
01:06:49This is impossible
01:06:51It's impossible
01:06:53Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:55The news is everywhere
01:06:57Shepherd's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market
01:07:01They're hammering our shares
01:07:03Are you sure it's just yes
01:07:06Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato
01:07:10We could go bankrupt. You've ruined everything. Don't worry. Mr. Duke when
01:07:15Your company does go bankrupt
01:07:17I'll buy it at a fire sale price. Your employees won't even be affected brilliant
01:07:26Now
01:07:28this
01:07:29Is my event
01:07:31Please leave brian. I did this for us
01:07:34Everything I did I did for us brian
01:07:38Chloe
01:07:40You need help these feelings you have for me. It's not love
01:07:46It's obsession enough if you don't want to ruin everything completely you'll come with me right now
01:07:56Right now
01:07:59What
01:08:14What is going on here
01:08:16Did they finally expose laura's lies shepherd group? They're the new partner that's partnering up with lewis group from maplewood
01:08:23They're handling all future construction projects
01:08:26That can't be
01:08:27What about us that was our project remember laura teamed up with brian
01:08:32Harrison group is practically out and we have no chance
01:08:35We can't give up that easily
01:08:37Remember ian lewis himself appointed me as general manager
01:08:41In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir
01:08:44You're right. If we can just meet with a new heir we can bypass the shepherds and meet directly with the lewis group
01:08:51We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top
01:08:55That's right
01:09:00Vice presidents allow me to introduce my associate brian shepherd
01:09:07Mr. Shepherd finally pleasure to meet you
01:09:11We've looked into your uh company's financial review
01:09:14Very impressive. Thank you
01:09:17Thank you, but a large part of that success is thanks to miss lewis
01:09:21No
01:09:23She practically saved me from disaster three times over now brian. You can just call me more
01:09:30Miss lewis's recommendation is very telling mr. Shepherd
01:09:34Perhaps today he clarifies everything. Mr. Shepherd. This opportunity is gone
01:09:41Seize it
01:09:42A woman like laura is not easy to find. Thank you for your kind words. Mr. Vice president
01:09:52So
01:09:56Did laura send you to kill me laura
01:10:00hardly
01:10:01I'm, ian lewis ceo and rightful heir of the lewis group
01:10:08So you're laura's uncle in the flesh
01:10:12So laura really is your niece
01:10:14Yes, little laura
01:10:17She just threw away her birthright about two three years ago
01:10:21Ran off and married a nobody from maplewood. I think he was a harrison now
01:10:26Laura's got the vps and mr. Yates on her side
01:10:29Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?
01:10:33And we can't let that happen. Can we my dear?
01:10:36If you're ian lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring? Well, my dear
01:10:41That's where you come in miss duke. We need you to relinquish my ring
01:10:45You
01:10:47What if I what if I fail my family is already ruined yes, you are in a spot of bother I must say
01:10:54but
01:10:55If successful, I guarantee that you and the duke family will get back everything you've lost
01:11:02Laura's got the vps and brian on her side. How can I possibly get the ring? There is a way you know
01:11:08That we can make laura
01:11:10Relinquish and give up that ring
01:11:13Willingly
01:11:16Laura my dear welcome uncle ian. It's so good to see you

01:18:45But laura has been in a car accident
01:18:48And tragically, she hasn't made it. She has not survived
01:18:56What laura lewis is is dead
01:18:59It doesn't matter now. She's gone. Mr. Lewis. Is this new tragic turn of events, mr

01:20:07Impossible. How are you still alive?
01:20:09Well, clearly I am alive and well, so why don't we get this started? No
01:20:15You're not the rightful heir
