00:00:00I'm pregnant, you're going to 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.
00:00:11For Catherine.
00:00:13Unlike you, I'm young and rich.
00:00:15I can give Bradley what he deserves.
00:00:17Catherine hired me to be vice president of her family's hospital.
00:00:20She's also way better in bed.
00:00:23What's that?
00:00:25She's pregnant?
00:00:27What?
00:00:29She must be faking it to trap you.
00:00:32No one's faking it.
00:00:33You're so desperate.
00:00:35Give it back! Stop!
00:00:36No, I'm not.
00:00:37Give it back!
00:00:38No!
00:00:54Bradley.
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.
00:01:32We'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.
00:01:52This is about holding them accountable.
00:01:54Are you sure you're ready for this?
00:01:56I've been preparing for years, Mom.
00:01:59Okay.
00:02:00But there is a condition.
00:02:07I have an important announcement.
00:02:09My 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.
00:02:22Trust me.
00:02:24I'm more than ready.
00:02:27Furthermore, Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:02:34Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:02:40There is a condition.
00:02:41You're going to have to marry Joshua Lane, the heir of Lane Holdings.
00:02:46Mia's never even met this guy before.
00:02:48It's a strategic alliance, Noah.
00:02:53It's what's best for our families and the company.
00:02:56I'll do it.
00:03:00I'll marry Joshua Lane if that's what it takes.
00:03:04And this alliance will strengthen our company and secure our future.
00:03:11Joshua Lane
00:03:18Isn't Joshua Lane famous for being cold and ruffles?
00:03:22That's what I heard.
00:03:24I think it'll be good for the company.
00:03:25I don't think it'll be good for the new CEO.
00:03:32Joshua Lane
00:03:41Joshua Lane
00:03:48Joshua, I was hoping we could...
00:03:49Not interested. Get lost.
00:03:55Man, you are brutal. That's the fifth girl you've turned down tonight.
00:04:00Hey, I heard you're getting hitched to Mia Gerber.
00:04:02Why didn't you turn her down?
00:04:03This marriage is what my parents want.
00:04:05Couldn't care less about her.
00:04:07Oh, come on. She's the heiress to the Gerber Corporation.
00:04:09There must be some perks to her.
00:04:11Perks are not.
00:04:12She'll learn quickly that I'm not one to be messed with.
00:04:15Gonna give her a hard time, huh?
00:04:17Let's just say that she's got something coming.
00:04:30Do you, Joshua Lane, take Mia Gerber for your lawfully wedded wife?
00:04:35I do.
00:04:37And you, Mia Gerber, do you take Joshua Lane for your lawfully wedded husband?
00:04:43I do.
00:04:45Rings?
00:04:54You may now kiss the bride.
00:05:07Let's get one thing straight, Mia.
00:05:09This marriage is a show for our family and the rest of the world.
00:05:13Don't expect any affection from me.
00:05:15Understood. And vice versa.
00:05:19My parents want to set up a dinner with us. My assistant will set it up.
00:05:23She can coordinate schedules with my assistant.
00:05:25Done.
00:05:27My parents want to set up a dinner with us. My assistant will set it up.
00:05:30She can coordinate schedules with my assistant.
00:05:32Done.
00:05:57Joshua has always been so distant with people.
00:06:02Unlike Alex here, who's so popular and charismatic.
00:06:07You should see all the women that can't stop chasing.
00:06:10Well, at least I don't have to worry if Alex can give me a grandson.
00:06:16But I wonder, Joshua, if you can even warm up enough.
00:06:21But I wonder, Joshua, if you can even warm up enough to give me a child.
00:06:24But I wonder, Joshua, if you can even warm up enough to give me a child.
00:06:27We need an heir after all.
00:06:29Eleanor, that's enough.
00:06:32I'm just saying, perhaps Alex is a better fit to lead Lane Hogan's.
00:06:38Quite the contrary.
00:06:40Actually, Joshua's very passionate.
00:06:43Especially in the bedroom.
00:06:45No doubt that you'll have that heir soon.
00:06:52For your information, passion is not in my DNA.
00:06:56Nor does it align with my personal brand.
00:07:00But still, thank you for standing up for me.
00:07:05I just didn't appreciate your stepmom's attitude.
00:07:15Get the campaign ready.
00:07:16I want that jerk out ASAP.
00:07:22Noah, hey. I need a favor.
00:07:30You're right. Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua.
00:07:35Blue Diamond PR is already involved.
00:07:37What agency are we using?
00:07:40We're still deciding. Bids are open for this year's contract.
00:07:44Perfect. I have a plan.
00:07:51I'm offering the Gerber Corporation's annual PR budget.
00:07:54It's one of the largest in the industry.
00:07:56That's an enticing offer, Ms. Gerber.
00:08:00What do you ask of me in return?
00:08:02I need you to withdraw from any campaign against Joshua Lane.
00:08:06I don't mind. I'll cover the cancellation fee.
00:08:14You have a deal.
00:08:15The Gerber Corporation account is too good to pass up.
00:08:19There's a little more.
00:08:21I need you to spread the word.
00:08:23Any PR firm that goes against Joshua Lane will be blacklisted from the Gerber Corporation and our allies.
00:08:30You got it. No one in this industry would be stupid enough to fight against the Gerber Corporation.
00:08:37Wonderful. Looking forward to a fruitful partnership.
00:08:42I have evidence of Alex's scheme against you all.
00:08:46But don't worry, I've already taken care of it.
00:08:50I always knew Eleanor and Alex would be after my position.
00:08:53I just didn't expect Alex to be this bold.
00:08:56How do you know about this?
00:08:58Alex struck me as opportunistic.
00:09:00A smear campaign is the easiest way to sway the shareholders' opinion.
00:09:03Eleanor's background in PR made this move predictable.
00:09:06You're more perceptive than I thought.
00:09:09Why are you helping me?
00:09:13Our family's alliance is crucial.
00:09:15Protecting you means protecting the Gerber Corporation.
00:09:18It's all business.
00:09:22Business, right.
00:09:24Well, in that case, I should help you with your beef with Katherine and Bradley, right?
00:09:27How did you know about that?
00:09:30You didn't expect me to enter into the marriage without doing background checks.
00:09:33I just don't get what the big deal about your ex is.
00:09:36I mean, he cheated on you. So what?
00:09:41She must be faking it to trap you.
00:09:46How dare you!
00:09:48I'm not going to let you get away with this.
00:09:50I'm not going to let you get away with this.
00:09:53I'm not going to let you get away with this.
00:09:56How dare you!
00:09:58You had no right to dig into my past like that.
00:10:01I can take care of myself.
00:10:07What just happened?
00:10:12To your new position as Senior VP.
00:10:17And it's all thanks to my help, of course.
00:10:19Absolutely. You're my lucky charm, honey.
00:10:26Imagine if I'd stayed with Mia.
00:10:29Poor and powerless. That's all she ever was.
00:10:31She's a joke. A stepping stone at best.
00:10:35With you by my side, we are unstoppable.
00:10:49Katherine's Hospital is resisting our acquisition.
00:10:51Bradley, as the new Senior VP, is leading the pushback.
00:10:55Do they know I'm the CEO yet?
00:10:57No, as per your request.
00:10:59Perfect. Keep at it.
00:11:06Now how do I pull this off?
00:11:09There are gaps in Mia's medical record right after her breakup.
00:11:13These are from the Gerber Corporation's own hospital.
00:11:16Only someone higher up from within can access it.
00:11:25I want to know what happened to Mia during that gap, after the breakup.
00:11:29Even if I know, why would I tell you?
00:11:31I don't know.
00:11:33I don't know.
00:11:35After the breakup.
00:11:37Even if I know, why would I tell you?
00:11:39Mia helped me, but unless I understand that part of the puzzle,
00:11:43I won't be able to return her favor.
00:11:45Do you care for her?
00:11:48You don't dislike her?
00:11:50Now, Mia deserves someone who truly loves her.
00:11:54Not you.
00:11:56She's a grown woman. She knows what she wants.
00:11:58Nobody gets to tell her what she deserves.
00:12:00Especially not you.
00:12:06You can choose not to share the information,
00:12:09but you won't be helping her.
00:12:12Your choice.
00:12:16Alright, look.
00:12:18If you have to know,
00:12:20unfortunately,
00:12:22Mia had a miscarriage
00:12:24because of an accident involving Bradley and Catherine.
00:12:27How are you feeling?
00:12:31It's none of your business.
00:12:33Not that you would know what that means.
00:12:36I'm fine.
00:12:42I'm sorry.
00:12:46I'm sorry.
00:12:52I'm sorry.
00:12:54business not that you would know what that means I'm sorry for overstepping
00:12:59and being insensitive I learned about your miscarriage I had no idea you
00:13:05didn't know that doesn't excuse my behavior I apologize I may have ever

00:28:58what's going on here Joshua why are you acting so rash this is ridiculous you
00:29:03invite him into our house just to talk to him I didn't invite Joshua I'm sorry
00:29:08Mia I didn't mean to cause any rift between you two it wasn't my intention
00:29:11it's fine why are you here I'm here to protect you and the company I suspected
00:29:17Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare
00:29:22is that Dwayne and the CEO of Melody Healthcare
00:29:31this plan is our game-changer what about Melody Healthcare they're our
00:29:37biggest rival they're going in a completely different direction we're way
00:29:40ahead of them and how do you know the CEO approached me the other day try to
00:29:47get some information from me but I flipped it and got some information from
00:29:50him I got to betray my own company and be a fool to think that right of course
00:29:56Dwayne let's go ahead with the plan
00:30:00see he's fine I don't know there's something strange about him I can't put
00:30:11my finger on it but just keep your eyes open okay I will
00:30:19Mia suspected but I made her trust me now let's go ahead and move forward with
00:30:26the plan excellent once we execute the strategy the Gerbers will be blindsided
00:30:33Melody Healthcare will be the number one Mia Gerber will be out of the company
00:30:40and I'll be the number one
00:30:48how did they get ahead of us this was our strategy where's Dwayne he's outside
00:30:55I don't know
00:31:06Melody Healthcare just announced their new AI generated online psychiatric care
00:31:11the similarity of the details to ours is uncanny I don't know we kept everything
00:31:20under wraps they must have developed this independently Mia you're just too
00:31:26young you're not experienced enough in this business world this stuff happens
00:31:30I'm experienced enough to know that this is not a coincidence and I don't need
00:31:36you to tell me what I do and do not know you can leave
00:31:51why do you look so sullen all the time doesn't look good on you Wow thanks for
00:32:01the comfort
00:32:03damn it why did I have to say that like that
00:32:11miss Gerber an emergency board meeting has been called what
00:32:21we need to talk about the leadership of this company it is clear that Mia's
00:32:26recent decisions well they've been questionable
00:32:34acquiring Catherine Phinney's Hospital was big misstep now Melody's healthcare
00:32:41is outpacing us Mia I'm sorry but you're too young and inexperienced to be in
00:32:47this role I believe under my leadership our profits have already increased by 20%
00:32:53compared to last year that's due to the overall market trend not because your
00:32:58leadership my strategies have been more than effective the Finley acquisition
00:33:04has potential long-term benefits and our growth by the way it's not just a fluke
00:33:10this company this board needs a leader with experience and vision not someone
00:33:17learning on a job as a senior VP on behalf of all the employees with Gerber
00:33:21Corporation we support me I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been
00:33:26conspiring Melody healthcare to undermine the company I also have
00:33:31evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring Melody healthcare undermine
00:33:35the company what what is this what are you doing these are communications

00:36:13why couldn't Joshua just tell me about his suspicions Joshua's a he's a
00:36:20complicated man he means well but he struggles with expressing himself he's

00:42:18right there what's wrong it's Joshua he's been in an accident
00:42:24excuse me excuse me I'm here for Joshua Lane
00:42:39Joshua miss Gerber yeah we found that mr. Lane was attempting to call you when
00:42:47the accident occurred it was nobody's fault it was an accident but right now
00:42:57he needs you do your best to help him wake up for you I won't leave you
00:43:04Joshua
00:43:09you remember that soup he made me I meant the world to me
00:43:15whenever you get better I'm gonna make you that soup isn't it was your mom's
00:43:22recipe it was those little moments with you
00:43:27you know whenever we would wake up and come out of our rooms and see each other
00:43:32in the morning sometimes I was the happiest part of my day
00:43:45please come back to me this is all your fault Mia you drove him to this you hurt
00:43:57him and now look what's happened to him
00:44:07Mia we have a problem Eleanor and Alex are plotting to make Alex the new CEO
00:44:13while Joshua was in a coma now even Joshua's father has been convinced so
00:44:17they're using Joshua's condition to their advantage I won't stand for it
00:44:21what's the plan I'm meeting with mr. Lane he's a key shareholder of Lane
00:44:26Holdings his voice can sway there thank you for agreeing to meet me on such
00:44:32short notice mr. Lane I've always been curious about the famous Mia Gerber
00:44:36after all you're the one who led Gerber corporation to the next level I'm merely
00:44:42stating a fact not everyone in the second generation is as capable as you
00:44:46so tell me why do you want to see me is it about Alex being the new CEO you're a
00:44:53wise man mr. Lane Joshua's vision has been the driving force behind Lane
00:44:58Holdings we cannot allow Alex to derail that I can't do anything at this time
00:45:05Joshua was out of commission it's best to have someone lead the company
00:45:09Gerald is not in good health after a stroke Alex is the only choice what if I
00:45:17told you there's another choice
00:45:21and what if I told you there's another choice I can be the interim CEO of Lane
00:45:28Holdings as Joshua's legal wife I can uphold his legacy and as you mentioned
00:45:33before I'm a very capable CEO in my own right your vote of course is crucial but
00:45:39more than anything people trust your judgment if you choose to have faith in
00:45:44me others will follow and I promise I won't disappoint can you run two
00:45:50companies at the same time I have a very capable team over a Gerber corporation
00:45:55they'll keep things running smoothly even if I'm not there full-time I'll
00:45:59devote my time to Lane Holdings until Joshua gets better what if he doesn't
00:46:05he will I admire your tenacity I'll do what I can
00:46:11thank you mr. Lane
00:46:30I'll fight for you Joshua
00:46:33you did the same for me
00:46:38I won't let you down
00:46:46given Joshua's current condition I propose Mia Gerber as the interim CEO
00:46:52of Lane Holdings Mia Gerber she's from a different company
00:46:57how is she even qualified me and his Joshua's wife the legal heir she's
00:47:02proven her capabilities with Gerber corporation combining the strengths of
00:47:05both companies and her leadership will only make Lane Holdings strong this is
00:47:10absurd Mia is practically a stranger to our
00:47:14company's operations while I appreciate your concerns I think my track record
00:47:20speaks for itself and unlike Alex here who has had his hand in multiple
00:47:24questionable business dealings I offer a clean slate and a fresh perspective I
00:47:31agree with mr. Lane Mia's appointment as interim CEO is the best course of
00:47:36action for now we're dead stop Alex
00:47:45Joshua I hope you're proud
00:47:51let's go you can take over no consequences Mia I'm gonna make a pay
00:48:01you won't be touching her who the fuck are you
00:48:09damn it she's gone take care
00:48:19see the security camera I'm gonna get the footage and if you ever try and hurt
00:48:24me again I'll call the police you'll never become a CEO of Lane Holdings ever
00:48:29damn it
00:48:41thanks
00:48:49no what happened don't worry I'm fine you're you're not fine you're bleeding
00:48:59are you okay
00:49:03thanks but the reason I came over is I wanted to finish our conversation before
00:49:09mrs. Lane it's mr. Lane he's waking up from the coma I have to go to the
00:49:16hospital no no nothing's more important than Joshua right now Joshua Joshua
00:49:27fucking Joshua

00:50:38I'm sorry for all the pain that caused you I'm not being honest about my
00:50:44feelings I was afraid to admit it even to myself I can't hide it anymore I love
00:50:53you Mia I never thought I'd hear you say those
00:50:57words I should have said them sooner
00:51:03I love you too Joshua

00:51:37underappreciated Noah maybe we could help each other out

00:51:54CEO Lane Holdings I handled things I actually have a business meeting later
00:52:00today with a potential partner who's the partner Kevin Katz he's a key player in
00:52:08the industry Katz he's notorious for being handsy with business partners I
00:52:14don't like the idea of you two being alone I can handle Katz I've dealt with
00:52:20worse just be careful
00:52:29I promise
00:52:34I gotta go
00:52:44so our collaboration will be mutually beneficial especially when expanding
00:52:48into new markets absolutely Mia I've always admired Lane Holdings now with
00:52:54you at the helm perhaps we can find ways to make our partnership more enjoyable
00:53:02mr. Katz let's keep this strictly professional oh come on Mia don't be
00:53:09such a prude business is more fun when there's a personal touch
00:53:16don't you agree I will not be doing business with people who cannot respect
00:53:22personal boundaries you'll regret this I could ruin Lane Holdings reputation
00:53:32now you have one last chance oh that's for being a disgusting pig
00:53:46you
00:53:50hey how'd the meeting go
00:53:55let's just say Kevin Katz won't be bothering us anymore what did he do I

00:54:45woman oh you can't do this Lane I can sue you and you'll end up in jail this
00:54:59is you mr. Katz doing something quite illegal I must say your taste is really
00:55:05reprehensible you can't sue me it was a long time ago I could still release the
00:55:11video you'll lose everything in fact just the victim's identity was protected
00:55:19and they'll be set for the rest of their life you you so much as speak a word
00:55:25about me or me I'll make sure you wish you were born where were you I was

00:56:02I love you too Mia
00:56:06I have a surprise for you
00:56:11I made something for you what's this it's your mom's recipe I found in a
00:56:24cookbook in the library I can't believe you made this that I might bring you
00:56:32some comfort
00:56:35this is exactly how she used to make it how did you get it so right I may have
00:56:48had some help from the internet and about 50 practice runs you're just the
00:56:56best we have a plan that could ship the balance of power in our favor our plan
00:57:07didn't overthrow Mia Gerber in the Gerber corporation but this time we
00:57:13will I just I don't want me to lose everything I promise you she won't with
00:57:19the Gerber family's fortune Mia's set for life she just won't be the CEO
00:57:25think about this with the Gerber family out of practice Lane holdings they won't
00:57:32partner with them Joshua Lane will probably divorce Mia because she's no
00:57:36use to him you can finally be yours here's the plan we target Gerber
00:57:43corporation's medical device supplier network this roughly will cause
00:57:46significant issues in the hospital and psychiatric care units and we proceed
00:57:53Melody healthcare has insiders inside their supply chain we'll start by
00:57:58creating delays and quality issues the fallout will be immediate and
00:58:02devastating the resources stretch so thin they won't even see us coming
00:58:15congratulations on your recovery Joshua it's good to see you up and about thanks
00:58:20for coming and thank you for being there for me during the coma it means a
00:58:27lot but it didn't matter did it in the end only Mia matters to you
00:58:35Susie you'll always matter to me but yes I love me I'll always love you too but
00:58:45as a friend that's not going to be enough for me it's time for me to live
00:58:50my own life that's why I'm here to say goodbye
00:58:57what's your plan I'm helping out my dad with our family company Harper medical
00:59:03devices that's Gerber corporation's biggest supplier right yeah
00:59:10Susie you wouldn't don't worry Joshua we're not gonna do anything to Mia
00:59:14focusing on my own path now
00:59:19goodbye Joshua
00:59:23you
00:59:34why are there so many cancelled contracts with Gerber corporation hey
00:59:41you haven't noticed any suppliers backing out of deals with Gerber
00:59:46corporation there are rumors someone's been persuading them to cut ties with
00:59:52the Gerbers
01:00:02hello
01:00:06what do you mean they've stopped supplying to us
01:00:11you
01:00:20Noah the suppliers are backing out for no reason it's competitive market Mia
01:00:26yeah but this feels coordinated isn't that unusual yeah it is I'm gonna look
01:00:31into it hey are you okay yeah I'm fine she's
01:00:36busy don't worry about me okay
01:00:47you look like you've been through a war zone what what happened it's the
01:00:52supplier crisis situation's worse than I thought
01:00:59I don't know what to do Joshua
01:01:03we'll get through this together
01:01:15thank you all for coming we understand your concerns and we're
01:01:20prepared to increase profits to maintain our partnerships
01:01:34now the offer looks good but we heard some rumors of internal issues within
01:01:39the corporation company involving a higher level let me assure you Gerber
01:01:45corporation is as strong as ever these rumors are unfounded
01:01:52you're right there are gaps in Noah's whereabouts keep digging we need
01:02:05concrete evidence Mia Noah might be involved with the issues at the company
01:02:14there's no way he's very loyal to the company although he has been acting
01:02:19have you ever considered he might have feelings for you I mean feelings make us
01:02:25do things no no as a brother to me he's never even said anything remotely
01:02:31romantic actions speak louder than words I mean sure he's supportive and caring
01:02:38but that's just Noah being Noah I really don't think there's anything more to it
01:02:43sometimes the people closest to us surprise us the most
01:02:52hey just wanted to check in we haven't had any time to talk lately I've been
01:02:57good I've just been busy dealing with the supplier crisis I know and I'm
01:03:01really grateful for you you've done so much I never wanted you to be burdened I
01:03:05care too much about you
01:03:11hey I have a question you don't secretly have feelings for me do you what if I do
01:03:31really I've put this off for too long and I need to tell you now I've loved
01:03:40you since the first time I met you I still remember that day like it was
01:03:47yesterday you were just starting college and came to visit the office during
01:03:52summer break or a blue dress and look like a princess I was just starting off
01:03:58the company and I I come from a humble background so I never thought I could be
01:04:03with someone like you not anymore I'm stronger
01:04:11I know we should be together
01:04:16Noah I've really only ever seen you as a friend
01:04:27it's because Joshua's done things for you I've done more no I love him okay we
01:04:34understand each other because you're both born with silver spoons in your
01:04:38mouth and I wasn't you know it's not that I just I have a really strong
01:04:45feeling about him I'm just not feeling you
01:04:51no I'm sorry I didn't mean to lead you on and it wasn't my intention to hurt
01:04:58you
01:05:00it's okay
01:05:04I understand just needed to hear it from you
01:05:09yep
01:05:14Dwayne double down on the plan there's no going back now
01:05:22Noah what brings you here? I think it's time for your company to reconsider its
01:05:33partnership with Gerber. I'm not sure what you're implying. It's simple
01:05:37Harper Medical Devices is the biggest supplier for Gerber Corporation if you
01:05:43cut ties with Gerber it'll deal a critical blow to them. So you're the one
01:05:50behind the scheme. Why would I go along with it? The question is why wouldn't you?
01:05:57You and I are alike Susie. I don't want to love people who don't love us back. I've already let it go.
01:06:04Why let it go when you still have a chance?
01:06:07If me and the Gerber family are out of the company, the Lean family won the
01:06:12business alliance, Joshua and Mia will get divorced, you and I can finally be
01:06:18together again.
01:06:23Join me. Together we can make sure we aren't ignored anymore.
01:06:31So Mia, we've heard Smart Suppliers are terminating contracts.
01:06:35Trust me we have the situation under control. That's not what I heard.
01:06:39The rumor is Harper Medical Devices is pulling out.
01:06:43How do you explain this? I assure you we're addressing the concerns but
01:06:47our relationship with our suppliers has never been stronger.
01:06:50As one of the largest shareholders I have complete faith in Mia's leadership.
01:06:55These rumors are just that, rumors.
01:07:03The rumor was right. Harper Medical Devices decided to terminate the
01:07:07contract with us. But there's still hope. I've convinced
01:07:11Harper to continue their partnership with us
01:07:15but only if I become the new CEO. It's time for a change in leadership.
01:07:21Someone who could steer this company in the right direction.
01:07:24So I've brought Susie Harper with me, the acting CEO of Harper Medical Devices.
01:07:30Susie will tell you all that she would like Mia Gerber to resign.
01:07:38Actually, I think there's been a misunderstanding.
01:07:41Harper Medical Devices never intended to terminate our contracts with
01:07:45Gerber Corporation. Any rumor suggesting otherwise is false.
01:07:51Furthermore, I believe in Mia's leadership
01:07:54and the direction that she's taking this company.
01:07:58Thank you Susie. I owe you a big one. You don't owe me anything. I just want
01:08:04Joshua and the person he loves to be happy.
01:08:09Promise me you never hurt him.
01:08:15And I have evidence that Noah Belani has been conspiring with former ousted
01:08:19executive Dwayne Kaiser to sabotage the company.
01:08:25Mr. Belani, your actions have endangered the company
01:08:29and everybody in it. You're therefore terminated
01:08:32immediately.
01:08:58It's quite the view.
01:09:05I thought a lot about what happened and I wanted to say sorry.
01:09:10I should have been clearer. I didn't mean to lead you on.
01:09:16I was lost, Mia. My actions, my obsession.
01:09:23I'm sorry for everything.
01:09:27We both made mistakes. I'm just glad we can put it all behind us.
01:09:34You were a good friend, Noah.
01:09:37You were more than a friend to me, Mia. I've learned to let go.
01:09:45I just want you to be happy.
01:09:50I am. I hope you find your happiness too.
01:09:57Take care, Noah.
01:10:00Me too.
01:10:18We are gathered here today to witness the reaffirmation
01:10:22of vows between Mia and Joshua Lane.
01:10:29Joshua, our marriage was out of necessity, but
01:10:33you've become my partner, my rock, my best friend.
01:10:39Mia, you've given me the gift of a real family. I will vow to cherish
01:10:43and love you forever. This is just the beginning of our forever.
