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