00:04:53you may now kiss the bride
00:05:08let's get one thing straight Mia this marriage is a show for our family and
00:05:12the rest of the world don't expect any affection from me understood and vice
00:05:18versa
00:05:21you
00:05:33my parents want to set up a dinner with us my assistant will set it up she can
00:05:38coordinate schedules with my assistant
00:05:51you
00:06:01Joshua has always been so distant with people unlike Alex here who's so popular
00:06:09and charismatic you should see all the women that can't stop chasing well at
00:06:16least I don't have to worry if oh it's give me a grandson but I wonder Joshua
00:06:22if you can even warm up enough to give me a child we need an heir after all
00:06:28Eleanor that's enough I'm just saying perhaps Alex is a better fit to leave
00:06:36Lane Hortons quite the contrary actually Josh was very passionate especially in
00:06:43the bedroom no doubt that you'll have that heir soon for your information
00:06:54passion is not in my DNA nor does it align with my personal brand but still
00:07:01thank you for standing up for me I just didn't appreciate your stepmoms
00:07:07attitude get the campaign ready want that check out Asa
00:07:22no hey I need a favor
00:07:29you're right Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua
00:07:34Blue Diamond PR is already involved what agency are we using we're still deciding
00:07:40bids are open for this year's contract perfect I have a plan I'm offering the
00:07:50Gerber corporation's annual PR budget it's one of the largest in the industry
00:07:54that's an enticing offer miss Gerber what do you ask of me in return I need
00:08:01you to withdraw from any campaign against Joshua Lane I don't mind I'll
00:08:05cover the cancellation fee you have a deal the Gerber corporation account is
00:08:16too good to pass up there's a little more I need you to spread the word any
00:08:22PR firm that goes against Joshua Lane will be blacklisted from the Gerber
00:08:27corporation and our allies you got it no one in this industry would be stupid
00:08:33enough to fight against the Gerber corporation wonderful looking forward to
00:08:39a fruitful partnership I have evidence of Alex's scheme against you but don't
00:08:50worry I've already taken care of it I always knew Eleanor and Alex to be
00:08:55after my position just didn't expect Alex to be this bold how do you know
00:09:00about this Alex struck me as opportunistic a smear campaign is the
00:09:04easiest way to sway the shareholders opinion and Eleanor's background in PR
00:09:08made this move predictable you're more perceptive than I thought
00:09:12why are you helping me our family's Alliance is crucial protecting you means
00:09:20protecting the Gerber corporation it's all business business right well in that
00:09:29case I should help you with your beef with Catherine and Bradley right how did
00:09:35you know about that didn't expect me to enter into the marriage without doing
00:09:39background checks I just don't get what the big deal about your exes I mean he
00:09:44cheated on you so what she must be faking it to trap you how dare you you
00:09:56had no right to dig into my past like that I can take care of myself what just
00:10:05happened to your new position as senior VP and it's all thanks to my help of
00:10:16course absolutely you're my lucky charm honey
00:10:24imagine if I'd stayed with me poor and powerless that's all she ever was she's
00:10:29a joke a stepping stone at best you by my side we are unstoppable
00:10:46Catherine's Hospital is resisting our acquisition Bradley has the new senior
00:10:50VP is leading the pushback do they know I'm the CEO yet no as per your request
00:10:56perfect keep at it now how do I pull this off
00:11:05there are gaps in Mia's medical record right after her breakup these are from
00:11:19the Gerber corporation's own hospital only someone higher up from within can access it
00:11:24I want to know what happened to Mia during that gap after the breakup even if I know
00:11:35why would I tell you Mia helped me but unless I understand that part of the
00:11:39puzzle I won't be able to return her favor to care for her don't dislike her
00:11:47now Mia deserves someone who truly loves her not you she's a grown woman she
00:11:54knows what she wants nobody gets to tell her what she deserves especially not you
00:12:06you can choose not to share the information but you won't be helping her your choice
00:12:16all right look if you have to know unfortunately Mia had a miscarriage
00:12:24because of an accident involving Bradley and Catherine
00:12:46how are you feeling it's none of your business not that you would know what
00:12:53that means I'm sorry for overstepping and being insensitive I learned about
00:12:59your miscarriage I had no idea you didn't know that doesn't excuse my
00:13:05behavior I apologize I may have overreacted you were hurting that's
00:13:12understandable so you're not a robot like everyone says you are of course I'm not who
00:13:18says that everyone in your family your friends your co-workers enemies I even
00:13:26heard the maids joking about it the other day fire them all no no no it's it's okay
00:13:32they're allowed to joke they've been doing a wonderful job besides I think
00:13:37you should talk like this it suits you it's not funny it's late I'm going to bed okay good night
00:13:55talk like this
00:14:07go ahead with plan short stock of Catherine's company I want to see them bleed
00:14:20Mia you need to see this the stock of Catherine's hospital has been shortened dramatically they're
00:14:35on the verge of bankruptcy just a week how is this possible seems like a
00:14:39coordinated attack someone powerful is behind this Joshua did you short Catherine's stock
00:14:53yes I did why strictly for business to protect our families alliances your
00:15:00enemies are my enemies now thank you Joshua I just did what's necessary just
00:15:05like you do now pay a little visit to Bradley and Catherine
00:15:12Bradley what are we going to do they're taking everything I can't believe this
00:15:21is happening as of now this hospital is under Gerber corporation's control yes
00:15:27the Gerber corporation as in my family's company Mia Gerber I thought you were Mia
00:15:32Whitlock Whitlock was just a name I used to conceal my identity you betrayed
00:15:37and hurt my wife now you're facing the consequences I've resigned you can't
00:15:42touch me resignation or not Bradley your career is over I've seen to it that
00:15:46everyone in this industry won't touch you after what you've done
00:15:49Mia you know that I never meant to hurt you this hospital is all that I have
00:15:56left please that day that I fell you stood there and watched you made your
00:16:04decision then Mia can we talk I know I hurt you deeply I just want to apologize
00:16:08to make things right
00:16:12Mia I'm truly sorry about everything I dreamt about you and the baby every day
00:16:30I just couldn't bring myself to tell you this after the accident because I felt
00:16:35so ashamed of myself your apology can't undo what's been done
00:16:38Bradley I know I just I need you to know that I will always care about you
00:16:45deeply
00:16:58you're really like they say tall handsome powerful
00:17:08you know I can make you a very happy man I do not engage with women who have no
00:17:20shame hands off
00:17:27Catherine manipulated me but now I realize she's nothing compared to you we
00:17:32could start over with your family's resources I could help you grow the
00:17:35business we could be parents again give us a chance you know if I wasn't a
00:17:41hundred percent sure before I am now you're a piece of human trash you're
00:17:48right I'm dirty but think about all the good memories we have think about more
00:17:52to come just let go Mia don't Bradley I'm serious don't get the fuck out of here
00:18:06I should have intervened before Bradley could talk to you it's fine
00:18:10Joshua thank you for stepping in thank you for everything
00:18:19yeah I follow through with all my business plans right yeah the business
00:18:25plan you know you call me your wife for the first time don't look into it too
00:18:32let's go actually um you know what now that all the revenge is done I think I
00:18:39want to take some time alone to figure out my feelings I understand
00:18:50they've destroyed everything we can't let them get away with this
00:18:58what if we take Mia a ransom would help us but hurt Mia yes abducting Mia Gerber
00:19:08let's see how Joshua Lane reacts then but how will we get to Mia I know that
00:19:14she always goes to this one spot alone from what I know about her she must be
00:19:20there right now
00:19:27you
00:19:57I
00:20:27thought you could get rid of us Mia you and Joshua will regret ever crossing us
00:20:42don't bring him into this you bitch
00:20:57that's for talking back to me look at you just as pathetic as the day you fell
00:21:08of course I could have saved you but why would I you and your baby are worth

00:21:29ransom I'll pay the ransom but listen to me clearly I will hunt you down and you
00:21:35wish you'd never crossed me
00:21:39well based on the footage from Mia's car camera it seems Bradley and Catherine are
00:21:48behind this these are the possible locations where Mia can be this one

00:25:54trying to help since you clearly didn't want the marriage I don't mind it though
00:26:01do you like her she's fine this means I still have a chance
00:26:09Joshua if I had stayed by your side you never would have had to marry a complete
00:26:15stranger like me and Gerber I'm sure it hasn't been pleasant now that I'm back

00:27:59there's nothing between Noah and me you and Suzy on the other hand what whatever
00:28:06you think I don't care

00:28:23what's he doing here look I'm here to deliver some documents to Mia
00:28:39and if you ever hurt her just know that I will protect her at all costs and what
00:28:44exactly have you done to protect her seems like all talk but no action what
00:28:50are you two doing
00:28:53what's going on here Joshua why are you acting so rash this is ridiculous you
00:28:57invite him into our house just to talk to him I didn't invite Joshua I'm sorry
00:29:02I didn't mean to cause any rift between you two it wasn't my intention it's fine
00:29:07why are you here I'm here to protect you and the company I suspect that Dwayne
00:29:12Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare
00:29:16is that Dwayne and the CEO of Melody Healthcare
00:29:25this plan is our game-changer what about Melody Healthcare they're our
00:29:31biggest rival they're going in a completely different direction we are
00:29:35way ahead of them and how do you know that the CEO approached me the other day
00:29:41try to get some information from me but I flipped it and got some information
00:29:44from him I got to turn my own company and be a fool to think that right of
00:29:50course Dwayne let's go ahead with the plan
00:29:54see he's fine I don't know something strange about him I can't put my finger
00:30:06on it but just keep your eyes open okay I will
00:30:13Mia suspected but I made her trust me now let's go ahead and move forward with
00:30:20the plan excellent once we execute the strategy the Gerbers will be blindsided
00:30:27Melody Healthcare will be the number one Mia Gerber will be out of the company
00:30:34and I'll be the number one
00:30:42how did they get ahead of us this was our strategy
00:30:46where's Dwayne he's outside
00:31:00Melody Healthcare just announced their new AI generated online psychiatric care
00:31:05the similarity of the details to ours is uncanny I don't know we kept everything
00:31:14under wraps they must have developed this independently Mia you're just too
00:31:20young you're not experienced enough in this business world this stuff happens
00:31:24I'm experienced enough to know that this is not a coincidence and I don't need
00:31:30you to tell me what I do and do not know you can leave
00:31:45why do you look so sullen all the time doesn't look good on you Wow thanks for
00:31:55the comfort
00:32:04miss Gerber an emergency board meeting has been called what
00:32:15we need to talk about the leadership of this company it is clear that Mia's
00:32:20recent decisions well they've been questionable
00:32:28acquiring Catherine Phoenix Hospital was big misstep now Melody's healthcare is
00:32:34outpacing us Mia I'm sorry but you're too young and inexperienced to be in
00:32:40this role I believe under my leadership our profits have already increased by 20%
00:32:46compared to last year that's due to the overall market trend not because your
00:32:52leadership my strategies have been more than effective the Finley acquisition
00:32:58has potential long-term benefits and our growth by the way it's not just a fluke
00:33:03this company this board needs a leader with experience and vision not someone
00:33:10learning on a job as a senior VP on behalf of all the employees with Gerber
00:33:15Corporation we support me I also have evidence that Wayne Kaiser has been
00:33:20conspiring Melody healthcare to undermine the company I also have
00:33:25evidence that Wayne Kaiser has been conspiring Melody healthcare to undermine
00:33:28the company what what is this what are you doing these are communications
00:33:36between Wayne and Melody healthcare he leaked our strategy you're fired Dwayne
00:33:44effective immediately I've been with you since you found the company all these
00:33:48years I'm never the CEO but you give it to your daughter I've always known you
00:33:52were ambitious but I never thought you would stoop this low your lack of
00:33:57trustworthiness is why you were never CEO we built this company on integrity
00:34:02trust values you clearly lack security escort mr. Kaiser out wait
00:34:21Mia we're so proud of you you really handled the crisis well thank you you
00:34:28truly are no I I can't thank you enough of course you know I do anything for you
00:34:38you know I never asked but how did you get your hands on those documents it all
00:34:44started with anonymous tip someone delivered photos Dwayne meeting with the
00:34:49owner of Melody healthcare and I intercepted with it this is your
00:34:55schedule for the week and what's this um seems to be about mr. Kaiser okay
00:35:01I'll take that too thanks
00:35:12anonymous who would do that I don't know but the photos led me to dig deeper and
00:35:19eventually I found clear evidence of his betrayal can I see the photos
00:35:31I think I might know who's behind this but I need to confirm
00:35:39even I need to talk to you about these photos this year in the reflection were
00:35:45you following Dwayne yeah it's me Joshua asked me to keep an eye on Dwayne
00:35:50he said his suspicions about Dwayne's loyalty for a while we then delivered
00:35:55the photos mr. Lane what a surprise
00:36:00should I tell miss Lane you're here no need to
00:36:06why couldn't Joshua just tell me about his suspicions Joshua's a he's a
00:36:13complicated man he means well but he struggles with expressing himself he's
00:36:17never gone through such steps for anyone before Mia this must mean he cares about
00:36:21you he could just talk to me next time well
00:36:26Joshua has his ways I might not show it but he cares deeply I just asked the
00:36:34don't hurt him
00:36:37your loyal friend Ethan
00:36:47Joshua I need to talk to you it's about Dwayne Kaiser and Melody
00:36:51healthcare what about it I know you sent Ethan to follow Dwayne why didn't you
00:36:57just talk to me just seemed like the best course of action at the time
00:37:00Joshua is there more to this marriage than the Alliance did you do it because
00:37:06no no it's nothing like that I just couldn't have my wife being voted out as
00:37:11CEO on paper you look bad for me so it's all about appearances yes Mia it's all

00:42:29excuse 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 soupie made me I meant the world to me
00:43:15whenever you get better I'm gonna make you that soup because I know it's your
00:43:22mom's recipe I was those little moments with you you know whenever we would wake
00:43:29up and come out of our rooms and see each other in the morning sometimes I
00:43:34was 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
00:44:12while Joshua's in a coma now even Joshua's father's been convinced so
00:44:16they're using Joshua's condition to their advantage I won't stand for it
00:44:20what's the plan I'm meeting with mr. Lane he's a key shareholder of Lane Holdings
00:44:26his voice can sway there thank you for agreeing to meet me on such short notice
00:44:32mr. Lane I've always been curious about the famous Mia Gerber after all you're
00:44:37the one who led Gerber corporation to the next level I'm merely stating a fact
00:44:42not everyone in the second generation is as capable as you so tell me why do
00:44:48you want to see me is it about Alex being the new CEO you're a wise man mr.
00:44:54Lane Joshua's vision has been the driving force behind Lane Holdings
00:45:00we cannot allow Alex to derail that I can't do anything at this time Joshua is
00:45:06out of commission it's best to have someone leave the company Gerald is not
00:45:10in good health after a stroke Alex is the only choice what if I told you
00:45:17there's another choice and what if I told you there's another choice I can be
00:45:26the interim CEO of Lane Holdings as Joshua's legal wife I can uphold his
00:45:31legacy and as you mentioned before I'm a very capable CEO in my own right your
00:45:37vote of course is crucial but more than anything people trust your judgment if
00:45:43you choose to have faith in me others will follow and I promise I won't
00:45:48disappoint can you run two companies at the same time I have a very capable team
00:45:53over at Gerber corporation they'll keep things running smoothly even if I'm not
00:45:57there full-time I'll devote my time to Lane Holdings until Joshua gets better
00:46:03what if he doesn't he will I admire your tenacity I'll do what I can
00:46:10Thank You mr. Lane
00:46:14I'll fight for you Joshua. You did the same for me. I won't let you down.
00:46:45given Joshua's current condition I propose Mia Gerber as the interim CEO
00:46:51of Lane Holdings. Mia Gerber? She's from a different company. How is she even qualified?
00:46:58Mia is Joshua's wife, the legal heir. She's proven her capabilities with Gerber
00:47:02corporation. Combining the strengths of both companies under her leadership will
00:47:07only make Lane Holdings stronger. This is absurd. Mia is practically a stranger to
00:47:13our company's operations. While I appreciate your concerns I think my
00:47:19track record speaks for itself and unlike Alex here who has had his hand in
00:47:23multiple questionable business dealings I offer a clean slate and a fresh
00:47:29perspective. I agree with mr. Lane. Mia's appointment as interim CEO is the best
00:47:35course of action for now. But dad! Stop Alex!
00:47:44Joshua I hope you're proud.
00:47:50Let's go. You think you can take over with no consequences Mia? I'm gonna make it pay.
00:47:59You won't be touching her. Who the fuck are you?
00:48:08Damn it! She's caught! Take care of her!
00:48:18See the security camera? I'm gonna get the footage and if you ever try and hurt me
00:48:23again I'll call the police. You'll never become a CEO of Lane Holdings. Ever!
00:48:28God damn it!
00:48:40Thanks.
00:48:43Noah what happened? Don't worry I'm fine. You're not fine you're bleeding.
00:48:58Are you okay?
00:49:02Thanks but the reason I came over is I wanted to finish our conversation from
00:49:07before. Mrs. Lane it's Mr. Lane he's waking up from the coma.
00:49:14I have to go to the hospital. I just want to say no no nothing's more important than Joshua right now.
00:49:24Joshua, Joshua, Joshua, fucking Joshua.
00:49:27When you wake up we can be together. Mia doesn't deserve you but you and I we're meant to be.
00:49:47Mia. Joshua you're awake.
00:49:51Mia. Excuse me miss. Mr. Lane. Mr. Lane. Mia. Can you hear me sir? Mia. Call his wife Mia Gerber
00:50:07immediately. Mr. Lane I need you to concentrate for me. Do you remember what day it is?
00:50:13Mia. Yes we're getting your wife right now sir.
00:50:22Joshua I'm sorry this is all my fault. No Mia don't blame yourself.
00:50:29It's a price I was willing to pay. You got hurt because of me. Mia listen to me.
00:50:38I'm sorry for all the pain I caused you for not being honest about my feelings.
00:50:45I was afraid to admit it even to myself I can't hide it anymore.
00:50:51I love you Mia. I never thought I'd hear you say those words.
00:50:58You should have said them sooner. I love you too Joshua.
00:51:21Noah Bellini drinking alone? What do you want Wayne? Just to talk. You are underappreciated Noah.
00:51:40Maybe we could help each other out.
00:51:42Thank you for standing up for me while I was out. I heard you managed as interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:51:49I handled things. I actually have a business meeting later today with a potential partner.
00:51:56Who's the partner? Kevin Katz. He's a key player in the industry.
00:52:03Katz? He's notorious for being handsy with business partners. I don't like the idea of you two being alone.
00:52:11I can handle Katz. I've dealt with worse. Just be careful all right? I will.
00:52:23I promise.
00:52:24All right. I gotta go. I love you.
00:52:38So our collaboration will be mutually beneficial especially when expanding into new markets.
00:52:42Absolutely Mia. I've always admired Lane Holdings. Now with you at the helm perhaps we can
00:52:49find ways to make our partnership more enjoyable.
00:52:58Mr. Katz let's keep this strictly professional.
00:53:05Oh come on Mia. Don't be such a prude. Business is more fun when there's a personal touch.
00:53:15Don't you agree?
00:53:16I will not be doing business with people who cannot respect personal boundaries.
00:53:21You'll regret this bitch. I could ruin Lane Holdings reputation.
00:53:29Now you have one last chance.
00:53:36That's for being a disgusting pig.
00:53:46Hey. How'd the meeting go?
00:53:53Let's just say Kevin Katz won't be bothering us anymore.
00:53:57What did he do? I handled it. Okay let's just focus on getting you better and back in charge.
00:54:06Can I get you some water?
00:54:17Ethan get the bodyguard and meet me downstairs. I can't explain right now just do it.
00:54:27Where's Joshua? Mr. Lane checked out. He insisted he was well enough to leave.
00:54:32No he's not fully recovered yet.
00:54:39What are you trying to do? Teach you a lesson that you can't touch Joshua Lane's woman.
00:54:47Oh you can't do this Lane. I can sue you and you'll end up in jail.
00:54:56This is you Mr. Katz doing something quite illegal. I must say your taste is really
00:55:02reprehensible. You can't sue me. It was a long time ago. If I could still release the video
00:55:10you'll lose everything. In fact just the victim's identity was protected and they'll be set for the
00:55:17rest of their life. You. If you so much as speak a word about me or me I'll make sure you wish you
00:55:26weren't born. Where were you? I was worried sick. I had to take care of something about Katz.
00:55:37I told you I handled it. I can take care of myself.
00:55:40I won't allow anyone laying their hands on you. Still it's so reckless.
00:55:47It's okay now. You handled it? Yeah. I'm flattered by the jealousy.
00:55:55I really do love you Joshua.
00:55:59I love you too Mia.
00:56:01I have a surprise for you.
00:56:13I made something for you. What's this? It's your mom's recipe.
00:56:19I found it in a cookbook in the library.
00:56:25I can't believe you made this. I thought it might bring you some comfort.
00:56:30This is exactly how she used to make it. How'd you get it so right?
00:56:45I may have had some help from the internet and about 50 practice runs.
00:56:53You're just the best.
00:56:55We have a plan that can shift the balance of power in our favor.
00:57:01Our plan didn't overthrow Mia Gerber and the Gerber Corporation but this time we will.
00:57:08I just I don't want Mia to lose everything. I promise you she won't. With the Gerber family's
00:57:14fortune Mia's set for life. She just won't be the CEO anymore. Think about this.
00:57:22With the Gerber family out of practice, Lane Holdings, they won't partner with them.
00:57:27Joshua Lane will probably divorce Mia because she's no use to him. Mia could finally be yours.
00:57:34Here's the plan. We target Gerber Corporation's medical device supplier network.
00:57:40This roughly will cause significant issues in the hospital and psychiatric care units.
00:57:45How do we proceed? Melody Healthcare has insiders inside their supply chain. We'll start by creating
00:57:53delays and quality issues. The fallout will be immediate and devastating. The resources
00:57:59stretch so thin they won't even see us coming.
00:58:06Congratulations on your recovery, Joshua. It's good to see you up and about.
00:58:17Thanks for coming and thank you for being there for me during the coma. It means a lot.
00:58:25But it didn't matter, did it? In the end, only Mia matters to you.
00:58:32Susie, you'll always matter to me. But yes, I love Mia. I'll always love you too, but as a friend.
00:58:44That's not going to be enough for me. It's time for me to live my own life.
00:58:49That's why I'm here, to say goodbye.
00:58:54What's your plan? I'm helping out my dad with our family company, Harper Medical Devices.
00:59:02That's Gerber Corporation's biggest supplier, right? Yeah.
00:59:07Susie, you wouldn't... Don't worry, Joshua. We're not going to do anything to Mia.
00:59:12I'm focusing on my own path now.
00:59:16Goodbye, Joshua.
00:59:32Why are there so many canceled contracts with Gerber Corporation?
00:59:36Hey, you haven't noticed any suppliers backing out of deals with Gerber Corporation?
00:59:45There are rumors someone's been persuading them to cut ties with the Gerbers.
00:59:52Hello? What do you mean they've stopped supplying to us?
01:00:10Noah, the suppliers are backing out for no reason.
01:00:21It's competitive marketing, Mia. Yeah, but this feels coordinated.
01:00:25Isn't that unusual? Yeah, it is. I'm gonna look into it.
01:00:30Hey, are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine. Just busy. Don't worry about me.
01:00:36Okay.
01:00:45You look like you've been through a war zone. What happened?
01:00:48It's the supplier crisis. The situation's worse than I thought.
01:00:56I don't know what to do, Joshua.
01:01:00We'll get through this together.
01:01:05Thank you all for coming. We understand your concerns,
01:01:17and we're prepared to increase profits to maintain our partnerships.
01:01:21Now, the offer looks good, but we heard some rumors of internal issues within the corporation
01:01:37company involving a higher level. Let me assure you, Gerber Corporation is as strong as ever.
01:01:44These rumors are unfounded.
01:01:56You're right. There are gaps in Noah's whereabouts.
01:01:59Keep digging, Ethan. We need concrete evidence.
01:02:06Mia, Noah might be involved with the issues at the company.
01:02:10There's no way. He's very loyal to the company.
01:02:14Although he has been acting weird lately. Have you ever considered he might have
01:02:18feelings for you? I mean, feelings make us do things.
01:02:23No. Noah's a brother to me. He's never even said anything remotely romantic.
01:02:29Actions speak louder than words. I mean, sure, he's supportive and caring,
01:02:35but that's just Noah being Noah. I really don't think there's anything more to it.
01:02:39Sometimes the people closest to us surprise us the most.
01:02:48Hey, just wanted to check in. We haven't had any time to talk lately.
01:02:52I've been good. I've just been busy dealing with the supplier crisis.
01:02:55I know, and I'm really grateful for you. You've done so much.
01:02:59I never wanted you to be burdened. I care too much about you.
01:03:02Hey, I have a question. You don't secretly have feelings for me, do you?
01:03:22What if I do?
01:03:24Oh, um, really?
01:03:28I've put this off for too long, and I need to tell you now.
01:03:35I've loved you since the first time I met you.
01:03:40I still remember that day like it was yesterday.
01:03:43We were just starting college and came to visit the office during summer break.
01:03:48We're up, blue dress, and you look like a princess.
01:03:52I was just starting off the company, and I come from a humble background, so
01:03:58I never thought I could be with someone like you.
01:04:01Not anymore.
01:04:04I'm stronger. I'm more capable now, and I know we should be together, Mia.
01:04:12Noah, I've really only ever seen you as a friend.
01:04:23It's because Joshua's done things for you. I've done more.
01:04:27No, I love him, okay? We understand each other.
01:04:33Because you're both born with silver spoons in your mouth, and I wasn't?
01:04:36You know it's not that. I just, I have a really strong feeling about him.
01:04:42I'm just not for you.
01:04:47Noah, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lead you on, and it wasn't my intention to hurt you.
01:04:55It's okay.
01:04:58I understand.
01:05:01Just needed to hear it from you.
01:05:03I know.
01:05:08Dwayne, double down on the plan. There's no going back now.
01:05:15There's no going back now.
01:05:23Noah, what brings you here?
01:05:27I think it's time for your company to reconsider its partnership with Gerber.
01:05:30I'm not sure what you're implying.
01:05:32It's simple. Harper Medical Devices is the biggest supplier for Gerber Corporation.
01:05:38If you cut ties with Gerber, it'll deal a critical blow to them.
01:05:42So, you're the one behind the scheme.
01:05:49Why would I go along with it?
01:05:51The question is, why wouldn't you? You and I are alike, Susie.
01:05:56I don't always love people who don't love us back.
01:05:59I've already let it go.
01:06:01Why let it go when you still have a chance?
01:06:04If me and the Gerber family are out of the company,
01:06:06the Lean family won the business alliance, Joshua and Mia will get divorced.
01:06:12You and I can finally be with them.
01:06:18Join me. Together we can make sure we aren't ignored anymore.
01:06:26So, Mia, we've heard Smarter Suppliers are terminating contracts.
01:06:31Trust me, we have the situation under control.
01:06:33That's not what I heard. The rumor is Harper Medical Devices is pulling out.
01:06:38How do you explain this?
01:06:40I assure you we're addressing the concerns,
01:06:42but our relationship with our suppliers has never been stronger.
01:06:45As one of the largest shareholders, I have complete faith in Mia's leadership.
01:06:50These rumors are just that, rumors.
01:06:59The rumor was right. Harper Medical Devices decided to terminate the contract with us.
01:07:04But there's still hope.
01:07:06I've convinced Harper to continue their partnership with us.
01:07:10But only if I become the new CEO.
01:07:14It's time for a change in leadership.
01:07:16Someone who can steer this company in the right direction.
01:07:19So I've brought Susie Harper with me, the acting CEO of Harper Medical Devices.
01:07:26Susie will tell you all that she would like Mia Gerber to resign.
01:07:33Actually, I think there's been a misunderstanding.
01:07:36Harper Medical Devices never intended to terminate our contracts with Gerber Corporation.
01:07:42Any rumor suggesting otherwise is false.
01:07:46Furthermore, I believe in Mia's leadership and the direction that she's taking this company.
01:07:53Thank you, Susie. I owe you a big one.
01:07:56You don't owe me anything.
01:07:58I just want Joshua and the person he loves to be happy.
01:08:01Promise me you'll never hurt him.
01:08:10And I have evidence that Noah Belani has been conspiring with former
01:08:14ousted executive Dwayne Kaiser to sabotage the company.
01:08:20Mr. Belani, your actions have endangered the company and everybody in it.
01:08:26You're therefore terminated immediately.
01:08:31It's quite the view.
01:08:54I thought a lot about what happened, and I wanted to say sorry.
01:09:00I should have been clearer.
01:09:02I didn't mean to lead you on.
01:09:05I was lost, Mia.
01:09:08My actions, my obsession.
01:09:12I'm sorry for everything.
01:09:17We both made mistakes.
01:09:19I'm sorry for everything.
01:09:20We both made mistakes.
01:09:23I'm just glad we can put it all behind us.
01:09:28You were a good friend, Noah.
01:09:30You were more than a friend to me, Mia.
01:09:33I've learned to let go.
01:09:38I just want you to be happy.
01:09:43I am.
01:09:45I hope you find your happiness, too.
01:09:51Take care, Noah.
01:09:55Me, too.
01:10:13We are gathered here today to witness the reaffirmation
01:10:17of vows between Mia and Joshua Lane.
01:10:24Joshua, our marriage was out of necessity.
01:10:27But you've become my partner, my rock, my best friend.
01:10:34Mia, you've given me the gift of a real family.
01:10:36I will vow to cherish and love you forever.
01:10:40This is just the beginning of our forever.
01:10:46I love you.
