00:00:00What the hell is going on here?
00:00:03What are you doing? You can't do this, you're just a cleaner.
00:00:06What I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:00:12I'm divorced with Bruce. Sign it.
00:00:14I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:00:18Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:00:21I won't sign.
00:00:22A million dollars. Take this.
00:00:26Shame on you!
00:00:27You, we are the Harrisons. You can't just walk in here and take her. Just get out!
00:00:36Because we deserve everything you're from the world.
00:00:39Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:00:45No, listen, crap, that's enough.
00:00:47I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:00:49Now it's my turn. To protect you.
00:00:53Well, you certainly do have your ways.
00:00:57What is going on?
00:00:58Are you out of your mind?
00:00:59I'm out of my mind. Give it to me!
00:01:02She has not survived.
00:01:08Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
00:01:10Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:01:23What the hell is going on here?
00:01:26Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:01:29Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do?
00:01:33Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:01:37They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:01:41Sir, what are our next steps?
00:01:48Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunchtime.
00:01:53Hey, this is a private space.
00:01:59Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on to cleaning for just a couple minutes?
00:02:02Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.
00:02:10But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
00:02:18Do I know you?
00:02:22Wait, what are you doing?
00:02:24What are you doing?
00:02:25You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.
00:02:27You can't be messing with our company funds.
00:02:30This is incredible!
00:02:32What's going on?
00:02:34This running attempt, it's failing!
00:02:37The price is holding!
00:02:39Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:02:45We met before.
00:02:48They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:02:49Hold on.
00:02:50Tell me, how could I ever repay you for this?
00:02:54If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:03:08Jason, can we have five now?
00:03:18Mr. Yates?
00:03:23What, only two bodyguards this time?
00:03:26You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:03:28No, ma'am. I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:03:32Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Laws Group.
00:03:37Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:03:41Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:03:47Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:03:52Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:03:57Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:04:02Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house for my sake.
00:04:18Divorce papers, sign it.
00:04:20Why?
00:04:26If you are not worthy of my son anymore, the Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now,
00:04:32especially since it's landed a $100 million contract with the Shepherd Group.
00:04:37And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:04:40The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time. I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:04:46I secured that $100 million contract.
00:04:50Are you? A cleaning woman? Handing out million dollar deals? Don't make me laugh.
00:04:59I did! It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:05:03I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:05:08What are you doing here?
00:05:09Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family. Amber's family is practically
00:05:15local royalty. Local royalty. A small town rich person is royalty.
00:05:21And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:05:24Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it, Ben?
00:05:32What's going on? Is this why you want a divorce? Because of her?
00:05:37Oh please. I've spent years building Harrison Group. You're still a cleaner.
00:05:42We just grew apart, that's all.
00:05:44We've grown apart? No. No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:05:54I won't sign anything. Huh. Money is a motivator, isn't it? Ben.
00:06:01All right. Here, $100,000. Open up a small shop or something.
00:06:07Not saying that. $100,000. I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:06:15Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:06:18Don't be ridiculous. You've never done anything for Ben's success. This is our active charity journey.
00:06:25Here. A million dollars. Take this. You just want our money, don't you? Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:06:33I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this. Since none of you respect me.
00:06:43A cleaning lady threatening us? I'm so scared. Just leave. You already make this house stink.
00:06:52Make up. She's gone. Go to the written store.
00:07:04Sir? Laura Lewis's information.
00:07:11She's Ben Harrison's wife. No wonder why she wanted to partner with them.
00:07:15Actually, sir. Ben Harrison just divorced her. Divorced her? Wait a minute. Don't you remember?
00:07:25She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago. Yeah. She saved our
00:07:31hiding there. Remember? Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a $100 million contract?
00:07:37I don't know. Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:07:43Hey! What are you doing? Let go of me! You attacked Amber. Apologize this instant.
00:07:54Stealing from the Harrisons. We gave you a generous divorce settlement. You refused it.
00:07:59And now you're stealing. She couldn't afford it. You're a thief.
00:08:03That's mine! Give him back! Wait! Wait! Wait!
00:08:12Shut up!
00:08:15Laura?
00:08:16I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:08:19It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce. You see, it's...
00:08:26Who are you, Boris New Squeeze? Excuse me. Do you know who I am?
00:08:32Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son? Shame on you!
00:08:37Mr. Shepard, I...
00:08:38For your information, my name is Brian Shepard. I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:08:44Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:08:48You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:08:51That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:08:56That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that. My ring.
00:09:01Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:09:02Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:09:07Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.
00:09:09Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?
00:09:14It's all right, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:09:17Of rabbed dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on.
00:09:22We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:09:26Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. Now go back.
00:09:30What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie.
00:09:34Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura. You come back here and explain yourself.
00:09:37Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.
00:09:40Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:09:47Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:09:51I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:09:55After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:09:58No, um, no. The event will proceed. Besides, I'll be there.
00:10:09There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura. Who are you, truly?
00:10:14You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.
00:10:18Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:10:20Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners and we're going to have
00:10:31a meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today. Make sure everyone is there.
00:10:41Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:10:47Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis. I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:10:51Ben Harrison, you're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:11:04After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:11:09Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:11:13Laura, what are you doing here?
00:11:15Security? Get that woman out of here. We don't need cleaners at this event.
00:11:19Why wouldn't I be here? This is a business event, after all.
00:11:24Business? You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:11:28A fancy dress doesn't make you have society, honey. Just get out.
00:11:32Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:11:35You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:11:37Oh, Ben, do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:11:42Oh, Lord, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?
00:11:46You don't belong here. Just get out!
00:11:49That's what you get.
00:12:01This contract is mine. To give or take away as I see fit.
00:12:07Don't be ridiculous. This is insane. Who do you think you are?
00:12:11Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.
00:12:14Security? She's lost a mind. This is a disaster.
00:12:18Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you.
00:12:23But since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:12:46Laura?
00:12:46I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:12:50It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce. You see, it's...
00:12:58Who are you, Laura's new squeeze?
00:13:01Excuse me. Do you know who I am?
00:13:03Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son? Shame on you!
00:13:08Mr. Shepard, I...
00:13:09For your information, my name is Brian Shepard. I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:13:15Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.

00:13:32Jason, give it back to Miss Lewis.
00:13:33Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:13:38Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.
00:13:41Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?
00:13:45It's all right, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:13:48All rabbed dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on.
00:13:53We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:13:57Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. Now go back.
00:14:01What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie!
00:14:05Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura. You come back here and explain yourself.
00:14:08Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.
00:14:13Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?

00:15:55Business? You wouldn't know business if it hit you on the head.
00:16:00A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey. Just get out.
00:16:03Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:16:07You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:16:08Oh, Ben, do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:16:13Oh, Laura, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?
00:16:18You don't belong here. Just get out!

00:16:38Don't be ridiculous. This is insane. Who do you think you are?
00:16:42Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.
00:16:45Security! She's lost a mind! This is a disaster!
00:16:49Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,
00:16:54but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:16:57You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:17:13You're so silly, Laura.
00:17:18You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:17:23You really think ripping up that contract is going to help? You're so silly, Laura.
00:17:27Oh, please, honey. You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:17:31Security! Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:17:34I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:17:38And after careful consideration,
00:17:42I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:17:45You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:17:51You have no authority here.
00:17:52Of course she has the authority.
00:18:01That's the man that Laura went with the other day. What is he doing here?
00:18:04Mr. Shepard? How does he know her?
00:18:06Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:18:08Laura, are you alright?
00:18:12Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.
00:18:15There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:18:17There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:20This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.
00:18:24Effective immediately.
00:18:28Wait a minute. This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:18:31It's her. She ruined the contract.
00:18:33You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:18:35An affair? She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:18:41Mom, please, it's okay. This man is-
00:18:43Don't touch me!
00:18:45That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair, and you just stand there?
00:18:50You're a disgrace. An adulterer. You deserve to be arrested.
00:18:53Shut up!
00:18:56Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:19:02Tricked? Why don't you answer a question yourself, then?
00:19:08What was my name before we got married?
00:19:11Laura Lewis, right?
00:19:13The Lewis Group? The Financial Giants?
00:19:17There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:19:22That's crazy. There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name. That's absurd.
00:19:27It's- it's- it's absurd! A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood!
00:19:35Yeah, yeah, it's a lie. It's a lie. This woman was a waitress when I met her. In fact,
00:19:39I saved her from a robbery three years ago. She's nothing special. She only married me out of gratitude.
00:19:46I was just a waitress. How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:19:51First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.
00:19:55Okay, listen up, everybody. When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:20:00Now look at me. I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts. And look at her. Still just a cleaner.
00:20:06Mr. Shepherd, that woman is my son's ex-wife. She's doing all this out of spite.
00:20:12She's lying, Mr. Shepherd. She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:20:19Let's make something clear. I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:20:26I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:20:32Don't lie. You were never good enough for Ben when you married him. Oops.
00:20:37That roof was built with lies. Kathy, you never respected me. And Ben,
00:20:44dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own. And the cheating.
00:20:50I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:20:53You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:20:57If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy. Consider this my resignation from
00:21:06the Harrisons. From everything.
00:21:13Wait, wait, wait, wait. Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:21:16And then just walk out like nothing happened? I don't think so. You're a cleaner. You're a cleaner that
00:21:21cleans toilets. Nobody cares about you. Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:21:30I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
00:21:38Now, I think there's been some sort of misunderstanding. I think all jobs are important. Right, Mom?
00:21:43Ben, what are you doing? But I don't think that a, a janitor should have some sort of influence over
00:21:48a deal as big as this. A janitor. Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that
00:21:57collaboration with Shepard? You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:22:05Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie. This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:22:12I, but, well... A lie, you say? Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for
00:22:19Harrison Group, but I don't recognize you. Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:22:26Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions. This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:22:33But the contract, I mean, Laura tore it up. So can't we just print another one and get this signing
00:22:40ceremony underway? Reprinted, Mr. Harrison. Perhaps you haven't been paying attention.
00:22:46Without Miss Lewis' involvement, I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:22:55Today, I want to make it clear. Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:23:02Miss Smith, you lied to us. You destroyed everything. What? No, it's a misunderstanding. I can explain.
00:23:13Lewis? Lewis Family Group? This can't be. Believe what you want, Ben.
00:23:20Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week. Three of our vice presidents
00:23:27will be here in Maplewood, and I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:23:36Everyone, listen to me. Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison. A man who can keep his
00:23:44vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract. The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:23:52Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:23:57Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:24:05Someone get a doctor. Help!
00:24:08Mom! Someone get a doctor!
00:24:10Mom! It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:24:15Oh, indeed. Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:24:31What? What now?
00:24:33Mom, this is not all on me.
00:24:35Not on you! I was trying to help!
00:24:38Nope. She cheated on you with Shepard. Flaunted their affair.
00:24:43Exactly. And those dresses? Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:24:49Miss Smith, how could you do this? We trusted you completely.
00:24:53What? No, no. I got Ben the deal. I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.
00:25:00She's a liar.
00:25:02Oh, stop it, Amber. You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:25:06Lied? You're on my side.
00:25:09And anyways, I have a plan. The Shepards are no one's special.
00:25:13We can expose Laura and all her lies. Go national.
00:25:17We can make ourselves a household name.
00:25:21Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to make.
00:25:29Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard. Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:25:35It's alright, Laura. You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:25:39Can I ask you something? Do you have any place to stay tonight? Maybe a hotel?
00:25:43Don't... Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard. I'll be fine.
00:25:47Um... Excuse me, you can just drop me off.
00:25:49Actually, Laura. Actually, Laura. There is something else.
00:25:54Would you consider going out for dinner sometime? Just casually, of course.
00:25:58Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:26:01Please, call me Brian.
00:26:05And yes, technically, you're single now.
00:26:10Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:26:21Proper?
00:26:22Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:26:26Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:26:31Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:26:34So what do you say?
00:26:36Dinner?
00:26:38Just two people getting to know each other.
00:26:44I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard. I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't...
00:26:50Wait, Laura...
00:26:50Just here is fine.
00:26:54Laura?
00:26:55Laura, who is it?
00:27:02Laura, wait!
00:27:04Jason, find out who owns that car.
00:27:08And do it fast.
00:27:15Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:27:18It's Amber Smith.
00:27:19Mr. Lewis?
00:27:20I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:27:26I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.
00:27:29How did you get this number?
00:27:31Don't worry about that right now.
00:27:33I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:27:36Someone I know very well.
00:27:39Impersonating my niece?
00:27:40And where is this fake Laura?
00:27:41And where is this fake Laura?
00:27:44Right here in Maplewood.
00:27:46And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:27:50Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:27:54And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:27:58In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:28:04I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:28:06All will be revealed then.
00:28:08Very well.
00:28:09I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.
00:28:12But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:28:15It won't be.
00:28:16Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:28:18Thank you, Mr.
00:28:19That little rascal, Laura.
00:28:29I wonder what she's up to now.
00:28:34That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubler.
00:28:39Oh.
00:28:40Lewis family?
00:28:42That's interesting.
00:28:43Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:28:48I'm not sure.
00:28:50Brian!
00:28:51There you are.
00:28:53I've missed you.
00:28:54Chloe.
00:28:56What are you up to?
00:28:57Chloe.
00:28:58What are you doing here?
00:29:00What do you mean?
00:29:01Can't I visit the man I love?
00:29:03We ended things for a reason.
00:29:05It was just one teensy mistake.
00:29:08I was...
00:29:08I was a little bit tipsy.
00:29:10Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:29:12It's a mistake you said.
00:29:14You cheated on me.
00:29:19Is this your new fling?
00:29:22Ex-divorcey.
00:29:24Used to clean floors.
00:29:25Quite the catch.
00:29:26What are you saying?
00:29:27Look.
00:29:28My relationship with her is none of your business.
00:29:32And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:29:35Please.
00:29:35An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:29:41It's a classic story.
00:29:42That's enough.
00:29:43I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:29:45You want to be careful, Brian.
00:29:47Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:29:51If you want Shepard Group to stay afloat,
00:29:54you ought to be more careful.
00:29:55Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:30:07This is it.
00:30:08The Lewis Group vice presidents are on the top floor.
00:30:11Once I'm done speaking with them,
00:30:13I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:30:16I'll go speak with them first,
00:30:17and then I'll introduce you.
00:30:20Well, well, well.
00:30:21Look who it is.
00:30:23What a surprise.
00:30:24Did Brian teach you already?
00:30:27That's none of your business.
00:30:30Now, move aside, please.
00:30:31Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
00:30:35You really think you can just ruin my events again?
00:30:37Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:30:38Don't you have any shame?
00:30:39If you'll excuse me,
00:30:41I have an important meeting to get to.
00:30:43Oh, the nerve.
00:30:45After everything you've done,
00:30:46you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?
00:30:50Seriously?
00:30:51I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:30:56Oh, that's gold.
00:30:57You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?
00:30:59Please, you're no one compared to me.
00:31:02You don't deserve to be here.
00:31:04The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:31:09And you, idiot.
00:31:11Believing every lie that she tells you.
00:31:12Wake up, Ben.
00:31:14Oh, Laura.
00:31:16Laura, come on.
00:31:17Why do you always pull this on me?
00:31:19I mean, seriously,
00:31:20can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:31:23I know what this is.
00:31:25So stupid.
00:31:27Oh, shut your trap.
00:31:29Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:31:31He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:31:34Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.
00:31:38And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:31:42Well, before you all start celebrating,
00:31:46why don't you take a look at this?
00:31:51Oh, that's rich.
00:31:53You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.
00:31:56I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.
00:32:00Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?
00:32:03You mean my uncle?
00:32:06Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:32:07Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:32:13And besides, this looks fake.
00:32:16She's a liar.
00:32:18This is a personal invitation for Mr. Yates himself.
00:32:23It grants me access to the VIP elevator,
00:32:25which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.
00:32:28She's lying.
00:32:29They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:32:35Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?
00:32:39Not that I know of.
00:32:41See?
00:32:41She's lying.
00:32:43There you have it, Laura.
00:32:44Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:32:46Go on, get lost before things get worse.
00:32:51Here, take this one.
00:32:53Lead me to the vice president's.
00:32:55You have no idea what you just did.
00:33:00There be consequences.
00:33:04Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,
00:33:10why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?
00:33:15Security, security, we need this woman removed immediately.
00:33:17She is harassing me.
00:33:18We're done with your games, Laura.
00:33:20You're just a fraud.
00:33:21Ma'am, please remove me.
00:33:22What?
00:33:23Hold on.
00:33:25Brian Shepard?
00:33:28You think money buys you the right to walk all over people?
00:33:31Well, it doesn't.
00:33:32Yeah.
00:33:33Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?
00:33:36What other plans do you have to destroy this time?
00:33:38Get you out?
00:33:39After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.
00:33:42Don't play dumb.
00:33:44We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:33:46How long has this little affair been going on?
00:33:48You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.
00:33:51Hold on a second.
00:33:53An affair?
00:33:53You think Laura and I?
00:33:57You people are unbelievable.
00:34:01Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP.
00:34:04We have a situation.
00:34:06What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?
00:34:08Is that it?
00:34:09Well, stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:34:11Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.
00:34:13How can I help you this evening?
00:34:15Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.
00:34:18It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:34:21These people don't think that I belong here.
00:34:25Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.
00:34:28A cleaner?
00:34:28Nonsense.
00:34:29I personally agreed to Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:34:34Exactly.
00:34:36Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:34:43I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:34:46No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.
00:34:51She's been this way since my son divorced her.
00:34:53She's insane.
00:34:54Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.
00:34:58She helped secure a profitable investment for Sheppard Group.
00:35:02No, it's a lie.
00:35:05Mr. Sheppard, she's tricking you too.
00:35:09You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.
00:35:16Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?
00:35:19Wait, is that why you're covering for her?
00:35:21Because of the affair?
00:35:22Because she slept with you?
00:35:24Excuse me.
00:35:24I'll cough.
00:35:25Who are you and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:35:28Enough of this.
00:35:28She's right.
00:35:29That's enough.
00:35:30Have you here embarrass yourself enough?
00:35:31This is Lewis Group property.
00:35:34Behave or I'll call security.
00:35:35But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access.
00:35:39She shouldn't be here.
00:35:41Since you're having trouble understanding, Ben, let me make it clear.
00:35:45This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.
00:35:49It's mine to come or go as I please.
00:35:53Thank you for stepping in, Brian.
00:35:59I owe you one.
00:36:02We'll talk about this later.
00:36:04Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harrison.
00:36:08I think so.
00:36:13Come in.
00:36:18Excuse me, Vice Presidents.
00:36:21I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.
00:36:24I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today.
00:36:28Maplewood Branch.
00:36:30Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Miss Smith.
00:36:35Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:36:39Ian Lewis...
00:36:40Mr. Lewis reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:36:47Oh!
00:36:48Expansion plans?
00:36:50Miss Smith?
00:36:51A decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:36:54And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.
00:36:59But Ian Lewis assured me that...
00:37:03Miss Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.
00:37:06Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.
00:37:09Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...
00:37:12Miss Smith, we'd like you to leave.
00:37:13If you don't, we'll call security.
00:37:20Hey, stop there.
00:37:22This elevator is a VIP only.
00:37:25Back, please.
00:37:26Of course.
00:37:27My apologies.
00:37:34Laura?
00:37:37Vice Presidents!
00:37:38It's so good to see all of you again.
00:37:41Miss Lewis.
00:37:42It's been too long.
00:37:44Your return is a lifesaver, Miss Lewis.
00:37:47The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:37:53The board are begging you to come back, Miss Lewis.
00:37:58Well, please sit.
00:38:00Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.
00:38:04We've got a meeting planned.
00:38:06A big one.
00:38:08In just a few days.
00:38:09It's local powerhouses and smaller players, too.
00:38:14They'll all be there in one spot.
00:38:16Miss Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.
00:38:20She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.
00:38:27She said that, did she?
00:38:29Well, Miss Smith is a liar.
00:38:31There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:38:34She lied so blatantly.
00:38:36It was, it's unbelievable.
00:38:38Well, don't worry.
00:38:38I found a much more suitable partner.
00:38:44Shepherd Group.
00:38:45Shepherd Group.
00:38:46Their rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:38:50Do you have anything to do with that?
00:38:52So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:38:57Oh, don't worry about Amber.
00:39:01I've got plans for her.
00:39:03Miss Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the meeting from us.
00:39:14Cheers.
00:39:15Cheers.
00:39:24You too.
00:39:25Go.
00:39:25No, I'm not leaving.
00:39:26What are you talking about?
00:39:27No, come on.
00:39:28Wait!
00:39:28I'm Amber Smith.
00:39:30I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch.
00:39:32What are you doing?
00:39:32These are my guests.
00:39:33Yeah, that's right.
00:39:34Tell them who we are.
00:39:35Yes, we were waiting for Miss Smith.
00:39:38Lewis Group, Maplewood branch.
00:39:40No such thing, ma'am.
00:39:41And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:39:44Of course.
00:39:46Laura!
00:39:47She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.
00:39:49That's how she gets away with everything.
00:39:51You underestimate her, Kathy.
00:39:53She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.
00:39:56No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:39:59Careful with your words.
00:40:01Both of you.
00:40:02Accusations like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:40:05Look who can't even get into a meeting.
00:40:09Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.
00:40:13And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:40:16Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:40:19Used me?
00:40:20Unlike some people.
00:40:22I don't mind being helpful.
00:40:23You're so stupid.
00:40:25She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:40:28Don't worry, Brian.
00:40:29You deserve better.
00:40:31And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:40:35Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:40:39New branch manager, huh?
00:40:42Interesting.
00:40:43Laura Lewis?
00:40:44What are you doing here?
00:40:46Get out of here!
00:40:47You claim to be the mystery guest.
00:40:50Don't play games, Laura.
00:40:51I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:40:56Only the top companies get those.
00:40:59Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:41:00Is that so?
00:41:02Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:41:07You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.
00:41:13And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:41:17Escort them out.
00:41:19What?
00:41:19Their visit is over.
00:41:21Oh, come on.
00:41:21This way, please.
00:41:23I'm not leaving.
00:41:25Move.
00:41:26We're not leaving again.
00:41:27Move.
00:41:27Oh, no, no, no.
00:41:28We're not going now.
00:41:29Okay, fine, fine.
00:41:30No, this isn't over, Laura.
00:41:32You'll see.
00:41:35Thanks for waiting, Ren.
00:41:38Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:41:42And thank you for defending me.
00:41:46I really appreciate it.
00:41:50Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:41:54Yes, but it's going to be tricky.
00:41:57Laura, I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:42:06Yes.
00:42:08Laura, there's something you should know.
00:42:12Is this about Ben?
00:42:15Ben, because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.
00:42:19He won't even get past security.
00:42:22Laura, it's not Ben.
00:42:25It's someone else.
00:42:28Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:42:30Yes.
00:42:31Yes.
00:42:33Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:42:38She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:42:42She's my ex-fiancé.
00:42:43And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:42:51And let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:42:57And for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.
00:43:01And you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting for, out of jealousy?
00:43:16There's a possibility.
00:43:18She's kind of jealous.
00:43:20Well, all the more reason for you to be there.
00:43:25Besides, I'll be there too.
00:43:30Laura.
00:43:30Would you consider being my guest at the meeting?
00:43:36What?
00:43:38Are you worried that this Chloe's going to cause problems for me too?
00:43:41Maybe a little.
00:43:43But mostly, I want to show them we're a team.
00:43:47Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.
00:43:52Laura.
00:43:57I don't care about your past.
00:43:59I just want to be by your side.
00:44:02I think I'm falling for you.
00:44:08Brian.
00:44:08I appreciate your honesty.
00:44:16And right now, I'm just not, I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:44:24Just with everything going on and going on.
00:44:28I just want to be upfront.
00:44:31And if Chloe tries anything, you won't face her alone.
00:44:40There's just one thing I do need.
00:44:44What is it?
00:44:45A formal dress.
00:44:48A formal dress.
00:45:00Security!
00:45:01She doesn't belong here.
00:45:02This is a private store.
00:45:04Excuse me, we need some assistance.
00:45:07I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:45:13Wow, it's beautiful.
00:45:16It is.
00:45:17I'll try this one on.
00:45:18Don't bother with her.
00:45:19She can't afford anything here.
00:45:21She's just a cleaner.
00:45:22She doesn't deserve to shop here.
00:45:24She has no money.
00:45:27Yeah, exactly.
00:45:28I mean, what are you doing here?
00:45:29Can't you just leave me alone?
00:45:31I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared.
00:45:34I'm here for retail therapy.
00:45:37Oh, please.
00:45:38This store is for the A-list only.
00:45:40Not some cheapskate like you.
00:45:42Says the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:45:44Hey, show some respect.
00:45:46Oh, wow.
00:45:47Typical Laura.
00:45:49Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.
00:45:52I would have asked you, but without me, I'm sure you're already broke.
00:45:56Oh, please.
00:45:57Come on, we'll take the dress.
00:45:58Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:46:02What do you mean you don't sell it?
00:46:04I want it.
00:46:05Name your price.
00:46:06It's not about the price, ma'am.
00:46:08This one was custom made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress.
00:46:12The entire brand belongs to her.
00:46:13This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.
00:46:18It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:46:20What are you talking about?
00:46:22Of course it would suit her.
00:46:22It'd fit her just fine.
00:46:24And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:46:28Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.
00:46:35Oh, please.
00:46:36Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?
00:46:39We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:46:41Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.
00:46:44You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:46:47Could you please tell me more about this dress?
00:46:49Of course.
00:46:51It was custom made for Laura Lewis, heiress to the Lewis Group fortune,
00:46:56hand-stitched in Italy, naturally, and apparently there are many more like it,
00:47:00displayed in high-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.
00:47:06Laura, do you like this dress?
00:47:09Of course.
00:47:10It's custom made for me.
00:47:13I'm just here to take what's already mine.
00:47:16Oh, you can't be serious.
00:47:17There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.
00:47:20Fine, fine.
00:47:21If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?
00:47:25It would look incredible on me.
00:47:27Miss, this dress is very delicate.
00:47:30If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:47:35Are you calling me fat?
00:47:36Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand?
00:47:41How's that sound?
00:47:42Sir, are you serious?
00:47:44You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:47:47This brand is worth at least 50 million dollars.
00:47:50And to buy it for a waitress?
00:47:53Are you out of your mind?
00:47:55Yes.
00:47:56You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:47:58Just one second.
00:48:02Yes, this is Brian Shepherd.
00:48:05CEO of Shepherd Group.
00:48:06I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:48:09I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.
00:48:15What?
00:48:17Sorry, sir.
00:48:18That brand is not for sale.
00:48:21You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.
00:48:27Mr. Yates, yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:48:30I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepherd Group.
00:48:37Oh, come on.
00:48:39Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:48:42Exactly.
00:48:43Come on, this is pathetic.
00:48:44You really think this is going to work?
00:48:45It's sad.
00:48:46Excellent.
00:48:46Thank you, Mr. Yates, that's all.
00:48:56Yes?
00:49:01What?
00:49:01Are you willing to sell me the brand?
00:49:04Awesome.
00:49:12Hello?
00:49:13Yes?
00:49:15Wow.
00:49:15Yes, of course.
00:49:17Absolutely.
00:49:21The store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepherd.
00:49:26The Shepherd Group is the new owner.
00:49:28How may I be of service today, sir?
00:49:31Well, Laura, I don't know much about fashion.
00:49:34So I would like to give this brand to you.
00:49:37You can't be serious.
00:49:39You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:49:41Don't listen to her, Brian.
00:49:44You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.
00:49:47You're not welcome here.
00:49:49I want the two of these out of my store.
00:49:55I want the two of these out of my store.
00:49:57Of course.
00:50:00Oh, come on.
00:50:01Sir, ma'am, are you afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:50:03Well, we're not leaving, okay?
00:50:05Hey, hey, hey.
00:50:06What?
00:50:07This isn't over, Laura.
00:50:08Could I try the dress on now?
00:50:10Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:50:12You just follow me.
00:50:17Wow.
00:50:21Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.
00:50:27Laura, you look breathtaking in this dress.
00:50:31Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:50:37All right.
00:50:41Because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.
00:50:43And that includes this dress.
00:50:50Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:50:54I need a moment.
00:50:57Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:51:01Does that mean you could be a yes?
00:51:06Maybe.
00:51:12Hi.
00:51:20Hi.
00:51:20Well, well, well, well.
00:51:27Look who decided to join the party.
00:51:29Playing dress up again, Laura.
00:51:30One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:51:34And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:51:36You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone for this.
00:51:40This gold digger.
00:51:41You know, Ben, I really cared about you.
00:51:44Even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:51:48I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:51:51Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:51:57Enough.
00:51:58I've had enough of this drama.
00:52:00Yeah, me too.
00:52:01Try that again and you'll regret it.
00:52:05I'll get the hell out of my face.
00:52:07Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:52:09Yeah.
00:52:12I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:52:15What?
00:52:16That's impossible.
00:52:17I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:52:22Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group,
00:52:25the name is on the list.
00:52:26What?
00:52:27Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.
00:52:31You don't have an invitation.
00:52:32You're just here because of Brian.
00:52:38Let me see this.
00:52:39This doesn't even look real.
00:52:40It's different from mine.
00:52:42Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:52:46This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:52:51Please, right this way.
00:52:53We can continue this discussion later.
00:52:55If you manage to get in.
00:52:57I'll be here.
00:53:05I'll be here.
00:53:06I'll be here.
00:53:07I'll be here.
00:53:09There you are! How dare you steal my fiancée!
00:53:14Looks like another relationship bites the dust, Laura.
00:53:18Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours.
00:53:21Get away from him! He's engaged to me!
00:53:24Hey, hey, hey. Hold your horses, Glenn. That ended a long time ago.
00:53:28Engaged to you. Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:53:33Your relationship's history. That was just a little tiff.
00:53:38You really think that could tear us apart?
00:53:41Don't you know who I am?
00:53:44Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:53:46Oh, honey. She don't recognise royalty, let alone a duke.
00:53:50She's just a maid, remember?
00:53:52I don't have time for all this drama.
00:53:55Brian? Let's head inside.
00:53:59Brian! How could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:54:04Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:54:07There's nothing left to say, Gloria. Don't make this a scene. Shall we?
00:54:17You okay, Miss Duke?
00:54:19And you are?
00:54:21Amber Smith. I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:54:25What branch? I've never heard of it. What do you want from me?
00:54:28That Laura. She tore up my invitation. Do you think you can get me inside?
00:54:33What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:54:37Please don't waste my time.
00:54:40I'll put it in the door.
00:54:41There's no room and the other ones to find out.
00:54:42I can't do other things.
00:54:43And I can't do that.
00:54:44I can't do it.
00:54:45I can't do it.
00:54:46I can't do it.
00:54:47I have a walk around.
00:54:48Oh, look.
00:54:49I have a walk around.
00:54:50You're getting there.
00:54:51You're getting there.
00:54:52You're taking a walk around.
00:54:53I'm getting there.
00:54:54I have a walk around.
00:54:55I'm so sorry.
00:55:04If I can't have Brian, neither can you. The Duke family has more influence than
00:55:16you think. Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you. Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:55:23Good. I need your help with something. What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.
00:55:30It's Brian. Who's that woman? I thought you were...
00:55:35She's a con woman. She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:55:39What? Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:55:45Well, she's pretending to be Lewis to get close to him.
00:55:49What are you planning? I want to destroy Shepherd Group.
00:55:54Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe. I had no idea she would be so... intense.
00:56:07What do you mean? You so should have taken her up on her offer. I mean, you guys are just...
00:56:16Power couple.
00:56:17I see what you're doing. Power couple, you say. More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:56:28Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:56:29Actually, Brian, my seat is... it's up there.
00:56:35Really?
00:56:37She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:56:39Excuse me.
00:56:40This is my VIP invitation. I can sit wherever I like.
00:56:47Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:56:49This is signed by all three VPs of Lewis Group.
00:56:52Where did you get this? Who did you have to sleep with?
00:56:56That's enough.
00:56:59This is getting us nowhere. Laura is my guest and I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:57:08Got it?
00:57:09Mr. Shepherd, what do you see in that woman?
00:57:13Miss Duke is a perfect match for you. She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.
00:57:20What more could you ask for?
00:57:22That's a good question. Not much, actually.
00:57:27Honesty. That's what I want. And love. Things that clearly, Chloe has no idea.
00:57:35I said I was sorry. What more do you want?
00:57:40I've watched Chloe grow up. She's like a daughter to me.
00:57:44I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:57:50One more chance, Brian. Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:57:55Do it, Mr. Shepherd. Propose right here, right now.
00:57:58Brian?
00:58:03Well, is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:58:08By forcing a ring on someone?
00:58:11Do it, or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:58:15Don't you dare. You're humiliating yourself.
00:58:24How dare you? Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:58:28Yes. I like her.
00:58:34But I can't imagine someone like her, interesting in me.
00:58:39The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:58:45Why would you choose someone like her?
00:58:46I know.
00:58:48Exactly. This woman is trouble. She doesn't belong here. Throw her out!
00:58:53You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?
00:58:58Interesting turn of events.
00:59:00Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:59:04Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura,
00:59:09that you're the missing heiress, Laura Lewis?
00:59:14You know what? Maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:59:16How ridiculous. Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:59:20I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow.
00:59:27Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?
00:59:31You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.
00:59:33That's enough. You don't get to talk here.
00:59:36You got much effort. You dare to go against Miss Duke.
00:59:39And the same applies to everyone else here. Anyone who insults Laura.
00:59:43Leave us with a black eye.
00:59:46It's willing to offend the chick for her.
00:59:48What kind of charm does she have?
00:59:50I want to be careful, Brian.
00:59:52Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:59:56Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
01:00:00The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not Shepard Group.
01:00:06The Lewis Group RS? You? Don't make me laugh.
01:00:15Security, remove these two imposters from the premises.
01:00:19Wait, Uncle Jones. Give Brian another chance.
01:00:22Choose, Brian. Me and the future you deserve or this fraud.
01:00:28What?
01:00:30Chloe, I have everything I ever wanted right here.
01:00:36And I wouldn't trade for all the power the Duke's home in Maplewood.
01:00:40Fine.
01:00:46Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
01:00:47What?
01:00:50You forced my hand, Brian.
01:00:53Now Shepard Group is ruined.
01:00:55The Duke family, they can't be serious.
01:00:57Shepard Group is doomed.
01:00:59Brian, you don't have to do this for me.
01:01:03Laura, I will never let anyone bully you, let alone them.
01:01:09Thank you, Brian, for believing in me, for protecting me.
01:01:18Now it's my turn to protect you.
01:01:20Listen carefully.
01:01:29I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock at all costs.
01:01:34Don't let it drop even one cent.
01:01:39Do you understand?
01:01:40Well, award-winning performance, Laura.
01:01:44But you can't possibly control the stock market.
01:01:48Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
01:01:52If the Shepard stock holds for the next five minutes,
01:02:01you owe me a public apology.
01:02:08Deal.
01:02:13Well, looks like your five minutes is up.
01:02:19Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
01:02:21What the?
01:02:26The Shepard Group stock prices?
01:02:28It's going up.
01:02:30This can't be happening.
01:02:31It must be a coincidence.
01:02:32Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
01:02:42There was a huge investment.
01:02:43We couldn't compete.
01:02:44Shepard stock price is being heavily supported.
01:02:48How did you do this?
01:02:50Like I said, Chloe.
01:02:54I'm Laura Lewis.
01:02:56No, you're not.
01:02:57You're just some cleaner.
01:02:58You don't have access to billions.
01:03:01Well, I think it's time for my apology.
01:03:10No, I think it's time for my apology.
01:03:13There is no way I'm apologizing to you.
01:03:16If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
01:03:19Chloe, the truth is everyone here has seen you be a bully and a coward and now a sore loser.
01:03:33This is so humiliating for her.
01:03:37How did she manage that?
01:03:38Maybe she really is a Lewis.
01:03:41Apologize to Miss Lewis.
01:03:43Shut up.
01:03:44Don't you die talk about Miss Duke like that.
01:03:47Don't forget, the Duke finally owned half of Maplewood.
01:03:51You're going service.
01:03:52Let's get out of here.
01:03:55Hold on.
01:03:57This is where I belong.
01:04:00And that is my chair.
01:04:03You can't go there.
01:04:05That is the VIP section.
01:04:07Only those invited by the Lewis Group vice presidents get to sit there.
01:04:12Like I said, Chloe, that's my seat.
01:04:21I had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
01:04:23Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepard, wasn't it?
01:04:32Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
01:04:35Is this how you charm all your men?
01:04:37Shall we?
01:04:38My pleasure.
01:04:39What are you doing?
01:04:43Let go.
01:04:44It doesn't matter what happened.
01:04:45I choose to stay by Laura's side.
01:04:49Let's go.
01:04:50Don't be absurd.
01:04:51That seat is reserved for a very important guest.
01:04:56Someone so esteemed, even the vice presidents have to bow low.
01:04:59And how exactly, Mr. Jones?
01:05:07Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
01:05:11Wait, that's Peter Young, director of business affairs at Lewis Group.
01:05:15Ask Peter Young.
01:05:19He decides which investments in here.
01:05:21Mr. Young, it's Chloe Duke, head of Duke Industries.
01:05:24So glad you could join us.
01:05:25Why is everyone standing around?
01:05:27It's her.
01:05:28She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat.
01:05:31It's embarrassing.
01:05:33That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
01:05:36Specifically the family heir.
01:05:39Please get off the stage.
01:05:41Oh, yes.
01:05:42Mr. Young, was it?
01:05:44I think I remember you.
01:05:46You manage my family's investments.
01:05:50Don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:05:53Please get off the stage.
01:05:54That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.
01:05:57I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:06:04I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:06:10This is ridiculous.
01:06:14You, the Lewis heir.
01:06:16Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:06:19You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:06:22Exactly.
01:06:23We ran a background check on her and it turns out she's just some cleaner
01:06:27that used to work for the Harrison Group.
01:06:29Before that, I could see her in my family's supermarket.
01:06:33See, Brian?
01:06:34This is who you've been chasing after.
01:06:36A liar and a cheat.
01:06:37Security, get this imposter out of here.
01:06:41And everyone here is a witness.
01:06:42Why would any of you trust Laura?
01:06:46If any of you dares to harm her, you have to go through me first.
01:06:51Brian, she's just some nobody.
01:06:55She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.
01:06:57They didn't even want her.
01:06:59What exactly do you see in her?
01:07:01Escort this imposter out of here.
01:07:03Now.
01:07:04I'm Peter.
01:07:07Peter, do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:07:17Hey, Mr. Yates, I'm so glad you could join us.
01:07:22Miss Lewis, sorry about the delay and for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:07:27It's no trouble, Mr. Yates.
01:07:30Luckily, I haven't been alone.
01:07:32I've had the great company of my very loyal friend.
01:07:37Wait a minute.
01:07:39She's Miss Lewis.
01:07:40Is this a joke?
01:07:41Mr. Young, you're new to the Lewis Group, so I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.
01:07:49But you listened to lies without checking the facts and almost called the police.
01:07:55Tell me, Mr. Young, who put you up to this?
01:08:01Was it my uncle, Ian Lewis?
01:08:06I knew it.
01:08:10Consider this your termination.
01:08:14I get it now.
01:08:15This is all an act.
01:08:17Right?
01:08:17Chloe, what are you doing?
01:08:18We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:08:20Work with them?
01:08:21Are you blind?
01:08:22This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:08:25That's enough, young lady.
01:08:27You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.
01:08:32Oh, Chloe, I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:08:35I think you need some professional help.
01:08:39Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:08:42Chloe, that's enough.
01:08:44It's ridiculous.
01:08:45If you weren't really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.
01:08:48So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:08:49Show us the ring.
01:08:54Why don't you show that to everyone?
01:08:55Show us the ring.
01:08:58Show us the ring.
01:08:59Who are you to make demands of me?
01:09:02I don't answer to anyone but myself.
01:09:06I don't need any of your validation.
01:09:09Oh, there's a ring.
01:09:17Vice Presidents, I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.
01:09:21This woman is an imposter.
01:09:23Miss Lewis, we apologize for the delay.
01:09:26How could you just let that con woman sit there?
01:09:29Get her out of here!
01:09:30This seat was always for Miss Lewis.
01:09:34She's the special guest we've been waiting for.
01:09:37The investment queen.
01:09:39The real heir to Lewis Group.
01:09:42Laura Lewis.
01:09:43She was a divorced housewife.
01:09:45A janitor.
01:09:46How can she?
01:09:46She can't be.
01:09:47It's a lie, I'm telling you.
01:09:49It's a lie.
01:09:50Do you think we'd lie?
01:09:52We run Lewis Group.
01:09:54Oh, Chloe.
01:09:56You assaulted me earlier.
01:09:59And you came to this meeting to what?
01:10:02Sabotage it.
01:10:03You'll be hearing from our legal team.
01:10:09Is this true, Miss Duke?
01:10:10Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:10:14Yes.
01:10:15It's all true.
01:10:16She fooled us all.
01:10:17The Duke tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewood and control everything themselves.
01:10:23I had no idea.
01:10:25But I'm on your side.
01:10:27I can give you everything you need.
01:10:30All the resources in Maplewood.
01:10:31Miss Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this?
01:10:36An eye for an eye.
01:10:40Since Miss Duke here loves ruining things, I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:10:52I want them bankrupt in 10 minutes.
01:10:55You're bluffing.
01:10:56You're nobody.
01:10:58You'll always be a nobody.
01:10:59And you can't touch me.
01:11:01Then, consider this a test, Chloe.
01:11:05I didn't need my family's support with Shepard, and I certainly don't need it now.
01:11:10Chloe, you dug your own grave.
01:11:13You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family with just the Shepard group?
01:11:18Please.
01:11:19Hmm.
01:11:22We'll see.
01:11:28Dad?
01:11:29Slow down.
01:11:30What are you talking about?
01:11:33No.
01:11:35It's impossible.
01:11:36Chloe, what have you done?
01:11:39Years of hard work.
01:11:41Just draw it in minutes.
01:11:45What did you do?
01:11:48Well, Chloe, isn't this what you wanted?
01:11:52To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:11:55This is impossible.
01:11:57It's impossible.
01:11:59Chloe, what have you done?
01:12:01The news is everywhere.
01:12:03Shepard's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market.
01:12:07They're hammering our shares.
01:12:09Are you sure it's just Shepard's?
01:12:11Yes.
01:12:11Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato.
01:12:16We could go bankrupt.
01:12:17You've ruined everything.
01:12:19Don't worry, Mr. Duke.
01:12:20When your company does go bankrupt, I'll buy it.
01:12:25At a fire sale price, your employees won't even be affected.
01:12:28Brilliant.
01:12:29A masterstroke, Ms. Lewis.
01:12:32Now, this is my event.
01:12:37Please leave.
01:12:38Brian, I did this for us.
01:12:40Everything I did, I did for us, Brian.
01:12:44Chloe, you need help.
01:12:48These feelings you have for me, it's not love.
01:12:52It's obsession.
01:12:54Enough.
01:12:55If you don't want to ruin everything completely, you'll come with me.
01:12:59Right now.
01:13:00No.
01:13:00No.
01:13:01No.
01:13:02Right now.
01:13:03No.
01:13:03No.
01:13:04No.
01:13:05Ryan!
01:13:11Laura!
01:13:12This isn't over!
01:13:13Get out of me!
01:13:15What is it?
01:13:16What?
01:13:16Can you hear me?
01:13:17What is going on here?
01:13:21Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:13:23Shepard Group.
01:13:24They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group for Maplewood.
01:13:28They're handling all future construction projects.
01:13:30That can't be.
01:13:32What about us?
01:13:33That was our project.
01:13:34Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.
01:13:37Harrison Group is practically out.
01:13:39We have no chance.
01:13:41We can't give up that easily.
01:13:43Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager.
01:13:47In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.
01:13:50You're right.
01:13:51If we can just meet with a new heir, we can bypass the Shepards and meet directly with the Lewis Group.
01:13:57We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.
01:14:01That's right.
01:14:05Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.
01:14:11I'm sure I've mentioned him before.
01:14:13Mr. Shepard, it's finally a pleasure to meet you.
01:14:16We've looked into your company's financial review.
01:14:19Very impressive.
01:14:21Thank you, thank you, but a large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.
01:14:28She practically saved me from disaster three times over now.
01:14:32Brian, you can just call me Laura.
01:14:35Ms. Lewis's recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.
01:14:39Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:14:42Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is golden.
01:14:46Seize it.
01:14:47A woman like Laura is not easy to find.
01:14:51Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.
01:15:01Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:15:03Laura?
01:15:05Hardly.
01:15:06I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.
01:15:12So you're Laura's uncle?
01:15:14In the flesh.
01:15:17So Laura really is your niece?
01:15:18Yes, little Laura.
01:15:21She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.
01:15:25Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.
01:15:28I think he was a Harrison.
01:15:30Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side.
01:15:33Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?
01:15:38And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?
01:15:41If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:15:44Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Miss Duke.
01:15:47We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:15:49What if I, what if I fail?
01:15:53My family is already ruined.
01:15:55Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say.
01:15:59But, if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family will get back everything you've lost.
01:16:06Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side, how can I possibly get the ring?
01:16:11There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly.
01:16:20Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:16:23Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.
01:16:29Laura.
01:16:30It's so good to see you.
01:16:31And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps.
01:16:37How have you been?
01:16:38I've been well, Uncle Ian.
01:16:40Thank you for asking.
01:16:42I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.
01:16:46Yes.
01:16:46Kind of been easy.
01:16:47Indeed, somebody had to.
01:16:49I mean, after you left me with everything to do,
01:16:52without a safe pair of hands, I hate to think it would have happened to the company.
01:16:56Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard,
01:17:00you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.
01:17:05Yes, minor mistakes, minor.
01:17:08Don't worry, Uncle Ian, I won't hold it against you.
01:17:13Good.
01:17:13Well, cheers to you coming back here and the Lewis Group.
01:17:21I'm so sorry, Laura.
01:17:23How clumsy of me.
01:17:25Uh, no, no worries, Uncle Ian, I,
01:17:29I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.
01:17:32Of course.
01:17:33Right away, just down to the left.
01:17:41Use it wisely.
01:17:43Oh, I will.
01:17:44Hey, Laura, how's that?
01:18:00Hello, Brian.
01:18:02Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:18:03Chloe, how in the hell did you get Laura's phone?
01:18:08Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:18:10Listen, Chloe.
01:18:13Don't hurt her.
01:18:14Please.
01:18:16I'll do anything.
01:18:19Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs.
01:18:23Now.
01:18:24Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.
01:18:30Well, you certainly do have your ways.
01:18:32Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up.
01:18:37I am sorry.
01:18:38How clumsy.
01:18:39And don't forget your phone.
01:18:40I retrieved it for you.
01:18:42Wow.
01:18:42Thank you, Uncle Ian.
01:18:44Lovely to see you again.
01:18:45Yeah.
01:18:45I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.
01:18:49At the banquet.
01:18:52I'll see you then.
01:18:53Will do.
01:18:54Looking forward to it.
01:18:58Laura!
01:18:59Laura!
01:18:59Where are you?
01:19:01Laura!
01:19:03Laura!
01:19:04Where are you?
01:19:06Laura!
01:19:07Laura, where are you?
01:19:08Laura!
01:19:14Gotcha.
01:19:17You weren't expecting that, were you?
01:19:19Finally.
01:19:30Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.
01:19:32What the?
01:19:34Laura, where are you?
01:19:34Laura?
01:19:35Laura?
01:19:36Go shut your mouth.
01:19:38Chloe.
01:19:40What have you done?
01:19:41You out of your mind?
01:19:42Out of my mind!
01:19:44You were the one that left me for that tramp and destroyed my life!
01:19:47That's not true.
01:19:48You were the one who messed up!
01:19:50Brian!
01:19:51Laura!
01:19:54Stay where you are.
01:19:56You better not come alone.
01:19:58Drop this knife, Chloe.
01:20:00This is insane!
01:20:01Insane?
01:20:03I did this for us, Brian!
01:20:05We were meant to be together.
01:20:07Oh my god.
01:20:08Us?
01:20:09You've gone crazy!
01:20:10And you're out of here!
01:20:11Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious offense.
01:20:16They're gonna lock you up for years!
01:20:18You think I care about jail time?
01:20:21All I care about is tearing you two apart.
01:20:24You don't deserve him.
01:20:27What you've done...
01:20:28You've destroyed my life!
01:20:30My company, everything!
01:20:33Now I'm gonna destroy your life.
01:20:36Give me the family ring now.
01:20:39Give it to me!
01:20:40This is about the ring.
01:20:41This is about the ring.
01:20:43Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:20:46You know, Chloe, trying to kill me, that's foolish.
01:20:52Because who do you think is gonna win?
01:20:55You, that little knife, or me, with something a little bit more persuasive?
01:21:03Don't move, anyone.
01:21:15Don't move.
01:21:17You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.
01:21:20Miss Lewis, having fun without me?
01:21:23I'm hurt.
01:21:27Are you hurt?
01:21:28No, I'm okay.
01:21:29I'm okay.
01:21:30Tell me, Chloe.
01:21:35Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:21:37Why should I tell you?
01:21:39You're gonna kill me anyway.
01:21:41Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:21:44But if you don't talk, your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:21:51Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:21:54So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:21:57Talk, or face the consequences.
01:22:00Fine.
01:22:01It was Ian Lewis.
01:22:03He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:22:09Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:22:11I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:22:15Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:22:18Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:22:20I'm ready to play a game.
01:22:30This is crazy.
01:22:32Are we really sure we can do this?
01:22:33All these big companies here.
01:22:34It's crazy.
01:22:35Absolutely.
01:22:37The Lewis Group is under new leadership.
01:22:39We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:22:41Exactly.
01:22:42We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:22:46There's Ian Lewis now.
01:22:47You can introduce us.
01:22:48Let's go.
01:22:49Yeah.
01:22:50Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:22:53I'm Amber Smith.
01:22:54We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:22:56This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.
01:22:58How do you do?
01:22:59We're the company that...
01:22:59Yes, I know who you are.
01:23:01Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:23:05Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:23:07Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:23:18The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:23:21Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:23:24A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:23:27Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group, Miss Laura Lewis.
01:23:34Look, everybody, attention.
01:23:35Attention, please.
01:23:38There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:23:44I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:23:51And tragically, she hasn't made it.
01:23:53She has not survived.
01:23:58What?
01:23:58Laura Lewis is dead?
01:24:01It doesn't matter now.
01:24:02She's gone.
01:24:03Mr. Lewis, is this new...
01:24:05A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:24:07But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.
01:24:14Hold on.
01:24:15Who said that I'm dead?
01:24:19Laura.
01:24:20I don't understand.
01:24:25What's happening?
01:24:27Laura?
01:24:28But weren't you...
01:24:30My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:24:33There seems to be some misunderstanding.
01:24:37Laura, what are you doing here?
01:24:38You've got to stop this.
01:24:39If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:24:42I'll say this once.
01:24:43Back off, Ben.
01:24:44Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:24:52As I'm sure you know, tonight I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:25:01Perhaps you could make some room for me, Uncle Ian.
01:25:08How are you still alive?
01:25:11Well, clearly I am alive and well, so why don't we get this started?
01:25:15No, you're not the rightful heir.
01:25:19You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:25:21Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument that you have that I got married too quickly?
01:25:28Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger
01:25:32and left me to work tirelessly keeping the company together.
01:25:36Uncle Ian, retire.
01:25:38Enjoy your retirement.
01:25:40Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:25:43No, there can only be one heir and that's me.
01:25:48And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:25:52You think a ring makes an heir?
01:25:55You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:25:59Give that back to me.
01:26:01This?
01:26:02Yes.
01:26:03You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:26:07Give it back.
01:26:07True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you.
01:26:15Not some stupid ring.
01:26:18My ring!
01:26:18What have you done?
01:26:19Where is it?
01:26:23My ring!
01:26:23Oh!
01:26:24Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.
01:26:27How dare you!
01:26:28Now, let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.
01:26:34Talk or face the consequences.
01:26:39Fine.
01:26:40It was Ian Lewis.
01:26:42He said he'd help drinking the streets if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:26:48Oh, quite the spectacle, Ms. Lewis.
01:26:51Security, escort him out.
01:26:54And Ian, don't fall over.
01:26:57It's all lies.
01:26:58It's all lies.
01:26:59Fakery.
01:26:59It's fake news.
01:26:59The proof is clear.
01:27:01Get him out of here.
01:27:02Now.
01:27:04I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:27:11Turns out reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:27:17Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr. Shepherd by my side.
01:27:24And he has been a great support.
01:27:28Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:27:34I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:27:42Shepherd Group.
01:27:43What?
01:27:44Laura, hold on.
01:27:45This was never my idea.
01:27:47This was all Kathy and Amber's fault.
01:27:49I don't want a divorce.
01:27:50What?
01:27:51Then what are you saying?
01:27:52You came to me first.
01:27:53Classic Ben.
01:27:55Ben.
01:27:55Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.
01:27:59Just don't shut Harrison Group out.
01:28:02Just give me another chance.
01:28:03How could I shut you out?
01:28:05I'm just a cleaner, remember?
01:28:07I'm just a useless housewife.
01:28:10I don't have that power.
01:28:14What are you talking about?
01:28:15What?
01:28:15No, come on.
01:28:15Sorry.
01:28:16No, please.
01:28:16No.
01:28:19Um, Mr. Shepherd?
01:28:21Yes, Ms. Lewis?
01:28:23I was wondering if maybe you wanted to grab dinner sometime on me.
01:28:33Ms. Lewis,
01:28:34I would love to.
