00:00:00Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:10What the hell is going on here?
00:00:13Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:16Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do.
00:00:21Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:25They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:29Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:35Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunch time.
00:00:45Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:46Mr. Jason, excuse me ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:00:50Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.
00:00:57But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
00:01:05Do I know you?
00:01:09Wait, what are you doing?
00:01:12What are you doing?
00:01:13You can't do this, you're just a cleaner.
00:01:15You can't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:18This is incredible!
00:01:20What's going on?
00:01:22The shortening attempt.
00:01:23It's failing!
00:01:24The price is holding!
00:01:27Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:31We've met before.
00:01:34They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:37Hold on.
00:01:38Tell me, how could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:42If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:51Jason, can we have five now?
00:02:10Mr. Yates!
00:02:12What, only two bodyguards this time?
00:02:14You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:17No, ma'am. I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:02:21Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Grimmel.
00:02:26Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:30Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:35Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:42Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:46Because what I want is a simple life, with Ben.
00:02:51Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you onto the house, for my sake.
00:03:05Ma'am, divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:16Why?
00:03:17You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:20The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:03:26The Shepard Group.
00:03:28And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:03:30The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time. I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:38I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:41You, a cleaning woman, handing out million dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.
00:03:50I did! It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:54I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:57What are you doing here?
00:04:00Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:04Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:07Local royalty? A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:12And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:04:15Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it, Ben?
00:04:20Ben?
00:04:23What's going on?
00:04:25Is this why you want a divorce?
00:04:27Because of her?
00:04:28Oh, please.
00:04:29I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:04:32You're still a cleaner.
00:04:33We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:36Grown apart?
00:04:38No.
00:04:40No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:43I won't sign.
00:04:47Ha!
00:04:49Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:52Ben?
00:04:54Alright. Here, a hundred thousand dollars. Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:05:00A hundred thousand dollars?
00:05:02I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:06Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:10Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:12You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:15This is our active charity tool.
00:05:17Here. A million dollars. Take this.
00:05:20You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:22Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:25I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this since none of you respect me.
00:05:36Cleaning lady. Threatening us?
00:05:39I'm so scared.
00:05:41Just leave. We already make this house stink.
00:05:51Thank God she's gone.
00:05:52Go to written store.
00:05:57Sir?
00:05:59Laura Lewis' information.
00:06:03She's been Harrison's wife.
00:06:05No wonder why she wanted us to part with him.
00:06:08Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:11Divorced her?
00:06:14Wait a minute.
00:06:16Don't you remember?
00:06:18She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:22Yeah. She saved our hiding now. Remember?
00:06:26Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:31I don't know.
00:06:34Let's get to the vinyl news.
00:06:35Hey!
00:06:36What are you doing? Let go of me!
00:06:40You attacked Amber! Apologize this instant!
00:06:46You're stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:49We gave you a generous divorce settlement, you refused it, and now you're stealing.
00:06:52She couldn't afford it. You're a thief!
00:07:02That's mine! Give it back!
00:07:04Hey!
00:07:05That's enough!
00:07:07Laura?
00:07:09I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:13It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:19You see, it's...
00:07:21Who are you, Laura's new squeeze?
00:07:23Excuse me. Do you know who I am?
00:07:24Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son? Shame on you!
00:07:30Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:31For your information, my name is Brian Shepard. I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:37Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:41You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:44That's really interesting, considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:49That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that. My ring.
00:07:54Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:07:56Hey, what are you doing?
00:08:00Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.
00:08:03Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:08It's alright, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:08:11All rabbed dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.
00:08:15We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her!
00:08:19Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. I'll go back.
00:08:23What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:08:26That's a lie! Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura! You come back here and explain yourself!
00:08:31Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!
00:08:36Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the $100 million deal?
00:08:40Let's just say that... Ben underestimated me.
00:08:46I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:49After how they treated you. Maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:53No! Um... No, the event will proceed.
00:08:57Besides, I'll be there.
00:09:02There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:05Who are you, truly?
00:09:08You'll find out.
00:09:10Mr. Shepard.
00:09:12Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:17Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're gonna have a meeting. An investment meeting. One week from today.
00:09:28Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:33Because after that meeting, I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:41Oh, excellent, Miss Lewis. I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:45Ben Harrison.
00:09:47You're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:52After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:04Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:07Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:10Security! Get that woman out of here! We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:10:15Why wouldn't I be here? This is a business event, after all.
00:10:18Business? You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:10:23A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey. Just get out!
00:10:27Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for. You should've taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:32Oh, Ben. Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:37Laura, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:41You don't belong here. Just get out!
00:10:48That's what you get.
00:10:55This contract is mine. To give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:02Don't be ridiculous! This is insane! Who do you think you are?
00:11:06Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:09Security! She's lost a mind! This is a disaster!
00:11:12Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:20Do you really think ripping up that contract is gonna help?
00:11:22You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help?
00:11:31You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:49You're so silly, Lauren.
00:11:50Oh, please, honey.
00:11:52You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:54Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:57I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:12:01And after careful consideration,
00:12:04I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:12:09You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:12:14You have no authority here.
00:12:16Of course she has the authority.
00:12:24That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:12:26What is he doing here?
00:12:28Mr. Shepard?
00:12:28How does he know her?
00:12:30Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:32Laura, are you alright?
00:12:36Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.
00:12:39There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:41There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:44This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.
00:12:48Effective immediately.
00:12:51Wait a minute.
00:12:52This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:54It's her.
00:12:55She ruined the contract.
00:12:57You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:59An affair?
00:13:00She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:13:05Mom, please, it's okay.
00:13:06This man is...
00:13:07Don't touch me.
00:13:09That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone,
00:13:11has an affair, and you just stand there?
00:13:14You're a disgrace.
00:13:15An adulterer.
00:13:16You deserve to be around...
00:13:17Shut up!
00:13:20Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess,
00:13:24but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:13:26Tricked?
00:13:28Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?
00:13:32What was my name before we got married?
00:13:36Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:38Lewis Group?
00:13:40The Financial Giants?
00:13:41There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:46That's crazy.
00:13:47There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:50That's absurd.
00:13:52It's...
00:13:52It's...
00:13:53It's absurd!
00:13:56A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:13:59Yeah, it's a lie.
00:14:01It's a lie.
00:14:01This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:14:03In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:14:07She's nothing special.
00:14:09She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:10I was just a waitress.
00:14:13How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:16First time I met her, she was in need of waitress at the diner.
00:14:19Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:14:21When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:24Mm-hmm.
00:14:24Now look at me.
00:14:25I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:28And look at her.
00:14:29Still just a clear.
00:14:30Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:34She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:37She's lying, Mr. Shepard.
00:14:38She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:41Let's make something clear.
00:14:47I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:51I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:57Don't lie.
00:14:58You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:15:01Oops.
00:15:02That roof was built with lies.
00:15:05Kathy, you never respected me.
00:15:07And Ben?
00:15:09Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:12And the cheating.
00:15:14I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:15:18You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:15:22If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy.
00:15:29Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:32From everything.
00:15:33Wait, wait, wait, wait, Laura.
00:15:39You think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:41And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:43I don't think so.
00:15:44You're a cleaner.
00:15:46You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:48Nobody cares about you.
00:15:49Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:53I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
00:16:03I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:16:05I think all jobs are important.
00:16:07Right, Mom?
00:16:08Ben, what are you doing?
00:16:10But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:16:15A janitor.
00:16:17Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that clear-
00:16:23in collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:25You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:31Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:16:33This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:38I, but, well...
00:16:40A lie, you say?
00:16:41Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:16:46But I don't recognize you.
00:16:48Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:49Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:55This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:59But the contract?
00:17:00I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:17:02So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:07We print it, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:09Perhaps you haven't been paying attention.
00:17:11Without Miss Lewis involved,
00:17:13I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:20Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:23Shepard Group has no plans
00:17:25to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:30Miss Smith, you lied to us.
00:17:33You destroyed everything.
00:17:35What?
00:17:36No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:17:37I can explain.
00:17:39Lewis?
00:17:40Lewis Family Group?
00:17:42This can't be.
00:17:43Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:46Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:51Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:55And I'm sure you can ask them
00:17:56if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:18:02Everyone, listen to me.
00:18:04Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison Group.
00:18:08A man who can't keep his vows to his wife
00:18:11cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.
00:18:16The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:18Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:23Miss Lewis,
00:18:24shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:26Help!
00:18:33Help!
00:18:34Mom!
00:18:35Someone get a doctor!
00:18:36Mom!
00:18:37It seems you and I have taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:43Indeed.
00:18:44Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:46What?
00:18:58What now?
00:19:00Mom,
00:19:01this is not all on me.
00:19:03Not on you!
00:19:04I was trying to help.
00:19:06She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:19:08Flaunted their affair.
00:19:10Exactly.
00:19:10And those dresses?
00:19:13Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:19:15Miss Smith,
00:19:17how could you do this?
00:19:18We trusted you completely.
00:19:20No, no.
00:19:22I got Ben the deal.
00:19:23I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.
00:19:27She's a liar.
00:19:28Well, stop it, Amber.
00:19:30You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:19:32Lied?
00:19:33You're on my side.
00:19:36And anyways, I have a plan.
00:19:38The Shepards are no one special.
00:19:40We can expose Laura in all her lies.
00:19:43Go national.
00:19:43We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:48Now, if you'll excuse me,
00:19:50I have a very important phone call to make.
00:19:57Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:00Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:20:03It's all right, Laura.
00:20:04You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:20:06Can I ask you something?
00:20:07Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:20:09Maybe a hotel?
00:20:10Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:13I'll be fine.
00:20:15Excuse me.
00:20:16You can just drop me off.
00:20:17Actually, Laura.
00:20:18Actually, Laura.
00:20:19There is something else.
00:20:21Would you consider to go out for dinner sometime?
00:20:24Just casually, of course.
00:20:26Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:20:29Please, call me Brian.
00:20:33And yes, technically, you're single now.
00:20:37Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:20:46Proper, Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:20:54Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:20:58Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:21:02So what do you say?
00:21:03Dinner?
00:21:06Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:08I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:21:13I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't.
00:21:17Wait, Laura.
00:21:18Just here is fine.
00:21:22Laura?
00:21:27Laura, who is it?
00:21:29Laura, wait!
00:21:31Jason, find out who owns that car.
00:21:35And do it fast.
00:21:36Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:21:46It's Amber Smith.
00:21:47Mr. Lewis?
00:21:49I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:54I don't know who you are, Miss Smith.
00:21:57How did you get this number?
00:21:59Don't worry about that right now.
00:22:01I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:22:03Someone I know very well.
00:22:07Impersonating my niece.
00:22:09And where is this fake Laura?
00:22:13Right here in Maplewood.
00:22:14And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:18Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:22:22And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:22:26In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:22:32I want to meet with the vice presidents.
00:22:34All will be revealed then.
00:22:36Very well.
00:22:37I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.
00:22:40But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:22:43It won't be.
00:22:45Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:22:47Thank you, Mr.
00:22:47That little rascal, Laura.
00:22:57I wonder what she's up to now.
00:23:02That car belongs to Mr. Yeats.
00:23:04The Lewis family butler.
00:23:07Oh.
00:23:09Lewis family?
00:23:11That's interesting.
00:23:12Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:23:16I'm not sure.
00:23:19Brian!
00:23:20There you are.
00:23:21I've missed you.
00:23:23Chloe.
00:23:25What are you up to?
00:23:26Chloe.
00:23:26What are you doing here?
00:23:28What do you mean?
00:23:30Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:32We ended things for a reason.
00:23:34It was just one teensy mistake.
00:23:36I was...
00:23:37I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:39Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:41It's a mistake you said.
00:23:42You cheated on me.
00:23:48Is this your new fling?
00:23:50Ex-divorcey.
00:23:52Used a clean floor.
00:23:54It's quite the catch, you say.
00:23:56Look.
00:23:57My relationship with her is none of your business.
00:24:00And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:24:03Please.
00:24:05An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:24:09It's a classic story.
00:24:10That's enough.
00:24:12I'll get the hell out of my own this.
00:24:14You want to be careful, Brian.
00:24:16Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:19If you want Shepard Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.
00:24:27Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:30This is it.
00:24:37The Lewis Group vice presidents are on the top floor.
00:24:40Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:45I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:48Well, well, well.
00:24:51Look who it is.
00:24:52What a surprise.
00:24:54Did Brian teach you already?
00:24:56That's none of your business.
00:24:59Now, move aside, please.
00:25:00Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
00:25:04You really think you can just ruin my events again?
00:25:06Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:25:07Don't you have any shame?
00:25:09If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:25:13Oh, the nurse.
00:25:14After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them, too?
00:25:19Seriously?
00:25:20I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:25Oh, that's gold.
00:25:26You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?
00:25:29Please, you're no one compared to me.
00:25:31You don't deserve to be here.
00:25:33The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:25:38And you, idiot, believing every lie that she tells you, wake up, Ben.
00:25:43Oh, Laura!
00:25:45Laura, come on.
00:25:46Why do you always pull this on me?
00:25:48I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:25:52I know what this is.
00:25:54So stupid.
00:25:56Oh, shut your trap.
00:25:58Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:26:00He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:26:04Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.
00:26:07And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:26:11Well, before you all start celebrating,
00:26:15why don't you take a look at this?
00:26:21Oh, that's rich.
00:26:23You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.
00:26:26I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.
00:26:29Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?
00:26:33You mean my uncle?
00:26:36Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:38Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:26:43And besides, this looks fake.
00:26:46She's a liar.
00:26:48This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:53It grants me access to the VIP elevator,
00:26:55which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.
00:26:58She's lying.
00:26:59They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:27:05Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?
00:27:09Not that I know of.
00:27:11See?
00:27:12She's lying.
00:27:13There you have it, Laura.
00:27:15Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:27:17Go on, get lost before things get worse.
00:27:19Here, take this one.
00:27:24Lead me to the vice president's.
00:27:25You have no idea what you just did.
00:27:30There will be consequences.
00:27:34Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis
00:27:38that you claim to have,
00:27:40why don't you just ask him
00:27:41to get the two of them an invitation?
00:27:45Security, security, we need this woman removed immediately.
00:27:47She is harassing me.
00:27:49We're done with your games, Laura.
00:27:50You're just a fraud.
00:27:52Man, please move me.
00:27:53What?
00:27:53Hold on!
00:27:57Brian Shepard?
00:27:59You think money buys you the right
00:28:01to walk all over people?
00:28:02Well, it doesn't.
00:28:03Yeah.
00:28:04Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?
00:28:07What other plans do you have to destroy this time?
00:28:09Get you out?
00:28:10After what you did to Laura,
00:28:12you had it coming.
00:28:13Don't play dumb.
00:28:15We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:28:17How long has this little affair been going on?
00:28:19You've been sleeping with her
00:28:20since she was married to my son.
00:28:22Hold on a second.
00:28:24An affair?
00:28:25You think Laura and I...
00:28:27You people are unbelievable.
00:28:32Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP.
00:28:35We have a situation.
00:28:37What, you think you can just boss
00:28:38the manager around now?
00:28:39Is that it?
00:28:40Well, stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:42Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.
00:28:44How can I help you this evening?
00:28:46Thank you, Mr. Carter,
00:28:47for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:50It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:52These people don't think that I belong here.
00:28:56Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you,
00:28:57this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:59A cleaner?
00:29:00Nonsense.
00:29:00I personally agreed to Miss Lewis
00:29:02upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:29:05Exactly.
00:29:07Lewis Group,
00:29:08my company,
00:29:10has some major investments
00:29:12planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:14I was just here
00:29:15investigating potential business opportunities.
00:29:17No, this woman doesn't know
00:29:19the difference between business
00:29:20and a hole in the ground.
00:29:22She's been this way
00:29:23since my son divorced her.
00:29:24She's insane.
00:29:25Actually,
00:29:26I met Laura three years ago
00:29:28at the coffee shop.
00:29:29She helped secure
00:29:31a profitable investment
00:29:32for Shepard Group.
00:29:33No, it's a lie.
00:29:36Mr. Shepard,
00:29:36she's tricking you too.
00:29:38You know,
00:29:42it's exhausting
00:29:43trying to argue with people
00:29:44who forget
00:29:45who helped them.
00:29:47Mr. Carter,
00:29:49would you mind showing me
00:29:49to the VIP elevator?
00:29:51Wait,
00:29:51is that why you're covering for her?
00:29:53Huh?
00:29:53Because of the affair?
00:29:54Because she slept with you?
00:29:55Excuse me.
00:29:56Of course.
00:29:57Who are you
00:29:57and how dare you speak
00:29:58to Miss Lewis that way?
00:29:59Enough of this.
00:30:00That's enough.
00:30:01Have you no embarrass yourself enough?
00:30:03This is Lewis Group property.
00:30:05Behave or I'll call security.
00:30:07But she doesn't even have
00:30:08a VIP entrance access.
00:30:10She shouldn't be here.
00:30:12Since you're having
00:30:13trouble understanding them,
00:30:15let me make it clear.
00:30:17This hotel
00:30:18is owned by the Lewis family.
00:30:21It's mine
00:30:22to come
00:30:23or go
00:30:24as I please.
00:30:25Thank you
00:30:29for stepping in, Brian.
00:30:31I owe you one.
00:30:33We'll talk about this later.
00:30:35Well,
00:30:36it seems divorcing
00:30:37a powerful woman
00:30:38wasn't the best decision,
00:30:40Mr. Anderson.
00:30:40Come in.
00:30:48Excuse me,
00:30:51Vice Presidents.
00:30:53I'm Amber Smith,
00:30:55General Manager
00:30:55of the Lewis Group
00:30:56Maplewood Branch.
00:30:57I believe Ian Lewis
00:30:58told you about
00:30:59our meeting today.
00:31:00Maplewood Branch.
00:31:02Our records
00:31:03don't show
00:31:04any Maplewood Branch,
00:31:06Miss Smith.
00:31:07Are you sure
00:31:08you haven't gotten
00:31:09something mixed up?
00:31:11Ian Lewis,
00:31:13Mr. Lewis,
00:31:15reassured me
00:31:15that today
00:31:16we would discuss,
00:31:17well,
00:31:18expansion plans.
00:31:20Oh,
00:31:20expansion plans?
00:31:23Miss Smith?
00:31:23A decision like that
00:31:24wouldn't be taken
00:31:25without board approval.
00:31:27And frankly,
00:31:28we haven't heard
00:31:29anything about
00:31:29Maplewood Branch.
00:31:31But
00:31:32Ian Lewis
00:31:33assured me
00:31:34that...
00:31:35Miss Smith,
00:31:36we have a very important
00:31:37guest arriving soon.
00:31:38Perhaps you'd like
00:31:39to schedule a follow-up
00:31:40meeting with one of our staff.
00:31:41Maybe I can stay
00:31:42for this guest
00:31:43and offer some local...
00:31:44Miss Smith,
00:31:45we'd like you to leave.
00:31:46If you don't,
00:31:47we'll call security.
00:31:48Hey,
00:31:54stop there.
00:31:55This elevator
00:31:55is a VIP only.
00:31:57Back, please.
00:31:58Of course.
00:31:59My apologies.
00:32:06Laura?
00:32:10Vice Presidents,
00:32:11it's so good
00:32:12to see all of you again.
00:32:14Miss Lewis,
00:32:16it's been too long.
00:32:17Your return
00:32:18is a lifesaver,
00:32:19Miss Lewis.
00:32:20The Lewis Group
00:32:21has floundered
00:32:22under your uncle's,
00:32:23well,
00:32:23shall we say,
00:32:24unconventional leadership.
00:32:26The board are begging you
00:32:28to come back,
00:32:29Miss Lewis.
00:32:31Well,
00:32:31please sit.
00:32:33Yes,
00:32:33well,
00:32:34it is time for me
00:32:35to get my career
00:32:36back on track.
00:32:37We've got
00:32:38a meeting planned,
00:32:39a big one,
00:32:40in just a few days.
00:32:42Local powerhouses
00:32:44and smaller players,
00:32:46too.
00:32:47They'll all be there
00:32:47in one spot.
00:32:49Miss Lewis,
00:32:50we met with an
00:32:51Amber Smith.
00:32:53She claimed
00:32:54your uncle
00:32:55appointed her
00:32:56general manager
00:32:57of a Maplewood branch
00:32:58for the Lewis Group.
00:33:00She said that,
00:33:01did she?
00:33:02Well,
00:33:02Miss Smith
00:33:02is a liar.
00:33:04There is
00:33:04no Maplewood branch,
00:33:06at least not yet.
00:33:07She lied so blatantly,
00:33:08it was,
00:33:09it's unbelievable.
00:33:10Bob,
00:33:11don't worry.
00:33:12I found a much
00:33:13more suitable partner.
00:33:17Shepherd Group.
00:33:18Shepherd Group?
00:33:19Their rise to a public
00:33:20company has been
00:33:21impressive.
00:33:23Do you have anything
00:33:24to do with that?
00:33:25So,
00:33:26what happens now
00:33:27with this
00:33:28Amber Smith?
00:33:30Oh,
00:33:31don't worry about Amber.
00:33:34I've got plans
00:33:35for her.
00:33:36Miss Lewis,
00:33:40consider this
00:33:41your official
00:33:42invitation
00:33:43to the legend.
00:33:45From us.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:48Cheers.
00:33:59No,
00:33:59I'm not leaving.
00:34:00What are you talking about?
00:34:01No, come on.
00:34:01Wait!
00:34:02I'm Amber Smith.
00:34:03I'm the Lewis Group
00:34:04manager of Maplewood branch.
00:34:05What are you doing?
00:34:06These are my guests.
00:34:06Yeah, that's right.
00:34:07Tell them who we are.
00:34:08Yes,
00:34:09we were waiting
00:34:09for Miss Smith.
00:34:12Lewis Group,
00:34:13Maplewood branch,
00:34:14no such thing, ma'am.
00:34:15And frankly,
00:34:16I'm not interested
00:34:16in your act.
00:34:18Of course.
00:34:19Laura!
00:34:20She's probably
00:34:21sleeping with
00:34:22the manager as well.
00:34:23That's how she
00:34:24gets away
00:34:24with everything.
00:34:25You underestimate
00:34:26her, Kathy.
00:34:27She's probably
00:34:27sleeping with
00:34:28all three
00:34:28vice presidents.
00:34:30No way
00:34:31a girl like her
00:34:31could get into
00:34:32a hotel like this.
00:34:33Careful
00:34:33with your words.
00:34:34Both of you,
00:34:35acquisitions like that
00:34:37can get you
00:34:38in serious trouble.
00:34:41Look who can't
00:34:42even get into
00:34:43a meeting
00:34:43whilst I secure
00:34:44three
00:34:45with all
00:34:46the vice presidents.
00:34:47And let's not forget
00:34:48the mystery guests
00:34:48that they're bringing
00:34:49to Maplewood.
00:34:50Looks like she
00:34:51used you
00:34:52and tossed you
00:34:52aside.
00:34:53Used me?
00:34:54Unlike some people,
00:34:56I don't mind
00:34:56being helpful.
00:34:58You're so stupid.
00:34:59She threw you away
00:35:00like yesterday's trash.
00:35:02Don't worry,
00:35:03Brian.
00:35:04You deserve better.
00:35:05And let's not forget,
00:35:06I'm the new
00:35:07Maplewood branch
00:35:08manager of
00:35:08Lewis Group,
00:35:09appointed by the
00:35:10CEO of
00:35:11Lewis Group
00:35:11themselves,
00:35:12Ian Lewis.
00:35:14New branch
00:35:15manager, huh?
00:35:17Interesting.
00:35:18Laura Lewis?
00:35:19What are you doing
00:35:20here?
00:35:20Get out of here!
00:35:21You claim to be
00:35:22the mystery guest.
00:35:24Don't play games,
00:35:25Laura.
00:35:26I was formally
00:35:27invited by
00:35:27Lewis Group
00:35:28themselves
00:35:28to the investment
00:35:29meeting.
00:35:30Only the top
00:35:31companies get those.
00:35:33Looks like you're
00:35:34all out of luck.
00:35:35Is that so?
00:35:37Well then,
00:35:38there seems to be
00:35:39a misunderstanding.
00:35:42You see,
00:35:42I'm not sure
00:35:43if you know
00:35:44Ms. Smith,
00:35:45but Lewis Group
00:35:46is my company
00:35:47and I decide
00:35:48who goes to the
00:35:49meetings.
00:35:52Escort them out.
00:35:53Your visit
00:35:54is over.
00:35:56Oh, come on.
00:35:56This way,
00:35:57please.
00:35:58I'm not leaving.
00:36:00Move.
00:36:01We're not leaving
00:36:01again.
00:36:02Move.
00:36:02Oh, no, no, no.
00:36:03We're not going
00:36:03now.
00:36:04Okay, fine, fine.
00:36:05This isn't over,
00:36:06Laura.
00:36:06You'll see.
00:36:10Thanks for waiting,
00:36:11friend.
00:36:13Laura,
00:36:14I'm glad you're
00:36:15okay.
00:36:17And thank you
00:36:19for defending me.
00:36:21I really
00:36:22appreciate it.
00:36:23Are you coming
00:36:27to the meeting?
00:36:29Yes, but
00:36:30it's going to be
00:36:31tricky.
00:36:35Why?
00:36:35I'm sure
00:36:37that Shepard Group
00:36:38got an invitation.
00:36:41Yes,
00:36:43Laura.
00:36:44There's something
00:36:45you should know.
00:36:47Is this about
00:36:49Ben?
00:36:50Ben?
00:36:50Because I can
00:36:51assure you
00:36:52that he won't
00:36:53cause any problems.
00:36:54He won't even
00:36:55get past security.
00:36:56Laura,
00:36:58it's not Ben.
00:37:00It's someone else.
00:37:03Someone's causing
00:37:04problems for Shepard Group?
00:37:05Yes.
00:37:08Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:37:13She is daughter
00:37:14of the Duke family.
00:37:17She's my ex-fiance.
00:37:18She's my ex-fiance.
00:37:18And let's say
00:37:22things didn't
00:37:23end so well
00:37:23between us.
00:37:25And
00:37:26let's just say
00:37:29we didn't
00:37:29end things so well.
00:37:32And for some reason
00:37:33she's having a
00:37:35hard time
00:37:36moving on.
00:37:36And
00:37:38you think
00:37:40that
00:37:41she's going to
00:37:41cause
00:37:42problems at the
00:37:43meeting
00:37:43for
00:37:44out of
00:37:48jealousy?
00:37:51There's a possibility.
00:37:53She's kind of jealous.
00:37:55Well,
00:37:56all the more reason
00:37:58for you to be there.
00:38:00Besides
00:38:00I'll be there too.
00:38:05Laura,
00:38:06would you consider
00:38:09being my guest
00:38:10at the meeting?
00:38:12What?
00:38:13Are you worried
00:38:14that this Chloe
00:38:14is going to cause
00:38:15problems for me too?
00:38:17Maybe a little.
00:38:18But mostly
00:38:19I want to show them
00:38:21we're a team.
00:38:22Well,
00:38:23it's a very
00:38:24kind offer,
00:38:24Mr. Shepard.
00:38:28Laura,
00:38:28I don't care
00:38:33about your best.
00:38:35I just want
00:38:36to be by your side.
00:38:37I think I'm
00:38:38falling for you.
00:38:39Brian.
00:38:43Brian.
00:38:48I
00:38:49I appreciate
00:38:50your honesty
00:38:52and
00:38:52right now
00:38:53I'm just not
00:38:55I
00:38:56I just don't really
00:38:57have romance
00:38:58on my mind
00:38:59right now
00:39:00just with
00:39:00everything going on
00:39:02and going on
00:39:03I just want
00:39:06to be up front
00:39:06and if
00:39:09Glantra is anything
00:39:10you won't
00:39:11face her alone.
00:39:15There's just
00:39:16one thing
00:39:17I do need.
00:39:20What is it?
00:39:22A formal dress.
00:39:23Oh, security.
00:39:37She doesn't belong here.
00:39:38This is a private store.
00:39:40Excuse me.
00:39:41We
00:39:41need some assistance.
00:39:43I'm looking for
00:39:44a very particular dress.
00:39:48Wow.
00:39:49It's
00:39:50beautiful.
00:39:51It is.
00:39:52I'll try
00:39:53this one on.
00:39:54Don't bother
00:39:54with her.
00:39:55She can't afford
00:39:56anything here.
00:39:57She's just a cleaner.
00:39:58She doesn't deserve
00:39:59to shop you.
00:40:00She has no money.
00:40:03Yeah, exactly.
00:40:04I mean,
00:40:04what are you doing here?
00:40:06Can't you just
00:40:06leave me alone?
00:40:07I wouldn't bat an eyelash
00:40:08if you just
00:40:09disappeared.
00:40:10I'm here for
00:40:11retail therapy.
00:40:12Oh, please.
00:40:14This store's
00:40:15for the A-list only.
00:40:16Not some
00:40:17cheapskate like you.
00:40:18This is a woman
00:40:19who barged
00:40:19into my marriage.
00:40:21Hey,
00:40:21show some respect.
00:40:24Typical Laura.
00:40:25Just thinks she can
00:40:25buy anything she wants
00:40:26with someone else's money.
00:40:28I would have asked you,
00:40:29but without me,
00:40:30I'm sure you're
00:40:31already broke.
00:40:32Oh, please.
00:40:33Come on,
00:40:33we'll take the dress.
00:40:34Sir,
00:40:35this particular dress
00:40:36is not for sale.
00:40:38Uh,
00:40:38what do you mean
00:40:39you don't sell it?
00:40:40I want it.
00:40:41name your price.
00:40:42It's not about
00:40:43the price, ma'am.
00:40:44This one was
00:40:45custom-made
00:40:46for Miss Lewis,
00:40:46the Lewis Group heiress.
00:40:48The entire brand
00:40:49belongs to her.
00:40:50This beautiful dress
00:40:51is for display
00:40:52purposes only.
00:40:54It wouldn't suit
00:40:55you anyway, Amber.
00:40:56What are you
00:40:57talking about?
00:40:58Of course it would
00:40:58suit her.
00:40:59It'd fit her just fine.
00:41:00And if it wouldn't
00:41:01fit me,
00:41:01it certainly wouldn't
00:41:02fit your chunky self either.
00:41:04Well,
00:41:05buy in the whole store.
00:41:06Allow me to purchase
00:41:07this dress.
00:41:11Oh, please.
00:41:13Don't you know
00:41:14that this store
00:41:14belongs to Lewis Group?
00:41:16We wouldn't sell it
00:41:17to someone like you.
00:41:18Amber,
00:41:18you're not even
00:41:19a branch manager yet.
00:41:21You don't get to speak
00:41:21on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:41:23Could you
00:41:24please tell me more
00:41:25about this dress?
00:41:26Of course.
00:41:27Uh,
00:41:28it was custom-made
00:41:29for Laura Lewis,
00:41:31heiress to the
00:41:31Lewis Group fortune,
00:41:33hand-stitched in Italy,
00:41:35naturally,
00:41:35and apparently there are
00:41:36many more like it.
00:41:37This would be
00:41:38high-end stores
00:41:40and museums
00:41:41around the world
00:41:42from her private collection.
00:41:43Laura,
00:41:44do you like this dress?
00:41:47Of course.
00:41:48It's custom-made for me.
00:41:50I'm just here
00:41:51to take what's already
00:41:52mine.
00:41:53Oh,
00:41:53you can't be serious.
00:41:54There must be millions
00:41:55of Laura Lewis's
00:41:56out there in the world.
00:41:58Fine, fine.
00:41:59If it's not for sale,
00:42:00can't I at least
00:42:01try it on?
00:42:02It would look
00:42:02incredible on me.
00:42:03Miss,
00:42:04this dress
00:42:05is very delicate.
00:42:07If I may be frank,
00:42:08I don't think
00:42:09this would fit
00:42:10you properly.
00:42:11Are you calling me fat?
00:42:13Actually,
00:42:14on a second thought,
00:42:15why don't we just
00:42:16buy the whole brand?
00:42:18How's that sound?
00:42:19Sir,
00:42:19are you serious?
00:42:20You would just
00:42:21buy the entire brand
00:42:22for one dress?
00:42:24This brand is worth
00:42:25at least $50 million.
00:42:27And to buy it
00:42:28for a waitress?
00:42:30Are you out of your mind?
00:42:32Yes.
00:42:32You see,
00:42:33even if you had the money,
00:42:34they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:42:35Just one second.
00:42:39Yes,
00:42:40this is Brian Shepard,
00:42:41CEO of Shepard Group.
00:42:43I'd like to speak
00:42:44with your head of acquisitions.
00:42:46I'm interested
00:42:46in purchasing
00:42:47your high fashion brand.
00:42:52What?
00:42:55Sorry, sir.
00:42:56That brand is not for sale.
00:42:59You see,
00:42:59if we can't have it,
00:43:01neither can you.
00:43:01Mr. Yates,
00:43:06yes,
00:43:06this is Laura Lewis.
00:43:08I'm calling to discuss
00:43:10the sale of our
00:43:11high-end clothing brand
00:43:12to Shepard Group.
00:43:14Oh, come on.
00:43:16Calling the Lewis family
00:43:17butler won't get you
00:43:18anywhere, sweetie.
00:43:19Exactly.
00:43:20Come on,
00:43:20this is pathetic.
00:43:21You really think
00:43:22this is going to work?
00:43:22It's sad.
00:43:23Excellent.
00:43:24Thank you,
00:43:26Mr. Yates.
00:43:26That's all.
00:43:33Yes?
00:43:38What?
00:43:40Are you willing
00:43:40to sell me the brand?
00:43:44Awesome.
00:43:45Hello?
00:43:50Yes?
00:43:52Wow.
00:43:53Yes, of course.
00:43:55Absolutely.
00:43:58This store,
00:44:00along with the entire brand,
00:44:01has been sold
00:44:02to Mr. Shepard.
00:44:03The Shepard Group
00:44:04is the new owner.
00:44:06How may I be
00:44:06up service today, sir?
00:44:08Well,
00:44:09Lauren,
00:44:10I don't know much
00:44:11about pressure.
00:44:12So I would like
00:44:12to give you
00:44:13this brand to you.
00:44:14You can't be serious.
00:44:16You don't have
00:44:17the kind of money
00:44:17to buy this store.
00:44:18Don't listen to her,
00:44:20Brian.
00:44:21You two just
00:44:23go do whatever
00:44:23you do somewhere else.
00:44:25You're not welcome here.
00:44:26I want the two of these
00:44:27out of my store.
00:44:32I want the two of these
00:44:34out of my store.
00:44:35Of course.
00:44:38Oh, come on.
00:44:39Sir?
00:44:40Ma'am?
00:44:40You're afraid
00:44:41I'll have to ask you
00:44:41to leave?
00:44:42Well, we're not leaving.
00:44:43Okay?
00:44:43Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:45This isn't over, Laura!
00:44:47Could I try
00:44:47the dress on now?
00:44:48Of course,
00:44:49Miss Lewis.
00:44:50You just follow me.
00:44:57Wow.
00:44:59Miss Lewis,
00:45:01this dress really
00:45:02was made for you.
00:45:05Laura,
00:45:06you look
00:45:06breathtaking
00:45:08in this race.
00:45:09Brian,
00:45:10Brian,
00:45:10why would you do
00:45:12all of this
00:45:14for me?
00:45:16All right.
00:45:19Because you deserve
00:45:20everything beautiful
00:45:21in the world.
00:45:23And that includes
00:45:24this dress.
00:45:28Will you give us a chance
00:45:29to see where things
00:45:30could go?
00:45:31I need a moment.
00:45:35Perhaps we could
00:45:36talk some more
00:45:37about this
00:45:37after the investment
00:45:39meeting?
00:45:41Does that mean
00:45:41you could be a yes?
00:45:43Maybe.
00:45:50Hi.
00:45:50Well, well, well.
00:46:05Look who decided
00:46:06to join the party.
00:46:07Playing dress-up again,
00:46:08Laura?
00:46:09One more
00:46:10disrespectful remark
00:46:11towards Laura,
00:46:12Miss Smith.
00:46:12And you understand
00:46:13the meaning of rude.
00:46:15You threatening
00:46:15my girlfriend
00:46:16in front of everyone
00:46:17for this?
00:46:18This gold digger?
00:46:19You know, Ben,
00:46:21I really cared about you
00:46:23even after all
00:46:24the horrible things
00:46:25you said to me
00:46:25after our divorce.
00:46:27I know the name
00:46:27of a great psychologist
00:46:29in New York.
00:46:30Maybe the shrinks
00:46:31in Maplewood
00:46:32aren't equipped
00:46:33to deal with
00:46:35your issues.
00:46:36Enough!
00:46:37I've had enough
00:46:38of this drama.
00:46:39Yeah, me too.
00:46:40Try that again
00:46:41and you'll regret it.
00:46:43Now get the hell
00:46:44on my face.
00:46:46Let's see if you two
00:46:46even make it
00:46:47past the door.
00:46:48Yeah.
00:46:49I'm sorry,
00:46:51Miss Smith,
00:46:52but your name's
00:46:52not on the guest list.
00:46:54What?
00:46:54That's impossible.
00:46:56I was invited
00:46:57by the CEO himself.
00:47:01Unfortunately,
00:47:02neither Harrison Group
00:47:03or Smith Group
00:47:04name is on the list.
00:47:06Looks like you two
00:47:07won't be getting let in
00:47:08after all.
00:47:10You don't have
00:47:10an invitation.
00:47:12You're just here
00:47:12because of Brian.
00:47:13Let me see this.
00:47:18This doesn't even look real.
00:47:19It's different from mine.
00:47:21Why don't you ask her
00:47:22if it's real?
00:47:25This appears to be
00:47:26a VIP invitation
00:47:27from the Vice President.
00:47:31Please, right this way.
00:47:32We can continue
00:47:33this discussion later.
00:47:34If you manage to get in.
00:47:36Sir, Madam,
00:47:41we recommend you leave.
00:47:45There you are!
00:47:46How dare you
00:47:47steal my fiancée!
00:47:51There you are!
00:47:53How dare you
00:47:53steal my fiancée!
00:47:55Looks like another
00:47:56relationship
00:47:56fights the dust, Laura.
00:47:58Looks like stealing men
00:47:59is a habit of yours.
00:48:01Get away from him!
00:48:03He's engaged to me!
00:48:04Hey, hey, hey.
00:48:05Hold your horses, Gwen.
00:48:06That ended
00:48:07a long time ago.
00:48:08Engaged to you.
00:48:10Everyone in Maplewood
00:48:11knows what you did
00:48:13to Brian.
00:48:13Your relationship's
00:48:14history.
00:48:16That was just
00:48:17a little tiff.
00:48:18You really think
00:48:19that could tear us apart?
00:48:21Don't you know
00:48:22who I am?
00:48:24Don't pretend
00:48:24like you don't know.
00:48:26Oh, honey.
00:48:27She don't recognize
00:48:28royalty,
00:48:28let alone a duke.
00:48:29She's just a maid,
00:48:31remember?
00:48:32I don't have time
00:48:32for all this drama.
00:48:35Brian?
00:48:36Let's head inside.
00:48:39Brian!
00:48:40How could you
00:48:40choose this
00:48:41cleaner
00:48:42over me?
00:48:44Are you really
00:48:45going to humiliate me
00:48:46in front of all
00:48:46of Maplewood?
00:48:47There's nothing
00:48:48left to say, Gloria.
00:48:49Don't make this a scene.
00:48:51Shall we?
00:48:58You okay,
00:48:59Miss Duke?
00:49:00And you are?
00:49:01Amber Smith.
00:49:03I'm the Maplewood
00:49:04branch manager
00:49:05of Lewis Group.
00:49:06What branch?
00:49:07I've never heard of it.
00:49:08What do you want
00:49:09from me?
00:49:09That Laura!
00:49:11She tore up
00:49:12my invitation.
00:49:13Do you think
00:49:13you can get me inside?
00:49:14What, your little
00:49:15manager title
00:49:16couldn't get you
00:49:16past the front door?
00:49:18Please,
00:49:19don't waste my time.
00:49:20Go, go, go.
00:49:39I've never heard of it.
00:49:40What is it?
00:49:41What is it,
00:49:41what is it?
00:49:42What is it like?
00:49:43What is it like?
00:49:43What is it like?
00:49:44If I can't have Brian, neither can you. The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:49:59Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.
00:50:02Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:50:05I need your help with something.
00:50:08What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.
00:50:11It's Brian.
00:50:13Who's that woman? I thought you were...
00:50:16She's a con woman. She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:20What? Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:26Well, she's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.
00:50:30What are you planning?
00:50:33I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:50:38Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:42I had no idea she would be so... intense.
00:50:49What do you mean? You so should have taken her up on her offer. I mean, you guys are just... power couple.
00:50:59I see what she's doing. Power couple, you say? More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:51:08Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:51:10Actually, Brian, my seat is... is up there.
00:51:16Really?
00:51:18She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:51:21Excuse me.
00:51:22This is my VIP invitation.
00:51:25I can sit wherever I like.
00:51:27Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:51:29This is signed by all three VPs of Louis Group.
00:51:33Where did you get this?
00:51:35Who did you have to sleep with?
00:51:37That's enough.
00:51:39This is getting us nowhere.
00:51:41Laura is my guest.
00:51:43And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:51:48Got it?
00:51:50Mr. Shepard, what do you see in that woman?
00:51:54Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:51:56She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.
00:52:01What more could you ask for?
00:52:03That's a good question.
00:52:05Not much, actually.
00:52:07Honesty?
00:52:09That's what I want.
00:52:11And love.
00:52:13Things that clearly Chloe has no idea.
00:52:16I said I was sorry.
00:52:18What more do you want?
00:52:20I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:52:22She's like a daughter to me.
00:52:24I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:52:31One more chance, Brian.
00:52:33Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:52:36Do it, Mrs. Shepard.
00:52:38Propose.
00:52:39Right here.
00:52:40Right now.
00:52:42Brian?
00:52:45Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:52:49By forcing a ring on someone?
00:52:52Do it, or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:53:01Don't you dare.
00:53:04You're humiliating yourself.
00:53:06How dare you?
00:53:07Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:53:10Yes.
00:53:13Oh my god.
00:53:16But I can't imagine someone like her interesting in me.
00:53:21The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:53:27Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:29Exactly.
00:53:30This woman is Trevor.
00:53:31She doesn't belong here.
00:53:32Throw her out.
00:53:34You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?
00:53:39Interesting turn of events.
00:53:42Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:53:46Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress Laura Lewis?
00:53:52You know what, maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:53:58How ridiculous.
00:54:00Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:54:02I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow, did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe.
00:54:13You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.
00:54:16That's enough.
00:54:17You don't get to talk here.
00:54:19You got mad, Shepard.
00:54:20You dare to go against Miss Duke.
00:54:22And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:54:24Anyone who insults Laura.
00:54:27Leaves with a black eye.
00:54:29It's willing to defend the Duke for her.
00:54:31What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:33I want to be careful, Brian.
00:54:35Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:54:38Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:54:42The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not Shepard Group.
00:54:52Lewis Group RS?
00:54:54You?
00:54:56Don't make me laugh.
00:54:58Security, remove these two impostors from the premises.
00:55:02Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:55:03Give Brian another chance.
00:55:05Choose, Brian.
00:55:07Me and the future you deserve, or this...
00:55:10Fraught.
00:55:13Chloe.
00:55:15I have everything I ever wanted.
00:55:17Right here.
00:55:19And I wouldn't trade all the power to Duke's home in Maplewood.
00:55:22Fine.
00:55:29Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:30What?
00:55:31You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:35Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:37The Duke family, they can't be serious.
00:55:40Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:42Brian, you don't have to do this for me.
00:55:46Laura, I will never let anyone bully you, let alone them.
00:55:51Thank you, Brian, for believing in me, for protecting me.
00:56:00Now it's my turn to protect you.
00:56:03Listen carefully.
00:56:04I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock at all costs.
00:56:17Don't let it drop even one cent.
00:56:21Do you understand?
00:56:22Wow.
00:56:24Award-winning performance, Laura.
00:56:27But you can't possibly control the stock market.
00:56:30Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:34If the Shepard stock holds for the next five minutes,
00:56:42you owe me a public apology.
00:56:51Deal.
00:56:57Well, looks like your five minutes is up.
00:57:02Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
00:57:08What the?
00:57:10The Shepard Group stock prices?
00:57:12It's going up.
00:57:14This can't be happening. It must be a coincidence.
00:57:22Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
00:57:25There was a huge investment. We couldn't compete.
00:57:28Shepard stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:32How did you do this?
00:57:34Like I said, Chloe,
00:57:37I'm Laura Lewis.
00:57:39No, you're not. You're just some clean-out. You don't have access to billions.
00:57:44Well, I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:48No. I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:52There's no way I'm apologizing to you.
00:57:53If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:57:54Chloe, the truth is, everyone here has seen you be a bully, and a coward, and now a sore loser.
00:58:05This is so humiliating for her. How did she manage that? Maybe she really is a Lewis. Apologize to Miss Lewis.
00:58:22Shut up. Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that. Don't forget, the Duke family owned half of Maplewood.
00:58:35There you go, Elizabeth. Let's get out of here.
00:58:37Hold on. This is where I belong. And that is my chair.
00:58:48You can't go there. That is the VIP section. Only those invited by the Lewis Group Vice Presidents get to sit there.
00:58:56Like I said, Chloe, that's my seat.
00:59:00I had a rumor floating around a few days ago. Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepherd, wasn't it?
00:59:17Are you planning another outburst, Laura? Is this how you charm all your men? Shall we?
00:59:23My pleasure.
00:59:25What are you doing?
00:59:26Let go. It doesn't matter what happens. I choose to stay by Laura's side.
00:59:33Let's go.
00:59:35Don't be absurd. That seat is reserved for a very important guest.
00:59:40Someone so esteemed, even the Vice Presidents have to bow low.
00:59:47And how exactly, Mr. Jones? Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
00:59:56Wait, that's Peter Young, director of business affairs at Lewis Group.
01:00:04Oh, that's Peter Young. He decides which investment is her name.
01:00:06Peter Young, it's Chloe Duke, head of Duke Industries. So glad you could join us.
01:00:11Why is everyone standing around?
01:00:12It's her. She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat. It's embarrassing.
01:00:17That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest. Specifically the family heir. Please get off the stage.
01:00:25Oh yes. Mr. Young? Was it? I think I remember you. You manage my family's investments.
01:00:33Don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:00:38Please get off the stage. That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.
01:00:41I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:00:49I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:00:55This is ridiculous. You, the Lewis heir. Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:01:05You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:01:08Exactly. We ran a background check on her and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.
01:01:14Before that, a cashier in my family's supermarket.
01:01:18See Brian? This is who you've been chasing after. A liar and a cheat.
01:01:23Security! Get this imposter out of here. Everyone here is a witness.
01:01:28Why would any of you trust Laura? If any of you dares to harm her, you have to go through me first.
01:01:37Brian, she's just a nobody. She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.
01:01:44They didn't even want her. What exactly do you see in her?
01:01:47Escort this imposter out of here. Now!
01:01:50I'm Peter.
01:01:59Peter, do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:02:03Mr. Yates, I'm so glad you could join us.
01:02:08Miss Lewis, sorry about the delay and for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:02:13It's no trouble, Mr. Yates. Luckily I haven't been alone.
01:02:18I've had the great company of my very loyal friend.
01:02:24Wait a minute. She's Miss Lewis. Is this a joke?
01:02:28Mr. Young, you're new to the Lewis Group, so I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.
01:02:34But she listened to lies without checking the facts. And almost called the police.
01:02:42Tell me, Mr. Young, who put you up to this?
01:02:47Was it my uncle, Levy and Lewis?
01:02:49I knew it.
01:02:57Consider this your termination.
01:03:00I get it now. This is all an act, right?
01:03:04But, Chloe, what are you doing? We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:03:07Work with them? Are you blind? This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:03:12That's enough, young lady. You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.
01:03:17Oh, Chloe. I can't believe we're going through this again. I think you need some professional help.
01:03:26Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:03:29Chloe, that's enough.
01:03:31It's ridiculous. If you were really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.
01:03:35So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:03:37Show us the ring!
01:03:38Show us the ring! Show us the ring! Show us the ring!
01:03:47Who are you to make demands of me?
01:03:50I don't answer to anyone but myself.
01:03:54I don't need any of your validation.
01:04:00There's a ring.
01:04:01There's a ring.
01:04:05Vice Presidents, I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family. This woman is an imposter.
01:04:11Miss Lewis, we apologize for the delay.
01:04:14How could you just let that con woman sit there? Get her out of here!
01:04:18This seat was always for Miss Lewis.
01:04:21She's the special guest we've been waiting for.
01:04:25The investment queen. The real heir to Lewis Group.
01:04:28Laura Lewis.
01:04:30She has a divorced host wife. A janitor. How can she?
01:04:34She can't be. It's a lie I'm telling you. It's a lie.
01:04:37Do you think we'd lie? We run Lewis Group.
01:04:42Oh, Chloe. You assaulted me earlier.
01:04:46And you came to this meeting to what? Sabotage it.
01:04:51You'll be hearing from our legal team.
01:04:53Is this true, Miss Duke? Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:05:01Yes. It's all true. She fooled us all.
01:05:06The Duke tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewood and control everything themselves.
01:05:12I had no idea. But I'm on your side.
01:05:14I can give you everything you need. All the resources in Maplewood.
01:05:20Miss Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this?
01:05:24An eye for an eye.
01:05:28Since Miss Duke here loves ruining things,
01:05:34I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:05:40I want them bankrupt in ten minutes.
01:05:43You're bluffing.
01:05:45You're nobody. You'll always be a nobody.
01:05:47And you can't touch me.
01:05:49Then consider this a test, Chloe.
01:05:53I didn't need my family's support with Shepard and I certainly don't even know.
01:05:58Chloe, you dug your own grave.
01:06:00You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family with just the Shepard group?
01:06:07Please.
01:06:08Hmm.
01:06:10We'll see.
01:06:16Dad?
01:06:18Slow down. What are you talking about?
01:06:22No.
01:06:24It's impossible.
01:06:25Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:28Years of hard work. Destroyed in minutes.
01:06:34What did you do?
01:06:36Well, Chloe, isn't this what you wanted?
01:06:41To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:06:44This is impossible.
01:06:46It's impossible!
01:06:48Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:50The news is everywhere.
01:06:51Shepard's launched a full scale of SOB on the stock market.
01:06:56They're hammering our shares.
01:06:58Are you sure it's just Shepard's?
01:07:00Yes!
01:07:01Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato.
01:07:05We could go bankrupt.
01:07:07You've ruined everything!
01:07:08Don't worry, Mr. Duke.
01:07:10When your company does go bankrupt, I'll buy it.
01:07:14At a fire sale price, your employees won't even be affected.
01:07:16Brilliant!
01:07:18A masterstroke, Ms. Lewis.
01:07:21Now, this is my event.
01:07:25Please leave.
01:07:27Ryan, I did this for us!
01:07:29Everything I did, I did for us, Brian!
01:07:33Chloe, you need help.
01:07:36These feelings you have for me, it's not love.
01:07:40It's obsession.
01:07:42Enough!
01:07:44If you don't want to ruin everything completely, you'll come with me.
01:07:48Right now.
01:07:50Right now!
01:07:51Right now!
01:08:01Lara! This isn't Arma!
01:08:03Get out of me!
01:08:05What is this?
01:08:07Can you hear me?
01:08:09What is going on here?
01:08:10Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:08:13Shepard Group.
01:08:15They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group for Maplewood.
01:08:18They're handling all future construction projects.
01:08:21That can't be!
01:08:23What about us? That was our project!
01:08:25Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.
01:08:27Harrison Group is practically out.
01:08:29We have no chance.
01:08:31We can't give up that easily.
01:08:33Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as General Manager.
01:08:36In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.
01:08:40If we can just meet with a new heir, we can bypass the Shepards and meet directly with the Lewis Group.
01:08:46We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.
01:08:50That's right.
01:08:51That's right.
01:08:55Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.
01:09:01I'm sure I've met you.
01:09:03Mr. Shepard, finally a pleasure to meet you.
01:09:06We've looked into your company's financial review.
01:09:10Very impressive.
01:09:13Thank you, bud.
01:09:14A large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.
01:09:17No.
01:09:19She practically saved me from disaster.
01:09:21Three times over now.
01:09:23Brian, you can just call me Laura.
01:09:25Ms. Lewis' recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.
01:09:30Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:09:32Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is gone.
01:09:36Seized.
01:09:38A woman like Laura is not easy to buy.
01:09:41Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.
01:09:52Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:09:54Laura?
01:09:55Hardly.
01:09:56I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.
01:10:03So you're Laura's uncle?
01:10:05In the flesh.
01:10:07So Laura really is your niece?
01:10:10Yes, little Laura.
01:10:12She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.
01:10:16Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.
01:10:19I think he was a Harrison.
01:10:21Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side.
01:10:23Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?
01:10:28And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?
01:10:31If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:10:35Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Miss Duke.
01:10:38We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:10:42What if I fail?
01:10:44My family is already ruined.
01:10:46Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say.
01:10:49But if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family will get back everything you've lost.
01:10:57Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side.
01:11:00How can I possibly get the ring?
01:11:02There is a way, you know.
01:11:04That we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly.
01:11:09Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:11:13Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.
01:11:20Laura.
01:11:21It's so good to see you.
01:11:23And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps.
01:11:28How have you been?
01:11:29I've been well, Uncle Ian.
01:11:31Thank you for asking.
01:11:33I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.
01:11:37Yes.
01:11:38Kind of been easy.
01:11:39Indeed, somebody had to.
01:11:41I mean, after you left me with everything to do, without a safe pair of hands, I hate to think it would have happened to the company.
01:11:47Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard, you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.
01:11:57Yes. Minor mistakes. Minor.
01:12:00Don't worry, Uncle Ian. I won't hold it against you.
01:12:03Oh, good.
01:12:05Well, cheers to you coming back here.
01:12:08And the Lewis Group.
01:12:11Oh!
01:12:13I'm so sorry, Laura. How clumsy of me.
01:12:17No, no worries, Uncle Ian. I...
01:12:20I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.
01:12:23Of course.
01:12:25Right away, just down to the left.
01:12:33Use it wisely.
01:12:35Oh, I will.
01:12:40Hey, Laura. How's that?
01:12:53Hello, Brian. Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:12:56Chloe.
01:12:58How in the hell did you get Laura's phone?
01:13:01Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:13:03Listen, Chloe.
01:13:05Don't hurt her. Please.
01:13:08I'll do anything.
01:13:11Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs.
01:13:15Now.
01:13:17Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.
01:13:22Well, you certainly do have your ways.
01:13:28Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up. I am sorry. How clumsy.
01:13:32And don't forget your phone. I retrieved it for you.
01:13:36Lovely to see you again.
01:13:37Yeah. I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.
01:13:41At the banquet.
01:13:44I'll see you then.
01:13:45Will do. Looking forward to it.
01:13:50Laura! Laura! Where are you?
01:13:53Laura!
01:13:55Laura! Where are you?
01:13:58Laura! Laura, where are you?
01:14:01Oh!
01:14:06Gotcha.
01:14:09You weren't expecting that, were you?
01:14:21Finally.
01:14:23Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.
01:14:25What the...
01:14:26Laura, where are you? Laura?
01:14:28Laura?
01:14:29Go shut your mouth.
01:14:31Chloe.
01:14:33What have you done?
01:14:34You out of your mind?
01:14:35Out of my mind!
01:14:37You were the one that left me for that tramp and destroyed my life!
01:14:40That's not true.
01:14:41You were the one who messed up!
01:14:43Ryan!
01:14:44Laura!
01:14:46Stay where you are.
01:14:48You better be not alone.
01:14:49Shut up this knife, Chloe.
01:14:53This is insane!
01:14:54Insane?
01:14:56I did this for us, Brian!
01:14:58We were meant to be together.
01:15:01Us?
01:15:02You've gone crazy!
01:15:03And you're out of here!
01:15:05Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious event.
01:15:09They're gonna lock you up for years!
01:15:11You think I care?
01:15:13About jail time?
01:15:14All I care about is tearing you two apart!
01:15:17You don't deserve him!
01:15:19What have you done?
01:15:21You've destroyed my life!
01:15:23My company, everything!
01:15:26Now I'm gonna destroy your life!
01:15:28Forgive me!
01:15:30Your family ring now!
01:15:32Give it to me!
01:15:33This is about the ring!
01:15:35Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:15:37You know, Chloe?
01:15:40Trying to kill me?
01:15:42That's foolish!
01:15:44Because who do you think is gonna win?
01:15:47You?
01:15:49That little knife?
01:15:50Or...
01:15:52Me?
01:15:54With something a little bit more persuasive.
01:16:04Freeze!
01:16:05Don't move anyone!
01:16:08Don't move!
01:16:10You're about to be arrested for kidnapping!
01:16:13Miss Lewis!
01:16:15Having fun without me?
01:16:17I'm hurt!
01:16:20Are you hurt?
01:16:22No, I'm okay!
01:16:26Tell me, Chloe!
01:16:28Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:16:31Why should I tell you?
01:16:33You're gonna kill me anyway!
01:16:35Chloe, I don't have a problem with you!
01:16:38But if you don't talk,
01:16:40your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:16:44Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:47So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:16:50Talk, or face the consequences.
01:16:53Fine!
01:16:55It was Ian Lewis.
01:16:57He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the bank room today.
01:16:59Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:17:01I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:17:05Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:17:07Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:17:09Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:17:11Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:17:16This is crazy.
01:17:21Are we really sure we can do this?
01:17:23All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:17:25Absolutely.
01:17:27The Lewis Group is under new leadership.
01:17:29We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:31Exactly.
01:17:33We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:17:34There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:35You can introduce us, let's go.
01:17:36Yeah.
01:17:38Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:17:39I'm Amber Smith.
01:17:40We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:42This is Ben Harrison from the Harrison Group.
01:17:43How do you do?
01:17:44We're the company of...
01:17:45Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:47Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:17:50Now look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:17:52Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:17:53Could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:17:57The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:17:59Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:02A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:18:04Would you please take a seat?
01:18:06I'm sorry.
01:18:07I'm sorry.
01:18:08I'm sorry.
01:18:09I'm sorry.
01:18:10I'm sorry.
01:18:11I'm sorry.
01:18:12I'm sorry.
01:18:13I'm sorry.
01:18:14I'm sorry.
01:18:15I'm sorry.
01:18:16I'm sorry.
01:18:17I'm sorry.
01:18:18I'm sorry.
01:18:19I'm sorry.
01:18:20I'm sorry.
01:18:21I'm sorry.
01:18:22I'm sorry.
01:18:23I'm sorry.
01:18:24I'm sorry.
01:18:25This moment takes their place.
01:18:26Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group, Miss Laura Lewis?
01:18:28Look everybody attention.
01:18:29Attention please.
01:18:30There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:18:35I just got notice from a phone call a couple of minutes ago that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:18:45And tragically, she hasn't made it.
01:18:47She has not survived.
01:18:49What? Laura Lewis? Is this dead?
01:18:55It doesn't matter now, she's gone.
01:18:57Mr. Lewis, is this new-
01:18:59A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:19:02But rest assured, the Lewis group will continue under my competent leadership.
01:19:08Hold on! Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:12Laura!
01:19:14I don't understand. What's happening?
01:19:21Laura? But weren't you-
01:19:24My apologies for the delay, everyone. There seems to be some misunderstanding.
01:19:31Laura, what are you doing here? You gotta stop this. If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:19:36I'll save this once. Back off then.
01:19:44Thank you for coming, everyone. As I'm sure you know, tonight, I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis group.
01:19:58Perhaps you could make some room for me. Uncle Ian?
01:20:03Impossible. How are you still alive?
01:20:05Well, clearly I am alive and well, so why don't we get this started?
01:20:10No. You're not the rightful heir. You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:20:18Uncle Ian, is that seriously your art best that you have that I got married too quickly?
01:20:23Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger and left me to work tirelessly keeping the company together.
01:20:31Uncle Ian, retire. Enjoy your retirement. Lewis group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:20:38No. There can only be one heir, and that's me. And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:20:47You think a ring makes an heir. You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:20:54Give that back to me.
01:20:56This?
01:20:57Yes.
01:20:58You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:21:02Give it back.
01:21:03True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you, not some stupid ring.
01:21:12Oh, my ring! What have you done? Where is it?
01:21:18My ring! Oh!
01:21:20Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.
01:21:23How dare you!
01:21:24Now, let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.
01:21:32Talk.
01:21:34Fine. It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:37He said he'd help drinking distress if I kept you away from the banker today.
01:21:40Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr Lewis.
01:21:46Security, escort him out.
01:21:49And Ian, don't fall over.
01:21:52It's all lies. It's all lies! Fakery!
01:21:54It's fake news!
01:21:55The proof is clear! Get him out of here! Now!
01:22:01I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:22:06Turns out, reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:22:12Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr Shepherd by my side.
01:22:19And he has been a great support.
01:22:22Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:22:28I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:22:35Shepard Group.
01:22:36What?
01:22:37What?
01:22:39Laura, hold on.
01:22:41This was never my idea. This was all Cathy and Amber's fault.
01:22:44I don't want a divorce.
01:22:46What? Then what are you saying? You came to me first!
01:22:49Classic Ben. Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.
01:22:56Just don't shut Harrison Group out. Just give me another chance.
01:23:00How could I shut you out?
01:23:02I'm just a cleaner, remember?
01:23:04I'm just a useless housewife.
01:23:07I don't have that power.
01:23:10What are you talking about? What? No, come on! Sorry, no, please, no!
01:23:12Um, Mr Shepherd?
01:23:17Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:23:19I was wondering if...
01:23:22Maybe you wanted to grab dinner.
01:23:24Sometime.
01:23:27On me.
01:23:29Miss Lewis.
01:23:33I would love to.
01:23:42Wm.
