00:00:00What the hell is going on here?
00:00:03What are you doing?
00:00:05You 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 Lucy. 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!
00:00:27We are the Harrisons. You can't just walk in here and take her.
00:00:31Just get out!
00:00:36Because we deserve everything you're out of the world.
00:00:39Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:00:45No, listen, that's enough.
00:00:47I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:00:49It's my turn to protect you.
00:00:53Well, you certainly do have your ways.
00:00:57You're out of your mind?
00:00:59You're out of my mind. Give it to me!
00:01:01She has not survived.
00:01:08Are you ready to play a game, Ryan?
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.
00:01:38They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:01:41Sir, what are our next steps?
00:01:44Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunchtime.
00:01:57Hey, this is a private...
00:01:59Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on to cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:02:03Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years?
00:02:08Mr. Shepard, that's impressive.
00:02:10But losing your cool over a little market turbulence?
00:02:16That seems out of character for you.
00:02:18Do I know you?
00:02:21Wait, 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?
00:02:34Mr. Shepard, running a 10.
00:02:35It's failing!
00:02:36The price is holding!
00:02:38Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:02:45We met before.
00:02:47They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:02:50Hold on. Tell 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, give me a five now.
00:03:11Mr. Yates?
00:03:22What? 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.
00:03:53Ma'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.
00:04:07For my sake.
00:04:18Divorce papers. Sign it.
00:04:25Why?
00:04:26If you are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:04:29The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract with the Shepard 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.
00:04:47I secured that $100 million contract.
00:04:50And 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.
00:05:07What are you doing here?
00:05:09Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:05:13Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:05:17Local royalty.
00:05:19A 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.
00:05:28Doesn't it, Ben?
00:05:30What's going on?
00:05:34Is this why you want a divorce?
00:05:36Because of her?
00:05:37Oh, please.
00:05:38I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:05:41You're still a cleaner.
00:05:42We just grew apart, that's all.
00:05:44Grown apart?
00:05:47No.
00:05:48No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:05:54I won't sign anything.
00:05:57Huh.
00:05:58Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:06:00Ben.
00:06:02All right.
00:06:03Here.
00:06:04$100,000.
00:06:05Open up a small shop or something.
00:06:07$100,000.
00:06:09I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:06:16Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:06:18Don't be ridiculous.
00:06:20You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:06:23This is our act of charity, Jordan.
00:06:25Here.
00:06:26A million dollars.
00:06:27Take this.
00:06:28You just want our money, don't you?
00:06:30Just 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.
00:06:44A cleaning lady threatening us?
00:06:47I'm so scared.
00:06:49Just leave.
00:06:50You already make this house stink.
00:06:59Nick, how she's gone?
00:07:00Go to a written store.
00:07:03Sir?
00:07:06Laura Lewis' information.
00:07:11She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:07:13No wonder why she wanted us to partner with them.
00:07:16Actually, sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:07:19Divorced her?
00:07:22Wait a minute.
00:07:23Don't you remember?
00:07:25She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:07:30Yeah.
00:07:30She saved our hiding there.
00:07:32Remember?
00:07:34Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:07:39I don't know.
00:07:41Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:07:46Hey!
00:07:46What are you doing?
00:07:47Let go of me!
00:07:48You attacked Amber!
00:07:49You attacked Amber!
00:07:50Apologize this instant!
00:07:54Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:07:56We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:07:58You refused it.
00:07:59And now you're stealing!
00:08:01She couldn't afford it.
00:08:02You're a thief!
00:08:03That's mine!
00:08:04That's mine!
00:08:11Give him back!
00:08:12Wait!
00:08:12Wait!
00:08:12Wait!
00:08:12What's it not?
00:08:13I 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.
00:08:25You see, it's...
00:08:26Who are you?
00:08:28Boris New Squeeze.
00:08:30Excuse me.
00:08:31Do you know who I am?
00:08:32Is this true?
00:08:33You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:08:36Shame on you!
00:08:37Mr. Shepard, I...
00:08:38For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:08:42I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:08:44Oh, please.
00:08:45A 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!
00:08:58He doesn't look like that.
00:09:00My ring.
00:09:01Jason, give it back to me, Seavis.
00:09:02Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:09:05Yeah.
00:09:05Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:09:09Now.
00:09:10Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:09:11Who the heck is this man?
00:09:12Have you been sneaking around?
00:09:14It's all right, ma'am.
00:09:16This is none of your business.
00:09:17All rabbed dead bodies.
00:09:19You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.
00:09:22We are the Harrisons.
00:09:24You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:09:26Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:09:29Now go back.
00:09:30What?
00:09:31Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:09:33That's a lie.
00:09:33Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.
00:09:36You come back here and explain yourself.
00:09:38Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.
00:09:42Laura, 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.
00:10:01The event will proceed.
00:10:04Besides, I'll be there.
00:10:09There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:10:12Who are you, truly?
00:10:14You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.
00:10:17Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:10:23Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're going to have a meeting.
00:10:32An investment meeting.
00:10:34One week from today.
00:10:36Make sure everyone is there.
00:10:39Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:10:47Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:10:49I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:10:51Ben Harrison.
00:10:55You'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!
00:11:16Get that woman out of here!
00:11:18We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:11:20Why wouldn't I be here?
00:11:22This is a business event, after all.
00:11:24Business?
00:11:25You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:11:28A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:11:31Just get out!
00:11:32Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:11:36You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:11:38Oh, Ben.
00:11:39Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:11:43Laura, this is really important for me.
00:11:45Do not ruin this, okay?
00:11:46You don't belong here.
00:11:49Just get out!
00:11:50Oh.
00:11:55That's what you get.
00:11:56Oh.
00:11:56This contract is mine to give or take away as I see fit.
00:12:07Don't be ridiculous.
00:12:09This is insane.
00:12:10Who do you think you are?
00:12:11Yeah, put that down.
00:12:12You have no idea what you're doing.
00:12:13Security, she's lost a mind.
00:12:16This is a disaster.
00:12:18Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't
00:12:25deserve it, I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:12:38It's, it's really no, no worries, Mr. Shepard, but, um, I'm just going through a divorce.
00:12:57You see, it's, uh...
00:12:58Who are you?
00:12:59Laura's new squeeze.
00:13:01Excuse me.
00:13:02Do you know who I am?
00:13:03Is this true?
00:13:04You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:13:07Shame on you!
00:13:08Mr. Shepard, I...
00:13:09For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:13:13I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:13:15Oh, please.
00:13:16A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.

00:13:27That's ridiculous.
00:13:29He doesn't look like that.
00:13:31My ring.
00:13:32Jason, give it back to Miss Lewis.
00:13:33Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:13:35Yeah.
00:13:38Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:13:40Now.
00:13:41Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:13:42Who the heck is this man?
00:13:43Have you been sneaking around?
00:13:45It's all right, ma'am.
00:13:47This is none of your business.
00:13:49I'll grab dead bodies.
00:13:50You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on.
00:13:53We are the Harrisons.
00:13:55You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:13:57Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:14:00Now go back.
00:14:01What?
00:14:02Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:14:04That's a lie.
00:14:05Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.
00:14:07You come back here and explain yourself.

00:15:40Only after then, my darling, we can get married.

00:16:39Don't be ridiculous, this is insane!
00:16:41Who do you think you are?
00:16:43Yeah, put that down.
00:16:43You have no idea what you're doing.
00:16:45Security!
00:16:46She's lost a mind!
00:16:48This 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?
00:17:25You're so silly, Laura.
00:17:27Oh, please, honey.
00:17:28You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:17:31Security!
00:17:31Get 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,
00:17:41I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the shepherds.
00:17:46You really think that the shepherd group and I
00:17:48could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:17:51You have no authority here.
00:17:52Of course she has the authority.
00:17:55That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:18:03What is he doing here?
00:18:04Mr. Shepard?
00:18:05How does he know her?
00:18:06Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:18:08Laura, are you all right?
00:18:12Mr. Shepard, I can assure you,
00:18:14I don't even know this woman.
00:18:15There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:18:17There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:19This contract with Shepard Group is officially terminated.
00:18:25Effective immediately.
00:18:27Wait a minute.
00:18:29This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:18:30It's her.
00:18:32She ruined the contract.
00:18:34You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:18:35An affair?
00:18:36Yeah.
00:18:36She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:18:41Mom, please.
00:18:42It's okay.
00:18:42This man is...
00:18:43Don't touch me.
00:18:45That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone,
00:18:48has an affair,
00:18:49and you just stand there?
00:18:50You're a disgrace.
00:18:51An adulterer.
00:18:52You deserve to be arrested.
00:18:53Shut up!
00:18:56Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess,
00:18:59but I can assure you,
00:19:00this woman has tricked you.
00:19:02Tricked?
00:19:04Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?
00:19:08What was my name before we got married?
00:19:12Laura Lewis, right?
00:19:14Lewis Group?
00:19:15The Financial Giants?
00:19:17There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:19:22That's crazy.
00:19:23There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:19:26That's absurd.
00:19:27It's...
00:19:28It's...
00:19:29It's absurd!
00:19:31A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:19:35Yeah.
00:19:35Yeah, it's a lie.
00:19:37It's a lie.
00:19:37This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:19:39In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:19:43She's nothing special.
00:19:44She only married me out of gratitude.
00:19:46I was just a waitress.
00:19:49How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:19:51First time I met her,
00:19:53she was indeed a waitress at the diner.
00:19:55Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:19:56When I met her,
00:19:58I'd only just started my business.
00:20:00Mm-hmm.
00:20:00Now look at me.
00:20:01I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:20:04And look at her.
00:20:05Still just a cleaner.
00:20:06Mr. Shepard.
00:20:08That woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:20:10She's doing all this out of spite.
00:20:12She's lying, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:14She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:20:17Let's make something clear.
00:20:22I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:20:25I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:20:32Don't lie.
00:20:34You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:20:36Oops.
00:20:37That roof was built with lies.
00:20:40Kathy, you never respected me.
00:20:43And Ben?
00:20:44Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:20:47And the cheating.
00:20:49I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:20:53You were not good enough for Ben then,
00:20:55and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:20:57If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story,
00:21:02then the truth, Kathy.
00:21:04Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:21:07From everything.
00:21:13Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:21:14Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:21:17And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:21:18I don't think so.
00:21:19You're a cleaner.
00:21:21You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:21:23Nobody cares about you.
00:21:24Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:21:29I don't need a fancy title.
00:21:32Or a rich husband to feel important.
00:21:37I think there's been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:21:40I think all jobs are important.
00:21:42Right, Mom?
00:21:43Ben, what are you doing?
00:21:44But I don't think that a janitor
00:21:47should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:21:50A janitor.
00:21:51Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:21:59You 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.
00:22:08This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:22:12I, but, well...
00:22:14A lie, you're saying?
00:22:16Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:22:20But I don't recognize you.
00:22:22Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:22:26Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:22:29This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:22:33But the contract, I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:22:36So, can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:22:41Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:22:44Perhaps you haven't been paying attention.
00:22:46Without Miss Lewis involved,
00:22:48I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:22:55Today, I want to make it clear.
00:22:58Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:23:02Miss Smith, you lied to us.
00:23:07You destroyed everything.
00:23:09What?
00:23:10No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:23:11I can explain.
00:23:13Lewis?
00:23:14Lewis Family Group?
00:23:16This can't be.
00:23:17Believe what you want, Ben.
00:23:20Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:23:24Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:23:29And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:23:36Everyone, listen to me.
00:23:38Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
00:23:43A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.
00:23:50The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:23:52Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:23:56Miss Lewis?
00:23:57Shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:24:05Someone get a doctor.
00:24:07Help!
00:24:08Mom!
00:24:08Someone get a doctor!
00:24:10Mom!
00:24:10It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:24:17Indeed.
00:24:18Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:24:24Okay.
00:24:27What?
00:24:28What now?
00:24:33Mom, this is not all on me.
00:24:36Not on you!
00:24:37I was trying to help.
00:24:39She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:24:41Flaunted their affair.
00:24:43Exactly.
00:24:44And those dresses?
00:24:46Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:24:49Miss Smith.
00:24:49How could you do this?
00:24:51We trusted you completely.
00:24:53No, no.
00:24:55I got Ben the deal.
00:24:57I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.
00:25:00She's a liar.
00:25:02Oh, stop it, Amber.
00:25:03You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:25:06Lied?
00:25:07You're on my side.
00:25:08And anyways, I have a plan.
00:25:11The Shepards are no one special.
00:25:14We can expose Laura in all her lies.
00:25:16Go 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.
00:25:25Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:25:33Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:25:35It's all right, Laura.
00:25:37You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:25:39Can I ask you something?
00:25:40Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:25:42Maybe a hotel?
00:25:43Don't.
00:25:44Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:25:46I'll be fine.
00:25:48Excuse me, you can just drop me off.
00:25:49Actually, Laura.
00:25:50Actually, Laura.
00:25:52There is something else.
00:25:53Would you consider going out for dinner sometime?
00:25:56Just casually, of course.
00:25:58Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:26:02Please, 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?
00:26:21Laura, Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:26:27Tonight, 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.
00:26:40I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:26:46I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't.
00:26:50Wait, Laura.
00:26:50Just here is fine.
00:26:54Laura?
00:27:00Laura, who is it?
00:27:02Laura, wait!
00:27:03Jason, find out who owns that car, and do it fast.
00:27:15Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:27:18It's Amber Smith.
00:27:19Mr. Lewis?
00:27:21I'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?
00:27:41And where is this fake Laura?
00:27:44Right here in Maplewood.
00:27:47And 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.
00:28:17Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:28:19Thank 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 bubbler.
00:28:39Oh.
00:28:40Lewis family?
00:28:42That's interesting.
00:28:44Could 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.
00:29:04It was just one teensy mistake.
00:29:07I was...
00:29:08I was a little bit tipsy.
00:29:10Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:29:12Teensy mistake, you say?
00:29:14You cheated on me.
00:29:15Is this your new fling?
00:29:16Ex-divorcey.
00:29:16Used a clean floor.
00:29:17It's quite the catch, aren't you saying?
00:29:18Look, my relationship with her is none of your business and don't you dare talk about her
00:29:33like that.
00:29:34Please.
00:29:35An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman, it's a classic
00:29:41story.
00:29:42That's enough.
00:29:43I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:29:45You want to be careful, Brian.
00:29:48Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:29:51If you want Shepherd Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.
00:29:59Seems 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, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:30:16I'll go speak with them first and then I'll introduce you.
00:30:18Well, well, well, look who it is.
00:30:23What a surprise.
00:30:24Did Brian teach you already?
00:30:26That's none of your business.
00:30:29Now, 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, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:30:43Oh, the nerve.
00:30:45After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate
00:30:48them too?
00:30:49Seriously?
00:30:51I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:30:55Oh, that's gold.
00:30:58You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?
00:31:00Please, 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.
00:31:08And you, idiot, believing every lie that she tells you, wake up, Ben.
00:31:15Oh, Laura.
00:31:16Laura, come on.
00:31:17Why do you always pull this on me?
00:31:19I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:31:23I know what this is.
00:31:25That's so stupid.
00:31:26Oh, 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.
00:31:35Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.
00:31:38And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:31:42Oh, before you all start celebrating, why 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?
00:32:04You mean my uncle?
00:32:06Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:32:09Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:32:13And besides, this looks fake.
00:32:16She's a liar.
00:32:19This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.
00:32:23It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which 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?
00:32:38Not that I know of.
00:32:40See?
00:32:41She's lying.
00:32:42There you have it, Laura.
00:32:44Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:32:46Go on.
00:32:47Get lost before things get worse.
00:32:49Here.
00:32:52Take this one.
00:32:53Lead me to the vice president's.
00:32:55You have no idea what you just did.
00:32:59There be consequences.
00:33:03Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have, why don't
00:33:10you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?
00:33:14Security.
00:33:15Security.
00:33:16We 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.
00:33:22What?
00:33:23Hold on.
00:33:24Brian Shepard?
00:33:27You 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.
00:33:43We 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.
00:33:52An affair?
00:33:54You think Laura and I?
00:33:56You people are unbelievable.
00:34:01Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP.
00:34:04We have a situation.
00:34:05What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?
00:34:08Is that it?
00:34:09We'll 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.
00:34:24Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.
00:34:27A cleaner?
00:34:28Nonsense.
00:34:29I personally greeted Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:34:33Exactly.
00:34:35Lewis Group, my company,
00:34:39has 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 Shepard Group.
00:35:02No.
00:35:03It's a lie.
00:35:04Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too.
00:35:09You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.
00:35:15Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?
00:35:19Wait.
00:35:20Is that why you're covering for her?
00:35:21Huh?
00:35:22Because of the affair?
00:35:23Because she slept with you?
00:35:24Excuse me.
00:35:25Who are you?
00:35:26And how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:35:28Enough of this.
00:35:29That's enough.
00:35:30Having you embarrass yourself enough.
00:35:31This is Lewis Group property.
00:35:33Behave or I'll call security.
00:35:35But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access.
00:35:38She shouldn't be here.
00:35:40Since you're having trouble understanding, Ben, let me make it clear.
00:35:45This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.
00:35:48It's mine to come or go as I please.
00:35:54Thank you for stepping in, Brian.
00:35:59I owe you one.
00:36:01We'll talk about this later.
00:36:03Well, it seems that divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harrison.
00:36:15Kamil!
00:36:16Excuse me, Vice Presidents.
00:36:20I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.
00:36:25I 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 Lew- Mr. Lewis reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:36:47Oh, expansion 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-
00:37:02Miss Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.
00:37:05Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff?
00:37:08Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local-
00:37:11Miss Smith, we'd like you to leave.
00:37:13If you don't, we'll call security.
00:37:20Hey.
00:37:21Stop there.
00:37:22This elevator is a VIP only.
00:37:24Back, please.
00:37:25Of course.
00:37:26My apologies.
00:37:32Laura?
00:37:34Vice President, it's so good to see all of you again.
00:37:41Miss Lewis, it'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, a big one, in just a few days.
00:38:09Local powerhouses and smaller players, too.
00:38:13They'll all be there in one spot.
00:38:15Miss 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.
00:38:28Did 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, it's unbelievable.
00:38:37Well, don't worry.
00:38:39I 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?
00:38:53So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:38:57Oh, don't worry about Amber.
00:39:01I've got plans for her.
00:39:04Miss Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the meeting.
00:39:12From us.
00:39:14Cheers.
00:39:15Cheers.
00:39:25You too, go.
00:39:26No, I'm not leaving.
00:39:27What are you talking about?
00:39:28Wait!
00:39:29I'm Amber Smith.
00:39:30I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch.
00:39:31What 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.
00:39:39Lewis Group, Maplewood branch.
00:39:40No such thing, ma'am.
00:39:41And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:39:44Oh, of 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.
00:39:52You underestimate her, Cathy.
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.
00:40:00Both of you.
00:40:02Accusations like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:40:07Look who can't even get into a meeting, whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.
00:40:12And 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.
00:40:21I don't mind being helpful.
00:40:24You're so stupid.
00:40:25She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:40:28Don't worry, Brian.
00:40:29You deserve better.
00:40:30And 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.
00:40:40New branch manager, huh?
00:40:42Interesting.
00:40:44Laura Lewis?
00:40:45What 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.
00:40:52I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:40:56Only the top companies get those.
00:40:58Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:41:01Is that so?
00:41:03Well 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?
00:41:20Their visit is over.
00:41:21Oh, come on.
00:41:22This way, please.
00:41:23I'm not leaving.
00:41:25Move.
00:41:26We're not leaving again.
00:41:27Move.
00:41:28No, no.
00:41:29We're not going now.
00:41:30Okay, bye, bye.
00:41:31This isn't over, Laura.
00:41:32You'll see.
00:41:35Thanks for waiting, Lynn.
00:41:38Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:41:42And thank you for defending me.
00:41:46I really appreciate it.
00:41:49Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:41:54Yes, but it's gonna be tricky.
00:42:00Why?
00:42:01I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:42:03Yes.
00:42:04Laura.
00:42:05There's something you should know.
00:42:06Is...
00:42:07Is this about Ben?
00:42:08Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.
00:42:09He won't even get past security.
00:42:10Laura.
00:42:11It's not Ben.
00:42:12It's someone else.
00:42:13Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:42:14Yes.
00:42:15Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:42:17She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:42:18She's my ex-fiancee.
00:42:20And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:42:22Oh, no.
00:42:23No.
00:42:24No.
00:42:25No.
00:42:26No.
00:42:27No.
00:42:28No.
00:42:29No.
00:42:30No.
00:42:31No.
00:42:32No.
00:42:33No.
00:42:34No.
00:42:35No.
00:42:36No.
00:42:37No.
00:42:38No.
00:42:39No.
00:42:40No.
00:42:41No.
00:42:42No.
00:42:43No.
00:42:44No.
00:42:45No.
00:42:46No.
00:42:47No.
00:42:48No.
00:42:49No.
00:42:50No.
00:42:51No.
00:42:52No.
00:42:53No.
00:42:54No.
00:42:55No.
00:42:56No.
00:42:57No.
00:42:58No.
00:42:59No.
00:43:00No.
00:43:01No.
00:43:02No.
00:43:03No.
00:43:04No.
00:43:05No.
00:43:06No.
00:43:07No.
00:43:08No.
00:43:09No.
00:43:10No.
00:43:11No.
00:43:12No.
00:43:13No.
00:43:14No.
00:43:15No.
00:43:16No.
00:43:17No.
00:43:18No.
00:43:19Well, all the more reason for you to be there.
00:43:25Besides, I'll be there too.
00:43:30Laura, would you consider being a guest at the meeting?
00:43:36What? Are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too?
00:43:41Maybe a little. But mostly, I want to show them we're your team.
00:43:47Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepherd. Thank you.
00:43:52Laura, I don't care about your best. I just want to be by your side.
00:44:02I think I'm falling for you.
00:44:05Brian, I appreciate your honesty and 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 and...
00:44:27It's okay. I just want to be upfront.
00:44:31And if Chloe tries anything, you won't face her alone.
00:44:36There's just one thing I do need.
00:44:43What is it?
00:44:45A formal dress.
00:44:47A formal dress.
00:45:00Ah, security! She doesn't belong here. This is a private store.
00:45:04Excuse me. We need some assistance. I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:45:10Wow. It's beautiful.
00:45:15It is.
00:45:16I'll try this one on.
00:45:18Don't bother with her. She can't afford anything here. She's just a cleaner.
00:45:23She doesn't deserve to shop here. She has no money.
00:45:27Yeah, exactly. I mean, what are you doing here? Can't you just leave me alone?
00:45:31I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared. I'm here for retail therapy.
00:45:36Oh, please. This store is for the A-list only. Not some cheapskate like you.
00:45:42Says the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:45:44Hey, show some respect.
00:45:46Oh, wow. Typical Laura. Just 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. Come on. We'll take the dress.
00:45:58Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:46:01Uh, what do you mean you don't sell it? I want it. Name your price.
00:46:06It's not about the price, ma'am. This one was custom made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress.
00:46:11The entire brand belongs to her. This beautiful dress is for display purposes only. Thank you.
00:46:18It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:46:20What are you talking about? Of course it would suit her. It'd fit her just fine.
00:46:23And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:46:27Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.
00:46:35Oh, please. Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group? We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:46:40Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet. You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:46:45Could you please tell me more about this dress?
00:46:49Of course. Uh, it was custom made for Laura Lewis, heiress to the Lewis Group fortune.
00:46:55Hand stitched in Italy, naturally. 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. It's custom made for me. I'm just here to take what's already mine.
00:47:15Oh, you can't be serious. There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.
00:47:20Fine, fine. If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on? It would look incredible on me.
00:47:26Miss, this dress is very delicate. If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:47:34Are you calling me fat?
00:47:35Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand? How's that sound?
00:47:42Sir, are you serious? You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:47:47This brand is worth at least 50 million dollars. And to buy it for a waitress? Are you out of your mind?
00:47:54Yes. You 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, CEO of Shepherd Group. I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:48:08I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.
00:48:14What?
00:48:17Sorry, sir. That brand is not for sale.
00:48:21You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.
00:48:24Mr. Yates, yes, this is Laura Lewis. I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepherd Group.
00:48:37Oh, come on. Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:48:41Exactly. Come on, this is pathetic. You really think this is going to work? It's sad.
00:48:45Excellent. Thank you, Mr. Yates, that's all.
00:48:54Yes.
00:48:56Yes?
00:49:00What?
00:49:02Are you willing to submit the brand?
00:49:06Awesome. Thank you.
00:49:11Hello?
00:49:13Yes.
00:49:15Wow, yes, of course.
00:49:17Absolutely.
00:49:20The store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepherd.
00:49:26The Shepherd Group is the new owner. How 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. You 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. I 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?
00:50:02Am I afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:50:03Well, we're not leaving, okay?
00:50:05Hey, hey, hey!
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.
00:50:19Wow.
00:50:21Miss Lewis.
00:50:23This 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?
00:50:38Laura.
00:50:41Because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.
00:50:45And that includes this dress.
00:50:50Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:50:54I...
00:50:55I 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?
00:51:02Maybe.
00:51:03Hi.
00:51:04Hi.
00:51:05Hi.
00:51:07What?
00:51:08Well, well, well.
00:51:09Look who decided to join the party.
00:51:10Playing dress up again, Laura.
00:51:11One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:51:13And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:51:14You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?
00:51:15For this.
00:51:16This gold digger.
00:51:17You know, Ben.
00:51:18I really cared about you.
00:51:19Even after all the horrible things you said to me afterwards.
00:51:20What?
00:51:21What?
00:51:22What?
00:51:23What?
00:51:24What?
00:51:25What?
00:51:26What?
00:51:27What?
00:51:28What?
00:51:29What?
00:51:30What?
00:51:31What?
00:51:32What?
00:51:33Am I not tried wrong, Laura.
00:51:34Can you say I do my own thing for me as well?
00:51:37And you understand the meaning of rude?
00:51:39Are you threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?
00:51:40For this.
00:51:41This gold digger.
00:51:42You know Ben?
00:51:43I really cared about you.
00:51:45Even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:51:49I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:51:52Maybe the schrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:51:58Enough!
00:51:59I've had enough of this drama.
00:52:00Yeah, me too.
00:52:01Ah, try that again.
00:52:03And 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.
00:52:13But your name's not on the guest list.
00:52:15What?
00:52:16That's impossible.
00:52:18I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:52:22Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group.
00:52:25Your name is on the list.
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.
00:52:56Sir.
00:52:57Madam.
00:52:58We recommend you leave.
00:53:02There you are!
00:53:03How dare you steal my fiance!
00:53:06There you are!
00:53:07How dare you steal my fiance!
00:53:08There you are!
00:53:13How dare you steal my fiance!
00:53:15Looks like another relationship bites the dust, Laura.
00:53:18Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours.
00:53:21Get away from him!
00:53:23He's engaged to me!
00:53:24Hey, hey, hey.
00:53:25Hold your horses going.
00:53:26That ended a long time ago.
00:53:28Engage to you.
00:53:30Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:53:34Your relationship's history.
00:53:37That was just a little tiff.
00:53:38You really think that could tear us apart?
00:53:41Don't you know who I am?
00:53:42Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:53:45Oh, honey.
00:53:47She don't recognize 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?
00:53:57Let's head inside.
00:53:59Brian!
00:54:01How could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:54:04Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:54:08There's nothing left to say, Gloria.
00:54:09Don't make this a scene.
00:54:10Shall we?
00:54:17You okay, Miss Duke?
00:54:19And you are?
00:54:21Amber Smith.
00:54:23I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:54:26What branch? I've never heard of it.
00:54:27What do you want from me?
00:54:29That Laura!
00:54:31She tore up my invitation.
00:54:32Do you think you can get me inside?
00:54:34What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:54:38Please don't waste my time.
00:54:40I think I will be in the back of your office.
00:54:41I am a doctor, and I am a doctor.
00:54:45I want to go to the center of the office.
00:54:46Who knows who has not been in here?
00:54:47Who knows?
00:54:48Who knows who has not been in here?
00:54:49I am a doctor.
00:54:50I'm a doctor.
00:54:52I am a doctor.
00:54:53I'm a doctor.
00:54:55I don't know.
00:54:56I don't know why she is.
00:54:57If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:55:15The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:55:18Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.
00:55:22Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:55:23Good.
00:55:24I need your help with something.
00:55:27What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.
00:55:31It's Brian.
00:55:33Who's that woman? I thought you were...
00:55:35She's a con woman. She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:55:40What? Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:55:46Well, she's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.
00:55:50What are you planning?
00:55:52I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:55:57Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:56:01I had no idea she would be so...
00:56:05intense.
00:56:07What do you mean?
00:56:09What do you mean?
00:56:10You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:56:13I mean, you guys are just a power couple.
00:56:17I see what you're doing.
00:56:19Power couple, you say?
00:56:21More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:56:25Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:56:29Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:56:33It's up there.
00:56:35Really?
00:56:36She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:56:39Excuse me.
00:56:40This is my VIP invitation.
00:56:42I can sit wherever I like.
00:56:45Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:56:47This is signed by all three VPs of Louis Group.
00:56:50Where did you get this?
00:56:52Who did you have to sleep with?
00:56:54That's enough.
00:56:55This is getting us nowhere.
00:56:57Laura is my guest.
00:56:58And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:57:03Got it?
00:57:04Mr. Shepard, what do you see in that woman?
00:57:08Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:57:11She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.
00:57:15What more could you ask for?
00:57:17That's a good question.
00:57:19Not much actually.
00:57:26Honesty.
00:57:28That's what I want.
00:57:30And love.
00:57:32Things that clearly, Chloe has no idea.
00:57:35I said I was sorry.
00:57:37What more do you want?
00:57:39I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:57:41She's like a daughter to me.
00:57:43I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:57:49One more chance, Brian.
00:57:51Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:57:54Do it, Mr. Shepard.
00:57:56Propose right here, right now.
00:57:59Brian?
00:58:01Well, is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:58:07By forcing a ring on someone?
00:58:10Do it, or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:58:16Don't you dare.
00:58:17You're humiliating yourself.
00:58:18How dare you?
00:58:19Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:58:20Yes.
00:58:21I like her.
00:58:22But I can't imagine someone like her interesting in me.
00:58:37The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:58:44Why would you choose someone like her?
00:58:48Exactly.
00:58:49This woman is trouble.
00:58:50She doesn't belong here.
00:58:51Throw her out.
00:58:52You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?
00:58:57Interesting 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, that you're the missing heiress Laura Lewis?
00:59:11You know what, maybe you're right Chloe.
00:59:16Ridiculous.
00:59:17Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:59:20I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow, did I underestimate your foolishness Chloe.
00:59:30You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.
00:59:33That's enough.
00:59:34You don't get to talk here.
00:59:36You got much effort.
00:59:37You dare to go against Miss Duke.
00:59:39And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:59:41Anyone who insults Laura.
00:59:44Leave us with a black eye.
00:59:46It's willing to defend the Duke 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?
00:59:59The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone.
01:00:03Especially not Shepard Group.
01:00:09Lewis Group RS?
01:00:11You?
01:00:12Don't make me laugh.
01:00:14Security!
01:00:15Remove these two impostors from the premises.
01:00:18Wait, Uncle Jones.
01:00:20Give Brian another chance.
01:00:22Choose, Brian.
01:00:24Me and the future you deserve.
01:00:26Or this...fraught.
01:00:30Chloe.
01:00:31I have everything I ever wanted.
01:00:34Right here.
01:00:35And I wouldn't trade for all the power the Duke's holding member would.
01:00:39Fine.
01:00:41Fine.
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.
01:00:56They can't be serious.
01:00:57Shepard Group is doomed.
01:00:59Brian.
01:01:01You don't have to do this for me.
01:01:04Laura.
01:01:05I will never let anyone bully you.
01:01:08Let alone them.
01:01:10Brian.
01:01:11For...
01:01:13For believing in me.
01:01:14For...
01:01:16Protecting me.
01:01:18Now it's my turn.
01:01:20To protect you.
01:01:27Listen carefully.
01:01:28I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.
01:01:32At all costs.
01:01:34Don't let it drop even one cent.
01:01:39Do you understand?
01:01:41Well...
01:01:42Award winning performance, Laura.
01:01:45But you can't possibly control the stock market.
01:01:47Okay.
01:01:48Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
01:01:52If...
01:01:54The Shepard stock holds...
01:01:57For the next five minutes...
01:02:01You owe me a public apology.
01:02:04Deal.
01:02:05Well...
01:02:06Looks like your five minutes is up.
01:02:19Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
01:02:21What the?
01:02:22The Shepard Group stock prices?
01:02:23It's going up!
01:02:24This can't be happening.
01:02:25It must be a coincidence.
01:02:26Thank you for that.
01:02:27Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
01:02:29There was a huge investment.
01:02:30We couldn't compete.
01:02:31Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.
01:02:34How did you do this?
01:02:36Like I said, Chloe, I'm Laura Lewis.
01:02:37You're just some cleaner.
01:02:38You don't have access to billions!
01:02:40Well.
01:02:41I think it's time for your family, how is it going...
01:02:43We couldn't compete. Shepard's top price is being heavily supported.
01:02:48How did you do this?
01:02:50Like I said, Chloe, I'm Laura Lewis.
01:02:56No, you're not. You're just some cleaner. You don't have access to billions.
01:03:00Well, I think it's time for my apology.
01:03:05Now, I think it's time for my apology.
01:03:13There's no way I'm apologizing to you.
01:03:16If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me, Chloe?
01:03:21The 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.
01:03:36How did she manage that? Maybe she really is a Lewis.
01:03:41Apologize to Miss Lewis.
01:03:43Shut up. Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.
01:03:47Don't forget, the Duke finally owned half of Maplewood.
01:03:51There you go, Liz. Let's get out of here.
01:03:54Hold on. This is where I belong.
01:03:59And that is my chair.
01:04:03You can't go there. That is the VIP section.
01:04:07Only those invited by the Lewis Group Vice Presidents get to sit there.
01:04:11Like I said, Chloe, that's my seat.
01:04:16I 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. Shepherd, wasn't it?
01:04:32Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
01:04:34Is this how you charm all your men? Shall we?
01:04:37My pleasure.
01:04:39What are you doing?
01:04:41Let go!
01:04:43It doesn't matter what happens.
01:04:45I choose to stay by Laura's side.
01:04:47Let's go.
01:04:49Don't be absurd. That seat is reserved for a very important guest.
01:04:55Someone so esteemed, even the Vice Presidents have to bow low.
01:05:01And 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.
01:05:19That's Peter Young. He decides which investments are you?
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.
01:05:38Please get off the stage.
01:05:40Mr. Young, was it?
01:05:44I think I remember you.
01:05:45You manage my family's investments.
01:05:49Don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:05:52Please 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.
01:06:13You, 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 that used to work for the Harrison Group.
01:06:29Before that, a cashier in my family's supermarket.
01:06:32See, Brian?
01:06:34This is who you've been chasing after.
01:06:36A liar and a cheat.
01:06:38Security!
01:06:39Get this imposter out of here.
01:06:41And everyone here is a witness.
01:06:43Why would any of you trust Lauren?
01:06:46If any of you dares to harm her, you have to go through me first.
01:06:52Brian, she's just some nobody.
01:06:55She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.
01:06:58They 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!
01:07:04Oh, Peter.
01:07:13Peter, do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:07:16Mr. 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.
01:07:38Wait a minute.
01:07:39She's Miss Lewis.
01:07:40Is this a joke?
01:07:42Mr. Young, you're new to the Lewis Group,
01:07:45so I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.
01:07:49But you listened to lies without checking the facts.
01:07:52And almost called the police.
01:07:56Tell 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.
01:08:13I get it now.
01:08:15This is all an act, right?
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.
01:08:33I 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?
01:08:56Show 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.
01:09:12There's a ring!
01:09:14Wow.
01:09:17Vice Presidents!
01:09:19I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.
01:09:21This woman is an imposter!
01:09:23Miss Lewis, we apologise for the delay.
01:09:26How could you just let that con woman sit there?
01:09:29Get her out of here!
01:09:30Sophie!
01:09:31This seat was always for Miss Lewis.
01:09:33She's the special guest we've been waiting for.
01:09:37The investment queen.
01:09:39The real heir to Lewis Group.
01:09:41Laura Lewis!
01:09:43She was a divorced host wife.
01:09:45A janitor.
01:09:46How can she?
01:09:47She can't be.
01:09:48It'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.
01:10:04You'll be hearing from our legal team.
01:10:09Is this true, Miss Duke?
01:10:11Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:10:13Yes, it'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.
01:10:24But I'm on your side.
01:10:26I can give you everything you need.
01:10:29All 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 ten minutes.
01:10:55You're bluffing.
01:10:57You'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.
01:11:22We'll see.
01:11:28Dad?
01:11:29Slow down.
01:11:30What are you talking about?
01:11:33No.
01:11:35It's impossible.
01:11:37Chloe, what have you done?
01:11:39Years of hard work.
01:11:40Destroyed in minutes.
01:11:43What did you do?
01:11:47Well, 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.
01:11:58Chloe, what have you done?
01:12:01The news is everywhere.
01:12:03Shepard's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market.
01:12:06They're hammering our shares.
01:12:08Are you sure it's just Shepard's?
01:12:11Yes!
01:12:12Shareholders 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.
01:12:24At a fire sale price.
01:12:26Your employees won't even be affected.
01:12:28Brilliant!
01:12:29A masterstroke, Ms. Lewis.
01:12:32Now, this is my event.
01:12:36Please 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.
01:12:47These feelings you have for me.
01:12:49It's not love.
01:12:51It's obsession.
01:12:53Enough!
01:12:54If you don't want to ruin everything completely, you'll come with me.
01:12:58Right now.
01:12:59No!
01:13:00No!
01:13:01Right now!
01:13:02No!
01:13:03No!
01:13:04No!
01:13:05Right!
01:13:07Laura!
01:13:08This isn't over!
01:13:09Get out of me!
01:13:10What is going on here?
01:13:11Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:13:12Shepard Group.
01:13:13What is going on here?
01:13:21Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:13:24Shepard Group.
01:13:25They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group for Maplewood.
01:13:29They're handling all future construction projects.
01:13:31That can't be.
01:13:33What about us?
01:13:34That was our project.
01:13:35Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.
01:13:37Harrison Group is practically out.
01:13:39We have no chance.
01:13:40We 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.
01:13:56We 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.
01:14:10I'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.
01:14:20Very impressive.
01:14:22Thank you, bud.
01:14:23A large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.
01:14:26No.
01:14:27She practically saved me from disaster three times over now.
01:14:32Brian, you can just call me Laura.
01:14:34Ms. Lewis' recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.
01:14:39Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:14:42Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is golden.
01:14:46Seize it.
01:14:46A 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.
01:15:10So you're Laura's uncle?
01:15:14In the flesh.
01:15:16So Laura really is your niece?
01:15:19Yes, 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.
01:15:34Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?
01:15:37And 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.
01:15:52What if I fail?
01:15:53My family is already ruined.
01:15:56Yes, 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.
01:16:09How 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.
01:16:26And 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.
01:16:46It's been easy.
01:16:47Indeed, somebody had to.
01:16:49I mean, after you left me with everything to do, without a safe pair of hands,
01:16:53I hate to think it would have happened to the company.
01:16:57Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard,
01:17:00you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.
01:17:05Yes.
01:17:06Minor mistakes.
01:17:07Minor.
01:17:08Don't worry, Uncle Ian.
01:17:10I won't hold it against you.
01:17:11Oh, good.
01:17:13Well, cheers to you coming back here.
01:17:16And the Lewis Group.
01:17:20Oh!
01:17:21I'm so sorry, Laura.
01:17:24How clumsy of me.
01:17:25Uh, no, no worries, Uncle Ian.
01:17:27I...
01:17:28I'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.
01:17:59How's that?
01:18:00Hello, Brian.
01:18:02Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:18:04Chloe,
01:18:05how in the hell did you get Laura's phone?
01:18:08Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:18:11Listen, Chloe.
01:18:12Don't hurt her.
01:18:15Please.
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
01:18:25if 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.
01:18:41I retrieved it for you.
01:18:43I'll go to Ian.
01:18:44Lovely to see you again.
01:18:45Yeah.
01:18:46I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.

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!

01:20:08Us?
01:20:09You've gone crazy!

01:20:11Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious event.
01:20:16They're going to lock you up for years!
01:20:19You think I care about jail time?
01:20:22All I care about is tearing you two apart.
01:20:24You don't deserve him.
01:20:26What you've done, you've destroyed my life, my company, everything.

01:20:41Did 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 going to win?
