00:00:00What are you doing here? What do you think?
00:00:03No need to hide anymore. I'm leaving you. For Catherine.
00:00:07Unlike you, I'm young and rich. I can give Bradley what he deserves.
00:00:12Catherine hired me to be vice president of her family's hospital. She's also way better in bed.
00:00:17What's that?
00:00:24She's pregnant?
00:00:30No.
00:00:37Ow!
00:01:01Bradley.
00:01:04What happened?
00:01:06The baby. Is the baby okay?
00:01:12I'm so sorry.
00:01:16We lost the baby.
00:01:20I'm so sorry.
00:01:25We're right here, sweetheart. We're right here.
00:01:30I'm sorry.
00:01:37I won't let Bradley and that woman get away with this.
00:01:42I'm ready to come back, Dad.
00:01:44No. Revenge won't heal the heart.
00:01:46This isn't about revenge. This is about holding them accountable.
00:01:49Are you sure you're ready for this?
00:01:51I've been preparing for years, Mom.
00:02:01I have an important announcement.
00:02:03My daughter, Mia Gerber, will be the new CEO of Gerber Corporation.
00:02:24Plans from Lane Holdings.
00:02:27Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:02:32There is a condition. You're going to have to marry Joshua Lane, the heir of Lane Holdings.
00:02:38Mia's never even met this guy before.
00:02:40It's a strategic alliance, Noah.
00:02:44It's what's best for our family and the company.
00:02:47I'll do it.
00:02:51I'll marry Joshua Lane if that's what it takes.
00:02:54I'll marry Joshua Lane if that's what it takes.
00:03:24I'm sorry.
00:03:43I'm not interested. Get lost.
00:03:49Man, you are brutal. That's the fifth girl you've turned down tonight.
00:03:53Hey, I heard you're getting hitched to Mia Gerber. Why didn't you turn her down?
00:03:57This marriage is what my parents want. I couldn't care less about her.
00:04:00Look at mine. She's the heiress to the Gerber Corporation. There must be some perks to her.
00:04:04Perks are not. She'll learn quickly that I'm not one to be messed with.
00:04:08You're going to give her a hard time, huh?
00:04:10Let's just say that she's got something coming.
00:04:23Do you, Joshua Lane, take Mia Gerber for your lawfully wedded wife?
00:04:28I do.
00:04:31And you, Mia Gerber, do you take Joshua Lane for your lawfully wedded husband?
00:04:36I do.
00:04:38Um, the rings?
00:04:48You may now kiss the bride.
00:04:54Let's get one thing straight, Mia.
00:04:56This marriage is a show for our family and the rest of the world.
00:04:59Don't expect any affection from me.
00:05:01Understood. And vice versa.
00:05:24My parents want to set up a dinner with us. My assistant will set it up.
00:05:28She can coordinate schedules with my assistant.
00:05:30Done.
00:05:54Joshua has always been so distant with people.
00:06:00Unlike Alex here, who's so popular and charismatic.
00:06:05You should see Oliver Woodman. I can't stop chasing him.
00:06:08Well, at least I don't have to worry if Alex will give me a grandson.
00:06:14But I wonder, Joshua, if you can even warm up enough to give me a child.
00:06:20We need an heir after all.
00:06:22Eleanor, that's enough.
00:06:25I'm just saying, perhaps Alex is a better fit to lead Lane Horvitz.
00:06:31Quite the contrary.
00:06:33Actually, Joshua's very passionate.
00:06:36Especially in the bedroom.
00:06:38No doubt that you'll have that heir soon.
00:06:47Pure information.
00:06:49Passion is not in my DNA, nor does it align with my personal brand.
00:06:54But still, thank you for saving him.
00:06:59I just didn't appreciate your stepmom's attitude.
00:07:09Get the campaign ready.
00:07:11I want that jerk out ASAP.
00:07:15Noah, hey.
00:07:17I need a favor.
00:07:22You're right.
00:07:24Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua.
00:07:27Houdon and PR are already involved.
00:07:29What agency are we using?
00:07:32We're Subtle Sighting. Bids are open for this year's contract.
00:07:36Perfect.
00:07:38I have a plan.
00:07:40I'm offering the Gerber Corporation's annual PR budget.
00:07:44It's one of the largest in the industry.
00:07:46That's an enticing offer, Ms. Gerber.
00:07:49What do you ask of me in return?
00:07:52I need you to withdraw from any campaign against Joshua Lane.
00:07:56I don't mind, I'll cover the cancellation fee.
00:08:04You have a deal.
00:08:06You have a deal.
00:08:08The Gerber Corporation account is too good to pass up.
00:08:12There's a little more.
00:08:14I need you to spread the word.
00:08:16Any PR firm that goes against Joshua Lane will be blacklisted from the Gerber Corporation and our allies.
00:08:23You got it.
00:08:24No one in this industry is stupid enough to fight against the Gerber Corporation.
00:08:30Wonderful.
00:08:31Thanks.
00:08:32Looking forward to a fruitful partnership.
00:08:37I have evidence of Alex's scheme against you.
00:08:42Yeah.
00:08:43But don't worry, I've already taken care of it.
00:08:46I always knew Eleanor and Alex would be after my position.
00:08:50I just didn't expect Alex to be this bold.
00:08:53How do you know about this?
00:08:55Alex struck me as opportunistic.
00:08:57A smear campaign is the easiest way to sway the shareholders' opinion.
00:09:00Eleanor's background in PR made this move predictable.
00:09:03You're more perceptive than I thought.
00:09:06Why are you helping me?
00:09:10Our family's alliance is crucial.
00:09:12Protecting you means protecting the Gerber Corporation.
00:09:15It's all business.
00:09:19Business, right.
00:09:21Well, in that case, I should help you with your beef with Kathleen Bradley, right?
00:09:27How did you know about that?
00:09:30Didn't expect me to enter into a marriage without doing background checks.
00:09:34I just don't get what the big deal about your ex is.
00:09:37I mean, he cheated on you.
00:09:39So what?
00:09:42She must be faking it to trap you.
00:09:47How dare you?
00:09:49You have no right to dig into my past like that.
00:09:52I can take care of myself.
00:09:59Watch yourself.
00:10:03To your new position as Senior VP.
00:10:08And it's all thanks to my help, of course.
00:10:10Absolutely. You're my lucky charm, honey.
00:10:18Imagine if I'd stayed with Mia.
00:10:20Poor and powerless. That's all she ever was.
00:10:23She's a joke.
00:10:25A stepping stone at best.
00:10:27You by my side, we are unstoppable.
00:10:40Katherine's Hospital is resisting our acquisition.
00:10:43Bradley, as the new Senior VP, is leading the pushback.
00:10:47Do they know I'm the CEO yet?
00:10:49No, as per your request.
00:10:51Perfect. Keep at it.
00:10:57Now how do I pull this off?
00:11:08There are gaps in Mia's medical record right after her breakup.
00:11:12These are from the Gerber Corporation's own hospital.
00:11:15Only someone higher up from within can access it.
00:11:24I want to know what happened to Mia during that gap.
00:11:26After the breakup.
00:11:28Even if I know, why would I tell you?
00:11:30Mia helped me, but unless I understand that part of the puzzle,
00:11:34I won't be able to return her favor.
00:11:36Do you care for her?
00:11:39You don't dislike her?
00:11:41No.
00:11:42Mia deserves someone who truly loves her.
00:11:45Not you.
00:11:46She's a grown woman.
00:11:48She knows what she wants.
00:11:50Nobody gets to tell her what she deserves.
00:11:51Especially not you.
00:11:57You can choose not to share the information,
00:12:00but you won't be helping her.
00:12:03Your choice.
00:12:08Alright, look.
00:12:10If you have to know,
00:12:12unfortunately,
00:12:14Mia had a miscarriage
00:12:16because of an accident involving Bradley and Kevin.
00:12:19Because of an accident involving Bradley and Kevin.
00:12:40How are you...
00:12:42feeling?
00:12:44It's none of your business.
00:12:46Not that you would know what that means.
00:12:49I'm sorry for overstepping
00:12:51and being insensitive.
00:12:52I learned about your miscarriage.
00:12:54I had no idea.
00:12:56You didn't know?
00:12:58That doesn't excuse my behavior.
00:13:00I apologize.
00:13:02I may have overreacted.
00:13:04You were hurting me.
00:13:05That's understandable.
00:13:07So you're not a robot.
00:13:09Like everyone says you are.
00:13:10Of course I'm not.
00:13:12Who says that?
00:13:13Everyone.
00:13:14Your family, your friends,
00:13:16your coworkers,
00:13:18enemies.
00:13:19I even heard the maids joking about it the other day.
00:13:23Borrow them all?
00:13:24No, no.
00:13:25No, it's okay.
00:13:27They're allowed to joke.
00:13:28They've been doing a wonderful job.
00:13:31Besides, I think you should talk like this.
00:13:34It suits you.
00:13:37It's not funny.
00:13:41It's like...
00:13:45Okay.
00:13:47Good night.
00:13:54Talk like this.
00:14:08Go ahead with the plan.
00:14:10Short thought, Captain's company.
00:14:13I want to see them bleed.
00:14:21Mia, you need to see this.
00:14:23The stock of Captain's hospital has been shortened dramatically.
00:14:26They're on the verge of bankruptcy.
00:14:28Just a week?
00:14:29How is this possible?
00:14:30Seems like a coordinated attack.
00:14:32Someone powerful is behind this.
00:14:37Joshua.
00:14:43Did you short Captain's stock?
00:14:45Yes, I did.
00:14:47Why?
00:14:48Strictly for business.
00:14:49To protect our family's alliances.
00:14:51Your enemies are my enemies now.
00:14:53Thank you, Joshua.
00:14:54State what's necessary.
00:14:56Just that you've got to pay a little visit to Bradley and Captain.
00:15:07Bradley, what are we going to do?
00:15:09They're taking everything!
00:15:11I can't believe this is happening.
00:15:14As of now, this hospital is under Gerber Corporation's control.
00:15:18Yes, the Gerber Corporation.
00:15:20As in my family's company.
00:15:22Mia Gerber? I thought you were Mia Whitlock.
00:15:24Whitlock was just a name I used to conceal my identity.
00:15:28You betrayed and hurt my wife.
00:15:30Now you're facing the consequences.
00:15:32I've resigned.
00:15:33You can't touch me.
00:15:34Resignation or not, Bradley, your career is over.
00:15:37I've seen to it that everyone in this industry won't touch you after what you've done.
00:15:42Mia.
00:15:43You know that I never meant to hurt you.
00:15:46This hospital is all that I have left.
00:15:48Please!
00:15:51That day that I fell, you stood there and watched.
00:15:55You made your decision then.
00:15:57Mia, can we talk?
00:15:58I know I hurt you deeply.
00:15:59I just want to apologize.
00:16:01To make things right.
00:16:08Mia, I'm truly sorry about the briefing.
00:16:12I dreamt about you and the baby every day.
00:16:14I just couldn't bring myself to tell you this after the accident.
00:16:18Because I felt so ashamed of myself.
00:16:20Your apology can't undo what's been done, Bradley.
00:16:23I know.
00:16:24I just...
00:16:25I need you to know that I will always care about you.
00:16:29Deeply.
00:16:30I love you.
00:16:31I love you.
00:16:32I love you.
00:16:33I love you.
00:16:34I love you.
00:16:35I will always care about you.
00:16:36Deeply.
00:16:49You're really like they say.
00:16:51Tall.
00:16:53Handsome.
00:16:54Powerful.
00:17:01Catherine manipulated me.
00:17:03But now I realize she's nothing compared to you.
00:17:05We could start over.
00:17:07With your family's resources, I could help you grow the business.
00:17:10Wait for the parents again.
00:17:12Give us a chance.
00:17:13You know, if I wasn't 100% sure before, I am now.
00:17:18You're a piece of human trash.
00:17:22You're right, Hunter.
00:17:23But think about all the good memories we have.
00:17:25Think about more to come.
00:17:27Just let it go.
00:17:28Mia, stop.
00:17:29Bradley.
00:17:30Stop.
00:17:31Get the fuck out of here.
00:17:34Get the fuck out of here.
00:17:42I should have known her name before Bradley could talk to you.
00:17:44It's fine.
00:17:45Don't show me.
00:17:46Thank you for stopping it.
00:17:48Thank you for...
00:17:51Everything.
00:17:54Yeah.
00:17:55I followed through with all my business plans.
00:17:57Right.
00:17:58Yeah.
00:17:59The business plan.
00:18:01You know, you call me your wife for the first time.
00:18:04Don't look into it too much.
00:18:06Let's go.
00:18:07Actually, you know what?
00:18:10Now that all the revenge is done, I think I want to take some time alone.
00:18:16Figure out my feelings.
00:18:18I understand.
00:18:25They destroyed everything.
00:18:27We can't let them get away with this.
00:18:31What if we take Mia?
00:18:35A ransom would help us, but hurt Mia.
00:18:38Yes.
00:18:40Abducting Mia Gerber.
00:18:42I'd see how Joshua Lane reacts then.
00:18:45But how will we get to Mia?
00:18:47I know that she always goes to this one spot, alone.
00:18:50From what I know about her, she must be there right now.
00:19:00Yeah.
00:19:30Hey!
00:19:56Hey!
00:19:57Hey!
00:20:00Help!
00:20:08Thought you could get rid of us, Mia?
00:20:12You and Joshua will regret ever crossing us.
00:20:17Don't bring him into this, you bitch!
00:20:28Thanks for talking back to me.
00:20:33Look at you.
00:20:35Just as pathetic as the day you fell.
00:20:38Of course I could have saved you.
00:20:41But why would I?
00:20:43You and your baby are worth nothing.
00:20:51Joshua.
00:20:52I can't.
00:20:56Joshua Lane?
00:20:58Listen.
00:21:00We have Mia Gerber.
00:21:01We want her back.
00:21:02Get ready with a hefty ransom.
00:21:04I'll pay the ransom.
00:21:06But listen to me clearly.
00:21:08I will hunt you down and you'll wish you'd never crossed me.
00:21:18Based on the footage from Mia's car camera,
00:21:20it seems Bradley and Katherine are behind us.
00:21:23These are the possible locations where Mia could be.
00:21:28This one.
00:21:38Mia.
00:21:46It's yours.
00:21:50Shit.
00:22:20Shit.
00:22:51I made you some soup.
00:22:54Thank you.
00:22:59It's very unique.
00:23:03What is this?
00:23:04My mom's recipe.
00:23:06Before she passed away, she used to make it for me.
00:23:09It's really good.
00:23:11It's really good.
00:23:13It's really good.
00:23:15It's really good.
00:23:17It's really good.
00:23:18It's really good.
00:23:20She used to make it for me when I was sick.
00:23:22I had it in my comfort room.
00:23:25I must have made it wrong.
00:23:26It's wonderful.
00:23:28I don't know how to thank you enough.
00:23:31It's nothing.
00:23:33I just did what I had to do.
00:23:37Joshua.
00:23:39Is this still just a marriage of convenience for you?
00:23:43Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Lane.
00:23:45A guest has arrived.
00:23:46Her name is Susie Harper.
00:23:48Susie's back?
00:23:50Yes.
00:23:57I've missed you so much.
00:24:04Susie, it's been ages.
00:24:07When was the last time we saw each other?
00:24:10Four years ago.
00:24:11Before I went abroad.
00:24:13It's been too long.
00:24:14Welcome back, Susie.
00:24:16I came back just for you.
00:24:18Oh, there's so much...
00:24:22Susie, this is my wife, Mia.
00:24:26Mia, this is Susie, an old friend of mine.
00:24:29Oh, you're the one Joshua had to marry.
00:24:32Oh, Susie, that's lovely.
00:24:35Joshua and I have a special bond, you know?
00:24:39We've been friends since, like, forever.
00:24:43He means a lot to me.
00:24:44I want him to be happy.
00:24:45I think we all want that.
00:24:47Do you?
00:24:49Joshua and I talk often over the phone.
00:24:51He confides in me.
00:24:53I'm one of the few he truly trusts.
00:24:56He mentioned he was quite unhappy about the marriage.
00:24:59Right.
00:25:01Well, it seems like you two have a lot to catch up on.
00:25:03So, I'll leave you to it.
00:25:10Susie, why would you say those things?
00:25:13I told you I had doubts before the wedding, not since then.
00:25:17Joshua, you're clearly unhappy.
00:25:20I was just speaking up for you.
00:25:22I don't need you to look out for me.
00:25:25Sorry.
00:25:27I just...
00:25:29I was trying to help, since you really don't want the marriage.
00:25:34I don't mind it, though.
00:25:36Do you like her?
00:25:39She's fine.
00:25:40This means I still have a chance.
00:25:43Joshua,
00:25:45if I had stayed by your side,
00:25:47you never would have had to marry a complete stranger like me and Gerber.
00:25:52I'm sure it hasn't been pleasant.
00:25:55Now that I'm back, you can always talk to me.
00:25:58Susie, you're a great friend.
00:26:01Of course.
00:26:02I'll always be there for you.
00:26:05How's it going?
00:26:08It's this marriage.
00:26:10It's Joshua. He's like a shadow.
00:26:13He's always there, but never really close.
00:26:17You deserve someone who will give you all the love and appreciation you need.
00:26:34Thank you, Noah.
00:26:37How could I have without you?
00:26:42I couldn't live without you.
00:27:04Joshua.
00:27:22Joshua.
00:27:26We can't be like this forever. We have to talk.
00:27:31Why don't you talk to Noah?
00:27:32Seems like you have plenty to say to him.
00:27:34I don't even know what that means.
00:27:36There's nothing between Noah and me.
00:27:38You and Susie, on the other hand.
00:27:40What?
00:27:42Whatever you think, I don't care.
00:28:00What's he doing here?
00:28:03Look, I'm here to deliver some documents to Mia.
00:28:15If you ever hurt her, just know that I will protect her at all costs.
00:28:21And what exactly have you done to protect her?
00:28:24Seems like all talk but no action.
00:28:26What are you two doing?
00:28:27What's going on here?
00:28:29Joshua, why are you acting so irrational?
00:28:31This is ridiculous.
00:28:33You invite him into our house just to talk to him?
00:28:35I didn't invite... Joshua!
00:28:37I'm sorry.
00:28:39I didn't mean to cause any rift between you two.
00:28:41It wasn't my intention.
00:28:43It's fine.
00:28:45Why are you here?
00:28:47I'm here to protect you and the company.
00:28:49I suspect that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare.
00:28:53Is that Dwayne?
00:28:55And the CEO of Melody Healthcare?
00:28:57Melody Healthcare.
00:29:01This, Dwayne, is our game changer.
00:29:04What about Melody Healthcare?
00:29:06They're our biggest threat.
00:29:08They're going in a completely different direction.
00:29:10We're way ahead of them.
00:29:12And how do you know that?
00:29:14The CEO approached me the other day.
00:29:16Tried to get some information from me, but I flipped it and got some information from him.
00:29:20Like I could turn my own company into a fool to think that.
00:29:24Right, of course, Dwayne.
00:29:25Let's go ahead with the plan.
00:29:34See, he's fine.
00:29:36I don't know.
00:29:38There's something strange about him.
00:29:40I can't put my finger on it, but...
00:29:42Just keep your eyes open, okay?
00:29:44I will.
00:29:48Maybe it's just...
00:29:55How did they get ahead of us?
00:29:57This was our strategy.
00:29:59Where's Dwayne?
00:30:01He's outside.
00:30:03Oh, my God.
00:30:05Oh, my God.
00:30:07Oh, my God.
00:30:09Oh, my God.
00:30:11Oh, my God.
00:30:13Oh, my God.
00:30:15Oh, my God.
00:30:17Oh, my God.
00:30:19Oh, my God.
00:30:21Oh, my God.
00:30:23Oh, my God.
00:30:25Oh, my God.
00:30:31Oh, my God.
00:30:41The similarity of the details to ours is...
00:30:44uncanny.
00:30:47I don't know.
00:30:49He kept everything under wraps.
00:30:51They must have developed this independently.
00:30:53Man, you're just too young. You're not experienced enough in this business world. This stuff happens.
00:31:00I'm experienced enough to know that this is not a coincidence.
00:31:04And I don't need you to tell me what I do and do not know. You can leave.
00:31:08You can leave.
00:31:22Why do you look so sullen all the time? Doesn't look good on you.
00:31:28Oh, thanks for the comfort.
00:31:30Okay.
00:31:37We need to talk about the leadership of this company.
00:31:41It is clear that Mia's recent decisions, well, they've been questionable.
00:31:50Acquiring Catherine from this hospital was a big misstep.
00:31:55Now Melody's Healthcare is outpacing us.
00:31:57Mia, I'm sorry, but you're too young and inexperienced to be in this role.
00:32:03I believe under my leadership, our profits have already increased by 20% compared to last year.
00:32:10That's due to the overall market trend, not because of your leadership.
00:32:15My strategies have been more than effective.
00:32:19The Finley acquisition has potential long-term benefits, and our growth, by the way, is not just a fluke.
00:32:24This company, this board needs a leader with experience and vision, not someone learning on the job.
00:32:32As a senior VP, on behalf of all the employees with Gerber Corporation, we support Mia.
00:32:38I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:32:45I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:32:49Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:32:54What is this? What are you doing?
00:32:57These are communications between Dwayne and Melody Healthcare. Killing is our strategy.
00:33:05You're fired, Dwayne. Expected immediately.
00:33:08I've been with you since you founded the company. All these years, I've never been CEO, but you give it to your daughter?
00:33:13I've always known you were ambitious, but I never thought you would stoop this low.
00:33:17Your lack of trustworthiness is why you were never CEO.
00:33:22We built this company on integrity and trust. Values you clearly lack.
00:33:29Security, escort Mr. Kaiser out.
00:33:32Wait.
00:33:34Dean.
00:33:44Mia, we're so proud of you. You really handled the crisis well.
00:33:49Thank you. You truly are our go-to.
00:33:56Noah, I can't thank you enough.
00:33:58Of course. You know I'd do anything for you.
00:34:00You know, I never asked, but how did you get your hands on those documents?
00:34:05It all started with anonymous tape.
00:34:08Someone delivered photos of Dwayne meeting with the owner of Melody Healthcare, and I intercepted the tape.
00:34:16This is your schedule for the week.
00:34:18What's this?
00:34:20Seems to be about Mr. Kaiser.
00:34:22I'll take that too. Thanks.
00:34:31Anonymous. Who would do that?
00:34:35I don't know, but the photos led me to dig deeper, and eventually I found clear evidence of his betrayal.
00:34:43Can I see the photos?
00:34:51I think I might know who's behind this, but I need to confirm.
00:34:55Ethan, I need to talk to you about these photos.
00:34:58Is this you? In the reflection? Were you following Dwayne?
00:35:02Yeah, it's me. Joshua asked me to keep an eye on Dwayne.
00:35:06He said his suspicions about Dwayne's loyalty for a while.
00:35:09We then delivered the photos.
00:35:12Mr. Lane, what a surprise.
00:35:16Should I tell Ms. Lane you're here?
00:35:18No.
00:35:19Dwayne, what a surprise.
00:35:22Should I tell Ms. Lane you're here?
00:35:24No need to.
00:35:29Why couldn't Joshua just tell me about his suspicions?
00:35:32Joshua is a...
00:35:34He's a complicated man.
00:35:36He means well, but he struggles with expressing himself.
00:35:39He's never gone through such steps for anyone before, and yet this must mean he cares about you.
00:35:45He could just talk to me next time.
00:35:47Well, Joshua has his ways.
00:35:49He might not show it, but he cares deeply.
00:35:52I just ask that you...
00:35:55don't hurt him.
00:35:57No.
00:36:00You're a loyal friend, Ethan.
00:36:09Joshua, I need to talk to you.
00:36:12About Dwayne Kaiser and Melody Hellecker.
00:36:14What about it?
00:36:16I know you sent Ethan to follow Dwayne.
00:36:19Why didn't you just talk to me?
00:36:21It just seemed like the best course of action at the time.
00:36:23Joshua, is there...
00:36:25more to this marriage than the alliance?
00:36:27Did you do it because...
00:36:29No, no, it's nothing like that.
00:36:31I just couldn't have my wife being voted out of CEO on paper.
00:36:35It would look bad for me.
00:36:37So it's all about appearances?
00:36:39Yes, ma'am.
00:36:41It's all there is.
00:36:43We agreed to a business arrangement.
00:36:44I'm tired of this.
00:36:46Of living in a fantasy where I never actually get to know you.
00:36:50I'm more than just a tool for business advancement or...
00:36:54keeping up appearances.
00:36:57I want a divorce.
00:37:02I want a divorce.
00:37:07You sure about this?
00:37:10I deserve something real in my life, Joshua.
00:37:12Not this...
00:37:14facade.
00:37:16I deserve to be more than just...
00:37:18a business arrangement in somebody's life.
00:37:20I want genuine happiness.
00:37:22I understand.
00:37:24If that's what you want.
00:37:29Joshua, please.
00:37:33I'll see you at the divorce.
00:37:42Okay.
00:38:13Joshua, what are you doing to yourself?
00:38:20Don't leave, don't leave.
00:38:22You're drunk. Please, help me take him to his car.
00:38:26No.
00:38:28I'll take him to my place. He shouldn't be alone.
00:38:31Okay.
00:38:33Let's go.
00:38:43Morning, Josh.
00:38:45Here, drink this.
00:38:47You've had quite a night.
00:38:49Susie.
00:38:52Where am I?
00:38:54This is my apartment.
00:38:56Nothing bad happened.
00:38:58I also drove your car back here.
00:39:00How did I get here?
00:39:02I don't know.
00:39:04I don't know.
00:39:06I don't know.
00:39:08I don't know.
00:39:10I don't know.
00:39:12You were really drunk.
00:39:14I didn't think you should be alone.
00:39:16Josh, what happened?
00:39:19It's over between me and Mia.
00:39:21We're getting a divorce.
00:39:28Maybe it was never meant to be.
00:39:31You deserve someone who understands and loves you.
00:39:42No, I can't do this, Susie.
00:39:45Why?
00:39:47I have always loved you.
00:39:50Now that you and Mia are getting a divorce, we can finally be together.
00:39:54Susie, you were a dear friend and like a little sister.
00:39:59It can't be anything more.
00:40:01I'm sorry.
00:40:03Do you really love that Mia Gerber?
00:40:07I...
00:40:09Yes, Susie.
00:40:11As a matter of fact, I do.
00:40:13You need to go tell her.
00:40:15Now.
00:40:39Oh, my God.
00:40:41Oh, my God.
00:41:00Noah, hey.
00:41:02I've decided to divorce Josh.
00:41:04Are you okay?
00:41:06I'm fine.
00:41:08It's for the best.
00:41:10There's something I need to tell you.
00:41:12Sorry.
00:41:14It's the hospital.
00:41:15Hello?
00:41:16What?
00:41:18What happened?
00:41:19Is he okay?
00:41:21Okay, yeah, I'll be right there.
00:41:23What's wrong?
00:41:24It's Joshua.
00:41:25He's been in an accident.
00:41:33Excuse me, excuse me.
00:41:35I'm here for Joshua Lane.
00:41:38Joshua Lane.
00:41:44Joshua.
00:41:47Miss Gerber?
00:41:48Yeah.
00:41:49We found that Mr. Lane was attempting to call you when the accident occurred.
00:41:54It's not my fault.
00:41:58It was nobody's fault.
00:41:59It was an accident.
00:42:01But right now, she needs you.
00:42:03Do your best to help him wake up, please.
00:42:08Joshua.
00:42:13Remember that soup you made me?
00:42:16I'll let the world come to me.
00:42:19Whenever you get better,
00:42:22we'll make you that soup.
00:42:25Because I know it's your mom's recipe.
00:42:28It was those little moments with you.
00:42:31You know, whenever we would wake up
00:42:33and come out of our rooms and see each other in the morning,
00:42:37sometimes it was the happiest part of my day.
00:42:48What do you think about it?
00:42:54This is all your fault, Mia.
00:42:57You drove him to this.
00:42:59You hurt him.
00:43:01And now, look what's happened to him.
00:43:07Mia, we have a problem.
00:43:09Eleanor and Alex are plotting to make Alex the new CEO
00:43:12while Joshua's in a coma.
00:43:14Now even Joshua's father's been convinced.
00:43:16So they're using Joshua's condition to their advantage.
00:43:19No one's feeling for him.
00:43:21What's the plan?
00:43:23I'm meeting with Mr. Lane.
00:43:25He's a key shareholder of Lane Holdings.
00:43:27His voice can sway the...
00:43:30short notice, Mr. Lane.
00:43:32I've always been curious to know
00:43:33about the famous Mia Gerber.
00:43:35After all, you're the one who led Gerber Corporation
00:43:37to the next level.
00:43:39What do you think?
00:43:41I'm merely stating a fact.
00:43:43Not everyone in the second generation
00:43:45is as capable as you.
00:43:47So, tell me.
00:43:49Why do you want to see me?
00:43:51Is it about Alex being the new CEO?
00:43:53You're a wise man, Mr. Lane.
00:43:55Joshua's vision has been the driving force
00:43:57behind Lane Holdings.
00:43:59We cannot allow Alex to decide
00:44:01I can't do anything at this time.
00:44:03Joshua is out of commission.
00:44:05It's best to have someone lead the company.
00:44:07Gerald is not in good health
00:44:09after his stroke.
00:44:11Alex is the only choice.
00:44:13What if I told you
00:44:15there's another choice?
00:44:19What if I told you
00:44:21there's another choice?
00:44:23I can be the interim CEO of Lane Holdings
00:44:25as the CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:44:27I can be the CEO of Lane Holdings
00:44:28as Joshua's legal wife.
00:44:30I can uphold his legacy
00:44:32and as you mentioned before
00:44:34I'm a very capable CEO
00:44:36in my own right.
00:44:38Your vote, of course, is crucial
00:44:40but more than anything
00:44:42people trust your judgment.
00:44:44If you choose to have faith in me
00:44:46others will follow.
00:44:48And I promise
00:44:50I won't disappoint.
00:44:52Can you run two companies
00:44:54at the same time?
00:44:56I have a very capable team
00:44:58that will move me
00:45:00even if I'm not there full time.
00:45:02I devote my time to Lane Holdings
00:45:04until Joshua gets back.
00:45:06What if he doesn't?
00:45:08He will.
00:45:10I admire your tenacity.
00:45:12I'll do what I can.
00:45:14Thank you, Mr. Lane.
00:45:29I'll fight for you, Joshua.
00:45:33You did the same for me.
00:45:38I won't let you down.
00:45:46Given Joshua's current condition
00:45:48I propose Mia Gerber
00:45:50as the interim CEO
00:45:52of Lane Holdings.
00:45:54Mia Gerber?
00:45:56She's from a different company.
00:45:58How is she even qualified?
00:46:00Mia is Joshua's wife
00:46:02but legal heir.
00:46:04She's proven her capabilities
00:46:06with Gerber Corporation.
00:46:08Finding the strengths
00:46:10of both companies
00:46:12under her leadership
00:46:14will only make Lane Holdings stronger.
00:46:16This is absurd.
00:46:18Mia is practically a stranger
00:46:20to our company's operation.
00:46:22While I appreciate your concerns
00:46:24I think my track record
00:46:26speaks for itself.
00:46:28I offer a clean slate.
