00:02:16Mr. Yates

00:02:27Now listen everyone is waiting New York for you to claim your inheritance a CEO of the Lewis group mr.
00:02:33Gates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished ma'am
00:02:37I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow
00:02:42Look today is Ben's birthday anything we need to discuss we can do it some other time then
00:02:49It really is time for you to accept your inheritance
00:02:52Because what I want is a simple life with Ben
00:02:57ma'am
00:02:59At least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house for my sake
00:03:07I
00:03:13Divorce papers
00:03:22Why
00:03:26The Harrison group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a 100 million dollar contract
00:03:32at the Sheppard and you
00:03:35You're just a cleaner the truth is Laura I've wanted a divorce for a very long time
00:03:41I need a wife who reflects my status. I
00:03:45secured that
00:03:48You a cleaning woman handing out million-dollar deals don't make me laugh I
00:03:57Did it was my present to Betty for his birthday
00:04:01I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal
00:04:05What are you doing here?
00:04:07Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family. Amber's family is practically local royalty
00:04:14local royalty a
00:04:16Small-town rich person is royalty and what qualifications do you have to judge miss cleaner?
00:04:21Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it?
00:04:26Ben
00:04:29What's going on
00:04:31It's what you want a divorce
00:04:33Because of her. Oh, please. I've spent years building Harrison group. You're still a cleaner. We just grew apart
00:04:42Apart
00:04:45No, no, I I won't sign any agreement that I
00:04:52Won't sign
00:04:56Money is a motivator
00:04:58Ben
00:05:01Here hundred thousand dollars open up a small shop or
00:05:07$100,000 I
00:05:09Was the one that helped you make Harrison group what it is today. Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:16Don't be ridiculous
00:05:18You've never done anything for Ben success
00:05:21This is our active charity. Ah here a million dollars. Take this. You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:28Just leave and never see Ben again. I
00:05:32never expected my
00:05:34three years of devotion to and like this
00:05:38since
00:05:39None of you respect me a cleaning lady threatening us
00:05:47Just leave you already make this house stink
00:05:49Oh
00:05:57Thank God she's gone go to Redmond store
00:06:03Sir Laura Lewis's information
00:06:09She's been Harrison's wife no wonder why she wanted to partner actually sir Ben Harrison just divorced her
00:06:17Or something
00:06:20Wait a minute
00:06:22Don't you remember?
00:06:23She's the one who helped us with the contract three years ago
00:06:28Yeah, she saved our hiding
00:06:32Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract
00:06:40Let's get to the bottom of this
00:06:42Hey, what are you doing? Let go of me?
00:06:53Stealing from the Harrison's we gave you a generous divorce settlement you refused it and now you're stealing
00:06:59She couldn't afford it. You're a thief
00:07:08That's mine give it back
00:07:12I
00:07:15Want to say thank you properly for saving Shepherd group, it's it's really no no worries, mr. Shepherd, but um
00:07:22I'm just going through a divorce
00:07:25You see it's who are you Laura's new squeeze? Excuse me. Do you know who I am?
00:07:30Is this true you hooked up with this man while you were married to my son shame on you. Mr. Shepherd
00:07:37For your information, my name is Brian Shepherd, I'm CEO of the Shepherd group
00:07:42Oh, please a big shot like Brian Shepherd wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner. You really don't recognize him. Do you Amber?
00:07:50That's really interesting considering. I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben. That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that
00:07:58my ring
00:08:00Jason
00:08:06Let's get you out of here now, hold on a minute Laura, who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:13It's a lie, man
00:08:14This is none of your business. I'll grab dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on
00:08:21We are the Harrison's you can't just waltz in here and take her Harrison compared to the Shepherd group. You're nobody I go back
00:08:28What are you saying? That is Brian Shepherd. That's a lie. Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura?
00:08:34You come back here and explain yourself. Don't you take another step towards my son Laura?
00:08:41Laura does Ben even know you were the one who secured the hundred million deal?
00:08:47Let's just say that
00:08:49Ben underestimated me. I don't feel good about going through the signing event
00:08:55After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it. No
00:09:00No, the event will proceed
00:09:03Besides I'll be there
00:09:08There's a lot that I don't know about you Laura
00:09:12Who are you truly? You'll find out
00:09:16Mr. Shepherd, um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:23Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis groups
00:09:28Business partners and we're gonna have a meeting an investment meeting one week from today
00:09:36Make sure everyone is there
00:09:41Because after that meeting
00:09:43I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis group. Oh, excellent. Miss Lewis. I'll start making arrangements tomorrow
00:09:51Ben Harrison
00:09:54You're gonna know exactly what it feels like
00:09:57to lose everything
00:10:04After this ceremony the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty only after then my darling we can get married
00:10:13Laura what are you doing here security?
00:10:16Get that woman out of here. We don't need cleaners at this event. Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:22This is a business event after all business you wouldn't know business if it hit you on the head a
00:10:29Fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey
00:10:31Just get out don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for you should have taken my hundred thousand dollar offer
00:10:37Oh Ben
00:10:39Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:43This is really important for me. Do not ruin this. Okay, you don't belong here. Just get out
00:10:53Oh
00:10:55That's what you get
00:11:01This contract is mine to give or take away as I see fit
00:11:08Don't be ridiculous. This is insane. Who do you think you are? Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing
00:11:14Security she's lost her mind. This is a disaster
00:11:18Ben
00:11:19This contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you. But since you clearly don't deserve it
00:11:50You
00:11:53Really think ripping up that contract is gonna help you're so silly. Oh, please honey
00:11:57You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady security get this woman out of here before she makes another mess
00:12:03I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds and after careful
00:12:09consideration I
00:12:11Don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds
00:12:15Really think that the Shepherd group and I could be torn up by something that you've done
00:12:20You have no authority here. Of course. She has the authority
00:12:30That's the man that Laura went with the other day, what is he doing here? Mr. Shepherd, how does he know?
00:12:35Is that really Brian Shepherd?
00:12:38Laura are you all right?
00:12:41I'm mr. Shepherd. I can assure you. I don't even know it this woman. There must be some sort of misunderstanding
00:12:47There's no misunderstanding here. Mr. Harrison this contract with Shepherd group is officially terminated
00:12:54effective immediately
00:12:57Wait a minute this contract. I thought you said you got it. It's her she ruined the contract
00:13:03You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:13:05Fair
00:13:06She had an affair with that man behind my son's back mom, please. It's okay
00:13:12This man is don't touch me
00:13:14That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone has an affair and you just stand there
00:13:19You're a disgrace an adulterer. You deserve to be a shut up
00:13:26Mr. Shepherd, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you this woman has tricked you tricked
00:13:34Why don't you answer a question yourself
00:13:38What was my name before we got married
00:13:42Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:44Lewis group
00:13:45the financial Giants
00:13:47There's no way a Lewis is connected to this
00:13:52That's crazy, there's no way you're related to the Lewis family name that's absurd
00:13:58It's
00:13:59It's absurd
00:14:01High society heirs wouldn't waste a time in Maplewood. Yeah. Yeah, it's a lie
00:14:06It's a lie. This woman was a waitress when I met her. In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago
00:14:13She's nothing special she only married me out of gratitude I was just a waitress
00:14:19How convenient for your story Ben first time I met her she wasn't need a waitress at the diner
00:14:25Okay, listen up everybody when I when I met her I'd only just started my business
00:14:30Now look at me. I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts. Look at her still just a clear
00:14:36Mr. Shepherd that woman is my son's ex-wife. She's doing all this out of spite. She's lying. Mr. Shepherd
00:14:44She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:50Let's make something clear I
00:14:53Was the one behind Harrison group success I
00:14:57Use my
00:14:58Resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the main don't lie
00:15:04You were never good enough for Ben when you married him. Oops
00:15:07That roof was built with lies
00:15:10Kathy you never respected me and Ben
00:15:15Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own and the cheating. I
00:15:20Think you're blaming the wrong person
00:15:24You were not good enough for Ben then and you're certainly not good enough for him now if you'd prefer to believe a liar's story
00:15:32Then the truth Kathy
00:15:34Consider this my resignation from the Harrison's
00:15:37from
00:15:39everything
00:15:43Wait, wait, you can just walk in here and you know ruin everything and then just walk out like nothing happened
00:15:49I don't think so. You're a cleaner. You're a cleaner that cleans toilets. Nobody cares about you
00:15:55Cleaning toilets or not. At least I have my
00:15:58self-respect I
00:16:00Don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important
00:16:08No, I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding I think all jobs are important right mom
00:16:13But I don't think that a
00:16:16Janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this a janitor
00:16:21Well, why don't we ask miss Smith?
00:16:25Exactly how she landed that
00:16:27collaboration with Shepard
00:16:30You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal. Aren't you?
00:16:35Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie
00:16:38This woman Laura. She's just a gold digger trying to trick you
00:16:42Well alive you say miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison group, but I don't recognize you
00:16:51Is this true? Miss Smith?
00:16:54Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions
00:16:57This contract was my way of showing my appreciation
00:17:02The contract I mean Laura tore it up
00:17:05The contract I mean Laura tore it up
00:17:08Can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:13Reprinted. Mr. Harrison, perhaps you haven't been paying attention without miss Lewis involvement
00:17:19I wouldn't even consider
00:17:22parking with your company
00:17:26Today I want to make it clear Shepard group has no plans to partner with Harrison group in the future
00:17:34Miss
00:17:37Smith you lied to us
00:17:39You destroyed everything
00:17:41What?
00:17:42No, it's a misunderstanding. I can explain
00:17:45Lewis
00:17:46Lewis family group this can't be
00:17:49Believe what you want Ben
00:17:51Lewis group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week
00:17:56three
00:17:57Of our vice presidents will be here in maplewood
00:18:01And i'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am
00:18:08Everyone listen to me shepherd group will not be partnering with Harrison
00:18:15A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract
00:18:21The charade is over. Mr. Harrison
00:18:24Everyone here deserves to see the truth
00:18:26Oh miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:40Mom someone get her doctor mom. It seems you're not as you can quite determine. Mr. Shepard
00:18:48Indeed perhaps it's best to leave them to it
00:18:56You
00:19:03What
00:19:04What now?
00:19:05Mom, this is not all on me. Not on you
00:19:09I was trying to help
00:19:12She cheated on you with shepherd
00:19:14Flaunted their affair exactly
00:19:17and those dresses
00:19:18Who could afford those on a janitor's salary miss smith?
00:19:22How could you do this? We trusted you completely
00:19:26No, no, I got ben the deal
00:19:29I had no idea shepherd would fall for laura
00:19:32She's a liar
00:19:34Oh, stop it. Amber. You lied to us just as much as she did
00:19:38lied
00:19:39You're on my side
00:19:41And anyways, I had a plan
00:19:43The shepherds are no one special
00:19:46We can expose laura and all her lies go national
00:19:50We can make ourselves a household name
00:19:53Now if you excuse me
00:19:55I have a very important phone call to make
00:20:02Thank you so much for tonight, mr. Shepherd, thank you as well for standing up for me
00:20:08It's all right. You deserve the credit for all your hard work. Can I ask you something? Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:20:15Maybe a hotel. Don't don't worry about me. Mr. Shepherd. I'll be fine
00:20:20Um
00:20:21Excuse me. You can just drop me off actually laura actually laura there is something else

00:20:35Please call me brian
00:20:38And yes, technically you're single now
00:20:43Yes, that may be true but um

00:22:01Miss smith

00:22:52Thank you, mr

00:23:08That car belongs to mr. Yeats the lewis family bubbler
00:23:12Oh lewis family, that's interesting
00:23:18Could she be connected to them somehow?

00:23:39It was just one teensy mistake I was I was a little bit tipsy
00:23:44Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance? It's a mistake. You said you cheated on me
00:23:53Is this your new fling
00:23:55ex-divorcee
00:23:58Used to clean floors quite the catch you say

00:24:05And don't you dare talk about her like that
00:24:08Please
00:24:10An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman. It's a classic story. That's enough
00:24:17I'll get the hell out of my office
00:24:19You want to be careful brian?
00:24:21Duke industry still holds a lot of weight in maplewood
00:24:25If you want shepherd group to stay afloat
00:24:27You ought to be more careful
00:24:32Seems like you've got more on your plate than laura's secrets now
00:24:39You

00:26:54This is a personal invitation from mr. Yates himself
00:27:00It grants me access to the vip elevator, which leads straight to the vice presidential suite. She's lying
00:27:06They don't have a vip elevator in this hotel

00:28:04Brian shepherd
00:28:06You think money buys you the right to walk all over people? Well, it doesn't yeah wasn't enough to kick us out of maplewood
00:28:12Was it huh?
00:28:13What other plans do you have to destroy this time?
00:28:16out
00:28:17After what you did to laura you had it coming don't play dumb
00:28:21We know exactly what's been happening here
00:28:23How long has this little affair been going on you've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son
00:28:29Hold on a second
00:28:30an affair
00:28:32You think laura and I?
00:28:34You people are unbelievable
00:28:38Mr. Carter
00:28:40Get down here asap. We have a situation
00:28:43What you think you can just boss the manager around now, is that it we'll stick around and watch you crash and burn
00:28:49Miss lewis apologies for the delay. How can I help you this evening? Thank you. Mr. Carter for getting down here so quickly
00:28:56It seems there's a misunderstanding
00:28:59These people don't think that I belong here. Well, mr. Carter. I can assure you this woman is a cleaner a cleaner nonsense
00:29:07I personally agreed to miss lewis upon her arrival in maplewood three years ago
00:29:11Exactly
00:29:13lewis group
00:29:15my
00:29:16company
00:29:17Has some major investments planned here in maplewood. I was just here investigating potential business opportunities
00:29:24No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground
00:29:28She's been this way since my son divorced her. She's insane. Actually
00:29:33I've met laura three years ago at the coffee shop
00:29:36She helped secure a profitable investment for shepherd group
00:29:40No, it's a lie. Mr. Shepherd. She's tricking you, too
00:29:47You know
00:29:48It's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them
00:29:54Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the vip elevator?
00:29:57Wait, is that why you're covering for her? Huh? Because of the affair because she slept with you. Excuse me
00:30:03Who are you and how dare you speak to miss lewis that way?
00:30:06Enough of this that's enough having to embarrass yourself enough
00:30:09This is lewis group property behave or i'll call security, but she doesn't even have a vip entrance access
00:30:17She shouldn't be here
00:30:19Since you're having trouble understanding them
00:30:22Let me make it clear
00:30:23This hotel is owned by the lewis family
00:30:27it's
00:30:28mine
00:30:29To come or go as I please
00:30:31Yes
00:30:35Thank you for stepping in brian, I
00:30:38owe you one
00:30:40We'll talk about this later
00:30:42Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision. Mr. Anderson
00:30:56Excuse me vice presidents
00:30:59I'm amber smith general manager of the lewis group maplewood branch
00:31:03I believe ian lewis told you about our meeting today
00:31:06maplewood branch
00:31:09Our records don't show any maplewood branch miss smith. Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:31:17ian
00:31:19Mr. Lewis
00:31:21Reassured me that today we would discuss
00:31:24well
00:31:25expansion plans
00:31:27expansion plans
00:31:29Miss smith a decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval and frankly, we haven't heard anything about
00:31:36maplewood branch, but
00:31:39Ian lewis assured me that miss smith. We have a very important guest arriving soon
00:31:44Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff
00:31:48Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some miss smith. We'd like you to leave if you don't we'll call security
00:31:57Hey
00:32:00Stop there. This elevator is a vip only back, please. Of course, my apologies
00:32:13Laura
00:32:16Vice presidents, it's so good to see all of you again
00:32:21Miss lewis
00:32:22It's been too long. Your return is a lifesaver miss lewis
00:32:26The lewis group has floundered under your uncle's
00:32:29Shall we say?
00:32:31unconventional leadership
00:32:32The board are begging you to come back miss lewis
00:32:37Well, please sit yes, well it is time for me to get my career back on track
00:32:43We've got a meeting planned a big one
00:32:46in just a few days
00:32:49Local powerhouses and and smaller players, too. They'll all be there in one spot miss lewis
00:32:56We met with an amber smith
00:32:59She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a maplewood branch
00:33:05For the lewis group. She said that did she well miss smith is a liar
00:33:10There is no maplewood branch at least not yet. She lied. So blatantly. It was it's unbelievable, but don't worry
00:33:18I found a much more suitable partner
00:33:20A
00:33:23Shepherd group shepherd crew their rise to a public company has been impressive
00:33:29Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:32So what happens now with this amber smith?
00:33:36Oh
00:33:37Don't worry about amber
00:33:40I've got plans for her
00:33:44Miss lewis
00:33:46Consider this your official invitation to the meeting for us
00:33:53Cheers
00:34:05I'm not leaving. What are you talking about? No, come on. I'm amber smith. I'm the lewis group manager of maplewood branch
00:34:11What are you doing? These are my guests. Yeah, that's right. Tell them who we are. Yes, we were waiting for miss smith
00:34:17Um
00:34:18Lewis group maplewood branch. No such thing ma'am. And frankly, i'm not interested in your act
00:34:24Oh, of course
00:34:25laura
00:34:26She's probably sleeping with the manager as well. That's how she gets away with everything you underestimate her kathy
00:34:33She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents
00:34:36No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this careful with your words
00:34:40both of you
00:34:42Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble
00:34:47Look who can't even get into a meeting whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents and let's not forget the mystery guests that
00:34:54They're bringing to maplewood
00:34:56Looks like she used you and tossed you aside use me
00:35:00Unlike some people I don't mind being helpful
00:35:03You're so stupid. She threw you away like yesterday's trash
00:35:08Don't worry. Brian. You deserve better and let's not forget
00:35:12I'm the new maplewood branch manager of lewis group appointed by the ceo of lewis group themselves. Ian lewis
00:35:19new branch manager, huh
00:35:22Interesting laura lewis. What are you doing here? Get out of here. You claim to be the mystery guest
00:35:30Don't play games laura. I was formally invited by lewis group themselves to the investment meeting
00:35:36Only the top companies get those
00:35:38Looks like you're all out of luck
00:35:40Is that so?
00:35:42well, then
00:35:44There seems to be a misunderstanding
00:35:47You see i'm not sure if you know miss smith, but lewis group is my company and I decide who goes to the meetings
00:35:57Escort them out their visit is over. Oh, come on this way, please. I'm not leaving
00:36:06Move we're not leaving again move. Oh, no. No, no, we're not going now. Okay
00:36:10This isn't over laura. You'll see
00:36:16Thanks for waiting
00:36:19Laura i'm glad you're okay
00:36:22and
00:36:24Thank you for defending me. I really appreciate it
00:36:31Um, are you coming to the meeting? Yes, but it's gonna be tricky
00:36:37Why
00:36:40Why i'm sure that shepherd group got an invitation
00:36:46Yes
00:36:48laura
00:36:50There's something you should know
00:36:52is
00:36:54Is this about ben because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems. He won't even get past security
00:37:02laura
00:37:03It's not ben
00:37:05It's someone else
00:37:09Someone's causing problems for shepherd group
00:37:13Yes
00:37:16Her name is chloe duke
00:37:19She is daughter of the duke family
00:37:22She's my ex-fiancee
00:37:26And uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us and
00:37:32And
00:37:34Let's just say we didn't end things so well
00:37:37And for some reason
00:37:40She's having a hard time moving on
00:37:43And you think that she's gonna cause problems at the meeting for
00:37:53Out of jealousy, there's a possibility she's kind of jealous
00:38:00Uh, well all the more reason for you to be there
00:38:07I'll be there too
00:38:11Laura
00:38:14Would you consider being my guest at the meeting
00:38:17What?
00:38:19Are you worried that this chloe's gonna cause problems for me, too?
00:38:22Maybe a little
00:38:24but mostly
00:38:25I want to show them your team
00:38:28Well, it's a very kind offer mr. Shepherd, thank you
00:38:33Laura
00:38:38I don't care about your best. I just want to be by your side. I think i'm falling for you
00:38:48Ryan
00:38:50I
00:38:54I I appreciate
00:38:56your honesty and
00:38:58Right now. I i'm just not
00:39:01I I just don't really have romance on my mind right now just with everything going on
00:39:07and going on
00:39:10I just want it to be your fault
00:39:13And if guancho is anything you won't face her alone
00:39:21There's just one thing I do need what is it a formal dress
00:39:41Oh security she doesn't belong here. This is a private store. Excuse me
00:39:46We need some assistance i'm looking for a very particular dress
00:39:54Wow
00:39:55It's beautiful
00:39:57It is
00:39:57I'll try this one on
00:39:59Don't bother with her. She can't afford anything here. She's just a cleaner. She doesn't deserve to shop you. She has no money
00:40:08Yeah, exactly, I mean what are you doing here, can't you just leave me alone
00:40:12I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared i'm here for retail therapy
00:40:18Oh, please
00:40:19This store is for the a-list only
00:40:21Not some cheapskate like you says the woman who barged into my marriage. Hey show some respect
00:40:29Typical laura just thinks she can buy anything. She wants with someone else's money. I would have asked you but without me
00:40:35I'm sure you're already broke. Oh, please. Come on. We'll take the dress sir
00:40:40This particular dress is not for sale
00:40:43Uh, what do you mean? You don't sell it? I want it
00:40:46Name your price. It's not about the price, ma'am
00:40:49This one was custom made for miss lewis the lewis group heiress
00:40:53The entire brand belongs to her this beautiful dress is for display purposes only. Thank you
00:40:59It wouldn't suit you anyway. Amber. What are you talking about? Of course, it would suit her. It'd fit her just fine
00:41:05And if it wouldn't fit me it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either
00:41:09Well buying the whole store allow me to purchase this dress
00:41:17Oh, please don't you know that this store belongs to lewis group we wouldn't sell it to someone like you amber
00:41:23You're not even a branch manager yet. You don't get to speak on behalf of lewis group
00:41:28Could you please tell me more about this dress, of course
00:41:32Uh, it was custom made for laura lewis heiress to the lewis group fortune
00:41:38Hand-stitched in italy naturally and apparently there are many more like it this year
00:41:44High-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection
00:41:48laura
00:41:50Do you like this dress? Of course
00:41:53It's custom made for me. I'm just here to take what's already mine
00:41:58Oh, you can't be serious. There must be millions of laura lewis's out there in the world fine fine
00:42:04If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?
00:42:07It would look incredible on me miss. This dress is very delicate
00:42:12If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly. Are you calling me fat? Actually on a second thought
00:42:20Why don't we just buy the whole brand? How's that sound sir? Are you serious? You would just buy the entire brand for
00:42:28One dress this brand is worth at least 50 million dollars
00:42:32And to buy it for a waitress
00:42:35Are you out of your mind? Yes, you see even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you. Just one second
00:42:44Yes, this is brian shepherd ceo of shepherd group I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions

00:45:33Will you give us a chance
00:45:34To see where things could go
00:45:37I
00:45:38I need a moment
00:45:40Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting
00:45:46Does that mean you could be a yes, maybe
00:45:53Yes
00:45:55Hi
00:46:03Hi
00:46:06What
00:46:08Well, well well
00:46:10Look who decided to join the party
00:46:12Playing dress up again. Laura one more disrespectful remark towards laura smith and you understand the meaning of rude
00:46:19You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone for this
00:46:23this gold digger
00:46:25You know ben
00:46:26I really cared about you even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce
00:46:31I know the name of a great psychologist in new york. Maybe the shrinks in maplewood
00:46:37aren't equipped
00:46:39to deal with your issues
00:46:41Enough
00:46:42I've had enough of this drama. Yeah, me too
00:46:45Try that again and you'll regret it
00:46:48I'll get the hell out of my face
00:46:50Let's see if you two even make it past the door. Yeah
00:46:55I'm sorry, miss smith, but your name's not on the guest list. What that's impossible. I was invited by the ceo himself
00:47:06Unfortunately neither harrison group or smith group the name is on the list
00:47:11Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all
00:47:14You don't have an invitation. You're just here because of brian
00:47:21Let me see this this doesn't even look real it's different from mine. Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:30This appears to be a vip invitation from the vice president
00:47:35Please right this way we can continue this discussion later if you manage to get in
00:47:44Sir madam, we recommend you leave
00:47:50You are how dare you steal my fiancee
00:47:55There you are
00:47:57How dare you steal my fiancee?

00:48:03Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours. Get away from him
00:48:07He's engaged to me. Hey, hold your horses glen that ended a long time ago
00:48:12Engaged to you everyone in maplewood knows what you did to brian your relationship's history
00:48:21That was just a little tiff you really think that could tear us apart
00:48:26Don't you know who I am
00:48:28Don't pretend like you don't know. Oh, honey. She don't recognize royalty let alone in duke. She's just a maid remember
00:48:36I don't have time for all this drama
00:48:39Brian
00:48:41Let's head inside
00:48:43Brian how could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:48:48Are you really gonna humiliate me in front of all of maplewood? There's nothing left to say going don't make this a scene

00:49:02You okay miss duke
00:49:04And you are amber smith
00:49:07I'm the maplewood branch manager of lewis group branch. I've never heard of it. What do you want from me that laura?
00:49:15She tore up my invitation. Do you think you can get me inside what your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door
00:49:22Please don't waste my time
00:49:45So
00:49:55If I can't have brian neither can you the duke family has more influence than you think
00:50:03Chloe good to see you. I've been expecting you uncle jones. How are you?
00:50:08Good
00:50:10I need your help with something. What is it anything for my little clay?
00:50:16It's brian
00:50:17Who's that woman? I thought you were she's a con woman
00:50:22She actually used to be a cleaner in his company. What?
00:50:26Are you saying brian left you for a cleaner? Well, she's pretending to be a lewis to get close to him
00:50:34What are you planning I want to destroy shepherd group
00:50:43Anyway, i'm terribly sorry about chloe now. I had no idea she would be so
00:50:51Intense
00:50:54What do you mean you so should have taken her up on her offer, I mean you guys were just
00:50:59Just
00:51:01Power couple
00:51:04I see what you're doing power couple you say
00:51:08More like a disaster waiting to happen
00:51:13Anyway, shall we take a seat actually brian my seat is
00:51:20Sit there
00:51:22Really she doesn't deserve to sit there. Excuse me. This is my vip invitation
00:51:29I can sit wherever I like. Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:51:34This is signed by all three vps of lewis group. Where did you get this?
00:51:40Who did you have to sleep with that's enough
00:51:44This is getting us nowhere
00:51:46Laura is my guest and I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her
00:51:53Got it
00:51:55Mr. Shepherd, what do you see in that woman?
00:51:59Miss duke is a perfect match for you. She's from a good family
00:52:03Beautiful and successful. What more could you ask for? That's a good question
00:52:09Not much actually
00:52:12Honesty
00:52:14That's what I want
00:52:16And love things that clearly chloe has no idea. I said I was sorry
00:52:23What more do you want I've watched chloe grow up she's like a daughter to me
00:52:29I won't allow her to be spoken to like that
00:52:35Anyway
00:52:38One more chance brian, let's forget all this nonsense
00:52:43Do it mr. Shepherd propose right here right now
00:52:48Brian
00:52:51Now is this how the duke family handles business deals
00:52:56By forcing a ring on someone do it or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the duke family
00:53:09Don't you dare
00:53:11You're humiliating yourself
00:53:13Dare you do you really like this nobody from nowhere? Yes
00:53:18I like her
00:53:22But I can't imagine someone like her interested in me

00:54:14Wow
00:54:16Did I underestimate your foolishness chloe?
00:54:19You have no right to talk to miss duke like that
00:54:22That's enough. You don't get to talk here. You got mad shepherd

00:56:46For the next five minutes
00:56:50You owe me a public apology
00:56:53Gene
00:57:03Well looks like your five minutes is up, let's see how the shepherd stock is doing
00:57:15What the shepherd group stock prices it's going up this can't be happening it must be a coincidence
00:57:24Oh
00:57:28Why didn't you short stock like I asked
00:57:32There was a huge investment. We couldn't compete shepherd stock prices being heavily supported
00:57:38How did you do this
00:57:40like I said chloe
00:57:43I'm laura lewis
00:57:46Well, you're not you're just some cleaner. You don't have access to billions
00:57:51Well
00:57:53I think it's time for my apology
00:58:00No
00:58:01I think it's time for my apology. There's no way i'm apologizing to you
00:58:06If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:58:10chloe the truth is
00:58:13Everyone here has seen you be a bully and a coward
00:58:20and now
00:58:21a sore
00:58:22loser
00:58:23This is so humiliating for her
00:58:27How did she manage that?
00:58:28Maybe she really is a lewis
00:58:31Apologize to miss lewis
00:58:33Shut up. Don't you dare talk about miss duke like that
00:58:38Don't forget the duke family own half of maplewood. They don't deserve us. Let's get out of here
00:58:45Hold on
00:58:47This
00:58:48Is where I belong
00:58:50and that
00:58:52Is my chair you can't go there that is the vip section
00:58:57Only those invited by the lewis group vice presidents get to sit there
00:59:02Like I said chloe
00:59:04That's my seat
00:59:07So
00:59:11I had a rumor floating around a few days ago
00:59:14Seems miss lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and
00:59:20Mr. Shepard wasn't it? Are you planning another outburst laura? Is this how you charm all your men?
00:59:27Shall we?
00:59:29My pleasure
00:59:31What are you doing?
00:59:33Let go it doesn't matter what happened I choose to stay by laura's side
00:59:39Let's go don't be absurd that seat is reserved for a very important guest
00:59:46Someone so esteemed even the vice presidents have to bow low
00:59:52And
00:59:54how
00:59:55Exactly. Mr. Jones
00:59:58Are you so sure that i'm?
01:00:00Not that esteemed guest wait, that's peter young director of business affairs at lewis group
01:00:10That's peter young he decides which
01:00:12It's uh, chloe duke head of duke industries. So glad you could join us. Why is everyone standing around? It's her
01:00:19She's making a huge scene trying to claim the vip seat
01:00:23It's embarrassing that seat's reserved for the lewis group vip guest
01:00:27specifically the family heir
01:00:30Please get off the stage
01:00:32Oh, yes
01:00:33Mr. Young
01:00:35Was it I think I remember you you manage my family's investments
01:00:41Don't pretend like you know what's going on
01:00:44Please get off the stage that seat's reserved for the lewis family heir
01:00:48I need to make one thing
01:00:50crystal clear
01:00:55I
01:00:57Am the heir of the lewis family
01:01:04This is ridiculous
01:01:05you
01:01:06The lewis heir don't you know that miss lewis is a legend around here
01:01:11You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this. Exactly
01:01:15We ran a background check on her and turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the harrison group
01:01:21before that
01:01:22I can see her in my family's supermarket
01:01:25See brian
01:01:26This is who you've been chasing after a liar and a cheat security
01:01:30Get this imposter out of here and everyone here is a witness. Why wouldn't any of you trust laura?
01:01:37if any of you
01:01:39dares to harm her
01:01:41You have to go through me first
01:01:43Brian, she's just a nobody
01:01:47She's just someone that the harrison group ditched
01:01:50They didn't even want her. What exactly do you see in her? Escort this imposter out of here
01:01:55Now i'm peter
01:02:05Peter do you have any idea what you're doing? Mr. Yates. I'm, so glad you could join us
01:02:14Miss lewis
01:02:15Sorry about the delay
01:02:17and for all the trouble you had to put up with it's
01:02:20No trouble. Mr. Yates
01:02:22Luckily, I haven't been alone. I've had the great company of my very loyal
01:02:29Friend wait a minute. She's miss lewis. Is this a joke?
01:02:34Mr. Young
01:02:35You're new to the lewis group so
01:02:38I can understand why you wouldn't recognize miss lewis
01:02:41But you listened to lies without checking the facts
01:02:45And almost called the police
01:02:49Tell me
01:02:50Mr. Young who put you up to this? Was it my uncle ian lewis?
01:02:58I knew it
01:03:02Consider this your
01:03:05Termination
01:03:06I get it now
01:03:07This is all an act
01:03:09Right chloe. What are you doing? We still want to work with the lewis family work with him
01:03:13Are you blind this woman is clearly having an affair with this old man
01:03:18That's enough young lady you've got no right to disrespect the head of the lewis group
01:03:24Oh
01:03:25Chloe I can't believe we're going through this again. I think you need some professional
01:03:31help
01:03:32Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist
01:03:35That's enough. It's ridiculous. If you're really the lewis family heir you would have the ring
01:03:40So why don't you show it to everyone show us the ring?
01:03:47Why don't you show that to everyone show us the ring show us the ring who
01:03:52Are you to make demands of me?
01:03:55I don't answer to anyone but myself
01:03:59I don't need any of your validation
01:04:10Vice presidents
01:04:12I'm chloe duke of the duke family. This woman is an imposter miss lewis
01:04:17We apologize for the delay
01:04:19How could you let that con woman sit there get her out of here? This seat was always for miss lewis
01:04:26She's the special guest we've been waiting for the investment queen
01:04:32the real heir to lewis group
01:04:35laura lewis
01:04:36She was a divorced host wife a janitor. How can she she can't be it's a lie. I'm telling you it's a lie
01:04:43Do you think we'd lie?
01:04:45We run lewis group
01:04:47Oh chloe, you
01:04:50Assaulted me earlier
01:04:52And you came to this meeting to what?
01:04:55sabotage it
01:04:57You'll be hearing from our legal team
01:05:02This is true, mr. Duke, did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:05:08Yes, it's all true she fooled us all
01:05:11The dukes tricked us to keep lewis group out of maplewood and control everything themselves I had no idea
01:05:18But i'm on your side
01:05:21I can give you everything you need all the resources in maplewood miss lewis
01:05:26How would you like us to deal with this?
01:05:29And I for an eye
01:05:34Since miss duke here loves ruining things
01:05:41I'll target her precious duke
01:05:44industries
01:05:45I want them bankrupt in 10 minutes
01:05:49You're bluffing
01:05:50You're nobody you'll always be a nobody and you can't touch me then consider this a test
01:05:58chloe
01:05:59I didn't need my family's support with shepherd and I certainly don't need it now chloe
01:06:04Chloe
01:06:05You dug your own grave you think you can destroy maplewood's leading family with just the shepherd group, please
01:06:16We'll see
01:06:21Dad slow down. What are you talking about?
01:06:27No
01:06:29It's impossible
01:06:31Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:33Years of hard work destroyed in minutes
01:06:39What did you do
01:06:42well
01:06:43chloe
01:06:45Isn't this what you wanted to give me a little taste of destruction?
01:06:49This is impossible
01:06:51It's impossible
01:06:53Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:55The news is everywhere
01:06:57Shepherd's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market
01:07:01They're hammering our shares
01:07:03Are you sure it's just yes
01:07:06Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato
01:07:10We could go bankrupt you've ruined everything. Don't worry. Mr. Duke when
01:07:15Your company does go bankrupt
01:07:17I'll buy it at a fire sale price. Your employees won't even be affected
01:07:22brilliant
01:07:26Now this is my event
01:07:31Please leave brian. I did this for us everything I did. I did for us brian
01:07:38Chloe
01:07:40You need help these feelings you have for me. It's not love
01:07:46It's obsession enough if you don't want to ruin everything completely you'll come with me right now
01:07:56Right now
01:08:01You
01:08:14What is going on here
01:08:16Did they finally expose laura's lies shepherd group? They're the new partner that's partnering up with lewis group for maplewood
01:08:23They're handling all future construction projects
01:08:26That can't be
01:08:27What about us that was our project remember laura teamed up with brian
01:08:32Harrison group is practically out. We have no chance
01:08:35We can't give up that easily
01:08:37Remember ian lewis himself appointed me as general manager
01:08:41In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir
01:08:44You're right. If we can just meet with a new heir we can bypass the shepherds and meet directly with the lewis group
01:08:51We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top
01:08:55That's right
01:09:00Vice presidents allow me to introduce my associate brian shepherd
01:09:08Mr. Shepherd finally pleasure to meet you
01:09:11We've looked into your uh company's financial review
01:09:14Very impressive. Thank you
01:09:17Thank you, but a large part of that success is thanks to miss lewis
01:09:21No
01:09:23She practically saved me from disaster three times over now brian. You can just call me
01:09:30Miss lewis's recommendation is very telling mr. Shepherd
01:09:34Perhaps today clarifies everything. Mr. Shepherd. This opportunity is gone
01:09:41Seize it
01:09:42A woman like laura is not easy to find. Thank you for your kind words. Mr. Vice president
01:09:52So
01:09:56Did laura send you to kill me laura
01:10:00hardly
01:10:01I'm, ian lewis ceo and rightful heir of the lewis group
01:10:08So you're laura's uncle in the flesh
01:10:12So laura really is your niece
01:10:14Yes, little laura
01:10:17She just threw away her birthright about two three years ago
01:10:21Ran off and married a nobody from maplewood. I think he was a harrison now. Laura's got the vps and mr
01:10:27Yates on her side
01:10:29Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?
01:10:33And we can't let that happen. Can we my dear?
01:10:36If you're ian lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring? Well, my dear
01:10:41That's where you come in miss duke. We need you to relinquish my ring
01:10:46Oh
01:10:47What if I what if I fail my family is already ruined? Yes, you are in a spot of bother I must say
01:10:54but
01:10:55If successful, I guarantee that you and the duke family will get back everything you've lost
01:11:02Laura's got the vps and brian on her side. How can I possibly get the ring? There is a way you know
01:11:08That we can make laura
01:11:10Relinquish and give up that ring
01:11:13Willingly
01:11:16Laura my dear welcome uncle ian. It's so good to see you
01:11:25Laura so good to see you and you it's been
01:11:29too long two
01:11:31Three years perhaps. How have you been? I've been well uncle ian
01:11:36Thank you for asking. I see you you've been busy keeping lewis group afloat. It's been easy
01:11:43Indeed somebody had to I mean after you left me with everything to do

01:11:59questionable investment decisions
