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.
00:13:19You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?

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.
00:42:25Okay?
00:42:26Well, she didn't get past security.
00:42:27You've got me.
00:42:28What happened?
00:42:29Oh, my God.
00:42:30I'm so sorry.
00:42:31Yeah.
00:42:32You're my sister.
00:42:33She's your friend.
00:42:34You're my sister.
00:42:35I got my brother.
00:42:36Now she's your sister.
00:42:37I got my sister.
00:42:38Lily?
00:42:39No.
00:42:40I got her.
00:42:41You got her.
00:42:42I got my sister.
00:42:43I got my sister.
00:42:44They really were in your house.
00:42:45Like you said, can I get lost her?
00:42:47I got me.
00:42:48Yeah.
00:42:49You got her.
00:42:50and let's just say we didn't end things so well and for some reason she's having
00:43:00a hard time moving on and you think that she's gonna cause problems at the
00:43:08meeting for
00:43:11out of jealousy there's a possibility she's kind of jealous well all the more
00:43:22reason for you to be there besides I'll be there too

01:13:15what is going on here?
01:13:19what is going on here?
01:13:21did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:13:23Shepard group
01:13:25they're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis group for Maplewood
01:13:28they're handling all future construction projects
01:13:31that can't be
01:13:33what about us? that was our project
01:13:34remember
01:13:35Laura teamed up with Brian
01:13:37Harrison group is practically out
01:13:39we have no chance
01:13:41we can't give up that easily
01:13:43remember
01:13:44Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager
01:13:46in 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 the new heir
01:13:53we can bypass the Shepards
01:13:55and meet directly with the Lewis group
01:13:57we just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top
01:14:00that's right
01:14:01that's right
01:14:04vice presidents
01:14:06allow me to introduce my associate
01:14:09Brian Shepard
01:14:11I'm sure I've mentioned him before
01:14:13Mr. Shepard
01:14:14finally a pleasure to meet you
01:14:16we've looked into your company's financial review
01:14:19very impressive
01:14:21thank you
01:14:23thank you but
01:14:24a large part of that success
01:14:25is thanks to Ms. Lewis
01:14:26no
01:14:28she practically saved me from disaster
01:14:30three times over now
01:14:32Brian you can just call me Laura
01:14:34Ms. Lewis's recommendation is very telling Mr. Shepard
01:14:39perhaps today clarifies everything
01:14:42Mr. Shepard this opportunity is golden
01:14:45seize it
01:14:47a woman like Laura is not easy to find
01:14:51thank you for your kind words Mr. Vice President
01:14:53did Laura send you to kill me?
01:15:03Laura?
01:15:05hardly
01:15:06I'm Ian Lewis
01:15:08CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis group
01:15:12so you're Laura's uncle?
01:15:14in the flesh
01:15:16so Laura really is your niece?
01:15:19yes, little Laura
01:15:20she just threw away her birthright
01:15:23about two, three years ago
01:15:25ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood
01:15:28I think he was a Harrison
01:15:30now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side
01:15:33did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days
01:15:35to announce her official takeover?
01:15:37and we can't let that happen can we my dear?
01:15:40if you're Ian Lewis wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:15:44well my dear, that's where you come in Miss Duke
01:15:46we need you to relinquish my ring
01:15:49what if I, what if I fail?
01:15:53my family is already ruined
01:15:55yes you are in a spot of bother I must say
01:15:58but if successful I guarantee that you and the Duke family
01:16:04will 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?
01:16:10there is a way, you know
01:16:13that we can make Laura relinquish
01:16:16and give up that ring willingly
01:16:20Laura my dear, welcome

01:23:47that Laura has been in a car accident
01:23:50and tragically, she hasn't made it
01:23:53she has not survived

01:25:10well clearly I am alive, and well
01:25:13so, why don't we get this started?
01:25:15no, you're not the rightful heir
01:25:19you gave that away when you married Ben Harrison
01:25:23Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument
01:25:25that you have, that I got married too quickly?
01:25:28well you went off to Maplewood three years ago
01:25:30and married a stranger
01:25:32and left me to work tirelessly
01:25:34keeping the company together
