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 a divorce, baby. 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.
00:00:29You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:00:31Just get out!
00:00:36Because you deserve everything you do for the work.
00:00:39Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison in the future.
00:00:45No, that's enough.
00:00:47I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:00:49Now it's my turn to protect you.
00:00:53Well, you certainly do have your ways.
00:00:56You're out of your mind!
00:00:58You're out of your mind!
00:00:59You're out of my mind!
00:01:00Give it to me!
00:01:01She has not survived!
00:01:03You're out of my mind!
00:01:04I'm out of my mind!
00:01:05I'm out of my mind!
00:01:06You're out of my mind!
00:01:07I'm out!
00:01:08Are you ready to play a game, Ryan?
00:01:17Sir, 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. They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:01:41Sir, what are our next steps?
00:01:48Well, looks like Shepherdview might be bankrupt by lunchtime.
00:01:57Hey, this is a private space.
00:01:59Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on to cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:02:03Mr. Shepherd, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.
00:02:10But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
00:02:18Do I know you?
00:02:22What are you doing?
00:02:24What are you doing? You 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. Shepherd, it's failing!
00:02:36The price is holding!
00:02:39Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:02:45We met before.
00:02:47They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepherd.
00:02:50Mr. Shepherd.
00:02:51Tell me, how could I ever repay you for this?
00:02:55If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Parasynchrot.
00:03:08Jason, can we have five now?
00:03:11To now.
00:03:21Mr. Yates!
00:03:23What, 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.
00:03:42Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:03:48Look, 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 favour and let Toby walk you up to the house. For my sake.
00:04:08For my sake.
00:04:18Divorce papers. Sign it.
00:04:26Why?
00:04:27You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:04:29The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now.
00:04:32Especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:04:36The Shepherd Group.
00:04:37And you?
00:04:39You're just a cleaner.
00:04:41The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:04:45I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:04:48I secured that $100 million contract.
00:04:50Are you? A cleaning woman? Handing out million dollar deals? Don't make me laugh.
00:05:00I did! It was my present to Ben for his birthday!
00:05:04I was the one who got Ryan Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:05:08What are you doing here?
00:05:10Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:05:14Amber's family is practically a local royalty.
00:05:16Local royalty.
00:05:19A small town rich person is royalty.
00:05:22And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:05:25Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor.
00:05:29Doesn't it, Ben?
00:05:33What's going on?
00:05:35Is this why you want a divorce?
00:05:37Because of her?
00:05:38Oh, please.
00:05:39I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:05:42You're still a cleaner.
00:05:43We just grew apart, that's all.
00:05:44Grown apart.
00:05:47No.
00:05:49No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:05:54I won't sign anything.
00:05:57Huh!
00:05:59Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:06:01Ben!
00:06:03Alright. Here.
00:06:04$100,000.
00:06:05Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:06:08$100,000.
00:06:10I 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?
00:06:19Don't be ridiculous.
00:06:21You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:06:24This is our act of charity, Jordan.
00:06:26Here. A million dollars. Take this.
00:06:29You just want our money, don't you?
00:06:30Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:06:34I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.
00:06:40Since 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.
00:06:59Thank God, she's gone.
00:07:01Go to the written store.
00:07:05Sir?
00:07:07Maura Lewis' information.
00:07:11She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:07:14No wonder why she wanted us to partner.
00:07:16Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:07:18You forced her?
00:07:20Wait a minute.
00:07:23Don't you remember?
00:07:25She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:07:29Yeah. She saved our hiding there.
00:07:32Remember?
00:07:34Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a $100 million contract?
00:07:39I don't know.
00:07:41Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:07:43Hey!
00:07:46What are you doing? Let go of me!
00:07:48You attacked Amber!
00:07:50Apologize this instant!
00:07:54Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:07:57We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:07:59You refused it.
00:08:00And now you're stealing!
00:08:02She couldn't afford it.
00:08:03You're a thief!
00:08:04That's mine! Give him back!
00:08:12Wait!
00:08:14What's that not?
00:08:16Laura?
00:08:18I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:08:20It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:08:26You see? It's...
00:08:27Who are you?
00:08:28Laura's new squeeze.
00:08:30Excuse me. Do you know who I am?
00:08:33Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:08:36Shame on you!
00:08:38Mr. Shepard, I...
00:08:40For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:08:42I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:08:44Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be called dead with a cleaner.
00:08:49You 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. He doesn't look like that. My ring.
00:09:01Jason, give it back to Mrs. Lewis.
00:09:03Hey, what are you doing?
00:09:07Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.
00:09:10Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?
00:09:15It's alright, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:09:18Off-rabbed bodies!
00:09:20You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on.
00:09:22We are the Harrisons. You 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? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:09:33That's a lie!
00:09:34Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura! You come back here and explain yourself!
00:09:38Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!
00:09:40Laura!
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.
00:09:52I 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!
00:10:01No, the 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.
00:10:18Can you pull up over here, please?
00:10:19Mr. 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, one week from today.
00:10:36Make sure everyone is there.
00:10:41Because 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.
00:10:52Ben 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, get 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.
00:11:25Business? You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:11:29A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey. Just get out.
00:11:33Don'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.
00:11:37Oh, Ben. Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:11:42Laura, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?
00:11:46You don't belong here. Just get out!
00:11:50Oh.
00:11:51That's what you get.
00:12:01This contract is mine. To give or take away as I see fit.
00:12:08Don't be ridiculous. This is insane. Who do you think you are?
00:12:11Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.
00:12:14Security? She's lost a mind. This is a disaster!
00:12:18Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:12:25Don't deserve it.
00:12:46Laura?
00:12:48I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:12:50It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce. You see, it's...
00:12:58Who are you, Laura's new squeeze?
00:13:01Excuse me. Do you know who I am?
00:13:03Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son? Shame on you!
00:13:08Mr. Shepard, I...
00:13:10For your information, my name is Brian Shepard. I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:13:15Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:13:19You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:13:22That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:13:28That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that. My ring.
00:13:32Jason, give it back to Miss Lewis.
00:13:34Hey, what are you doing?
00:13:38Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.
00:13:41Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?
00:13:45It's alright, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:13:49I'll grab dead bodies.
00:13:50You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on.
00:13:53We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:13:57Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. Now go back.
00:14:01What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie!
00:14:05Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura. You come back here and explain yourself.
00:14:08Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!
00:14:13Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:14:18Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:14:23I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:14:26After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:14:29No! Um, no. The event will proceed.
00:14:35Besides, I'll be there.
00:14:40There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:14:44Who are you, truly?
00:14:46You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.
00:14:49Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:14:51Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're going to have a meeting.

00:15:41Only after then, my darling, we can get married.

00:15:51Why wouldn't I be here? This is a business event, after all.
00:15:56Business? You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:16:00A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey. Just get out!

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