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